First things first...
21/1/05
Shut up! I know I haven't updated in... holy cow, almost 2 months. But considering no one has a reason for visiting this site at the moment I have no problem with this. Lets see, I got a 91 in my TER and I'm enrolling at Curtin on Monday, that's the 24th. I have to go to a room, in a building, and be there by 10 in the morning. Lots had happened to me in... these 2 months. Like... heaps. Like. Wow. No one it seems like so much has happened. And I haven't drawn anything since, not a thing. I've got the general storyline and a few characters fleshed out for an online graphic novel, but don't get your hopes up. I have a problem of being unreliable to myself, sure to everyone else I'll do it. But when it comes down to Dael I couldn't care less.
But no more! I've changed so shall too my outlook on life. That's right. My name is now Mr. Harvey! There's a lot to rant on, but I don't have to. So I won't. Someone will read this in the future who isn't a family member and be interested in me. I'm thinking of doing a site overhaul, it's not bright enough for me. I think I'll try my hand at some php so I can do some funky bubble things. It's worth a try. Where'd my dad put that book... anyways, I'm available for comment, so if you want to get in touch, well. :D Good luck trying.
I have no idea what I'm talking about... I think all this unresponsibility is making me go funny. All this... what's the word. WAITING! Waiting for friends to come back to town, waiting for emails, waiting to go out, waiting to get off my creative locked down butt and start doing some anatomy studies. I've so much I want to do, not just for myself, but for the world and I can't. I've got to have patience. Lots of patience, just, incredible amounts of it. Luckily I have been stock piling! Boo-yah.
Well, I'm a uni boy now. A bachelor at that but there you go, these things are common. I don't think I've been getting enough hugs lately. I want to work! Arg. Man I'm frustrated. This is going nowhere. Enjoy these quizzes I did ages ago to fill in some blanks.
A quiz! Alleria forced me to take it!
What type of Bishounen are you? Find out at artificial-soul.net by Rin.And a personality profile test I took just for some fun. I came out as a ENFJ. Or more specifically I'm a moderate extrovert and intuitive personality with slightly expressed feeling and judgementalness. My personality type fits that of the Teacher Idealist. Or just... this!
The Idealists called Teachers are abstract in their thought and speech, cooperative in their style of achieving goals, and directive and extraverted in their interpersonal relations. Learning in the young has to be beckoned forth, teased out from its hiding place, or, as suggested by the word "education," it has to be "educed." by an individual with educative capabilities. Such a one is the eNFj, thus rightly called the educative mentor or Teacher for short. The Teacher is especially capable of educing or calling forth those inner potentials each learner possesses. Even as children the Teachers may attract a gathering of other children ready to follow their lead in play or work. And they lead without seeming to do so.
Teachers expect the very best of those around them, and this expectation, usually expressed as enthusiastic encouragement, motivates action in others and the desire to live up to their expectations. Teachers have the charming characteristic of taking for granted that their expectations will be met, their implicit commands obeyed, never doubting that people will want to do what they suggest. And, more often than not, people do, because this type has extraordinary charisma.
The Teachers are found in no more than 2 or 3 percent of the population. They like to have things settled and arranged. They prefer to plan both work and social engagements ahead of time and tend to be absolutely reliable in honoring these commitments. At the same time, Teachers are very much at home in complex situations which require the juggling of much data with little pre-planning. An experienced Teacher group leader can dream up, effortlessly, and almost endlessly, activities for groups to engage in, and stimulating roles for members of the group to play. In some Teachers, inspired by the responsiveness of their students or followers, this can amount to genius which other types find hard to emulate. Such ability to preside without planning reminds us somewhat of an Provider, but the latter acts more as a master of ceremonies than as a leader of groups. Providers are natural hosts and hostesses, making sure that each guest is well looked after at social gatherings, or that the right things are expressed on traditional occasions, such as weddings, funerals, graduations, and the like. In much the same way, Teachers value harmonious human relations about all else, can handle people with charm and concern, and are usually popular wherever they are. But Teachers are not so much social as educational leaders, interested primarily in the personal growth and development of others, and less in attending to their social needs.

It's nice to know I'm special and only in 2 to 3 percent of the worlds population. It's also good to know my personality type fits that of a teacher, seeing as that's my choosen profession. Yay. This test is more based in fact then the other one, which is good. In other news, I really need to get around to giving this site a really cool layout... Curses.
