Floop. [23 Nov 2009|04:19pm] [ mood | grumpy ] [ music | Vampire Weekend - Horchata ] I, uh... phew. Trying to get my head on straight. You can always tell it's been a rough week when I haven't updated in a while :P Nah, it hasn't really been terrible or anything. I'm just trying not to be pulled under by the seasonal worsening of depression that strikes every year. I'm really trying to avoid going back to the doctor about it because I don't want to up my 'meds' (ptooie!) beyond the tiny minimum dose I'm at now. I never wanted to rely on an SSRI in the first place, and I really don't want to get dependent on a higher dose. It makes me feel like some emo kid, 'cause I KNOW I have the power within me to beat it without more chemicals. But then that's also a counter-productive mood because sometimes people do need a stabiliser to help them get back on their feet, and so a total 'drugs r baaaad!" attitude doesn't help either. Lol, I dunno. I missed a few lectures a couple weeks ago due to the cold/flu thing I had, so I'm starting to feel a little pressure catching up in a couple classes; namely databases (SQL/Oracle) and Java programming. I'm not waaaaay behind, but I feel like some of it just hasn't quite 'clicked' in that totally-comfortable-with-it way, and I know there's a couple of scripting/programming assignments coming up, so I need to get my game on. What's kinda depressing is how much our class has dwindled, down from 12 in the core Computing class to 5. Yep, there were only 5 people in class today including myself. There's more when you include the Networking and BIT/CIT students who share some of our classes. There's about 50 people taking various computing classes at BPC this year, but only 12 in my specific degree group. Also, I am the only girl. Out of 50 students D: Way to represent, yo. The weather hasn't helped either. Nyaaaah. Stupid wind/rain. I got drenched on my way in this morning and my umbrella blew inside out :( Stupid "wind resistant" piece of crap. Supposedly there's more bad weather on the way this week, and all winter, too. Lovely. And it really is depressing to watch the sun start to set at fricking THREE THIRTY in the afternoon, and walk home in the DARK at FIVE PM >P I'm selling my 16GB iPod and my k800i Sony Ericsson phone on eBay right now to try to pull together a little more money to last us into December. We didn't budget very well this year (lol PS3), so we're just gonna have to try harder when we get our January loans/grants >_> I feel like writing a really stupidly over-the-top emo Sonic fic where Tails cuts off one of his tails or something. I shall take out all my impotent raaaaage on innocent fictional characters, whee! ALSO VAMPIRE WEEKEND - HORCHATA IS *THE* MOST ANNOYING SONG EVER BECAUSE IT WON'T STOP GOING AROUND IN MY HEAD AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. 3 flew higher|Fly higher

Meep! [18 Nov 2009|08:36am] [ mood | happy ] Huh, I woke up to find two months more of paid time added to my journal. I can only imagine that either it's some sort of loyalty bonus, or someone gifted it to me (there was no name attached). Either way, how awesome! ^^ So... I've been slacking on updates again. I dunno why. Must be getting lazy XD;; I need to sort that out. Or not. I dunno. Mmm... Jei and I had liver, bacon, black pudding and onions with mashed potatoes and thick gravy last night. It was godly. We need to do home cooking from scratch more often. Jei knows just how to cook the liver to perfection... and it's actually a really cheap meal because Tesco sells lamb livers for just £1 a pack! What a bargain. I have two assignments due for December 7th now, so I really do need to get a move on with them. One is for Web Development, and the other is for Computer Systems 2. I also really need to revise for the Cisco Networking Academy exam we have after Xmas and the Networking practical. Eugghh networking. While I admittedly love binary and hex conversion and even have a soft spot for subnetting, I really can't be bothered with all the cables. I'm really more of a software person, I think. Although I did enjoy dismantling and reassembling PCs in our Comp Sys lab last week. Maybe it's just network cables that I have a problem with. Goddamn twisted pairs. If I have to make one more UTP cable I think I will scream :( (There is some joy to be had, however, when you test a cable you've just finished making and it works.) I can't wait 'til next semester (I wish they called them 'terms' :P) when we have our second Web Dev. That's when we'll be combining our Programming (Java) module, I guess, to make websites for whatever we choose. Mine won't be Sonic-based at all... oh no >_> Well, the £217 I won is mostly (well, half) gone XD Jei and I collect Obitsu and Volks dolls to make various characters, and we just bought two more; one for human Rotor and one for human Meowth (Jessie and James will be next). So far we have: human Sonic, human Tails, human Sally, human Knuckles, human Amy, human Bunnie, human Antoine, Dick Grayson (Robin), Bruce Wayne (Batman), Alfred the butler, Jim Mack (from At Swim, Two Boys), Doyler Doyle (AS,TB), a baby girl called Max and a baby boy called Henri. Phew, large cast! Maybe I'll take pictures some time. They're all really cool XD Jei's awesome with painting the faces and sculpting the hair ^^ I'm gonna sell my iPod nano 30GB and my Sony Ericsson K800i on eBay now that I have an iPhone that does the work of both. I also still have some Pokémon goodies (doujins, plushies, cards etc) to sell, so I'll try to get them up soon. I dunno how much they'll fetch, but every little helps! Welp, no classes 'til 3pm today (whoot!), so I'mma go play Animal Crossing for a bit then maybe have some breakfast and take a shower. C-ya later! 2 flew higher|Fly higher

