I wish I had something interesting to write about right now, but I do not, and an just in a rambling mood. Yes, lately my posts have not been of much substance, but who cares? Not me. Well, I am currently typing this on a laptop! How very awesome. Why is it awesome? It is awesome because I like pressing the keys of a laptop computer. They are so much quieter than a normal computer's keys, and they feel so much more satisfying to press. So, that is what I am thinking about right now: simply that using this keyboard is so cool. And I actually don't have anything else to write about. Hmm, but I feel so much like writing something. Ok, I know, I shall do another list of 25 things that have happened recently, as, as is mentioned in a previous post, there has been much happening lately, but most of it, for some obscure reason, I don't feel like writing much about, both because I am over it, or because it is so good that I feel like I will not be doing it justice by writing whatever I would end up writing about it. Ok, so here it is: 25 things that have happened recently. In no particular order.
1- Chris Davies got back from America today.
2- I have finished my two VisCom folios, and handed them in.
3- I am currently in holidays, and am very much enjoying that fact.
4- I have only a few days left to put in my preferrences for what uni courses I want to do next year.
5- I have much studying to do over the holidays, which will probably not end up getting done.
6- I have my Indonesian Oral exam on the first day back from school, on Monday, and I am not prepared for it at all!
7- After the holidays, I have ten more days left of school... forever!
8- The SDM is finished, and screened for the first time, as a feature length film, Sunday night at the church. You can find the full SDM at serialdrama.com!
9- I have been building stuff for people recently, and I now am getting sick of the smell of Craft Glue. But it is not that bad.
10- I had practice exams last week. Im missed one of them. Fun!
11- Blob is going good. As always. I think the new people to the game are enjoying it also, and getting into it, however much that is possible. Awesome.
12- I began writing Magenta for the second time.
13- I have been neglecting all my blogs somewhat recently.
14- I have been spending much time with Lauren Pinches recently, as well. Awesome.
15- My family (mostly my parents) are being rather annoying about me spending all my time doing work for school. Although they have been a bit better a bit more recently.
16- I have been getting quality sleep, too, which is good, apart from a few nights when I have not had very much, like last night. And now I am a little bit tired.
17- We had a really good small group meeting on friday, and I had a lot of fun eating dinner at the Waters' afterwards.
18- I am feeling rather unhealthy, too, as I have not done much excercise for a while. I should do some. Soon. I am on holidays, so it should be possible.
19- I am running out of things to say.
20- I am realising that I know there is plenty more I can say, but it is all just not coming straight to me at this moment.
21- I am very excited about the rest if the holidays, even if I am going to feel guilty the whole time for not doing work.
22- Right now, I am in Lauren's house, alone. I let myself in. It is a strange feeling, given that it is not my house an' all, but awesome. Lily and Tess are keeping me company. Don't know who they are? You should find out.
23- I have been watching much 'That 70's Show' in the last few days. It is a very cool show, you should all watch it.
24- I read a Fred Basset the other day. It is not very cool. You should not read it. In fact, if youn see it, burn it and bury the ashes and flag the spot you buried it so that you can avoid that place in the future. Actually, it is not that bad. Or is it? You decide.
25- I need to go to the toilet right now, so I will.
I am fairly sure the quality of those points went downhill towards the end, but oh well, I don't care, I just like typing with this keyboard. It doesn't matter what I say. That is all, for now.
Mainly pointless and rambling post is now over.
Finish!