1 month of holidays left, I'm learning to drive. I'm going to apply for some new jobs when I get my uni time table. I'm going to make new friends. I'm going to make that OGN (online graphic novel). And most of all, I'm going to do it with a smile on my face.
-Sup Chups.
ps- I also wrote some poems/songs. I was just singing like normal and I was at my comp so I decided to write it down. Some fudged up stuff, I'll post it next update.
Can you say 3 months of holidays?
27/11/04
Oh me oh my, my exams are over! I've graduated! And my arm pits are hurting like no bodies business. That's a grumble about returning to the gym, luckily I didn't have to drop any of my weights. Yay. *waves flag of happiness* I've done some drawing, like half a filler activity from this tiny art forum community I've now joined. Darn. I know I can draw the next half of it but for some reason I just don't want to. Maybe cause then it will dawn on me just how much time I really have.
I've returned to Alleria after my short exam break, and they're reopening one of the Nations! Wooh! *waves flag of happiness*. So I'm starting up a new PC there, because I'm a paying companion and I can. And he's gonna be a winged elf, something non-subscribers can't do.
I guess I'll put this warning up, cause it's pertinent to my life.
~I am holidaying, I will be holidaying for the next 3 months, and unless I say I've done something and volunteer to tell you personally what it is of my own motivation. I will have done nothing at all interesting. I'll put my dull 3 months up here when I feel like it and you'll be able to see any creative things I've done that I care you show off. Understand? Good.~
Now that's sorted, how do I think my exams went? Well I've prepared a table! Well, not really.
History: A
Chemistry: A
English Literature: C
Drama Studies: B-A
Drama Studies Practical: B-A
Applicable Mathematics: C-B (I never really know)
Information Systems: A
So I'm looking at three A's and a B, or 4 A's. And I only need to pass English and Maths over all, which I have done, and I can use Drama as my forth mark in my TEE. Effectively I'm looking at the 90's for a TER. Which is good. That's in the top 90 percentile of the yr 12 graduates this year. I would have got 92 last year, I had a projected 95-96 this year. Wooh. *waves flag of happiness*
Well that's about it, 1 week till Skye visits, 1 more week of everyone on leavers. Not long till Christmas either. *waves flag of happiness*
-Don't be economic girly man!
Or not! Yogi yogi!
18/11/04
If only my webpage came with smilies! Oh, maybe it can? I'll add it to my list of things to do.
Well! I had my drama exam this afternoon, and I have Applicable Maths tomorrow and Skye visits on the 4th of next month AND Info Sys is on Tuesday. So I'm happy. Mostly in part to this flash movie. I just like it for some reason, and the music's snazzy too. Here's looking to a good TER.
I think that speaks world's about the movie. Really.
Things to look foward to? Well I should be getting lots of drawings done, and I'm thinking of creating one of my long term roleplay characters into an actual character, my Megatokyo art forum party threads and such. And maybe because I want to play around with creating a graphic novella with it, heck, I've got the storyline worked out for years now. May as well do something with it. I've been toying around with the universe and I think I've got a good idea of what I want. Provided I can get the character designs flowing. I can talk the talk, but can I walk the walk when it comes to committment to such a thing? Only time will tell! Either way, I'm gonna buy GTA: San Andreas. I've been wondering if I'm meant to call it GTA4. Weeeiiiiird.
NationStates update! I've created a second country, specifically for dealing with the UN. That means my current country, the one that was going to be based on ideals, is now free to be abused by my power hungry glove of iron. Yeah yeah, I head ya. Power does seem to corrupt!
So my first Nation is this one. And my second is this one. And this is the region I built. And those are the friends I've got there. ... the ones that, you know, are listed there. Tomorrow I hit 100 million citizens! I'm so happy for them. Freakish social structures that I've built.
Yogi yogi! ;p
Monthly Updatage?...
Date: 14/11/04
Looks like this is becoming a monthly thing, oh well, I'll learn to get into the swing of it when this becomes a bit more professional. I realize my site isn't so flash hot, but the weather is! So that's my excuse. Doesn't help that I'm in the (tin) roof, where all the hot air from the house moves to. The temperature today is 32 in the city, 34 tomorrow! And it's usually an extra 2 degrees more out where I live. So I'm thinking this roof will be a lovely 40 or so degrees tomorrow. Ah Australia, how beautiful ye be, but when it comes to summer, a winter boy I'd be.
