Possible OCD?

As a few you been told, or god forbid, NOTICED, I pierced my ears two Fridays over.

I didn't hurt much (it was kinda fun, actually.)

It was all well, until today.
Today, for lord knows what reason, I couldn't stop picking at them.

I was like,

'OMG I have to get them off me. NOW!'

I don't even know why. -_-

So there I was, watching the Simpsons and pulling at my earrings which simply REFUSED to come out.

I tugged and I tugged until the skin of my index fingers and thumbs got scraped off.
I drenched my ears (and school uniform, unfortunately) in water hoping to lubricate the stupid needles.
I put ice on the inner part of the earring, hoping to shrink it, but alas, it simply melted in my hands.

I was on the edge of crying when my mom came home.

'Mommy, help me!'

I cried in desperation.

So she tugged and tugged, but only succeeding in making me go 'OWWWWWWWWW!!!!!'
Really, really loudly.

Nothing seemed to work, so I sat and sulked for a good 20 minutes.

...My skin was crawling, I needed them out, and FAST.

I grabbed my compact mirror and checked out what was stopping them from coming off - the ridges at the end were HUGE.

I glanced hopefully at the nail file attached to the nail clipper, grabbed it and started to file the ridges down, occasionally stabbing myself behind the ear.

But I persevered, for the voice within me screamed for me to get the nasty pieces of gold off.

To no avail.

They remained stuck!

Having failed, I wandered over in fatigue to where my Linkin Park card sat on the whiteboard, and doodled aimlessly hoping to distract myself from the nagging voice in my head.

"LINKIN PARK RETURNS"

I scribbled next to where the card lay.

Suddenly, my mom came and said:

"Let me try again."

So I let her.

And this time, THEY POPPED STRAIGHT OUT!
With hardly any effort!

The nagging voice within finally ceased, but not before uttering a simple phrase:

'Linkin Park saves lives!'

True story.

Don't give me your -.-' face now, I'll show you my raw fingers tomorrow! I shall!

***

So this is what an ear looks like after its been stabbed, having the weapon in question left in the wound for 10 days, and finally ripped out forcefully by the victim's mother.

So gross!
And bloody!

I thought human flesh (at least mine) heals pretty fast, but this look like its just had its gold studs shoved into it. Can see my flesh if I look really carefully! (And tug on my lobe a bit)

Sorry, it's not very clear, but my hands were all shaky, what with the raw patches and all.

My new earring that Ivy ci-ci bought for me. Gorgeous, n'est ce pas?
It's a dog, by the way.

The matching (erm, NOT) counterpart, looks so cool. Like a gypsy earring! (Though I'm just guessing, since I have no idea what gypsies wear.)

I'd wear it to school, but I think they won't tolerate mismatching earrings (stinky conservative beings!)

I checked the rulebook and it states that we are not allowed to wear earrings any bigger than 0.5 cm.

My earrings were so pretty I decided to check anyway.

Excitedly, I ran to the mirror with a ruler to measure the earring.

...

It was 2 cm long.

-.-

That shows how much my estimation sucks.

...It's a wonder I manage to draw ANY pictures in proportion at all.

Song of the Day:

"Numb - Linkin Park"

A song Yi Ling totally murdered today. =_=''

Poor Sui Yi =(

If you haven't heard, Sui Yi got hit in the face by a 1kg steel plate.

Namely, a discus.

From what I've heard, the discus was thrown by someone who wasn't even SUPPOSED to be handling it.

And because of that simple lapse of judgment (don't know how to use it, don't) Sui Yi can't (or won't) come to school until she gets her teeth fixed.

I'm not sure how many got chipped, but from what I know so far, one definitely got knocked out completely.

Some people are saying it's Sui Yi's fault, for standing in her (the discus thrower's) way.

But what Abigail told me doesn't match up with what most people assume, which is that Abi and Sui Yi were standing stupidly in the girl's way.

But nah, from what Abigail showed me today, they were standing as follows:

So, I doubt that Sui Yi and Abigail were hardly at fault, as they weren't:

1. Standing IN FRONT of the discus thrower
2. Standing to the side of the pitch (or whatever you call the throwing area)

They weren't standing almost next to her, so to actually hit either Sui Yi or Abigail, the person would have to have thrown THIS way:

-_-;

Which she apparently did.

But how could they have known that the discus was going to be thrown 180 degrees, namely backward?

Zzz...sure la, the discus thrower was sorry for what she did (apparently she cried more than Sui Yi, but maybe only because Sui was too busy bleeding into the grass. But then I wouldn't know, since I wasn't there.)

