first: something nerdtastic; second: something creepy

1. Nerdtastic

I LOLed hard at this. Did you? xD;

Found it on Hank Green's tumblr.

2. Creepy

This Man.

CREEPY, I TELL YOU. I got chills when I read about it, and I was surfing the net late at night.

So this is basically what This Man is:

In January 2006, a patient in New York told her psychiatrist that she often dreamt of a man who would give her advice on personal life. This patient later managed to draw a picture of this man (that's what she called the man in her dreams) and gave it to her psychiatrist.

The portrait lay forgotten on the patient's psychiatrist's desk for a few days until another different patient saw it. He told the same psychiatrist that he, too, had often seen this man in his dream. He referred to the guy as This Man.

Intrigued, the psychiatrist distributed the picture to her colleagues who were working on patients with recurring dreams. Later, four patients admitted that they have seen This Man before in their dreams, but none of the four patients knew who he was, and none of the four patients were related to each other in any way.

Now, around 2,000 people from around the world had admitted that they've seen This Man in their dreams. Nothing connects these 2,000 people to each other except for This Man.

O_o

I'm creeped out, aren't you?

Idk if this is some hoax or anything, but nonetheless, I'M CREEPED OUT. SUPER CREEPED OUT.

Google it, the picture of This Man is somewhere there.

I'm astonished that they don't know.

So I just decided to upload a picture of me on my GaiaOnline profile, and for the heck of it, I started searching for threads discussing the hijab on GaiaOnline.

I found this thread and I'm quite surprised at how clueless people are when it comes to the hijab. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, since, well, no one can understand everything, but still. I'm kind of surprised.

So the thread's title was, "If I were a Muslim girl who has to wear a hijab..." and the poster says

"I would shave my head. What's the point of having hair on top of my head if no one can see it? I don't understand why Muslim girls who have to wear the hijab don't just shave off their heads."

And here are some of the replies (all from different users):

"Maybe they enjoy having hair, even if they have to cover it."

"Islam heavily promotes shaving. IDK why hair on the head would be excluded."

And then a genius pops in after googling something and says,

"Okay, according to this site, they can cut their hair but they can't shave it."

Then the conversation went on:

"I was just thinking about this and I would hate to be a Muslim girl, because I love to have long hair. I'd leave it long, longer than the hijab. ^_^ "

"In hot countries, the hijab is made of lighter stuff, so it'll probably just slide off. They probably love their hair."

"Yeah, it's weird, my sister wears the scarf and sometimes gets a haircut, and I ask her what's the point, no one will see it? She said they like to look nice since they don't wear the scarf at home."

And then of course an over-sensitive person who's not capable of a civilized discussion pops in and says,

"Wow, you people are so racist it isn't even funny! I wear a hijab and the point is to preserve my self-respect. RESPECT, something none of you have. Seriously, before you start trash-talking about a religion or culture, why don't you get your facts straight first and actually LEARN."

Then blah blah blah, some arguments over this and then there's this little exchange between two users:

"I'm a Muslim, but wearing the hijab is not required. It's a choice and having several cousins who do wear the hijab, they tell me they keep their hair to make them feel good about themselves and for their husbands. And when they're with other Muslim girls they can pretty much dress up sexily and do their hair and stuff."

"So Muslim girls who wear the hijab in public places can take it off when they're alone with other girls?"

"Yeah, pretty much, as long as there are no men. They can dress up like prostitutes, too, if they want."

And more questions and assumptions and opinions:

"Don't they take it off every so often? It would suck to keep wearing it while you sleep. I mean, damn."

"I think it's because they like their hair and they would feel weird without them..."

"(They don't shave it off) because they wanna feel pretty, like any woman does."

"IDK, I feel sorry for them when it's hot outside and they wear the hijab and the long dress thingy."

And then the thread dies. I wanted to put in my two cents, but the thread's been dead for a year now, so. Yeah. If I could say a word or two, though, I'd tell them that:

1. The concept of covering up in Islam doesn't only involve covering the hair. I think most of them in that thread doesn't understand this. Even if a Muslim woman shaves off her hair, she still has to wear the hijab to cover her bald head, neck, ears, etc. It's not the hair, it's the head, and, well, your entire body except your face and hands.

