I'll probably post very very very irregularly now because this blog is almost dead and sze's never EVER going to tag again so oh well.
Liz and tricia are in com lab photoshopping (themselves?). Blah, lucky pigs. And I barely know how to use microsoft paint. During recess we queued for like 40 FREAKING MINUTES trying to get a cup of yoghurt and in the end had to throw half of it away and ran up to class. AND I GOT BRAIN FREEZE AGAIN. The queue wasn't even moving, and slowpoke people kept on buying like 10 cups for all their friends. And me and ttm kept on snitching the leftover yoghurt from the blender :)

I AM SORT OF HATING BLOGGER RIGHT NOW.
Haha today's recess was spent buying PE shorts and in the new, coolio Popular bookshop (THEY HAD IT RENOVATED! All brown woody stuff now, and aircon!) and hyperventilating in front of the lurve-a-lie glass doors. And then me and Liz and Sze went to the com lab to create a joint xanga, but its not like anyone's going to use it anyway. But whatever, cos it was fun writing all the weird stuff and interests and expertise.
And sze was saying blogger + xanga= blanga. Like telok blangah (sp?)
And we had the horrible health check again, and I'm freaking happy cos my degree didn't increase! Though I must probably have had that weird spine problem thing. And Sarah and I can memorise the letters on the eye-check thing! N HS DUFZ and so on.
PLUS I realised that just about everyone in the world is named Natalie. Or just about every female. My geog teacher is called Natalie, and so is that health check nurse's daughter, and my neighbour, and some person in church (WHO EVEN HAS THE SAME SURNAME AS ME!) and another like 50 girls in my school.
Natalie is the most over-used name in the world. After Mary, Jane and Mary-Jane.
And Mary-Kate and Ashley.
Blah. One day I will just migrate to Japan and change my names to something weird like Kinokuniya, and dye my hair orange so no one will recognise me. And everybody can call me kino for short. :)

doggerel • \DOG-uh-rul\
• adjective : loosely styled and irregular in measure especially for burlesque or comic effect; also : marked by triviality or inferiority
Example sentence:Murray disparaged the new poetry anthology by saying that it contained little more than doggerel verse.
Did you know?"Doggerel" comes from the Middle English word "dogerel" of the same meaning. Beyond that, etymologists aren't certain of the word's history. They think "dogerel" is probably the diminutive of the Middle English word "dogge" (meaning "dog"), though the connection between man's best friend and bad poetry is unclear. "Doggerel" is often used as a noun, too, meaning "doggerel verse." Stephen Crane uses the noun form in this excerpt from The Red Badge of Courage: "As he marched he sang a bit of doggerel in a high and quavering voice: 'Sing a song 'a vic'try, / A pocketful 'a bullets, / Five an' twenty dead men / Baked in a -- pie.'"
DOGGEREL WAS THE WORD OF THE DAY MAR 25 AT
