// your words can cut me through; dismantle me down
Bad insomnia (tossing and turning from midnight until four AM, what the fuck) plus caffeine equals one very nutty girl waving her arms like a stoned hippie in her room to Snow Patrol's "You're All I Have".
I pestered the operations office until they told me what was going on with the mailbox thing. I finally got an answer. My tax file number might be coming in a few more weeks. My Community Card... I'll have to ask about that. As for my invoice... hahaha. They were like, "Are you sponsored by the Malaysian Bank of blah?" and I was like, "What? No," and they were like, "But on our system it says that you're sponsored. Which means that you don't have to pay." I was like, "But... I didn't apply for any... *blinks* Well okay then, if you say so." They were like, "Well, we'll have to check the system now," and I was like, "Pfft, don't tell the bank that they're sponsoring the wrong person. Heck, I don't mind at all." Which they LOLed at, before getting right back to business.
It turns out, though, that the office mistook me for someone else who (apparently) has an alarmingly similar name to mine. So I've now gotten a nice, shiny new invoice for an awful lot of money, but at least I know that someone isn't actually fucking with my mail. God, that other person who was sponsored must've been even more freaked out than I was. "Why'm I being invoiced for this? Aren't I being sponsored here? GOD DAMN IT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? ;__;"
Cripes, I'm so tired. I could really use a hug right now. *goes to squish the NutPuppy stuffed toy thing*
And now I go to English Lit.
edit: I'm really clever and thought that I posted this when I didn't.
DEBBIE. OMFG I LOVE YOU BABEH. ♥ I GOT THE MAE CD. AND I FEEL TOTALLY RETARDED BECAUSE I LEFT CORINNE BAILEY RAE AT HOME, SDKFNSKFS. You are clever for sending it to HK, lmao. My mom courier'd it over along with documents that she needed my signature on.
Anberlin is, for some reason, a band that popped up once I put Mae into the CD player thing. It's... really sexy. o__o I wonder if anyone in Monash has music by them.
edit2: No one has the new album, but hey. I do believe that I'l be heading into the city on Sunday. So I can get it then. ♥
edit3: Alan Dilnot read this short story to us in our English lecture. I thought it was funny. XD
At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, the president, Dr. Don Harper Mills, astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story:
On March 23, 1994, the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. The decedent had jumped from the top of a ten story building intending to commit suicide. He left a note to that effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been installed just below at the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
"Ordinarily", Dr. Mills continued, "a person who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended" is still defined as committing suicide. That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below at street level, but that his suicide attempt probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands. The room on the ninth floor from whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously, and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window striking Mr. Opus.
When one intends to kill subject A, but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. When confronted with the murder charge, the old man and his wife were both adamant. They both said they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man said it was his long-standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore, the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple’s son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son’s financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus. Now comes the exquisite twist. Further investigation revealed that the son was in fact Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother’s murder. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son had actually murdered himself so the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.