2. Muslim women can't shave their hair. Look what happened to Sharifah Amani the last time she was bald. I mean, srsly u gais, come on.

3. No, it's not optional. Who told you that? xD

4. No, we don't keep it on all the time, we take it off when we sleep, lol.

5. You can have long hair and still wear the hijab. I know a girl who once grew out her hair past her knees (kan sistel, kan kan kan~ xD).

So yeah. I'm just slightly amused right now~

Finish the song!

Update~?! XD

Yeah, hi there. Blogging just for the sake of updating. So I've finished my exams, and am now currently on a, umm, very long holiday. I've got a long list of what to do and stuff, but I haven't quite started anything yet. Here's the list of things to do:

1. Study for MUET
2. Study for PMR
3. Clean spare room
4. Finish playing "Grasswalk"
5. Reactivate GaiaOnline Quest Thread
6. Finish 20 books by the end of 2011
7. Drive
8. Clean shared bathroom
9. Fix the grammar and spelling of BTQ book

I keep putting off MUET all these years, but I'm taking it next March. I'm kind of nervous about it to be honest, since I didn't really follow any English classes back in UIA. I'm especially nervous about the listening and speaking tests. D:

And yeah, "study for PMR." xD I'm not the one sitting for that exam, obviously - it's Ujai. I haven't really started anything yet, because each time I flipped through the books, I'd get...bored. xD

I should start driving again. In fact, I think I'm driving Ujai to school today~

Afterwards, I'm gonna finish "Grasswalks." YEAH.

Umm. Okay, BYE.

Thank you, Anonymous Nerdfighter.


You made me smile a lot today. Above is a picture of a note I found in my copy of "Paper Towns" (well, technically it's my sister's, since she bought it through Amazon.com).

It's a simple note, but it made me happy today - and I've had a tiring day! The note says, "Reading this book will decrease World Suck. Nerdfighters.com."

You see, this note made me super-duper happy because I live in Malaysia, where it's kinda difficult to find another Nerdfighter - there's a Facebook page for Malaysian Nerdfighters, and that's pretty much it. Maybe it's just that I haven't managed to find a Malaysian Nerdfighter yet....

Anyway, whatever it is - I wasn't expecting to get a Nerdfighter note since my sister bought it online (as mentioned earlier). I thought it's only possible to get these notes in library books or in books purchased directly from a bookstore - not online - but clearly this isn't the case~ :D

I was leafing through the book since the upper corner or the pages were kinda folded (and I disliked that, D: ), so while I unfolded the corners, I flipped through the pages - and I found the green note! I immediately smiled~

I was reading the book after my 3-hour class - which started at 8am, on MONDAY! - so I was kinda tired and sleepy, and I still had another four hours of classes later that day. I was feeling rather unenthusiastic about going to class (chemistry, then maths), so needless to say, the note cheered me up A LOT.

So, thank you, Anonymous Nerdfighter who posted that note in one of the many copies of John Green's Paper Towns. You've made me smile and you're the reason I managed to survived my Monday classes. :D

Now Imma go read the book before continuing my chemistry revision (I just finished revising the haloalkanes topic - next up: alcohols and carbonyl compunds! What fun~! xD)

NERDFIGHTERS FTW!!

Harry Potter, the Gary Stu.


Now, now! Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love Harry Potter - I have *just* recently caught the Potter fever again, around yesterday night, I believe.

I am, however, mainly a fan of the Marauders - especially of James Effing Potter. Yes, that jerk. That toe-rag. That egoistic James Potter. And I know that I am not the only one who absolutely loves the Marauders and the Marauders Era. I know it's just a sub-plot, but it's an awesome sub-plot, yeah? (Better than Twilight's main plot, by the way).

With that said, I might as well inform you that I am not quite a fan of fanfictions that are set in Harry's era. All the Harry Potter fanfictions I have read are a) Marauders-related (preferably, and almost always, James/Lily-related) and b) one-shots (except for highly well-written ones, and these are rare to come across, given how HUGE~ the HP fandom is).

