Some puzzled guy in a tux. If he looks girly its because I used a photo of my face for reference haha.

Here's some dude rocking out. Some dude with a claw.

Sketchbook 6

2009-12-29T17:34:00.004Z

Right these are both utter crap so I thought I'd post them together. The first I drew after finishing reading The Crossing of Ingo. I tried to draw Faro and as you can see it went horribly wrong. And the second one... well I think I just got frustrated so drew any old rubbish just so I had something to colour in.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

2009-11-15T14:36:00.002Z

Here's some dude. I'm really quite proud of the pose in this one, even though I was using a ref for it. But c'mon, you'd have to be an EXPERT to draw that pose from memory.
Yes, I am aware that his left hand is completely wrong. And I am also fully aware that he has dodgy Rod Stewart hair.

I decided that I'd give up on the scanner because I get a clearer picture from my mobile phone camera ಠ_ಠ
Anyway, here's some girl about to paint something. Don't ask me what the jigsaw thing is about, I forget.

2009-09-23T18:53:00.003+01:00

Again, a very old page from my book. And the scanner's majorly screwed it over. Since when can it not scan pencil, please?! But anyway, it's basically a sketch dump. I'm gutted you can't see my headless merman properly, he had awesome abs and tail, haha!

My toe feels broken.

And in other news: I start college on Monday. *ARGH APPREHENSION* Luckily it's a short day starting at 10:30am with an hour & half of maths (with Ellis, woo!) and finishing at 1pm after an hour of applied ICT (no, I still don't know what applied means). Hopefully all will be a-okay.

I was going to post another sketch but I'll leave it 'til next time :) Bye.

Sketchbook 2

2009-09-02T19:31:00.003+01:00

This is another old picture, I think it's even older than the previous sketchbook page I posted. Trying humans again, this time in a 'cartoony' (or in my case, bad) style. I think this was also just after we'd been using watercolours in school. I liked using them so had a go at colouring at home. This picture has so many faults, and I'm not even sure I ever finished it.
Also: The scanner is being a biff and is deciding to make everything look incredibly washed out and, in some cases, non-existant.

Just got back from getting my GCSE results and it's good news!!
I got two A*s (Maths & English Lit), two A's (English Lang and French (wtf!)) and four B's (Art (so made up after all the hours I spent on it), Biology, Chemistry and Physics)!!
And in my BTEC's I got a Distinction in Business and Maths and a Pass in Travel and Tourism :)
I think I also have a B in Geography and a C in Statistics that should be there, but because I did them last year and the year before they might be in my Record of Achievement... which has gone missing lol! They better find it or so help them! :P

Everyone else I spoke to did well too. I didn't see anyone who didn't have enough grades to do what they want to do next year, so it's all good! :D

Two A*s though... 0_0 I'm so surprised!

We're going to Pizza Hut later to celebrate, I should really start asking round what time we're going :/

Well done everyone!

Hello and welcome to the beginning of my sketch blog! From now on, I'll start uploading random sketches to here (because that's all my drawings are these days: sketches).
So... enjoy, I guess!

I don't know when I drew this. Quite a while ago I think. Sometime last year. Despite it being pretty stupid, I'm actually pretty proud of that guy at the top. He's actually got a pose and creases in his clothes... cape... whatever. Trying to improve on humans is so frustratingly hard.
Click it for a closer look (if you really want to xD).

I think I'm getting used to the hair now. Still a bit unsure but I'm over the 'freak out' I had yesterday when I realised my hair had actually changed colour xD

Anywho, going to town tomorrow with the friends. Haven't seen Steph in aeons (I don't know if that's a word, or just the summons on FFX, but whatever - it sounds interesting) and it's always good to see the others. I went to town today actually with mum, looking for some shoes and other stuff. I got a pair of bright pink Converse-like pumps from Barratts for £12. But seriously, they are dead ringers for Converse! The only way you know they're fakes is because they don't have 'All Star' on them, they're just blank.

I'm getting a bit obsessed with some Metallica songs. Specifically: Sad But True, The Memory Remains and Fuel. It's all Guitar Hero's fault!! ...But they are some proper tunes right there! :D

Bye.

I just dyed my hair 'Mahogany' expecting to get a slight hint of red to my brown hair. It turned out weird! It's a dodgy reddy-brown colour now and, I don't know, it doesn't go with my skin colour or something xD It just looks weird.
Don't get me wrong, it's not TERRIBLE, but I just feel a bit "Euuurr" about it. I don't know whether I should be saying "Oh no!" or not xD

Ah well, I was kind of adventurous for once in my life. And at least it's semi-permanent. So if need be I could just get two showers a day to wash it out quickly!
...To be honest, now that it's drying it doesn't look too different to what it used to be. Still a bit dodgy though!

I knew I should have gone with 'Chocolate'.

Hey there.

It's officially summer now :) Actually, I've been enjoying the holidays for a good couple of weeks now because school is well and truly over! All that time saying "there's only 2 years left", "there's only 1 year left"... now there are NO years left. And I couldn't be happier.

Summer's been nothing special so far, I've just been enjoying being a lazy bum with no responsibilities. Seen my friends at least once a week (and I want that to continue!), and I'm seeing them again tomorrow. In town last week Becky, Jade and I filmed a zombie movie (lawl) but it's still nowhere near finished yet. It's been edited slightly but it still needs speech, music and titles. I'll post a link when it's finally done!

I did some drawing in my sketchbook for the first time in months the other day. Trouble is, I never know what to draw so I end up having a go at humans and then get depressed over the fact they always turn out lame. Plus I have no idea how to colour them. I want to start painting again but there's just not enough room in this house to do it. >_<

I'm going to a open-air concert thing Friday night in Southport with my family. It's something like a tribute to Abba, Motown and Michael Jackson (which all rule xD) so it should be fun. And it'll be interesting if it rains!

I keep having weird dreams that are a jumble of various different things. I had one the other week involving Phoenix Wright and death gods out of Death Note (lulwut) and the other night I had one that involved Jacob Black, rollercoasters, a secret plan and Muse. But Jacob was majorly hawt in that dream, so I kinda got over the bizarre mix of it all.

Anywho, there's no other mindless banter to splurge, so bye.

Oh my God. SHOCKING.

I really can't wait for the next installment. Get writing, Landy!

2009-06-12T15:52:00.002+01:00

I've finally finished school! Well, pretty much anyway. Just two more maths lessons then a maths test and I'm officially done! :D I'll have about 2 months off before going to college on the 7th September, I think it is.

Had my first experience of buying concert tickets for a popular band the other week 0_0 Oh my goodness, the stress! But it was worth it - I am now going to see Muse on 5th November with Becky, Patty and Steph! And I got standing too! Just gotta hope the tickets turn up now :S Haha, they should though. Otherwise Muse are lying barstools for linking me to a dodgy site!

Had some time playing The Sims 3, and I like it! My computer doesn't actually have a graphics card so it crashes occasionally (I have learnt that putting a TV or stereo on and throwing a party causes premature crashing), but it works, which is a miracle. I'm planning to have my first baby once my female sim has became a rock star. She's already lead guitarist so it shouldn't take too much longer.
By the way, and this probably happens because of the lack of graphics card, but has anyone else had the problem of having no roof? No matter what I do, I can't get it to appear! And I don't want a flat roof. It's weird.

I've got REALLY behind on Random Funny Moments again and I don't even know where to start in updating it again. I appeal to anyone who knows me to give me memories!

Discovered earlier that Tim McIlrath's eyes are two different colours. One blue and one brown. How cool is that! xD

Erm, anything else? Oh, I've started listening to Blue Foundation because I loved 'Eyes On Fire' from the Twilight Soundtrack (yes, I bow my head in shame). They're pretty good, but sadly so far nothing's really been as good as Eyes On Fire.

Bye for now.

2009-05-05T19:29:00.002+01:00

In a terrible, terrible mood.

I had to stay in school till 6 again doing art coursework, so that made me extremely fed up. Now every single thing is getting to me really bad >_<

I hate writing crap like this on the internet but I need to vent somewhere!!

But anyway, yeah, I hope this passes in a bit. And I hope these couple of months go really quick. School is wrecking head so much now - art coursework feels like it'll never go away, english lit feels like its a loss cause and french speaking feels like its a loss cause too. And I'm just so bored of seeing the same faces everyday (and no, I'm not talking about my friends. They are awesome). Arrrgh! I feel like I need to go scream into a towel or something! xD

I need to do something completely out-of-the-ordinary... any suggestions before my brain collapses from the extreme (at times) mundaneness of my life?

lol, I'm being so lame and like some stupid emo teenager.
HANG ON! I am some stupid teenager (though not emo, thank God).

Nyaaah I'm don't even know what I'm writing anymore. Or why I'm writing it for that matter. I want some pasta. Or nutella...
No, pasta.

