Just Womblin' Around

Underground, Overground, Wombling Free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. Making good use of the things that we find, things that the everyday folks leave behind. Uncle Bulgaria, he can remember the days when he wasn't behind The Times, with his map of the World. Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory! Wombles are organized, work as a team. Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean. Underground, Overground, wombling free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. People don't notice us, they never see, under their noses a Womble may be. We womble by night and we womble by day, looking for litter to trundle away. We're so incredibly, utterly devious making the most of everything. Even bottles and tins. Pick up the pieces and make them into something new, is what we do!

I like the wombles.

Gee, Officer Krupke!

I'd just like to announce my supreme appreciation of West Side Story. For yall who don't know what West Side Story is about, here is a brief overview for you: The two enemy clans are called the "JETS!" and the "SHARKS!" and both fued over who the rightful turf-owner is. The Jets, being racists bully the Sharks, and the Sharks being testosterone filled hooligans fight back. Resulting in impending doom and tragedy when Romeo who is Tony and Juliet who is Maria, fall in forbidden love. Bernardo dies, Whats-his-face dies. They reconcile. The end. HOWEVER, the big twist is: it's set in the slums of 80's America! HOW ABOUT THAT EH?!

Pretty much the most amazing musical, with all the greatest musical hits you could ever dream of coming from this simple, humble and slightly plagirised fiasco! My favourite numbers are: "Gee, Officer Krupke", "MARIA!", "America!" (thanks Gen), "A Boy Like That", "Stay Cool" and of course the "Tonight" quintet. No-one could ever imagine being as cool and groovy as the West Side Story cast, and with their impressive dance moves, clicks, singing, gang fighting skills and acting, they are at the top of the BRILLIANT MUSICAL list. :)

So stay cool boy, and enjoy this video, Maria, sung by the legendary TONY! Because as the Jets so rightly put it: "we're disturbed, we're disturbed, We're the most disturbed, Like we're psychologic'ly disturbed!"

IKEA, heaven's made of it.

I swear, nothing in the world can compare to IKEA's mutant bargains, and their ultimate packaging techniques, and their creative design, and their hip and cool colours and styles. If I could live there, I probably would, and just live on danishes and meatballs. I also love it how it's like a maze, except better, because on your journey you get to look at cool chairs and bookshelves, instead of boring old hedge. AND there are those free little wooden pencils, and measuring tapes. And the giant carry bags that you can put on your back and pretend to be a turtle with.

Sweden should feel proud to achieve something as amazing as IKEA, and seriously, should get an award for "Best Shop On The Earth" I love all IKEA's of different shapes and sizes, and no IKEA is ever enough. So keep up the good work IKEA, because you're doing a splendid job, and if you were my child I would weep myself to sleep with pride. :)

Love you, IKEA.

He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named

Yeah. That's right. VOLDEMORT. *gasp!*

For years he's caused havock among the wizarding world! And the poor unnaware muggles are in danger! Yes, I'm still living in The Order of the Phoenix phase, shut up haters. :) Anyway. I'd just like to express my extreme hate for the Dark Lord. I mean, seriously, he's about as ridiculous as it gets. Prancing around and ordering everyone to do stuff for him. It's vulgur. I also would like to share that I have chronic voldemortaphobias. I actually think being scared of voldemort is legit, because his face looks like its in one of those stocking masks when your face goes all retarded like you look at his face and want to say "you're recovering well since your face got put in a blender!". It's just the snout kind of thing going on in the center.... and he's bald... and lots of teeth, it's the ultimate combo of weird.

So don't go hating on people just because they're scared of things in Harry Potter. Because, like Twilight, it is real. And magic does exist. And so do vampires and werewolves. So eat up this knowledge and take it like a real man. :)

I like having Friends.

Yes. That is correct. I like having friends.

There is no greater joy in life than having a special person to always be your pal, and who you know will always love you. I believe that I have the most incredible friends. And quite frankly, I cannot imagine any kind of happy life of mine without them. I have been most fortunate during my existance so far to have met some of the most amazing people, whether they be on the West side (yasminos, riley, tess) or smack bang in the middle (claude, twiggy, lis, rosie, michelle) of Australia. Who cares? I love you all. And I also think that having over-seas friends is one of the coolest things ever too.

In the future, my one and most wanted goal is to be miss close's best friend. But seeing as she is already quite popular, I don't want too dream to big, as this often leads to severe disapointment and depression. But I think that even the saddest and meanest people on the planet deserve a friend. And if you think about it, they're probably only mean because they're having a woeful day, or are just angry at the world, like Harry Potter. I think we should all be a little bit more like Ron Weasley, and be loyal and happy friends. Because as the saying goes "there's no better friend than a ranga named Ron". Actaully. I lie. I made that up. But still, it's a pretty good life message.

So take the time to appreciate your friends, and let them know that you love them, because one day it'll be YOU who's having a shitake day, and you'll appreciate appreciating friends.