Nonetheless, here I am, blogging about none other than Harry Potter himself.

I remember once ranting about Harry Potter to my roommate. It was late at night and I couldn't sleep, so I decided to list down reasons why I, err, sort of disliked Harry. Now, now - this was obviously an off day for me, because usually I don't have anything against Harry. He's a fantastic boy, a fantastic main character. I mean, JK Rowling is a fantastic author, no? :D

Anyway, anyway...on that night, I listed down reasons why I believe Harry Potter is a Gary Stu. From Urban Dictionary (because that's where the best definitions come from, lol):

Marty-Stu
1. Noun. Male counterpart to the Mary-Sue. Also called Gary-Stu and occasionally "Marty Sam". Often abbreviated to "Stu". An annoyingly "perfect" male fanfiction character. He is usually attractive, mistunderstood, agnsty, and often has some sort of tragic past. He is so perfect as to be nauseating. He usually winds up romantically involved with one or more of the author's favorite characters, saves the day, upstages all of the real characters, etc. Marty-Stus tend to be slightly less common than Mary Sues. Often involved in slash stories.

Now that we've gotten the definition of Gary Stu, I shall now proceed to recall those reasons I came up with that night when I couldn't sleep - the reasons why I believe Harry James Potter is a Gary Stu. I shall make another list as we go on - a check list, derived from none other than the above definition. Let us start.

Harry Potter is a Gary Stu because, in no particular order:

1. His name is in the title of the book, dammit!

So, of course, naturally, he is the lead character. But this is such a horrible reason - you can't simply say a character's a Gary Stu just because his name is in the title. He didn't ask for it!

Right. So. On to the next reason.

2. He is unique, different - even amongst his equals, the wizards and witches in JK Rowling's fantastically-written books.

Harry has a scar on his forehead that sets him apart from everyone else. This scar, a lightning-shaped scar (fancy that), was not any ordinary scar. He obtained it the night the Dark Lord tried to kill him. This scar also symbolises something else - hope for those going against Voldy, and perhaps fear for those supporting Voldy.

Unique stuff like these are usually the things that make up Gary Stus and Mary Sues. They are different. They are not ordinary.

Then again, it wouldn't be a story if it's ordinary, amirite? xD

3. He has natural, rare, even enviable, talents that others do not have.

Yeah, I'm talking about Quidditch! (But really, you can't blame him for having James Awesome Potter as a father, can you? xD)

Quidditch is an extremely famous sport in JK Rowling's universe - fourteen players on broomsticks, six tall hoops for goals (three on opposite sides of the oval field), and four flying balls (the Quaffle - these go through the hoops, and then points would be given to whichever team that puts the Quaffle through the hoop; the Snitch - a tiny, golden ball with wings, extremely fast, and would earn, if I am not mistaken, 150 points to whichever team that catches it first; and the two Bludgers - black balls that zoom around in the air trying to knock players off their brooms).

First-years weren't allowed to be on the Quidditch Team at Hogwarts, however, this was not the case with Harry. The moment he did that crazy diving thing to catch Neville's Remembrall, McGonagall had allowed Harry to be on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

What's more, even in the highly-famous sports, Harry had managed to get the most unique and difficult role: the Seeker.

If that doesn't scream, "GARY STU SPOTTED, OMFG!" to you, I don't know what will, lol!

Other that that, Harry is - sorry, was - also a Parselmouth.

This is a rare thing, if I recall correctly, because being one means you can understand and talk to snakes. What makes Harry's situation rarer is the fact that...well, he shouldn't be able to talk to snakes, because it is genetically passed down, and neither his parents or ancestors were Parselmouths.

He did, however, attain the ability to talk to snakes because Voldy had accidentally transferred bits of his soul to Harry when he tried to kill him...that git. (=..=ll)

4. He gets the rarest gifts from others.

First, the Invisibility Cloak.

Yes, it is his, no doubt about that - but the Cloak is a very rare thing. Again with the rare thing! He's one special snowflake, isn't he?