WINRAR IS MEH [14 Nov 2009|12:20am] [ mood | excited ] Do you guys remember when I won a hundred and something pounds on Gala Bingo's website a while back? Well, I hadn't been on it again since until today, when I randomly decided to play a quick game again like before while I waited for Jei to arrived. I won £217 o.o Holy crap XD I'm like... the luckiest person ever or something. Two hundred quid, yippee! 14 flew higher|Fly higher

Calendar Girls (and Guys!), =SSMB= Edition! [12 Nov 2009|01:06am] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Sonic the Hedgehog OVA - Look-a-like ] Absinthe Noir is even better than Absinthe Verte. Mmm. Anyway, as a joke I suggested on =SSMB= that, for Sonic Relief '09 (the charity drive we do over there annually) we should pose nude for charity. And now... we are posing nude for charity. I'm not kidding, folks. A (tasteful and discreet!) nude =SSMB= calendar is seriously on the cards. ROFL, how do I get myself into these things? 11 flew higher|Fly higher

Tra-la-la-la! [11 Nov 2009|02:28am] [ mood | cheerful ] I had an interesting conversation with my mum (via emails) today after I told her about the absinthe I got. She says she's never tried it and was quite amused at my 'intricate' knowledge (seriously, I just wiki'd the stuff a week or so ago, that's all :P). She also was under the false impression that absinthe is a hallucinogen, which it is not. It may be different from other alcoholic drinks, but you can't 'trip' on it or anything crazy like that (sadly). I decided that I need to read more Wilde. I'm gonna try to get my hands on The Picture of Dorian Gray to read after I'm done with the two books I got from her for my birthday. The two books being "'Tis" and "Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt. The second and third part of his memoirs, following on from the amazing "Angela's Ashes" (an amazing read, by the way, especially if you have any interest in war-time Ireland and the struggle of poverty that many faced, and still face). I also decided that I probably won't drink anything tonight. I never drink in huge quantities, but I don't want to get hooked on it, either. Besides, make it last, eh? I was thinking today that I really should work on Sontails.com. I think the main thing keeping me from it is the fact that it's pretty much useless as anything other than a collection of my own (and Jei's) thoughts and ideas on a fandom that really is quite small. So I do query if there would be much point in doing it all up the way I envisioned. For right now, the webspace serves perfectly as an online 'hammerspace' of sorts for bunging anything that I want to host (mostly pictures/photos and the occasional mp3). Today and had beans on toast and canned fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner combined. One meal, because I slept until 6pm. Because I went to bed at 6am. Sheesh, I need to sort out my sleeping pattern, stat! And do some food shopping. Yeah. Three days until Jei comes home. I'm counting down the days excitedly. I've missed her so much. Can't wait to start planning our Thanksgiving meal. Yeah it's two weeks' off yet, but we have to make sure it's perfect. On our budget, roast dinners with all the trimmings don't come often. Mmm... chicken, roast potatoes and/or mash, yorkies, stuffing and/or stuffing balls, cranberry jelly, bread sauce, thick gravy, and mixed veg... followed by apple and cinnamon crisp with custard... I can almost taste it... *salivates* Haa... Jei sent me a photo of (the head of) one of the Ood from Doctor Who :D Man, it's so awesome that she's working in the same studio where they make all that cool stuff! They also have stuff from batman Begins, such as the Scarecrow's costume. And plenty of Cybermen, naturally. Although she mentioned a distinct lack of Daleks D: Ohh! We also started a new game of Animal Crossing together. Bob is in our town (aptly named Knothole), yay! Also Maple, Curly and Rocco, with Ruby just moved in. Almost paid off my mortgage and got a few things done in-game already. I forgot how addictive it can be! *Stops to tinker s'more* ... oh, Monique moved in! More kitties, yay! Okay, gonna juice now. Animal Crossing is calling! <3 Pttthhhhbt! 10 flew higher|Fly higher

