Nothing to report, except another funny little thing I've come across on DevArt:

"Why do slim chance and fat chance mean the same thing?"


Heh.

2nd November 2008

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

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.

16th October 2008

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."

17th September 2008

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.

11th September 2008

...Hmm. Looks like we're still here then.

OR AM I TYPING FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION?!

9th September 2008

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!

2nd September 2008

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.

29th August 2008

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

25th August 08

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!

21st July 2008

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.

15th July 2008

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)

6th July 2008

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.

24th June 2008

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!

*CRAZY DUN UN NUN, DUN UN NUN, DUN NUN PART*

12th June 2008

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!

10th June 2008

9th June 2008

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!
