haha eren... yeah i agree with lyounamu. to do well in the hsc you need to study effectively. "quality, not quantity". although certain subject combinations can certainly help you out with the scaling, there is no reason why anyone couldn't achieve 80+, if you have effective study techniques...

I've read Murakami, not Yoshimoto yet although she's been on my "to read" list for ages. Kindof have a love-hate thing with Murakami, I can get really into them but have usually had enough with them by the end of the book. Kafka on the Shore is probably my favourite. The last one I tried to read...

ok i'm sorry if this sounds totally heretical but i watched it today and actually didn't like it that much. i just had no idea what was going on. all of the time. as in plot-wise. it was so confusing. and i did watch casino royale when it came out too. the wikipedia article made things a bit...

The very first chapter of the very first Lord of the Rings book. Where Bilbo Baggins lists every single person that went to his eleventy-first birthday and the presents he got from each of them. And pretty much any of those "history of middle earth" books...oh god. like encyclopedias except untrue

Drive by Incubus You Get What You Give by the New Radicals Ants Marching by the Dave Matthews Band and 100 Angry Dwarfs by the Ben Folds Five
