A Midget's Thoughts on Life

The only place you can hear my thoughts. Well, the only legal one anyway...

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, bon nuit

Wow that last blog was a load of crap.

What I was trying to get readers to do was to realise that it was in fact a message in the form of Acrostic poetry. If you read the first letter of each line downwards, it spells "Mindsay Blog". If you went to Charlene's blog and clicked on her newer one, you could find a comment left by me in the most recent entry, where I made an entry which was also abusing acrostic poetry. That entry can be found here. If you read it, it was me admitting to being The Milka Fairy. Sadly, no-one bothered to go through this treasure trail and find out my secret, so it wasn't until the last day of school that people found out the truth.

 Anyway, the point of this blog was to let you know that I have since started a new blog on LiveJournal. I never officially ended things on MSN Spaces so I thought I would do it now. I started the LiveJournal blog with a few friends from school at the start of Summer, and so far it's been going alright. The link is here..

Yup, I used the same username.

So feel free to head over there and take a peek. This is me, for the last time, blogging on MSN Spaces.

Quiet Childrens Poetry

Hilo

Michael informed me that I hadn't blogged in a while, so I thought I should probably do something
interesting like making
 this blog. It's not a large blog. It's not a big blog. It's a mini blog. You could
now, if you really tried, fit it into
your pocket. It might be fun. Try it. I dare you! Or you could not
do that. Maybe, it doesn't fit in your pocket, making you sad. If that's the case I'm sorry for being
Sir cloud that rains on your parade. It wasn't my inten
tion. It was my intention to make this blog.
And why? I hear you cry. Well, I don't, but I like to imagine that you would want to know why, and
you would make such an exclamation. Hmm.. what an o
dd blog. It's not a particularly good blog,
but then again my blogs have never been the stuff of Shakespearean legends. Also, it's not a bad
little blog in the sense it isn't considering livening up your house by setting it on fire.
In he end,
one might conclude that this blog is neither large nor big nor good nor bad but cryptic. That my very
good friend, would be a good conclusion to arrive at. A very good one indeed.


Charlene's now deceased blog would probably help solve the crypticness of this blog, if cracking
the code was something you wished to do. Aaron's blog wouldn't help. But I thought I should
mention that he's back, baby! He might be back with a vengenance, but I don't know anyone he
would be seeking revenge off that by blogging he could teach a lesson. But alas, I must finish this
blog and proceed to go to sleep, as being so cryptic (twice)has tired me out. I'm sorry for talking
in such a strange manner, and for potentially hurting your eyes with the manic colour system above.
Good night. Or good morning or even afternoon depending on when you are reading this.

Lack of catchphrase

Muwhahahah!

Tee hee.

This isn't a blog. Well, not really.

Although there is a blog. Somewhere.

Just not on MSN spaces.
 
See if you can find it.
 
Good luck!
 
Adios!

Toraloralor... Situation! Toraloralor...

Hilo, once again, many apologies for the no bloggingness. Last time, I got really inspired and I updated stuff, added photos, etc. Not something I'd usually do. Anyway, since my last blog, guess what happened?

WE GOT SKY + !!!!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY FRIKING AMAAAAZING!!! I AM LOOOVING IT!!!  I get to rewind tv and watch it over again!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 also...

  I GOT MY NATIONAL INSURANCE CARD!!! WOOOOOOO!!!! I CNA NOW GET A JOB WITHOUT HAVING TO EARN LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE!!! 
  I CAN GET MINIMUM WAGE! WOOOO!!!!

 

 *ahem* Now, on a slightly calmer note. Many thanks to Tom, anon (IT'S SHEILA!!! ) and Miz for commenting.. but no one tried the random facts competition. You know, you're making me cry inside, all of you. (On that note Caroline I'm sorry, but I'll send you that picture tomorrow... or depending on when you're reading it yesterday...) Oh wait, I won't be on MSN tomorrow, so you'll have to wait until Monday or take it from Sheila. Hmm... Anyway, the answers were...  Carol Smillie appeared in BROOKSIDE and yer woman married a dude who was 20 years younger than her. Ha ha, cradle-robber. Right, the next one is…

 

1.  (Ah,  screw the source, I’m going Wicca… hehe lol just ignore that, and if you do know what I'm talking about, don't spoil the secret)  The men with the most tattoos are called Tom Leppard and _______ ___________.

