Pen Name

Today, in school, I found out (not 'learned) what a pen name is. For those who don't know it's:

A name an author writes in his/her works which is not really theirs. A pen name may be used to make the author's name sound cooler, to hide his/her gender etc.
Some famous authors who have pen names are: Mary Pollock (real name Enid Blyton), Boz (Charles Dickens) and Frank W Dixon (A group of authors).

My teacher brought this up because one of the nerds in my class uses a pen-name for all her works. Her pen name is 'Fani". I think it's a rather 'FANI' (FUNNY) name. So since I'm writing a blog, I've decided to make a pen-name but I didn't know what it should be. So, I went for the obvious.

From know on, you shall know me as 'Skywalker'.
May the Force be with you.

New Teachers...

My first day of the school year was on Tuesday. I always hate the first day for one reason. New teachers. Why? I'll tell you a story...

I go to an Indian school so some people have some not-so-common-in-other-countries names. Like, Pavitharan or Shukha Deva. But still, nobody gets my name right the first time (Or the second, third, fourth, fifth... ninth time.) So whenever new teachers ask for everyone's name, I dread it.

Teacher: What's your name?
Me: Luke
Teacher: What? Lu-chee?
Me: LUKE
Teacher: Huh? Luchse?
Me: LUKE! L-U-K-E.
Teacher: Wats that? Luk-e?
Me: (Mumbling) close enough

Faust, Midas and Myself

I made a music video for the song "Faust, Midas and Myself" by Switchfoot. I used Pivot to do the animating and Windows Movie Maker to do the rest. I know it's amateur-ish and lame but, hey, that's me :). To find this video, you can click here or if you dont want to leave the page, you can scroll down and click the picture of the Cross (And watch some of my other ones too)

A couple of pet peeves

Here are some of my pet peeves.

1. When you bite your tongue/ cheek where it's already swollen
   
2. When people look at you, chatter in a foreign language and then burst out laughing.
3. When you're about to sneeze but it freezes in your nose and gets stuck
4. When a button on the TV remote doesn't work, so you press it again and it comes in double. Example: When you want 7 but you get 77
5. When an offer pops up on the computer and you don't want it but it only gives you the options "Yes, order now" and "No, order later"
6. Socks that have worn out elastic
7. Teachers who give 'surprise tests' and give homework on the first day of school
8. When you try to pour ketchup and 'red water' comes out
9. When the shower is either too hot or too cold
10. When in the shower and your hands are too slippery from the soap that you can't turn your handles. (I prefer pachydermic shower handles (In the Picture))
