Manifestations of Hallucination

Well, It's too late and I am too tired to do my summary of Melbourne now. I just wanted to put something up here so I could say hi. And so I could use that title for a blog entry, coz I have another title that applies for the Melbourne trip.

Well, I guess I need to give some kind of incentive to read and comment here. Umm, so, who wants points? Ok, the first 5 people to comment get points. The number of points will be determined by the order, the name used when posting, the length of comments (although, longer may not be better) and some other random criteria. I'll let you know how I determined the points afterwards. Ok, have fun everyone!

No one has really given out points this month. It'll be good to finally have some significant points to add to my tally.

I believe that I might be the first person! Yayness. It all depend on how lazy snaps is today. If she's on the ball, then I might just be too late. Oh well! I don't post comments just for points.. I post them cause I like to talk =D hehe

I was supposed to be going skydiving on Saturday but I was almost at 8,000 feet and it got too windy and we had to go back down =( But don't stress! I'll fly yet!

P.S. If you think I'm going to change my name in order to get more points.. You're wrong.. I could never change me!

I'm going to be a lazy bint and not even try much for points.

But, I am second, which means I must get SOMETHING!

It's funny what some people will do for points, and even funnier what some people think you will actually do for points.

For example, last wednesday at stute, Sophie dared me to get up and yell "A BUG, A BUG!!!" She said she would give me 100 points if I did it. I couldn't stop laughing after that, because I kept picturing people getting up and yelling it.

I hardly think humiliation is worth it. Points aren't that important.

I hope you're enjoying your moon cheese. Next time though, you should really put aside your stubbornness and take my rocket. Boats aren't an effective way of getting to the moon.

For someone that gets annoyed when people don't remember my name... I seem to change it an awful lot...

Ahhhh... Snaps is way way too slow...So... First is the winner, Second is just better. It always has been always will. Three is a magic number (it's white) so third will do me. I have given many people points recently, its just people don't take notice, or care, or something.

Ahem, and it's not about points, or even about humiliation. Its about attention and amusement. Its an excuse to do something to be
1. Brave
2. Acknowledged and
3. Funny.
Don't worry, there are 7 more reasons, but those three are the main ones (magic number)

Points are extremely important, it's a way to let people know you appreciate what they've done. It's also highly amusing, and we all know how important it is to be amused... =P

Oh yeah... Dallin's blog... what was it about again? Well... it's pretty exciting that the time it was posted keeps changing... I think... You may be right, I may be crazy, But I'm pretty sure it said 11.11pm a little while ago... and that is cool! I love 11.11! I used to be number 11 when I played for Torrens Valley Cougars. Hey! The Opals won! I'm not completely sure what it was they won... but good on them! I’d vote for them any day, even on Tuesday! Even if their names were all Steve!

Ok… I had more… but that will do for now, there’s a whole thing about ducks and swans, but… yeah.
 haha... box! No wait! Squarah!

hmmm....maybe I should have realised that I don't have 5 friends who would post comments. Oh well. I guess I can post 4th and earn myself a few points :P. Ok, I know, that isn't allowed. But I want to post a omment anyway, coz I can't do my Melbourne blog entry until I get my 5 comments here. Anyway, the weather was so nice today, I went outside with Dellin and sat on the trampoline for an hour or so, getting my stuff done. And there was a Lizard in the garden! And he came and breathed fire on my, and Tina got burned. Oh, wait no, I didn't take Tina out with me. She is almost out of batteries. Oh well. Anyway, someone else comment, so I can tell you how many points you get, and then I can tlak about my Melbourne trip (I keep going to say 'Sydney' instead of Melbourne...). Unfortunately, you three who have already commented don't count....

HA! You can't talk about not having friends post comments on your blog! :P There's also the annoying people that read your blog and then don't comment... JESS!

I had pizza for lunch. Just thought you all might like to know, although, if you were here you would know because I got sauce all over me and I smells like garlic... mmm... pretty... I'm also eating my staple remover. Good on me!

anonymous, how can you be given points when we don't know who you are. :P

If we all had to vote for who got the Most points.. I'd choose anonymous. Hehe. It's just such a cute entry. So simple and yet it gets the point across.

Wow. = | Do I not have a life! I read blogs and comment =S Oh well!

dallin i dont get ur points scheme. whats is it and how come i dont have any? :( :P

Liz - the points scheme isn't really anything of note. If someone does something cool, you award them with points. But there are no greater rewards than that. You don't get a Harrier Jet if you reach 1,000,000. You will get some soon.

Tamera - 40 points
Carolyn - 18 points
Sophie - 32 points
I think I'd have gotten 56.

It started with a base amount: 11 - the position of your comment (so 11-1 = 10) And then there were certain doubling criteria. Firstly using your real name. Tamera was credited with that, since she often goes by Timmy. Second, mentioning which position you were in. The three of you all did that. And finally, the longest post got doubled too. It was going to be the longest paragraph, but that would have been me, so I gave Sophie longest post. And, there you have it! I can finally finish my Melbourne blog entry and put that up, over a week after we got home, now that no one cares any more!
