PEPPER

I work part-time at a fast-food service that sells Asian foods and stuff, and I’ve discovered that complaints are only made when I’m the server! Like yesterday, a girl comes up to me and complains about there being too much pepper in the spring rolls, and that we should ask the customer if they want pepper on their food being serving it to them, as some may be allergic. But the clincher is, we don’t even have pepper in the spring roll, nor will we ever! Jeez, humans are so stupid sometimes. xx Peppercorn Swirls

Screw This – I Can’t Think of a Title!

Hello and welcome to the new & improved blog from Pepper! Over my two-week blogging hiatus, I realised I needed a change. No, I’m not talkin’ about clothes here; I mean I think I’ll change my blogging style.
Has anyone else noticed that lately all I’ve been writing are lists & tags? Well, that’s the thing. I’ve decided to make this blog all about lists (with your occasional random musings). Don’t expect it to be daily - I’m far too lazy to pull that off. It’s gonna be a bit less impersonal and you may actually find out somethings about me (shock, horror).
Thankyou for weatherin’ out the storm. The gods will reward you finely. xx Peppercorn Swirls

Hear it. Play it. Watch it. See it.

Four random things I think everybody should love.

1) Selena Gomez’s debut. (Actually, it’s Selena Gomez AND THE SCENE but come one – what kind of a band name is that?!) The songs on it are electro-pop, mainly. My favourites are Naturally and Crush, which isn’t that original of me, I know. But those songs rock.
2) Rebubbled. Go play it; it’s addictively evil. Basically, there are bubbles floating about the screen which you must pop using a random chain thing, or else they’ll kill you. (Which they do a lot.)
3) Glee. Now, when I say this, keep in mind that I’m as mainstream as the “popular” kids, FTB, and all that. But this show is pure genius. Addictive, really.
4) Paranormal Activity. It’s the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in ages. Go watch it for a major laugh – it’s no where near scary! All you see in the movie are two people lying in bed, the only scary part being where they get out :O. xx Peppercorn Swirls

Things to do before I die

1. Fall in love

22. Visit every continent in the world
23. Sleep on a beach under the stars
24. Teach someone to read
25. Fail a subject purposely
26. Buy my own motorbike
27. Break my collarbone (Accidentally)
28. Enter a pageant of some sort
29. Be a very successful architect
30. Run a marathon
31. Create my own family (Through marriage and having kids. Not on Sims)
32. Die happily at an old age

It’s very dodgy, but meh: These are the things I’d like to do before I die. xx Peppercorn Swirls

I’m a geek, not a freak or a gleek

I hate labels. Cool, Emo, Floater, Goth, Hippie, Jock, Loner, Loser, Nerd, Popular, Prep, Rebel, Stoner, Tool..... They are the only ones I can think of at the moment. But I’m such a hypocrite: I label people all the time. Once, a few friends & I drew up a map which incorporated each clique & their stereotype. But we couldn’t decide what our group’s stereotype was. We’re not popular (five peeps is hardly there), and we’re not cool or stoners. My bestie Ann dresses like an emo, but she acts preppy. My other bestie, Una, always dresses indie & hippy like, but is a total rebel, always getting into trouble. Then there’s BB -- A purple-haired freak who acts like a tool and wears brands such as Nike, Adidas, & Puma.
Maybe we’re losers?
These labels have got me feeling insignificant lately – I’m actually the “smart” gal, but it’s horrible when it’s the only thing people see you as & refuse to get to know you a lil’ bit better. Does anyone else get that? I’m sure heaps of people do.
I hate labels.

By the way, do y’all like my new header? My pal Blaize made it for me on a Windows program called Real Draw PRO; she wanted to draw it then scan it, but I stopped that from happenin’ (lol)! I’d prefer to have a simple, hideous header than a complex, good-lookin’ one. xx Peppercorn Swirls

Have a great holidays, people! xx Peppercorn Swirls

Gary Unmarried took over Amazing Race’s time, pushing TV Burp to 9.30. GRRR...!

No, I didn’t fall off an elefant. But I wish I did. I don’t know who started those rumours at school; it’s def not true. I did ride an elefant on my holiday in Africa last month+week though, & emailed a pic to my pal Ann of it. Maybe, no... Ann’s not like that. I think. However, I did shatter my bones. In Tasmania. Last Month. It’s still bandaged.
I’ve got six CDs to import. *Yay* Finally, songs on my “iPod”. I’m too lazy to download songs :P
Okay so anyways, today I went to MT school. Yeh, next week’s oral so we did basically oral the whole day. During the period BB lost her voice, so she couldn’t talk – literally she was talkin’ sooo softly. Like mime. Until after class break when she finally got her voice back, haha.
Changed from Extension Science1 to some photography course & took photos with my digital when sir wasn’t lookin’. Got to upload them soon, but again, too lazy.
I’m also too lazy to change my blog skin, which is annoying me at the moment, but I guess I shouldn’t waste time on it ‘cause I take 4ever to choose a decent template.
And I’m debating over whether or not to change my URL, or maybe creatin’ a new blog entirely where I try to post often but fail miserably ‘cause I’m too lazy, have friends over 12/4, are addicted to Myspace/Facebook/Twitter/OceanUp/Neopets, and always usually have nothin’ better to talk ‘bout save for H&A, T-Swift, school, The Tings, and playing my bass which I’m still learnin’ how to play. Oh well.
peace out. xx Peppercorn Swirls

Why Are Humans So Annoying?!