 2. The first war to be filmed was the Battle of Volo in Greece in ______ (year).

  Hmm.. I can’t really think of what else to say, apart form that recently I’ve made up to songs, both of which make fun of Aaron for being an alco, even if he isn’t. The second one also claims that Phil (Skelton) is a druggy, which he might be  . If I can find a microphone, I’ll record them and put them on this space, for all of you to enjoy, even if I can’t sing. Right, I can’t really think of anything else to say, except… Aha! Okay, for every person that gets a random facts competition question right, you get 10 points. At the end of each month, I will count up the points, and the winner gets a picture drawn in their honour! How’s about that, eh? Yeah, I like that. Starting form this blog entry. Oh, and April, May and June will be put into one month, as my GCSEs will probably stop me form blogging too much. Right, moustache, adios.

 
Well call me butter, ‘cause I’m on a roll!

 
P.S. No, I don't know why the writing has such a weird background...

Fussballhistoricherfamilien Film

  Ja, guten Tag! Wie gehts? Prima! Ich spreche auf Deutsch weil heute wir (meine Deutsche Klasse) zu Queens Film Theatre gegangen sind und haben ein Film gesehen. Es hat "Das Wunder von Bern" geheisst. Es war gut, aber ich habe die Kurzhose von Matthias nicht gemocht: sie haben 'Lederhosen' geähnelt.

   Okay, my German isn't good enough to continue, so it'll be English now. If you don't speak German, you should probably translate itThe film was really weird, it was about the 1954 Swiss World Cup and some dude whose Dad comes home from being a POW after WWII. I was expcting it to be ABSOLUTELY USELESS but it was in fact 'rather entertaining'. First of all, we got to got out of history early (Woo!) and then we just went to the place. A bunch of other schools were going, including Rathmore and Ballyclare High. Those are the only two I can remember because Aaron knows a bunch of people from BH (including Claire, who does German, but she wasn't there) and my primary school best friend goes to Rathmore, he was there. Apparently his mum is a german teacher too because she was also there. (I knew she was a teacher in his school but I didn't know it was german that she taught.) First we went into the place and did a really weird conveyor-belt-type discussion thingy, which was lots of fun, because I got to rhyme off my presentation which made me look really smart . Then a guy called Wolfgang Winkler did like a wee presentation of the historical and social background of Germany at the time in wich the film was set. Then we had a break and our Refuse Facilitator (Sheila) saw to it that we kept the place clean. After lunch we actually saw the movie, including this bit where the main character, Matthias, went into his rabbit hutch to talk to the rabbits, as you do. Anyway, he dangled a carrot in the area between the legs, and a rabbit walked over to him. The camera moved to the left so he was out of screen, and the kid says something like "It's tasty isn't it? Blacky come here, Atsy likes it". The whole cinema erupted into laughter, even though it wasn't supposed to be taken that way. The rest of the film, I can't be bothered mentioning, but I aso liked the bit with the name Roswitha being mentioned. Man, linking is addictive. Anyway, afterwards we waited about and filled in a response sheet with our thoughts about the film, and I was able to write superfantastisch once in german, and once in english (super fantastic). I also signed my name as Clark Kent, and I'm pretty sure I convinced someone to sign theirs as Peter Parker...

   Anyway, after that we simply went back to school and only had to bear ten minutes of french. Then I got the bus and went home. Aw, such joy. Anyway, well done to Elena for knowing that it was PERSEPHONE who ate a pomegranyte seed and so was condemned to 'hell', and no-one knew that PTAH was that Egyptian god. Right, here goes anything...

