isnt itamazing how one thing can change your life?
yesterday i was all depressed and frustrated. then I got home. what was awaiting me? no, not my DVD (oh well, nothings perfect) but...


PH34R MY L33TN355!!
and i also got

new cover. ^^

so i was very happy last night. well, until i got to cadets. then I had a problem cadet. First I had to take his phone of him, then he was causing a distubance in my class so i threw a magazine at him. he then got all defensive and righteous, little prick. he then decided he was going to go home, and asked for his phone back.
i got his phone, and he said, "im going home, im not taking this,"
and i replied, "here's your phone. call someone who cares."
i was so pissed. but then i got in to the bar and got to read my manga so i was happy again. ^^

my school is trying to do something called a "DEAR initiative" which stands for Drop Everything And Read.
basically the school will announce one day this week that DEAR has started and for twenty minutes we are supposed to get out a "proper" book (i.e. a novel or something) and read for twenty minutes.
now, i like reading as much as the next book worm, but telling me when to read and what to read seems like a dictatorship to me. I will read what I want when I want. id rather not read a novel just because someone tells me to, i will read a novel because I feellike it and I have the time. Its a conspiracy I tell ya. I bought manga to read instead. ^^

my legs ache. they havent ached like this since i went through my last growth spurt. I hope that isnt a sign. i really cant afford to grow any bigger. ^^;

hopefully today i will get my scanner. the biggest problem is getting it on Luna (my motor scooter) ^^; i also hope to get "Hero" on DVD and perhaps another Love Hina or Azumanga Daioh.

have a great weekend y'all. and all you Brits remember its Mother's Day for us on Sunday. treat your mum to something nice, kay?

Ciao.


EDIT: heres some random silly jokes in place of my lack of random pic. we were tossing these round the classroom today...

whats fluffy and pink?

Pink Fluff


Whats sticky and brown?

A stick


how do you get a one handed idiot out of a tree?

wave to him.


why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

he slipped.


why did the second monkey fall out of the tree?

he was attached to the first monkey


why did the thrid monkey fall out of the tree?

he thought it was a race.

-_-;

and with that poor display of attmepted humour, i bid you adieu.

   f*ckaduck...
dammit. i just found out i've been doing something wrong in my music tech class coursework and I have to redo it. 5H17!!! man im pissed.

watched "Spirited Away" last night (subbed) it was pretty good actually. i dont really like Studio Ghibli (?) stuff, but that was pretty good. ^^ kinda weird but all in all i give it two thumbs up. ^^

man its quiet here. on MyO i mean. no ones updated yet.

yesterday sucked. school was pointless, none of my teachers were in so I ended up having nothing to do. I REALLY should be getting coursework done but im in "the funk" as Mew Wem so aptly described it. just...cant...be...bothered.

megatokyo is down too at the mo, so i cant read that. something wrong with Makoto-rin, the MT server. and Applegeeks author Hawk has got stuff he needs to do so that won't be updated till Monday. im soooo bored, theres nothing to do!!!


*sigh* damn, depressed and bored. Im going out to do something later. dont know what but i cant just sit here creativley drained. have a good day everyone, see ya later...

I told you once, I told you twice, all seasons of the year are nice for eating chicken soup and rice...


well i dont really like rice with my chicken soup, but bread is nice. ^^
I still feel a bit icky. Doesn't help that its kinda raining/snowing outside. And its freezing cold. brr. *sniff*

I also bought something else last night. *3v1l grin*

CADBURYS CREME EGG!! w00t!!
ah luv cadburys creme egg. it only really come out around easter though...

I've been watching a lot of "Daria" on MTV2 recently. I duuno why, something about it appeals to me, the whole cynical deal. ^^; I would like to say, however, if life in American High School is anything like that, Im glad I go to school here in England. I probably would have been massacured (sp?) in the hall ways of a high school. 0.o;

I wrote this last night, its kinda a one-shot fiction. Its reasonably short (about a thousand words) but if you dont wanna read it, skip to the bottom.