BlogWall
Well, besides the fact that I've had two intense weeks of VisCom folios and practice exams and all that jazz, I still havn't found the time to blog much, recently, which I normally would have been able to squeeze in at some point or other. And I think the reality of it is: I have hit a blog wall.
I don't know what it is, or why it is, but for some reaosn, recently, my drive for posting on this blog all the time has somewhat slipped away form me. I know, like all things, it'll come back, but I realised just then that I have nothing to write about. (That is a lie, I have plenty to write about, but I just don't feel like blogging about any of the awesome things that are happeneing at the moment.) Much like what Ben Chong discussed in his blog about the 07 RoadTrip, how there was so much that was good, that he couldn't think of a way to write about it all. I am feeling rather like that, but not about one thing in life, but about everything. There is so much I could blog about, but I just have not been in the mood recently. Ok, well, I will definately do ltos of posts over these holidays, because I have so much free time. Yet I do have heaps of stuff to do over these holidays, as well, and I know that even though I have plenty of time, I will never get around to doing everything that I had intended to do. Such is the nature of holidays. Oh well, I shall put everything in order of priority, and try and work through everything I want to do, without getting distracted by the evil procrastination distratons, e.g. T.V., Minesweeper and doing nothingness. Ha, I actually don;t get distracted by Minesweper that much. If I do, itmonly lasts a few minutes before I realise I will never become a champion of it.
On another not related note everybody reading this should venture to http://serialdrama.com and watch the Serial Drama Movie. It is the best thing to hit the world since sliced bread. In fact, it is better than, AND part of sliced bread, and sliced bread is rather beige. Yes, rather beige. What a best colour. Now LET'S WENT, and watch SDM!
Also, I am begining to re-write Magenta, one of my favouite novel ideas which I have already written once. Among these favourite ideas are The Fazora Sword (originated as a bed time story to Sophie and Bradley (my siblings))(Has been written up three times.), Aurora (A series of novels set on the planet Myria. The story Gammana is a prequel to the series Aurora. I have written up (or tried to) start this series over 5 times.), and Magenta (The one I am writing up for the second time now). This excites me also. Many things are exciting me right now. Maybe I will post about it, one day. Or not. We shall see. Depends whether I can get enough blob $$ to buy a computer buldozer and knock down this BlogWall.

Update 3
Just keeping you all updated once again. I have not posted in a long while, and the reaosn behind that is because I have had many things on lately, and havn't had time to blog much. Even my free periods at school, where I normally sit down and blog, have been taken from me by the evilness that is VisCom (Visual Communication and Design), in which I have two huge folios due next week. Argh! It is so much work. That is the main thing I have been doing recently. I have been doping it at school, at home, and almost every other opportunity I get. Annoying. But it will be over soon, and I will be able to return to blogging more regularily.
I hope you all, my avid readers, are having a great two weeks to make up for my not so fantastic VisCom two weeks.
Finish post.
Post is finished.
Finishing dance.
End.

Merlin
A while ago, I wrote a post on my favourite characters of all time. I knew I would have forgotten some, but it didn't matter. But then I realised one character that I forgot that is so amazing that it must be mentioned. He even gets his very own post! Wow. His name is Merlin, and he is from the classic Disney movie: The Sword in the Stone. This movie was one of my favourites all through my childhood, and it was all because Merlin was such a funny and awesome character in it.
I cannot fully express how smanbastical Merlin is until you watch the movie. He is so infinately fantastic that you might die watching it, though. I may not be telling the truth about the dying part, there, but.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you all know how awesome Merlin is, in case you didn't know, or simply remind you of it if you already did know.
Oh, and by the way, the picture at the top of this post is what merlin looks like when he transforms himself into a crab while fighting Madam Mim, who is a very funny character in her own right. I couldn't find a picture of Merlin on a plain background form Google, so I used this one instead. Awesome.

Vetamorfun
Yesterday, I went to a session at church where we gave information to and answered questions people had about Vetamorphus, who could potentially be wanting to do it next year at Doncaster Church fo Christ. For those reading who do not know what it is, Vetamorphus is a Certificate III VCE VET course in Christian Ministry. I did it last year with six of the most amazing people I have ever known.
During this meeting/presentation/information session, I felt the whole time this sick feeling in my stomach. A good sick feeling, though. I felt so sad that we were not doing vetamorphus anymore, and so happy that I had done it, and so blessed that I had built such a strong relationship with the five other people who were involved in it with me. I love friends, and I love all my friends so much, but there is this particular feeling of closeness that I feel with everybody in my Veta group that, whenever I think about, makes me smile on the inside, and on the outside.
I loved Vetamorphus. I loved growing in my faith. I loved learning more about Christianity. I loved doing so much for people through it. I loved having so much fun, Vetamorfun, during it. And I loved getting to love the other six people in it. Ben, Kelly, Lauren, Matt, Meagan, Simon, I love you all.
I strongly encourage everybody who has the opportunity, still, to get involved in it, as it is such a great experience. I miss it so much, and I hope that in the future, near and far, that I can do much with the people that I spent a year doing vetamorphus with. The V Team.
I want Vetamorphus again! Now now now now now.
The V Team is the coolest. One day we will all be superheroes and fly and save the world from all those other, more evil letters. And a movie will be made about us, and it won't be called V for Vendetta, but will be called V for Best. Or V for Veta. Either way. You decide which is more suitable.

