11:23 pm - Free Ticket Day
|
I would first like to thank CityRail for their Ticket Free day. Finally, we could travel and live our lives without having to "Please allow an extra 30 minutes for your journey". Finally, we were getting something back. Finally, the problems of the past few weeks were behind us... right?
My Ticket Free day went something like this. I had to run a return trip from Padstow to Parramatta. I arrived at the station with minutes to spare before a decidedly post-Millenium train pulled up to the station. I boarded, spent a refreshing fifteen minutes in the air-conditioned carriage before alighting; at the same stop. Apparantly it had to terminate due to "a fault". I wondered whether this was one of the however-many thousand bugs already documented with these modern (read: fancy but useless) productions, or if we had discovered the however-many thousandth plus one.
The rest of my journey from Central to Parramatta was rather thankfully uneventful, however it was the trip home in which CityRail truly shined.
The screen at Parramatta station informed me that I had eight minutes to wait for my train. The number slowly ticked down to zero, as did the time-stamp of the train to come after it. Nothing. It came eventually of course, but a (seemingly) new policy of using six car trains during peak hour left little room to breath. I gained a new (and unwanted) appreciation for what the chickens feel like on those cage farms the Greenies are always complaining about. A pair of ticket inspectors intending to board the train walked up to the door, looked at each other and said, "Nope". I am still quite puzzled as to what exactly the ticket inspectors were doing on this Ticket Free day. Mind, CityRail has never been bound by mere common sense.
Ironic fact: I saw more ticket inspectors that day than I have in weeks.
The final train was the best of all. The clock said ten minutes, though apparantly that had already been delayed by ten. As it creeped ever so timidly towards arrival, the depature time suddenly decided it was sick of dwindling away to nothing and reinforced itself by a further three. The train after came first, all of its passangers told to get off only to reboard when the decision was overturned moments later. Finally my train rolled into the station, and we travelled nicely until it was decided that it too would terminate halfway.
Might I digress, special thanks to the man who loudly cursed at this announcement and continued to do so. You made the trip that much more pleasant for the rest of us. Much appreciated.
Basically, I would like to thank CityRail. Thankyou for the Service Free day.

11:06 pm - Post 3... the Return
|
I come with news of a new government conspiracy. I do not know how far this goes, whether it be Sydney, Australia or the entire world. I believe that in order to gain productivity and increase GDP, our government has added a weekday to each week without our noticing. The reasons for this shock revelation? Both yesterday and today I felt a day ahead. Today I constantly felt like it was Friday, although it was only Thursday, and the same on Wednesday. When I got home from school, my Mum forgot that it was only Thurs, asking me what I was doing tomorrow (meaning the weekend). 'Oh yeah, isn't that odd?' she said, remembering that someone at work had wished her a good weekend on the way out of the office earlier that day. Several minutes later she realised it was only Thurs, and she would be seeing that colleage the next day. Furthermore, at dinner that night, my Dad commented how much the day felt like Friday. I nearly choked. All this was without my telling them of my feelings. He went on to say that a few ppl in his office had made the same mistake throughout the day. Coincidence? I think not! Let's just wait until the end of the year when the Australia (and perhaps other) governments are presenting record gains in gross domestic product. Then, and only then we shall know...
On a more serious note... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my amazing, gorgeous girl Kath :D
* All of the above were actual events, or based on actual events. Any similarities between the characters mentioned above, and real peaple (living or dead) was fully intended. Deal with it.

11:54 pm - The First Essay
|
The following are possible conclusions to Kath's discovery if a replica journal (or IdentJourn TM):
1) Kath has an identical clone kept secret from her since birth. This clone has been raised in identical circumstance and environment to Kath, thus facilitating the identical brainworks involved in not only liking the same things, but thinking the same things at exactly the same time. This postulate is most probably part of a secret government plan which almost certainly involves aliens.
2) Kath has another identity, of which she is not aware. This identity takes hold at night when Kath believes to herself she is "sleeping", ala Fight Club. This second identity thus makes the same posts, unaware of the fact that they have already been posted by the first Kath. Clearly, the habits of the night Kath show us her secret desires to rate the voluptuousness of other persons lips. This also leads us to question which is the real Kath.
3) Finally, the second diary could be from another dimension. A brief (several hours only) fracture in the space-time continuium (clearly caused by George Bush saying something mildly intelligent) created a cross dimentional hyperlink between our web and the alternate journal. This theory does well to explain the fact that picture links did not work, as well as the fact that the journal in subject disappeared a few short hours after its discovery.
Further analysis will obviously be required before a conclusion may be reached, however option three tends to hold weight for its solving of several of the facts even before researched more thouroughly. Of course, it could just be that there are some sickos on the net... no, no that couldn't be it at all. What was I thinking?

9:26 pm - Poetic Rambling
|
I saw the emo poet society
community today. It was a
very enlightening experience.
I felt like it was a turning
point in my life, on towards
a better mind and spir..........
I can't do this shit any further. I'm sorry but breaking a depressed rant into stanzas makes poetry not. Deal.
