Birthday Awesomeness
So the past Sunday was my birthday, and it was awesome.
I had to work in the morning, so I wasn't so thrilled about that, but I like working there anyway, so it wasn't too bad. I was just bummed because I didn't have that much time to prepare games and stuff afterwards. Anyway, at work my boss's dad made my a massive desert pie for my party. HE'S SO NICE! And it tasted really good. I also learnt a new way to cut onions really tiny, so that was good. I also got a chance to grab a birthday Boost Juice which was nice. I ALWAYS get Mango Tango Crush in case anyone was wondering.
I have such an amazing group of songs in my playlit at the moment. I didn't put them on for the party because no one knows the songs, but listening to them makes it a really good way to start the day:
- Glad You Came: Glee Warblers
- Lady Godiva: Alex Day
- Worth It: Luke Conard and Ryan Seiler
- Cough Syrup: Glee, Darren Criss
- Flight of the Prince (Acoustic): Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls
- Room to Breathe: Christian Caldeira
- Light of You: Christian Caldiera
- Hole in my Heart: Christian Caldiera
- Right Here: HeyHiHello
- Movie Song: HeyHiHello
- Like It's Quidditch: The Station
- Call Me Maybe: Carly Jae Respen
- Nerdfighteria Island: Hank Green
- Delete You: ALL CAPS (Kristina Horner)
- Girl in Stilettos: Annah Mac
Anyway, back to my birthday. I organised a race around the house. It was originally going to be at my local primary school, but the Melbourne weather decided to suddenly drop 10 degrees for the weekend, so it became really cold. But, it turned out really fun. We had the race, then dinner, then played Cranium (so much fun), then desert where I gave a eally awkward and unprepared speech in which I thanked everyone for putting up with my crazy and my sister for being awesome. I forgot to say thanks to Ally for helping me organise the whole thing and being my Facebook proxy when no one was replying via text. So here I am now:
To Ally Cullinan: Thank you for being my go to person whenever I needed to add something to the party details and for helping me organsie everyone. You, too, are made of awesome.
OH! I GOT A LAPTOP!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOP! It has a camera and no blocking of the internet!!!! Now I can totally get Facebook! .... although that would mean having to become friends with my dad..... perhaps not then..... (for my friends who want me to get Facebook, I'll let you know more details when I see you next) but I HAVE A LAPTOP!!! I am typing this pst on it now, how exciting!
A couple of my friends got me a massive P!nk picture thingy and it's 295/500 and it's really big and really cool and OMIGOSH SO AWESOME! It even has it's own Certificate of Authenticity at the back! SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just went for a haircut... now it is uber short... well not uber short, but shorter than I normally get it cut.
StarKid are putting Holy Musical Batman up this Friday!!!!
Lady Godiva didn't do as well as hoped, but it still got to number one in Slovenia at one point which was awesome. Poor Alex. He worked so hard at getting it to number one.
Yesterday Jess, Anne and Jane came over with their parents and we all played Cranium. Then Aunty Shook came over and we sang Happy Birthday to her because it was her birthday (poor her, sharing a birthday with Kristen Stewart) and Jess did the Ellen Dance Challenge behind people. It. Was. Hilarious!
What else is good? EVERYTHING! Oh, except for the fact that I probably should start revising for a science test.....

IT'S GODIVA DAY!!!!
IT'S GODIVA DAY EVERYONE!!!! The second most awesome day this April (the first will be next Sunday where it's my birthday, Alex Day's Birthday, and hopefully the day Lady Godiva is announced to be number 1).
I really hope that Lady Godiva does do well because it will mean so much to the Nermie Army - we're not just doing something stupid... Although, I don't really think we mind doing something stupid, we just want to get noticed for doing something stupid.
Like Alex said in a recent video, it's suck if it got to, like, number 8 or something. It's still good, just not as good as Forever Yours, and would make it seem that it wasn't worth the time.
It's really an amazing song, and I sincerely hope that it does well. Also, it'd chart on my and his birthday :)

