HERE

An open letter.

Have you ever had that feeling, where you just really want to shout something at someone, but you can't? Have you ever been so mad at someone that you make up speeches in your head, and imagine yourself delivering those speaches to the person it's directed at, while the person just sort of stands/sits thare, mouth gaping, looking like an idiot, being totally pwnd?

I have. In fact I'm feeling that quite a lot recently. I made up a pretty decent speach in my head today, as a matter of fact, that I have composed as a letter for you all to enjoy. It goes something like this:


Dear You.
Could you kindly shove your head up your own a**?
It's just that you are positively the most dreadful, uninteresting and all-round awful person I know, and I'd really like it if you just generally kept yourself as far away from me as possible, if you could. So would you please make an effort to just sort of not be anywhere near me, at all times? I sure as hell make an effort to be as far away from you as I physically can at any given point in my life.
Yours hatefully,
   -Me.

Blog from the bathroom

Yes, it seems that someone has locked me inside my school's men's big bathroom. Oh well, guess I'll just blog whilst I await my saviour!

So I decided to give you a bit of a heads-up on a video that's about to come out. We should finish editing today and the video should go viral today or tomorrow, and will of course be embedded here for your viewing pleasure^^

Me and Bryndís are sending in a commission for this competition right here, hosted by AmazingPhil and MyCityDeal.

So, I am hopefully getting out of here soon, be sure to subscribe to be able to view the video as soon as it comes out!

P.S. Along with the video I made a list of all the things we did wrong...

Oh! There, I'm out of the bathroom, 20 fucking minutes, took you a while guys!!!...

...
what was I saying?...

Oh, yes I made a list and then converted it to a how-to guide which I will post so you guys wont make the same mistakes as we did if you want to make a similar video! xD

Harpa, and a link, and a edit!!

-Edit: I apparently totally forgot to explain: "Why "Harpa"  " xD
On the 22nd of april Icelanders celebrate the coming of spring with the official "First day of summer". Almost every single Icelander has at some point thought to him/herself  "Who the fuck got the idea of having the first day of summer IN APRIL". Well, you see, the origin of this celebration is this: In the old icelandic calendar what now is 22nd of may was then the first day of the old icelandic month Harpa. So, the summer starts in the month of Harpa and  the month is celebrated as it comes. Therefor we have a celebration on the first of Harpa, the month of spring. But oh-noes! We now have a different calendar paired up with an old calendar-based celebration :/ What do we do? We keep the date of the celebration ('cause you don't just CHANGE tradition) and instead of shouting "Harpa, the month of summer is here" we freeze our asses off downtown celebrating "The first day of summer" xD

Hello good people!
The playlist for Harpa is up and running. To listen to our chosen tunes for this month simply press the play button on our mini-player on the right hand side of this site.
If the first song isn't exactly your style, just hit next and listen to a song I just recently discovered. It's really cool and the electric piano keeps my foot tapping throughout the whole song.

Harpa:

• Dude I Totally Miss You(you know who you are) - Tenacious D
• Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones
• Venus - Shocking Blue

If you want to see last month's playlist you can find it here.

If you want to get your own playlist go to singingbox.org.

If you want to download individual tunes I personally recommend BeeMP3.com.

If you want to waste some time you can check out this site.

Enjoy!

Hi there, faithful follower! 42% V here. Please excuse my partner, and his spelling errors. He's very tired, and is at the moment unaware that there is a difference between the words "now" and "know". I've tried to fix the biggest errors, but I am also somewhat exhausted. Enjoy his psot.. ptos... posssstttt... enjoy the blog!

I am following quite a few sites on the internet, and nothing annoys me more than irregular posting. You know, when you check a particular site daily for a week, then give up, come back on week 2 and realize that you missed 4 posts -.-

The reason why I bring this up is due to OUR unfaithful posting. BUT NO MORE!!! You can make the whole phenomenon of irregular posting far less annoying... by subscribing! Yes, indeed,  you can now subscribe to our posts and this particular post will tell you how! :D

=3 and SuchTweetSorrow

What's this? Two updates in one day? Can it be possibly true?! Okay, so this is me personally apologizing for blowing you guys off for most of the week by giving you two posts. (Also, this one's not just an excuse for not putting up posts.) Please forgive us. There. Now for the actual blog.

I recently joined Twitter. Mostly because it's the easiest way to stalk celebrities.

Alright, so I joined it partly because Ray William Johnson of Equals Three fame uses it to update his fans with what's going on and if there's a new video out, and partly because I like writing short yet catchy updates. That is, if I can find anything funny to write.

Ray William Johnson's a funny guy, and his show basically revolves around showing 2-4 extremely popular (or "viral") videos and analyzing (is that correctly spelled?) them using standard internet humor, with frequent "your mom" jokes, and sexist remarks. (But I'm pretty sure that's a joke though... right?) He's got some really funny running gags, and a hilarious character, The Troll, that anyone that has ever seen any comments on the internet ever should be able to recognize.

But to be fair, I think it's really just something you ought to see for yourselves. Here's Ray's latest =3 video, by the way, that came out last thursday. (There's a new one to be released today, but I can't be bothered to actually wait for it.) If you like it, chances are you'll like all his other videos. They're pretty much the same.