 1. Carol Smillie guest appeared, as herself, in ________________. (It's a soap)

 2. Dame Elizabeth Taylor married Larry Fortensky, but we has _____ years younger than her.

  Okay, methinks that that's all folks!

 Call me butter, cause Im on a roll!

   Adios



  UPDATE:


Proof that Germans are weird

IT'S A MONSTER!! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!

*Lightning forks*

*Electricity runs through the generator*

 Muwhahahahah...
   MUWHAHAHAHAHAH!
    MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH!!!!!

IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!!!

Michael's blog: Grraaaarrr... Blog need food!

*Blog does tap dance*

 So, um, yeah. I've decided to kick the laziness up the booty and start my blog again. This is partly to do wiht Aaron's decision to cease the blogginess. I first have to apologise for the lack of blogging, but when I look back at my hits, it seems only Karishma noticed.  But thanks Karishma, for caring. I don't think I've even looked at anyone else's blog since like Christmas, but I don't know if I can be bothered to read back, so I'll just pick up from where they are now. Anywho, I've got the bluetooth adaptor thing up-and-running on this laptop, so expect the photos on my phone pretty soon. Although not to soon, as apparently I have to upload them o-n-e- -a-t- -a- -t-i-m-e- which kind of sucks. Hm.. so what do I do now? Aha! The random facts competition. Please give it a go. No-one else does anymore so you're pretty much guaranteed to win. Here bes me...

 The first series of Big Brother was weird, but te person who came second was called Anna and she was a NUN. I can feel the joy from you all. Oh, and that song was written for JANE ASHER. If only we knew who she was. Alas, we don't. SO we move on and don't give it a second thought. Now, we've got an ancient mythology theme for the competition today. YYYEEEEOOOOO I hear you shout. Here bes me...

 1. The Greek woman who was condemned to spend half of each year in the underworld for eating a pomegranyte seed (yipee!) was called ______________.

 2. The Egyptian god of innovation and creative thinking was _________.

  Right, once you've failed those, you may proceed to boycotting this space. Until next time,

 Call me butter, 'cause I'm on a roll!

 Adios

 UPDATE:


Well done to Elena for getting the first answer in the competition, and you totally get bonus points for knowing all that jazz about Jane Asher. Go team! Woo! Oh, and I've uploaded a ton of photos from my phone, so, go go power rangers! Go go! (Song courtesy of Bronagh)

January 26

hahahahahahahaha

haha I have so completely given up on this thing it's funny. I should like just not do any coursework and do a proper blog. But I won't. So I'll go.

Well call me butter, cause I'm on a roll!

Whee!
January 05

Well would you look at that, I've got myself a catchphrase!

Yes, I'm lazy, we all know it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This isn't going to be a long/good blog, I just needed to blog to kill some time, and because I figured I should. I've lost the want to blog, by te way, so chances are blogs will be a rare "luxury", and I use that word loosely. Anyway, I had a very good Christmas, my granny got out of the nnursing home the Thursday before Christmas, so she was able to spend Christmas in her own home, I got £100 (WOOOO!!!) which I've already wasted on amazon, buying stuff including Buzz for the PS2, which I can't wait to play, provided I get enough friends . Also, now this bit rocks...


 WE GOT A 32 INCH TV IN THE LIVING ROOM! HOW COOL IS THAT??! Aw, it's amazing, it's high definition, and it's probably got some other features which are abbreviations like LCD or whatever. (I don't actually know if it's LCD or not though) and it's like, totaly

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide.

Hmm.. my font's a different size now.. oh well. anyway, random facts quiz. The first opera was called DAFNE in 1597. Fascinating isn't it. Also, Elle MacPherson used to be called ELEANOR GOW . Ha ha, Gow, sounds like cow, wow I'm pereptive. Anyway, here come the next two. For any newcomers, the aim is to guess what the missing words are. Good luck. Here goes.

