Need to stop being so shy

I hate being so shy in certain situations. I come off as being an absolute snob, and it’s fair enough that people think that too. I sadly can see why they think that.

I remember once moving desks at work, and it took me a good 4 weeks to be able to say Hi to the person next to me, even though they seemed perfectly nice, and ended up getting along well after all. I remember going into work n sitting at my desk, and i’d sit there telling myself to say something, to get a convo started, but my shyness got the better of me.

I’ve gotten better, in smaller groups I feel comfy, but in larger ones, I need to work harder on being social.

Went to Phil n Laura’s fancy dress last w/e. That was cool, I knocked up a Little Red Rolling Hood outfit last min, which showed :P and James went as the Big Bad Wolf who put me in the wheelchair  I thought later of things I could have added. Always the way  Photos are on my facebook. Do a search for Ainslee Hooper. You’ll also find photos there of James when he won MVP for baseball on the Friday before the party :D

Laura was Malice in Wonderland, such a cool outfit, and another guy was Captain Jackmeoff. Phil was The Mad Hatter. Impressive lot of outfits, need to put more thought into it next time. Damn lack of imagination  

They were playing The Labyrinth soundtrack that night, so watched it on DVD the next day with James. I hadn’t seen it in years, so was cool to watch.

Uni is nearly over for the semester. One more essay to go. Reading The Communist Manifesto at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it. In Ainsworld, Communism will reign supreme, and it will work!

Placed bets today for the grand final. May as well get some enjoyment out of it  

I miss my server. It decided to break the other week. It decides that there is no longer a hard drive or a cd rom drive, intermittently. Am awaiting for a new server to come in with a new PC. Am going to run a file server/webserver with RAID5 and then my PC. Got rid of Norton today, that made a heap of difference with performance.

James got me a new tshirt yesterday. http://www.xkcd.com/store/witty_shirt_thumb.png

Also want to get this one

Anyway, enough procrastinating. I’ve put off posting because I miss my blog, but my urge to rant etc got the better of me.

Chasers 'might have been shot' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

I don’t understand the uproar about this. They are making out that it is the Chasers that are wrong. The Chasers clearly had fake security tags, and were waved through two check points. Isn’t it the security they should be angry with, for not doing their job to begin with?

There’s not much to say about this, except that it’s absolute stupidity. I haven’t watched the show myself, the ads don’t exactly draw me in. It’s the same for Big Brother though. I saw the ads, and that was enough for me. Sure, this may be trash, but why do people think they have a right to dictate what others should watch? The ones who are protesting outside channel 10 admit to not even watching the show themselves to have formed an opinion. The only opinion I have of this show is that it looks rather dull based on the advertising and therefore won’t be getting a moment of my time. I am not going to tell others that they shouldn’t watch it though, it’s their business.

On another note, watched Scum the other day with James. Damn good movie about a group of boys in a Borstal in Britain. Was very gripping and moving, probalby one of the most thought provoking films i’ve seen in a long time.

Also watched 4 corners today. It was about teenagers in America who get life, and life there means just that. One boy who got life murdered his mother and step father because he and his brother were repeatedly raped and abused by their step father. Their mother only had this boy as she thought it would change the marriage, and a friend testified that she saw the mother tell the baby she hated him. His brother moved out when he was 18 and asked social services to look after him. They didn’t, and this resulted in the murder. It is of my opinion that this boy was acting in self defence because of the way he had been treated all of these years and no one acted to help him. I do not understand how a justice system can be called as such when it does not deal out justice. It deals an unjust result for an unjust act (that of the treatment of this boys step father).

Ahh.. the wonder of humanity… BFN

Been awhile since i’ve posted. Been swamped with study etc.

Went away briefly a week ago to Mildura and am as a result very behind in study, hence the being swamped. Note to self, be more assertive and don’t get sucked into going away on “family” holidays. It only resulted in me getting stabby and people once again not understanding why I was feeling the way I did. I fail at communication or something.

Got a rejection for a job I applied for, but another has since come up so am applying for that one and feel pretty confident about it. Well, not really, but my head tells me I would be good, just a matter of trying to convince others of it.

Saw The Simpsons last night with James. Was funny. I was surprised I haven’t heard more about it.

Have a few things that I am putting on my shopping list at the moment. My printer went bust on Monday, so am picking up a new one today. Also saving up to buy both the DNA and fingerprint versions of http://www.dna11.com/. They will look so nice on my wall above my sofa.

And on top of that, am getting a price on a new system and making my current system my web server and file server and getting rid of current web server.

Anyway, must get cracking on study. BFN.

Ahh Neg

Neg at it again :D
