Linkin Park - My December

this is my december
these are my snow covered plains

What a fun fun fun day it has been. Got to skip an entire day of school to go to Luna Park and conduct some 'physics experiments'. Lack of scientific relevance aside, the rides were amusing at best and (for the most part) nauseating. For some reason, i succumbed to peer pressure today and did some things that i normally wouldn't do.

I got peer pressured into riding the Spider which is just a really damn good way to spin around heaps and heaps and get really really nauseous.

I got peer pressured into riding the Sky Ranger (think that giant Pirate Ship thing that used to be at the place formerly known as Wonderland) which resulted in my liver, kidney and most of intestines ending up in my mouth.

I got peer pressured into buying fish and chips for lunch at the extremely steep price of $8.50 per serve. I would never usually pay this damn much for food, being the asian that i am. It was hot and damn tasty, but eight dollars and fifty f*cking cents... bloody inflation.

In conclusion, i hate peer pressure for making me do such crazy and potentially life threatening things which i enjoyed none the less.

And to pay homage to my being suckered into doing dumb things...
today's top 5: ways to sucker people into doing dumb things

1. Tell them it can't be done. This will work for the 50% of people who have nothing better to do than to go out of their way just to get into yours. The other 50% will run away and cower in fear.
2. Reassure them that "it's alright if you want to back out...". It's amazing how many times i've fallen for this one. The more somebody tells you that you can do something, the less you want to do it.
3. Threaten to tell their girlfriend that they're a damn pussy/heartless bastard/tight arse. The way to a man's heart may be through his stomach but the way to a mans' head is through his ego.
4. Offer to give them money (a.k.a. bribery). If the ego road is blocked, take the path through his wallet. Money makes the world go round, the world go round, the world go round...
5. Ask them to do it while they're deep in discusison with somebody else. I've seen somebody holding onto a clump of dirt whilst talking to some other guy.
