A Real Introduction

February 19, 2010

“All my favourite quotes are things I have said before.”

I decided to write a real introduction…

And then maybe ramble on about the past two lectures that I’ve attended.

I’m Cal, and 18-something student who really has no idea what she’s doing most of the time. Cal spends most of her time playing around with electronics, breaking said electronics and then furiously pounding them with her fist because she believes that the action will immediately alleviate the problem. Cal also has a bad sense of humour.

I spent the past two years studying for a Diploma in Business which I eventually received a Credit grade in as well as being granted TAFE Riverina Student of the Year for 2009. I’m very proud of this achievement and will disregard any comments that give the belief I should feel otherwise.

I write… alot. This is currently my fifth blog to date but is the second one I currently own. I’m not going to put a link up to my other blog because it’s personal and only special people (as well as some complete strangers) have the right to access it. But if you do happen to stumble upon it, why not exploit it and put it on your blogroll?

I also take alot of photographs. I’m camera crazy and majority of the time I enjoy taking the photographs far more than I do editing them or actually producing something that is worthwhile. I believe that I have a good eye when it comes to aesthetically pleasing art, photography or cinematography and I believe that this is mostly because I can’t see three meters ahead of me without glasses.

I am, and I will probably state this again later, a complete and utter nerd-geek and nurkle. I have a tendency to over-analyze things and then that leads me to the tendency to completely take my mind off the task at hand and do something entirely different than what I originally set-out or was told to do. Don’t blame me, it’s not my problem.

I’m a chocolate addict and I believe that if the world really was made of Cadbury (like the ad says)  then people would pay far more attention to climate change. I mean, who wants a melted world?

I’m rather insane if you can’t tell. If you can’t tell you’ll soon find out if you spend enough time talking or hanging out with me. I have irrelevant thought patterns that can leap from one subject to another one without so much as an offer. I also have a tendency to get carried away when I’m talking so it’s always helpful to have a nice, big dose of ‘shut-up-please-you’re-wearing-me-out’ available on-hand if I’m in the vicinity.

I have far too many ideas and not nearly enough lifetimes to complete them all. These ideas can be something as simple as a blog (like such) and can stem to a whole TV series that I would, most probably, be the only one to understand and enjoy.

I’m determined and I get what I want. This isn’t me being cocky this is just a rule of my life. If you want something bad enough you have to work for it and you have to work hard no matter the cost. I believe this should be everybody’s motto but as we know some people can just not be persuaded to get off of their a**es.

What else can I say about myself? Too much probably…

I’m not very good with people. I don’t know why this is. I have great talents with dry humor and sarcasm, and yes I am aware that sarcasm is supposedly the lowest form of wit. But truthfully, I think it can also be one of the funniest. I also warn that I made dirty jokes in far too common circumstances to be considered to have any tact at all.

I believe in having a strong voice and being truthful to yourself so you’ll most probably find that all my writing is going to be a little like this. I also believe that writing is one of the best pursuits of peoples time whether you actually have something useful to say or not. But then again it all depends on your audience.

I’m, of course, studying Media Arts and Production because I thought it would be the most interesting and might teach me something. I use ‘might’ because there are times when I my brain is anti-receptive and everything just goes in one ear and out the other. It’s a serious problem and I’ll definitely be cracking down on it… eventually.

I don’t considered myself that intelligence in all honesty but I can say that I know alot of useless information that rightly, nobody in their right mind would know. An example of this is the Level 7 cheat for Bubsy (a Super Nintendo classic if you ask me) which is STGRTN. Why do I remember this? No idea, maybe I’m still trying to impress my big brother in some way.

As stated I do have a big brother and he is the one person in the world who I think actually understands what I’m on about half the time, while the other half of the time he’s simply disowning me. You win some you lose some, but whatever happens, you’ve always had some.

I should probably stop talking about myself now and actually discuss what I’m meant to be discussing but sitting here, and being a blogger of pasts, I’ve started to wonder about the exposure as well as the pros-and-cons of each blog-space that we have been invited to use (i.e. the ones that were noted in Week 2s lecture). I’m thinking, if I can be at all bothered that I might invested in a FREE (thank-the-lord) account in each of these and do a weekly comparison of at least one feature, but I’m not sure if I’d have the time or the internet capacity.

But that’s just one of my random ideas.

I’ve also decided that because I haven’t seriously blogged in awhile that I might start a recount of my Uni endeavours (e.g. classes and lectures and work and whatnot…) and maybe even put up some of my other writing, just because I’m an absolute spam-self-promotion-whore.

This is all speculation anyway…

So that’s my introduction, and I’m…

– Cal.