2009-04-23T17:01:00.004+01:00

Whoa, I haven't updated this in over a month :O

So... what's been happening?
Spent 4 days in Italy 4 weeks ago. Was really good! Seen the colosseum in Rome, Mt Vesuvius, Herculaneum, Pompei and Capri. It wasn't really hot, but it was nice not having to wear a proper coat xD There were loads of funny times that I should probably add to RFM, but I really don't have it in me right now to think about them nevermind write them all down. But anyway, I'll tell you this - if you ever go to Italy, do not leave without having had Nutella ice cream *salivates*.

Then there was the easter holidays. That was appreciated, but like usual went too quick & I got hardly any coursework/revision done.
Oooh! And I had my college interview and have been offered a place *squeal*! They were really nice & everything sounds good about it. Just slightly worried about the whole fact i won't know barely anyone - and I'm not the most naturally chatty person in the world with people I don't know :S But to hell with it, that's one of the reasons I'm going: to get out of this stupid, boring rut I'm stuck in right now.

Now it's "Uh oh, it's just dawned on me that we start exams in about 4 weeks" time and everyones slightly freaking about it. We've got to go on this BTEC maths weekend tomorrow (yeah the one I was moaning about in another post). We would have had a three day weekend had we not had to go D: Some people are actually thinking it's going to be good - I can't see what's good about staying in a motorway service station doing maths for two days to be honest.

Have had some vivid dreams lately. One featured some dorky (can't think of a better word! xD) yet extremely cute & funny guy named Billy (random) in which I think there was something going on between us :/ And I remember looking out of the window of building we were in and it was like Italy outside, and inside there were lots of cardboard boxes. Was weird. But I remember waking up and missing Billy haha xD It is now my lifetime mission to find The Billy.
Anyway, another one I had was (I think) at a Rise Against concert in some ginormous place with a massive screen and all I can really remember is (I think it must have been) Tim McIlrath putting his arms up in the air in a YEAAAH!! kind of way and his t-shirt coming up and showing his belly button. Why that is the only thing I remember clearly - I do not know. That is the last time I listen to Anywhere But Here just before I go to sleep.
Last nights was in some kind of holiday park/lodge place, but I can barely remember it now to be honest :/
It's weird because I don't normally remember ANY of my dreams. And now I get these randoms.

Has anyone got an account on www.Last.fm? Downloaded that thing that connects the site to your media player the other day & am finding it pretty cool. I'm listening to some of my 'recommended tracks' right now.
So anyway, if you want to add me my username is Namrams. Which is also my Twitter ;) I have barely any music on this new comp yet though, so thats why my selection on last.fm is pretty poor xD

So yeah, best be off, see you soon (hopefully before another month has passed).

Turns out the BTEC weekend thing isn't going to be until after easter now. So all my ranting was for nothing!

Don't really know why I'm making this post. Just felt like.

Need to do art homework for fear of being eaten tomorrow if I don't. I can't wait till all this coursework is over.

Anyone who watches QI remember --> this? <--
Found it hilarious when I saw it ages ago XD
Yay! New QI tomorrow!! :D

...

Right, I seriously have nothing else to say. Buhbye for now, lovelies.

12th March 2009

2009-03-12T18:19:00.002Z

I'm having one of those awful, everything-does-your-head-in days. *RANT WARNING*

First of all, school draaaaaagged. Seriously, I've never known such a long and boring day. The morning wasn't too bad, but an afternoon of double business and then having to stay back for maths... *shake head*

Which brings me onto Public Enemy No.1. (eh?)
We got told ages ago that we'd probably be able to do a Maths BTEC. We got told we'd go away for the weekend to get it all done, and spend the Saturday in Camelot - or because that is now closed down - Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Today we got told that Blackpool is too expensive so we'll just go to the hotel to chill out there and in the town. Which is all fair enough. I would have loved to go to the fair, but it's not the end of the world.
Now here's the problem: The maths thing is Friday 27th March to the 29th. Me, Becky and Patty (and others, but they aren't in our maths class) go on our trip to Italy on the 30th. At 4:30am.
We told miss this and she was like "well, we won't be able to go till May then" and everyone else in the class sighed and was like "noooo! we wanna go now! we're all excited! we want to get it out of the way! You'll be fine! You can just sleep on the plane! Blah blah blah blah BLAH!" And even miss said "you can just sleep on the plane" >_<
I felt like screaming "ARE YOU INSANE!?!?" That means we would have to get up at 7am or earlier for TWELVE days on the run, with no free time (except for the week i am in school, AFTER school) and I would be going to bed really late the two days before I have to wake up at 2:30am to get to the airport for 4:30am. And I probably won't sleep the first few nights in Italy because you never do sleep properly at first on holiday!
The two times (Lloret & France) I went on holiday with hardly any sleep I thought I was having a migraine, I was so exhausted and disorientated. I don't want to feel like I am having a migraine. Migraines feel terrifying and horrible.
We don't even NEED this smeggin BTEC. I'm already predicted to get 19 flippin GCSEs from that weirdo school! You only need FIVE to get to college! >_<

It gets worse with that school, it really does. Its not so much what they're doing is bad, its just makes you go "WHHHHYYYY!?"
And they wonder why I'm totally against staying on next year! Good day sir! I SAID GOOD DAY!

Hidely-ho peoples of the interweb.

I'm sorta catching up in science! Yay! Still a bit behind, but I think most people are. At least I'm not uber stressing about it now. Still screwed for art, but at least she didn't moan at me when I said I hadn't done anything over half term because I'd had almost-flu.

I have a new love in my life: Live bands. Oh my God, Rise Against (and Anti-Flag & Flobots) were absolutley fantastic on Monday.

Flobots were pretty good. I heard someone call them alternative hip hop... it was basically rappers with guitarists and a violinist XD And one of the rappers did some funky dancing. Cool. Also: "Walk with! Walk with! Walk with Jules!"

Anti-Flag were good, but insane! Deflated-Mohawk guy was the insaniest (new word!). Every five minutes it was "You're f***ing beautiful, Liverpool!" or "I f***ing love you guys!" or "F*** the law!" or "Raise your middle fingers to the air, Liverpool, and sing with me!", he crowd surfed, he had a megaphone and... hahahahaha! He pulled the funniest face ever at one point. He looked like he was having a really big poo, but really he was just screaming (even though I heard no noise come from his mouth XD). This image came to me in a flash at dinnertime today and, yes, I found it very funny XD.

Rise Against took forever to come on - everyone was proper chanting, "RISE AGAINST! RISE AGAINST!" - but it was worth it when they did come on. They opened with Drones of all things, I was took by (pleasant) surprise by that. They did ALMOST every song I wanted them to. Yes, ALMOST. They didn't do Entertainment or Savior :( Why do Long Forgotten Sons over Savior!? What were they thinking! But anyway yeah - awesome. And they did all the biggies - Re-Education (the "To the rhythm of a heart beat pounding away" lines were amazing XD), Give It All and of course Prayer of the Refugee. I was thinking all the way through, 'I wonder when they're gonna do PotR', but (as I should have guessed) it was the last song. Everyone went crazy when that came on. Other songs I'm glad they did: Injection, The Good Left Undone (<3 that song!), Behind Closed Doors, Life Less Frightening (hey, the chorus is catchy!), Collapse, Chamber the Cartridge (except I was kinda distracted by the huge mosh pit going on in the middle and the fact I was being crushed against a wall when they did this song), Ready to Fall, Audience of One... yeah I loved them all! The two acoustics (Hero of War and Swing Life Away) were amazing too. The whole room was singing along with Tim (you have scary eyes, Tim, but you're awesome XD) and there were even some lighters in the air and everything. They did two songs I'd never heard before too - there was a good mix in there, they didn't just do everything off the new album. In fact I'd probably say there were more from Sufferer than Appeal to Reason. We also had a chant of "RISE! RISE! RISE!" (not entirely sure why, but whatever XD) in the middle. Patty caught this on video and it's so cool XD.

So yeah, you can probably tell I loved it. My ears were ringing afterwards (and I could hardly walk in a straight line for some reason), but I loved it. I reccomend seeing them live to anyone.

Tiiiim!!

Yesterday, all his troubles seemed so far away...

Found this extremely odd article thanks to someone on Twitter...

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- A man who dressed as the Norse god Thor for a costume party in Scotland said he returned home and scared off a burglar who had entered his house.

Torvald Alexander, 38, a construction firm manager who stands at 6 feet tall, said he ran after the burglar with his red cape and silver-winged helmet still in place, making for an intimidating sight, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

"As soon as he saw me his eyes went wide with terror," Alexander said of the burglar. "He looked like he had had a few drinks and decided to do a late night break in, but he hadn't counted on the God of Thunder living here."

"I had just got back from a fancy dress New Year's party and because I have a Norwegian name I decided to go as Thor," he said.

Alexander said the burglar did not have time to steal anything from the house and fled from a ground floor window without his shoes. He said the shoes will be turned over to police to help them attempt to identify a suspect.

As lots of people commented on the site I got this from, Why exactly did the burglar take off his shoes? Odd indeed.

I would have said this earlier but haven't been on the computer for about a week, so...

