It's been a long while

Conor's new [and frankly hilariously titled] blog has inspired me to update my blog a bit. In as much as 'inspired to update' and 'reminded me that I have'. Ignore grammatical inconsistencies.

Anyway, I'll keep this short; I'm not going to post everything that's happened since my last post because nothing's happened because there's too much to fit onto a blog post.

Also it's unlikely that I'm going to post again, just so as we're clear.

Love from Ben xxx

Update

I suppose I should post something, seeing as things have happened. Contrary to your usual blog, I'll tell you about the events in alphabetical order.

Battlestar Galactica season 4:

Now there's a way to waste some time. Awesome story going on.

Jess' party:

Firstly, I'd like to wish Jess a happy eighteenth. I hope she enjoyed herself :) Although I came out of that hall having slightly broken a window and lost a reasonable chunk of my thumb, I ended up having a great time too. Also, I must put my thanks in to my mum, who is an absolute godsend in that situation. She took off the club's shoddy bandaging, checked for glass in the cuts, re-dressed them, and rang them up to tell them that she wasn't happy about the window not being reinforced glass. So the club should be paying for their own damn window, not me and certainly not Jess!

Oh, and one minor point that I forgot to mention: I'm fine haha. Nothing permanent.

Laurence rang me last night:

At half past one. I don't quite understand why, and I'm not sure if I want to. Some things are better left a mystery.

Scott Pilgrim:

I haven't enjoyed a film at the cinema as much as that for a while. I loved the comic book styling of the whole thing, loved the layout of the story, and it was a laugh too. It was far from the best film of all time, but as far as comic book based films go it's a personal favourite. God damn some of the moments in it were bizarre, though. One moment in particular had even me saying 'what the fuck..?'.

That's all I'd like to report.

Keep it real.

It's been a while

As [will/may be] promised, I'd like to warn you that this blog post is not particularly interesting - I just feel the need to post because it's been a while since my last post.

Blogging seems like a good idea, until nothing interesting happens for a while. So, let's start with college.

Maths is boring as hell. I hate graphs.

Further maths is boring, I hate Dijkstra.

Physics is alright. I'm starting to get this topic, but it ain't easy.

All in all, I'm so glad that I'm next to the people I'm next to in everything. If I wasn't, I'd be so screwed.

I've also got my first Critical Thinking lesson on Monday. That should be good.

I've fallen into a daily routine very quickly, which is good. Only for college days, though.

Town today. I think I'll wear my new jacket.

I bought a new jacket. And a bow for my guitar. I've spent far too much money recently.

I've been getting through a lot of Battlestar Galactica recently.

Erm... that's about my life of recent summed up.

I'm going to warn your past self that nothing interesting's come of this blog post.

Post 100

Long time no blog, so let's get the arbitrary stuff out of the way:

Back to college, happy with new timetable, looking forwards to double lunches.

Battlestar Galactica gets awesome near the end of series two.

Battlestar Galactica season three takes ages to download.

I can't think of the events I've been to/done recently, but I can tell you with some certainty that I enjoyed them all.

Three pieces of homework on the first day? You've gotta be shitting me.

Minecraft is epic. I'm currently making a floating castle.

Okay, into fully formed sentences now. I'm happy to be back at college, and walked around today with a massive grin on my face. I had far too much energy in the morning, it was far too hot, and I couldn't have asked for a better timetable.

I'm sorry to have missed ice-skating last week, but I'd already organised Warhammer a week and a half ago, and Matt and Andy had been waiting a week and a half to do it. It was great fun anyway.

I'd like to see the film of Scot Pilgrim - apparently it's really good. I don't like the main actor in it - he's in a load of really shit films - but I'll give it a fair trial.

I'm really enjoying my book at the moment, makes me laugh so much every time I pick it up.

I'm looking forwards to physics and further maths this year so much, both classes should be such a laugh. Maths, admittedly, not so much. However, I still have Matt - just not our epicly inept teacher. We now have one who is about as devoid of humour as the queen's left nostril. He's so damn boring, I'm going to end up asleep one of these lessons.

That'll do for now.

Toodles :¬¦)

Another day or two

I don't have a whole lot to say. Watched Burn after Reading on Monday with Conor, Lou, Luke and Jason. Imy and Phil came round today.

I want to get some more Warhammer painting done. If I really give a shit I'm sure I could get a full set done before we go back to college. Do I care enough? Probably not.

I have an orthodontist appointment tomorrow, in case you were wondering. Which you weren't. What the hell kind of messed up train of thought leads you to 'I wonder if Ben has an orthodontist appointment tomorrow?

Ask me something of Formspring. I think that site's a good idea. http://www.formspring.me/Artemis150

Upcoming: Ice skating on Friday, Pizza hut on Saturday (I hope they have a vegan option), watching A Serious Man on Sunday, and hopefully Warhammer at some point too.

That's all for now.

Hugs and kisses.

MATT

Matt went away on holiday again. I wish he'd stop doing that, it sucks for me. I hope he has a miserable time and never wants to go on holiday again.

Okay, that's a bit harsh.

I'll live.

He came round yesterday and we ended up staying up until half past four, which is always fun. Before that was town, and half a game of Warhammer at games workshop with a cheating little prick. I want to slam his little head onto the gaming table. We spent a good two hours complaining about him :L Also, Matt gained a stalker who followed him into the bathroom, which was funny :L

Halo Wars

Great game; I've been playing it for most of today. I also went to see 'Salt' toda, and would like to tell you about my experience.

I walked into the cinema fully expecting to see a shit action film with little to no plot, basic american characters, and ninety-five percent of the film length to be made up of action. However, I was thrilled to discover that the ceiling of the cinema had a very interesting pattern on it, which kept me well entertained throughout the film.

In all seriousness, I haven't seen as boring a film since 'Wolfman'. Action scene. Action scene. Oh look, she can pretty much fly at this point. Twenty people shooting at her and she doesn't get more than a graze, she must be incorporeal.

Who the hell writes the plot for that sort of film? Who manages to become a director when they can't make a plot less predictable than 'The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar'? I'm not exaggerating when I say that I could've told you every plot twist in that film after the first ten minutes. I don't know why I even agreed to see the damn thing - I knew it'd be a shit action film from the poster.

