it's a great day, everybody. during my meandering explorations of the worldwide web, i have chanced upon 4 items which i'd love to get.

the first is this gun. it's a glock 19. smaller version of the glock 17. is it not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? airsoft too, so i can get it. shoots 6mm spherical projectiles at 300 feet per second. gas operated, so it's semi-automatic. plus, it's legal without a gun permit. hehe. imagine me getting a real glock and smuggling it back to singapore and going on a rampage in the staff room. a singaporean columbine without the melodrama of cassie. nah, i'm kidding. airsoft guns are more fun anyway, since you can shoot those annoying-as-hell birds with them without the fear of a bird activist bringing you to court for genocide. costs 99 dollars without upgrades.

second is this electric guitar. i dunno, i've always wanted an electric guitar. well not always, but close. imagine me playing the bat country solo. that'd rock. costs 239 dollars, it's got free shipping.

third is this pair of skates. cult limited editions. they're not making these skates anymore, so i wanna grab a pair (it's the cheapest skate for the quality). imagine me doing a 520 alley oop fishbrain. okay, i just made that one up. but i love to skate. costs 139 without shipping.

ah, yes. the iPod. the mp3 player that everyone except jo wants (haha). slick style, huge capacity, plus stunning good looks make this ubiquitous on everyone's wish lists. so it's on mine. i want the 30GB one, so it costs 249, it's got free shipping too.

so how much is this all gonna cost? 726 US dollars. that's 1,124.85 SGD. let's say i don't spend any of my allowance. i get 30 a week, so it's gonna take me 37.495 weeks to save. hey! it's under a year, awesome. it's hopeless.

anyway, yesterday i went out with lina, heather, remy. we were supposed to catch either casino royale or step up, but in the end we went to amanda lim's house. her house is nice, it's got a friggin' xbox. mostly the girls stayed in her sister's room and played o2 jam, and drooled over farenheit members, rewinding the clip over and over again while the guy sang in broken english. i stayed outside playing 2-player halo with myself, wearing amanda's imitation billabong trucker hat. remy, as usual, hung around the piano and deciphered high school musical songs. i played o2 jam a little, mostly i just made heather and lina lose their combo's.

today would have been pretty boring, if i hadn't been playing knights of the old republic obsessively. i was up at 11, and i played till 3. i finally imposed some control over myself, and i went to take a shower. after i finished, i noticed my right eye was red. not a good thing, it meant that i couldn't wear my contacts lenses. no contacts, no shooting, unless i wanted to waste my time. so, back to knights of the old republic. it's a great game, it makes you think more about how the things you do influence other people, how certain events trigger others.

but enough of that philosophical crap. it'll have to wait till college. for now, we're planning to see a movie on friday. movie marathon on saturday. or maybe i've got that mixed up. oh well.

anyway, my annoying neighbor is making me annoyed. just now, i was watching her play chess with my sister. she was obviously trying to cheat, and she didn't believe me when i said that if a pawn makes it over to the other side without getting deep-sixed, it becomes a queen. when i told her i'd help her, she said never mind, you can go now. who the FUCK does she think she is? now she's playing beach volleyball with my sister in the hallway. maybe i'll go kill her later, i dunno. if i'm in the mood to. *evil look*

i'm off to download o2jam, that extremely fun bastardization of arcade games.
