I don’t know, it seems everywhere I look on the World Wide Web I see stupidity, whether it be dancing monkeys to ignorant people surfing.

Like that girl in New Zealand who went to police that her Bebo account was hacked. That does suck, but the funny thing is they don’t mention how it happened. Not until the very end where the reporter mentions “and never give your password out to anyone”. Right there that indicates that the girl did in fact give her password out. Which is just stupid.

I’m sorry, but there is no valid reason why your personal password needs to be shared with someone over the internet or real life. If you do, you’re an idiot.

The reasons people give are funny. “I need to investigate your account”, “The database has corrupted”, “Flying ponies need it” are all examples. Obviously the third is face, but guess what - so are the rest!

I repeat it,  there is never ever ever ever any reason to give your password to another person at all. If you do, you’re an idiot.

Do you honestly think the people who designed the system put the horrible flaw in there that to investigate a user you need access to their password? If anyone did design such a system they deserve to be shot, as that is the dumbest idea ever (yes, even dumber than a certain celeb).

I guess the only example I can give is this. The police need to investigate you, and they need to check your banking records. They can access this information, as can the bank staff even though your PIN number is never asked for. Your PIN is private and you don’t have to give it out to the bank or police at all.

It’s just stupid.

I don’t know why honestly. I’m just oh so sleepy and I decided I’m not going to sleep tonight. Going to try and stay up as long as possible and watch shitty movies on TV.

It’s sort of lame really, but since tomorrow/today is Sunday and I don’t have anything on Monday so what the hell.

And to you know who for wimping out on me, chicken!

So I joined Twitter in January of this year since I’d heard a little about it. It’s a site where you can quickly make updates on what you’re doing, and people can see. You can make it web based or even text based, so you text a message in and you can update it.

Just trying it out, I’ve added it to my blog now. Down in the sidebar on the right is a panel called “What am I up to?”, and this is grabbing info from my Twitter page. It’s pretty cool and should be pretty accurate.

Just messing around with it honestly, obviously I don’t post personal information or anything but general updates seem neat.

A lot of people seem to be using it. Why not give it a try? And congrats you stalkers, you lucky devils you. Your job just got easier.

From the people who brought you Purple Cat (i.e. me!) we (I) now bring you Slutty Cat!

My cat is funny, she randomly decides to imitate a dog who stays with us sometimes, flat on her back with legs spread. What does that remind me of?

Isn’t that little face so very cute though!

In other worlds the weather around here has been completely shocking. We had storms up and down the whole country this whole week, and it (combined with a faulty mains line) knocked out power out for over 30 hours. Let me tell you, that was horrible, I can’t believe how much I rely on electricity!

It was scary, especially at night as it was quiet and dark. What sucked was our neighbours lights were still on as well >.<

Ah well, it’s back now and I’ve learnt my lesson. We didn’t have any matches as nobody in my house is a smoker, so our candles were pretty useless. Gotta have a lighter somewhere to get things working.

Speaking of lighters and candles, what is it with candles that makes it so appealing to drip wax on your finger. It entertained me for an hour or so when the power was out, but it didn’t last long. But it’s part of that whole self-harm thing, a little shock of pain from the heat and then it goes. I think I’m a little pyromaniac, as fire is so… hypnotising.

It’s probably a good idea to remove the fire starters in my house.

Ah well.

So randomly I stumbled across this movie on TV. Frankly, it didn’t appeal to me, I mean look at the synopsis on IMDB.com!

In a Christian school (not Catholic), the fanatic and wealthy Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore) and Mary (Jena Malone) are best friends. Their friendship ends when Mary gets pregnant, after having sex with her gay boy-friend trying to “save” him, and questions Jesus’ will. Meanwhile, the rebel Jewish Cassandra (Eva Amurri) dates Hillary’s brother, the crippled Roland (Macaulay Culkin), and together with the newcomer son of the local pastor, Patrick (Patrick Fugit), they become the new friends of Mary, supporting her situation. Written by Claudio Carvalho

Honestly, it’s nothing that appeals to me. But I was wrong. Completely wrong.

This movie was great, I sat their cracking up at the funny parts, enjoying myself completely. I mean when Mary found out her (totally hot Ice Skater) boyfriend was gay she was convinced it was her job to save him. So she tried, even giving up her virginity to him. But it didn’t work, and he’s shipped off to Mercy House, one of those lovely places that try and fix you. The gays, alcoholics, druggies, unwed mothers. Basically the scum of society really.

Unfortunately there’s a consequence of having unprotected sex has, as Mary was about to figure out. Kinda sucked since their only sex-ed class was pretty much two minutes of “good Christians wait until marriage”.

So now Mary is pregnant, and her beliefs are shaken a little. She’s been brought up to believe everything, saving yourself until marriage, Jesus loves everyone.

Obviously Mary ends up changing, and she does sum everything up kind of nicely at the end when arguing with the pastor,

Why would God make us all so different if he wanted us to be the same?

I’m a sucker for sappy movies, which is why I liked this one.

So I’ve discovered what it’s like without electricity. It sucks.

The power went out at our house due to the storms that are up and down the country for the moment. It totally sucks, but we dealt with it.

So we went on with our lives realizing how boring everything was without electricity. Seriously, it sucked. It was dark and very quiet, though the candles did make things look nice.

In the end an electrician fixed everything, but man did it suck before then.

So I’m going to try and conserve electricity, ‘cos I never want to get in that sort of situation again if I can help it.

So went and saw this movie the other day. It wasn’t the greatest, but I did enjoy myself.

How’s that for long posts xD

I was clearing out my saved messages box on Gaia, and I found this poem a friend sent to me. It’s still one of my favourites.

Unseen Friend
by Iceman
Although you are a friend of mine
and letters we exchange,
I wouldn’t know you on the street,
and doesn’t that seem strange?

You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.

I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can’t see.

So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.

That’s all internet land.

So it is indeed my 20th birthday. I’m 20. Not 19. 20. Not 18. 20.

Such fun, I can vote, drink, drive and do jury service. Hang-on, I could do that already. Interesting.

So for my birthday I got some money from my grandparents for car seat covers, I’ve wanted some for so long, Outrageous Fortune Season 3 on DVD from a friend and my dad got me a car cd/mp3 player. Ironically a friend (awesome friend) from school also got me one, so I ended up with 2 XD

Neither have been installed at the moment, as we had some trouble with the power source. But it should all be good tomorrow. I’m also going to finally clean my car! It desperately needs it honestly, it is actually how sad how filthy it is. I’m a slob honestly.

Went to the movies with a couple of friends from class and we saw Hancock. It was cool even though it didn’t have much of a plot.

Now to just wander the internet for a while before falling asleep

So the other morning I wake up and what do I see? I see my cat sitting on my old CRT screen as she normally does. However she’s gotten into something, resulting in Purple Cat.
So I would like to introduce Purple Cat to the world, my funny little cat who likes getting into things.

The funny thing about her is the fact that she loves getting into things. Boxes, drawers, bags, cupboards, baskets. Pretty much anything that isn’t her own cat house. I’ve watched her try to get into one of those old VCR tape covers, the cardboard ones which are about an inch thick. It was very funny.

Branching off slightly, so I’ve gone and updated indeedle again. Its finally my break and so I can now set up my personal website. Indeedle is mine, its my blog and where I keep my stuff. BlooLagoo is my forum, but I’ve shifted my personal things away from it. Speaking as such, I’ve got to stop neglecting it.

Come say hello on BlooLagoo, as I try to revive it.