I would love to meet the director of that film and give him a good hard kick to the sarcophagus -Yes, the sarcophagus - for wasting my time. And wasting my time at the moment is quite a feat, seeing as I have very little to do.

I'd give this film 0/10, but I don't feel it makes the point well enough. I'm giving it -10/10 I would like to claim back 10 points from this film. I would like to see a film worth giving 10/10 in order to make up for this film.

Now, as for the ceiling pattern, that deserved 0/10. That was a neutral ceiling pattern. I may be misportraying it by calling it a pattern, seeing as it was a blanc white ceiling. However, it certainly deserves 0/10. Whoever directed that ceiling owes me nothing.

Anyway, I'm quite done ranting about that film now.

Take toast out, try again.

Ten things you want to say to ten different people

1) Hi

2) Hi

3) Hi

4) Hi

5) Hi

6) Hi

7) Hi

8) Hi

9) Hi

10) Hi

I suppose I may as well do a blog post now I'm at it.

Today! Fleas. Lots of fucking fleas. I may be a vegan, but that doesn't mean I won't kill the little blood-sucking fuckers.

Secondly, I went to the orthodontists. As you may remember, my old one fled the country [almost certainly because of me]. My new one's a lovely little woman who doesn't shout and isn't a blatant red-faced drunk. She took my braces away to be repaired and replaced. However, this revealed that I have chipped a tooth, which is annoying. Ah well, naught to be done about it now.

Is that all I have to say?

Shit, that's a fairly major topic I've not mentioned; results. It should be good for the fact that I get to see people, and probably bad for the inevitable few people who are crying because they did badly. Ah well, see how it goes.

Gotta love that I'm more worried about other people's results than my own, because of how they affect me by proxy. My results don't matter half as much to me - I can just re-sit if I've done badly. I'm dropping chemistry and I'm confident about Maths, so I can't have that many to re-sit.

However, I don't know what to say when people are crying about results. I can only repeat 'It's fine, you can just re-sit!' over and over and over again. People seem to care about results far too much. Not that they're not important, it's just that worrying won't help at all. It's not worth doing.

Also, I may re-do the ten things thing at some point in a more serious way. Could be a laugh. Could be tragic. Let's not live in conditionals.

Erm erm erm... Nope, that's everything covered.

Onwards and upwards.

See you tomorrow.

The meaning behind your blog name

"Down the Rabbit Hole" is a reference to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It's basically implying that everything's quite insane; a belief that I hold intermittently.

That probably didn't make sense, but that fact in itself helps my point.

Went out for a social gathering with people to whom I am acquainted. It were a right wriggle giggle.

That sort of thing needs to become far more frequent.

I need more DVDs to watch. I watched Dog Day Afternoon, which was fantastic, and now I've run out of decent films to watch. I'll ask my mum, she'll be able to recommend something.

I haven't got much else to say. Just a few thanks':

Thanks to Imy for my bracelet :D I'm really happy with it :)

Thanks to Phil for ruining my whole outlook on the world. Okay, not ruining, questioning is more like it. I'll think it through a little and get back to you :L

Thanks to Conor, for involuntarily volunteering to be my third thank.

I suppose that's about it.

See you on results day.

A recent picture of you and 5 random facts about yourself.

I'm not doing the challenge, but I'm going to answer some of these because I have nothing better to do.

Random facts, hmm:

-I don't believe in 'random', because there's a pattern to everything and a reason for everything. For example, I only thought of this fact because I saw the word 'random'. [I suppose if you feel like being awkward you could argue that something being random or not is a matter of perspective, but you get my point (probably)].

-I've spent nearly two hundred pounds on Warhammer.

-I love cycling and walking.

-I tend to avoid wearing socks and shoes whenever it's convenient.

-I will always have music playing from speakers (as opposed to headphones) if it's an option. I just prefer the sound to be in the room.

Anywho, Matt came round yesterday to play some Warhammer. I lost, twice D= However, I have been planning and shall win next time (I reckon). We watched Reservoir Dogs [amazingly awesome film], and stayed up until three. God I love days like that.

Watched The Last Airbender today. God damn it's an awful film. It may have been quite good, if not for the acting to rival the first Harry Potter film. It was so bad, and their pronunciation was so damn annoying, it was just distracting.

When will my last poster arrive, damnit!

Ah well, the sun's out, and I'll try to make sure I don't sit at home all day tomorrow.

Posters

Only the DeathNote one to go, now.
YES! I just fixed my END key.
I'm going to express again how happy I am with my new room. It could do with some re-painting where there's a massive black thing on the roof and where there's coffee stains on the wall.
Yeah, on the wall. Our neighbours were having a marital dispute and the guy was shouting, so I grabbed the nearest cup and listened in. Kept me entertained for a couple of hours with his 'I'M NOBODY' and shit like that. Other peoples' lives falling apart can be so amusing...
Back to my room, there's only the matter of the pile of crap at the end of my bed that isn't mine. Can't sort it out until my mum's at home, so I can ask her to move her stuff. However, my mum's never at home; so it ain't moving for a while.
I'll explain my current predicament. I'm supposed to be in town at one o'clock. This means setting off at twenty past twelve(ish). Which is an hour from now. I'm ready to set off.
You can probably guess what happened.
Yesterday, I made the biggest house of cards I've ever made. In case you haven't seen:

Killed some time.

I filmed myself making it, but the video was fifteen minutes long, and 15.8 gigs. I have no idea why it was such a large file, but y'know.

Well, this blog post successfully killed ten minutes. Bye

My room

Two of the posters arrived; one of which is far bigger than I imagined! I'm well happy with them. I've also got a couple of game posters, a couple of games, and several Gameboy games attached to my walls and ceiling. Couple more posters and a tidy-up, and I'll have a more-than-liveable room.

Also, my 'END' button's broken D=. I like that button, too.

So, oversized picture of Audrey Tautou aside, what's happened with Ben of recent?

No, I don't particularly care either.

'Ben, stop doing posts where you just say that people don't care what you've been doing and write something interesting.'

'No, fuck you.'

Also, Catch-22 just gets better and better. Makes me laugh so much.

Speaking of laughing, I'd like to thank Hannah for this:

Blu-tac

No, Ben. No-one really wants to read a detailed rendition of your day.

I bought blu-tac, attempted watercolour painting, Blu-tacked some stuff to my walls and ceiling, and am well happy with my room now. It's only gonna get better when those posters arrive, too.

