Ramble, ramble

January 22nd, 2012 by Meg in Blog, Events, Opinions, Relationships

Today is not only Chinese New Year’s Eve, but also Bryan and my 11 month anniversary.

Well, technically it isn’t an “anni”-versary seeing as it isn’t annual. But you get what I mean. Actually it’s the first month-versary we’ve had apart. :( Luckily we get to talk via the internet anyway. He’s coming home soon.

Yesterday I went and rewatched Tintin in 3D with my aunty, uncle and brother since my bro hadn’t seen it yet.

I also did my stupid Allocate+ crap for uni, why is it so confusing?  And Marketing has the most annoying timetable.   Don’t have to do marketing yet :D

Today I have a family get together at my grandparents house for Chinese New Year, which should be fun.

My brother has to read The Hunger Games for school, which I have been hearing a lot of hype about anyway. I’m going to read it- but honestly the hype it’s been getting is really annoying. I hate how people compare it to Twilight or Harry Potter. Actually I hated it when Twilight was compared to Harry Potter as well.

If I’m being totally honest, I loved Twilight when I first read it and it wasn’t the least bit popular. LOL people go all “eww” when you say you like Twilight; I’m not saying it was written well or had an amazing storyline or whatever. But I give credit where credit is due- if Meyer wrote it to make unsuspecting teenaged girls fall in love with the male characters, and consequently, make them fall in love with the series; she was highly successful. Whether or not it is a good piece of writing is another story- but it had to have something in the way she portrayed her characters or the way she described things that made it that effective to a mass audience. And so, I will not be afraid to admit that as a naive teenage girl, I fell for it, and liked it.  [EXCEPT THE MOVIES, EEEEWW]

Now I’m at a loss. I generally dislike those people that hate something just because it’s popular or mainstream. Because why does popularity make a difference? It’s still the same thing. And generally, when something becomes popular, there is a REASON for it— because it’s good. Or catchy or something.

But I also dislike it when things I originally liked become overly popular as well. And I kind of hate myself for it— for the reasons mentioned above. I can’t really explain why I don’t like it. It’s like all these people think they know more about it than you now that they just discovered it. Maybe I’m just too proud, LOL. Hypocritical much?

Anyway back to the point- Twilight may be a good or bad book in it’s own right, but why compare it to Harry Potter? They are two completely different books about different things. Just like The Hunger Games is different as well. You CAN’T fairly compare them. Ugh so frustrating.

Okay, I’m done. Now off to read the Hunger Games.

Why

January 21st, 2012 by Meg in Blog

After my website disappeared, I contemplated whether to remake or not.

At first I was kind of leaning towards not. I mean, what is the point of buying a domain when you’re just going to blog on it? It’s not just that, but I also already purchased Nivos.us. So why?

I guess what makes Daydreamt different is this: when I closed my other sites, Fatal-Act and Unfairytale; I was ready. I was bored of them, I got tired of them. They weren’t really linked to my real life events; they were just there. I didn’t regret letting them go.

But Daydreamt. I don’t know why but I actually feel sad that I lost all my posts. It feels more like losing memories than anything else, although really- they are still alive in my head. The name, too. I wanted a name that had the word “dreamt” in it, after one of my favourite bands songs; the Dandy Warhols, who have managed to keep themselves on my ~favourites~ list for ages now. I guess I thought up Daydreamt on a limb. It happened to be a real word, though an uncommon one. It happened to sound pretty, but not cliche enough to make me dislike it. It’s relatable to what I do on the site- dream and ramble, write down thoughts that spur from daily wonderings. I don’t know why, but I am attached to the name.

And then I decided to keep it. I would kick myself if I lost the name to some idiot that waits for domains to expire to snatch them up and sell them for a few thousand dollars. LOL.

Haha, I must sound so crazy attached. I guess I am. I love blogging and I love owning a site. It’s been years— I almost can’t remember not having one. Even back in grade 4 I had a website on a crappy free domain, wishing I could afford an actual .com or .net or .org. I can’t really explain it- the excitment I had when I got to own my own for the first time. LOL my internet baby.

Many weeks worth of blog

January 21st, 2012 by Meg in Blog, Entertainment, Events, Places, University Life

Where should I begin?
Well in short, Daydreamt has undergone some major renovations. I don’t like this layout as much as the old site but this isn’t so bad. I’ve moved all the resources that I had backed up to my new project with Mary, Nivosus, which means “snowy” in Latin. That site will contain resources, guides and tutorials.

This site is now officially my personal blog only, as well as (possibly) a feed for my blogspot posts on my kind of unadvertised webmag, Obvsly. Only a feed because I doubt I’ll keep up with Obvsly when school’s on again.

