zaichikarkyA few days ago I read this article about Banjo Paterson, a famous Australian poet. In the article, I realized that his most famous creation was this Australian folk song that Koop sent me looong ago called "Watlzing Matilda". Today I did a bunch of research on it, and well, it be a complicated subject! But fortunately, researching it was not too tough because there are so many sites on it XD. The first one I found was the best one, probably. It also had a version of the song(since there are TONS of versions out there , apparently) that I really liked... and I've been listening to it a lot today. So yeah, now I understand all that's meant to be understood by the song, because yeah, it has a lot of old Australian vocabulary in it... It actually almost became the Australian national anthem in the late 70s. Koop thinks it has nothing to do with Australia ^_^**, and I think that is an argument that I will not get into.
Other than that, I played Metal Slug 3 today and beat it in about an hour. Pretty addicting game, but I'll probably never play it again, heh. One of the silliest games I've ever played as well... I have also decided that arcade games are awful things designed to waste money :p. But it doesn't mean that I will never go to them, for my college city has the best arcade I have ever been to XD... in America, at least.
I still have trouble sleeping, even though Alexis gave me trazadone. Yeah... this better not continue for too much damn longer, if it does, I'm seriously going to consider seeking psychiatric health. Thanks, but avoiding a 3+ month major depression is something I'd rather avoid... the only reason I've been kinda avoiding it right now is because I have very few things to stress about. My parents have been rather lax on "you're wasting your whole godamn summer by sitting around and doing absolutely nothing", for now. If they do it more often, though, I really don't know what will happen -_-. My mom talked a lot of shit about it with grandma Zina(I think) on the phone today while I was eavesdropping, though. Hell, I don't care. She can talk as much shit as she wants to, as long as *I* don't have to hear it, I am happy.
I don't know when I'm going to sleep this morning...blah, sometime, I suppose.
