masquerade; paper faces on parade

The prelim Litho DRQ was about earthquake-prone Samoa, and I remember thinking there were few case studies for this location.

Then 32 minutes ago came.
Still giddy.

6:51 PM

And I'd hate to burst your bubble,
but I've decided that long ago.

12:15 AM

What do you take me for, stupid?!

"Memento Mori"

5:32 PM

Stay
因为夜太美；
寂寞的月亮需要星星陪。

I can't believe Christopher Lee doesn't know the lyrics to this song. XD

5:19 PM

Numbered is what I have.
Numbered is (sometimes) what I want.
Numbered is not good for you.

Numbered will make you all cry.

4:55 PM

"How does one lose the will to live?"

Well...I don't know how to explain...
It kinda just...disappears...

I've found the secret to remembering thalwegs and the river meandering process:

Formula One cars turning the bend XD

9:41 PM

Is quite calming sometimes actually.

3:43 PM

Yeah, Life in a loop-playing MV...

3:42 PM

Iago does not die in the end. (The end.)
And I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

Aleina. Please.

We're in public.

You can't just pop out like that.

JANE RESIDENCE, MALIBU
8 YEARS EARLIER

Funny how the brain links memories and the present, fact and the fiction together huh.

And I regret how I cannot publish this.
I guess I should lock it up on Livejournal.

Like I have one.

11:41 PM

Bad ------> Worse

11:25 PM

Not then, not now, not at all.

11:21 PM

Oh, it's so obvious how you feel about (th)us.

Wholesome Fresh Fucking Anger.
(That is how you use the word. Not for pineapples.)

Tastes so good.
But I have to put away my toys (for) now.

Hahahaha.
She's gotta love nobody.

11:03 PM

But this empty bedroom won't make anything right.

7:41 PM

I know it doesn't seem so fair...
But I'll send you a postcard when I get there.

7:40 PM

If I am lost for a day, try to find me.
But if I don't come back then I...won't look behind me.

7:39 PM

While out on the landing, a friend I forgot to send home...
Who waits up for me all through the night.

7:38 PM

But I can't live forever;
I can't always be.

7:37 PM

All of the things that I thought were so easy;
Just go harder and harder each day.

Your Superhero Name is The Speed Centurion

Your Superpower is Vampirism
Your Weakness is Itching
Your Weapon is Your Magnetic Pitchfork
Your Mode of Transportation is Segway

What's Your Superhero Name?

Ooh, I like this one.

All of the things that I thought were so easy...
Just got harder and harder each day.

But I can't live forever, I can't always be;
One day I'll be sand on a beach by a sea.
The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross;
And I'll laugh about all that we've lost.

I dreamed I was dying, as I so often do;
And when I awoke I was sure it was true.
I ran to the window, threw my head to the sky;
And said whoever is up there, please don't let me ~~die~~ cry.

I'm calendar girl, I'm in love with the world.

December is darkest, and June is the light;
but this empty bedroom won't make anything right.

I'm calendar girl, I'm lost to the world.

If I am lost for a day, try to find me;
But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me.

While out on the landing, a friend I forgot to send home;
Who waits up for me all through the night...

January, February, March, April, May, I'm alive;
June, July, August, September, October, I'm alive;
November, December, yeah all through the winter, I'm alive;
I'm alive.

You are "Let It Be"

You are philosophical, balanced, and wise. You try not to worry about things you can't change.

You can let go and find peace in troubling times. You believe in controlling what's on the inside.

You know that you can't create or predict the future. You just have to let it unfold.

The answer will eventually come to you. All you have to do is wait.

What Beatles Song Are You?

Wow.

"Let it be." - The Beatles
Discuss. [50m]

Used in college essay:
"Long separated by cruel fate, the star crossed lovers raced across a grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph."

I hated those kind of Math questions.
Today I learnt a whole new use for them.

How does one who lives for another world live in this one?

10:19 PM

How can one hear things that are not there when they are there?

10:18 PM

How do you describe a colour?

10:17 PM

"Hello, are you a Christian?"
"No, I'm an atheist, thank you very much."
"You poor, sad soul."
"Funny, that's how I see you too."

Mirrors aren't always made of glass.

You Are Destined to Rule the World

You have the makings of a very evil dictator...
Which is both kind of cool and kind of scary!

Will you rule the world? Maybe. Maybe not.
But at least you know that you could.

Are You Destined For World Domination?

Well.
Now let's see what you get. XD

6:24 PM

You Are a Winter Person

You are calm, serious, and focused.
You're the type of person who appreciates the quiet and calm.
Winter is the perfect time for you to get cozy and work on a hobby.
Summer is a bit too hectic for you. You like the dead of winter... preferably with a roaring fire inside.

Are You a Winter Person or a Summer Person?

Um, focused?

6:20 PM

XXX is Narcissistic

XXX thinks they're the most important person in the world and couldn't care less about anyone else. XXX definitely has a god complex.

People with narcissistic personality disorder want total power, lack empathy, and are very arrogant.

Sound at all familiar?

Oh yeah, definitely.

5:21 PM

You Should Rule Saturn

Saturn is a mysterious planet that can rarely be seen with the naked eye.
You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow the rules of nature.
And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone must delve beyond your appearance.

You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you'll be a friend for life.
You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has passed.

What Planet Should You Rule?

"...for how could she be deceived unless she existed in order to be deceived?"

Well.

4:55 PM

Be.

If Sleep fought with his half-brother Death, who would win?

If Sleep lost and died, and Death lived, is Sleep only sleeping?
If Death lost and died, and Sleep lived, is Sleep only sleeping?

If only Sleep slept and Death died.

You Are a Night Person

For you, there's nothing worse than having to get up and moving early.
In fact, you probably don't hit your peak until well after the sun has set.
So if your struggling to make it on a normal schedule, realize it's not your fault.
You just weren't meant to do anything during the day!

Are You a Morning Person or Night Person?

I like the last sentence.

*mutters something about ensuring post is two lines or more*
"Whatever."
"Yup, that's a two-liner."
"Now it's a three-liner. This is all your fault."
*mutters something about yet-to-be-justified-my-fault*

This is a five-liner breaking (my blog's) records and getting out of control.

6:43 PM

You Are Blackmail

You are a good detective. You have dirt on everyone you know.

And instead of gossiping, you sit on information that may be useful to you someday.

You love power games. Especially if (and pretty much only if) you have the upper hand.

You are brilliant and calculating. No one knows what you have in store!

What Felony Are You?