Basically, Daydreamt is my free-for-all, I’m not limited to making it a resource site anymore, nor am I bound to that typical celebrity style layout. But I did decide to feature Audrey Hepburn on this one anyway, ’cause I felt like it.

So what has life been up to lately?

Well life took me to Queensland for a week. My parents couldn’t take my brother and I, so my Aunty and Uncle generously took us on the trip. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever been on a legitly scary ride up until the Gold Coast. I tried almost every ride that was listed under “thriller” in Movie World and Wet n Wild. I also went to Sea World which was surprisingly a lot of fun too, I really like looking at animals; it made me feel like a little kid again. Anyway back to rides: the Lethal Weapon was the scariest in my opinion, though Bryan says when he went, the Superman was the best. I think the Scoobydoo ride was the most fun though, just because I expected it to be crappy like the Haunted train thing in Luna Park, only to be pleasantly shocked.

Well, maybe some of you out there have been to Queensland heaps of times but for me it was a pretty big deal because, well…

I’ve never been on a plane before now.

And let me tell you, I do not like plane trips from my experience. I chewed gum, I pinched my nose and tried to pop my ears, I listened to music- I did everything and nothing worked.

My ears KILLED. Does everyone get that feeling? It really, really hurt in my ears and I couldn’t do crap about it.

Our apartment was just across the road to Surfers Paradise. It is a beautiful beach. The sand is gorgeous, the water is lovely. The sunset view is really pretty. I wish I could have spent more time there.

You know where else I wish I could have spent time in though?

The spa. LOL. It wasn’t an amazing spa but it was so relaxing and warm. ^___^

So Bryan has been overseas now for nearly a month. I still miss him. I hope time flies.

Oh and I got into Comm/Law at Monash Clayton! :D So exciting.

It’s late.
Just a blog before bed to bring in the (Chinese) New Year <3

Hello Blog, it’s been a long time.

January 20th, 2012 by Meg in Blog

So I have restored Daydreamt to a very early backup. I managed to salvage a few posts from more recently, but not everything.
Thats a few hundred posts gone, but I suppose I can’t really dwell on that. It’s a new year afterall, time to start afresh. :)

Today, in life:

December 18th, 2011 by Meg in Blog, Places

I should probably blog about my awesome schoolies trip and everything that has happened so far. :O

Well, I went to Rosebud with my friendddds and it was so much funnn. I don’t really want to leave. I want to do it again. ldjghdkjghjkdg

Our house was like 5 seconds away from the beach on one side, and the shops on the other so travelling was a dream despite the 2 and a half-ish hour trip to get there on public transport. Luckily though, it wasn’t bad. I don’t think it could have gone more smoothly actually, besides that little bit of sickness I felt on the trip back. Anyway, it was awesome. What more can I say?

Stuff we did included:
- Watch half of Paranormal Activity 3 before the file messed up.
- Go to the Pier at night.
- Forget to light our sparklers.
- Forget to see the sunset at the beach twice in a row. Finally remembered the last night. :D
- Played Masterchef/Ready Steady Cook in teams with a mystery ingredient (LOL chicken)
- Never finish a game of monopoly.
- Played Mafia and Poker.
- Go to the beach every day.
- Sat in the freezing cold water.
- Chased the sun.
- Walk halfway to the Lighthouse and ended up playing at a playground.
- Played Sardines in the outdoors.
- Had DVD rental dramas with that stupid Oovie machine.
- Acted like grown ups cookin’ and buying food and stuff.

Haha, it was a lot of fun.

When I got back, the day after our VCE results came out. I am happy with them ^__^ They aren’t amazingly amazing or anything but I’m so grateful the hardwork and stress paid off. Right now I’m hoping to get into Journalism/Commerce at Monash but we will see. :D I know, total change of direction from what I originally was thinking of doing. Oh wellllll. Take everything as it comes.

Then on Saturday, the girls and I went to the beach. I had to see Simone before she leaves for South Africa for 6 weeks and I haven’t seen Anjie for a while. Shoo, of course, I’ve been meeting up with pretty often anyway but it was good to hang with her at the beach as promised too. It was super nice and hot that day, so it was actually really fun though the water was pretty quiet. Oh and randomly saw Kate’s grouppp there too, haha.

Today is Sunday and I have a bad cough which kept me up most of the night. My aunty and uncle took my brother and I out for lunch at a Teppanyaki place but we ended up eating the regular menu because it looked tastier. It was pretty nice. I have photo’s but my phone is being stupid D<

Tomorrow is my brother’s birthday. :)
