i really need to post the yugioh LCGX post but i cant be bothered editing the video and finding a way to put it here (cause the file's ginormous) yet ... so im sorry about that :( probably next weekend ...

walking out of my room and into the living room, i caught my brother staring intently into his computer screen. i immediately began to draw closer, eager to see what he was doing.

the screen was blank. it was black, but it emitted a soft glow which meant the monitor wasn't off. perplexed, i turned around and asked jason what he was looking at ...

and at that exact moment the monitor flicked to his favourite game - powder toy. turns out it was just loading.

so ... several hours later i casually strolled out again. mocking myself, i decided to see what he was doing on his computer this time. i took a double take. why? probably cause he had this image almost fullscreen-size splattered across his monitor ...

those are his eyes on a photo he took of his rubber
he calls it 'Annoying Orange - Jason Version'

you know ... the Annoying Orange on youtube?

sorry about the lateness of this post! i've been really busy for the past few weekends what with exams and everything. i recently did my ipt hsc and apparently it was the hardest exam in 6 years ... and i totally agree. it was so difficult i felt like Mr Bean when he was doing his calculus exam :D

whoops what a diversion from the subject of this post. so for a few days in the holidays my brother wanted to sleep with me so i was like ehe fine. but i had to sleep on the outside cause apparently he's scared of this face that moonlight casts on the door or something :|

so we're weird and we find weird things really funny. so we were like rolling over each other. you know what i mean. like you get one to lie down, face down, and the other rolls on top and it feels really funny. so we were playing and we were like giggling (my mum was trying to sleep) and we were finding it really hard to stay quiet. and then i thought of a very funny trick i could do ...

so he was like omg lemme do it again! and im like ehehehehehe (in an evil way). i figured that if i lay on the very edge of the bed (cause i was sleeping on the outside) he's roll over me and find no more bed to land on. you know what i mean? haha it was a funny thought at the time. so i laid down and got him to roll over me. so he rolled ... but while he was balancing on my back he must've felt something weird. maybe cause he began to wonder why he had to roll so far or maybe cause he sensed my evilness. he stuck his hand where he was meant to land and ... to his horror there was nothing there! immediately i could feel him sticking his foot forward to push himself from the shelf (i have a shelf beside the the end of my bed) and he stuck his hand up to hold on to the poles (i sleep on a bunk bed). so he was like AAAAHHHH and i was like >:D MWAHAHAHAHA and it was like a struggle to see if i could get him off the bed. so it was a bit like this:

so yeah, there was a struggle. i just tried to turn my body toward the edge of the bed so he could fall off while he was like holding on with his hands. so we were like seriously laughing our heads off in one of those stomach hurting ones and then I WON! i turned and he knew he was going to fall so he braced himself and landed without hurting himself (i would REALLY hurt him ...).

by this time my mum had woken up and was really annoyed, so she turned on the light on her bedside table and turned around preparing to tell us to be quiet, only to be met with two cackling kids ... and jason, who was sleeping on the inside, was lying on the ground.

it has been quite a while since i've blogged due to exams and a whole lot of activities lately (my excuse for being lazy) ...

my dad's still sleeping so i was going to use my brother's computer to blog a bit. so i turned on his nice Windows 7 computer (compared to my sad Windows XP one - but i still like it better ohohoho) and waited (because he decided to install every program he sees and etc.)

and so i opened blogspot.com and weirdly it redirected me to blogger.com (it's weird cause i think jenmonster.blogger.com doesnt work but jenmonster.blogspot.com does. yet the logo thing says blogger. i'm so confused.) and then when it loaded it said redirecting ... and then BOOM IT SHOWED A PAGE.

why did i write that in capitals? CAUSE SOMEONE HAD ALREADY LOGGED IN LIKE MY BROTHER and guess what his username was?

JaceMonster. I KNOW RIGHT. sound familiar to you? yeah, maybe cause his name is Jason and my username is jenmonster? does he not know the difficulties to overcome in finding a username? (i seriously have no idea how to come up with one ... experience after having HanaKimiAddict as my crunchyroll account and stuff since year 6 haha) i also dont really suit cuty-pie-jennifer or something like cupcakessss. hence i had to go searching for those username-generators and i typed in my name and it gave me like a page long list of things. and i was like hm .. reading until JENMONSTER came up near the end and i was getting tired and i was just like FINE.

:) yeah. he's a copycat. i better hope he keeps himself signed on and checking to make sure he isnt following this blog :)

the screen that blew my socks off

omg i can hear my bro getting up so i better leave this page soon :)

gonna be a short post.

well, my brother woke dad up to ask if he could pay for his Myuna Bay camp excursion thing.

so dad's like half asleep. and my brother goes can you pay? and dad's like for what? then jason's like Myuna.

then dad was like: 买烟啊?! (which sounds like: mai yeen a and means are you buying cigarettes)

and jason was like: MYUNA.

except i dont think jason realised what dad repeated. or maybe dad didnt even say that and actually said MYUNA with a weird accent and i was the one that thought he said 买烟啊. maybe.

the day before i made my brother pinky promise me that he'd finish his speech and his contract task by saturday. cause if he did i'd let him play on the computer as long as he kept his promise - proving that he could still finish his word despite playing games.

BUT IT WAS SUNDAY NIGHT, 11:SOMETHING AND HE WAS RUSHING HIS SPEECH. (it was about chimpanzees taking over the world and that he believed it would be possible - yeah, it was a free topic speech this week).

so when he was walking into my room i did that whole poof chest out i-am-really-not-bulliable pose and that whole pointing at his chest thing. like the bully in these:

yeah, all it took was a google image search of 'bullying'
it's an overrated bullying pose.

and so he walked back and walked into the walk behind him. and hit his head. so he said ow. but nicely, like how you say ow when someone pokes your back at school but then forget about it. and i was like 'i thought you said you'd finish your speech by saturday?!' and then that menacing glare ... a bit like this:

and then proceeded to walk into my bedroom to set my alarm clock for tomorrow. i was lying on my bed with my legs dangling when ...

