I AM SYLAR... I think.

Hi all!
Cripes, haven't had much chance to update this recently. But yeah, I'm here now, so all is OK. So, first things first, THE END OF HEROES!!!!! I gotta admit, I was a little disappointed they didn't actually show the final showdown between Peter, Nathan and Sylar, instead choosing to fill the space with a minute of random blue flashes through a crack in the door. They did the same in Series 1; that I could understand, 'cause it was still in its early stages and they wanted to keep audiences watching, but this is series 3 now, they have no excuse not to show showdowns. They might as well put in a blank screen with the words "insert climax here" and cheesy keyboard music, because the effect would be the same. Still, I loved the bit where he got into the car with the president, and it ws like:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Hang on....
Aaaaaah, clever!
I love it when they have moments like that. So Pete now has all his powers back, Nathan's dead, Sylar's Nathan and poor old Chris Martin, or whatever his name was, is toast. I must admit, I am annoyed. I can't believe they brought Nathan back for the THIRD TIME! OK, so it's not really him, but still. Why can't they do that with a cool character, like (you guessed it) Adam? And it's the same with Ali Larter. Whatever excuse they use for her coming from a family of clones or whatever, just....why? She hardly did anything this series. I mean, OK, she looks pretty important in the next volume, but just... Why? Why can't you just make up a new villain? But anyway, "You're number four!" Yay, I can count! Why is that guy significant? I bet it's (A) because he used to work at Building 26 and she's out for revenge on everyone, or (B) because he looks a lot like the president. He does, I tell you!
Only time will tell, I guess. What worries me, though, is that we've seen the end of Zach Quinto. Him taking a break I can understand, I'm sure he has other projects on the go, like the next Trek, but could he possibly have been axed completely?? I mean, when Nathan finally realises he's Sylar, he's not going to want to go back to looking like a tramp, is he? And what about "The Company"? Is it a nice, padded, comfy Company now? Can there be such thing? Once again, Angela and Bennett are frustratingly ambiguous.
Anyway, I think I've gone on enough about that today. What else has been going down? Well, had my first exam on Monday; It's General Studies, so not vital, but I think I did OK all the same. Um.... I had a major tidy-up of my room over the weekend, everything looks really neat and tidy now. The perfect revision environment. And I'm gonna start my latest sticking-in-fest tonight as well. I have so much paper all over the place. Most of it's English Lit. Listened to the Fray's latest album. On first listening, I though it was pretty epic, definitely bigger and bolder than their first album, although surprisingly understated in the music market. Second and third listenings have brought out slightly more... tedious aspects of the album, but at ten tracks it's just the right length to explore the whole spectrum of emotions without becoming too much of a bore. The piano's great as well; I wish I could play like that. Not a must-have, but quite enjoyable.
What else should I mention here? Oh yeah, major people-watching yesterday. We went out to this other school down the road, for English Lit, and I was teamed up with Joe and Julia. We were the three Js. That's how cool we were. But yeah, Julia was pretty awesome. Just one of those oddly fascinating people you wish you could be yourself. So, I was bored babysitting last night, and decided to put my thoughts down on paper (or iPod, in this case). What I came up with was something along the lines of this:

Julia sits opposite me; petite, skinny, smiling thoughtfully. Her face is that of a typical sixteen- or seventeen-year old girl, pretty, precise, delicate, but nothing that striking. Her eyes, transfixing, are the first things that truly catch my attention. A warm hazel, they seem to twinkle with the spark of imagination. I could tell just from that glimmer that she was the sort of girl with one foot in reality and the other in a world of her own. Not like some other girls. Not like the fashion victims, shallow, obsessed with the latest gossip. Julia was one of the few who dared to be unique.
Her voluminous hair is a fascination: a sort of dark reddish-brown with lighter streaks of almost gold, which I'd like to think are natural but are probably dyed. It hangs over her right shoulder, half-heartedly plaitted, but with errand strands reaching like fingers of smoke in all directions. The simple blazer, polo shirt, skirt and tights she wears hardly do her justice, but at the same time, I can't imaging she's the type to wear dresses. The thick-heeled black shoes she wears are practical, but without sacrificing her femininity. When she sits, she generally keeps her legs folded beneath her chair; relaxed, but keeping to herself.
Julia seems the "in-between" sort, she has the ability to associate with different types of people equally, without herself belonging to any category. I really admire this skill; there are some sorts of people I couldn't talk to to save my life. That's not a reflection of them, it's purely down to a lack of communication skills on my part. Julia's voice is the typical eccentric, intelligent without being too arrogant. It's quite pure; there's no noticeable accent in her words. She doesn't talk much, but when she does begin, I wouldn't be surprised or unhappy if she went on for hours.
Too soon she has to leave - she's got a message from her mum. She produces a curious phone from her bag - It's quite old, as evidenced by the scratches around the edges, a Motorola, orangey-red, big but flat. She tells me it's old, but I think it's got character. At the end of an hour and a half, she still doesn't know my name, and she probably never will, but that doesn't bother me. Just meeting her was interesting enough.

Yawn. You should be able to drag notes from your iPod onto the computer. I bet if I had J.A.R.V.I.S. I could. He's such an awesome gadget. OK, waffling now. Today's my last day before study leave, so I should really be doing something productive with my time. Looking forward to getting the Head Boy results this afternoon. I wonder who's going to win... Hopefully me! I won't be too gutted if I lose, but it would be cool.

See ya 'round!