Of course the Cloak would be rare, because it is, after all, one of the Hallows - and this leads us back to reason number 2, he is unique. Harry is, after all a descendant of the Third Peverell brother - the one mentioned in the famous fairy tale.

Second, the Nimbus Two Thousand.

If I recall correctly, it is against the school rules for first-years to have broomsticks, but then again, Harry was an exception. What could make him more exceptional, you ask? Why, getting the latest model of broomstick, of course! It's only the fastest one, anyway!

Third, the Marauders' Map.

Now this one is quite a puzzle to me. I have been wondering about it since I've first finished reading the third book when I was eleven.

Fred and George Weasley had found the map, correct? It's an amazing device, the Map, because it shows where everyone in the castle is. All in all, it's something worth holding on to. If I were the twins, I would not have let the Map go.

But Fred and George had given the Map to Harry, tell him how to make it work and all, and say, "Hey, go ahead! Take it, it's only the awesomest map ever to exist! Why should we want to keep it?"

And mind you, at that point in the story, none of them knew that the creators of the Map were closely related to Harry rather than the twins, so they couldn't have the, "It belongs to you, anyway, Harry" state of mind.

Another thing that made me frown is: Why should the twins give the Map to Harry, when they had a younger brother who's exactly the same age as Harry, and definitely closer to them? Yeah, I'm talking about Ronald!

It's only fair, you know. Ron was their brother! But, of course, nooooo~ it's only logical that they give it to Harry, right? Right?

Fourth, the Firebolt.

When Draco Malfoy's dad bought the Nimbus Two Thousand and One (or was it Two? Meh...), of course Harry had to have the better model soon - no one deserves to be better than Harry Potter!

5. He gets the girls he likes.

Well, he did get Cho, after his rival had conveniently died. xD

And later, he got Ginny as well. I dunno, if I were Ginny, I'd make it harder for Harry to get me. Ginny had, after all, only been pining for him for...oh, I dunno, forever? And had Harry given her any thought before the sixth book?

Nope.

Then again, Ginny was ready to accept Harry. If I were her...I'd make it difficult. xD

6. He was Dumbledore's favourite student.

I mean, given the chance, Dumbledore would have made Harry prefect instead.

...What is it with people squashing Ron away?! He's an amazing character! D:

But of course Dumbledore would need to stay close to Harry, since he's the Last Hope and all. But. Meh. I mean, for all you know, Ron could be Dumbledore's favourite. Or Hermione - she's smart, right?

7. Of course, he has gold.

He didn't at first, living with the Dursleys and all that - but in the wizarding world, Harry was pretty well-off with the gold his parents had left him.

Why can't he be poor, like Ron? I wonder what would have happened then. It's almost too good to be true: being a special wizard, well-known to everyone, and rich! Isn't that what everyone wants to be? Magical, famous, and rich? lol.

(But alas, again, you cannot blame Harry for having James Awesome Potter as a parent who earned and inherited those gold for Harry~ :D)

---

And now, let us tick off the traits Harry Potter has that fit the definition of a Gary Stu, shall we?

[ ] Annoyingly perfect male
-Alas, this is not true. Harry is described as skinny with messy jet-black hair that never lies flat. Perhaps a feature that made him stood out, other than the scar, were his green eyes.

[ ] Attractive
-Again, he has never been described as 'handsome' like Cedric (No, Mr. Cullen, get back or I swear I'll hex you...) or Bill.

[/] Misunderstood
-This is true about Harry. He was misunderstood a lot of time, in my opinion, and right from the beginning, too: the wizarding world had been buzzing with excitement when Harry first arrived at Hogwarts. The Harry Potter, who survived Voldy's attack and all that - surely this was a powerful boy? Little did they knew that Harry was just as clueless as the rest of the first-years.

-He was misunderstood by a lot of different people on many different occasions: CoS, mistaken as the one who petrified the Basilisk's victims; GoF, jeered at for being the fourth and unwanted Champion; OotP - oh, especially in OotP - misunderstood even by Dumbledore himself, who was scared of the connection between Harry and Voldy; et cetera, et cetera.

