Thinking in British

I have successfully managed to waste a day. I had this brilliant, though completely pointless, conversation with Jared about it:

Jared: What are you procrastinating?
Me: I don't even know.
Jared: Then it's not procrastinating
Me: I'm procrastinating finding out.
Jared: Finding out...
Me: What I'm procrastinating.
Jared: In that case, you're a tad of a wreck.
Me: Ahh. I suppose I am. Though as I haven't yet discovered how poorly off I am yet, I am content to continue my procrastination.

Funny side note: I've begun to think in a British accent. I just noticed that and it's actually really funny listening to myself think. Perhaps I should elaborate. Well, Sonam successfully got me crushing on Alex Day <3 which subsequently led me to discovering, and developing crush #2 on Charlie McDonnell <3. Therein would be the source of my procrastination for the day, along with The Next Great Baker. After an entire day of watching Alex and Charlie's videos (and Tom's, though I only love him in Alex and Charlie's videos and not his own; beats me why), I have found myself incapable of not thinking in a British accent.

This reminds me of a question I was once asked by my friend Sophie. It's been a few years now since she asked me this rather insignificant question, but for some reason it stuck with me. She asked, "What language do you think in? Chinese or English?" I recall saying how I wasn't sure, and proceeded to attempt to catch myself thinking for a few days afterwards. The only point to that story really, was that I am now thinking in a British accent and it is both cool and slightly off putting.

It's strange to think of how malleable our minds are. This one time in China, I was staying with my cousin when I found this old Game Boy (is it just me or does Game Boy look really strange written out?) and the two of us proceeded to play this ancient Pikachu game nonstop for days straight. It was like Super Mario Bros but with Pikachu and black and white. Anyhow, this game had a very distinct "ding" sound that would sound whenever a coin box was hit, much like in most Mario games. However, a week later, I remember trying to sleep, and all I could hear was the music and "ding" sounds from the game. It really freaked me out and I stopped playing. However, for days afterwards, both while awake and asleep, all I'd hear were those sounds. I don't really know how to convey just how terrified and weirded out I was. I was honestly frightened that I'd never be able to stop hearing those sounds.

Again, I don't know why I shared that story, but I did, so there. What's different from this case with the British accent, I'm just imposing it upon my thoughts. It's not like I'm hearing their voices and what they're saying; just my voice and my thoughts in a British accent although I don't know if I could stop it. I suppose the only solution would be to watch copious quantities of Next Great Baker to offset it. And if that doesn't work, there's always Kdramas :P I think it'd be hard to impose my thoughts into a foreign language, but then again, I suppose anything's possible. Anywho, it's all good for the time being. Unlike the Pikachu situation, these sounds aren't freaking me out, and I'm kind of enjoying the
random

Thinking in British

It better be worth watching!

I had a lot to share from my day yesterday, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to blog. You know, because I was busy living my life and all that jazz. In any case, today's blog will in large part be a random compilation of things from yesterday and today.

Yair's Yarns:

In IPLE, Mr. Brodman posed the presenting group with the difficult question of "What's the difference between freedom and liberty?" After some moments of deep thinking and silence from the group as they pondered this impossible riddle, Yair walked up to home plate and took one for the team. His ever so intelligent response: "The spelling?"

Lard from the Lunchroom:

Yesterday they were serving the hands down nastiest looking lunch ever - other than perhaps those strange meat skewers they tried feeding us once or twice. I'm not certain why, but I found this lunch hilarious. On seeing it, I literally broke down laughing -> Aakash will be my witness that upon seeing Chris's lunch I almost died. In response to my question as to "What the hell is that?", Chris responded, "It looks like cat food..."

Yo Yoselevich:

In stat today, we learned about extrapolation. Then Mrs. Y goes, "naturally the opposite would be..." and the class goes "interpolation". Wtf? I thought it'd be intrapolation. Why does interpolation get to be inter? Then extrapolation should be exterpolation, duh. These math peoples have really got to learn their English!

Hangin' with Hamlet:

Let me just say that the movie is completely ruined by this dude:

In the words of Sonam, "This guy's such a tool!"

Buzz from Bianca:

"Beyonce has the best weaves. They use her in shampoo commercials! That's not her real hair! People are just stupid."

*side note: watch the documentary Good Hair by Chris Rock. I watched it last year and I found it fascinating! Learned so much :D

Armaan's Words of Wisdom:

It doesn't matter if you're stoned or hammered, just make sure you follow Kyleigh's Law, and get out of that party before 11:00. You don't want to be caught on the road after hours :P Just Kidding!

His legit pearl of counsel: "One day your life is going to flash before your eyes;