BEDIM Day 31
WOO! Last BEDIM post! Don't worry dear 2 followers, I will still blog at least once a week for y'all.
So last night's party was weird, but still pretty good. So it started off with a few of us sitting on a couch and when we went to get drinks, Raph introduced us to one of her Uni friends, James (again, why does everyone' name have to start with J?). HE WAS THE SPITTING IMAGE OF GRANT GUSTIN! But that was the last we saw of him for the whole night.
There was a really big cushiony sofa in one corner, and at the start of the night we named it the make-out corner. However, 30 minutes in, it was renamed at the corner for people to go and sit if they didn't want the music to be too loud. We sat there for about 2 hrs, just talking, taking weird pictures and eating... a lot of eating.
Next thing we did was to go out and dance a bit, and when we were going out we passed our ex-Vice Principal... because that's totally normal. She's Raph's brother's Godmother.
So after that we went to dance but the DJ was crap and kept playing songs that we couldn't dance to.
We then had birthday speeches which were made by a couple of our friends, and that no-one payed much attention to because it went for ages. Then it was one of her uncles which made a total parody of the speech which was awesome. And then there was Greek dancing, which is basically walking around really fancily in a circle. We didn't really get it at first, but then Ms. Hiotis (the ex-VP) came along and showed us how and it was pretty easy.
By the end of that it was 11.30 and I went home, although the party was meant to go until about 1... but I was tired and sick.... and today my voice and cough is even worse.

BEDIM Day 30
So last night was awesome. It was my sister's (and my old school's) Chorals performance, and it was the first time that I had watched it on one of the nights without having to usher anyone in between acts. It was really relaxing.
The first vocal soloist was from Flynn who performed Holy Moses by Washington. AND SHE DIDN'T RUIN THE SONG! Thank God for that! She was actually really good and ended up being my favourite. There was a girl who sung an Adele song, but I think that she wasn't gutsy enough for Adele.
I totally forgot that it was last dayof school today, and I'm writing this from the local Maccas so there are SO MANY CHILDREN AROUND! I thought that it would be peacefully quiet, but no.
Back to Chorals.
All of the Instrumental Soloists were pretty average except for the Flynn girl who performed a Pirates of the Carribean medley on the piano. She was the best because she actually had dynamics in hers.
The small groups were all actually pretty good, except for Brennan who ruined Sara Barellis' Kalaidoscope Heart for me. Also, Cattanach wasn't that great. Flynn wasn't either because they did Sweet Disposition and they were all a bit out of sync at the start. But if they could fix it up for today's performance, I'm sure that they'll be pretty good... But Macca was the best one for that.
Lastly, the Big Groups. Big Groups is where anyone could join (compared to the others which all involved auditions). Cattanach was the first group and they did a Spice Girls medley. They were horrible! They couldn't hit any of the high notes which just made it really bad. Flynn was up next and they did Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne.... which they ruined..... Then there was Macca. My sister has been saying for the past 4 weeks that they are terrible and that that they can't win at all, but I found it to be the best Big Group of the night. Firstly, THEY WERE SMILING! None of the other houses had smiled so it made it terrible. Secondly, their sound was together. They performed Iko Iko by the Dixie Cups and because it's a fast song, I thought they were going to be really bad and that their sound was going to be disjointed, BUT IT WASN'T. Now, I'm not just saying this because I was in Macca, but I really liked it and think that they'll win Big Group. Brennan was the last group to perform and did Bad Romance.... No.... just, no.
So overall, the best soloists were from Flynn, and the best Groups were from Macca. It's going to be a close call. The adjudication is today, so when I get home I'll put up another post and let you people on the internet (the majority of who probably stopped reading at the second sentence or didn't read this at all) know what happened and how the day went down.
For me, I've still got another 4 days of Uni until my Easter break (and until my birthday). This weekend is going to be chock a block with work. I have to finish that role play once my group send me their information, write an essay explaining my twisted version of Hansel and Gretel (which I shall post up here once the assignment submissions are finished, as well as the Red Riding Hood one that I wrote as a trial), and make a menu for my work (but that one's not so important).
For now though, I have a party tonight and have to fill up a picture album for my friend whose party it is. Looking forward to all the drunk people that I get to video. And because I don't have FaceBook, it's like I have special permission or something. It's great :)