[ ] Angsty
-This one is only true in OotP, when the connection between Harry and Voldemort was only starting to take shape. Thank God, Harry wasn't an angsty teen, or else we'll all be losing IQ points reading the books, just the way we'd lose IQ points by reading the Twili -- I mean -- a certain other book. c:

[/] Has some sort of tragic past
-This, of course, is true.

[ ] Perfect as to be nauseating
-Again, thankfully, Harry is not a perfect character.

[ ] Winds up romantically involved with author's favourite character
-We've been told that Hermione acts very much like JK Rowling did when she was young: a know-it-all. We also know that Harry did not end up with Hermione. Why am I saying all this? Because, well, in Twilight (if I may be so bold as to compare these two works), Edward, who is obviously Stephenie Meyer's favourite character, was definitely in love with Bella, who is obviously Meyer herself. But this is not the case with JK Rowling and Harry. ;)

[/] Saves the day
-Oh yes. Yes. All the time, yes.

[/] Upstages all of the real characters
-Well, no. Not really, right? While it is true that Harry shines brighter than Ron, survives Voldemort's attack when James and Lily didn't, lives while Dumbledore dies, triumphs while Voldemort falls, I do not think Harry upstages all of the real characters...OR DO I~?! XD

---

So Harry's score is... 4/9.

I think he did all right~ :D

---

There. I have had my ranting moment. But do you know why I pointed out all this? Because I don't feel that stinging annoyance one would usually feel upon meeting a Gary Stu or a Mary Sue in a book. Yes, it does appear to me like Harry sometimes lacks personalities, like he was too much of a goody-goody two shoes kind of character - but other than that, I really, really enjoyed following Harry's journey, despite everything I had pointed out in this post.

My main point here actually, is this: Harry is, in a way, a Gary Stu, but you can't feel that because JK Rowling is an amazing writer.

OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR TEH LAST MOVIE ZOMG LOLOLOLOL!! D: XD T_T *goes back to reading fanfics*

Friday, May 13, 2011

Well, that took quite a while, didn't it?

Hello, everyone. Is there such a word as everyzero? Because I'm pretty sure no one checks this blog out, lol!

Anyway, I just wanted to blog about something. Wanted to put it in my private blog, but hey. It's something I'd like to share, and no, it's not one of my random, "Y U NO" crap or a GIF of some Red Ranger parading around his friends or anything. It's actually a genuine topic, which is

Death.

You and I, sooner or later, will die. I know you know that, and I know I know that. It's a fact - you see it everyday, on TV and stuff. People dying. Your family members die, your friends die. It's just how the world works.

But do you really understand it when you say you know you're going to die? Do you know what it means to die? It means leaving this world, all your material possessions, even your friends, and perhaps the hardest part is leaving your family behind (assuming you're close with your family, that is).

I dunno how to put this in words, because - well - everyone knows that death will come at some point in their lives. But - but do you understand what it means? You're leaving, it's your turn now! Do you get what I'm trying to say?

It's just funny sometimes. Well, most of the time. When you think of death, sometimes (mostly if you're still young) you would think that, "Yeah, it's a gruesome thing, but my turn is still a long way ahead." Now we all know that that's not true, because death can happen just like that - young or old, once it's time, it's time. Not a second early or late - death will come precisely when it should.

But...do you get what I mean here??

I guess it has - finally - sunk in for me. I am going to die.

This is huge.

This is serious.

Well, it's not like I didn't know I was gonna die - I know I am going to die - but...I just found out I'm going to die!

I came across this very good question once, although I can't quite remember where I found it, or what the exact words were. It's says something like, "Why do you think people are so scared of ghost movies where all the cast members get killed? Why do people run away from that violent serial killer with a knife? It's because we're scared of death. Why else would you run away from it?"

While it's also true that we run away from anything that could potentially hurt and/or kill us because it's our survival instinct, you cannot deny that we do run away from it because we're scared to die.

I know that there are people who would say that they aren't scared of death. Now, they are either a) very, very ready to meet with their Creator, or b) want to appear, I dunno, strong and brave? Well, maybe there are other reasons why people would say they're not scared of death, but I obviously don't know those reasons.