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Hope you all had a good time. I wasn't really feeling it this year but it turned out to be a nice day, not very exciting - but good all the same. I got what I asked for plus other little random stuffs. I would have asked for a puppy, kitten, PS3 or X360, but didn't see the point - the chances of me ever getting any of those things any time soon are pretty slim. (Although if there's nothing else to get for my birthday I might go halves on a cheapo 360 with Craig... I dunno.)

I actually think I enjoyed giving presents out as much as I enjoyed recieving them this year :)

I completed 'Professor Layton and the Curious Village' before. Yay! Yes, I did have to cheat here and there because some of the puzzles were really hard! (or at least appeared to be really hard, when actually they were ridiculously easy.... I'm looking at you 'Too Many Mice' -_-).
So, what should I play next?

I better go, been on here a while now. All the best for the new year!

100TH POST!! *FANFARE*

Anywho, whatsa been a-happenin' lately? Had a nice chilled out weekend compared to last week's major stress-fest, picked our secret Santa's (I hope no one gets me bath stuff!!), started reading Twilight, erm... and I think that's it.

I got persuaded into joining Swagbucks.com. It's just like google but you can win these swagbuck things that let you win prizes. I've got a feeling that there's gonna be a catch somewhere along the line, but Carina sent away for an Avenged Sevenfold print and got it, so I though I may as well have a go.
If you wanna have a go use this link > http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=253084 < and any swag bucks you win, I shall also win! Mwaha!
I currently have 9. Only 4491 more to collect till I can get my hands on that PS3...

Got yet more art homework to do :(. I better start that soon actually, otherwise I'll get myself into a pickle.

I started playing Viva Pinata on my DS. Soooooooo addictive, man! Curse that Dastardos (or whatever his name is) for smashing open my sick pinatas *sob*.

Yet another English mock exam tomorrow. I can't wait. -_-

I wonder what I shall buy for my secret Santa, hmmm. I'll have to have a think.

As Becky had a habit of saying a while ago - Au revoir, baby!

I have Rise Against tickets! Yeah, mon! Now to download their first 3 albums & hope I like them as much as the 2 I've already got...

In worser (not a word, I know) news: I feel sick. It's Monday tomorrow. Boooo.

25th October 2008

2008-10-25T20:30:00.002+01:00

Had a good week this week. Don't want to go back to school on Monday :(

I'm listening to 'Radio 1 Live Lounge Vol 3' right now. Downloaded it because it looked kinda interesting with all the different covers on it. Pendulum's version of 'Violet Hill' was cool XD I'm currently listening to The Feeling's version of Kelly Rowland's 'Work' now. Haha, it's... unusual! But not as bad as you'd think actually!

I've found someone to go to see Rise Against with!! Actually, it's (I think) 2 people. I was asking around and Becky said she would go but seeing as how I don't think she actually knows who they are, I don't know if she will XD My mum's mate's daughter Jenny said she'd go with me too and I think she's been to the Carling Academy before so I won't feel so "I have no idea where I'm going! Ahhhh!" But anyway, gotta check whether Becky'll actually go before we can book tickets :( It better not sell out this week or something ridiculous. I doubt that would really happen, but it's the kind of typical thing that will probably happen!

Anyone know of any proper amazing "WHOOOOOOOOOA" DS games? I need one to sink my teeth into that I won't get bored with.

I had the need to play Jak II the other day but I don't have it so I was sad.

Toodles.

I finished The Crossing of Ingo (the final book in a series by Helen Dunmore) yesterday. Now I'm all sad. I need moar! I'm gonna miss Faro & all the rest of them :(

I have to write an essay over half term. Oh happy days. Damn you English, damn you!

We went to see a french film today at Cineworld. It was called Tell No One. It was like a thriller-murder mystery-getting chased by the cops-kinda movie. Pretty alright actually.
And it would have been even better if we actually knew what was going on! The flippin' coach turned up late so we missed the first half hour/hour. Honestly.

I have a sudden urge to say, "My boy Salazar." Forgive me.

I'm in business right now. I've got nothing to do because I've finished. It's so much fun.

-_-

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Gotta go watch Kes or Kez or whatever its called in half an hour for enrichment.

I repeat.

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

Carina's sitting next to me reading. She says: "Perzun."

I can't believe I stayed in school finishing my final piece for art till 4:30. That an extra hour and a half X_X

I didn't feel that bad at the time, but now the tiredness has just hit me like a brick wall. And I lost an hour & a half of my free time :(

Anyway, gotta go eat some hotdogs.

Adios.

Even though the world may implode in the next month due to the big bang experiment, I feel heaps better than I did on my last post! Hooray!

I've gotta be really quick because we're going to see the lambanana army in town for 5pm, but just thought I'd have one last post in case it all ends tomorrow XD

We saw La Machine at the weekend. One of the most amazing things I have EVER seen. It was proper towering over us at one point and I got all choked up during the finale I found it so amazing! XD Seriously, I'll cry at anything. I'll post a picture next time (if there is a next time :P), but pictures do not do it justice!

Anyway, gotta go get changed UBERquick.

GOODBYE WORLD!

I feel really down right now.

For numerous reasons: I was actually meant to go back to school today but didn't because I had a migraine early this morning. And it was really weird because I woke up and felt sick so went the bathroom and my vision practically went, I had ringing in my ears, broke out into a sweat, felt dizzy and I kinda collapsed on the toilet (the lid was down XD) where I sat and waited for it to pass. But it was so scary because I didn't really know what was happening. Anyway, I think I must have passed out or fell asleep or something because I opened my eyes some time later and my hearing was fine again, but I had that little tell-tale squiggle in my vision that told me it was a migraine. To tell the truth I was slightly relieved because the whole going nearly blind/ringing ears thing scared me.
So I staggered into my parents room, told them, and my dad went to sleep in my bed so I could sleep in the same room as my mum. Then all the other migraine crap came - the banging headache, nausea, etc.
I'm okay now but I still feel sick and I sneezed before and (because I moved my head suddenly) I got an extremely bad pain in my head. Couple feeling sick all day and a sensitive head with feeling drowsy and you can see why I feel bloody awful.

I'll probably be in school tomorrow but something (something not too fantastic) has just recently came to light concerning a close friend which probably won't help things.

I also think TOTM is approaching, so that isn't making things much better.

Sigheth. I hope everything improves by the end of the week.

I had a proper vivid dream about me and random people I know going to Disneyland last night. I can't be bothered describing the whole thing, but it was mostly set in the jungly/piratey part of the park and one part involved a lot of aligators and another involved being about 3 inches away from the edge of a huge waterfall. It was kinda scary actually.

I Am Legend made me cry the other night. I dunno whether this certain part was in the film or not (because like I said last time, I haven't seen it) but the way it was written was just so heart-breaking. I don't want to include spoilers but lets just say it was the chapter where Robert Neville finds a 'friend', the second to last chapter of Part Two. Sob.

Its my mums birthday today! Happy Birthday Mum!
And it's my sisters 21st tomorrow! Lets hope that DJ turns up :S

Hello! Adferais chan ye olde Cymru!
(Hello! I have returned from ye olde Wales!) I hope that translator was right...

Yes, I have returned from my weeks holiday to Brynteg holiday park in lovely Snowdonia. It may have rained everyday but two, I may have nearly died on Snowdon, I may have had to sleep in the thinnest bed known to man - but it was great! I loved it. I want to go back. Now.

The internet has been dead for a good two or three weeks but it's working at the moment so I'm trying to make the most of it.

I've seen almost all films on the cinema that I wanted to this summer. First it was Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (completely different to the books), then Mamma-Mia! (Pierce Brosnan singing - thats all I have to say) and The Dark Knight (we got sucked in by the hype so were slightly diasappointed, but I can't deny it was still very good, and the Joker was teh awesome.) I also wanted to see Wall-E and The Mummy, but what can ya do.

Craig lent me 'I am Legend' the other day. The book, not the film (which I haven't seen yet). He said it's very short (only about 150 pages long or something) and I think I'm up to chapter 7 right now. Its been really good so far. The bit where he notices his watch has stopped and he's got no time to get back to his house before nightfall (which is when the vampires come out) was very good. I feel really sorry for the guy XD

I can get new earrings this Friday! Woo!

I've nearly finished Phoenix Wright! Woo!

Only one week left till school! Booooo!

2008-07-21T11:44:00.002+01:00

Hey. I don't actually have anything much to say. I'm just so bored.

I went and got my ears pierced on Friday in the end, no big deal. My left ear keeps hurting though, it's annoying.

I watched Batman Begins last night. Pretty cool, although live-action Batman is always going to supply a little chuckle of ridiculousness, no matter how good the film is. I think I might poke someone into taking me to see The Dark Knight now.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Next Wednesday me & my mateys are gonna go see Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging. I haven't actually seen ANY trailers for it but I've read the book so it should be okies. We'll get in cheaper because of that amazing little thing called Orange Wednesdays and, because I think you're the only one of my friends who reads this Vicki, you know you can come along.