 1. In the first series of Big Brother, the contestant coming second's occupation was a _________
.

 2.
What? Hey! My font's back. Oh yeah, Paul McCartney wrote the song "Things We Said Today" for ________ ___________ .


  By the way, sorry if you've never lived in Great Britain or Ireland as otherwise you really wouldn't get either of those. So sorry Shelley. Oh that reminds me. Thanks to Shelley, Catherine, Laura, the Yuki girl (I don't know if Yuki is her actual name), Mary and Gill. The comments are appreciated, goodness knows I need them. Anyways, I've decided to ask susanne for a catchphrase, and this is what she as come up with, so if you have any complaints, take them out wiht her, cause I'm loving it.

 Call me butter, cause I'm on a roll!

 Adios.

Happy Belated Blog

Boo.
 Yes, I'm back, and I give to you a thousand apologies, as rich as 500 setting suns. No, I'm not on drugs, i'm in a weird mood. The reasons I haven't blogged since like, whenever the last blog was, are due to:

  1. Exam revision- THis took up a lot of time, so I wans't able to blog at the time
  2. The exams themselves- obviously also taking up a lot of my time, which sucked
  3. The computer in the living room, as you may know, has buggered up, and I can't get on MSN on that, so the only way is to go on using my dad's laptop
  4. Emma, my younger sister, was constantly on the laptop, today having spent lke 3/4 hours on it
  5. My dad took the laptop to Denmark with him, on another of his work trips, so I couldn't update while he was away which was for like a week.

 For these reasons, I wasn't able to blog, and so, I am sorry. Quite a bit has happened, but at the minute I'm having a blank and so I'll just not tell you, and get on wiht some other stuff. In The Bible, sheep are considered to be ritually clean animals, and in Genesis, the Lord ordered Noah to take two of every ritually unclean animal and SEVEN of every ritually clean animal, so there were SEVEN sheep aboard Noah's Ark, although how many male and female sheep, I don't know. The Iranian Shah was exiled on the 16 JANUARY 1979 , which is a not-so-well-known fact for you there. Well, I hope it's a fact, my sourc emaybe wrong, but I don't think so.

   I've somehow actually caught up on all my blogs, Elena's, Charlene's (oops! Forogot about her secret blog...) Well, almost all. Aaron's, Karishma's (by the way, you two, I apologise for not paying attention to The Joint, but I really can't be bothered), Gill's, Mary's, Shelley's,  hmm... who else... no offence if I've forgotten you by the way.
 Charlene: Great to hear about your mock trial, laughed at the bit about the barrister not being able to crack Lyndsey, very cool.
 Elena: Must have taken you ages to write that, I can't remember much about anything, least of all on demand.
 Aaron: Hmm.. what did Aaron's blog say... crap, oh well, I'm sure it was a million times better than any blog I've ever written. And better punctuated...
 Karishma: Didn't really get the whole "I am In" thingy, but thouht it was interesting all the same, and once again you've baffled me at how these Rock bands get their names.
 Gill: Once more we have been enlightened by the philosiphical thinkings of this bonny lass, and although I don't really understand some of it, I really enjoyed the last few blogs.
 Mary: Very much liked the song about seeing God in people or something, and good to hear tht Becca's over, whoever she is.
 Shelley: Sorry to hear about your Granda, I've lost both of mine, one 7 or 8 years ago and the other about 3 or 4. (The reason I say or is because we're changing years, so I'm getin confused.) I know how hard it is and my heart goes out to you.

  1. The first opera was in 1597, and it was called _________ . (Ha ha!)

  2. Elle Macpherson's real name (before she changed it) was ________ _______ .

   I've just finished my exams and got all the results, and I was pretty sure I failed like all of them. But actually, I did really wel. My results are shown below:-

                                                                                                  genius, but not quite as good as Laura
                                                                                                  Neill's 98%, earning her the nickname
                                                                                                  "The Pope"



   Incase youre wondering why soem are underlined, last year, nick Henry beat my in like all o my results but this year, in every one that is underlined, I BEAT NICK! HA! (I drew with him in biology this time).