Sherlock is awesome.

That's all I've got.

Mad World

Watched Donnie Darko yesterday and decided that I love that song quite a lot.

I'm currently in a great mood, because this evening has gone so well. However, for chronology's sake, I shall start with yesterday. I've just noticed I'm about to repeat myself a bit, but y'know.

Getting beaten at Mario Kart, playing twister, and getting my nails painted. Saturday morning entailed none of these things. Saturday evening noted this fact, and took it upon itself to make sure all of these things were included in its agenda.

This morning decided that I have been far too dry for far too extended a period, so it sent me out for a walk in the rain. This amused it so much that it decided to make me quite far away from home before it made me realise that my iPod was getting wet, and so I had to go home. Of course, my iPod still had the walk home to survive. Don't worry, it's okay now [in case you were wondering].

Got in, got changed, painted for a bit. I then played Mass Effect 2, but I've already completed it and got bored by the starting cut-scenes [I still remember them from six days ago, so there didn't seem a whole lot of point in watching them].

So I tried Final Fantasy X. Many people will probably want my throats for this little review, but it's fucking awful. It's like an average anime series with annoying american dubs and a mini-game added on.

After that, I bought some posters. I am well pleased. I would show you what they are, but as Conor has told me blogger's mother is being a whore. Subsequently, I cannot upload images. Here's some URLs, to compensate.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000OQOOFC/ref=oss_product

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001VC4SPY/ref=oss_product

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000PYQOJC/ref=oss_product

I also have a map of Cyrodiil that came with Oblivion, so I'll put that up too (Looks like this http://oogoo.eu/images/cyrodiil.jpg). Damn I'm cool.

I ended up spending £35 on posters, but it'll be worth it when I finally have something to make this room my own.

On a quick final note, this evening wanted to apologise for yesterday evening. It had my mum bake two vegan chocolate and orange cakes, and assured me not all evenings are like Saturday, and that some of them are really nice time periods when you get to know them.

Dogville

You need to watch Dogville. It's one of the greatest films of all time.
Last night I was at Charlotte's, and it was by far the most fun I've had all week. Thanks for that ^^.
As for the rest of the week, I've got Richard's on Wednesday evening, a driving lesson on Thursday morning, and that's about it. The times in between will be [probably] spent partially on the XBox (second play-through of Mass Effect 2), partially watching films, partially reading, and [hopefully] partially revising for my driving theory test.
For now, I'm tired. I'll probably watch a film and then go to bed.

Also, here's something to think about:

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man

Bad mood

Not me this time, everyone else in the house is in a damn bad mood. My mum says she's just tired and Jamie has toothache. It sucks. I'm really starting to miss some of my friends at this point, too. I'm sick of my own company. I'm sick of painting and playing on the XBox, I'm sick of sitting in the same place for hours because there's nowhere else to go, and I'm sick of playing guitar.

Okay, so now I'm in a bit of a bad mood. Hardly my fault, everyone around me's being so grumpy

It shall all change tomorrow, though, because I'm going out! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Charlotte for inviting me to hers. I'm sick of this damn house now. I'm sick of the damn cats, too. They won't leave me alone.

I'll need to get something planned beyond tomorrow, too. I don't want to spend another week alone.

I'll see what I can do about that.

Hail to the Thief

No, Ben. Don't just post a title without a post.

I haven't heard Hail to the Thief in ages. It's an album by Radiohead, by the way. Now, before you start mentally sighing and making arbitrary mental comments on me only listening to Radiohead, I'd like to let you know that I haven't been listening to them much of recent. It's been Sigur Ros and Lynyrd Skynyrd for a couple of weeks.

I'm looking forwards to Saturday, which is my only planned social contact for the rest of the holiday. I'm sure something else will happen once everyone's back from various countries. Maybe I'll plan something for once.

As a wise man once said to me: see you Sunday.

New hobby

I've found out how to do this sign: |. I've wanted to know that for fucking ages, and I just found out when trying to write what I originally found.

Now, what I was originally trying to say: I've found a new hobby. What I do is go outside, pick a direction, and get lost. I then wander around for a while [with music on, obviously], and see how lost I can get before stumbling onto Liverpool road, at which point I am no longer lost. I then repeat the process until I find myself near my house and feel that I have been lost for a sufficient amount of time.

It's a much better way to spend a couple of hours than sitting on the XBox, and I'd definitely recommend it. Although I wouldn't do it at night, obviously, what with all the rapists.

Speaking of rape, I just heard a small girl screaming quite a lot. Nope, not some weird joke, I just heard it. Probably some game or something.

That's fine, laptop. Restart whenever you'd like. Not like I'm doing something or anything.

Oh, here's something I haven't checked since we moved:

[URL=http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/902983409.png[/IMG][/URL]

That probably worked. The broadband speed's barely changed since we moved.

Also, hope everyone's having/has had fun on holiday.

Publishing the post helps...

He's back...

He's finally back...

We have waited

And waited

And Matt's back from France!

I'd like to point out that the final 'goodbye' is not in any way serious, I find it funny because it's lame.

Watched 'The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly' before, and that film has it's moments.

Also, the sky outside is very cool right now.

Also, I've had far too much cake today, and I'ma have some more soon. Such an act requites copious volumes of tea.

I'ma watch the rest of Sherlock, methinks.

Need vegan cake recipe [ours keep failing]. Anyone who can help; please do.

Catch-22 is a fucking fantastic book, you must read it.

Keep it real.

First post using only my right hand

My left's far too busy holding my laptop because I'm too lazy to sit up.

Today, I've achieved absolutely nothing. I watched T.V. at my dad's, and watched some Top Gear on IPlayer. I'll paint after tea to make up for it.

I've got nothing else to say about nothing.

A letter to myself

Dear Ben,

You're not nearly creative enough to do this letter writing thing. Give it up.

Yours in anticipation,

Ben. x

Sherlock is fantastic. Everybody watch it. You're currently on the internet, so you may as well do it after reading my amazingly entertaining blog.

I used the word 'socio-path' far too often today after watching that.

One thing to report, a few days ago my heart sank. It sank because I realised that I couldn't drop chemistry. The reason I can't drop chemistry is because I have to take at least three subjects through to next year. This means that I have to keep chemistry on, because obviously I don't want to do drama next year; so I have to drop that.

I was convinced by this logic for a good twenty minutes.

