Photo Gallery - Updated 06/07/2011
Hey, do you mind posting the new photos in the same posts where you say "updated with ___"? My computer can't handle loading all the pictures that are found on the first page, but I'd really like to see your photos. It's just that every time I do, none of the pictures load properly for me because there are so many, and my computer has a melt down.

Thanks guys! I didn't even realise that Photoshop had the ability to stitch photos together. I wish I knew what else Photoshop can do! Research time.. :D

What movie(s) did you last see?
Kick-Ass. I read the comic before the movie and I'm quite satisfied with this movie, except for one major change in the plot. Overall, it was a very good interpretation of the comic and is much better than other attempts to turn a book or comic into a movie. [hide=Spoiler]I didn't like how they changed the movie so that Kick-Ass ended up with Katie. It was quite cute, but cliche.[/hide] I think that the actor who played Hit Girl did a really good job.

Please dont be talking about Red Delicious, please dont be talking about Red Delicious. Red Delicious is the worst [bleep]ing apple ever, actually, it's not even an apple. Oh god, the tasteless and bland horror. Hopefully you were talking about Fuji or Gala apples. I just realised that those are the only types of apples my mum buys, other than granny smith. nom nom.

Today...
Who was it?! I had a dream that there were polar bears knocking on my window and I was being chased by a vampire who would turn me into a Na'vi if he was able to bite me. Ha, it's funny you say that, cos it was Dreamtongirl. She was really bad, but she kept getting wickets. HAHA. What a joke. Dreamtongirl playing sports?! This is me trying to play cricket several years ago. My facials nor skills have not changed. I assure you, it can't have been me. "I look shocked in the picture" I was skeptical, but now I'm a believer. Today was my mum's birthday, so instead of hanging out with Dreamtongirl and Jess, I had some cake with the WHANAU.

Do you mean download or download? Either

What programs do you guys use to create panoramas? I have lost the CD that came with my camera and I can't find a program that will stitch my photos together. Hopefully you guys can recommend something that I can download?

Yes. My whole family loves it, except for my dad. To be honest, I don't mind the smell. It doesn't even smell 'bad' to me, never did. It doesn't taste like it smells though. It's a bit of an odd taste if you've never tried it, but it's sweet (if you find a nice ripe one), with a creamy texture. What about "stinky tofu"? Or "Mala" dishes Stinky tofu is definitely stinky - it smells like a sewage system imo. Tried it for the first time last month. It doesn't taste stinky though, it just tastes like plain tofu that's been deep fried. No idea what you mean by 'mala' dishes. Extra spicy stuff? When I said 'doesn't smell bad to me' I was just referring to the durian, it's not like my nose can't detect smelly stuff. Edit: Also, I love beans. I have a garden and we've been growing green beans. NOM NOM BEANS FOR DINNER! I love having a garden, hopefully I'll be able to have a garden when I'm older. Also, my lemon tree has gone haywire. About a month ago it was almost dying and was barely producing any lemons. Now it's grown so many lemons that the whole tree is kind of tipping towards the ground.

Lyrics
Not a bad song. :) Here's my take on it: (corrections in bold) Distant sound rallied their troops tonight, but you don't listen, you don't listen Creatures crawl out of your yard but you don't listen, you don't listen Dogs are barking at your door, but you don't listen, but you don't listen Tearing to shreds clothes that you wore, but you don't listen, but you don't listen Fog is settling 'round your house tonight, but you don't listen, you don't listen Silent lightning shines so bright, but you don't listen, you don't listen When hawks come crashing through your window, you might listen, you just might listen! Spitting fire on all that you own, you might listen, you just might listen! Still it's a sweet night, for mademoiselle and I :thumbup: Your hand is holding mine and we shake off the tremors :thumbup: Lay down your head a while, come on show me that smile, :thumbup: It was such a good city for dreamers :thumbup:

Haha, you cut out your core out weirdly. You slice off a whole lotta stuff you could've eaten! And I made the apple slices with peanut butter before you posted that. ...with smooth peanut butter. OH GOD DON'T HURT ME. It was pretty good, but apples are tasty without peanut butter. Plus, you're making a healthy snack into an unhealthy one!

I was wondering if it was just something my family did. My grandma put peanut butter on everything. For the apples, get some chunky peanut butter and some good red apples, and it's like a spoonful just on top after you slice it. I'm not explaining this well. You cut the apple into four pieces, and normally from here you would eat it. Remove the core stuff. Then you take a knife and put about a hefty spoonful sized hunk of peanut butter on the top of each apple slice, where the core stuff used to be. To help you out, everybody in these pics did it wrong. It has to have a flat bit where the core used to be so you can put the peanut butter on it. Next time I think of it I'll take a picture. Like that?

I'm happy with some results, annoyed with others so it evens out and I'm feeling 'meh'. Here's all my results if you're interested.. [hide] Accounting: Concepts - E Processes - E Financial statements - E Analyse and interpret - A Biology: Ecology - E Genetics - M Cells - A Chemistry: Structure and bonding - E Organic chemistry - M Thermochemistry - E Redox - E English: (My worst subject, surpised I passed because I forgot topic numbers for almost all papers) Extended - M Short written - M Visual - E Unfamiliar - A Maths: Algebra - M Graphs - E Calculus - E Coordinate geometry - E Geometric sequences - E Trigonometric equations - E Physics: Waves - M Mechanics - M Radioactivity - M Electricity - M [/hide] tl;dr 12/25 papers were awarded with E (48%) 9/25 papers were awarded with M (36%) 3/25 papers were awarded with A (12%) I'm disappointed about Physics and Biology the most, which were my best subjects of the year.

There are 4 grades for NCEA. E = Excellence M = Merit A = Achieved NA = Not achieved Excellence is the equivalent of A+ (I think), the best grade you ca get Merit is BETTER THAN PASSING, but not as awesome Excellence. In fact, Merit = disappointing for me. Achieved is passing. Not achieved is not passing. With each paper you sit, you can obtain 'credits'. Basically a number that is assigned to the paper(e.g 3 or 4). I have no idea how they calculate that number, but think of it as accumulating points in a game. If you passed a paper with Excellence, those points are 'Excellence credits'. Accumulate 50 Excellence credits and you get your year endorsed with Excellence.

Oh jesus [bleep]ing christ, they're up now? My heart is beating so fast. I HATE YOU. NCEA Level 2 with Excellence, but I did worse than expected in some subjects and better than expected in others. [bleep] my life, all merits for physics (which I got all excellence in throughout the year), biology with E, M, A even though I got all E for that all year too and.. the rest were as expected if not better than expected (english). [bleep] you science!

I just made some soup. It was supposed to be making Chicken Noodle soup with alphabet pasta replacing the noodles, but I got carried away and basically turned it into .. Chicken .. vegetable soup. Is there such a thing? Probably. It's pretty good.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I haven't switched yet, it didn't make me, and there's supposedly a button to switch back. I think you probably clicked something by accident. Or they're doing a wierd things where they change people automatically by where they live, which is annoying. I got on today and at the top of the screen it said that in a few days it would be switching me <_< I've avoided anything that had the words "new profile" on it like the plague, so I didn't click on anything. Really [bleep]ing annoying. I got that too, just then. I'm sure everyone will get used to the new profile after a while. No big deal.
