shade184You're a Rorschach Test on fire
You're a Day-Glo pterodactyl
You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You're one badass fucking fractal!

*sigh* That song actually makes advanced math sound AWESOME. But then again, it's JoCo, so no surprises there. XD
I've finally gotten rid of my old, old userpic and replaced it with something much more recent. Urgh, I hate taking photos of myself. However, if you look carefully you can see that I'm actually wearing my Oblivion shirt (a complete coincedence, I might add ^_^) - the top bar of the symbol is visible. Be jealous. And no, that white bit is not my skin, but a shirt I'm wearing over it (and under the Oblivion shirt). Hey, don't look at me like that! It's cold these days!
Also, if someone *coughnudgecough* wants the proper pic , they need only ask. :P Hell, I don't see why they wouldn't want it - they can see more of my awesome shirt!

I'm meeting some distant rellies from the US at the airport tomorrow. Not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not, to be honest. They seem like decent enough people. I've joined in a couple of Skype sessions with them (not individually, the family was doing a session and I just popped in as I walked by), and that was alright. But I really don't know these people.
There'll be my granddad's sister, her daughter (and maybe her husband, I'm not sure), her two sons (who are a couple years younger than I), and if there's going to be anyone else then I'm unaware of them.
Sandy gets along very well with my mum, and the oldies are going to be caught up in their reunion (fifty years is a very long time to have been separated from your family for!), so that just leaves the twins. Urgh, I'm not sure about this.
My lair is off-limits. Normally I'm not territorial, but in this case it's a resounding no.
And I know I'm going to sound horribly racist for this, but I hope they're not total fucking retards. I'm speaking from experience when I say that most Americans I know are really, really stupid. Yes, I know a bunch of them who are very intelligent - hell, Americans taught me a good portion of the computer stuff I know. But there are some real doozies out there when it comes to stupid people. (That's also why I don't like going out in public all that often - Aussies can get pretty retarded too.)
I guess I'll just stand at the back tomorrow, and drop semi-subtle hints. Fiddling with a d20 is indication enough that I'm a Dungeons and Dragons player (it's absolutely iconic to those who know what it is), and if they don't know what it's for, then they don't need to know. Besides, I like the weight of it in my hand, and it's better than just sitting there and fidgeting like I always do.
I'm going to wear my Oblivion shirt, though. There are some sides of me that I repress for nobody.
Anyway, I'm off to bed. 'Night all!

We're all heading down to the Gold Coast tomorrow for a family barbecue at my uncle's place.
