I’m a geek, but I only eat Chicken Teriyaki sushi, and I don’t like anime, comic books, Star Wars or Star Trek.

I don’t like fantasy or Japanese RPGs, so I’ve never seen Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, and I’ve never played Final Fantasy or any MMORPG. I don’t mind the odd western RPG though. On the other hand, some think I’m crazy because I never play First Person Shooters.

I do however have a PSP and a PS2 (and a retired PS1). Mum has a Wii but I never play it (I only used it for Mario Galaxy.) No one else plays it anymore, it collects dust. I don’t have any of the other “current generation” systems, but that is not due to financial issues. I wouldn’t mind owning a PS3 one day.

I use RSS client on my computer, this is because I don’t feel that web readers such as Google Reader are powerful enough to handle my bloated set of feeds. I only use VLC because Windows Media Player and Quicktime never work. I do however love iTunes because of the way it manages my music library.

I absolutely hate websites made in Flash. Flash should only be used to play videos, music or games on. Another web peeve is websites that play sound and video automatically. I don’t want to hear your crappy alternative taste of music blasting over my speakers. It’s going to make me never come back to your website again.

When it comes to operating systems: I use Windows Vista and I kinda love it. I would love to move over to Mac OS X because I am sure I will love it too. Linux is okay (my favourite distro would probably be Ubuntu) but I’m not using it on any computer right now. And I know Windows Vista works just fine, better than XP actually.

I’ve never use social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo ect. I do have accounts there but I will not use them. There’s nothing on those communities I miss.

The vast majority of my music collection is from 2004 onwards (although the majority of it is my sisters.) I am currently in the process of discovering my own taste and trying to obtain albums that I fancy. I try to stay away from the shuffle mode, I prefer to listen to full albums at once (the way it was intended.)

I don’t feel the need to risk my life to conquer challenges such as climbing mountains, falling out of planes or jumping from high places. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. In fact, I wouldn’t get any enjoyment or satisfaction out of them. To be honest, I’d be scared shitless.

I am a night person. I prefer to be awake late and sleeping early in the morning. Although in saying that, I do like sleeping on a schedule, going to sleep around the same time, and waking up around the same time too.

I never wear jeans. I’m always more comfortable in other pants. I also rarely wear short-sleeved shirts, even in the summer, because I never get cold (and I’m not that keen on showing skin).

I didn’t get a cellphone till 2005, and used it primarily for text messaging. I got a second cellphone in 2006. Both of these phones went into retirement in 2007 and I don’t miss having one at all. I may think about getting a feature-rich cellphone in 2010.

Less than twelve hours till I will be back at school for the final term this year. This is the term that counts, study study study study! It is the build up towards the exams in 6 weeks. These exams will help determine the rest of our lives, fail you’re screwed, pass, you have the opportunity to move on and do better things. This year, I don’t want to screw this up like last year (not that I screwed up as such, I just could have put in a bit more effort to get the grades I should be aiming for.)

The absence of posts the past week have been for various reasons. First was when I realized I only had 5 days left of my break, I though I better use them productively and not leave things left undone when I start back. The second reason is because a mean person (yes, you know who you are) said that no one reads this so there is no point of me doing it. If you agree with this and you don’t read my blog and you think I should stop, feel free to comment I really wanted to continue my posting streak since last month I posted everyday for that month. This month I initially had a partner but he failed miserably on the first day which later caused me to become lazy and decide not to continue. Dam you Peppery!

The first week on my holiday consisted of surfing the internet, talking on IRC and watching the premieres of the fall shows. My intentions were to say a little bit about the shows I watched in a post but I got lazy and the shows banked up. It is really hard to watch 23 TV shows a week on top of all the video podcasts and audio podcasts aswell. That is basically what I have been doing the past five days, minimizing the queue of stuff to watch before I get back to school where they will most likely start to queue up due to the lack of time. I hope I can still say a quick few words on the TV series I have watched the premieres on but I will either procrastinate further, up to the point where it won’t be done, or I will end up writing it at school, which I doubt greatly.

Anyway, that basically sums up my two weeks break. I wish I had one more week, just one more week. I think that next week and the following weeks, right up until exams, my mind is going to implode under all the things I have to do. So much pressure to watch and do so many things, oh and also study on top of that. I guess I will just take it easy and see how it goes. On another note, don’t expect a blog post again! Leave yum9me ALONE! He’s not well right now. You’re lucky he even wrote for you bastards! Hehe