BEDIM Day 25
So today I went to see The Hunger Games. SO GOOD! I think the main point of why it's so good is that Suzanne Collins had so much input into the movie. Just looking through the credits she was one of the screen writers as well as being an executive producer. I really want to read the books now. Hoepfully someone gets it for my birthday. I like presents :)
Anyway, today I woke up for work and my throat was so sore! It really annoys me because I haven't done anything bad to it. I mean, I've been drinking heaps of water... must be cold weather?
Tomorrow I have 3 assignments due. One of them is my education unit where I bring along some artefacts and tags, another is a research assignment which I've already submitted online, and the last is my bit for a group assignment.... yeahhhhh..... need to get on that. Luckily I have a few big breaks tomorrow, so I can use them, but still if I get organised right now I can get some of it done. So... here's me getting orgnised.
Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!
P.S. And may the odds be ever in your favour.

BEDIM Day 24
Almost a week to go until I get to finish writing BEDIM. As much as I love blogging, doing it everyday is really tiring... that's what she said.
Today was a good and bad day. In the morning I went out to DFO with my mum to try and find a dress and a nice warm jumper. Now, not being able to find a dress I like can be excused, but I have a bone to pick with the fashion industry. WHERE HAVE ALL THE NICE WOOLY JUMPERS GONE????? All the shops have now days are some cardigans which are too itchy, and some really thin jumpers which are pointless for winter. WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE WOOLY JUMPERS!???? That was a low point - when I realised that if I wanted one of thsoe types of jumpers that are so lovely and warm, I'd have to buy a guys jumper.
Anyway, after that I went out with my friend Sze Yee for lunch at Shira Nui (some Japanese place). It was nice to get together with her because I hadn't seen her for about 2 months. After that we went to The Glen and I bought some Truffles, Jumbo pack of Nerds and a Terry's Chocolate Orange altogether for $15. BARGAIN! Then we went around and went to Dymocks where I decided to buy TFioS because it was $15 there, and the checkout person WAS A NERDFIGHTER! I knew this because we got chatting about John Green's other books, and I asked if she was and she said yes! WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP!!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT! But... I FORGOT TO SAY DFTBA! I'M SO STUPID! HOW COULD I FORGET TO SAY THAT!!!!! GAH!!!
Anyways. After that Sze Yee and I decided to go to Knox, and we saw Lilla on the bus going there. Then when we got to Knox and couldn't find anything worthwhile to buy, we went to Sze Yee's house to collect her car and she drove me home. It's the first time any of my friends have driven me home... I quite liked it... I mean, it wasn't terrifying. I don't really know why people think that it's terrifying to be in the same car that your friend is driving. They must have been given their license for some reason, isn't it?

BEDIM Day 18
Yo dudes! How's it goin? Whatcha up to? I'm good, but a little tired.
I had a party last night which was much better than other parties. I thought it was going to be one of those ones where you sat around and did nothing, but PEOPLE ACTUALLY DANCED AT THIS PARTY! It made it really good and so much fun.
I've finally decided what to do for my own party... just not sure if I should have it or not. I want to have it, but my previous experiences of being a host have not been very good. It would be on the Easter weekend which is really good because it means that everyone has Uni off.
I did one of my assignments yesterday. So that's two down, four to go. I've done my artefact collecting and written my own version of Red Riding Hood. Now I have 2 science assignments, 1 survey and an essay to write. Hopefully tomorrow I can finish one of my science assignments in my breaks.
I want to tell you my favourite joke, as seen in a Hank Green VlogBrothers video:
What do you call a monkey that walks into a minefield? A BA-BOOM!!!

