This is my last post. I need to finish studying for the final Law exam. I’m back in St Kilda. My speech is fragmented. (lol that’s there to annoy you)

I got back home earlier today. Gerbil especially was happy to see me.

I’ve gotta study heaps to catch up. Boy am I stressing.

See you all! I’ve gotta go now.

[tenzin. No wait I wanna be known by my real name]

One Last Hurrah!

I arrived in Traralgon not one hour ago. My parents hugged me for what seemed like hours and hours, although it was really only minutes. They haven’t seen me in months, and I haven’t been back to ol’ Traralgon in years. By the time we got back home my brother had gotten back from high school. He practically dragged me into his room to play WiiSports with him. I couldn’t really say no, now could I?

After dinner they pushed large amounts of food into my arms, and tearily we all went to bed.

 I met all the old gang, ah… just like old times. They don’t know that I prefer to go by Tenzin as a nickname so they called me by my real name.

Josh. That’s right, my name is Josh. While I may be Tibetan, I have an Anglo-Saxon name.

Lol. That was funny. Gotta go now, we’re all heading out to a restaurant soon.

My friends had noticed that I was still a bit shock-y and a bit depressed after the ‘Chadstone Incident’ and so they scraped together what small funds we all had and sent me off to Gippsland to be with my parents. I’m leaving soon.

I suppose that I should tell you all about my family too.

My family live in western Gippsland, near Traralgon. I have one younger brother, he is fifteen. My parents are in their mid to late forties, and escaped from Tibet together before I was born. They have paid for my education entirely, no HECS debt for me! I love them so much.

I knew that I needed a day off, but I wasn’t thinking that this would happen!

Today my friends and I went to Chadstone shopping centre to have a bit of a yak, you know the sort. Anyway, while we were eating our food (and Doofus was sleeping off his hangover), this stoned, drunk idiot guy came up to me and started swearing. “Get out of Australia, ya fucking arab!” he was swearing over and over, and I just ignored him. Since 2001 I’ve gotten shit like that from idiots who can’t see the difference between Australian-Tibetan and Arabian. It pisses me off utterly.
Then he decided to heft me out of the seat and started dragging me along. I mean, WTF was this person on about? He kept swearing, and Gerbil was following at a fairly close distance. I managed to struggle away from him, but his words echoed after me: “Fucking Arabs are destroying Australia!”

You can tell that I was a bit shaken by this thing. I really was suprised when he pulled a knife: but luckily I pulled away from him in time.

Oh well, no harm done. Forgive and Forget, in time.

[tenzin]

Time to tell you about my friends. They have all asked to go by their internet forum names.

We all live together in St. Kilda, in an old Housing Commission house, which we share the rent between all of us. Unlike Salam Pax at Where is Raed, I’m in no danger of being killed for telling you all about myself.

First there is Doofus. He is exactly that. He frequently gets so drunk when he is at nightclubs that he almost gets his face smashed in. Ah… I remember about a year ago, when he managed to get me to come with him to the nightclub. He got himself so drunk, that for some reason he insisted on talking to this pothead. The pot head was so annoyed that he pulled a knife on Doofus, and I baulked at that sight. I yanked him away from the pothead and dragged him outside. To pull someone your own size onto a train to get them home is difficult, especially when they’re catatonically drunk! In the end, I managed to get him back home at about 3 in the morning, and I promptly collapsed asleep on the couch and missed a lecture the very next day. Boy, did I ever give him shit about that one!

Then, of course, there is Door. He is the opposite of Doofus: completely quiet and very introverted. He studies IT Applications at uni. We call him Door because he’s the one who almost always answers the door. When we always go out, Door studies so much… even neglecting his nearly non-existent social life. You could say that he fits the nerd stereotype exactly.

Then, there is MGS. He is called MGS because he loves an old game called Metal Gear Solid; he plays it incessantly. Not much else to say about him.

Penultimately, there is Gerbil. She’s the one who fixed my computer after that fake Zonealarm copy infected it with MSBlast. She’s studying Law with me, but she lives with her parents rather than in my dingy little St. Kilda shack. She’s helped me on many an occasion- she filled me in on what I had missed the night after getting Doofus back home.

Lastly, of course, there is me. My chat name is Tenzin, as you well know. I study law at Melbourne Uni. I am Tibetan- but I was born in Australia. Yep, that’s right. I’m a dinky-di cobber Aussie. SO DON’T PUSH YOUR PREJUDICE ON ME!!!! Lol… I get a bit angry when I remember people aren’t as accepting as you would first think.

That’s all for now-

with Metta, [tenzin]

My friend who fixed the computer wants to have something to say. I suppose I should let her, after all.

[tenzin]

Hi everyone!! I’m Tenzin’s friend. He got infected with an old virus called MS Blast. It is really annoying. Wikipedia has some information on it.

The Blaster Worm (also known as Lovsan or Lovesan) was a computer worm that spread on computers running the Microsoft operating systems, Windows XP and Windows 2000, during August 2003.

And here is a picture of what happened every few minutes after startup:

 Not a particularly nice virus to have.

[Ooh... I can't think of a name... Pet Gerbil will suffice]

You wanna know something funny? I decided to get myself a better firewall, because Windows Firewall just doesn’t cut it.

I had heard about ZoneAlarm from a friend, so I decided to download a copy.

Woe betide me! I accidentally downloaded a fake version… I should have known… what with the default Windows icon… its poor spelling…

 This is what it looked like. Lol, it installed a heap of spyware thingies on my computer.

You remember the friend I told you about? The one that lent me the book with the picture of the Dalai Laa Laa? Well, she came over and fixed the computer in less than half an hour! I owe her heaps!

[tenzin]

Well, since you’ve been with me a while, I suppose I could tell you more about me. I’m about 23 years old or so, and I live in St. Kilda. I’m studying Law at university and I’m almost finished! La de da de dum!

[tenzin]

Hey, blogging’s pretty fun. Something mildly embarrassing happened during a lecture today. I fell asleep during the lecture, and the professor noticed and asked me some basic question about Habeas Corpus. I was stressing until Gerbil (my friend) slid a sheet of paper to me surreptitiously, and I just managed to answer the question.

Hehehe, I’m gonna give MGS shit for annoying the whole house with Metal Gear Solid on at max volume and keeping us up all night. 

[tenzin]

I’ve been reading this book a friend of mine lent me and I came across this image. LOL it’s pretty funny.

Just so you know, THIS is the real Dalai Lama.

Nonetheless, it’s sorta disrespectful. I’m pretty protective of ol’ Tenzin Gyatso.

*growls*