Just to clarify, no I did not take drama. I'm fucking awful at drama. I didn't even consider, for the slightest second, taking it at college. Yet, for twenty minutes, I was thoroughly convinced that I had to drop drama in stead of chemistry.

A letter to some food

I feel I have the right to skip this one due to my first attempt at this letter being exceedingly boring and not particularly heartfelt.

I'm not feeling overly sociable at the moment, what with what seems like half the people I've ever met doing everything in their power to deprive me of sleep. I'm going to royally screw up my sleeping patterns at this rate.

Heena's in Germany.

Conor's in Spain.

Matt's in France. Lucky France.

What with the majority of the people I talk to on a regular basis being out of the country [as shown above], I should hopefully be able to hide from the human race for a day or two. That should give me time to get my sleeping back in order and generally take a break.

Despite the generally downtrodden tone of this post, I'd like to throw it out there that so far, this has been the best summer holiday I've had. I don't see why it shouldn't continue as such, as long as I keep my thoughts in order.

I need to stop daydreaming, it's really bad for me.

Also, had a quote stuck in my head for a few days, so I'll end on it here:

"It is a tale

Told by an Idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."

~Macbeth, William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"

A letter to a celebrity whom I want to kick in the face

Justin Bieber

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I gave you a fair shot. I looked you up on Youtube. You, sir, are a faggot. You can't sing, you look like a faggot, and you have some of the faggiest, most cringe-worthy, and hilariously out of sync with your looks I've ever seen. How your faggy lyrics can be out-of-sync with your faggy looks is beyond me. You, sir, are a faggot of the highest order with more popularity than your average singing deserves. I know you're not supposed to hit a girl, but I would so kick you in your faggy face, given the chance.

It's at this point that I realise that fag means gay, and I would like to apologise to any gay person out there who misinterpreted that. I meant 'fag' purely as an insult, not as a suggestion that she's, in fact, a homosexual. Watch a video of Justin's singing for the definition of 'fag' I've been using.

Blog time [written before the letter, placed after the letter. Thought that was interesting, but it's not]

The last day or so,

I watched some Battlestar Gallactica, which made me want to [and henceforth, I did] play Mass Effect 2.

I had some weird dreams last night. The most recent of which involved a classroom, with a load of people I knew [but don't know in RL], as well as Andy Clitheroe. I found that one of the people, who I soon found out lived across from me, had somehow attached a spinny thing into my head. I'll give a go at drawing the thing on Photoshop.

I'll be honest, I'm a bit proud of that.

Yeah, it was a bit more detailed, but that's the gist of it. I don't know what it was for, but it was in my fucking head. I don't know why.

This led me to realise that it was a dream, but I could already feel where I was [My waking self, that is], so I knew I'd wake up in a second. Ah well, I'm getting close to lucid dreaming.

Letter time.

A letter to someone I want to kick in the face

Dear Queen Elizabeth,

I would like to kick you in the face, just to be that guy who kicked the queen in the face. I have nothing against you personally, it just sounds like a right wriggle giggle to kick the queen in the face. Wouldn't end well, but y'know, it'll be funny whilst it lasts.

I hope you see the joke in this, and don't take this as me wanting to kick you in the face due to disliking you in any way. It's just symbolic.

Yours in earnest, Ben.

Blog time:

Yesterday was fun, this morning was fun, I'm tired.

That's all the detail I really need to go into; anything beyond that would be a bit dull to read, I imagine.

I've been going on about this a bit recently, but it seems to deserve to go on th'old blog. Douglas Adams is a genius, and I'm increasingly realising the genius of this quote:

"People are a problem"

Carry on

A letter to a Dinosaur

Dear velociraptor with a jetpack and scissors,

Please don't kill every mutherfucker in any room with anyone I like, as this will render me unhappy. I'd much rather you killed some useless people, such as people with job titles such as 'Phone Cleaner' and the like. However, as I have been informed of by literary experts, this may well cause the extinction of the human race due to a terminal disease spread by dirty telephones.

So, Mrs. Velociraptor with a jetpack and scissors, I implore you don't kill anyone, due to the inevitable death by phone.

A letter to an inanimate object you hate

Dear shower,
If you were animate, I would probably have little to no need to write with regards to you. However, this is not the case. You are broken, henceforth forcing me to have baths on a far-too-regular basis. I hate baths, I get edgy after about fourteen seconds. They're far too small for a reasonably sized human being and are rarely the right temperature. Even when I actually get the temperature perfect, Isaac's second law of thermodynamics fucks me over and makes it a bit too cold - and henceforth uncomfortable. So, dearest shower, please stop being so fucking broken and sort your shit out.
Yours in anticipation,
Ben. xxx

On a life-related note, today and probably tomorrow are my social recuperation time after being with other people for far too high a proportion of the last few days. However, Tuesday shall be eventful; what with an event occurring. Should be a fine day.

I just had to delete one of the most boring paragraphs of text written since the Harry Potter series was finished.

Those books are far more popular than they deserve to be.

I may go and watch some crap Kung-Fu films. Got an urging for them of recent.

That was an odd way to phrase that sentence. I'm sure you'll survive the experiance and continue reading.

At some point you may realise that each successive paragraph has decreasing relevance to anything, and will henceforth give up reading and carry on doing something else.

Why I'm still typing is beyond me. I could do something else.

Although, I feel it amusing to carry on and see how much I can type without getting in the least bit bored.

Surely you're getting bored of reading this by now? Ah well, I'll assume you're absolutely enthralled by the sound of my voice that you imagine whilst reading this.

I realise that you didn't do that before, but you probably will for this sentence.

Try reading this next sentence in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice.

These pink pantaloons are of insufficient size.

Wasn't that fun? There should be some form of theme-park with similar recreational activities.

I'm not sure what recreational means, but I have a reckoning that that made sense.

Why, by any sane and reasonable logic, is there a tree outside resembling a smallish palm tree?

Life goes on. Which reminds me, something that made me laugh in Catch 22: "I plan to live forever, or die trying."

Seems like a good book so far.

I imagine my readers have whittled down to an elite few who have absolutely, completely, and cataclysmally fuck all to do. Hi Conor.