Gotta go to a BBQ Wednesday night at my great aunties. Should be fine, and it'll be nice to see everyone again.

Er. I think I've ran out of things to blab about.

Au revoir.

2008-07-15T16:19:00.002+01:00

Whoaza, I just realised that my counter over there somewhere (-->) says I've had 1004 different people visiting this thing since the end of August last year. That's crazy. And slightly scary.

But anyway, we finish for summer on friday! Boooooooyah!

And I think I'm getting my ears (haha, I almost typed eyes there for some reason) pierced on either Saturday or Monday! I hope I don't chicken out XD

And I completed ICO last week. I loved that last hour or so. LOVED IT. Although that's mostly down to there being hardly any shadow monsters, if any. I hate those things...

Curse you, shadow monsters!!
(lame pic I know. Best I could find XD)

Survived the Enterprise thingy. We had 2 days to organise 'The Merseyside Olympics'. We didn't win (or even come 2nd or 3rd) but we still won more trophies than anyone else, so it wasn't a complete waste of time/my sanity. We got Best New Sport, Best Volunteer somethingorother and one of the three Most Enterprising Students awards (for Carina).

Moving on, it was my sister's graduation on Thursday. She graduated from Liverpool Uni with a 1st! Woo for her! The ceremony was pretty boring (and the continuous clapping left all our hands tingly afterwards) but the rest of the day went good. We took loads of photies and we went to a Greek restaurant for tea. Mmm, that was some nice foods.

Right, now Saturday. Saturday, Saturday, Saturday... why art thou so cruel?! To start off this 'lovely' day teh P Pain struck with satanic evilness causing me to roll around on the sofa groaning for a couple of hours. But evil was not through with me yet. Oooh no. Y'see, I must have squeezed my hot water bottle so much due to the pain that - guess what? IT BURST! ALL OVER MY LEG! Yeah, so I screamed from the scorching water that had just soaked my leg, causing my dad to run into the room in a mad panic and then he pushed me up the stairs (while I was crying and screaming in pain, from both burning AND P Pain) and stand in the bath while he showered my legs with freezing cold water for a whole 25 minutes to stop the burning. Luckily, the water from the hot water bottle was about half an hour old, so it wasn't as hot as it could have been, so I didn't have to go to A&E (thank the Lord). Anyway, my feet were completely numb from standing in freezing water for half an hour so dad had to help me hobble down the stairs where I then sat in front of a Diagnosis Murder film with wet towels and a packet of frozen mediterranean vegetables on my legs. A while later I was feeling slightly better, but was still extremely freezing, so went and got changed, had my tea, and then watched Doctor Who (which was greatness, may I say) and everything was pretty much okay.

Wasn't one of the best days of my life.

And how am I feeling today? Well, still have some cramps & back pain, and my leg aches and feels bruised instead of feeling burnt (which is weird) but, as Elton John says, I'm still standing.

Got to go to some enterprise competition tomorrow with school. It should be okay but I really just can't be bothered with it, to be honest. You've got to stay overnight too :( and a two day challenge doesn't sound like something that will calm the soul. I'm telling ya, this will be me this time tomorrow:
...minus the emo fringe, of course.
The only good thing about it is there's a disco in the night XD But it'll stress me out even more trying to figure out what to wear! >_<

Oh my goosh! I can play Seven Nation Army (I think that's what it's called...) by the White Stripes, the beginning of Beat It by Michael Jackson, the VERY beginning of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, the main part of Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple and Iron Man by Black Sabbath (I think...) on geetar! Go me! Yeah, the only ones I can remember off the top of my head are White Stripes & Smoke on ze Water, but still. I's a-happy.

I think I'm randomly starting to sink into depression for some unknown reason, but I guess I could always watch the Bean, Box & Dude movie thingys (HELL YEAH) or I could just sing Live and Let Die.

When you were young and your heart was an open book,
You used to say live and let liiive,
(Oh no you didn't, no you didn't, no you diiid),
But when this ever changing world in which we live in,
Makes you give it a try...
(Do do do)
SAY LIVE AND LET DIIIE!
DUUUUN DUUUUN! LIVE AND LET DIIIIE! DUUUN DUUUN.
LIVE AND LET DIIIIE! DUUUUN DUUUUN! LIVE AND LET DIIIIE!

Had a pretty mixed day today. I've been ridiculously tired all day (darn Apprentice final going on forever last night... but still, yay for Lee!), we did an experiment in science & I got so stressed out for some reason, it was the last day to finish the project in ICT & I got really stressed out yet again, and then this afternoon we had a geography GCSE exam. It was human geography too. Hrrr.

Anyway, I traipsed home and played on Guitar Hero for a bit and (thankfully) that loosened my uptight self up a bit and, apart from obviously still being shattered, I's okay now!

This has got to be the most pointless post ever, but what's a diary for if not rants?

Also: I'm downloading Lego Indy!

I had an awesome dream the other week. I enjoyed it so much that I scrawled down some notes about it in my notebook so I never forget it. I feel like sharing these notes. Here are these notes.

Best Dream Evar
-People from school in ICT room arguing over who played Harvest Moon first.
-School morphs into youth hostal place that I stayed in with geography.
-Giant storm cloud with mulitple eyes (reminded me of an Okami monster) threatens huge storm.
-Have to evacuate school.
-A room with clones in says we have to be injected with some stuff to reach afterlife because we're gonna all die in the storm.
-I refuse because I think they're changing us into alien slaves (which they are).
-Some cool alien stuff.
-I go wake up Indiana Jones and we save the day.
-Somehow turn up in Zavvi and Carina's there buying a poster or something
-Randomly on a beach where people are throwing Rock Band instruments into the sea and using them as float + stuff.
-Randomly back at my house playing Rock Band and listening to The Tide is High by Blondie.
-And to top it all off I woke up with a Rise Against song in my head.

It was crazy, yes. But I thought it was great XD

Another thing I thought was great (and actually made my brain splode a little from it's greatness) was Lost Season 4 Finale. Oooooooooh yes.

I used to see Lost as a rather ridiculous, too-freakin-confusing programme that I only watched because it was slightly interesting, I'd come so far watching it I wasn't about to stop and I liked a few of the characters. But this season... oh my god. BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD.

Every episode of this series was great but the finale was too awesomely amazing. It was just so entertaining!

List of Amazing Finale Stuff That I Can Think Of Off The Top Of My Head:
-Sayid's fight with Keamy (I have no idea how you spell his name, all I know is I think it's hilarious for some reason)
-Gun battle!!
-Keamy comes back with a vengeance and Ben stabs him up to hell! You had it coming Keamy!!
-Sawyer sacrifices himself by jumping off the helicopter :(
-Jin and Michael go boom *little tear*
-Ben goes & turns that wheel thing in that cold place >_>
-Locke is the new leader of the Others
-Sawyer swims back to the island! Huzzah!
-Island goes 'plop' (hahahaah)
-Desmond & Penny get reunited! Awwh :)
-Miles says something about Charlotte being on the island before
-Kate has a creepy dream with Claire in it (where is Claire anywho? With Jacob?)
-Oceanic 6 wash up on an island and are saved
-(Just heard this name on dev before - it's hilarious XD) 'Matrix!Ben' shows up and tells Druggie Jack they all have to go back to the island... even him... that dude in the coffin next to you...
-...MR JOHN LOCKE!!! DUN DUN DUUUUN.

Two more series to go! That means only two more series to explain about that darn four-toed statue!

"stressed is desserts spelled backwards, so have a cookie and chill"

I did not know that stressed was desserts backwards!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!?! >_>

Not quite as cool as racecar spelt backwards = racecar ... but still.

Also - Eurovision in an hour XD

Hehe, I've got the Media Player on shuffle for every song on my PC right now. I'm currently bopping my head to 'Whitney Housten - How Will I Know' XD AWESOME!

Anywhos, its my parents' Silver Wedding Anniversary today - yep, 25 years! They went to Paris this past weekend and my dad gave my mum a ring on the top of the Eiffel Tower! Awwh, how sweet is that :D We're meant to be going for a meal sometime tonight too.

That reminds me, I'll have to go wash my hair soon, seeing as how a lovely seagull or other flying hell-beast decided to drop one on my head today in the school yard. How lucky am I, eh?

CARRY ON! YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER! CARRY ON! DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAA!

...sorry, just got to that bit in the song >_>

Slightly random question but anyone know anywhere you might be able to download the music off of The Weakest Link? I need it for school :/

I may finally get to play Phoenix Wright on my DS - huzzah! This download better work, I'm tellin' ya!

New Indiana Jones on 22nd! How shocking!!! :D

In other news: It's the weekend. Squee!

Why, hello there peoples of the internets. May I welcome you to my humble abode.

