Introducing the new and improved aNnOy-O-mEtEr

Remember those few days that I was really annoyed and pissed off? Well to tell you the truth, I felt like introduciong the annoy-o-meter then, but it always slipped my mind. Either that or I didn't really want anyone to feel sorry for me at the time. Anyway, somehow I've remembered it. Basically what it does is measure my average annoyance level for the day, taking regular measures of the annoyance level every few hours. It looks like this:

[o---------]

So the brackets are the extreme ends of the meter, and the o represents the current annoyance level. The meter above shows that I'm currently not annoyed at all. This does not necesarily mean that I've had a good day, but just shows that I'm not currently annoyed at anyone or anything. Sometimes the annoyance level can have residual effects from previous days, or if the previous annoyance was big enough, the annoyance level could stay high for weeks or months. However, this is fairly unlikely to happen. Stay tuned for changes to the annoy-o-meter.

Anyway, onto today's events. Early start today. Got a ride from Karen, because I thought I shouldn't piss Mel off this week. I don't think I've driven Mel this semester, and thats probably not such a good thing. Hmmm... maybe next year, when theres a possibility of at least some of our timetables being approximately the same. Its good knowing lots of people who live around you and go to the same place everday =) We should start getting more people to drive... like June, and Fi. OO we should get Michael as well, haven't talked to him in ages, its like he's too busy with things everytime I see him. Either that or he REALLY doesn't want to talk to me. Yeh, sometimes I have that effect on people. Hmm.. theres also Wendy, but she looks like she's asleep when she's driving, so I'm not sure if its a good idea to put a bunch of people into her car. Could become quite hazardous. Plus, I haven't seen her in ages either, and I don't even know where she lives except that its around here.

Class was boring as usual. I forgot to bring my glasses, so I couldn't see anything, and like Sam, everyone seems to look better than before. :) Came back to eat lunch, get a haircut, and bum around the rest of the night.

Oh, I finished downloaading Shaun of the dead. So if anyone really wants a copy of it (its in DVD format.. woahhhhhhh ) then just ask.

Whatttt... you haven't driven my lil sister once this sem~!? grrrrr :)

Sounds like a pretty average day at uni - but at least today you had a good excuse for not listening in lectures seeing as you couldn't see either :)

Annoy-o-meter is a pretty cool idea - it's kind of like sticking your current mood/song/temperature on the bottom of your blogs. Speaking of which, maybe i should do that ...