Internet

It's back, and with a vengeance. Erm, what's happened that's interesting since I lost the internet? Erm... moved house? That was... erm... uneventful. Fuck it, life isn't that interesting, I'll do the letter thing.

day 1. A letter to an inanimate object you hate.
day 2. A letter to a dinosaur.
day 3. A letter to a movie character
day 4. A letter to someone you want to kick in the face expressing why you want to kick them in the face
day 5. A letter to a celebrity you want to kick in the face
day 6. A HEARTFELT letter to some food
day 7. A letter to a historical event
day 8. A letter to a giant space robot
day 9. A letter to the coolest person you’ve never met
day 10. A letter to an alien race.
day 11. A letter to your last body movement
day 12. A letter to a mythological creature
day 13. A letter to a word you don’t like
day 14. A letter to a word you love
day 15. A letter to your crotch.
day 16. A letter to your bed
day 17. A letter to a video game character
day 18. A letter to a website that ruined your life
day 19. A letter to an animal you like
day 20. A letter to an animal you think is fucking stupid
day 21. A letter to something you’ve owned for 5 years+
day 22. A letter to something you want to fuck
day 23. A letter to the drug of your choice.
day 24. A letter to one of your bodyparts
day 25. A letter to Gary Busey
day 26. A letter to the future cyborg version of you
day 27. A letter to band that really needs to break up
day 28. A letter to a movie you hate
day 29. A letter to a letter you’ve written
day 30. A letter to a bowl of fruit
Now, the ultimate question; Is today day 1 or is today day 0? I'd say zero, m'self. Ah well. I may fail at this, because I'm not likely to remember to do this every day. I'll just do them as they come - who says the days have to be consecutive?

Moving house

The single most stressful thing. Everything is boxed up, including my XBox. Fantastic time to have a massive Oblivion craving.

I imagine that sounds quite dark and melodramatic if you don't know what Oblivion is. [It's a game.]

I can't be doing with it. Not least because of the cats. We have to have them locked in from now until tomorrow, just so we know where they are in the morning. They keep scrambling at the cat flap and it's heart-breaking. And they'll have to be confined to the kitchen through the night because otherwise they'll tear up the carpets D:

I hate it. Want it over and done with.

Also, I've just found out that I'll be going without internet for a week. Ah well, lots of unpacking to be done. I suppose I'll carry on painting my Warhammer. Also, there's nothing to stop me listening to music.

I genuinely don't think I could cope without music. I've started listening to 'Sparks', who are absolutely awesome. Listening to them today, and my uncle David came in to compliment me on my choice of music.

Also, Lynyrd Skynyrd has some of the greatest guitar work of all time.

I need more people with my taste in music. At the moment, it seems to be just me, Jamie and David.

I'm also getting along quite nicely with learning Karma Police.

I wonder what the origins of music are. There must be some reason that it exists which helped our survival.

Food for thought.

My thumb

Still a mess. Wish it'd sort itself out already.

I felt a bit shit before, but a bath sorted that out nicely (Y)

Spent too much money on buses, and missed a total of 3 of them today.

Avenham was pretty good.

Jamie put plenty of music on my iPod.

Nothing else to say, life goes on.

A right wriggle giggle

I thought that that trip would be absolutely awful. However, it ended up absolutely brilliant. Perfectly timed, too.

I was expecting two open days, to be honest. I was expecting to get loads of information that I didn't really want. However, this is what panned out.

We [James, Katherine, Elise, Suffayan, and me {I've almost certainly spelt at least one of those names wrong}], went for a wander around Cambridge. I'm pretty sure there's no other place with a higher bike/square meter ratio. The whole place is insanely nice, the people there are brilliant, the place has loads of patches of grass, it's just fantastic. Katherine had an astounding ability to get us in to see places that we weren't really allowed to go, which was rather impressive. Loads of people had these cool straw hats, and James really wanted one. So we set about finding him one, and found the nicest hat salesman. He was such a cool guy, he was determined to find a hat that I liked that fit me. Unfortunately I have an obscenely huge head, but James got his hat.

Elise had a pack of cards, so we played Chinese snap. This resulted in far more injuries than any reasonable card game should, and it was great fun. Others joined us, so we ended up with eleven people playing a massive game of snap. After we got bored of that, we followed the obvious logical progression from playing snap and made a human pyramid. Took a few tries, but we got three layers eventually.

The rooms were fantastic, en suite and everything. Food was fantastic. My only reservation was that we didn't see the physics department. Ah well, I assume it's good.

The next day, we talked to the mathematics admissions tutor. He had a cool Russian[ish] accent. He was probably Russian.

We went around Cambridge a bit more, played some more snap. We were all leaning in on our elbows so that we could all reach, except James. He decided to lie on his back. He did astoundingly well for someone playing snap who couldn't see the cards. He had me laughing by putting a card down, snapping, getting it wrong [He couldn't see], and saying 'I was sure it was a two...'.

We set off to Oxford. Music and book kept me entertained on that journey.

Oxford was pretty nice. Too many buildings for me, really, but I do see the appeal in it over Cambridge. Preferred the feel of Cambridge, to be honest. However, we got to see the physics department. The experiments there are absolutely ace. And the guy just went ahead and showed us a particle accelerator. Fucking amazing.

At some point, I went past James' room to find a few people in there. I went in, and it seemed that he was inviting more or less everyone that went past in. We had a laugh.

Afterwards, James kept repeating the same phrase to everyone that he talked to soon afterwards. 'Why didn't you come to my room? It was a right wriggle giggle'.

At some point, we were all in George's room playing various card games. we ended up playing blackjack/pontoon, where you have to get as close to twenty-one without going over. I dealt, and James placed a large bet [we were just betting with cards]. He had two cards, looked at me with absolute conviction as to what was the right thing to do, and said 'Twist.' I gave him a card, it was a queen. He then looked at me again, and with unbelievable certainty said 'Stick.' It turns out, he hadn't looked at his cards, and he ended up with two queens and a jack.

Needless to say, I was out laughing for a while.

There's so much that I must've missed out, but the whole thing was so fun. The coach journey back was ace, too. I'll upload pictures tomorrow and explain better then.

Personal Statement

Really made me think 'I do fuck all in my spare time'. I genuinely wrote about Warhammer. Also, I found it quite funny that I hadn't done it, so I said I've done it at home and forgot to bring it in, so my tutor said to e-mail it to her. So I said I would, only did it today, and tried to send it to her with the excuse 'it wouldn't attach, sorry'. Sent her the e-mail, realised I'd forgotten to attach it, thought 'that's a bit ironic', and tried to attach it to a new one. 'You do not meet the requirements to attach a file. You must have up to date anti-virus software'.