Just a quick hello...

Sorry about the irregular posting.
But Happy birthday Blogger! 10. That's old! lol. Double digits... xx Peppercorn Swirls

I’m a nerd at English. But it’s fun being smart!

My English teacher handed this hilario sheet of info yesterday. Here’s a copy for you to read!:

THE LEANGUAGE PROBLEM !!!!!!!

THE EUROPEAN COMMISION HAS JUST ANNOUNCED AN AGREEMENT, WHEREBY ENGLISH WILL BE THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, RATHER THAN GERMAN, WHICH WAS THE OTHER POSSIVILITY.
AS PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS, THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT CONCEDED THAT ENGLISH SPELLING HAD SOME ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, AND HAS ACCEPTED A 5-YEAR PHASE-IN PLAN THAT WOULD BE KNOWN AS “EURO-ENGLISH.”
IN THE FIRST YEAR, “S” WILL REPLACE THE SOFT “C”. SERTAINLY THIS WILL MAKE THE SIVIL SERVANTS JUMP FOR JOY. THE HARD “C” WILL BE DROPED IN FAVOUR OF “K”. THIS SHOULD KLEAR UP KONFUSION, AND KEYBOARDS KAN HAVE ONE LESS LETTER. THERE WILL BE GROWING PUBLIK ENTHUSIASM IN THE SEKOND YEAR WHEN THE TROUBLESOME “PH” WILL BE REPLACED WITH “F”. THIS WILL MAKE WORDS LIKE FOTOGRAF 20% SHORTER.
IN THE THIRD YEAR, PUBLIK AKSEPTANSE OF THE NEW SPELLING KAN BE EXPEKTED TO REACH THE STAGE WHERE MORE KOMPLIKATED CHANGES ARE POSSIBLE.
GOVERNMENTS WILL ENKOURAGE THE REMOVAL OF DOUBLE LETTERS, WHICH HAVE ALWAYS BEN A DETERRENT TO AKURATE SPELLING.
ALSO, AL WIL AGRE THAT THE HORIBL MES OF THE SILENT “E” IN THE LANGUAGE IS DISGRESFUL, AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY.
BY THE FOURTH YEAR, PEOPL WIL BE RESERTIV TO STEPS SUCH AS REPLASING “TH” WITH “Z” AND “W” WITH “V”.
DURING SE FIFZ YER, ZE UNESARY “O” KAN BE DROPD FROM VORDS KONTAING “OU”, AND AFTER ZUZ FIFZ YER, VE VIL HAV A REIL SENSIBL RITEN STYL. ZER WIL BE NO MOR TRUBL OR DIFIKULTIS, AND EVRIVIN VIL FIND IT EZI TU UNDERSTAND ECH OZA. ZE DREM OF A UNITED UROP VIL FINALI KUM TRU.
UND EFTER ZE FIFZ YER, VE VIL AL BE SPEKING GERMAN LIK ZEY VUNTED IN ZE FORST PLAS, !!!!!!!!!!!!! xx Peppercorn Swirls

Peppercorn is Back From Her Four-Week Hiatus

I’ve discovered this new thing where I only post twice a month. Like I say in every post: It’s due to my laziness. I’ve changed “Fortnitely Express” to “Monthly Express”. It doesn’t have the same taste as the initial, but that doesn’t bother me! Now, to commence on today’s post...

Epic Stuffs About Me:
I bleached my hair – again. I’m gunna be forever blonde. But I’m not workin’ up to the “blonde reputation”.
I divorced my husband.
Nah, just jokin’. The latter didn’t actually happen. I’m only 15.
I shattered my knee during bungee jumpin’ in Tassie. It’s epic. I lost my footing & a heavy rock fell on it. Ouch.
I started reading other blogs. A few are: Frangipani Princess, Live. Laugh. Love., *this daisy, Kissable 94. They are awesome.
One of my oldest friends, Ann, moved to Urunga (a hole) 2 days ago. So sad. I think I’m gunna cry. *sob*
I want a tattoo. Friends keep sayin’ that after I get 1, I wouldn’t want it no more. Well what I say to that is: When I turn 18, I’ll prove y’all wrong!
Dislocated my shoulder bone. Had to get needles. It all hurt. I’m turnin’ out to be such a klutz!
One of my besties is sick. Her twin sis told me she’s in hospital with a bad flu. Haven’t spoken or visited her yet. I hope it’s not the swine flu influenza. I really, really, really, hope she gets better. Very soon. xx Peppercorn Swirls

Edit: I need to add something – I broke my right pinkie (little finger). On Monday 17th. It hurt so bad! Owwwh.