Many things to talk about today, I've got a few article like things I'd like to write but they'll have to wait I think. One of social/cultural responsibility and another on the English language and why there should be new words like -ish, -age, and -ing. No more should they be suffixes! But words in their own rights. So expect those to pop up in the next month.
I have been doing the TEE! I've done two written exams and I'm happily confident that I'll recieve A's on those. Which means 75 +, but I'm looking at the 80s to 90s. The history exam was fine and dandy, considering I haven't done history for about 2 months now... and finished learning another month or two before that. My notes came in handy, after I'd already rewritten them and then stumbled upon my old ones. Lucky me, my rooms cleaner though, the mess has degenerated into a layer of paper.
Chemistry was easier than history, which bodes well cause history is my second highest mark scoring subject. It was saddening, excusing my over inflated ego for the moment, because it was easier than the mock. And I've had a cold ever since last Wednesday thanks to Miranda. Grrr to her. Doing exams with a cold is unfun. Most people would say exams are never fun, but I disagree! Exams are relaxing, and fun, and take your mind off everything. Unless Veronica is laughing at you. That just gets annoying, luckily I've only ever been in a few exams with her and I'll be in no more with her. I used to wander why she laughs at me, but she laughs at the obscurest things; and she only does it at the end of the exams. So kudos' to her for winning the insanity prize.
Speaking of prizes, at the Graduation Breakfast I was awarded a prize for Best Facial Hair! Yays, and it also mentions my ability to maintain a high level of hygiene; so I say HA to anyone who says I have a dirty beard because a group of 100 or so Yr 12's decided that I didn't. My work on the Quartania is finish too, so really my only commitment is to finish the TEE and then I'm home free. The rest of my life awaits! So the smart cookie I am I've decided to enter a little web competition for drawing a band. ... Yeah, I know. I'm thinking of a cyber punk theme, so we'll see where that goes.
I was gonna link a bunch of stuff I've been up to, but I can save that for another time; in the meantime I'm just going to chill. Maybe think about thinking about working on my art section.

Rantage mark I...
Date: 16/10/04
Okay okay, so it's been over a month since my last rant. And no my Beanie Babie Drama hasn't gone anywhere, but if you'd bothered reading my past posts you'd note that this is my final year of school and as such I've had to sacrifice certain things. Like playing computer games, or writing for Alleria, or reading, or watching movies, or studying for things other than Chem, or chatting with friends. So to catch you all up on the life of me I'll go through some stuff.
Firstly my Brother is nutso. Yes. Nutso. It's not even a real word, that's just how nutso he is. You see my dad's comp seemed to have picked up a virus, so the idiot has the nerve to ask me where he is. Now, why would I know. I mean, I know he NEVER knows anything, or even hears the phone ring. But I was out working for money today, something he won't have done until next year; when he's twenty one. A good 5 or so years after the age I was when I first worked for money. If he's so smart why can't he earn money and do other things as well? I can. It's not that hard. So he's asked me where my father is, and I'm complaining and doing the "blah blah blah" thing just cause he's been bugging me lately. I come upstairs to do some stuff on the net, and cause my dad's been playing music and lagging up the net I close some stuff on his comp; including the webcam. My brother goes off at me. Why? Cause he wants it to do the screensaver virus scan thing. And I go "Why not just tell it to scan?" He goes "Why'd you touch it." And so on and so forth. Then. He. Has. The. Nerve. To. Tell. Me. I. Know. Nothing. About. Computers. (Sorry about that...) The idiot who's only ever computer course was computer fundamentals, the course which is so easy a baby can do it. Whereas I do Information Systems, which is where we study computer systems, including their architecture among many other computer complex things.
Why does this piss me off? Well other than the fact everything he says about computers is almost always wrong, amongst everything else he says that is almost always wrong, but I'm getting an A+ in my class. Heck, I can not do the two end of year exams for it and sit on a high comfy B. The exams are worth 20% of the year! Not only do I know about computers, but I also know how to synthesize the materials necessary to build one. (Not an outrageous claim at all) So of course he went off to finish his stupid chores and I set the Virus Scan to thorough search, which is better than the normal search mode of the screen saver. Ergo, my brother is nutso AND stupider than a stupid rock.