The Green Faerie [10 Nov 2009|03:44am] [ mood | drunk ] [ music | Snap! - Angel (Rays of Love) ] Daaaamn, I feel good. Maktub Absinthe Verte is some crazy shit, mmm. Just pour the ice water over the sugar cubes on the eyespoon and yeah it's all good. I can totally see why absinthe was Oscar Wilde's greatest muse (and daemon). FFFFFFFFFFFF. I could get lost in this for hours. Lucid dreaming is greeeeaaaat. Hah. 34 flew higher|Fly higher

Writer's Block: Last supper [03 Nov 2009|05:51pm] [ mood | angry ] If you had one night left to live, what would you do? Would you prefer to spend your final night with a loved one or alone? What would you choose for your last meal? View 1152 Answers Wow, morbid much, LJ? I would want Jei and my mum by my side of course... but at the same time, I wouldn't want to put them through the trauma of watching someone die. Maybe I could spend my last evening with them and then simply go to bed alone while they made arrangements for the morning after. Geez. I dunno if we'd really feel like eating if one of us (or all of us! Could be Armageddon!) was gonna die. We'd probably drink a little to lose ourselves and forget the worst. Damn, now I'm depressed. Dammit, LJ! In other news, today is the very first day that I've needed to have the heating on or make up a hot water bottle to stay warm. Winter is setting in for sure. It's almost Guy Fawkes, and the weather isn't exactly looking great... which is bad news for fireworks enthusiasts but good news for me :D; No likey the loudz bangz kthx. Also, re: the woman who dialled 911 to report herself for drunk-driving WHILE she was still driving, she's a fucking retard. I don't buy into the whole "at least she realized her mistake and tried to fix it!" shpeal. She was already driving under the influence, and now she's ON HER CELL PHONE TOO? Fuck me. The operator asks her to pull over and she does so immediately, so why didn't she frigging do that in the first place? Oh yeah, her bitch ass was drunk. I hope the judges throw the fucking book at her and revoke her licence indefinitely. Sorry if that came across as a little harsh, but I've had two half-siblings die from unrelated car accidents caused by drivers who were intoxicated/doped up. Fffff. Angry and morbid post is angry and morbid :D 14 flew higher|Fly higher

Epic w-w-win! [02 Nov 2009|08:31am] [ mood | lonely ] [ music | Dir en Grey - Yokan ] So, Jei left yesterday to do her two weeks' work experience in London at Millennium FX lucky wench grumble mutter blah. It's gonna be so awesome for her! She's going with one of her classmates called Rich. He's a nice guy, and so at least she'll have company and a friend. I'm so proud of her, y'know? Out of her whole course, she and Rich were chosen to go there, which means they obviously thought that they were the best choice! Millennium FX does make up and props for Doctor Who (hence my extreme jealousy XD), and what they're actually gonna be doing for these two weeks is making 8-foot robots (for a different show, though). How epic is that??! Anyway, she was really nervous before she went, but I think she'll be fine. We were thinking maybe I'd go down there at the weekend to see her, if the coach fare isn't too expensive. I miss her terribly already and two weeks alone in this apartment is starting to feel very daunting. But she has her laptop and we were able to talk last night, which was good. So... just to take my mind off feeling kinda empty and weird, here's another Hallowe'en pic: I love this one because of our expressions XD;; Jei's all "*Grabs Jai* Yeah! Come on, Tails, photo op! *Wink, grin*" whereas I'm like "Guh, not again! Dammit, Sonic!" ^^;; Aaaand, well, that's it! Aww, I miss you, Jei ;_; 10 flew higher|Fly higher

