Pagan Poetry

One exam down, four more to go.

You are Form 3, Unicorn: The Innocent.

"And The Unicorn knew she wasn't meant to go into the Dark Wood. Disregarding the advice given to her by the spirits, Unicorn went inside and bled silver blood.. For her misdeed, the world knew evil."

Some examples of the Unicorn Form are Eve (Christian) and Pandora (Greek).
The Unicorn is associated with the concept of innocence, the number 3, and the element of water.
Her sign is the twilight sun.

As a member of Form 3, you are a curious individual. You are drawn to new things and become fascinated with ideas you've never come in contact with before. Some people may say you are too nosey, but it's only because you like getting to the bottom of things and solving them. Unicorns are the best friends to have because they are inquisitive.

Which Mythological Form Are You?

Me? Innocent? *smirk* I'm sure anyone who really knows me is going to disagree violently *LOL*

Went studying with Dreamcatcher yesterday at National Library... actually managed to finish almost 4 chapters of extremely boring readings on the political structure of Singapore, ethnic integration, and the education system. Go me! Productive day, it was. And also managed to, somehow or other, borrow another couple of heavy books for further reading for exams ^^; I feel like Hermione everytime I go to libraries. I'm practically grabbing everything off the shelves, because everything looks so interesting - whether or not it's related to what I'm looking for!

It's also a bad idea to read World War I poetry during exams. Got attracted to the book because of "Regeneration" - Sassoon, Owen and Graves are all in that book - and once I got started I couldn't stop reading. And then I got depressed >_<

In other news, I heard that Elliot Smith died of unknown causes or something =( Of course popular people seem to die ever so often, repeatedly, only to be discovered alive and well and fairly amused. Be a big pity if he's dead - I totally loved the songs he wrote for "Good Will Hunting". Got talent, he does.

And like Yoda talk, I do. *sweatdrop*

which groupmember are you?

But of course. *smirk*

I just realised blogger did the stupid thing where it eats up my layout again. @$^&$@*&)*^$% blogger! And I couldn't check it because the NTU server hates my blog and always gives me some stupid message about the gateway not liking the server. *mutter*crappyuselessimbecile*mutter*

Anyway... I'm trying to look for the play version of "Dr. Fischer of Geneva" by Graham Greene. Anyone seen it anywhere? Although I haven't been told whether I'm in the Paparazzi main comm yet, I figured I'd just think of some interesting plays to try out... so far they've been suggesting Ibsen's Doll's House, but I don't really like Ibsen's plays because somehow the translation from Norwegian to English makes the lines very awkward. Another one they suggested was a local play I haven't read and can't remember the title of... maybe that would be a better idea. Had originally intended to inflict Private Lives on more people, but I don't think we have that kind of budget to pull it off ^^; Cos we would need to build a balcony-ish set... and also we would need actors who can sing and play the piano and speak French. Anyone have other suggestions?

I want to go downstairs to hear Kerri singing =( But am in the middle of tutorial now, bored out of my mind while I wait for my teacher to approve my draft. Blehz.

Exams in two weeks. Next week is what our lecturers call "dead week" - kinda ominous, yes? I'll only have lessons on Mon, Wed and Thurs one lesson only on each day *narrows eyes at lecturers* And all at 8.30 in the morning. Stupid stupid stupid stupid.

You are Will turner. You are ignorant and refuse to accept the truth that your father was a pirate. You don't like to be betrayed but, unlike Captain Jack, you forgive. You are hard working and good with a sword.

Which Pirates of the Caribbean character are you?

I resent this result! Am not this sissy creature!

I do not have 107 homework to do. I do not have 105 homework to do. The exams are not in two weeks time. Each day is 100 hours long.

As you can tell, I am In Denial.

Just heard from my friend that a classmate beat a cat to death with a baseball bat *snarls* *hisses*

Feel like learning how to drive one of those huge lorries so that I can go run over that bastard a couple of times, but that would be too kind. Mummify him alive a la The Mummy - now that would be more fitting. Then bury him in the Temple of Bast. Serry also suggested throwing in a handful of man-eating scarab beetles - bloody brilliant idea, that. Torment him slowly to death as he gets eaten from inside out.

Found a deleted scene on the Dogma website... it's after the Holy Bartender part, where Jason Lee does his "evil is an abstract" thing. Just woah. That scene just fucking blew me away, even if it doesn't have Alan Rickman in it. People who I've already inflicted Dogma on: here's the scene. And for those unfortunate souls who have yet to watch it, catch the trailer here. Be warned - lots of swearing, rated "Restricted" for religious sensitivity.

Also learned that Matt Damon went to Harvard. Damn that guy is smart.

Random thought of the day: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at Star Wars as well."

Do you hear that? I think that was Oscar Wilde turning in his grave XD

Had lunch with a couple of seniors before focus group today... this seems to be turning into some sort of Wednesday/Thursday routine - wander off to Can B, bump into a few seniors, have lunch with them and feel slightly extra because I have no idea what they are talking about when they start talking about schoolwork.

One of them going on exchange programme next sem. I wonder if I should go - or if I will even be able to take part in it. *sigh*

mood

Translation:
Nemo nisi mors.

utopist. dreamer. cynic. poet. a contradiction. eccentric. cartesian. a starlight in the gloom.

The patient, born in 1984, suffers from a history of idealism of unknown onset and duration.
