Strat or Tele?

So for some unknown reason, I really want a Strat or Tele now. Fender probably did some inception on me.
So, Strat or Tele? I already have a Les Paul, and I really like Les Paul's freaking buff sound, but it's pretty ordinary for playing with low gain or for a bright sound. But, I don't want to play like, Texan country music either.
I have no idea how to implement a poll on a blog, so for now, "lol" = Strat, "wtf" = Tele. Or just leave a comment :D. I want a white Strat or Tele, preferably with a black pick guard, if I can't find one with a black pick guard I'll probably just install one myself. Or a Cherry Red guitar, but those probably only come with the more expensive models. I'm looking at the lowest tier of Fender, the Mexican-made Standard guitars. Though at the moment I'm trying to resist the urge to rush out and grab one.
I'm going to go try out Strats and Teles on Thursday with David after uni.

Heavy+Medic

So TF2 is hilariously fun, but the peeps have stopped playing now :/
Anyway, I'm in Brisbane now, uni started today for me. So I'm currently lugging around 15kg's of textbooks from Co-op and other stuff around in some random blue shopping bag. It's quite ridiculous, but the line at the bookshop is even more ridiculous, so I bought everything today. It cost around 400 dollars ._.

Sydney for a month was very nice, I just went to the city when I had nothing else on (which was very rare lol). We never got to do the Macquarie thing, though, and I was planning on doing some laser tag or paintball which also never happened, but yeah. It was a very good break. My cousin came over from China, she's going to do masters of accounting at ANU, she left for Canberra before I left for Brisbane. I tagged along when she was looking for accommodation in Canberra. I still think the city/town's not extremely interesting or lively, but it's well structured and orderly. ANU is like inside Canberra's CBD, which is quite cool.

I went shopping in the city (Queen St Mall is actually pretty cool.) on Saturday, I had to buy all this food. I still have some things I need, I mean want, to buy, but I'm not sure how I'll carry them onto the buses and into the house. Oh well. UQ still is undergoing randomly massive constructions and renovations and whatnot, there are trucks and workers everywhere. I've no idea when they'll finish, but yeah.

I can't wait to play Deus Ex 3, though I don't know how good it would be, Square Enix stuff has been pretty dodgy lately. And I shouldn't have enough time to play it anyway. I'm doing three 2nd year courses this semester and a 1st year chem course, apparently the second year courses require much more input. I think I've said that before.

Anyway.

In the summer holidays, I want to go to China. Roam around HK, Guangzhou, Shanghai, probably go to the ice festival in Harbin. Anyone care to come with?/Can I tag along with anyone? I actually forgot quite a bit of reading and writing Chinese, so I actually have no idea what to do lol.

So like

Uni grades are out for me, UQ is kind of fast. BIOL1020 7, BIOL1040, PSYC1030 and CHEM1030 6. A Queensland 7 is approximately a UNSW/USYD HD, 6 D, etc., which are alright. I mean, they're pretty good >D (But I thought I did better in the exams, enough for a few more 7's. Ahwells.) (Which doesn't even make sense because I ended up with a 88.44% for psych, and 7 requires 85%+, so I have no idea -.-).

But more importantly, it's great to see people again. Bad luck the people who start on the 18th. Looking forward to more bumming/talking/gaming in general. Still haven't been ice skating yet this time around. A bunch of people are holidaying in Queensland .__.

My cousin, who is from China and is going to do Masters for accounting at ANU starting this coming sem, is over at my house, so my family got to show her around the city etc. Because Sydney > Canberra.


EDIT
NUU OMG. 7 for psych is 89%+, so I was 0.56% off a 7, What is this I don't even.