BEDIM Day 9
Ok, so apparently the reason I don't know anything about Kony is because it was all over FaceBook and I don't have FaceBook... so there you go. It can't be that big of a deal. I mean, I haven't even seen it on any of the newspapers.
Anyway, last holidays I was REALLY bored, and I started to watch the Vlogbrothers videos from the beginning. When I came across the song Nerdfighteria Island, I just had to draw my version of Nerdfighteria. And here it is:

Yes, I know, I did the YouTube sign wrong. I didn't even realise until I finshed making the picture and I was so annoyed with myself for not realising it.
If you would like to know what each thing is, below is the named version, but some of the main things are the exploding TARDIS as the Sun, the Death Star as the Moon, Nermie Army Pirate Ship, Bad Wolf Bay up the top of the island, Pixar and Disney complex's, the guitar is called This Machine Studios, and there is a French Llama Paddock at the side :)

BEDIM Day 8
So, I have now officially made a week writing for this blog every day... And I'm already running out of ideas.
So yesterday I had my first shift for my work. I think I got the hang of things quite quickly, but just remembering what to do with the discounts and vouchers is annoying. Also, the till doesn't always open, but I have found out a secret way to make it open for me. Today I mainly did the serving, which was good, but got really boring at times, mainly because everyone comes in massive dribs and drabs.
At the moment, I'm sitting here, watching My Kitchen Rules and the cricket finals simultaneously whilst my sister is over at the other computer, crying her eyes out. We had this discussion at dinner, where she told us of this guys called Kony in Uganda doing something or other to kids, and he's been on the run for 10 years or something.I haven't been home all day, so I haven't had the chance to even look at the news. Anyway, I got home just as The Project were doing their news wrap up, and there was nothing. In the mX newspaper I got on the tram, there was nothing. You'd think that something this big, would be everywhere, but it wasn't. I had to Google something very specific to get to the article. And now, she's crying. Boo hoo.
Anyway..........
Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 3 - Wasted Days
So today, I basically only have one good break to myself before bed. Because we're renovating our kitchen and bathroom, every single weekend we've been going out to the shops to look for bathrooms and stuff. Every. Single. Weekend. And it's SOOOOOO BOOOORRRRRRIIINNNGGGGG!!! If it weren't for my sister and I mucking around in the shops, we'd be brain dead by now.
Anyway, today we went out again and tonight we are having people over. I don't mind it, it's just I have to do some preparation work... degutting prawns. So that always takes ages, and tonight the guest probably won't leave until midnight. I'm not complaining because it's Jess and she's awesome, but I just want time to myself. It's nice to have time to myself, and I'd like to have a longer time to myself to read or whatever, but today I just don't have time.
Moral of this post: I want more time to myself :)

BEDIM Day 2 - What's New Pussycat?
So, a lot has changed in my life since yesterday. The most noticeable change in my life is that I have a job. So, yesterday I got a call from Nanna RICH Pies at Knox, asking if I was able to come in today. I said I was, and today, at 2, I went in. When I was there, I was told to take down notes about the order of the pies, the register, drinks and basically everything else. I did not expect any of that at all, but it’s FABULOUS! The people there are really nice to me too, and to each other which is great. Also, all their names start with J: John, Jean and Jeff. I’m such an odd one out...
After that I went to a bookshop to wait for mum to finish her shopping, and I found The Fault In Our Stars! I was really surprised because it’s Australia and we never get anything good.
In other news, I had a really cool dream last night. I was listening to VLR for basically the whole day because their latest episode is hilarious. I was listening to it in bed and I fell asleep whilst it was still playing. If anyone has listened to VLR 3x11, you’ll know what “Suckle at me Tweet” is and how funny it is in this episode. Basically, my dream was that I was there with Alex, Jimmy and Charlie at the recording when Jimmy had to decide what to tweet. I was sitting a fair bit away from Alex and Jimmy, with Charlie, and was searching up “the top 10 controversial things to say” when Jimmy came up with his tweet about J.K. Rowling. It was sort of like Sherlock in the way the scene appeared to me. For example, when Jimmy was typing into his phone, what he was typing in appeared above his phone, and above Charlie’s iPad when he was searching up what people were saying in reply to Jimmy. My dream ended when Charlie explained to Alex that a certain tweet was sent ages ago. And, when I woke up, the podcast was at the exact spot that my dream had ended! How cool is that!?!