FIVE THOUSAND MILES

They say that you never forget your first love. That’s not to say the first guy you go out with is your first love. My first guy took me for a spin before leaving me. He did the same with my sisters too. It seemed like he did it on a regular basis. He wasn’t anything to write home about. After him I went through a small dry patch, until he turned up. My first love.
He was tall, square chin, messy brown hair and a firm butt.
Our first outing together was like a dream. It was a moonlit night and not too chilly. He showed me off to some of his friends, and some approved. Some didn’t, but he didn’t care. He was so happy to be with me.
He loved to talk. He would talk for ages when we were together, and sing too. I used to wait impatiently for him after school, listening out for his deep tones. We would go out for a drink together once a week and he would tend to me if I ever got soaked in the rain, or caked in mud. Whenever something was wrong with me he would worry and fret, even if it turned out to be nothing.
He wasn’t perfect. What guy is? He ogled other girls from time to time. He didn’t take perfect care of me. He was overconfident and reckless, which cost him once or twice. And he was absent minded too. I gave something of mine to him to keep close to him whenever we were apart, and he forgot them from time to time. He even lost it once and it took me a while to forgive him.
We spent a lot of our time together. He had a rough touch, and although I’ve had other partners who have treated me more gently and took a lot better care than he did, I still miss his confident grip. And his devotion. One time when we got into an accident, I lost something. It was a small, inconsequential thing, but after we had got to school, he made sure I was okay, then turned around immediately and went back out in the snow to go and find it. It was really sweet of him, although it couldn’t be fixed once it was found.
He would also wish me goodnight, every night, for as long as we were together. We never spent the night together, circumstances wouldn’t allow. We did go out at night together though, and it was often me who had to haul his drunken backside home.
He was able to go places that I couldn’t go and often I felt like I was always being left behind. He once left me for over three months. But he came back. He always came back.
I was jealous whenever he was with friends or other girls. Somehow they could never see me as he saw me. Strangely, it was his overseas friends, ones that he communicated with regularly on the Internet, who understood me like he did.
He would include me in his projects, and always tried to find time for me. He fancied himself a bit of an artist and he drew a Christmas picture of me and him together. I felt like we could have done anything together.
Our relationship was never clearly marked. Sometimes he would just ignore me completely, as if I wasn’t there. At other times it seemed like I was subservient to him, like I was just a tool in a grander scheme I didn’t realise. However, he would always make sure that I knew how he felt. I wished I could have done the same.
We were happy together, but I always sensed it wouldn’t last. It was like he was biding his time until he found something better. I knew I wasn’t perfect for his needs. I was pretty slow, and not that strong. But whenever the subject came up he would just laugh and tell me that I was all that he needed. He said he preferred me, that I suited him. So I accepted it. But I could still see that look in his eyes whenever he thought about the future. I knew it wouldn’t last.
It didn’t of course. He had his life and his needs, which unfortunately I couldn’t provide him. He needed to move on, although I could tell he was heart broken at having to leave me. But we could both tell it wasn’t working any more.
I moved on to other people. Some were kinder than him, gentler than him, took better care of me from him. None of them treated me like he did. That close bond we shared. He made me feel more real. Before him I felt like just another brick in the wall of life. No different from the others where I came from. He made me an individual. He gave me life, a purpose, pride in what I did. That’s why he will always be my first love.
Time passed. I grew old. Eventually I outlived my usefulness. Who wants to live forever? Now I just sit here, rusting away.
My engine is now silent, no longer “purring” as he described it. My petrol tanks are dry, no longer topped up weekly like he used to do. My kick-starter has rusted off, never to be used forcefully like he used to do.
My mile counter is broken, and now unreadable. He always paid special attention to the mile counter, noting the time till my next service, or even making mention of every time we hit a thousand miles.
There is a small hole in my side where we fell over in the snow that one time. I'm sure he has still got the pieces which he went out in the snow to find.