But dahlah, you want to shiok sendiri, PLEASE la make sure there are no innocent incisors waiting to be knocked out of an equally innocent person's face.

Or ask someone to teach you how to throw la.

For me, I'd rather break my arm than to have my teeth knocked out, cause I think it'll probably hurt less (and will not screw my 6 years and counting of braces!)

Poor, poor Sui Yi.
Hope she gets her teeth fixed fast.

I think from now on I'll stay away from:

The shot putt field (someone almost got in the head hit by a 3-5kg steel ball a couple weeks back - and she wasn't the only one, according to witnesses)

The discus throwing area (duh -.-)

The high jump (I missed the mattresses the last two times, cracked my head on the field AND sprained my neck)

The javelin hurling area (omg please I don't want to die young)

Freaking dangerous man, my school.
Full of potential manslaughter-ers.

o_O;


Song of the Day:

"Alive - P.O.D."

Glad to be.

MUSE!

So mom, Den and I went for the Muse concert on Sunday night.

(Seats! Awww...)

AND THEY SO ROCKED IT!

They were freaking AWESOME!

Bellamy totally rocked the guitar AND the piano.
So freaking talented, I didn't know!
And they really sound so, so much better live, than on recording.

(Only the standing area, and it wasn't even completely filled yet)

But I don't have many pictures, because unfortunately my camera couldn't zoom all the way in, as we were sitting too far, but you can watch some videos if you come over to my place!

=D

Yeah, that was the only sad thing about the night.
I wished I were in the crowd hopping up and down madly instead of headbanging in my seat.

But I'm STILL SO HAPPY!

(Damn, I'm grinning so happily my face has lost its natural shape -.-)

They kicked off with Knights of Cydonia, followed by Hysteria and Supermassive Black Hole.
(I mistook Hysteria for Time is Running Out AGAIN, I don't know how it happens -_-)

Glaciers melting in the dead of night...

Then there were a couple of older songs which I've heard before but didn't remember the name.
And a loooooooooong draggy one that lasted almost 10 minutes. (My butt started to ache at this point.)

But the concert picked up pace again, and reached its climax at - of course - Time is Running Out.

I LOVE that song so much, I didn't even bother recording it (which I completely regret now.)
Instead I was bouncing up and down in my seat like a skeleton having a seizure.


That song was so happy-making, seeing the crowd bouncing up and down (how I wished I were there) every time Matthew hit the chorus.

Our time is runnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiing outttttttttttt...

Super fun. Though my enthusiastic...fit was thoroughly put to shame by of all people - an eight-year-old girl.

o_o;

She was jumping up and down like a mad cheerleader, singing (I think) and banging her two foam sticks in the air like she was their biggest fan, regardless of the fact that her daddy was gripping the back of her jeans, trying to stop her from tumbling down the arena.

And she may very well be, their biggest fan, I mean. I'd never know.

How I wish I were a kiddy again, and didn't care about how silly I'd look.

Imagine Bone Clinkz throwing his bows and arrows up into the air, screaming, then falling apart like the Skeleton King after the song is over.

(For non-DotA players, just insert [scarecrow hopping around on broomstick] wherever it fits.)

(Get a load of the crowd!)

At one point, they released these HUGE balloons into the crowd, sending them bouncing up and down. I was so fascinated for a while, that I started filming the balloons instead of the band. (Haha.)

And get this, when they popped, they released a giant cloud of confetti into the air!

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

(Again, I wish I were standing in the crowd, but at least I had a terrific vantage point.)

I'll show you the video if you want. SO cool.
(Also have the complete video of Starlight =D)

Needless to say, I was really sad when it was all over.

Not to mention 60 percent deaf, suffering from and aching body and partially blinded (by the fantastic light show.)

If they ever came to Malaysia again, (I wish) it would be something I'd PAY to go and see.
It was THAT fantastic.

OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING MUSE TO KL AGAIN!
(...After Linkin Park, of course!)

("TERIMA KASI KL!" - Lol!)

Two words.

LOVED IT.

Song of the Day:

"Sing for Absolution - Muse"

The only song I wanted that they didn't sing. Awww.
But still, they rocked YOUR arse.
Teehee.

Happy CNY!

To everyone!

Ang pow collecting time!
*rubs hands in glee*

With all that money...




...I could...




...I could...




...fatten up my bank account!

Haha. So anti-climax man.
I should go shopping, but I don't want anything in particular right now.
So yeah, I shall plant it in a bank and watch it grow.

Zzz...back to DotA.
(Am I boring you yet? Muahahahaha)


Song of the Day:

"Some Chinese New Year Song - Some Chinese Artist"

Valentine's Day...[2]

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.