But back to the subject of Twitter! After having joined, only this week, I found out about Such Tweet Sorrow. I'm going to assume you're familiar with the play Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare, right? Well Such Tweet Sorrow is a modern production of Romeo & Juliet... On Twitter! That's right! This is no joke! There are six characters, and we follow their lives day by day for five weeks. It's in real-time, and I've been following them since day six or seven. It started April 10th.

If you're not already following the story, I suggest you start now. It's not too late: Romeo and Juliet haven't even met yet! Read up on the story so far here and click all the characters (listed in the sidebar of the website) to follow them.

Stay classy,

P.S. Coming up sometime this week (i.e. whenever I can actually be buggered): Runic Magic: A how-to guide. I've only got a few minor details to figure out, and then it's ready to be posted. So, like... look forward to that.

Typical failblog and a new Game of The Week

Before all the boring stuff; THE GAME
Yeah, I know, I know! Every other blog post out there only serves the purpose of promising more posts... and I am sorry to tell you that this is one of them. This is an excuse-a-blog too! Wow, I'm writing everything we hate in blog posts IN ONE POST! Yipee!

No, for real, spring finals are coming up. There is a lot of studying, procrastinating and panicking about to happen! So traffic is going to be sloooooow.

Nonetheless I will try to keep this sucker alive over the finals!

I can't believe it's not butter!

Every time we start writing a post for this site it gets saved as a draft. If we don't finish writing or simply give up on posting it it is still showed on your admin-site along with the full post list. In this coming week we are going to complete those drafts!

To make sure you keep checking this site (like you have been doing) this is the list:

Yawn!

Góðann daginn!
Núna kemur síðan upp úr löngum dvala, ellefu dagar er eins og heilt vetrarfrí fyrir síðu sem þessa!

Good morning!
Wow! Eleven days on the internet is a lot of time! But rest assured,  42-percent has now awaken from a long sleep and is ready for action!

Look forward to an action-packed week. We have a new game of the week, playlist update, two big blogs and a few minor ones and hopefully a youtube video by the end of the month!

Do be aware, though, that the spring finals are coming up, but we'll try to keep a steady stream of AWESOME flowing your way!

Have a good weekend!

I am posting this just because I'm sick (ha-ha, no, I'm actually sick. Which is why I'm allowed to post at 4:43 in the morning. I was asleep all day.) of looking at that video embed every time I opened the site. Ima find something interesting for y'all to look at, yo!

*looks*

There must be something... Oh, here we go!

Okay, I know you've all seen demotivational posters, right? They look something like this.

And if you haven't been living under a rock since God invented the internet (ha-ha, it's funny because I'm at atheist) you'll also have come across lolcats, and probably other funny pictures with lolspeak written on them.

Well, haven't you ever wanted to make one of your own in a fast and easy way? I did, so I did what I usually do when I want something: I Google it. (Also applies to celebreties I have crushes on, and people I'm stalking.) And, because I'm a l33t h4x0r (no I'm not) I found what I was looking for!

I actually created both these pictures in about five minutes (that includes the time it took me to find the images on Google and uploading the final results to Photobucket). Yes I'm aware that that "the" should be a "teh", but gimme a break! I'm really sick and it's five in the morning! I did this via automotivator and roflbot, respectively. How do they work? Simple. Click the link(s), upload a picture, and write something funny! I've seen crap demotive-makers and lolcat-makers on the internet, but these are actually really good. They're really user-friendly and easy to use, and most importantly, they produce really good- and authentic-looking pictures!
They both belong to the website Wigflip, a site that, upon further inspection, appears to be very neat indeed. They have this thing called the signbot, that... well it's pretty darn obvious isn't it?

You know who you are.

Soooo yeah. You now know how to create your very own demotivational poster, lolcat, loldog or lol-any-sort-of-animal-you-found-a-funny-picture-of. You're welcome. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try and actually fall asleep before my mom wakes up for work.

Psychopathy

I just recently got to know the phenomenon of psychopathy. It is basically the word for "he/she who doesn't feel guilt and/or remorse like most other people". There is a scale, a test, a definition, extreme cases and everything! I recommend taking some time to check out this... thing...

• wikipedia
• Are you a psychopath? Test
• House M.D. -> Episode 11, Season 06: "Remorse"
• link
• scientific american

This, like most psyche-evaluations on the internet, can be mis-used and misinterpreted, so if you score over average on this test it doesn't necessarily mean you have psychopathy! If however you score relatively high  you should talk to your parents and maybe a psychiatrist.

Apparently psychopathy is one of those thing which you either have or you don't. Although you may show symptoms of psychopathy, there are many other reasons other than being a psychopath as to why you would show these symptoms. I for one have ADHD and just by adjusting my answers a little bit I could probably diagnose myself a psychopath, or being bi-polar or just plain damn weird in the head! xD

General babbling.

Hi there.

I know we haven't been all that active/interesting recently, but please excuse us. We're both pretty busy. In the meantime you can look forward to a revised version of the book-blog! Yay for that! We've been resizing the site recently, so the formatting's f*cked, and I also need to go over the app list and fix it. It's a good list, but some items need replacing/removing, and some new ones need mentioning, so don't take the old one too seriously.

And since this is a rather uninteresting post, have a picture and a link!

Oh wait. no, here it is.