Sonic, Tails and Link vs Ninja clan! [01 Nov 2009|06:26pm] [ mood | giggly ] Thanks for the comments on my last entry, guys. I appreciate it much <3 Dressing up as Sonic, Tails and Link for Hallowe'en was epic! I'll just paste what I already wrote about the night over at =SSMB= XD "It was pretty epic, actually! People loved my girlfriend's costume and mine (we went as Sonic and Tails), and we were accompanied by her friend Ce who dressed as Hyrule's Link, plus we had an entourage of three ninjas (Ce's flatmates and a guy called Simon from my Uni). Basically, we spent much of the night messing around fighting with the ninjas over our power rings and chaos emeralds XD Highlights for me included this conversation with a hilariously bitchy (part of her act) drag queen DJ at a gay bar: DJ: Who are you supposed to be? Fantastic Mr. Fox? Me: *LOL* ...no. DJ: You look like something out of Pokemon. Random guy: Pikachu! DJ: Well what the hell are you, then? The WHOLE nightclub: TAILS! *Duh* DJ: ... oh. Are you sure you're not just a giant pussy with two tails? Mmm, can you imagine what you could do with those tails? It'd be like *explicit demonstration* Me: O_o *Hides behind 'Sonic'* Haaah, I love the Branksome XD BEST. GAY BAR. EVER. Also, the smoke machines were AWESOME. Every time smoke came out, the ninjas would hide in it and try to steal our power rings and chaos emerald XD Several people asked for pics with us, and we got loads of compliments on our costumes, or random people making Sonic sound effects XD Oh, good times, good times. Except that the phrase of the evening was "Tails is an alcoholic!" because I finished my drinks first and kept trying to steal everyone else's >_>;;" So yeah, that's that ^^ Obligatory photo of Sonic, Tails and Link below! 21 flew higher|Fly higher

~Fight you to the end~ [29 Oct 2009|12:37am] [ mood | blah ] [ music | Jane Child - Don't Want To Fall In Love ] Haven't posted much in a little while. Winter depression is starting to take a hold, which predictably happens every year. I think it's been said that a majority of people (or at least a significant percentage) suffer from mood slumps in the winter months, especially when the evenings really start drawing in after the clocks go back. So... I'm trying not to complain too much. I'm sure a lot of folks are feeling like shit right now. I have no real reason to be down, so I'm going to try to just suck it up and get on with life - but hey, what good is my LJ if I can't use it to vent/whine a little? I think I'm particularly sensitive to serotonin, or more specifically any variations in how much I get. This would make sense, given that I get migraines that seem to be tied into serotonin fluctuations, and I also have trouble with processing sunlight visually as part of a sensory integration issue I have (tied into the whole controversial autism/Asperger's thing). Finally, I take a low dose of an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or anti-depressant in layman's terms) to keep my 'depression' from destroying me. It keeps me level(ish) during most of the year, but I start flaking around October/November ever year without fail. However, I don't wanna up my dose because I don't want to rely on medication. I'd actually like to come off it, maybe over the summer next year, if I can. God, I feel weird making a post about depression and disabilities and 'meds'. I feel guilty, as if posting about these things automatically qualifies me as an attention-seeking 'emo' or something XD Wah wah cry-baby go take your meds for your ass-burgers and BAWW sum'more etc. Lol. So yeah, I'm not feeling sorry for myself. Just rather low and unmotivated and a little scared about how I'm gonna pull myself together enough to get my act together at college and keep passing. Jei's going to a wonderful work-experience opportunity in London (or near, anyway) for two weeks very soon, which I'm SO happy for her about - she's spending two weeks at MiracleFX studios, who do the special effects for Doctor Who! I'm so jealous XD;; But yeah, I'm not really looking forward to being alone here for two weeks while my spirits and drive are so low. I can't afford to fall into bad antisocial habits again like sleeping all day or not attending classes. And of course, last year things got really bad with my flatmates and that was when I ended up in hospital after overdosing because I'm a reactionary idiot >_> This year, though, at least I'm in a nice home far away from bad flatmates and constant noise/idiocy. In case you can't tell, I'm trying to give myself some sort of silly little pep-talk here ^^; Don't mind me. 3 flew higher|Fly higher