Sometimes I think I don't share enough of my feelings on this blog.
After all, what are blogs for?

-----------------------------------------------------

Have you ever felt like you wanted something so bad it makes your insides turn mushy whenever you are reminded of it?

...

Have you had such strong feelings you felt like you were changing into a different person?

...

Have you ever felt like you would give up playing DotA for a month to have it?

...

Have you fallen in love at first sight?

...

Well, I have.

...

Be my Valentine......
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

...my darling iPhone?

Sigh. You make my insides melt.

-----------------------------------------------------

Ok, back to business.

Do you have a Valentine?
I have no Valentine. Big dealllllllllllllllllll. Haha.
What's another day without a boyfriend when you've lived happily for 15 years without one?

...Beats me.

Why don't you ask [insert guy friend's name here] to be your Valentine?
Err, pointless much?

Let me put it this way.
Me, ask someone out for an overcommercialized day, so that I can receive overpriced roses, teddy bears (sneeze) and chocolates (ohhh this DOES sounds good though)...?

Erm, it IS nice to have someone waste their money on you for one day, which will result in nothing but the same platonic relationship you've had the day before.

But nah, bowling sounds funner.

What do you think of Valentine's Day?
Eh, really annoying. Because I'm supposed to go watch Death Note2 tomorrow, before it goes out of the cinemas (oh the horror!)...but har, har, har, it's fully booked.

Probably by sissy girls who want to scream pointlessly at the hideously adorable shinigami and annoy everyone in the cinema, just so they have an excuse to cling on to their date like tree frogs.

So yeah, I don't like it very much at the moment. But otherwise it's just another day to me.

So what plans do you have for VDay?
I'm going...

...bowling!

Whee!

-----------------------------------------------------

Oh yeah, and this post is titled Valentine's Day [2] because I have posted something with the same title last year.

Apparently, they are my requirements at that time of my life to qualify to come anywhere within 2 feet of me.

Let me refesh your mind.

1. You must not already have a girlfriend. Not interested in being your dirty little secret.
Now it seems like...DUH.

2. You must totally devoted to me and only me. Hah!
As above.

3. You must not have anything, ANYTHING at all against pokemon. Or at least, pretend not to.
Aha! This rule STILL applies. (Too bad!)

4. You must not have any male chauvinist pigs as your friends.
Tough luck, dude. Go ahead and pick them over me, see if I care.

5. You must not have had a partner in the past 2 months, lest you are on rebound.
Uh...DUH.

6. You MUST remember to call/message/wish me on my birthday. This rule must not be
violated.
Never ever ever ever ever ever! I am really touchy about this, even though I DO tend to forget people's birthday sometimes, I send them a verrrrrrrrry nice SMS and the following day. ^^

7. You must like dogs. And must have at least 2/3 of my dogs approve of you.
Oh yeah. I've only met one person so far who had gotten past Lucky's fierce, fierce, overprotective-over-mistress demeanour. She's like, putty in his hands.

8. You must be able to have a least one of these skills:

i. Able to play football decently.
ii. Same for basketball.
iii. Loves and is a whiz at pokemon, but is not overly obsessed like some people I know.
iv. Able to skateboard without falling down within the first 5 minutes.
v. Able to play practically any game on the PS. Must not lose to me on Streetfighter.
vi. Able to ride a bike, God knows I have to learn soon before my head gets all wonky and I lose my sense of balance.
vii. Able to ice-skate without clinging to the sides of the rink.

Because, as your initiation, you must be able, or be at least semi-successful in teaching me to do any one of the above things.
Add on: viii. Can teach me how to bowl.

9. You must understand my eating habits. When I say I want chocolate, I mean it.
Yup. No change.

10. You must not make any negative comments about my haircut, any time, any place.
Oh, mom's skills have improved vastly. Just keep the compliments pouring in...=P

11. You must not have an unhealthy obsession over hair-gel. For I do not want my future husband (should it come to that) to be stark bald.
No change.

12. You must not have anything against Linkin Park or I will punish you by dragging you to every concert they have in Malaysia.
No change.

13. You must at least reach my ear in height. I'm very understanding.
No change.

14. You should be at least a year older so you can drive me to college. Though this is not required.
Cancelled. mom has a driver now! ^^

15. You must know what an oxymoron is.
One word. Dictionary.

16. You must have not a piercing in your right ear. Feel free to pierce anywhere else.
Those who still don't understand:
Guy + piercing in right ear = Gay
Gay guy + straight girl = Nonono

Though it's only a rumour...

17. You must be willing to visit me during the holidays, if not, forget it.
Oh I misseth my hunny-bunny baby soooosoooo muchh!!

