PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

WARNING: the following post may offend some people. I would like to take this opportunity to come out & say I've got nothing against people with any kind of handicap/disability. I've got issues with people who use said impairment as a crux or for that matter feel the world owes them big time because they have some sort of disability. This letter is addressed not only to those people, but to every other self-entitled loser out there (whether disabled or not).

Dear blind guy who came into my place of employment today...

I don't know if you were having a bad day, or if you had only recently become blind due to an accident of some description, or perhaps you just hate Christmas (join the club) – however, that is no reason to act the way you did today – not only to myself but to all the members of staff... and I'd like to take a minute to clarify/elaborate/make you understand my words/motives that were completely honest and was definitely not a reason for you to automatically jump on your high horse & start pulling out your “blind” card.

1. When I said I'd have to check with the Manager to see where I could seat you. This was not a dig at you being handicapped (however temporary/permanent/serious). You may or may not have noticed that I said the same thing to the people in front of you, behind you and continued to do so throughout the entire day. It's my job to seat people. As it's so close to Christmas, many of our tables had been pre-booked & I needed to acquaint myself with which ones were available. I was not discriminating against you as you so accused me of doing.

2. When I mentioned that I couldn't seat you near the open kitchen due to your lovely canine companion. This was not me forbidding your entry into the establishment because you had a guide dog. This was merely a health & safety/food issue as it's an open kitchen & we don't want law suits because someone finds a bit of dog fur in their salad. I am well aware that it is against the law/frowned upon to refuse entry to someone with a guide dog – funnily enough I asked the question yesterday when a customer wanted to bring a dog into the restaurant (simply because she'd taken the pup for a walk & required sustenance before heading home). Had you stopped flapping your gums for one moment & listened to what I was saying you would have realized this was no cause for your self-entitled rant and would have let me seat you somewhere more suitable for everyone involved.

3. In regards to treating you differently because you have a disability... let me tell you, had my Manager not been in the vicinity at this point I would have called you every name under the sun & argued with you – as I would have done with any customer acting like a complete smacktard at my place of work. I don't give a damn if you have less than perfect vision/no vision at all.. act like a douche and I'm going to treat you like one. The anger in my system was so great, that had I not been thinking like a rational adult, I would have arranged for someone to spit in your food/drink – however, I am not an irrational idiot & have self-control when it comes to dealing with other human beings.

4. I don't know how many times in 2 minutes you want to say the phrases “don't discriminate against me” or “I'm blind” etc etc... but I don't care. I can SEE that you are blind and have a guide dog. I KNOW what I am allowed/not allowed to do. Frankly, I don't care if you happen to accidentally walk off a cliff – I'm more concerned about your adorable puppy than your feelings - after the way you chewed me out for no reason. It's a pub. It's Christmas time. It's going to be loud & busy.. and a lot of our regulars are coming in to enjoy themselves & can get a bit rowdy at times. I wanted to make sure you were in a comfortable spot, where your poor dog wasn't going to be trampled on, or have beer spilt on him which would have resulted in yet another one of your rants about equality or whatever and someone was going to throw a punch to shut you up. It may have ended up being me had you kept attacking each member of staff with the same crap... and if you'd started on the customers – oh boy, you do not want to even go there.

I've got no qualms saying this to you or anyone else who feels that society owes them something. Nothing to do with you having a disability. In my book, if you act like an idiot, you will get the same treatment. Pull your head in. Let me do my job and we'll get on just fine.

Obligatory TLDR - don't be a douche. Just because you're blind doesn't mean people are out to get you. You don't need to get offended at every little thing. Chill the F*** out! Sincerely, Everyone in Society.

What was that noise?

A foreign squeak noise startled me this evening as I was searching the internet for various Bunny blogs... Feeling concerned that the noise ACTUALLY came from some deep, disturbed place in me. I think I need to invest in a bunny ASAP!

WRONG WAY, GO BACK!?!?!