But anyway, I GOT SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT: PLAYING WITH FIRE LAST WEEKEND!! And it's greatness as per usual. I'd quote something that made me laugh out of it, but I can't remember anything right now XD

We had to do Enterprise for enrichment today and, to be honest, I was not looking forward to doing it but it was actually pretty funny. We got split into two groups - Carina, Razel & me and Becky, Viv & Greg' - and the team leaders of the groups had to pick up 3 items from Miss's office and then we had to 'make' a product out of it and do a presentation about it. The presentations were so funny, everyone put on their best 'Salesman' voice and we tried to sell our product. Becky's group were selling a little robot mp3 player that followed a magnetic pen (i think it was magnetic anyway) and we were selling 'Musicup' - a custom made mug gift set with a 10track CD. Hahaha, it was such a lame product but it was the best we could come up with with a mug, a CD and a board rubber (the board rubber posed as marshmallows/hot chocolate sachet).
But yeah, it was hilarious watching their presentation/doing our presentation, and then having the big "Do you have any questions?" battle at the end XD

I better be off ol' chum. My mother and I are taking a visit to the gymnasium this eve and I positively have to get ready now, I do. Tatty-bye.
Walk on Joesphine, walk on. *clop clop clop*

I learnt how to kind-of do a frontdrop today in trampolining! XD I was pretty scared of trying it but it wasn't that bad in the end. And yeah, I've lost most of the skin on my elbows but I can now do a front drop!

Vicki linked me to Charlie the Unicorn 2 yesterday. Gotta be one of the most random and annoying things ever but it is so, so hilarious =D Jenny & me were quoting it all day, and I sent her the 'Put a Banana In Your Ear' song before XD The best line of that song being, "Put a ripe banana right into your favourite ear." Hahaha...

I think we may be going to town tomorrow (so Vicki if you read this in time & get the urge to come - ya welcome to!) but we're all uberskint (except that Jenny one...) so we're just gonna go on a little, shall-we-say 'Cultural' walk down by the PierHead/Albert Dock XD

I bought ICO last weekend! I've been looking everywhere for it and I just randomly decided to check Zavvi to see if their price for FFXII was lower than Woolies when I found it! Just sitting there minding it's own business on the shelf! I was like, "Gasp!" so I just forgot all about FFXII, grabbed it and made for the till, having a little nosey at the people demoing Mario Kart Wii on the way. And not only did I come out with a game that I thought was near-impossible to find except for £17 or whatever preowned on the internet (I got it £13 NEW) but the dude who served me on the till was really good-looking XD And after I left I got a KitKat Chunky & some Cokie-Cola and chilled out in the sun for a while.
All in all it was a pretty C'est Super day!

So anyway, I played some of it last night and it is pretty impressive. Just the sheer size and detail of the castle is amazing (especially seeing as the game's about 5-6 years old) and it seems like it'll be an interesting little adventure. I'm hoping it's as good an experience as Shadow of the Colossus which was also a very "Whoa! Would you look at that!!" kind of game.

Anyway, I better go. Areeeeba!

I'm off school today! Oh, sweet blissful happiness!!

Actually, tell a lie, I had to go in this morning for about 10 boring, pointless minutes with my dad (who was making those stupid Nazi jokes of his the whole time XD. Terrible...) for a parents meeting thing. So yeah, apparantly my target is "To ask questions in Science and give the teacher eye contact so I don't daydream and miss a huge chunk of the lesson becasuse he explains things really quickly & just once".

I discovered a cool & handy little website the other day: www.last.fm You can put what looks like any band/artist in the search bar and then you can listen to their songs! Not ALL of the tracks are the full song, but (from what I've seen so far) a lot of them are. It looks like it'll be useful for quickly checking out a band's sound without having to spend time downloading. I'm checking out Rise Against right now, because their song on GH3 was cool XD

Might try & write some Smarman if Mr Inspiration feels like visiting my brain. Or else I'll just play on Harvest Moon & carry on winning over Dark, 'hem, sorry, Skye.

Haha, after hearing about Rick Rolling for the first time on the local news last night, I found it hilarious to find the following choice of answers on the GameFAQs Poll of the Day...

Teehee!

And if you don't know what Rick Rolling actually is, here's the definition:

When what you think is a link to something you want to see actually directs you to a video of Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up."

Genius.

Over a month since my last post? Yikes.

Only 1 more day of the easter holidays left. Oh, woe is me!

Ohmigosh! In Southport today I saw the new Skulduggery Pleasant book & from the cover alone it looks so cool XD. I really wanted to get it but they only had it in hooge hard-back version, and I wasn't prepared to pay £13 on a book I'll probably only read once. I'll have a little nosey on amazon in a minute to see if any paperbacks are out yet.

I should probably have finished off that chocolate wrapper sketch in my artbook by now, what with school in two days. But then, you know me, I just LOVE leaving everything till last minute -_-

Oh God, I found the most uber-fantastic pairs of tights EVAR the other day. Just take a look at -> these shockers <- ...Yes. I KNOW. But the problem is, what pair would I buy? There's so many awesome ones!! Plus, there's the little issue of them being £13 for a single pair of tights. Just imagine I got a hole in them :O

Toodles.

P.S. Would any kind stranger like to donate £200 to 'The Get Lydia an Xbox360 Fund'? Anyone? Anyone at all...?

This week seems to have gone by in a hazy blur, I tell you.

It's half term this week so, for my birthday last Monday (I'm a year older! nooo!), I had a sleep over with my friends. Thanks to Becky & Vicki, who suggested not going to bed, I only got about an hours sleep XD We just stayed up pretty much all night playing games, doing hairs and writing stories (thinking back, I really should have put a film on but, no worries - still had fun).

Once everyone was back home on Tuesday, I fell asleep in the car on the way back from Jade's and then collapsed on the sofa when I got in the house. I woke up about 4 hours later to the Relic Hunter theme tune (now THAT'S how you should wake up) before hovering round like one of the undead for the rest of the night.

I stayed in on Wednesday. Had a lie in, *finally* played some Okami, yadda yadda.

On Thursday we went to Ormskirk with Margaret (sp?). Got some of that gorgeous lamb from the butchers (it's heavenly, I swear), had a look round some of the shops & then headed back to Liverpool. Because it was only early we went to Starbucks & got a vanilla latte and then we noticed the Converse were still on sale in Westworld. Seeing as I had some of my birthday money with me, we went in to take a look & I came out with a pair of 'Assymetrical' black converse. They're really freaky 'cause the laces are off-centre but hey - they were only £14, so can't really argue.

Yesterday I went on a coach excursion to Warwick & Stratford-Upon-Avon with my mum, my dad, Margaret & Vicky. It took a hella long time to get there but they were nice towns. We saw Shakespeares house in Stratford but it was really expensive to go in, so we didn't. Haha, in one of the shops we saw a bottle of wine with 32 carat gold flakes in it. It was bizarre! Imagine drinking gold!

That's brings us to today. I am obviously in my house, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this now, and I think I'm just going to have a similar day to Wednesday (and basically do nothing at all).

It's back to school on Monday. Things could get slightly interesting due to the 'information' we got last Monday, or else things could be as crappy & uninspiring as usual.

Toodles.

Ahh! Lost last night = ZOMG!

I love that show purely for the fun of talking about it later on XD

Thoughts:
-Still can't believe poor Charlie's dead.
-Oceanic 6? So only 6 people survived/got off the island?!
-"I shouldn't have gone with Locke"-Hurley. WHAT!?
-Charlie is an undead!?
-Just WHO are the supposed 'rescuers'?!

Must. Know. Answers.

P.S. I started writing a story about Smarman yesterday! It's basically about his origins. There's not much more to write, so I'll probably put it up on here/link to it when I'm done.

Adios.

We got our Tetanus needle today in school. I tell you, it did not hurt AT ALL when I actually got the shot but afterwards and now, crap it aches. It feels like my whole arms bruised or something. The needle was only tiny!! Where's the logic?! Haha, everyone was moaning all day, "God, my arms killing, is yours?" XD The people who were giving us the needle had to ask us all these questions before they gave us it and one of them was, "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?" I was like, "What? No!"

I finally sat and watched Princess Mononoke the other day when I was off sick. It was on C4 at Christmas and it had 5 stars so I got mum to record it. Weird, but cool, especially those little white tree spirit people things - they were boss but pretty creepy actually XD Oh, and don't get me started on that forest spirit! He was flippin' terrifying in his whole daytime form!! That face will be in my nightmares for weeks to come!

Whoa, I couldn't believe it when I heard about Heath Ledger's death this morning. Both me & my brother literally went, "...what?!" when we heard it on the news. Not that he was my favourite actor or anything (I don't actually have one) but I was really shocked about it. It'll be proper weird if they still go ahead with the new Batman film, what with him playing the Joker and everything.

Jeez, I hate it when something unexpected like this happened, like just the other week my sister's boyfriend's mate was hit by a car on the motorway (I think he'd had a little bump or something so pulled onto the hard shoulder. He was getting out to see if the other people were okay and...well, yeah), he was only about 20...

It's so sad. Just the way you can be here one day and gone the next. Especially when it's people who were so young and had a whole life ahead of them.
Rest in peace James' friend and Heath.

AieeCarrumba! I FINALLY AFTER LIKE A YEAR OR SOMETHING EQUALLY AS RIDICULOUS BEAT FINAL FLIPPIN FANTASY III!!!!