Ventface
No, I am not going to vent about anything, here. I merely wish to discuss venting and the like.
Last week at small group, the issue of letting people know how we feel about things came up, that is, not holding feelings back, and not venting stuff. Due to confidentiality of small group, I cannot talk about anything that we said, so I will not, but the issue was one I feel that I have different opinions to most about, and I feel like sharing that now. Yes. Sharing. If you ever have a custard cake... share it. Sharing is good.
Anyway, back to the point: When people get annoyed at others, or have something they wish to say to them, or somthing that they are holding back from them etc., there are always many issues as to why they should face up to them, and confront people, but also as to why this would be not so good. I have found through experience, and thinking about it myself as well, that I, personally, would 95 times out of 100, prefer whoever had something they could possibly be holding back from me to actually confront me about that stuff. I feel that if sombody feels somthing, they will feel it whether I know they are feeling it or not, so it is better for me to know what it is they are feeling. It is not like by me ignoring thigs, they do not exist. This is a very narrow and somewhat selfsih view, in my opinion, to me, at least. If sombody has a bone to pick with me, a compliment to give me, a concern to express to me, a feeling concerning me to share, or somehting to tell me at all, I would always prefer them to tell me.
So why, then, do I not tell otehr people when I have similar thoughts and feleings that need to be expressed? This is somehting I struggle with. I think that it is because I am not sure whether other people can take that sort of thing as well as, or in the same way as I can. From xperience I have learnt that some people can definately take things the wrong way. Although there are a few people who I feel particularily close to that I know I can tell them anything, tell them off about anything, express my feelings to and slap, metaphorically, (or not) when it is needed, most people I am never sure whether they will take something the wrong way. The dilemma is left, then, of is it appropriote to say certain things at certain times? When and how can I vent to people. Is it importnat to vent to sombody separated form the scenario, if I deem it not right to confront the person just yet? I think the answer to this last question is yes. But there could also be times when that is not appropriote.
Argh! I am being very vauge and broad right now, but I don't care. It is somthing that I have just been struggling with (Not often strongly, just always a little bit, every now and then) for almost my whole life. I thought I could blog about it, though.
I am actually not frusterated or in any of these sorts of situations at the moment, though. I am actually in a state of complete happiness, except for my stupid driving lessons. I don't want to do them. They cost money. I just thought this was an issue that I could share my thoughts about, and possiblky spark some discussion. Yes, discussion. That means commenting. Comment now! But you dont have to if you don't want to. But yes, comment now. Now! BUt no, I am not pressuring at all. You are a porecious reader, and you don't need to comment. But you can if you want. There, that sounds better. Awesome.
Thankyou for reading.
Bang. I am finished.

