Sam is my Hero Version 4. If you read one of her past blog posts you will see the descriptions of Hero Version 1 (the Original Prototype), Hero Version 2 (the smaller, faster, technologically advanced model) and Hero Version 3 (the robust model for heavy duty work).
Sam is Hero Version 4, the robust but small, fast-acting, self-sacrificial model that acts with no hesitations, no fears and very little self-regard. Also she can open jars.
Here is what happened. A giant ugly hideous cockroach of doom came into my bedroom to ruin my life and complete my demise. I freaked. I tried to kill it. I failed. It ran UNDER MY BED! Whimpering like some puppy that has been beaten and nearly destroyed, I called out, "Sam, a cockroach is in my room."
Sam heard the call for a hero. With confident steps she strode into my room, lifted my bed like it was nothing, moved my bed around trying to find the evil giant thing, and then proceeded to pull my bed apart until she had found it and crushed it.
She even cleaned up afterwards.
And then she sprayed my bed with vast amounts of flyspray, even though she's allergic to it. The only contribution I made was to then spray suspect places such as the corners, window and doorway (so anything that crosses the threshold will die).
As a result of all the spray neither of us could stay near my room that night. I still haven't slept there. I need to sterilise all my belongings.
I hate cockroaches.

My song is love
I promised poems on this blog and failed to deliver, so to make up for it here is one. I cheated a little, but you can do this too!
How to play this game: Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty-one songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-second is the title. I added punctuation to the ends of the lines.
My song is love
The empire will fall like they planned on,
Here we are searching for a sign.
Slow down.
He had a plan to kill you all along.
If you knew what I know would you try?
In my arms you lie,
On a Sunday,
Your etiquette;
The moment you opened your heart I knew.
Waiting for your call,
All of us now bent as we fall.
Stevie left on a Friday too.
Lowering the standards-
Not surprised ‘cos I always knew
You and me used to be together.
He’ll come in and sit by me.
This’ll take some explaining:
It’s all a lie!
Every time I wake up on my own
This is the last time that I will say these words:
How can you ask for forgiveness?

The Pessimist's Guide to Making New Years Resolutions
Apparently I'm a pessimist (I'd rather optimistically call myself a realist), so I thought I'd share my pessimistic resolutions with the world. And here they are:
...
That's right. I didn't make any. Past attempts at keeping resolutions have proven fruitless, and rather depressing in their fruitlessness, so I thought I'd make it easy on myself and not have any. The way I see it, if I do anything at all this year then I am going above and beyond the goals I set for myself! =D
That, and my body feels too wrecked for me to plan on anything spectacular. I think if I grow closer to God then that alone will be sufficient for the whole year. And if I don't kill my supervisors, then that too is a great achievement.
Anyways, I feel tired so that's it for now.
Happy belated New Years everyone (anyone).

Repeaterbeater
I was told to post something, so here it is: Kallie's opinions of a song on Mew's 2009 album No more stories are told today. I'm sorry. They washed away. No more stories. The world is grey. I'm tired. Let's wash away (that is the title of their album).
The song is Repeaterbeater. Like all Mew songs, it's very strange, but like only some Mew songs, it's also very catchy. Kallie really likes it. It travels (I don't know how to describe this any better, but some songs seem to 'travel' and she loves that!).
And the film clip, although disturbing, is also very cool (to her)! Mainly 'cos her precious Jonas features quite a lot, and (Sam will appreciate the concept behind this) from 3:46 (see video below) they're all soaking wet. Some people look very attractive wet. They also manage to look attractive while having mental breakdowns. Or trying to comfort their overwhelmed friends. Jonas apparently looks attractive doing all these. So here is the clip:
Overall, Kallie thinks the whole album is awesomely cool and she loves it with the intense passion I have for fruit and nut easter eggs. She wants me to point out that while it is difficult to get into the album (typical of Mew, I'd say) you soon get hooked, and everytime you listen you hear something new. Also typical of Mew is that sweet, beautiful innocence with that undercurrent of darkness and urgency.It even has a hidden track (New Terrain in reverse is Nervous- the lyrics of Nervous accurately sum up the theme of Kallie's life, namely being nervous and wishing she'd stayed home in bed).
Kallie would rate it as 16 out of 10, but that's because she can't do maths.