Mememememe [25 Oct 2009|01:01am] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | Darren Hayes - Hero ] Meme replies! twitchytwitch 1. What's your favourite kind of food? A specific 'kind' of food? I dunno, I love all sorts of food, so it's kinda hard to narrow it down to just one area. I do have a real taste for salty snacks, so I guess maybe I'll go with that. But I'm also very fond of Chinese food and of sushi. I enjoy most foods, really, so it's much easier to list the foods that I don't like than the ones I do :P 2. If you could go anywhere in the world and Jei could come along, where would you go? Hmm... well, we've always really wanted to go on a cruise to Bermuda together! Other than that, Japan or Disney World Florida would be cool. On a personal level, I'd love to take Jei to visit Colombia... My father is Colombian but I've never actually been there and it's such a beautiful country :( 3. If any one mythological creature could exist (only this one), which would you want it to be?]No, Pokemon don't count. Neither do Legendaries. Unless they're based off of one, in that case, choose the basis! xDD Toughie (again)! I think Chinese dragons would be beautiful to observe flying through the air or water though... 4. What's your favourite kind of fox, in real life? While I do think that fennec foxes are adorably funny-looking with their huge ears, I guess I have a soft spot for common red foxes just because I'm so familiar with them. There's so many around... I used to have a whole family of them living in my garage back when I lived in London. There's some around here too, and they howl/chatter/screech at all times of day and night @_@ 5. What kind of underwear's your favourite? ^_^ Underwear? Lol. I dunno. I just wear briefs, and occasionally the reindeer print x-mas boxers Jei got for me :P violettsukino 1. Hypothetically, would you rather have a harem or be a part of one? Eek... how about neither? ^^; I can't think of much that would make me that uncomfortable. I've never liked crowds and I don't like having too much attention simultaneously lavished on me. I guess if I had to pick one, I'd be part of one rather than the owner of one. Only because I wouldn't know what the heck to do with a harem if I had one O.o 2. Would you say you've played more SNES games or Mega Drive games? Oh, SNES definitely. I grew up on Nintendo! (Which makes my Sonic affiliation all the more odd ^^;) 3. Do you prefer coffee or tea? Tea! I'm a tea addict and can't start the day without it. I also like all varieties of tea; green, white, redbush, fruit, vanilla, nettle, dandelion, etc... 4. If you could be any type of being, real or fictional, for all time, which you prefer to be? I'm... not sure. I'm pretty happy with just being human, but I wouldn't mind having an old life back again either. Two tails ftw ;_; 5. If you were given the chance to indulge in a single activity that you enjoy for a whole year, what would it be? A single activity? ::Hugs laptop:: Web surfing and general geeking out ahoy! chocomookielove 1. How many Sonic games have you played, and which one is your favorite and why? The honest truth? Is not many. The classics, of course. And most of the modern games. And the stuff on the collections, albeit rather late. My favourite games are Sonic 2 and 3 respectively, because they're awesome and simple and just plain sweet. Uncomplicated by angst or a million newbie characters vying for attention; no ear-melting voice-actors... just plain clean supersonic fun. 2. How the heck do you manage to at least SEEM so collected? LOL. o.o I am the least 'collected' person you'll ever meet. I spend most of my life running around like a headless chicken. I'm not sure how I appear to be in any way 'collected' online but I assume it can only be a coincidence of my typing style o.o Or a well orchastrated act XD 3. Do you tend to live and let live, or do you find yourself nosying into other peoples' life? I'm not really too concerned with the lives of others. I experimented with Paganism for a little while as a teen and, while I moved on, one thing stuck with me; the Wiccan creed: If it harms none, do as you will. Words to live by. If someone wants to share their life with me, I'm happy to listen and take an interest - but unless it has a direct impact on my life or the lives of people I care about, I tend to stay out of people's personal affairs unless invited in. 4. Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? Have they? Yes, all the time! In fact-- Wait, what? D: 5. How the heck did you manage to get together the money for a plane ticket halfway across the world? I dunno if I missed something or what, but daaaang. I have no concept of money. That, and I have a tasty overdraft :D peonyopal 1. What is youre theme song if you have one, or what would it be? Predictably, "Believe in Myself" is sort of like an anthem to me. But the song that really speaks to me most and that I feel most connected to is "Gravity of Love" by Enigma <3 My angst theme is either "Faint" by Linkin Park or "Hero" by Darren Hayes. 2. Favorite all time character? Fictional or otherwise? Oh, that's easy. Sonic the mutha-forkin' Hedgehog. So. Much. Love. 3. Have you ever attended a convention? Or do you plan on attending one in the future? Yeah, I went to Minamicon 8 a few years ago, and I've been to both Summer of Sonic conventions so far. I'll definitely be going to SoS '10 when it rolls around next year. 4. Haha, Do you like Monster? If not whats youre favorite energy drink? I'm not so big on energy drinks. A strong cup of tea is my (very British) cure for all ills :D 5. What are your favorite pokemon? Growlithe is my all-time favourite (<3) but I also love Eevee (and Vaporeon), Koffing and Absol. rainsingingwolf 1. What is your favorite drink flavor and why? -non-alcoholic or alcoholic- My favourite drink is actually water. Nothing beats an ice-cold glass of water when I'm thirsty! 2. What is/has been your favorite class in Uni so far and why? -Or if none, why not?- Probably either web development or programming, simply because I just really enjoy that aspect of computing. On the flipside, I'm not so big on networking, although I do love using binary and hex and converting between them XD 3. What was your favorite movie as a child? I dunno... I never really watched that many movies! Maybe The Lion King or Top Gun, I dunno. 4. What is your favorite movie now? Again, I'm not really a movie person! I still really love The Lion King, though, and most classic Disney films. 5. Favorite non-Sonic fandom? (Classic) Batman and the novel "At Swim, Two Boys". I hope I didn't miss out anyone's questions! I had to sift through my inbox and there was so much crap in there XD Lemme know if I missed you, and I'll go rummage again ^^; 8 flew higher|Fly higher