18. You must be fully capable of singing D'You Know What I Mean by Oasis, simply because I love that song. I will forgive if it is not overly off-key.
No change.

19. You must not turn up your nose at my pink room.
No freaking change. -sniff-

20. You must not whine if I decide to choose a gaming console over a handphone. There's a reason there are housephones.
No change.

21. You must understand that Valentine's Day is a day where people from the florist, chocolate and card industries make money. Don't support them. Just post how much you love me in your blog and I'll be thoroughly satisfied. HAH!
No change. Eh wait, must buy chocolates ar!

22. You must not listen to songs like Belly Dancer, Tip Drill, or any misogynistic songs, for that matter.
No change.

23. You may not diss me behind my back. That's wuss' behaviour. Do it to my face if you have to. Though I should make it clear that I will probably leave you shortly after that.
No change.

24. My pink layout? DISS AND DIE!!!
I have changed to black and blue since then, but since it's back to pink...
NO CHANGE!
Heehee!

Whole post is here.

Bleh =P

Signing off with lots of love from Stephanie, single and happy for a gazillion years. ^^

Enjoy your Valentine's!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -hearts- xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Song of the Day:

"If Only You Could See - Tonic"

I can whistle better now, I swear!

Let me clarify a few things.

1. I am blogging today only because Yi Ling asked me to.

2. My interest in the iPhone...

Yi Ling once said something like:

"I really admire Apple. See? Stephanie who doesn't like handphones also dying to have an iPhone."

Erm yeah, I still don't really like handphones.
I mean yeah, it IS fun to sms people - when you're using your mom's phone, that is.
Even a 20 ringgit handphone bill makes me fear for my poor, poor 50 bucks a month (luckily mom pays my bills ;o)

So, I'd rather not sms anyone on my phone.

As for calls, I really hate calling people because it makes my ears turn red and start to burn.

Plus my phone is like, 6 years old, so it doesn't have any other features other than the main two mentioned above...so why do I have to go ga-ga over handphones?

I love my handphone only because it has the very first version of Snake!
(Any other versions after that are completely overdone, complicated and made purely for sissies with reactions like slower than sloths)

SO yeah, talking about the iPhone...I don't want it for a handphone.
To me, the iPhone is...

...a totally pimped-out iPod!

Woo. I love my iPod, but an iPod AND phone in one?
Why not?

So yeah, that sums up the reason why I want an iPhone.
(Handphones are still kind of unnecessary to me...I mean I've lived 14 years without one, what's a couple more?)

3. My two main DotA screen names are Ver and Link. Let me tell you where they came from.

Ver is an abbreviation of vermilion, named after Vermilion City in the first Pokemon game.
It is my tribute to my love of Pokemon. :/

Link is a guy's name from an eight-dollar book picked up from a warehouse sale.
Link is adored by his sister and is gay.

...

Yup, Link is a pretty cool name and is my little bit to support gay people's rights.
(Also, Link kinda reminds me of Sui Yi's beloved gor-gor...WAHAHA!)

My other DotA screen names:

Ooh
Aah
Ding
Haha
Tiramisu
Arc
Bo etc.

...Are picked randomly from whatever I'm thinking at the moment (cake, anime or even a dog from a storybook) -shrug-

5. I DO like my skin colour.

I just don't mind getting a tan, that's all. I find it really amusing to have the top of my arm really tan and the underside of my arm freakishly pale.

I don't know why, so don't ask.

6. I am not emo. -_-

My pain receptors are just kooky.
I don't really mind if people slap me, as long as they let me know in advance.

Today Sui Yi whacked my whole left arm with a plastic ruler for fun and DAMN it felt good!
It's not painful la, you sissies. It's just like pins and needles. It's really really reallllllllly comfy.

Besides, some people go for Swedish or Turkish or whatever massages, where they PAY people to JUMP on your back in the name of RELAXATION.

What's a little smack from a ruler compared to THAT?
Nonsense, I tell you.

7. Braces are NOT painful.

Except when the wires are busy tearing the insides of your mouth open.
Other than that you hardly know it's there. ^^

Best wishes to Shan Shan, Rohan, Chris and whoever is gonna put braces soon!

(Stay away from purple, it turns grey after 3 days, urgh.)

8. Number 1 is a lie.

Who cares about Yi Ling?
I'm just entertaining myself la, heehee!

4 says: Did you notice I was missing? :(


Song of the Day:

"mOBSCENE - Marilyn Manson"

The song that made me buy their album.
Wicked sick!
(DotA in two days!)

...and the clock strikes 12.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!

;D
