So, I feel like writing a blog.
I have not enough inspiration to make it flow nicely. So, my life lately:- Learning Russian and Swedish. My title means "my hovercraft is full of eels" in Russian. I tried to post it in Cyrillic but it wouldn't work.- Listening to folk metal and some other music.- I have read Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Notes from Underground by Dostoevsky. Also been reading books by Chuck Palahniuk because I found five of his books together second hand for $12 AUD, I only wanted Fight Club but I bought them all. Read some of The Picture of Dorian Grey.- Crappy computer is running ubuntu now- Moved house and am currently sitting on my corner on the floor with my computer in this little coffee table, just so I can have internet, because my mum doesn't want cables going across the house and I haven't yet figured out how to configure wireless with ubuntu. She said it's like going back the dark ages if you can't have wireless, and called my OS useless because of that. Hoping this weird set up isn't causing permanent damage to my back.- Met this guy called Josh who is gay.- Recommended he join 64digits. He goes by the name of s001911- I am planning to build a massive fort out of cardboard boxes at school, for an art project. It's post-modernism, anything goes. For this assignment we have to be questioning something. All I know is I'm building a fort, and there will be a flag. My art teacher thinks it's a brilliant idea. I have a few different ideas for the fort..I was thinking I could stay inside the fort, and have this tiny little entrance you have to crawl through, and watch to see if any curious passers-by will crawl through, and once they are inside, have a voice saying something like "congratulations, you have completed the first step of the initiation process" and put a cloak around them.I could have a code of conduct or uniform code for the fort, probably a parody of the schools one. I want it to be weird and interesting. Some of my friends might bring lightsabers and what not. I have quite a bit of support with this.Any ideas for what I could put on the flag?I intend on filming all of this.Moi Sudno Na Vizdushnoy Podushke Polno Ugrey

Dude, it was Hungarian in Monty Python.
Yes..
russian and swedish? any reason? also i take it you live in australia then?
I do live in Australia.
I always liked the way Cyrillic looked, so I taught it to myself from sheets I printed out, and henceforth found pleasure in reading Russian words and phrases.. I heard Russian is a good language for science. I don't know why. I like Dostoevsky and would like to someday read his books in their original language.I also like Swedish accents. Also, Swedes just seem like interesting people. Some website criticising Socialism said that even though they have low levels of crime and a notable lack of crazy people on the streets, they said the craziness is evenly distributed among the population. I think that is quite awesome. I've never seen anyone in Australia who likes making LARP videos to folk metal <_< A lot of bands I listen to come from Sweden. Not talking about Abba, more like melodic death metal bands.. Swedish is partially intelligible with Danish and Norwegian too. But I heard everyone in Sweden speaks English anyway, so there's not really much use. Maybe I just want to know what Finntroll are saying without googling their lyrics. But maybe I don't want to know.. There are too many languages that interest me, pretty much every major language as well as German and Japanese, as well as an artificial language just because I think they're cool.oh hai. Yeah swedish are weird and do mostly speak english. but thats why i like them :D i just wouldnt have an urge to learn russian. (though it is different from the european languages).
i wouldnt want to speak australlian either :oDostoevsky is really cool, I think; my favorite 19th century writer for sure.
Anyway your fort idea sounds pretty cool. I'm sure you've done the project already but you should have put a walrus on the flag, just saying.