BEDIM Day 1
So, it’s the first day of Blog Every Day in March. I’m wondering if I’ll actually post every day, and if this will turn into a 31 posts in 31 days.
I thought I might start by giving y’all an update. So during the past 3 days, I’ve been going into Deakin for O Week. It’s been pretty good: there was free food and free stuff. On Monday I didn’t have anything on, but I met up with a couple of friends and met a couple of new ones. There was one girl, Taylor, who is in a band called Volatile Diversity, which is made up of members from her high school. She also plays 6 (?) instruments including 3 types of guitar. Why is it, that whenever I meet someone new, they are always so unbelievably talented?
On Tuesday I had a sort of meet and greet for my course in the morning which included a campus tour. They took us to a place called the learning space and they had the most awesome chairs. I call them the “Muahaha chairs” because they look like blue versions of the Emperors chair from Star Wars. I then walked around the stalls for a bit and I got so much free stuff. I got a laptop shoulder bag (for my imaginary laptop), a cap, a fancy type hat and a few vouchers for discounted hot chocolates. Then, for three hours I went on the computers in the library until a lecture at 3.
Then, yesterday, I went in for a lecture about going out to schools. We then were separated into groups. In my group, we played a sort of speed-dating game where we would say one lie and two truths. A lot of people thought that when I said I didn’t have Facebook, that it was the lie. BUT THEY WERE WRONG! All except for one girl called Amy. My two truths were that I didn’t have Facebook and that I loved Doctor Who, and my lie was that I liked avocado. When Amy was guessing she said, “It’s not Doctor Who, because I love Doctor Who,” ... OH MY GOD! EPICNESS! So, we high fived and in a treasure hunt later, we paired up and got talking about Doctor Who. Her full name is Amy Smith, which I like because it’s a mixture of Amy Pond and Matt Smith. It was awesome. And, like Taylor, she plays HEAPS of instruments, and so much more talented then me. Fun times.
Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

Random Wibble #1
Well, I’ve had this blog for a while, but have always written articles of a certain topic, so this blog has never really lived up to its name. However, I have now compiled enough wibble for me to kind of make a scrap book blog of sorts – all of these are random notes that I have taken down over the past month and shall now be published, here, on this very blog. Aren’t you special?
I was initially going to write a blog about how people can look professional when playing an instrument, but decided that it was too short for an actually article. So:
Have you ever wondered how people playing the piano always look so professional? Well, I have a couple of notes for you to make people believe that you can play professionally.
1. Lean back and forth and look left and right. Most piano players are Asian, so they need glasses. As a result, they look at their page/keys quite often.
2. Closing your eyes... well not really. When it appears that pianists are closing their eyes, they make it look like they are “feeling the music” and, quite frankly, are showing off. However, The secret is, that they are squinting. As noted in the previous point, most piano players are Asian, so they need glasses, and when they play, it’s rare to see a pianist with glasses on. So, even when they are wearing contacts, they are squinting at their music.
I wanted to write a crimp, like in the Mighty Boosh, but had no ideas about what to write about. I didn’t want to write one about Doctor Who or something, because that’s very typical of me, and I wanted to be challenged. The Might Boosh often crimped about foods, e.g. soup and cheese, and I thought you guys could leave comments below about what inanimate objects I could crimp about.
I am the only Lian Meacco in the world! This is because “Lian” is already a pretty uncommon name but “Meacco” is even less common. The name Meacco is the Italian version of Mejak (May-yark), which is the Croatian/Yugoslavian version of the name. Basically, when our family was captured by the Italians during WW2, the name got changed as Italians don’t have the letters “j” or “k”. When the family immigrated to Australia, my Nono couldn’t be brothered to change the name back to Mejak.
I have the same birthday with Alex Day (Nerimon) and Lindsay McDonnell (lilliesarelike). And I have four other friends who have the same birthdays as the other people in Chameleon Circuit.
When playing music to strangers, be free to play your own music. The worst that can happen is that they don’t like the music. I often play my own Nerdfighter music and not care about what people think. Also, if you play it to strangers, they would immediately be attracted to you and your music, as they would be curious as to what the hell is playing. This way, they don’t hate the music. For example, if you played Justin Beiber to a crowd of Eminem fans, they would boo and shun, but if you played Rhett & Link to a crowd of Eminem fans, they would be intrigued as the music style is similar, and they may even end up liking Nerdfighter music more than their mainstream pop-rock music.

