Very unmotivated

...I got my final exam tomorrow: chemistry.

People who've been reading my blog for a while now will know that I always struggle with chemistry. It's like, my worst enemy or something. The final boss of my life which due to a bug is unbeatable. Yeah, it's going down tomorrow.

URLs

Like holy tits have you ever been in a conversation with someone and they pasted you a link, and it was THIS BIG?

Like one of those Google links. S/he wants to show you an image, but instead of being a bastard and hotlinking you to it, they copy the link to the page of Google that displays the picture. Like so:
http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1024&bih=873&tbm=isch&tbnid=049H393Kck061M: &imgrefurl=http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1283.html&docid=0VW2y WVJzHbPoM&imgurl=http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/312934main_image_1283-946.jpg &w=946&h=710&ei=O5TCT-mvOsOM0wX59vjFCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=328&vpy=359 &dur=5193&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=119&ty=110&sig=107224979098315068416 &page=1&tbnh=138&tbnw=200&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0,i:101

Twenty things

As Leah, Mark and Hazel did, I am now going to do the thing where I say twenty things which I wouldn't usually dare say.

Disclaimer, before I get started. I'm pretty much diving into this head-first, with no real idea on what to say and whatever. Not only individuals but also groups of people will be addressed. It'll be things I'm either not brave enough to say, don't say out of politeness, or just generally don't want to show how I feel or whatever. (Or things I have said, but not very implicitly.)
...this may or may not get me in bits of trouble here and there, but balls to it, you only live once anyway.

About Me

I figured I should introduce myself again, since the old "about me" page was rather outdated and didn't entirely fit my current me anymore. Here it goes again, then.

The name's Fang, sometimes known as MDFang too due to "Fang" being an already taken username. But fuck that shit, call me Fang. I know, my real name is very easy to come by these days, but I'll stick to using my internet alias when it comes to most things online.

I'm a Blogger, and also a 17-year-old student from The Netherlands. I'll be graduating soon, and then probably head for university to study computer sciences, programming in particular. Still kind of pissing my pants about the whole "going to uni" thing, but I'll get there, I hope.

Programming? That's right, programming. At the moment I'm still most familiar in the area of webdev, but I plan on changing that soon, possibly even before I go to university. I work for Dynaloo Media, coding website designs, updating content, or even tiny tasks such as adding a new widget or making teeny tiny changes. I guess it goes without saying I made the current blog layout all by myself, too.
Don't give me that impressed look, I've still got a long way to go and lots of things to learn. I'm already more than enjoying myself, though!

Speaking of enjoying myself, what do I do in my spare time? I barely have any spare time nowadays, but procrastination is useful for creating time whilst actually reducing the amount you've got of it.
I do webdev for personal projects occasionally, but generally just hang around on the internet doing nothing in particular. I sometimes play games though. Most often on my Nintendo DS lite, and sometimes on my computer. Not a real hardcore gamer though. Don't enjoy most computer games, and the amount of games I can play is a tad bit limited by the fact I own a Mac, too. (Though with the upcoming Macbook Pro that'll change, since I'll triple-boot it to OSX, Windows and Linux.
Yes I own a Mac. Yes I know they're hella expensive. No, I won't get a "PC", I absolutely love the OS and can't be bothered making the switch. And yes, I do plan on making a Hackintosh one day. Haters gonna hate.

Real life? Yes, I do have a life. I have tons of really wonderful friends with whom I try to spend as much time as possible with. Hanging out, going partying, doing fun things. I still can't get over the fact that next year we'll all go our own ways. Regular contact will remain, sure, but not a chance we'll see each other as often as we do now. Bawwww.

Other hobbies, interests? Hell yes, huge amount of interests. A very, very noteworthy one is MSPaintAdventures, specifically Homestuck at the moment. If you haven't already, start reading it. It's hilarious, it's got a really strong plot, hell lot of mindfuck, and really cool injokes. Don't mind the ridiculousness of the fanbase, though. There are cool Homestuck fans, too.
Music, too. Really big interest in that. Just listening though, no playing, I sadly suck at that. Nothing mainstream though, mostly soundtracks. Because soundtracks are the shit, and I like getting the shit all up in my auditory meatus every now and then. Other than that, a wide variety of genres. From classical piano to heavy rock, back to smooth elevator jazz, and then jumping all the way over to chiptune. I told you it was a whole spectrum of genres I listened to.

I've probably missed some stuff I wanted to talk about, but that may or may not get added here later on. For now, if you have a blog, stop reading and write a proper about page of your own if you haven't already. Can't have you get to know me this intimately with me hardly knowing anything about you, now can we?