Fuck that shit, I'll hand in a hard copy tomorrow. Irony at it's best.

Got dragged round shoe shopping today. Further proof that my life is, in fact, a sitcom for someone else's amusement.

Also, 'The Colour of Magic' is fantastic.

I'ma stop ending my blog posts with 'Adieu'. I used it to sort of round off posts, but I don't like the word any more, and it's a bit amusing to leave off at a point that leaves you in a funny state of 'Oh...'

Finally, I've been introduced to a type of joke which is hilarious. They're called 'Lad jokes'. Here's an example:

"I asked this girl to have sex with me, and she said no. She got really drunk and passed out and I raped her. LAD."

I should really round off that last one

Exams are finished, you don't need to hear about them from me for another few months. I'm feeling great at the moment. Spent the day doing A2 stuff, planning an epic bottle rocket [for physics], going to Avenham, coming home, having a bath, starting a book, dozing on the sofa for an hour or so, reading manga, staying in the present tense whilst describing past events. Y'know, the usual. I'm still exceedingly tired, so I'm hoping for a good night's sleep.

Can't wait for tomorrow. Driving lesson, maths, chemistry, physics. Okay, so sounds like hell for some, but this is like Christmas to me. Learning about science and maths without worrying about exams and stuff.

I suppose there's plenty of things to go wrong, but it's looking like a good day from where I'm sat. I realise I'm currently vomiting rainbows and unicorns, but I'm so damn relieved that I've got nothing to dread any more.

No more posts until I have something interesting to talk about, promise.

Adieu.

Almost done

With exams, that is. I want them to finally be over! I don't mind doing the exams, I don't care about how much revision my tutors reckon I should've done, I just can't stand the pressure of 'I've got an exam soon', and I hate 'I can't go, I've got to revise'. It's shit. Ah well, it'll be over soon. On the morbidly bright side, I've got plenty to look forwards to. Finishing exams today, Thursday in two days, starting Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 soon, it's looking up. However, I'm quite the fan of living in the moment, and at the moment I'm struggling to plan today. I've got an exam in three hours, so I could do to be on a bus in two hours. I need to have something substantial to eat before the exams, seeing as I'll be sitting there for three hours. The problem is, I want to leave eating for as long as possible, because I've already eaten this morning. Also, the later I leave it, the less likely I am to be hungry during the exams.

I probably should've done some revision this morning. And yesterday. I don't fucking care any more.

Okay, at this point you may realise that this whole post is to vent my slight panic about having two exams, one of which I've only done a couple of past papers' revision for, the other I've simply not revised for.

Also, when the fuck do I eat?

Ah well, besides exams, life's looking up (Y) Healthier eating, sleeping slightly better. Y'know, it's all good.

Adieu.

Final exams

I'm sick to death of the pressure of 'I should be revising'. I can handle the exams, I'm not worried about not doing well, I just hate the pressure. However well I do is as well as I could've done. Everything will happen the way it will happen.

Now that I've vented that, on to better things. Imy's last night was brilliant, and I'd like to thank her very much for that :) She did a great job sorting out the bill, too.

I had quite a bit to talk about when I first started typing this, but I've forgotten now. Ah well, be reet.

now for the arbitrary Adieu.

Token not-posted-in-a-while post

Yeah, not much to report as far as larger events in life go, so little things it is.

Coming out of further maths today, I ended up talking to James about his and Ryan[if I remember rightly]'s plans to make a rocket. I ended up forgoing catching the earlier bus in order to hear him out.

Music's becoming quite a big part of my life. For example, I've listened to today; Sigur Ros' (untitled), Sigur Ros' Agaetis Byrjun (that should have a stupid amount of symbols in it that I have no intention of learning how to type), Radiohead's In Rainbows, and I'm half way through Radiohead's Kid A at the moment. I'll end up finishing it before I get to sleep. Maybe I should leave it on whilst I drift off. Sigur Ros'd be better for that. I'm very happy to have managed to start listening to another band. I've got another one that I plan on listening to called The Brilliant Green, I think. I may need a lot more music on my iPod if I keep this up, though. I should do that, I want Oasis, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan back!

Everything else seems to be going rather well, really. Plans for Friday and Saturday, so far as I remember (Conor'll remind me), A2 work's seeming interesting, remaining AS work's seeming a bit tedious, all is as it should be.

Carry on with life as normal, and I'll bid you a swift Adieu!

Not eating

is a bad idea. I'm sure many of you already knew this, but it seems to have taken me until today to decide that it's true. It puts you in a really sour mood.

Speaking of which, I think I may have some sort of aversion to soya. I tried drinking some soya milk, thought 'it tastes alright, actually', and then gagged. Very odd.

I have one of Matt's curtains in front of me. Just so you know.

The reason for that is simple: Matt brought one of his curtains round to mine and left it by accident.

He brought it so that we could play Warhammer. It was essentially me against Andy and Matt. Jason was supposed to be on my team, but he doesn't really know how to play and didn't really like it, so I was essentially controlling both armies. Matt and Andy ended up sleeping over [partly because the game ended up lasting twelve hours]. 'Twas good fun.

Yesterday morning I had my further maths exam. I panicked at the first question, which can't've been good. Ah well, be reet. I may have done well.

That'll do. Adieu.

What the fuck?

Today has been rather odd. Got up, usual routine, talked to Andy on XBL about Warhammer, spent an hour or so working on Warhammer stuff, did some revision, led down on the floor for a bit, got my guitar, played guitar horizontally, went back on XBL, fun times on facebook, everyone decided to send me birthday messages...

I dunno, it just all seemed a bit... odd. Not looking forward to this week at all, but Saturday should be good!

Not much to say, but I needed to make the point to/at something that today was strange.

Carry on.

Adieu.

Fuck it

I'm not doing a post a day. I give up with that song thing.

Although, on the subject of songs, I've been listening to Reckoner. That song is amazing; I just love everything about it. I'd like to stop going on about it, but it's just the best thing.

I love the way I don't even feel the need to tell you which band anymore. I need to broaden my taste in music...

After a fair few hours not typing, I now need to pick up where I left off: Exams! Chemistry was easy, only further mathses and decision to go, now!

