I totally have performance anxiety now.

Oh Lordy. I have just received the single greatest compliment ever. And so I thought I'd share it with you all.

It starts with Tim. You see, he's a pretty hard guy to please a lot of the time. So, it stands to reason that his friends are also pretty hard to impress, as they need the discerning taste that stands up to Tim scrutiny. Are ye all following? Coz I'm not actually sure that sentence made sense. I'm not doing a good job at this, thus negating all I'm about to say. But what I'm trying to say is that, one of Tim's friends in particular is hard to impress. As Tim puts it, "Uh... forthright, blunt and delightfully arrogant?" But I have done it, my friends! May I submit to you an excerpt from a conversation between Tim and I. Dirty bits and names edited out.

Tim says:
Oh speaking of the internet!
Tim says:
I was totally talking to "Jeeeoorrb*" last night.
Tim says:
And he was all "Yeah, so I was totally reading through your links cos' I was bored, and, well, your girlfriend is funnier than you."

*Jeeeoorrb obviously being the name I edited out.

This long-time, discerning critic of a friend, says I'm funny!

Man, when you go into italics in blogger it is *really* hard to get out. I also edited a misplaced '@'. Hope you don't mind. I know, it changes the context completely. But what can I say, I'm a spin-doctor.

I know, I'm tooting my horn like a one-man orchestra tonight, but this put a huge grin on my face, you gotta understand.

Anyway, that's enough I guess. What else is going on?

Oh, I know. I went to the MURPS Annual General Meeting the other day. MURPS? What is MURPS? It's an awkward name for an awkward society. Macquarie University Role-Playing Society. Actually, I'm not sure that's what it is, I'm just using my well-established common sense. So forgive me if that's not it! Anyway, role-playing society. We played some games, elected some executives, and made some awkward small talk. All in all, a nice bunch of people. They don't have regular meetings though, and you actually have to sign up to go to a game or something. So I'm not sure how many *anythings* I'll be attending. But I get a discount at a few nerd shops around the place, so it was still worth the $2 joining fee.

Speaking of uni, tomorrow I'm having lunch with Tom, and someone known only to both of us as "Metal-Kid". If you happen to read Tom's journal, and I strongly suggest you do, this is the kid that approached Tom out of the blue and talked to him about Nightwish for 20 minutes straight. He doesn't know his name! I'll learn it tomorrow, with luck.

Speaking of reading journals, I also strongly suggest reading "F-Man's Blog". His latest entry had me LOLing for a a good long time, and in the middle of the night too, which I'm sure my dad in the next room didn't appreciate. He's a super-funny guy.

Man, if I were a superhero, or indeed, superheroine, my superpower would totally be hilarity. I'm pretty sure I've got that down already. All I need now is a cape.

Watch as I disarm these minions with a quip that cuts to the bone!

Speaking of useless superheroes, (I am truly Mistress Segue tonight!) I was anticipating the newest edition of "The Non-Adventures of Wonderella" SO HARD. But upon reading it tonight, it was not particularly chuckle worthy! Hopefully the author was just having a bad.. um. However-long-it's-been-since-they-updated. Or else they might find themselves deleted from my Webcomics bookmark folder. The bane of every webcomicist out there, truly. I coined another word! I'm on a lexicographical roll!

Man, it took me so long to think of that word.

Oh gawd. Thanks, Tim. I totally have performance anxiety now. I mean, I'm not so vain to think that this previously mentioned person will be coming back periodically to see what I've written. But what if, on the off chance, he does! This entry isn't up to standard!

By the way, I should bring up my disappointment with the lack of comments! Honestly, I disappear for a month or two, and suddenly you all forget I exist! Julieanne! James! You both commented on Tom's! I'm heartbroken!

Oh man, I totally booked my flight to Perth the other day. I'm now, offically and definately going back for two weeks in mid-semester break. I know, I always go when it's holidays, which means my socialising with Sydney Uni people and others, I suppose, is sort of cut down. But.. but.. LOVE, people! It's very important!

There's nothing stopping you from coming with me! Apart from the expenses and the fact that I can't offer you a place to stay. But the streets are enough for you! Honestly, Perth is so friendly, they see you lying in the gutter, they'll probably built you a little hut or something. Well, maybe, if it's raining.

Tom's coming to DragonForce with me! Also, I think we may have enlisted Metal-Kid as well. You should all come so you can meet him. Well, I should probably learn his name before then.

Also, Within Temptation's new album has just been released. I.. am tossing up whether to get it! It seems they've been somewhat Evanescecised lately. Or at least, their one single from this album. Or.. I don't know. They made a song for an upcoming MMO which was all Nu-Metally, but I'm not sure it's on the album. Sigh! I guess I'll have to do some investigating before I go out and buy/shoplift it.

And that's it for tonight's Metal Update, back to you, Vanessa, at the Newsdesk.

I used to know a girl named Vanessa. I wonder what ever happened to her.

Blogger's wiggin' out now! I think that's a sign for me to go! Kisses and whatnot!