   Right, I think that's me, as I'm very tired, and it'll be my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL BEFORE CHRISTMAS TOMORROW!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm going to brign in my Monty Python movies (Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Meaning of Life and And Now For Something Completely Different), Pirates of the Caribbean and the Incredibles for watching in chemistry. On friday in chemistry we toasted marshmallows over bunsen burners, made balloon sculptures and did a quiz, which our team would have won if we had got a point each time we should have, but Atchy wouldn't and I couldn't be bothered to argue. In french was talked and ate german food and norma food and chocolate and cake and crisps and biscuits and chocolate biscuits and hot chocolate which, obviously, was very nice. Right, really going now. Adios and if I don't blog, Merry Christmas!

November 25

Ah! I have hand cancer! No, it's just a plaster.

Hmm.. this plaster on my hand keeps reflecting in the light and i keep seeing it out of the corner of my eye and thinking i have some cancerous scar on my hand. Oh, yeah, i'm back; hilo. i can't be bothered revising right now, and i have a teensy bit of spare time, so i thought hey, why not blog. i've deserted the whole half term thing, would just take too long. lets just say, i went to a party, had tons of fun, had a small party, lots of fun, went to plant fun, nearly vomited, and got soaked, but it was really good. Anyway, well done to Aaron for getting that John Lennon woud be 65 this year and to Donal for knowing that Lincoln was elected to congress in.. 1848 was it? I canny be bothered to look back. Right, I've temporarily misplaced my source, so I'll have to get these from the top of my head.

1. There were ___ sheep brought on Noah's ark. (According to The Bible obviously)

2. The Iranian Shah and his family were exiled in the revolution on ________ ____ _______. (Have fun!)


 Right, anyway, this week I've sat my german and french orals, my french listening and my english literature mocks. French O- Failed, methinks. I stumbled completely. I was asked on toursim and home life. I spent like an hour learning one question on tourism, and then i got asked it and I forgot it. There wasn't one question she asked me that I knew fluently. German O- I think it went quite well, although she says i should slow down a bit and not speak as fast. French L- I thought it was hard, but everyone else said it was easy. Maybe i'm stupid without knowing it. English Lit- For the war poetry, i pretty much just recited my answer for one we did in class, although slightly crapper, and for the lord of the flies, i just waffled. But I was very proud with myself that i managed to finish on time with still a decent amount done.

 Since wednesday, i had  sore throat, but it wasnt that bad until today. today i could barely talk, so i was lik miming to everyone to ty and get them to understand me. I also had a sheet which i produced when someone asked me something i couldnt mime saying "I have a very sore throat and can't speak" I felt like writing on the back of it "So fuck off", but I didn't. Also today, I scraped my hand on the lock thingy of a door in the maths block. At first i thought it was just a scrape, but then I went into chemistry and saw that it was bleeding a little, so, with my sore throat, i convinced matthew to ask yer man for a plaster. SO i got one, and now i keep thinking my skin is rotting because it looks weird out of the corner of my eye. 

 I saw Wallace and Gromit the other weekend, it was very good, very funny, and I'm stupid so I didn't expect the twist with Wallace. Also, I took part in the youth mass, doing the first reading and responsorial psalm, i read quite well in my opinion. Also, Tom, Eoin, Daniel, Paddy, Marianne and some others went to see harry potter, but I said no because I needed to revise. So, i missed it and I'll have to go on my own, looking like a right loner, so I'l try and convince someone to come with me.

  I've discovered Charlene's 'secret' blog, its very cool. I also feel like i should do the secret art thing, nicking her ideas, but I only thought of one, and I've forgotten it now. I discovred the other day that I don't open up to people, I only manipulate them into thinking that I do. I've only really opened up to like a few people, namely Tom, Eoin and Aaron, although I may have to more. I'm a forgetful peson, so for all I know I've shouted out to everyone in my class my deepest and darkest secrets. On that subject, I've just realised I only have like 2 secrets. Maybe that's why I dont open up, what you see it what you get. Hmm.. Im 2 dimensional. Perfect. Oh well, I'm bored, and I'm sure you are too. Adios.
