Why is it that people nowadays simply take for granted the incredible awesomeness of technology?
For example, I have no idea how iPhones and iPod touches manage to incorporate a pressure recognition system thing while at the same time, display images 50 billion times better quality than my plasma TV. In fact, I couldn't explain to you any kind of screen display, or memory, or audio output. But despite all this, I simply take it as it comes, without question but with 'meh', accepting that maybe I'll just never know.
Five years ago, if you were to have handed me a touchscreen piece of technology that was quite readily mass distributed to the entire world (ie. Hello, Apple) - at 9 years old and easily amused, I would've yelled "Magick!", with a 'k', and quickly burned you at the stake.
Nowadays we justify technology based on the fact that we're pretty sure someone somewhere out there can explain it, therefore it isn't an amazing feat of bejebus and his miracles, but perhaps, that of Dumbledore instead.

Wow.
Now that I "stand outside" and have a look at my life now, I have to admit things really could not have worked out better for me and my friends.
I'm really glad I left my previous school. There are so many nice things that wouldn't have happened if I didn't; I wouldn't be in QYO, I certainly wouldn't be going out with (lets say 'Voldemort' for the purposes of this blog) Voldemort, Angie wouldn't have the friends she has now, Angie wouldn't be in the situation she's in now (xD), not to mention some really cool/nerdy/athsma-inducing people I've met over the past 2 months. Oh right, and the educational opportunities. I can never seem to remember that. I still get to go to Europe, I still get to visit JPC every week, which is strangely, even though it's the school I'm happy to have left, also one of the best parts of life at the moment as well.
Let me just take this opportunity to say that "I wouldn't be going out with Voldemort" is possibly the coolest thing written on the internet, ever.
So right now, there are four main "groups" of people in my life right now:
- Best friend. I never get to see you though, which is weird how this is all working out.
- Voldemort and Friend, 'cause Friend's pretty cool as well :)
- the class time boys - funniest group of kids ever. They always have me rolling on the floor in every class, whether it's because of their ability to pull of 'your mum' and 'that's what she said' jokes, or because they've drugged me. Either way it's quite enjoyable.
- the lunch time girls and co. - Not so funny but a great bunch of people to pass time with xD
It's in order of importance, I guess. Or maybe in order of how happy they make me. I don't know. I hate deeming the importance of people, although at the same time I would never say that they're equal. In a strange way, that would just be unfair.
I guess this blog entry was really for my own purposes. Like a little snap shot of what I love about life right now. If this were lj, I'd turn off the comments and lock this post, but it's not so feel free to read and comment xD.
P.S.: Being home alone and blasting 'The Downeaster "Alexa"' through my speakers makes me very, very happy. At the moment, Storm Front would have to be my favourite albums, although my least favourite song. But, Sting and Anne Murray are so good right now. Queen is still brilliant, and Billy Joel doesn't even need to be mentioned. Except for the fact that I already have. Rahhhh! I love my music.