Secondly I went to Simon's 18th Birthday party. Simon is a friend of mine. And whilst I was there Sammy, another friend, decided to get me and two other guys blind drunk just so she wouldn't look like the worst person there. Well, needless to say I'm more fun than Kyle and Andrew so she pretty much worked away at me for most of the night, I assume because she actually got them pretty drunk. And rather than drink that horrible concoction of Vodka and Orange Juice which I find horrible (Not just the Vodka, the orange juice was off all by itself) I kinda gave my drinks to other people and pretended to get drunker and drunker. Even though I was telling people of my evil plans nobody believed me in the end, except for Kyle and Daniel; but Daniel left around 1 in the morning. Eventually I ran out back to check on Dom, who was vomiting; and of course Sam mistook Dom's vomiting for mine. Bingo. Dael was blind drunk, fun whilst it lasted. Best part of it was I got to pretend to be drunk Dael, not much difference I'll assume. Cause I was being me mostly... people think I'm drinking something permanently anyway. And, talking about the best parts here, I got to see and remember how everyone else treated a drunk Dael. Rather nicely actually, even though I was jumping about and beating long time friend Matthew up with pillow whenever I saw him. Oh, and I didn't have a hangover; duh. Everyone else seemed to though, kept asking me how I felt. Although I didn't actually get to sleep until Monday night, and the Party was Sunday. I'd stayed awake for 34 hours, and I'd slept for 16 afterwards. Darn revision seminar.
Thirdly I have had TEE Revision Seminars for Chemistry all this past week. Thinking it was one seminar I'd wisely picked the middle of the day so I didn't miss out on the after noon all the morning. *Chuckling now* Oh how foolish I was. Couldn't get any other study done the first half of the week, and the second half of the week I could only just barely finish my Chemistry homework. Yep. The Seminars gave homework. 3-4 hours of Chemistry work a day. That's more than you do in an exam. And I've had to learn to speed work in Chem this past week. I'm looking forwards to that exam. Just not the English one... or the maths... or... any other. Okay. I like Exams. I won't lie to you. I want them over and done with. I'll kick arse in the TEE exams though. That's a personal promise. And 3 A's ain't bad? And no amount of practice will make me better at English, I just speak differently from normal people. And maths... well, I can get some practice in between now and the exam, and I can blitz the other exam. Study is needed... I cannot not study for maths. Lack of study = C. Not that I mind a C, but I want an A!
Right. What else? My room has gotten messier, if that's possible. I won't take a photo because that would involve opening the blinds. It would take me too long to get to the blinds. My mum unwisely tried to organize my mess into neat piles. Those piles kinda grew into mountains, you know, upwards and outwards. And then they sorta merged... I have like, a mini mountain range in my room now. Oh well, I'll clean it after exams. In which I will need to have a room in which I can breathe because Skye's visiting. *Does a dance*
Yep.
I've also joined Cartoon Govo... uh... I'll link it... here I guess. I'll probably do some sort of review of it in the future, once everything dies down. Well...
Peace!
Army people less crazy...
Date: 12/9/04
Hmm...
Oh, I can't be bothered explaining. It's been too many days. Rant over.
Nuh, okay. So I looked at the army reserves, seems interesting. Loud. Boom Boom. Okay pay considering they're training you and for the most part you get fit and stand around in the rain. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but really. It's all tax free and doesn't affect anything...don't go lecturing me about war either.
What else did I do? Mow the lawn, get some sunshine. The weather looks phenomenal this week. Did some work, did some study. Talked to people, played a game.
Terrorism...stupid.
Ummm... sleepy.
Finished my monologue...quite a while ago now...I'll put it up in a bit.
Gym people are crazy...
Date: 7/9/04
It's official, people who go to gyms are insane. That makes me one of them, I'm like, OWIE! I mean, sure, it's great to SEE good looking muscles and it's even better when you feel healthy. But still, I'm so tired now. And sweaty, ick. And my muscles are screaming. And I do this twice a week!! At least I'm pushing more and more weights though, ha ha! Be joyous. I think...two machines I've used up all the weights, I don't get time for other leg machines though, but if I did I'm willing to bet a lot I could do all the weights on them too.
Bleh.