Ho-hum, it's that time again... [20 Oct 2009|09:22am] [ mood | curious ] Leave me a comment o' randomness; your favourite quote, the best sandwich in the world, a good song lyric, what colour pants you're wearing and I'll respond with five questions you can answer in your own LJ leaving with them an open invitation for other people to give you comments o' randomness. Then you can ask them questions and before you know it we'll all know everything about everyone - even if we've never met! Mine (from bandazgeek): 1) You and Jei. How did you get together? Ahahaha. We're one of the great success stories of online romance ;) To quote from a certain cult movie, "We met in a chatroom~". A role-playing chatroom on AOL (ick!) called 'Team Rocket Beach', to be exact. After two years of talking online and on the phone, we finally met 'for real' when I travelled to the USA to stay with her family for Christmas. It was an amazing beautiful white Christmas, too. After that, we visited each other about twice a year for the next seven or so years, including a six-week stay in America for me once. Then we made plans for University and Jei came here in 2008 to study. We lived in halls, different schools, for that year. Then this year we finally got a place of our own and we're living together for the first time. A month or so ago, I finally proposed to her and gave her a white gold, diamond and tanzanite ring, and she said yes, and the rest is history! :D 2) What made you first realize you were fic'kin? I'm going to answer from the angle of first realizing I was 'kin, rather than finally getting my head around who. This was some time ago, possibly a bit before meeting Jei. She was actually looking for her soulmate/other half/fellow 'kin at the time, which is why we immediately hit it off. This was ten years ago, mind. What made me realize it, I'm not entirely sure... just a feeling, I suppose. Feelings that can very well be put down to many other things, too. I've never taken the concept of 'kin for granted. It's an explanation with many many weaknesses and holes in it. Besides, almost everyone experiences a sense of alienation and 'not belonging' as a child/teen, I think. Feeling a connection/likeness/relation to a fictional character is pretty common, too, especially when you're a young person struggling to find your identity in the world. I'll openly admit that there was a time when I wanted to be able to 'choose' my fic'kin identity and be someone cool, and I tried to convince myself at one point that I was Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing XD In retrospect I find that hilarious. Wouldn't it be nice to 'be' your favourite fictional character just because you like them so much? But really, it's so much better to be WITH your favourite character ;) ::Hugs onto Jei:: Aieee... 3) Are you settling well into your apartment-house? Oh yes! It's such a delightful little flat. It really feels like home. Posters on the wall, shelving and decorations all around, and of course a huuuuge pile of laundry to be done and dishes piled sky high in the sink XD 4) What are your thoughts on Twilight? Can't stand it. ::Gag:: 5) What's wrong with being 25 anyway? Nothing, I suppose. I think my main issue with 'growing up' is that I lost a huge chunk of my childhood due to circumstance and, as a result, I missed out on the 'teenage years' that most people experience as a transition between childhood and adulthood. The years of my life between 14 and 18 kind of disappeared into a black abyss and so I've always craved a return to them, to do them properly. So every year that I move further away from those years, I feel like I'm losing my childhood forever and that I'll never get to experience those things. It's kind of daft; age shouldn't dictate what I do with my life. But I don't want to feel pushed to the fringes of, say, fandom just because I'm older than the average forum-dweller :P OK NAO U :D 19 flew higher|Fly higher

WHOOOOO!! ^___^ [18 Oct 2009|01:08pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] Eee!