Why shouldn't you be scared of death? It's painful. I hate the thought of being in pain - and the pain you'll feel when you're dying is really intense, right? Even the Angel of Death feels pain when he takes his own life.

Dying also means your time is up. You can't do anything anymore for the hereafter - it's like when the invigilators ask you to put down your pen and stop writing at the end of your final exam. Except, well, death is a huge end of your huge exam - which is life.

Dying means...you have to prepare yourself while you're alive. Hey, it's easier said than done, right? I mean, look at me - I'm 20 this year and I've just recently realised, like, really really realised what it means to die.

But that doesn't make it easier for me to prepare myself for barzakh and the hereafter. It' still so dang difficult to not be lazy. Everyday, I wish I could perform better or concentrate better in my prayers. Sometimes I can concentrate, sometimes I can't.

(...Dad's smoking again. Gotta shut the door. Door's shut!)

Meh, I dunno. This finally came out as a rant, eh? Well, sorry. I just had to share my amazing discovery, which is: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE.

But I wish to see death as a good thing, you know? Like, death: I'm one step closer to meeting my Creator. Wouldn't it be awesome, to have that kind of mentality? To always be ready to die, whenever, wherever?

Yeah. It took me 20 years to realise all this.

WHOAAAA~~~~~~~~~~

It was only when he had attained a great age
that the youngest brother finally took off the Cloak of Invisibility
and gave it to his son.
And then he greeted Death as an old friend,
and went with him gladly, and, equals,
they departed this life.
(The Tale of the Three Brothers)
Well, not the most appropriate thing to quote, but meh.

Why...

...was Orange Caramel's "Bangkok City" stuck in my head when I woke up this morning?

It's so weird - I've NEVER checked any of their songs on YouTube, and I've only heard a snippet of that song on Music Bank. Weird weird weird. xD

Oh! My brother has a blog now. But it's set to private and only some of his friends can read it. Darn it. He's really trying hard to keep us away from his online life, XD. I mean, he has another facebook account and all. Oh well.

So, yesterday, I bumped into Sara Maira working hard at Billion! Came as a surprise to me, really, because I was just turning the corner and I saw her, and she saw me, and I was like, "Hey, I know this person..." and then AH! It's Sara~! :3 She's on a break and all, so yeah.

Ni makcik Fatin Nabila ni entah bile la nak reply my SMS. She wants to borrow my driving-traffic-rule book thingy because she's gonna sit for the computer test soon, but she hasn't told me yet when we can meet up and stuff. =A=ll

Anyway, yeah. I'm just updating for the sake of...updating. I've nothing much to say, really. I have one week of holidays left *tear*.

I haven't updated any of my fanfictions, and I probably won't. Not now, anyway. I dunno, I just don't feel like writing them.

Currently learning David Archuleta's Crush from a YouTube video, also learning JYJ's Nine by ear. I think I can pretty much identify chords and stuff, but the problem is often with making it sound better, like adding intervals and such. I such at that.

Other than that...I made an ASOUE gif! The idea came out of nowhere, really. I was just chillin' on my bed after the trip to Melaka for the engagement, and then it was like - IDEA!! - and I made it. XD Here it is (and, oh, SPOILER WARNING to those who haven't finished reading the series and intend to read the series):

Anyway - GOING TO MIDVALLEY ON WEDNESDAY~!

I honestly don't know what to buy - but MUSIC ESSAY IS ON MY LIST, YEAH!

As for books...I dunno yet, because Along is buying me TONS of books, but I ain't getting 'em til June. I'm thinking Goosebumps because I've been re-reading them! I was in Ujai's room and saw the books on his shelves, dusty and all, and I dunno, I am bored right now (haven't finished Dracula or Gulliver's Travels yet...couldn't bring myself to read them, lol), so I decided to read them.

Once upon a time, those Goosebumps books seemed really long and it took me quite a while to finish them. But now - selak, selak, selak, habis. XD And the stories are simple. If I have a solid idea for a story, I should try to write like that. For young readers, you know.

So yeah. Going to MidValley~! :D

Mood: ecstatic OH YEAH!!!