Nothing much else I'd like to say [short post today], other than enough words to, in context, bid you Adieu.

Missed a day again

Surely you can let me off. Matt was here! Played some Warhammer [I lost D=], went to the Brickcroft to climb trees, trolled Richard a bit, and generally didn't revise.

I'ma move on to today further down, so I'll do that song thing here. Should I give up on it? Be reet, surely it isn't much trouble to scroll past if you think it's a bad idea?

Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you're angry

I don't listen to music when angry, but if I did, I suppose 'Twould be...

***

Today, I did some revision in the morning, went to Avenham with some people, came home and did some more revision. Sounds like I've done a lot today, but I really haven't. I'm really tired, which is odd. I got up relatively late today [admittedly only by twenty minutes].

I may go on XBL with Matt, Conor, and Richard now. Probably go to bed soon.

'Nother song.

Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you're happy

Love that song.

Anyway, Conor's pressuring me to hurry up. Adieu.

No excuse

I ain't posted in days. Don't care, I'll do a catch-up. Damn, my last post was Thursday?!? I can't remember half of the things that happened since then.

At some point between then and now Jason, Matt, Andy and me played some Warhammer. I may or may not have managed to convince Jason to buy some. It'd be ace if he did. After that... some other stuff happened...

The carnival! on Sunday [I think] we went to a Caribbean carnival. That was... alright. Okay, so I can't remember exactly what happened =_=

Then there was, like, Monday. And Tuesday. Damn I'm useless. This is why I need this blog, so I can log events so I remember what I've done!

Today, then. Imy, Hikari, Phil and Conor came to mine. I'd sort of planned on watching a film or something, but we ended up going to a field, then the Bakery, then the Brickcroft. 'Twas great fun, climbing on trees and whatnot.

Erm... tomorrow? Matt's coming round, methinks, to play some more Warhammer! I should be revising tomorrow. And today. And tomorrow. Yeah...

Nearly quadded that ellipsis.

I've got Matt round tomorrow, I've got the option of going to Avenham on Friday, and Richard's on Saturday. Too much for me, I'm not that social. I'll probably give Avenham a miss, probably go to Richard's. Exams Exams Exams! Gotta revise for chemistry at some point, but further maths is just more important! I do NOT want to re-sit this. I want to get a B overall in chemistry overall too, if at all possible. Hope for a high C in this exam. Vicky'll be disappointed, but I don't care. I hate chemistry.

I'm tired.

I'll do those song things:

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love
Day 15 - A song that describes you
Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate
Day 17 - A song that you hear often on the radio
Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio
Day 19 - A song from your favorite album

I'm guessing people don't expect much from my taste in music. Hmm.

I'm guessing not too many people have heard of that one, so you wouldn't expect me to love it.

Describes me? That's also tricky.

That song's just amazing. Maybe it doesn't describe me, but I'd like it to [if that makes sense].

Used to love, now hate. Hmm. That's a bit easier.

That fits the bill.

Don't listen to the radio, so that's tricky. I'm trying to remember the last time I listened to the radio. Ooo, I heard this one once!

Wish I heard... That'd have to be a good song. Sorry if I've used this one before.

Favourite album. Easy one, I discussed this with Jamie yesterday.

Ok, it's becoming rather obvious that I don't listen to much other than Radiohead.

That's it, really. So, until next time; Adieu!

Exams

I had a maths and physics exam today. Maths was easy, physics was a bit harder. I'm pretty sure I got an A in maths, but I'm not so sure about physics. I could've gotten anything from an A to a D, I'd say. It depends how harshly it's marked. I had my first exam that I didn't sit next to James in, but I was sat next to Katy. I don't think I'll ever sit an exam without being near anyone I know.

After the physics, we set off walking to the bus station. James and Ryan saw a bus heading for the bus station, so they ran for it. They got on a bus forgo a five minute walk! That's just my favourite thing ever. The utter laziness! Well played to 'em.

I've quite enjoyed today, so far. Especially the fact that I've got time left yet! For some reason, I thought exams would take up the whole day.

What do I do now?

I sort of said I'd wait for Conor, but I didn't EXACTLY say that, so I went home. Kinda wish I'd waited, but y'know.

I'ma wrap this up and go on XBox Live [which shall now be referred to as XBL] with Matt.

SONG

Day 13: A song that is a guilty pleasure.

Hmm, I'm not easily made to feel guilty about music, so this is tough.

That'll do.

Now, for Matt time! I love Matt!

Adieu.

Fuck all

is what happened today. Physics revision, maths revision, halo wars, tea.

The hilight of today so far happened just a minute ago. My mum was trying to make chocolate sponge cake, but it sunk. She was going to throw it away, but me and Jamie volunteered a... better solution. Yeeah, we may have eaten the lot :D

Ok, so today wasn't all bad. Cake=win.

I ain't worried about my two exams tomorrow. Not at all. I'm really not. I've done some revision, and I think I can do everything. I'm as prepared as I'm gonna be.

I'm thinking of having a get-together next week, just because.

An' tha's all I gots to say about that.

Day 12: A song from a band you hate.

MetallicA. I hate them; their singer's fucking abysmal, but they've got some great tunes. If only they were an instrumental band they'd be good.

No Egg

I'll explain later.

Fucking great day. Got up, listened to music with coffee [a mon avis, the best way to start the morning], went out to Avenham with what can only be described as everyone I know minus three or four people. I climbed a tree, tried to skim stones, broke my phone, bought a new one for £10 [which I love], bought a new pencil, accidentally scratched myself with it, went home, and did some Physics revision.

For tea, Jamie made omelettes [and burnt mine]. After that, I thought I'd make pancakes, only Jamie'd used up all of the eggs making omelettes, so I made pancakes using vegan egg replacer instead of eggs. Then I decided to make vegan pancakes by using soya milk; I was laughing for pretty much the whole time we were making the pancakes:

Jamie tried the first pancake:

Me: "It's a bit crap, isn't it?"

Jamie: "Of course it's crap, it doesn't have any shitting eggs in it!"

A few minutes later...

Jamie: "We should've used the eggs, shouldn't we?"

Me: "You used all of the eggs in your shitty tea."

Then we got onto the subject of The Power Puff Girls:

Jamie: "What the fuck is 'everything nice', anyway? He's putting fucking puppies in there! There'd just be a vat full of some sticky bubbly substance with a puppy drowned in it."