OOMPH! yeah, my brother kicked the soles of my foot. like i was wearing slippers with hard soles (so it must have hurt for him too?) and he kicked me, sending my foot flying ...

into the air. no, not across the room :P

well yeah. it hurt. but not too much. just a spasm of pain like when you twist your ankle, nothing more. so i pretended nothing happened (cause that's what i always do - but joanna says dont do that :( im sorry, i forgot. its my default action) and my mum was like :D jason why you do that for?! and jason goes 'she hit my head omg AND IT HURTS LIKE HELL!!!! in that irritated, angry, exasperated tone that is so annoying.

and then he walks into my room. i prepare to hear my lamp fall, my chair to be overturned, my desk to be broken ... something.

and then i heard him turn on the computer.

and then some shredding.

me: ... is that my maths homework? no ... they're mainly sheets. it was the ripping sound of print paper, not sheets. and i couldnt figure out what it was. so i went into my room to get my clothes to shower. i didnt even try figure out what he ripped cause:

1. i had to try and look like i didnt care (mistake 2, i know)
2. even if i tried, i wouldnt find it. i wasnt wearing my glasses.

and ... later ... i found out what it was. cause i assumed he shoved the bits into my bin, and he did. it wasnt anything awesome, just a piece of paper i hung over my computer to try and be organised. the day i decide to be organised, the day my organised to do list gets shredded.

yargh. im gonna go check my sharemarket game now :)

the ebay bid.

my brother had been waiting for it for the whole day ... glancing at the clock every so often. the yugioh card he was interested in would sell to its highest bidder a little past 9.

it was 9. we watched as the count down kept counting ... 5 minutes .... 4 minutes .......

me: why dont you bid?
jason: im gonna bid in the last 10 seconds so then no one has time to outbid me :D
me: but what if you actually have to fill in something afterwards? and then you run out of time?
jason: hmmmm yeah okay i'll bid now

turns out that after you press place bid you do actually have to confirm it and enter the value, etc. so we were lucky we tried it out once.

at this stage we had just put in a $1.75 bid. we kept waiting. 3 minutes .....

then, suddenly, someone placed a bid on top of us!!!!! at $2!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 more minutes to go ......

we were all hassled. dad and mum were crouching behind my brother, curious with what the commotion was about. i was kneeling beside my brother.

dad: someone outbid you!! quick, put in another one! $2.50, go $2.50!!!
me: OMG HURRY UP! OTHERWISE HE'LL GET IT! JUST SHOVE IN ANOTHER BID!
jason: OMG WHAT OKAY WHAT DO I BID? WAIT I CAN BID $2.25!

then he bid $2.25. for the next 1 and a half minutes nothing happened. in relative silence, all four of us were staring at the computer screen, waiting for something to flicker. i could sense my brother's excitement .... the card was his to keep! he had been long awaiting this card and needed it to make his deck stronger! almost there!

me: why dont you put $2.75 in the box. so if they really bid they're gonna go for $2.50 and we dont have to waste time typing out the next bid.
bro: yeah .... okay. that's a good idea.

then, with 10 seconds to go, i was the one who spotted the minor movement on the top corner of the window. the words 'you are the highest bidder', set onto a blue/green background had transformed into the words 'you have been outbid'

me (screaming): YOU'VE JUST BEEN OUTBID!! QUICK, PRESS BID! PRESS BID!
jason (presses bid): OMG WHY ISNT ANYTHING HAPPENING!!! OMG! (keeps clicking)

the screen changes to the confirmation screen. we click confirm ........ BUT IT BOUNCES BACK SAYING THAT $2.75 IS NOT A VALID BID! THE NEXT BID IS $3 MINIMUM! it redirects back to the item page. 3 more seconds to go. we're all screaming and my mum and dad are saying 'quick!' in canto over and over again while i'm firing directions and jason struggles to work the keyboard.

pressing bid again, the second of loading of the confirmation screen is agony. pressing confirm ..... all is silent. we are all anticipating the result .....

and the new window says, with red text, that the item had been taken off after its time period.

my brother: :( ................ what?! that's not fair :(
me: awwwwwww
dad and mum (canto): did you get it?
bro: the guy got in with 3 seconds to go!

then my dad goes onto a whole explanation regarding why that was a good try. because now we are experienced, we are equipped with the knowledge for our next ebay battle. you get the gist of what he's saying ...

so basically the guy on the other end waited up to the last few seconds to bid, so that even if we saw it we might not be able to bid on top of him in time. as an extra precaution, he sacrificed an extra 25c to place a bid of $2.75 instead of the next minimum bid of $2.50 ... just in case we had prepared ourselves to quickly overbid him. it worked.

BUT IT WAS A FUN EXPERIENCE OMG. im trying to imagine what it would look like on webcam ... two adults and two kids clustered around a computer jumping up and down urging jason to bid, holding our breaths until we found out that we had been outbidded. it was very enjoyable indeed :P

oh and in case this confused you: you have to go up by at least 25c with each bid

money figures may not be 100% correct, but i tried to remember as accurately as possible :)

I woke up this morning to my eyelashes moving.

Haha, not really. My brother has this thing about waking me up by poking my eyelashes without touching my skin. It tickles.

He's done this several times before haha.