I've done a bit on the Beanie Babie Drama Idea, got some plot lines ideas, characters and such. It's good to have free time. Even if there's not SO much of it as you'd like. Oh well. Not long till the TEE exams begin, I've got assessments coming up again for quite a few of my subjects, in the next 3 weeks. Which is about all there is left of this term. It wasn't quite so stormy today as other days, that should hold out till tomorrow, and be miserable again on Thursday. Cold, wet, and school. I start my applicable 1 month revision book in 2 weeks I think it is, I've finished my monologue working draft. So I can go through it with actions and stuff and see if I wanna change any of it, and I have a crazy English speech this week. So I've just got to do palm cards for that. And take in this mask thingy I made.
Too tired to keep blabbing, so hungry. Must go bug mother...
When the hell does school end...
Date: 4/9/04
Looks like I'm actually updating this fairly often. And I've got a good idea for what I can put up here; it's strange, it's wacky, it gives me an excuse to expand my collection. It is also very weird, more weird than most weird things you'll come across. Rather than a comic, which takes work and time. I will create, BEANIE BABY DRAMA, I'll give it a real name; that can be the subtitle. Basically, I'll use my Beanie Babies and create a sort of comic strip, except I'll be using my digital camera, pins, tape, and badly drawn backdrops. You know the things, that intensely popular craze in the late nineties with those oh so cute bear things. Well, I kinda caught up with it later, and I only have between 10 and 20 of em. So I've got enough for some pretty good story lines, I've just got to plan it. Stupid things like this keep me going...
Still listening to that playlist, if I weren't straight and there were another one of me, I'd kiss myself. But what else have I been up to? Umm...that IS a good question. Things have progressed slowly, very slowly. Slowest week this year maybe, excluding holidays. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, because it'd beginning to rebel. That means I'll trim my beard down. I may even clean up all my stuff! Then I'll have room to do stuff in general. Rather than look at how little space I have, which isn't much. I mean seriously, I can't even stand on my floor. Well, I CAN. In certain spots, and I can stand on my books, and papers and stuff. But when I'm reading over something and someone asks why there's a giant footprint on it, well; it gets a bit hard to explain. I have big feet, that's part of the explanation. In fact, I'll show you a picture of my floor. *Grabs camera*
Here is a picture of my floor.
Please excuse the lack of clothes everywhere, it was laundry day yesterday. So normally it'd probably be messier, and there is in fact even more stuff. That's one side of my bed for one, and I'm standing in the doorway, the mess goes pretty much to the door. And spills onto my chest of draws, my desk that's in that room. The cupboard, the draws. That bookcase you can see the bottom of runs up to the roof. Takes up one side of my room, 4 shelves of it are packed triple row with books. Two large sized shelves are stuffed with my soft toys, and the rest of them generally sit around my room strategically.
That's not even mentioning all the stuff under my bed, which I shove out of the way so I can't see it. And the large green desk in the loft which is 3/4 covered in more stuff.
I keep my mess to myself, so it's really only interfering with me. That's why I think I should clean it up.
Oh, and those are like. Half my shoes in the picture...I have a lot of shoes. I don't know why, well. Not so shoes, but footwear. Lots of it. A lazy weekend for me. My brother FINALLY got a job though, looks like his pickyness paid off. It pays very well for a graduate job. He'll be working for the government, something my family seems to do, it must be in our blood. I've got four years to beat his paycheck, I think it's quite do-able. Plus, I won't have hex. Oh yah. Gotta love that. Name one thing the government did for me? Desperately needed someone like me, yep. They need Chemistry and Computing teachers. And I'm getting those specifications. So lucky me. Maybe I'll even get to stay in the city, the way things are going. But four years is a long time, kinda. Hopefully. But not so hopefully. You know how it is.
Well, the good thing about him getting a job is that I may be able to take over his chores. And he gets paid $30 a fortnight for em, so I'd be getting $55 a fortnight, provided I could do em. Which I easily could. My parent's look like they want to weasel out and pay less, but I'll be damned if I let em. I demand equal pay for equal work. Sure, it's more to do; but I've always got too much free time.
Looks like leavers might be happening as well, no ones talked to me yet though; so I don't know if they'd want me along. Maybe, maybe not. I have been a bit grouchy later.
A long rant, and not about anything in particular. No wacky links...darn. I'll go do a quizilla quiz just so this page can be brightened up a bit.
...or not. That sites really gone down hill lately. Oh well.
Ciao.