A minute later:

Jamie: "I can just imagine what actually happened. Professor Utonium's wife gave birth, and he just sneaks into the incubation ward late at night holding a vat, saying to himself "...but Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient into the concoction...""

Then [somehow] on the topic of LSD:

Jamie: "It's like I'm high or something. Actually, it's like I've dropped more acid than Professor Utonium did on those three kids."

Then I was complaining about Microsoft Notepad:

Jamie: "Microsoft were really pushing back the boundries of the least possible work you could do."

Such good fun! We should cook more often.

Song!

Day 11: A song from your favourite band.

I've done, like, six of these already. However:

Radiohead's most popular song, as far as I know.

After that awesome day, I'ma go ahead and say my usual thing.

Adieu.

Also, Heena.

CERN

I'm going =D

See the Large Hadron Collider in all it's glory and go to Switzerland!!! Yeeeyyy.

Erm, today I went to the park with Conor. Found that my bike's been stolen, which kinda sucks.

However, always good fun to be had with Conor. We have to be the only two people who agree to meet half way and end up walking towards our own houses to meet each other :P

We ended up ambling about for a while and going to Longton park, trying to get a kite down from a tree, as y'do. Yeah, pretty good day overall. I really don't give a crap about my bike.

Day 10: A song that makes you fall asleep.

Easy one:

That tune just makes me sleepy. Speaking of which, I'm tired. Must be the heat.

Also, I have a cool new batman belt.

Also, Adieu.

Today, then

Firstly, the previous post from this one was the scan of yesterday's Occasional Comic.

Secondly, today. Erm... went out with my dad, revised, usual shit. Tomorrow, I'll be going into college to hand in my application to go to see The Large Hadron Collider in Geneva! Then I'll be doing Physics revision, but y'know, so worth it! Only 18 places, so I'd better get there damn early.

I plan on doing something that a certain few people have been trying to convince me to do soon, methinks. Nervous about that!

I found an old diary of mine yesterday; I don't remember writing it, but I recognised my own handwriting, tone of writing [I'm sure there's a word for that] etc. and I mentioned my name later on. It wasn't dated either, but luckily at one point I mentioned that I was 14. I wrote it three years ago! Very strange looking back at how I used to think. Very strange indeed.

Do you know how cool I am? I'ma watch some Dragonball Z because I'm slightly bored, and watched Dragonball recently. Yeah. Cool, aren't I?

I'm kinda hungry

Erm... Song!!!

Day 09: A song that you can dance to.

Ah, that gives me a choice of... like... ALL the songs! They need to be more specific!

I did once break out into a kind of spasm at the awesomeness of this song, though;

I love French people; they aime l'hip-hop! et avec ça, j'aimerait à bidder-tu Adieu!

Yesterday's comic:

Just as promised:

Just as

Barefoot

I've been barefoot pretty much all day. However, it's been a fucking fantastic day. Generally pleasant morning, went out to Phil's with Liam, Conor, Matt, Richard, Hannah, and obviously Phil. We set off walking, I got a blister, and I ended up walking around bearfoot. After not long, Liam joined me and we both suffered greatly at the hands of high temperatures and rough concrete. Feeling better now after washing my feet ^^ very odd thing to do, but I feel so much better for it!

I've been in a rather good mood for... various reasons which I've been mocked about a fair amount =_=. Fantastic fun dicking about with an American football and having interesting... discussions.

Hannah leant me her belt. I need to give her that back.

Fantastic quote from today: "She's like Through Fire and Flames on expert: you just can't do it!". Made me laugh :'D

My feet are in pain, I'm a bit uncomfortable from the heat, I've got two exams on Thursday, but I'm in a great mood :D

I've done a couple of drawings today, but I can't be bothered scanning.

I plan on starting revision tomorrow, but y'know: I plan on doing just a little each day.

Ah well, now for the song which you'll inevitably not listen to:

Day 08: A song that you know all the words to.

So much choice... hmm...

I'ma go to bed or some shit like that, so me and my sore feet shall bid you Adieu.

SUNNY

'Twas sunny today. Very sunny. And hot. This gave me a headache. Conor gave me advice on how to get rid of the headache. The headache is now gone. Good times, but nothing much to say again!

Muusic.

Day 07: a song that reminds you of a certain event.

This reminds me of Phil's party. Again, not sure why.

So... I'm pretty damn happy at the moment for... various reasons XD

So, for today, I'll bid you a very happy Adieu ^^

I thought it was Friday

all fucking day. Now I realise that I still have tomorrow! Fucking Thursdays.

Nothing to say again. I don't feel great at the moment, but I'll cheer up soon enough.

Day 06: A song that reminds you of somewhere.

Kinda reminds me of the coach trip to Frermany. I'm not sure why.

Adieu

Absolutely nothing

that's how much of interest has happened today, so I'ma just do the song thing and not waste your time with how dull today was.Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone.

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone.

Tough one. I don't really relate people to songs.

That'll do, I can never think of this song without remembering my mum singing it :'D

Adieu

Day 4: a song that makes me sad.

I can't describe how much I love that song, except in saying that I can't describe it =S Pretty crazy...

Khenywho, Comic!

Today's been very slow. It's welcome after a few hectic days, but I'd like more khumans tomorrow, please.

I should draw this up, and I will do (later), the hilights of today!

R.E.: Commenting on people. Obviously, I have little to say about people I don't know, and if you had a Christmas card from me last year, you'll probably know I'm not one for arbitrary comments like 'Merry Christmas', or in this case 'Really nice person'. So, I went on to do a few more... personal comments. By personal I mean sarcastic. I lied about the personal part.

"You seem... lovely"

Made me laugh ='D

Then there was Chemistry. A grand total of fuck all interesting happened.

Lunch was a bit of a laugh, with Heena being unsure whether I was staring at her breasts or not =P. Gotta love leaving people ill at ease.

Ok, I'm listening to music, and when a favourite song of mine finished, my reaction was to tell it 'agreed'. That was odd.

In further maths, James had me laughing again with his drawings: he'd drawn a picture of, if I remember correctly, an apple stearing a skateboard with a sale and rudder.

(Me) "He looks rather happy about it, too"

(James) "Well, you would be"

That had me out for the rest of the lesson.

Now I bid you, finally, Adieu.
