Preface
My Laptop is on Hiatus. I recommend typewriters to everyone. Not only do they make fun noises during celebrity spelling bees, but you also get to create your very own exclamation marks! As an added bonus, if you touch the tape, life begins to get very, very fingerprinty…
Three weeks have passed, and the majority of us have emerged on the other side as slightly different people. Some have become bearers of various flowers, symbolic of various roles, some people have gotten slightly older (well, in actuality, we’re all getting slightly older all the time…in the time it took me to write that, I too have aged vastly) There’s been the beginning of exams, and much saying of “Dui Bu Qi, wo bu zhi dao” a.k.a. “I’m sorry, I don’t know. Korean soap operas translated into Cantonese, then into Mandarin have been watched for “revisical purposes,” and, possibly most significantly of all, there has been: watching of Pride and Prejudice, reading of Pride and Prejudice, talking about Pride and Prejudice, rewinding and fast-forwarding of Mary Bryant to see ad for Pride and Prejudice. I fear if this continues for much longer, there will be “Severe Pride and Prejudice induced bashing” quickly curtailed by the contagious bouts of “Darcyism.”
…also some horse won some race.
But what is the most important thing that has happened thus far? Is it the looming dawn of a position of responsibility and leadership within the school? Is it the developing talent of balancing work with play? Is it remembering to change your Gerbera’s water? Alas! No, it is none of the above. It is: realising the irony that on most bottles of correction fluid, the product inside is proclaimed to be “Wite-out.” Clever advertising method, or just pure, blatent, and traditional: what-the?-ism? A question unlikely to be answered, but yet allowed me to use two question marks over three letters and a symbol!
So in closing: “Look at Mars!!! It’s red and visible and in the sky… all this month!
...and no, I am not going to talk about the aggression that is me vs. badminton…GAH!

hey elizabeth good to finally hear from u again! so everyones changeing (wat a surprise lol) but yes neways i still havent seen pride and predjudice i read the book (mental blank on spelling) i am procrastinating right now from doin a legal assignment!
pride and prejudice = so good. tho maybe rewinding/fast forwarding is a little extreme...
you know what would be REALLY mean but REALLY funny? getting someone's *cough* brother's *cough* liquid white out in a bottle and putting paint/ food colouring in it ;o) definately no longer white-out hehe [well i would if he had white-out...]
yay for mars!!
In all the hysteria of Darcyism, I'd forgotten all about Seth!
..but Darcy is still good...
...btw, just noticed: Mars not in sky, as that would put it uncomfortably close to earth. What should have been said is: "Mars is visible in the sky, but in actualtity is quite a distance away
lol nice cover there elizabeth!
PHEW! look! its comment number 7!! woohoo!! you're nearly to 20!
and look! number 8! wow you are popular, aren't you? :P

muahaha! its elizabeth's aim to get at least 20 comments by the end of the year, so let's help her out!! woohoo!! comment number 11!! so people, what do you think of... communism? [it was the first thing that came to mind... what the?!]
Elizabeth, Elizabeth, i love you sooo much - you are so funny!! A few seconds ago i was depressed etc and now im laughing!nothing like your blog! btw i second your darcyism thingo i love him!!!
quoth the raven, "never more".
Edgar Allen Poe eats Darcy and Seth for Breakfast! And a WHOLE bowl of CornFlakes as well! How much more hard-kore can u get?
Answer: Very.
Mars is great big shiny star - unfortunately no green flashes from it's surface, so no martians comming to kill us. Awwwww!
aw damn, no martians for us. i wonder if you could keep them as pets?
wow, look, after this comment you'll only have 5 comments to go to get to 20!! woohoo!!
Yay! Then it'll be four more after this! Speaking of Mars, yesterday there was this massively bright thing which couldn't possibly have been a star, and yet was not moving, so could not have been a plane/satelite/U.F.O...and meteorites are not shiny, so WHAT THE?
maybe it was a giant metal shoe NASA engineers put up there one blindingly-drunk night after a reasonably sucessful party? Or it could have been a planet, they're pretty bright at certain times of the year.
Or an U.H.O?
Unidentified Hovering Object.
2 more comments to go?
woooo!!! last comment!!!! YOU HAVE 20 COMMENTS ELIZABETH!!!! your goal was completed on sunday november 6th, 2005 at 4:31 australian central time [??] on daylight saving. yay!!
Yay! At last I have achieved my ultimate goal! (well, this will put it at 21, but it doesn't count) Woohoo!
We thought it might have been Mars but it was BIG, as in beyond comprehension of normal twinkly things big, so confusion continues to ensue...maybe it was a space lighthouse to alert the passing martians to unexpected space boulders...