Stelirian
I haven't posted for a whole week. Wow, I have been so lazy recently. And I feel bad if this post if of little interest to others, as it will probably just end up being another post recapping what has gone on in my lfie recently, as at the moment, eveything that is happening all the time is so awesome. Well, this weekend was very smanbastical... wait, I know. I shall say it all in 25 point form. Yessss. That is always relatively fun. This weekend, I have done the following things, and they have made my weekend so very fantastic.
1 - Having fun at Youth Group on Friday night, even though where we went wasn't the best of places to go.
2 - Having small group before Youth Group, and just having a conversation about relationships, in general.
3 - Buying fish and chips from the fish and chip shop, and getting chicken salt without even asking for it.
4 - Watching SDM episode 5.
5 - Going shopping on Saturday, and buying many cool things.
6 - Walking around the shops with Lauren, while doing the above.
7 - Administering another installment of Blob.
8 - Having Lauren over for dinner.
9 - Going out to Crown to watch a Ray Charles impersonator. He was awesome.
10 - Drinking champagne. Awesome.
11 - Going for a walk in the city at night time.
12 - Standing on a bridge over the Yarra, and enjoying the scenery and the company.
13 - Waking up as the light shines into my room (or the room that I was sleeping in), and being able to fall back to sleep, without worrying about rushing out the door for anything.
14 - Scrambled eggs.
15 - Watching Beauty and the Beast. Disney movies are the best. Ever.
16 - Relaxing at home.
17 - Leading at the Garage, and printing our hands onto a big, white canvas.
18 - Church. Listening to half of dad's sermon, singing, etc.
19 - Speaking with friends about nothingness, and some somthingnesses as well, like Blob, SDM, Cb's, etc.
20 - Actually going out with everybody when they went out for food after church.
21 - Having fun at TGI's with friends.
22 - Laughing at Brendan. He is fun to laugh at.
23 - Free refills.
24 - Going to bed nice and early.
25 - Remenicing (I am almost 100% sure that is not how you spell it) about how good the weekend was while indulging on chocolate in bed.
Most of these things include Lauren, in some way or other, and that is because I pretty much did spend most of the weekend with her. And I don't care what other people think about how I am spending my time, because I am so happy, and spending quality time with Lauren is making me so happy, and I have so much fun with her. Happy. Happyface. I also spent time with friends over this weekend, and I really love spending time with friends. I want more time with friends. Now. Now now now. It is so stupid that there is not enough time to casually visit friends every day, and the like. I wish nobody was every busy, and we could live in super-fun-happy land and spend all day doing what we feel like doing, and not what we have to do. This time can be found, though, just not now.
And right then, I became very excited about our week (or two) in Phillip Island at the Jolly's Retreat! My goodness, I am so excited. I really want to just be able to relax with friends for ages, like I could at Jolly's last year. I want stupid school to be over so that I can do Jolly's holiday. Yay!
I am excited about everything right now. I feel like jumping around and hugging people. But actually, I don't, because I am in the library right now. That would be a little bit inappropriote. Maybe.
I had a dream that I was flying while holding some sort of plastic bag thing with a handle last night. That was interesting.
And I hope this post was interesting too.
Because now it is finished.