WARNING: The following post may contain some angst... (everything will be back to normal next post)

Ever feel you've missed a turn somewhere? I'm speaking metaphorically here - you shouldn't be reading/searching the internet while driving... if you do, I'm not going to be held responsible & you should feel lucky you've only missed a turn & not suddenly found yourself in the middle of a giant fireball.

I try to live my life to the fullest. No regrets and all that. Which is great & works 99% of the time. I try not to let anything get me down, try not to care too much about anything so as to avoid stress etc. You know - all that crap they teach you in kindergarten/kids shows. Believe in yourself... be positive... Trust your abilities.. blah blah blah.

My biggest inspiration for the "relentless positivity" method is Day9 (Sean Plott). He's a StarCraft player & does a daily show that looks at the different strategies in the game as well as giving some hilarious tales from his life. The one thing that really stuck with me was his positive attitude towards almost everything. It didn't mean he was always happy... but he didn't let emotions stand in his way. They are, after all, just chemicals... and sometimes they can be scary, but you just have to let them do their thing. It'll pass eventually, don't try to fight it, don't look too deep/overthink things, just ride the wave & it'll be over soon.

However, every now & again, I can't help but just go through a state of "did I miss something?" or "Where am I really heading?" It's not even a conscious thing. I'll just wake up feeling MEH and then an hour or so later the thought pops into my head. (Generally, this is when I'll sit down & watch the daily - or an old video of his.. just try to keep my mind off things. It helps.)

I don't regret one action I've ever made in my life. All decisions were made by myself & I was of sound mind when I made them - so I have no one to blame but myself.

Am I alone in this feeling?

Don't misunderstand this post. I'm not looking for sympathy, or attention. I'm not missing home. I am just getting my thoughts out there so as I can look back later & go - oh, look how far I've come. Putting it out there, so perhaps other people realise they aren't the only one going through it (??? I don't know)

I take a look at my life & can't help but compare it to my friends/family... stupid society ingraining that into us as children.

Some of my friends are married, or engaged, or have started families. They are the same age as me. I don't have any of these things. I'm sure many of them are progressing their careers, or buying a new house/car. Again.. I'm not really doing any of these.

Instead, I've spent the last few years of my life saving as much money as I can to get out of Australia. See the world. Learn about different cultures. Experience as much as I can before settling down... but no one knows for sure what the future holds. I may not ever settle down. I'll get to be the cool aunt who rocks up a few times a year with presents & crazy stories about my overseas adventures.

Perhaps I'll end up combining my love of travel with some sort of job (though I don't know how I would go about that)... to be fair I haven't really looked that hard into that side of things.

It's impossible to do EVERYTHING in life... and that bugs me.

Top 10 Animals I want as pets

I've had my fair share of pets over the years.

My parents enjoy telling anyone who will listen that my first pets were a pair of geese: Honky & Sambo, and a pair of goldfish: Fatty Fin & Mr. Fish. Not to mention the many cats & dogs that have passed through my house.

I do remember when I was ten giving my father specific instructions on how to care for my pet guinea pigs - down to how much feed they should be given daily. I was heading to school camp. He was probably thinking how ridiculous I was being.

The following is a list of the top ten animals (in no particular order) that I would like to have as pets...

10. Rabbit.
I have wanted a bunny rabbit since I was little. Mostly because they are fluffy. Perhaps part of it is also due to the illegality of having one as a pet where I live (they are considered a pest).

9. Crocodile/Alligator.
For no other reason then to scare the hell out of anyone who tries to break into my property.

8. Tiger
The above reason applies.

7. Honey Badger
Because the Honey Badger takes what it wants.

6. Thestral
Who doesn't like Harry Potter? Also, the are invisible unless you have seen death. Stealthy!

5. Unicorn
I hear drinking it's blood makes you immortal. Preferably a rare vermilion, Ukrainian unicorn.

4. Velociraptor
I'm a devout follower of Raptor Jesus.

3. Wookie
To confuse people as they sounds like a phone vibrating on table.

2. Charizard or any other Dragon-type creature
Not only are they convenient modes of transportation, but I think you'll find they will lower your heating bill.