The World's Gone Mad
I wrote this on the first of November, so it's got a few non-currenet events. I didn't upload it because I didn't permit myself to go on the internet during my exam study. BUT NOW EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!
Today was the Melbourne Cup where Dunaden won by literally a centimetre. My horses, if anyone wants to know, came last and seventh. I don’t know if I’m jinxed or not, but one of my horses always comes last. I don’t bet in them of course, I’m too poor for that, and I probably will never bet on them if I am rich. Anyway, I was searching through my news feed about five hours later, and guess what? There was absolutely no mention of the Cup, or anything leading up to it. Instead it was filled with news that Kim Kardashian had split from her 72 day husband and was going to some down to Australia for the rebound. How idiotic! Firstly, my news feed might be a little slow, but still. And secondly, I don’t know much about the Kardashian’s – I find that the less I know the better my life is; I mean, just reading that article about her split was so brain numbing and boring. Now, that you know what I know, I have to ask, did no one else see this coming? I mean, sure it was called the “Hollywood Royal Wedding” and you’d expect that “royal” relationships would last a long time, but the fact that it was Hollywood... Did no-one expect it? Was it such a surprise? Is it so important that it has to clog up my news feed with ten million articles? Does the world need to know about her? Who really cares? What is she famous for anyway? As far as I know she’s just a reality TV star, and unless she’s gone on to do better things with her life, she deserves no attention. Why do we, as a world, embrace reality TV so much? Don’t get me wrong, I get sucked into reality TV too, but the shows I watch are things like Masterchef where you learn to cook, and So You Think You Can Dance where I was inspired to work out and become fit. Shows like The Hills, Big Brother, Jersey Shore, and other alike shows, have been banned from me for my parents. And I don’t hate them for it. I don’t want to follow people around while they start fights and/or sleep with other people. I’ll admit that I have watched things like Survivor in the past and found it entertaining, but at least they are being challenged on the show with things that involve some mental and/or physical exertion. The people on other reality shows, only get challenged to be douches and dickheads. The biggest challenge they would face that day is the choice to get drunk or not, or to sleep with someone or not. It’s pathetic.
OK, my second issue: QANTAS. QANTAS recently grounded all of their planes for a couple of days so that they could sort out what was happening with all the protests. I think that was a good move, but the media hates it. Sure it caused some inconvenience for a few days, but isn’t that better than strikes continuing on for years? Also, the passengers all got rescheduled or a refund! It’s fine! Sure some meeting may have been missed, but has the world not heard of Skype? Or an iPad? Also, the media have been hammering on about how Julia Gillard should have stepped in. Firstly, I’m not for Julia Gillard, but I’m not against her either, and I think that the media has been treating her unfairly on this matter. What can she do? What could she have done? She certainly couldn’t have stepped in. If she had made laws to combat the strikes, say a fine was imposed or something, people would just quit their jobs or cop the fine and keep protesting. She couldn’t possible do anything. It was not her fault, but QANTAS. Tony Abbott is not any better than her either. He says that Julia Gillard should have taken action. In other words, he was standing back and laughing at her. If he really cared about stopping the situation being stopped, he would have said, “She needs to step in and control the situation by doing this...” not, “She needs to step in and take action.” WHAT ACTION ABBOTT? WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE? WOULD YOU AND YOUR BUDGIE SMUGGLERS HAVE COPED WITH THIS, THIS WELL? And the simple answer is, no, he wouldn’t have.
A third issue that’s really bugging me is Michael Jackson’s doctor. I JUST DON’T CARE ANY MORE! LEAVE ME ALONE! I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC IN PEACE WITHOUT THINKING HOW HE DIED! Sure there are still people out there who care, such as his family, and it should be kept private to them. YOU HEAR THAT MEDIA!? PRIVATE! Also, stop calling him MJ. It’s annoying me.
Now I’m going to get heaps of hater comments. But I stand by what I said. In a quick summary:
· Watching people get drunk and sleep with others on TV is stupid
· I saw the divorce coming
· Julia Gillard is not to blame for the QANTAS mess up
· QANTAS is to blame for the QANTAS mess up
· Michael Jackson’s doctor’s actions should be kept private
Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!
