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.

wow, so like. hmm. i’m a bit in shock.

kelvin is using his mum’s iPod shuffle to store files. which is fair enough. only we found porn on it. not just any porn. oh no. bizarre and weird porn. feet in… vaginas, men with 3 penises (WHY? it looked like it had meaty wings) etc. not only that i had a lovely conversation with some girls about men cutting bits of themselves off. it’s been an interesting day.

also, i can take 28 five year olds in a fight. possibly the best survey ever. since i’m lazy you’ll have to google “how many five year olds could you take in a fight”. it had me rolling with tears.

i need sites to pass the time.

hmm.

okay, so whats new? well i signed up to this amazing site called sf0. basically, you create a fictional avatar, usually yourself, and go about doing tasks on the site. only, it works a bit differently. you do the tasks in real life, then submit evidence for completion of the site. there’s some great tasks to do, right now i’m going to do one in which you have to stand on a street corner and wait for something fantastic to happen. i love it. so far i’ve done two tasks, one being the initial “upload a picture of your avatar” and another in which i had to create a spoem. i’ve recieved 3 votes which is awesome! my username is Dicko if you’re on it.

other then that, nothing much has happened recently. i’ve cut my thumb, we found hentai pictures in the college toilets and nothing else has really happened. boring eh?

well, this is it. crunch time. in about 15 seconds i have to do a presentation on what i’ve learned in 3d modelling this year. which isn’t much. and in a week, my whole university work has to be handed in. i haven’t started it. but don’t worry, it’ll get done. the thing is, this year has been so dull. absolutely. there’s been nothing but writing essays and reports, doing research for nothing, and practical work is currently unheard of. apart from sound for games where we occasionally make a bit of music, but then we have to write a report on what we did anyway. i just hope university isn’t this bad.

i have approximately £13 spare for tomorrow (after travel costs). i hope that’s enough. suddenly i’m not so excited to see the golden compass anymore. i’ve read a few comments at drowned in sound and they all say its badly done.  and i hope i get my money next week. ugh this week has been so bad.

i’ll stop moaning. now, music. over at theguardian.co.uk, they’ve compiled their top 20 albums of 2007. it’s a decent list, featuring the arcade fire, battles, lcd soundsystem etc., but very inaccurate. so i’ve decided i’m going to do my own tonight. and i’ll post it tomorrow. unless an album comes out in the next 24 days. then i’ll be buggered. anyway, i read the guardian. it’s a well-written newspaper, and the photography is always stunning. the website is pretty good as well, always a good read.

my friend has come up with an idea of a site where you post things you hate. he’s calling it nojustno.com. look out for it.

well, let’s have a look.

most of last week i was ill, like, really ill. so ill i wasn’t in for most of the college week. what is it? really bad flu. yeah, i’m a whiny bitch but i don’t care. haha.

however, saturday i made it to go see leigh. i had to share the train up with my cousin going to see his girlfriend. it was alright though, entertaining at least. we also got the train cheaper too, as we got a duo ticket. that was quite good. anyway, we got to sunderland, and went to leigh’s house for the usual. it was all rather good, and we ate bagels. we also watched (some of) spirited away(distractions haha). it was bloody good. anyway, we eventually went to pick her sister up from work, and the plan was to stay in sunderland so i could catch my train. but it was bloody cold so we went back to leigh’s for an hour, snug in her bed. it was lovely. i went to catch the bus back to sunderland, but there was a crash. so the bus was majorly delayed. and i was going to miss my train.

so the panic began. we rushed back to her house but her parents had had a drink. so we rang up other people with no luck. i couldn’t get in touch with my cousin as his phone battery was dead, so we had to text like 3 people just to get his girlfriends number to phone her to get in touch with him. yeah. in the end, i got a lift to the next stop and made it on the train. just in time! so that was all fun. when we finally got back in redcar, it rained. hard. we got soaking wet on the way home, but i wasn’t allowed to call a taxi. that was pretty gay.

anyway, i had a really great day.

coming soon is the GOLDEN COMPASS. you cannot BELIEVE how much i need to see this film. i’ve been dying for it since i read the book (northern lights) about 5 years ago. we’re going to see it on saturday at newcastle, it’s going to be amazing. or it better be.

i also watched howl’s moving castle over the weekend. studio ghibli films are always brilliant, but this one was the best i’ve seen so far i think.