How stupid is that last dungeon/boss(or should I say bossES)?! They could have at least had a half way point where you could save or something! Never mind going through some big huge castle before fighting a (literally) impossible boss that pretends to kill you then go through more dungeon while fighting another 4 bosses and THEN going the last little stretch to where the last boss is and then you will most definately be killed by it! AND YOU HAVE TO START ALL THAT AGAIN! Idiotic, it really is (still not as idiotic as FFX-2 however, which isn't hard idiotic - just plain idiotic. Example: "I don't like your plan. It sucks!" *Lydia buries head in hands*)

But anyway, now I don't have to bother with III anymore. Thank goodness. By the way, my end levels/jobs where, incase anyone cares whatsoever,
Luneth - Lv 62 - Warrior lv 99 - got deaded
Arc - Lv 62 - Summoner lv somethingsomething - lived!
Refia - Lv 63 - Devout lv somethingsomething -lived!
Ingus - Lv 63 - Ninja lv something something - lived!
So yeah. "LUNETH!" was the only one who died. Lawl.
I was thoroughly disappointed with the ending scene, it was pretty crap. The only good thing that came out of it was that I got a laugh from Arc being gay with that prince dude again XD

So yeah. I think I might play Pheonix Wright next on my DS, heard some good things about it.

Au revoir.

I know it's a bit late but - happy new year!!

I can't stop humming a Metallica song Craig was listening to before, I think it's called 'The Unforgiven' or something :/ At least it's a pretty good tune to hum, hehe.

We went to the Capital of Culture opening concert/whatever-it-was last night. It was actually pretty cool, what with the whole rocking out on electric guitars on various buildings and what-not XD (including the radio city tower! I was like "Whoaza!") I also got to see one of the Beatles - Ringo Starr! Haha! Even if I only saw him on the big screens and him really really tiny because he was on top of St Georges hall...but still. I reckon they could have had some huge fireworks at the end or something though, it all ended pretty suddenly. Not that I didn't enjoy it though!

G'bye!

Hey guys.

Been through a bit of a rough patch at school this week. Things don't half get uber-complicated sometimes.

Moving on, my Guitar Hero 3 came on Monday! I've finished it on medium so now I'll move on to hard. When I first started playing I was like, "Whoa, what have they done to this?" but I've gotten used to it now. I see why people were saying it's changed, you can just feel it (coming in the air tonight, hold on). It's like, you can't quite put your finger on it, but its lost some of it 'umpf'. They shouldn't have changed who made the game. Still good fun though, some cool songs on there.

What is it now? 11 days till Christmas? Squee!

G'bye!

I LOVE YOU HEADCAT!!

Tuesday 4th December 2007

2007-12-04T19:05:00.000Z

I have to tell you, my right hand is so cold right now. Darn mouse...

Yeah, so anyway, my life right now? Same old story. Early mornings, crappy school, home, bed, early mornings, crappy school...and so on. And don't take that the wrong way. Don't take it as, "MY LIFE'S A MISERY!! DAMN YOU CRUEL WORLD!!"...even though it did kinda had a 'mi life sux' ring to it.

...

I just started waffling. My apologies.

Anyway, when I do get home my routine lately seems to be grab some milk & a biscuit & then watch some 'toons. I blame Becky to be honest. But anywho, it always seems to be the last 15 mins of Fairly Odd Parents (I get in at quarter past the hour) and then I head on over to Cartoon Network for Storm Hawks (<- you can poke so much fun at that show, but it's still great XD). Then I usually go on the internets or something equally as mundane. Sigh.

What to talk about...what to talk about...erm...I ordered Guitar Hero 3 last night. It was about £7 cheaper on play.com than, like, the rest of the world, so I'm a pretty happy bunny right now - Despite the rumours there's something "not quite right" about GH3, it's "lost it's charm" and the fact that I don't even HAVE it yet (I'm waiting on the postie). But still, NEW GUITAR HERO SONGS!! Huh-zah!

I'd like to reccomend an absolutley fantabulous book to you peoples - Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy. Finished it last night and it was freakin' greatness it was! I mean, skeletons, detectives, wizards and good ol' wisecracks are fab on their own, but mush them all together and you've got yourself some AWESOME! Can't wait till April '08 for the next book!

Well, I'm bored and have geography homework to do (gotta draw some lame picture for a presentation that then needs to be photocopied and given to my 'marvellous' classmates for them to label as I ramble about floods. Oh joy of joys) so I'll be on my way.

'Till next time my eAmigos! (see what I did there??? With the 'e'??? 'Cause we're online???...Did I just hear a tumbleweed?)

G'bye!

Impressive.

2007-10-17T19:54:00.000+01:00

That's what I've got to say about the Playstation 3. Down right impressive.

My brother bought his about a week or 2 ago but I only got my first proper play of it last night. I had a go of Motorstorm - so much fun XD. The crashes are proper great, heheh, especially if you're on a motorbike/quadbike. Then he showed me the demo of SKATE that he'd downloaded and that looked like good fun. We turned it off after a few mins though because he wanted to show me Warhawk. How great is that game?! Warhawk, I mean. Haha, after he'd shown me the basics of how to play it we joined a proper game (it's an online game) with loads of other people on it. We snuck into the enemy team's base but we got spotted so we were hiding in this little tower thing. The next minute our Craig's character has been killed and he's telling me to move out of the tower. Thing is, I didn't realise he had been killed so I stayed in the tower where I could see another player (thinking it was my brother) and got sliced to death XD. Sounds pretty lame right now, but it was funny at the time lol.

Anyway, after hearing a few bad things about the PS3, I was surprised by how good (and really clever) that console really is. 'Tis reccomended - if you have the money!

Grapes HAS MOVED

2007-09-18T17:07:00.000+01:00

You can now find the epic story of 'Grapes' at the new blog www.mysweetchestnut.blogspot.com
I will post on here every time a new chapter is added.

If you are new to Grapes why not try Chapter 1:

Chapter 1
Leon woke up hot and sweaty. It had been like this since Ramon Salazar died in Ramon's castle. Oddler Saddler was nowhere to be seen and as for Ramon, well, Leon has disposed of him. So Leon decided to live in the castle with his dead friend's body, Luis.
Ashley heard Leon's footsteps. She'd told her dad she wanted to stay with Leon. Leon had objected but Ashley insisted. She didn't want to miss Leon's next adventure. They had killed El Gigante, Delago, the Bella Sisters, Doctor Salvador, Bitores Mendez and, of course, Ramon. Ashley had decided she would rather risk her life for fun than be bored in the White House. She closed her eyes and fell to sleep.
"Woof," barked Razzle. Leon had saved him from a trap while he was looking for Ashley. Leon and Razzle had also killed El Gigante. Razzle adored Leon so Leon kept him.
"Woof."
"Shush Razzle, you'll wale up Ashley."
"Woof."
"Oh Razzle shu...oh my god."
Leon dropped the milk on the floor. And a grape.

The Horror Returns!

2007-09-04T15:43:00.000+01:00

Yeah, so we went back to school today. It's still the same pile of crap that it used to be but I have to admit the day wasn't all too bad. In the morning we just stayed in form till break and then had double geography (which was really easy). In the afternoon all we had was double science which was also really easy. I actually quite like the class I'm in, they seperated top set into two and there's pretty much no scumbags in the class. Hehe, the teacher even said we'll be watching parts of Terminator because it has something to do with speed or something. I'm hoping that it'll be a part from the first one with good ol' Kyle in it, but I can't help thinking it'll be from no.3 :(. Oh, but wait, it'll probably be next week when I'm not gonna be in. Damn. Ah well, I'll get over it.

800th Birthday, 50-something-th Birthday, 20th Birthday

2007-08-30T13:46:00.000+01:00

There's been three birthdays over these past three days. The first, the 800th birthday, was Frank's. The robot who lives in my garage.

Although, seeing as how I don't know a Frank, don't know any robots (unfortunately) and don't have a garage this probably isn't true.

The truth is it was the city of Liverpool's 800th birthday on Tuesday. Some funky costumes & sculpture-things in the parade and fireworks in the night. To be honest, I've seen better fireworks.

Yesterday was my mum's birthday. She wanted to go and see Hairspray so we rode into town on the bus, met my sister outside her work to give her the house key and then walked down to the Odeon. I wasn't too fussed over seeing the flick, but it turned out to be pretty fun, entertaining and enjoyable. Corny as hell, yeah, but good none-the-less. In the evening, our Craig & Sarah decided to take us all out for tea at Wetherspoons. BBQ Chicken Melt needs a...a...well, I've sat here for a few minutes and can't think of a word, so, that's that.

And today is my sister's 20th birthday. Honestly, you'd think it was her 70th birthday or something, the way she was saying to me last night, "Oh, I'm getting old Lydia!! Tell me how old I am!!" "You're 19 Sarah. 19 for another hour or so." "Tell me again how old I am!" "You're 19." "Again." "You're 19." "Again."......
This really did happen. At about 11 oclock at night too. Heh, it was kinda funny though. In a weird sort of way.
We're not doing anything special today as a family because she's having a party at her own house. I wish her luck with that!

