alright, let’s talk.

lately, things have been good. i’ve passed college, which is good, and the move to leeds is actually happening. which is fantastic. i can’t wait to get out of the shithole i’m in right now. you know someone was stabbed over the road from me yesterday? yeah, that’s great. the fact is, there’s a load of kids on my road, who will probably grow up to be young offenders and never know their parents because they’re in prison for glassing an old woman. this is pretty much true by the way.

lately i’ve been drinking a lot. which, you know, is HARDCORE. well, no it’s not. but anyway, there’s been a few parties, which have been fun, and there’s plenty more to come. and more stupid stuff you don’t really know.

i’ve been thinking a lot about people from the past. like, henrietta, leigh, the people from the hospital etc. and just wondering what happened, and how i fucked up the relationships between them. like, i can understand being a cunt and all, but some people just vanished. i dunno, it’s pretty odd. i bring this up because lately a few friends have just completely disappeared, or who just show no interest in talking to me. i don’t get it. i hate people.

so yes, i’m moving to leeds and things are pretty excellent right now. which is all you need to know really. i’m pretty drunk.

i’m looking for JPC’s “nightshade wallflower”.

i have haze daze curious is you want it.

so me and rachel broke up. it was a mutual decision really, since i’m moving to leeds soon and we don’t want to become too attached. i can understand, but i still feel pretty shitty about it!

also, i still haven’t finished all my work, and some of it was due in today. i’m sure they’ll call me back but i’m a bit worried.

best friday the thirteenth ever, eh?

not a lot has happened really!

i’ve been slaving away, getting my work done as i have about 3 days left which is shit.

i’ve also been added as a staffer over at a website i frequent. cool.

christ, i just saw a post from like a year ago. god.

anyway, i am still frantically getting work done. although i’ve had a few extensions which is a good thing.

i saw young helen the other day at work. had a lovely bit of banter, we’re just hoping young smoodge has a house party this year. i know i need one.

the other day the most bizarre thing happened. it was about half eleven at night, and i was laid in bed, and i heard something under my bed moving and scratching and stuff. well naturally i shit myself, and i was laid there not wanting to move. i mean, something big was under my bed. anyway, i looked down on the floor and my neighbour’s cat had found its way into my house, into my bed and was now looking at me like i was a complete knob. just lovely.

middlesbrough music live is next sunday, can’t wait.

not much to talk about here, college work is due in like two weeks and i’ve got most of the years work to do.

new girlfriend, i asked her out friday. kept it a secret until wednesday, which was groovy.

quite hungover so i’ll write something later.

yesterday was amazing.

we had the day off so we made plans to go to the park and play football and have a picnic, which i’ve wanted to do for ages. anyway, i met up with rachel and rob whilst we waited for the others, and just had a laugh. kelvin and bayla eventually turned up and we just had the best day ever. there was ball games (in every sense you can think of (seriously, bayla and kel in the bush)) and we went to the beach for a while. we buried kelvin in sand (the usual beach stuff) as well as playfighting with rachel. eventually we head back to the park and rachel had to go, so we just chilled out after a hard day. hide and seek and what not. basically we were big kids for the day. and i loved it. we’re doing it again next friday.

i have all the information i need now and will be making a move soon. you know what i’m talking about.

in other news: middlesbrough music live line-up has been announced, and it’s looking fucking good. noah and the whale, pnau, sam isaac, the anomalies, scoobius pip, black kids etc. i’m there. no los campesinos! or grammatics which i’m a bit disappointed by.

so things are going great. but everyone knows something i don’t. and i WILL find out. (this is a very cryptic post, who knows who is reading this… there are eyes everywhere…)

so it’s been a while (i say that quite a lot), so here’s what’s been happening lately.

i got a haircut.

LEIGH DUMPED ME.

i made a game.

i’m back on track.

yeah, life is pretty great right now. i can finally do all the things i’ve wanted to for a while, but haven’t been able to. my priorities right now:

make new friends

learn to drive

get a job

and i’m well on the way to completing all three. i’ve got lessons booked, i’ve got a cv ready and i’ve already met quite a few people. i can finally go out legally, which is always good. i haven’t been out in like 6 months or so, and i actually can’t wait. i’m going to london in june which will be great. but right now i just want to focus on college work, since there’s so much to do and so little time. i’ve got 5 weeks of lessons left, after that it’s play catch-up. but yes, i’m back on track and it’s great. i could just do without being called a smartarse.

so this is basically an update for gravi, my upcoming game.

so far i’ve got a working moving character (not a big deal for YOU maybe, but you don’t know how long it’s took me to make), three enemies and a nice little laser beam thing. the gravity shift is working so far and i haven’t found any bugs as of yet! one major thing though is improving on the visuals. a lot of the images i have right now are just place-holders until i can make them look nice and come up with a good visual style.

a big problem i’m having is with drawing text and such. i’ve never done it before so i’m having a hard time with that. i’ve got it working somewhat, but the text is fixed in place. i’m also going to buy game maker pro edition. it’s only £10 and i’ll be able to do a lot more with it.

but lately i’ve been distracted with the noitu love 2 demo and i’m currently downloading the aquaria demo to see what it’s like. i’ve heard good things.
