Which is better? Ninjas or pirates?

Oh yes. This is a question i’ve been wondering about for a while. Yes, theres a big hype about ninja’s and pirates among the youth today. Wow i feel old saying that.

Pirate – the definition:

1. robber at sea: a robber who operates from a ship on the sea
2. ship used by sea robbers: a ship used by people who rob or otherwise attack shipping on the high seas
3. somebody using copyright material without permission: somebody who duplicates or uses copyright or patented material illegally or without authorization
4. somebody involved in illegal broadcasting: somebody who takes part in or manages the unauthorized or illegal broadcasting of TV or radio programmes

So, pirates seem pretty negative. I wonder why kids find them so cool? Maybe its because of films such as POTC, etc. portraying them as funny and pretty harmless, and ultimately fighting for the good of others – but more likely themselves.

Piracy has been the death of many many people. It just makes me wonder. Why do people think they’re so cool? One of the only reasons i could think of is that they are a symbol to people to defy the normal.

Now ninja’s are an easier one to work out why people like them so much.

mercenary in feudal Japan: a member of a group of mercenaries in feudal Japan who were trained in stealth and the martial arts and employed as spies, saboteurs, or assassins

So, ninja’s are pretty cool. But from that, we can see that they were nothing better than hired mercenaries, although their level of skill was extraordinary. Also shows such as TMNT show them as pretty harmless – but also a force to be reckoned with.

I think, that neither are particularly awesome, and the dictionary definition kind of speaks for itself seens as its almost midnight and i really cant be bothered to get epic here :*

Big brother. wtf?

This year i promised myself i wouldnt watch it.

I was like, no. NO BIG BROTHER DX and im watching it. Right now. They’re all cross dressing. Its really quite funny. Its all just a laugh. But its not that funny. I mean the cross dressing is, shurr, but most of the house are fools.

What is the point in this show? I mean if you watch the live stream, then its just day to day stuff, and most of its birdsong anyway. It just a stupid show. Why do you want to see stuff you’ve spent the day doing yourself? the only funny things are random rants by the housemates that think their clever and politically correct. I swear, half of the people have a game plan, and pretend that they dont. Its just stupid. And the ads imbetween are boring as well, but they’re better than the actual show.

It makes you wonder how bored people must be to actually watch this show :*

I love the fact that this year, everyone is so paranoid. I remember for a task;

“I think this picnic is going to be taken out of the shopping budget.” says Dennis.

“Really?” Rachel says.

“Yeah.” Dennis points out

“Big brother would like to point out that this is in fact, just a picnic.” Big brother tells only us.

I think i probably wet myself when i heard this statement. I was like ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL *infinite rofl* It was such a paranoid thing to say. Big brother are sneaky, but not that sneaky. My mum too, she says she doesn’t watch it, but whenever its on in our room, she stops and watches it. Then my dad has a rant about how crap big brother is, and then im just like, get a life dad *watches more big brother*. Yes, im a hypocrite. I remember pointing out to a friend how awfully stupid the show actually was, but then later went home and watched it.

People watching this show religiously make me sad. When its on TV and i have nothing better to do, i may occasionally watch it if im kind of bored. But i mean, some of the people on this show are truly desperate. As in, Alexandra. She’s so darn confrontational, i mean, woman, people do what they want, leave them be, woman. DX. There are things that people do that she can’t control, and i pretty sure she resents that.

The rest of the housemates are boring. Its such a stupid show anyway.

Did i tell you im a hypocrite?

The most exciting thing to happen to me in a week.

Yes. I have had a very exciting week *rolls eyes*. Last Monday, i went to rounders practice. As it turned out, i had been kicked out of the team. I was quite annoyed, seens as i’ve been to every practice, and the people who replaced us had been to no practices before, Miss D had decided that because in house rounders, they were an awesome addition to the team. I somehow managed to voice my opinion, because i had decided that i was going to be more confident. And she was like “blah blah its a good point Auraya but their still on the team blah blah” I like her, but i resent her for the fact that well, i was kicked out of the team for a couple of Chavs. Yes, im being stereotypical.

The next day there was a rounders match and i played as a reserve. Turns out the team we were playing didn’t have enough players, so i decided i’d play for them. The team i was playing for lost by about 9 zillion rounders etc. It was unbelievably boring and i got unbelievably bored with the person playing second base. It was quite ridiculous, she missed the ball about ninety times, and i was getting frustrated. It was really pathetic.

Wednesday was an… uneventful day. Did i mention i had no lessons that week i had no lessons? We did this multi activity thing. BORING. BUT~ the third activity was really awesome. We had the most awesome laugh ever. We were making films, and guess which teacher turned up to supervise? One of the history teachers who is incredibly hot. I want him (: – we made the FUNNIEST film ever. It was pretty crazy. We were meant to be warning people about the dangers of internet pedophilia. Yes, it was classic. Im not going to go into it because you would be like, wth? Thats meant to be funny? It was classic, ok? Take my word for it. So anyway, my hot history teacher actually almost collapsed laughing at it (: so i was happy. lol. OK. anyway.. Next day.

I’d been nervous about today for a few weeks now. It was the triathlon. DUN DUN DUN! Well, anyway, you could either do it on your own, or as part of a team. I decided to do it on my own. Only four other girls in the year did it on their own, so i was like DX. I knew one of them wouldn’t be able to do it, so i was glad i knew i wouldn’t come last. So we started at the pool. I was the second out of the pool, and the third to actually get up to my bike. It took me a while to find my bike and put my helmet on because i was tired after the swim. I heard people shouting ‘GO AURAYA! WOOH!’ I was really happy. I almost twisted my ankle running out of the biking area. So there was three laps = 3k. It was tiring. Then we got to the running; running is the one im good at. I sprinted the 800m and finished in 25mins 37seconds, which beat about 50% of the boys that did it. I was quite proud as i hadn’t even done any training. Altogether it was like four kilometres, which is quite pathetic. I can run that in fifteen minutes :* When the results came out, i had come fourth. By less than 30seconds, i dont know the actual time of the third place winner, but it was 25minutes something. I was so peeved :*. And then.. It was the teachers turn. My history teacher was so hot. He’s ex-navy and came first. I managed to get a sneaky picture of him :P . I dont stalk this guy or anything. -shifty eyes-. Anyway, so he like did everything -zoom zoom- kind of way. I was like *woah*, haa. It was pretty classic.

Friday. Well, i found out that my crush fancied my best friend the worst way. She told me. And, i helped bring them together *cry much*. So i consoled myself by kissing some random guy who was way out of it. He’s in my tutor as well. Luckily he didn’t remember. I felt a bit sleezy for taking advantage of him when he was drunk, but i didn’t care at that point. I was very lonely. My best friend, also slept round my house. Now this guy was her first kiss, but we couldn’t talk because me and my sister share a room. We watched a few movies, and the guy asked her out. She didn’t tell me, i found out from him on msn. I was really annoyed. DX

Saturday & Sunday were uneventful, frankly. Monday was back to normal lessons and it was boring.

Today~ eww. I have Tonsillitis. I’ve sat in bed all day and got bored, so i finally got round to making this blog (:
