Miracles do happen!
haha ^. in foosball games anyway - i finally beat Scott last nite woohoo 10-9....amazing comeback for me when he beat me 10-0 not long b4 :P then in our rematch it was 10-7 to him...but yeah i didnt mind haha.And now onto a more serious topic....
Thurs last week EU was invited to go along to this 'peace day' service at the Chapel at uni. If i was to describe it one word it would be 'interesting'. There were people there from different religious groups ie Jewish, Bahai, Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic (i think the purpose of us goin was to 'interact' with these people which we didnt end up doing...left straight after). It was a bit of an eye-opener hearing all the weird and wonderful things some of them talked about (esp the Hindu guy...they seem to be all into 'spirits' etc and he said something bout nature...i kinda switched off after awhile) - altho most of them managed to read an excerpt from whatever book they hold to that talked about peace. The Islamic guy read a section out of the Koran which he proceeded to say in Arabic first and then translated into English - when he said it in Arabic it sounded like some weird kinda chant thing. The main speaker they'd brought in for the service was Ahmed Zhouri (who unbeknown to me has been in the media a bit in recent months - i didnt recognise him) and yeah he spoke for a little while - they'd even printed out what he said to hand out to people that were interested.
Anyway as you would expect at a peace service they kept goin on...and on...and on...about peace and tolerance etc etc It got a bit annoying actually b/c the whole time i was sitting there thinking to myself "there is never goin to be world peace among all these different religions no matter how badly they want it. tolerance does not equal peace necessarily. it seemed like they just want the whole 'all roads lead to heaven' thing". Anyhow the whole experience just made me value Christianity and my faith so much more....
Also i was just reading in the latest Investigate magazine mum got and Ian Wishart has written something that relates to this topic and he made some good points, so will post them on here next time.
Election Mania
Man im so sick of seeing billboards, flyers and all manner of paperwork thats been goin round about voting for such and such lately. At uni last week in particular it was election time for AUSA president (which i did end up voting in). In the leaflets they leave in the lecture theatres one guy runnin for Prez had said that he would aim to 'make Albert Park safer' which i promptly turned into a Tui billboard message haha. i mean what, was he planning on gettin security 24/7 for the park? heh who knows.
neway i better leave it here coz i need to go work on my English assignment...laters

That wasn't a Miracle. It's what you call a broken fooseball table.
why are u complainin about that? it obviously doesnt hinder u guys from winning the majority of the time and i wasnt the one playin on that side - it was already like that :P
and yes it is a miracle from my perspective heh
Good on you Priscilla - but the reds are busted - as shown when I thrashed you 10 - 0 when you were playing as them.
Which makes the 10-9 you beat me by when I was using them sound paltry in comparison!
bro, you still got beats.
mite have just lost some respect right there.
nah.
jono/scott are u still tryin to blame me for the fact that the reds arent working like they used to be? coz i didnt bust them. besides the reds have neva stopped eitha of u b4 - broken or in good condition...and you did say you could (and have many times) beat me whichever side it was you played.
*wonders what it takes to get a genuine congrats :P*
What it takes to get a genuine congrats?
A genuine victory perhaps!! HAHA!
jono/scott are u still tryin to blame me for the fact that the reds arent working like they used to be?
No one ever said anything about you breaking the reds! all i sadi was taht the reds are broken! you can't play an effective game when you are playing reds. hence, as scott said, you didn't score a goal when you were red.
Why did you read so much into my statement?... feeling guilty? :):)
scott: hahaha it was most def. a genuine victory, everyone else else there could see that. i only wish that more people (namely jono x2) coulda been there to witness it)...even if it is the only time i beat you heh. its enuff for me.
jono: no i'm not feeling guilty :p actually i scored 7 points on the reds side when i had my rematch against scott...
If you feel proud beating someone at tennis when they only have a table tennis bat, and you have a proper tennis racket, then good for you!
I prefer to win fair n square - which is why my 10 - 0 victory over you means little since it was impossible almost for you to defend!
Yes i quite agree with the latter (but not the former...for which i think we should just agree to disagree :P) part of your comment there Scotty.
Btw, how on earth did a spammer get a comment on here?? so annoying...it hasnt happened b4. do i have to turn something on/off on my settings on here?
just delete it