Well, that's all there is to say.

Toodles.

Trogdor Tee

2007-08-23T21:54:00.000+01:00

Well I actually got up (kinda) early today. I still got to watch The Crystal Maze though, I only got up an hour earlier than my normal 10:30. Anyway, it was that time again - time to go the hairdressers. Ugh. I mean, I like it when my hairs done and stuff, but I just hate going. I always feel pressurized (sp?) into talking to them but I never know what to say lol. And this time round the girl who was blow-drying my hair did it so it kinda 'curled' under my chin abit and, yeah, it looked nice when it was first done & everything but as soon as I arrived in the lovely seaside town of Southport at dinnertime KABLAMO! it was wrecked. As soon as I got in the door before I just ran for the straighteners. Seriously. And she said she'd blow-dried it STRAIGHT. My butt to that! I shouldn't complain really, they're nice people who do your hair, but still, it kinda annoyed me.

Anyway, I just wasted a whole bloomin' paragraph on that, even though that's not my main topic for this post. The main course is (yes, as the title suggests), today, as I walked to Central Station to meet my sister, with my mother in tow, I saw, a man, with...A TROGDOR T-SHIRT! Really! He was just crossing the road when I shouted, "Whoa!! He has a Trogdor t-shirt!". I was in serious awe. Serious. I've seen them in the store on the site like, but to actually see it in person......gaspeth.

Hehehe, I've still got 'I'll make a man out of you' in my head. Yes. The song off Mulan. The BEST song off any film I can think of at this precise moment. What makes it even better is Jackie Chan sings the Chinese (?) version of it! Shocking, I know!

Anywho, I'm probably boring you (even though I doubt anyone actually reads all this crap) so I better go. We may be watching Heroes tonight! Huzzah! Peter & Hiro should really...run for Presidents of the World or something. They deserve it dammit!

...

Toodles.

Wish Me Luck

I've got two Biology Science tests tomorrow. That four hour revision session yesterday better not have been for nothing.

Wish me luck.

Too Much Pressure.

2007-06-22T20:54:00.000+01:00

You know, my school is full of loons. Seriously. And not the amazingly-hilarious variety either.

I'm in year 9, right, and I dunno what it's like for other countries or whatever but we're not meant to start our GCSEs till next year - year 10. But no, the freakin' Academy has to have us starting our GCSEs a year EARLY don't they?! Yeah, it doesn't sound like a bad idea but when you're having all this "you've got a big test next week, so come here's a million tests for you to practise with" thrown at you when we haven't actually ever experienced any type of pressure like this before in our lives is just....nasty.

Like for instance, we just did our GCSE Statistics exam yesterday when it was actually meant to only be taken by the year 11s. This exam also had coursework to be completed with it too though, so we've had to come in on Saturdays twice (plus once for revision, which I didn't go to) to do that. The thing that really gets on my wick though, is the fact that WE HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT ANY OF THIS CRAP BEFORE!!!!!!!! 'Cause even in the coursework sessions they just basically TELL you what to write, not TEACH you it. Damn, that test was hard. And we have up to four (although luckily I only have two) science tests on Monday, which we have to go to a revision session tomorrow for. Okay, I know they're trying to help you get the best grade possible & all that (although I can't help thinking they just want you to do well so they look good for their bosses) but seriously, WHO wants to wake up at 8am on a Saturday morning after getting up at 7 every day for school the previous week. And that means that really we only have a one day (ONE DAY!) weekend. It's absolutely diabolical it is.

You know, I could rant all day about maths tests, ICT coursework (although I DID find out I got a grade B today for the unit, which I was happy about), Miss Askew, the rest of her evil minions, the skanks & scumbags that wreck my life daily, and all the rest of it. I honestly could. I mean, I used to think my life wasn't all that great & that I hated school & everything but, to tell the truth, if I'd known what the NLA was going to be like, I might of actually appreciated everything I had.

ZOMG?!!"!11 TWO HOLIDAYS!!!

Booyah! My mum and dad told me last night that we're going to Salou for 3 nights in July! Yay! I don't think I've ever had two holidays in one year before (we're going to Majorca in September, that was booked ages ago) and not only that, but it's the day after I finish school for summer! So I get a holiday at the start of summer & at the end! Sweet sweet joy. God, I can't wait now.

Squuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeee!

Riiight, I had a dream last night that someone stole my Subway sandwich...

...

Yeah, I know how this sounds.

Strange thing is, I've never even been to Subway in my life. It was really vivid as well, I can even remember choosing the stuff to go on it - chicken, lettuce & tomato sauce. It was so weird. One minute I was holding the Subway sandwich & the next I was holding no Subway sandwich. Hahahaha! It's so random! Even randomer than that dream with Bill Clinton...

FF Dreams

2007-05-15T19:04:00.000+01:00

Holy crap, my friends are insane. Well Becky & Jade anyway. They both had dreams the other night about Final Fantasy (yes, they are obsessed) and they were both pretty hilarious. Well Becky's was, while Jades....was kinda disturbing more than anything else. But that's another story. Here's Becky's (she's turned it into a script. Lydia is moi):

Jade house in an unknown room.

(Jade, Becky and Lydia are playing final fantasy 12. The PS2 blow up.)
Jade:(reeling in horror) omg what has happen to my PS2.
Lydia:(also reeling) a fuse may have blown.

Jade: I love you
Balthier:excuse me but may i have some water?
Jade: I love you
Balthier:excuse me but may i have some water?
Jade: I love you
Balthier:excuse me but may i have some water?
(above convosation continues in the backgroud).

(Lydia talking to Vaan)
Lydia:So what do you do?
Vaan:I want to be a sky pirate. I love being in the air.
Lydia:Like faeries?
Vaan:Yep.
Lydia:Cool

(Becky in the background).

Becky: This is disturbing.

(Basch, Fran, Ashe and Penelo enter through the T.V. Jade's mum enter through a door with a tray of tea. jades conversation is still in the background. The conversation fades in to the main talk.)

Jade: I love you
Balthier:excuse me but may i have some water?
Jade: I love you
Balthier:excuse me but may i have some water?
Jade: I love you
Balthier:excuse me but may i have some water?
Jade: I love you
Balthier:Does she have mental issues?

(Lydia is talking to Vaan)

Lydia:So do you have a girlfriend?
Vaan:Nope.
Lydia:A boyfriend?
Vaan:(hands on hips) No way, girlfriend.
Lydia:Do you have a pig?
Vaan:No

( Becky is plaiting fran's hair and talking to Ashe.)
Ashe:Boys are like so immature
Becky:Tell me about it
Ashe:I mean you like totally get your hair done all like gorgeous and they go all girl on you.
Becky:Well yano men.
Fran:They are just like mist.

Basch goes to the t.v. and plonks the T.V.

Basch: yay no more game.

Yeah.

My badges (y'know little ones that you stick on your bag or coat or something) are officially lost. They have been for a couple of weeks (maybe even months) but I've asked around and no one has no idea where the hell they have gone. *weeps* WHERE ARE YOU GODDAMN IT?!!??! It took me ages to collect all of them and I even spent £1.50 (yes, ONE POUND FIFTY!) on my Mighty Boosh kittens one because I saw it on eBay and was just, well, drueling basically. Owh, it isn't fair.

I think I'm slightly hyperactive.

(Oh, I didn't explain what the title of the previous post was all about. Well sorry but I can't be bothered now. That time has passed.)

I went to see Casino Royale with Becky on Saturday. Great film but I'm still not sure whether Daniel Craig is James Bond (well of course he is but, whatever). Yeah, he's good and everything but is he the James Bond? Meh, maybe it's just me being stupid. I swear, that man must wear contact lenses. His eyes are freakishly blue. Freakishly.

Only one more week of school before that darned 'Enrichment Week'. At least we can go to the science museum in Manchester on the Wednesday for free. Yeah, I've been before (and it's slightly boring at times) but it beats school that's for sure. Our english teacher said we were meant to be going to a pantomime too but who knows.

LOST

2006-11-18T13:30:00.000Z

Hoorah, Lost Season 3 starts on Sunday!

I bet a few people aren't too happy that it's moved from Channel 4 to Sky One. My uncle included - he'll be coming up every Sunday night to watch it now (or we'll record it for him, whatever). My brother started watching it a couple of weeks ago because he downloads them on his PC and he said this series is going to be about the Others. Hopefully we'll finally get some answers about them. Although, being Lost, if we find out one piece of information a whole new round of mysterious-ness will start. It's one vicious circle of "What the hell?" that show. For instance, in the last series we found out the button in the hatch was 'real' (didn't we? It confused me...) but then at the very end it looked like that woman (Desmond's girlfriend?) had found the island, leaving you with a pretty blank face. Followed by a scrunched up confused-looking one. Hmm.

Oh well, all that's left to say is - Let the strangeness begin.