She's WAY TOO generous and I love her sooooo much ^^ <3 ( Awesome birthday doodle :D ) She's gone to get Burger King for lunch now, while I'm syncing/playing with my new iPhone (32GB 3GS!).

o hai thar fail! :D [13 Oct 2009|11:24pm] [ mood | confused ] :\ So, you know those dreams where you go to school/college/work in your pyjamas, only you don't realize until it's too late to do anything about it, and so you have to stay there in your PJs feeling like a total and utter moron? Well. That happened to me today. Except... it wasn't a dream XD I actually went to Uni in my pyjama pants. I was in such a hurry to get out of the apartment because I was almost running late that I pulled my shoes and jacket on and ran out the door without thinking ^^; Halfway down the street: 'I don't remember putting my trousers on. ... OHSHI--' But it was too late to go back. So I went in as is, and spent the whole day paranoid that everyone was staring at me in my blue chequered cotton pyjama bottoms. I... actually don't think anyone noticed, amazingly! But boy was I self-conscious the WHOLE day, just waiting for someone to point and laugh at my PJ pants. Fortunately, my t-shirt was long enough to cover the non-zippered fly and the white ribbon tassels at the top. It was so weird... I felt like I was walking in a weird dream all day, lol. See, this is just how I roll. :D PS: FREE WINDOWS 7 PRO?? HELL YES!! 31 flew higher|Fly higher

You the man now, dawg! [09 Oct 2009|10:24am] [ mood | yay! ] From Associated Press: --- OSLO – The Norwegian Nobel Committee says U.S. President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." --- How AWESOME. Yay Obama! :D 11 flew higher|Fly higher

OH HAI GUYS :DDD [08 Oct 2009|09:39am] [ mood | happy ] Hey guys, I HAVE INTERNET AGAIN :D Router finally showed up at 8.30am this morning. Never mind that it was SUPPOSED to arrive last Friday D: But it's here now, and speedy wireless broadband WHEE. So, where to start? SO much has happened in the past few weeks. Jei and I are living in our new apartment and it is SO nice. We've really personalised it, and we've been having lots of fun putting together bookcases and desks etc :3 Flyboy likes building things. Even if it kills my weak hands. Blisters, ugh. The kitchen is lovely, except for the fact that the light makes a terrifying "BZZZZZT!" sound every time it comes on ^^; Oh, and I think I've been spoiled by having a washer-dryer at my family home, because I'm not getting used to using clothes racks to air clothes dry. I keep leaving them in the airing closet and forgetting they're there. Oh well. The bedroom is real nice too. The bed is lovely and big and comfy, good for both cuddling with Jei and sprawling ^^ The bathroom is a good size, too. The shower's not awful, but could do with being a little stronger. The water heats up fast though, which is great. The living room is really nice. It's big and airy and light, because the window takes up almost the whole wall. There's a really nice couch and table, and now we have a desk and TV stand too. When we're done with all our woodworking, we'll have a bookcase and media tower too. Sonic and Batman posters abound! Meyrick Park is a really nice place to live, anyway. It's really close to the town and about a 30 minute walk from my college. The apartment itself is on the ground floor, but it feels like it's higher because it's above the garages. I'll make a locked post later with my new address and my cell-phone number if anyone would like 'em :3 I'm really enjoying the Computing degree I'm doing ^^ I'm so glad I decided to change from Computing/Psychology to just pure Computing. It's much more my thing. The tutors are all really good and the course is a really great mix of theory and practical. This year I have: Computer Systems, Web Development, Programming, Networking Fundamentals and Databases. Drool. Oh, and I finally got a DAB radio! Late or what? XD Okay, guess that's enough for now ^^; Hee, laters! 10 flew higher|Fly higher
