Juno @ MindSay 
Welcome one and all to the show, we're wired up,fired up and we're ready to go - as in the words of the talented Michael Kenji Shinoda.
I've somehow managed to piece my blog together and I'm fairly proud of it since it is palpably decent-esque. Got some freebies in the "bookmarks" bit, so feel free to entertain yourselves if you find I'm ranting on too much. I just threw out some random topics of interest into the forum, waiting for someone to get the ball rolling. I don't wanna act like I'm pluggin it - and even that sounds like a plug - but all the art you see on this page, all 100% homemade by yours truly. (If you look at my profile, you'll notice 'digital graphics editing' as one of my hobbies-I have sneaky feeling that I just coined a new term right there.) I will be adding a Photo Album soon, which will showcase my amateur artistic attempts and other photos, so keep an eye out for that.
Just returned from my birthplace, glorious Singapore, to Hyderabad where I am now schooling. Had a blast on my sunny island 'course. I transformed into a cinema addict before the eyes of the world, caught up on movies such as
Juno(Jason Reitman kicks ass),
27 Dresses (which was bordering on mediocre),
Jumper(which was a complete and utter waste of my time and money),
Cloverfield (I regurgitated my sweet n salt popcorn all over the poor epileptic teenager seated in front of me, and OH YEAH it was a complete and utter waste of my time and money) and of course
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, my latest muse which I watched 3 times :D (thank god for insane barbers which somehow keep us sane).
Was in Dubai for a while too, and people, if you know China as 'The Waking Dragon' and India as 'The Reigning Maharaja', Dubai would probably be 'The Rising Camel' or something 'cos i have never known a desert bursting with more life. The nomadic equivalent of a rollercoaster in Dubai would be the Desert Safari. Do not underestimated those silken undulating dunes and the charming driver of your jeep. Definitely not for the faint of heart. The Emiratis are such warm people, down to earth but extremely savvy. They are at the top of their game, truly.
It feels great though to be back in ISH especially since there are more people. Personally, a classroom of 11-12 people is what I call mentally stifling, simply because the more people, the easier the flow and circulation of ideas. And now there're 21, yes you heard me, 21 students in our grade. Maybe its because I'm used to my having nearly 30-40 people in a class. (that's what's considered a healthy class size in Singapore 
)
I have great memories of Vysh's Birthday party on Saturday (Happy Birthday again if you happen to read this, which I highly doubt 
). Had lotsa fun, although at the expense of the peace of mind of fellow Fusion9 diners.(We're a rowdy lot) Met Vysh's grandmother after the party,a sweet a gracious individual whom I had the privilege of being acquainted with, along with the rest of her family. I got back home and promptly hung the party glowband on my wall. (I latch on to memories like a basket case for those who don't know)
And all Sweeney lovers out there, be sure to check out the poll of the month. And in honour of the occasion, I have here an impeccably done tribute to Sweeney Todd - ALL CRED TO WAYTINO who indirectly introduced me to the infectious magic of Yann Tiersen. This tribute is very aptly named "Revenge"
<<<randomness:(this means the following paragraph[s] are just some of my random musings that I jot down when inspired)
"He left the bistro, shuffling down the street with the look of a broken heart bleeding all over the place. She'd been unfaithful, he'd been unwavering.
And on this oh so gray
Valentine's Day,
He swiped the roses
from the blistered hands of a pedlar
handed the man a 50,
just enough for a pinch of weed,
and as if the beauties were gritty,
he threw them into the dump,
then woefully he said,
'Love is a place where all is rosy red,
and salvation is dead'
'Even pedlars should not sink to the level of promoting love'
The pedlar was left puzzled but content with his easy money.
And he sank deeper into the suffocating trench of heartbreak...
:randomness>>>
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd,
His skin was pale and his eye was odd,
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
Who never thereafter were heard of again
He trod the path that few have trod,
Did Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
Sorry, couldn't resist the urge to put that in, heehee :D
P.S. Be sure to give a shout(angry or intoxicated, I won't mind) at my tagboard before you leave.
Emily Prigge, 23, from Lake City Minnesota, was dammed if she did and dammed if she didn’t. Prigge, an unmarried and recently pregnant fifth grade teacher, informed her employer St. Felix Catholic School, that she was pregnant. The school responded by asking Prigge to resign from her position because when hired she signed a, “…Catholic Christian Witness Statement where she agreed to be a good example as a Christian in her personal and academic life.” The school argued that Prigge’s actions were in direct violation of the Catholic Christian Witness Statement. On the other hand, St. Fleix could have easily spun Prigge’s situation by denouncing premarital sex while endorsing their Pro-Life position.
As a private institution, do you feel the schools actions were correct? Or do you believe that in keeping with the schools core values and beliefs they must also adhere to modern laws, policies, and real life situations?

I haven't posted a blog for like 3 million years or something and i was just sitting in my room and thought ! I no i'll post a blog and tell a load of strangers about my life! (that's assuming anyone fuckin reads it).
I went to france it was gooooood......... J'adore paris!, for all you none french speaking people out there it means I love Paris :D. I can't be botheredto write everthing that happened cos we did loads, or, it's the fact that im a lazy sod. Either way in short, I went to a food market (crap, waste of money), a chocolate factory (okish, but lasted about 10 mins waste of money) and to the Stade de France(good got our moneys worth i would recommend it). So, that sums up my trip to France.
It's half term now and Liz is in austria on a school skiing trip. Carla is ill. I haven't really seen any mates because on saturday my mum decided to take me and my idiot of a little brother to see a film. We saw Juno it was well funny. Monday we went to the cinema again and saw Cloverfield (crap). (I no the cinema twice in a week how sad!) Tomorrow we are going bowling with the rest of the motley crew (family) and friday i'm going to town with ffion sharl and lia and some other people but i don't know who.
Skins 2!!!!!!! I was chuffed as hell lol and nick hoult is on friday night with jonathan ross on friday.
I bought a russell brand dvd off amazon and spent this afternoon sitting in the house watching it and laughing (cos i'm cooooool) :D
Not long till spain now i'm well excited but right now my fingers ache from typing and i've run out of things to say. So i may just mooch round the house with a beer like a pathetico person and watch waterloo road.
au revoir...