Stuff I gotta do.

Okay, this is for my own reference really so you can ignore this.

Art - Japanese Warrior picture [X]
Art - Kuniyoshi research [X]
Maths - Test [X] (apart from about 2 questions)
Business - Franchise sheet [X]
English - Song thing [X]
Picture - Halloween [X]

Sigh.

Geez, I haven't written a blog entry in yonks...

Oh my good God, school annoys me so much. Yesterday has got to be THE worst day I've experienced in a very long time. This week, because it's the last before half term, is called 'Enrichment Week' and basically that means we're off timetable and we do fun stuff.

Or so they said.

The whole 'off timetable' thing was actually a blatant lie because on Monday and Tuesday it was business as usual. And, god, the 'fun' part....pfft! Yesterday we had to do all this crap team work thing in form class in the morning which was an absolute snore. Then we had to vote for the school council which is a load of crap. THEN we got screamed at by Askew (the head) and her cronies for about 20 mins about a big fight that happened the night before which half of us hadn't even heard of before! After that we were only left with a 20 min lunch! And then to top all that off we had English, Maths & French in the afternoon. GRRRRR!! I was in a crap mood when I woke up and then I had a kinda fight with my mum coz I was gettin all stressed and then I had to go to that JOKE OF A SCHOOL!
Today we had to spend the whole day doing more 'fun enrichment activities'. Including putting up a tent. Sigh. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't as bad as yesterday but geez louise....
And tomorrow and Friday we've gotta spend the whole day watching the netball and football teams play. Woo. Pee. (lol pee) My friend Jade was forced to take part in the netball matches even though she doesn't want to. Could things get much worse?

Anyways, I haven't really got any drawing-related stuff planned so I mightn't submit for a little while. Although, hopefully I'll write another Hazaar chapter next week or sooner because it's half term.

And now I'm going to write a list of all the stuff I'd like to buy in the future just for the pure heck of it.
-Futurama series' (I may be getting a 4-episode DVD for crimbo tho)
-The Sims 2 (the stupid copy-ish version I have now is pretty poor)
-The first Jak & Daxter (I shall get & play it one day lol)
-Jeans (boy-fit ones)
-T-shirts
-Various DS games (although I'm not gettin my DS til xmas)
-New shoes from Primark (they're only £4! Bargain!)
And probably more, I just can't think of them...

Toodles.

Hazaar

2006-09-25T18:21:00.000+01:00

A couple of weeks ago I started writing a story on DeviantART about a horse/pony/whatever-you-wanna-call-it called Hazaar. Don't worry, it's not some soppy countryside story about a farm or anything, it's a fantasy story really - all the people in it (unless stated otherwise) are horses & it's got all strange magical stuff in it (well, maybe not at the moment but I'm getting there). I'd love for you to go check it out so here are all the links!

ACK! PINK PS2!!!! !i!UpDaTe!i!

2006-09-13T17:45:00.000+01:00

I am sorry to report that....*sniff*.....I was right about the PS3 being delayed further. Instead of being released in November it is now not being released until March.

Sorry if you were hoping for one for Christmas....

In a word: Crap.

2006-09-12T16:46:00.001+01:00

Prepare for a rant, people...

I went back to school today. What a joy it was!...not.

Right, incase you didn't know (which you most probably won't), our old school closed eight weeks ago and it changed into the Academy, which we started at today. And man, that place is so....*screams*. Yeah, I know that sounds stupid but trust me, it is a suiting adjective (if you can even call screaming an adjective...)

First of all, we have to wear some big horrible uniform that includes a cardboard box blazer & sticky-out black skirt. Then we all have to have the same humongous, plastic-y, stupid rucksack that's just 'bleh'. There's all these different house's as well (think of Harry Potter) so it's just all stupid and there's loads of different, new teachers & kids there.

It's just so stupid! Why the hell do we have to go into school half an hour earlier & twice a week we have to stay until 4:30! Okay, the rest of the week we get to go home at 2:45 but you can't even go home at dinnertime any more so you can't wait to get out of there at the end of the day. And don't even get me started on dinnertime.....we have to have these cards to pay for food now, that you put money on at machines, so today, because it was the first day there were HUGE queues for this machine and my mate Becky waited half an hour and she eventually got her dinner at 1pm. Class started at 1:05...some people hadn't even got their dinner when classes started so they came into the lesson like half way through. Why? I mean, WHY do this stupid card thing!!!?!?!? Just use some god damn money like we used to!!! Geez louise, and in French we all had to sit boy/girl next to all the scumbags & scallys and you're just like "How the hell are we meant to learn anything when we're constantly being told we 'stink' by some immature, stupid lad!?" Not that I paticularly want to do french but the headteacher's always going on about "trying your best" & "achieveing" and all this other crap. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT ASKEW!!!!!!!!

And I can't wait for double PE on Thursday morning.... o.O

There's probably more I hate about it but I can't remember. I'm tellin' you now, things best get better in time otherwise I may end up bald.

I wonder how many times I said 'stupid' in this post....one more time: Stupid. Tee-hee-hee.....

Last word: "DAMN YOU!!!!" North Liverpool Academy *shakes fist*

I finally got a monkey soft toy the other day (WOOPEE!) but I still can't decide on a name. Any suggestions?

R.I.P Pleasureland

2006-09-06T16:24:00.000+01:00

After years and years and years of fun, Southport Pleasureland is now officially closed. The theme park just sadly wasn't making enough money. Even with investments in making the Traumatizer rollercoaster, Space Shot vertical drop ride and the Casablanca Family Entertainment Centre in the past few years it just wasn't enough to save the fair.Yeah it is really sad that it's closing and everything and it did suprise me at first when I heard the news but when I think about it, I can't help but think it makes sense. It did really only have one big ride there - the Traumatizer. I can't really say because I never went on it (it's been years since I've been to Pleasureland and I didn't like coasters back then) but ok, it might be a great ride but paying an £18 entrance fee to go on one coaster ain't too good. There is the old woodie rollercoaster The Cyclone as well but even £18 for two big rides still ain't too peachy (hehe, peachy...)
Even though it wasn't the best fairground in the world it was still part of Southport and I think everyone's going to miss it. Farewell Pleasureland!!!!!!
See the official statement thingy on the -->Pleasureland website<--

I'd also just like to take this oppurtunity to say goodbye to the good ol' Log Flume (the longest in the world apparantly) in Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The last ride was on Sunday and it was meant to be getting demolished yesterday. I can't wait to see what new ride they're building on the site (B.P.B rocks!) but I'm really going to miss the log flume. We had some good times Loggy!!!!

ACK! PINK PS2!!!!

2006-08-31T13:31:00.000+01:00

Oh yes, Sony is releasing a PINK!! PlayStation2. Shocking, I know.

Really though, I honestly don't see the point in them releasing this on 8th November (according to Amazon anyway, but they're usually correct) because isn't the brand-spanking-new PlayStation3 coming out at the end of this year or sometime next year? Aren't the PS2s slowly falling into the PIT OF DESPAIR (ahem..) with all the new next gen. consoles coming out? Unless....(cover your eyes if you can't wait for the PS3)...they're releasing this pink PS2 because the PS3 is even MORE delayed and isn't coming out til the end of next year or even LATER?! Ooooh no..

Anywho, enough with the conspiracies, the pink PS2 is out 8th November 2006, exclusive to Europe (WOO!) and is selling for £129.99 on amazon.co.uk

UPDATE!

HOLY COW BATMAN!

Listening to: SHAKIRA - Hips Don't Lie
Mood: ...meh

~Again, this is *most* of what I wrote on DeviantART because I don't see the point of typing out a load that's along the same lines of what I wrote on DA.~

Blackpool Pleasure Beach was fantastic!! I love it there! We went on the Big One about four times and we even got to stay on for one of those times (because it was almost closing time)! I went on the Revolution and Valhalla for first time and they were both great! The Revolution was plain strange, going backwards on a loop-de-loop is a new one for me...and Valhalla was funny. You think you get wet on a log flume, well lets just say on Valhalla you may as well swim through it - you get absolutley soaked. Thank God me and my sister had bought rain ponchos (I love mine!) otherwise we'd have probably got frostbite or something because it wasn't exactly a hot day when we went...

I watched 'Kung Fu Hustle' the other night with my brother. I thought it would be some serious Japanese kung fu movie but man, was I wrong. That film was hilarious. There were times when me and Craig (my bro.) were almost crying with laughter. It's not so much because it was full of jokes and stuff but because of the sheer stupidness of it all! "Who's throwing the handles?!" ...ahh, still makes me laugh now... I didn't think I'd really like a film with subtitles but this was fantabulous. I really reccomend it!

I had my brace tightened yesterday *sob*. I hate the dentist, I felt physically sick while I was there - I think it's the whole rubber gloves-in-ya-mouth thing... Bleh. My teeth really ache now. It isn't as bad as it was the first time but geez louise tooth-ache ain't pleasant.

Anywho, I've finished my rant now so bye!

Last word: Always remember, mud is not edible.