Update 2
I am the king of original post titles. And isn;t this one the best of them all? Yes, yes it is. It may have been simply "Update", but that has been used as a post title previously.
Ok, so there are many things which are happening in my life at the moment. I shall share a few of these. First and foremost is school, as per usual. Why is this foremost? Well, that is because I am at it right now, and I guess it is meant to be occupying my mind at the moment, even if it is not. I have much homework and stuff to do for school at the moment, which is annoying, and I also have a large concert on this Thursday. This concert is called the "MHS combined Winter Concert", and it is very exciting. It is our biggest concert of the year, where we hire out Dallas Brooks Theater and put on all of our school's best bands, choirs, etc. And, without sounding arrogant, or anything, the best of MHS music department is damn good. So, that is happening, which will be cool, especially considering it will mean we don't have to practice the same things in our band rehearsals as we have been practicing for the last four or so months. Also, especially considering I am playing a solo for the Lion King medley we are laying as part of our Combined Concert Band's section, in which I play the voice of Scar in "Be Prepared" with my awesome Baritone Saxophone.
That aside, yesterday was my One Month anniversary with the most excellent Lauren Pinches. I don't know why I typed "One Month" with capitals, but I did. And I am glad. Glad that I did. Anyway, that was very cool. To properly mark the anniversary, we stayed up until 4.30am that morning, as it was exactly one month from that time that we started going out. We spent a very awesome morning together, and then saw eachother again at church later that evening/afternoon. What an audacious day it was. What does audacious mean? I don't think it means what I want it to mean. As a present from Lauren yesterday, I got some pictures /photos of friends and her, and a lobster, to stick on my wall, and make it look special, I spent much time last night dancing around my room, sticking them to my door with Blu Tak (Is that how you spell it?) that I stole from my sister's room, while speaking on the phone. It was so exciting. And now my door looks very awesome. Smanbastical, even.
Something I just found out: Double Indo is cancelled this afternoon! Yessss! I get to go home early and not do the SAC we were going to do during that period. Wow, that is awesomeface.
At the moment, I am feeling rather happy about everything. Everything. I am just in a happy I love everything and everyone mood. Yay! And by "I love everyone", yes, that does mean you as well, yes, whoever is reading this. Even if I don't know who you are. But even more so if I do. My life is going rather good at the moment. For more information abuot this, scroll down and read the post about 25 recent points of awesomeness. But there are some otehr things I would like to be doing, but I simply do not have the time to do them right now. I need a week away from school, right now, to do these things. These are just some of the things I want to do, and soon, but do not have the time:
- Find/ compile/ arrange/ compose Barber Shop music for my BarberShop Quartet, which is yet to have formed, and then practice with them, and get some sort of act together.
- Write more Gammana.
- Write me and Ben Chong's elements story with him.
- Draw various things.
- Write various other things.
- Spend some one-on-one time with friends. (I have been wanting to make an effort to do this for a long time. I am so slack. I will try harder now. Yes.)
- Go on a bike ride, again. I have missed doing this recently.
- Get ahead on school work. (Emphasis on ahead. Keeping up is easy)
- Work out all the other things that I kow I want to do, but can;t think of them right now.
Of course, there are other things besides those those that I want to/ need to do, but I can make time for those things, and I already have made time for those otern things, to the most part. I just want a little bit of extra time to catch up on all those little things that I just don't get time to do. Where is the end of Year 12? I want it, and I want it now. Now now now now now.
And I will finish this post. It has been a long post, I should think. Maybe you wont feel like reading it all, because it is so long. But why did I say that at the end of the post, and not the start? I don't know. Maybe because I didn't expect it to be so long. That;s the end. Finish.
Oh yes, and I fell through the roof of the church. Literally. Watch this space for a post about that one. Maybe. But don't watch this space. Watch the space above this post, as that is where new posts will appear.
Ok, so there are many things which are happening in my life at the moment. I shall share a few of these. First and foremost is school, as per usual. Why is this foremost? Well, that is because I am at it right now, and I guess it is meant to be occupying my mind at the moment, even if it is not. I have much homework and stuff to do for school at the moment, which is annoying, and I also have a large concert on this Thursday. This concert is called the "MHS combined Winter Concert", and it is very exciting. It is our biggest concert of the year, where we hire out Dallas Brooks Theater and put on all of our school's best bands, choirs, etc. And, without sounding arrogant, or anything, the best of MHS music department is damn good. So, that is happening, which will be cool, especially considering it will mean we don't have to practice the same things in our band rehearsals as we have been practicing for the last four or so months. Also, especially considering I am playing a solo for the Lion King medley we are laying as part of our Combined Concert Band's section, in which I play the voice of Scar in "Be Prepared" with my awesome Baritone Saxophone.
That aside, yesterday was my One Month anniversary with the most excellent Lauren Pinches. I don't know why I typed "One Month" with capitals, but I did. And I am glad. Glad that I did. Anyway, that was very cool. To properly mark the anniversary, we stayed up until 4.30am that morning, as it was exactly one month from that time that we started going out. We spent a very awesome morning together, and then saw eachother again at church later that evening/afternoon. What an audacious day it was. What does audacious mean? I don't think it means what I want it to mean. As a present from Lauren yesterday, I got some pictures /photos of friends and her, and a lobster, to stick on my wall, and make it look special, I spent much time last night dancing around my room, sticking them to my door with Blu Tak (Is that how you spell it?) that I stole from my sister's room, while speaking on the phone. It was so exciting. And now my door looks very awesome. Smanbastical, even.