1. A legion of bluebirds or chipmunks
I hear they like to give sponge baths & are great seamstresses.

There you go.
Complete list of animal I'm sure there would be more if I hadn't put the limit on the amount I could choose.

Honourable mentions include:
- Winged Monkeys
- Alexander Skarsgård
- A Whale.

What not to say to your childhood idol.

The day I met Tom Felton

The awkward tale from meeting one of my favourite actors in 2011 & what not to say when meeting your idol.
I'm so glad my family & best friends weren't there. I swear it was a conspiracy against me. If only I could blame intoxication.

Tom Felton

Better known for his role as Draco Malfoy

I recently had a once in a lifetime opportunity; a chance to meet Tom Felton.. and my mother would be the first to tell you I have been in love with him since I was about 6.

I was absolutely mortified the day I asked him if he liked bowling. I'd given myself a pep-talk for the past month so as not to embarrass myself. Long story short - I was at a convention with him and the camera equipment broke. While they were trying to fix it we stood there in an uncomfortable silence. I panicked.. The words were blurted out before I could stop them. I wanted to be witty and seductive.

My friend was the photographer & he was in hysterics. Tom was a good sport. After being seated in the front row for the Q&A by one of my other friends and having to look him in the eyes as he asked if there were any further questions - and then bailing.. I was so depressed that I didn't take the chance. Once we'd finally left the auditorium , he ran into me again. I got a quick hug and while everyone stared at us he told me that he did like bowling.

This just goes to show: I should not be left to my own devices with people I find attractive. I think he was just relieved I didn't ask him about Harry Potter.

More things you should not say to a celebrity or your idol (thankfully I haven't said any of these):

- I'm going to be visiting (current place they live) this weekend, can I have your number to crash at your place?
- What cup size are you/ is your mother/daughter?
- Boxers or briefs?
- Why don't you grow a moustache?
- Are you a scruncher or a folder?
- Can I have some of your hair for my collection?

Countdown update

Happy 2mths everyone!!

The time has just flown by. Pretty soon I will be in the UK partying and most likely freezing :)

YAY!!!

Welcome back Day9!

So I'm super excited. Day[9] is back! He's such a hottie! I don't mind putting that out on the internet. I would love to meet him & wouldn't hesitate to do weird, kinky things to/with him.


This Funday Monday is going to be amazing! Please excuse me while I nerd out everywhere.

I'm a closet nerd.

It's to be Zerg, use neural parasite on your opponent to build an army & use it to kill him. AMAZING!



I do understand that most people will have no idea what I am on about. The game is SC2 - Starcraft 2. If you don't know about it - seriously... give it a shot. It's not that bad! You could try the GSL or just pull up a Day[9] video. After a while, I can guarantee you will get something out of it. You may enjoy it, you may hate it.. but I can honestly say these guys are entertaining.

Queen of Blades

I've started planning for Dreamhack! I'm really excited for the LAN - it will be my first one... and it's the biggest in the world - I think. It's definitely up there anyway. Fast internet connection. E-Celebrities.

I'm hoping Artosis, Tasteless, Athene or Day[9] will be there. Such cuties.

Oh he's such a cutie! (This is an old photo)

Now I'm pretty sure I will make a fool out of myself.. if history is anything to go by it's almost a given that I'm going to make a fool out of myself.

You can check some matches out on GOMTV or day9.tv   or blip.tv/day9tv

There are some interesting stories in between games. Loads of in jokes which you can pick up fairly easily.

I should mention that SC2 is quite popular in Korea.

I'm typing this while watching the FUNDAY MONDAY... and I have to say I am so glad this is back. He is looking well-rested & definitely giving this video his all.

I can't wait to get back in to my YouTube channel & updating fairly frequently.
It's so much fun!

I will definitely link it when I get it up & running again.