Okay, this is essentially stolen from my friend who made this topic on a forum, but basically i met up with some internet friends and we partied in what is known as a “britmeat”. yeah, here it is for your viewing pleasure (it’s HUGE). kudos to richard for making this.

so yes, i’m going to london friday.

everything is hectic and stuff and i haven’t had much time to post or anything, sorry for all you teaplusplusers! (both of you).

but when i get back from london i will be a FREE MAN so i will have plenty of time to update this and stuff, so no worries!

and the other day i saw a big spider in my garden. now, as any frequent readers might know, i am really scared of them and thought it was a camel spider. don’t ask why, i just did. turns out it was a rubber toy. how nice.

well, not much to report on today really.

i’m definitely going to london on 20th of july. for a few days. that’s going to be hella awesome.

i need to speak to dom urgently about arrangements. if you see this dom, get in touch with me! i have a new phone number, ask mike or some other brit for it and text me or something.

yes, blogs to leave a message, excellent idea.

now, let’s talk about myspace. and how much of a bag of shit it is. really. creating a myspace page is essentially signing your life away to the devil; but not in that sense. no, it’s not addicting (though for some whelps it is), it’s just… UGH. you know, you put a picture of yourself up. great. then you look at other peoples pictures. and they think they’re models and edit their pictures. why? why can’t you put a picture up of yourself, naturally? don’t give me this bullshit about feeling better about yourself or making yourself look better, because if you were so insecure in the first place you wouldn’t put the picture up!  no, they do it for the attention. and why do you take them from such stupid angles people? always looking down. you do realise that that position represents a demeaning value to that person right? so by doing that, AND editing it, you’ve just fucked your image well and truly.

or at least i like to think so. sorry, i just don’t like people who LIVE on myspace and constantly edit all their pictures. please, show your natural self once in a while.

sorry for the lack of posts lately, i am now a man of PLEASURE and LEISURE, sorry.

but in all serious, not a whole lot as been happening. nothing to write about anyway. i had a really bad day yesterday, in which my other phone broke as well, and everything went wrong etc etc. today hasn’t been to bad. nothing to report really.

however, today is apparently monumental since gordon brown is now england’s new prime minister. england is well and truly fucked. please, someone tell me what this man has done that’s good. please.

on account of music. well, bright eyes is next FRIDAY people, can’t fucking wait. seriously need to know who’s supporting. SERIOUSLY. GOD SOMEONE TELL ME. but yeah. i can’t really check out any new releases. why? no fucking internet. it’s fucking killing me. someone want to donate theirs?

me and hen are fine, but she’s… well. i won’t go into it, but it’s a bit feminine. mhm. i’ll say no more in case she rips my head off again. love that girl i do.

also, HUZZAH over 10,000 views. wow.

ok, so markalan has tagged me. at first i wasn’t sure, but after reading his post, i figured i had to make 9 statements about myself, one of which is not true. try and guess which one!

ok, here in england we have key stages when going through school. at the end of each key stage you do an exam called SATs. now, at the end of key stage one, i was entered for my key stage 2 exam. 4 years ahead. i was the only one my teacher had ever entered for it. she had to bully the headteacher to let me do it.

i love the rain. it soothes me. you know, just sitting inside and hearing the rain on the outside, knowing some poor cunt is out there getting soaked, and you’re lovely and warm on the inside listening to sigur ros. which is perfect to go with rain.

i hate my mother. lots. i actually can’t stand the woman and anything she does annoys me. i don’t care that you know, she GAVE BIRTH to me or whatever, she’s a terrible mother and i just can’t wait to get away from her.

music! i adore music and will listen to anything from heavy metal to hip hop. my all time favourite genre is indie however, and i love it alot. i’ve been to lots of gigs and discover new bands daily (well, when i’m on the internet), and i love it.

i was once on a life support machine because i had a hole in my heart.

i’m secretly a major geek. i love anime and manga, i have collected magic the gathering trading cards, i’ve played d+d, i know how to code in several coding languages, i play computer games every day and have grew up with them, i’m on a course to create computer games for christ sake. well, not so much a secret really, haha.

i actually can’t stand myself for how i treat people and how i act around people. i can be a true monster, i really can. just awful. and i get upset about stupid things and i just can’ t get over the past. i also have a real problem with trust and jealousy.

me? i’m a complete coward. i’m scared of heights, spiders, insects, deep water, the dark and too much more. always have been. i’m definitely not a fighter.

i used to be able to play keyboard at a grade 4 standard. completely forgotten it now since i was in… year 10? so maybe 2-3 years ago.

so which one was the lie? well, take your guess.