Blob
For the last four years, approximately, there has been a game in existance, known as Blob. At first, it started out as a pen and paper game I ran for my siblings and friends on a holiday. After that, I ran it as a pen and paper game, using MS paint for my siblings. Following this, I transformed Blob into an online e-mail game. The first online e-mail version of Blob is now referred to as Blob version 3. Version 4 of Blob has just concluded and verison 5 is about to start.
Basically, I wanted to blog about it because it is a game that has occupied much of my time, and I like very much. I want the whole woprld to know and understand just how grat blob is. Yes, it is that great.
So, what is this blob? Well. I shall give all those uneducated oens out there the run down. Primarily, you own a virtual pet known as a blob. As the owner of this blob, you get to move your blob around a map, pick up items to sustain your hunger, replenish HP and fill your wallet. You also get to find shops, buy items, weapons, and if you work up enough experience, undertake an evolution, by which you get to make subtle choices as to what your blob will grow up to look and be like. And what do you do with your blob? You search the map for other people's blobs, and you fight them! Eventually, one blob in a fight is so much stronger than another, that the loser blob in the fight loses so much HP that they are killed. When one blob is left on the map, that blob is the winner. I don't know whether that description of blob makes sense. I hope it does. If not, you can ask me all you want about this fantastic game!
Now, every time I get the commands for what each blob is to do for that turn, I write them down, and move everybody on the map, and do what was asked of their blob. Then, I send a picture of the blobs back. The picture I send back, in essence, is your blob. A blob picture contains an image of what your blob looks like, items and all, as well as their stats, hunger, health, strength and magic. The picture also contains a small section of the map, so that the blob owner can decide which direction to travel in next. There is also a space for availiable items for purchase, if you are near enough to a shop.
What a great game blob is!
This, here is a certain blob from Blob version 4, named Princess Sparkle. This is the version of blob that has recently concluded, with a blob named Duke as it's winner. The look and stats of this blob have been developed according to the evolution choices made by the blob owner. E.g. thie owner of this blob chose evolutions such as an "Air" evolution, which is mostly why it looks like some form of eagle person.

This, here, is the blob picture you get sent for every turn you make. You can see the picture of the blob (Named "Eye's Envy"), and stats, money etc. and the section of the map. This is what a standard blob looked like in Blob version 3.

This is what a blob will look like in the new version of Blob, known to most as Blob 5. It is very similar to blob 4, although it has an isometric map, and 3-d graphs etc. It looks better, basically, and the owners have more options and things to do. Awesome. Blob is awesome.

Tulisan Istimewa
Pembaca yth.
Aku sudah mengirim bahwa karena saya bisa berbicara dalam bahasa Indonesia, dan aku mempunyai blog, aku seharusnya menulis tulisan untuk blog itu dalam bahasa ini. Wah! Ide baik, ya? Ya.
Ada banyak yang aku bisa menulis di sini, tetapi aku tidak akan menulis itu karena kebanyakan orang yang akan membaca tulisanku juga tidak bisa mengerti kata-kata ini, sehingga, tidak ada informasi penting dalam blog ini. Aku kira bahwa kalau saya berkata nama seorang yang akan membaca ini, misalnya Ben, Emily atau Kyla (dll.) dia mungkin mau tahu apakah yang ditulis oleh penulis tulisan ini.
Ada nama lain yang saya juga bisa mengunakan, yaitu nama seperti Lauren. Lucu, ya, karena orang-orang yang disebut tidak tahu apakah yang ditulis tentang mereka. Lucu, atau tidak lucu? Aku kurang pasti.
Aku seharusnya tidak terus dengan ini, karena aku tahu bahwa ada banyak orang yang tidak bisa membaca ini. Maaf tentang post ini. Mungkin kamu kira bahwa ini nggak baik? Aku nggak tahu. Aku kira bahwa ini menarik sekali, karena ini dalam bahasa yang tidak bahasa Inggris.
Akhiran.
Hormat Saya.
Jono.