I'm a Honda Lead 100cc motor scooter. My registration is LV04 DBZ (which he chose). He called me Luna, and that will forever be my name. And he will forever be my one true love.

still feel a bit icky. i might have some soup later, but we have no chicken soup at home. i'll just have to go and buy some.

last night at cadets i got to go shooting. w00t! i haven't been shooting for a year and a half. thats about the same length of time i've been on MyO. i've still got the lethal touch tho. Marksmen award first try. oooh yeah...

i've got a lot of stuff to do this morning, so I leave you with three random pics and a re-wrtten theme tune.


this piece of paper means nothing to you unless you live in the United Kingdom. Then it means alot. ^^


Scrummy breakfast. ^^ Choco Cornflakes.



ah luv this Anime. And I luv the OST. ^^

and heres some lyrics I re-wrote. guess the orignal. ^^

"Living here in England,
Making friends from afar,
He comes up with ideas

   i feel icky...
i think i have a cold or something coming on. i feel like 5h17, but i will endevour to bring you 24 hour coverage of complete random shiznit.

^^; heck, its not like ill be allowed to stay home cuz of some crappy cold anyway. this is england. we get colds in the summer for christ's sake. thats why its called the common cold. Now, if it was the lesser-spotted cold, I could be in real trouble... ^^

Hey, check out my recently updated intro!! a lil something I knocked out last night.

I also watched Channel 4's "Top 100 Greatest Cartoons" as voted by the British Public. there were some good ones. and there was anime as well!!
at number 72 in the list we had "Legend of the Overfiend" which I think is a pile of crap. its really dirty too.

at number 62 we have "Battle of the Planets", which looks kinda weird.

at 45 we have Pokemon, which is cool.

"Princess Mononoke" was at number 21 and "Akira" was at 16, but the one that kinda threw me, and in a good way was "Spirited Away", highest anime entry at number 8!! anime is in the top ten of the list!! personally i think if the British Public had seen Cowboy Bebop the Movie, that would be uber high in the list. oh well.

for the full list go to http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/cartoons/results.html


also, if you live in England, have sky cinema or sky cinema 2 on digi TV, and still have yet to see "Spirited Away," its on Sky Cinema 1 tonight at 8:00 pm and again tomorrow on Sky Cinema 2 at around midnight. I think its the subbed version rather than the dubbed version, but if you're a true otaku, that shouldnt bother you. use it as an excuse to brush up on your japanese. ^^


again, I havent had the chance to do a random picture and I still havent got a scanner yet. -_-'

so make do with this lil gem I sketched out last night ( I say sketched, I mean "speant the better part of my sunday afternoon on" )



see y'all tomorrow.

ouch...
ow. i fell off Luna today. I was driving to school and it was snowing. I turned a fairly tight corner and the back wheel splipped from under me. I fell on my side. ouchies. Luna had a small part of her body work chipped off and I got sore fingers and arm, which I landed on. Luckly the snow also served to break my fall. ^^;

so there we go. it snowing damn hard. but they say it will get sunny later and no snow over the weekend, so it should be gone soon. *sigh*

no random pic today. i did have one, but it was all blurry and stuff. Hopefully I can get my scanner soon, so Chibi Darke days will return in earnest. ^^
I did however post up the first two chapters of my new Fic "Unfinished Business" on my FictionPress.com account (LINK UP TOP). if you have the time, go and read. otherwise, I got nada for you guys today.

so instead I leave you with this.

NEW DARKE BAND-AIDS!

We took three normal people off the street and inflicted indentical fatal wounds on them.
*stab* "ARRGH!"
*stab* "ARRGH!"
*stab* "ARRGH!"

We left the first person untreated.
We treated the second person with an ordinary band-aid.
We treated the third with a revolutionary new Darke Band Aid.

We left them for a week.

The first person died. *thump*
His family are suing us.

The second person survived at the cost of his right arm.
*NNNNARGH!!*
He is suing us.

The third person had no ill effects what-so-ever, apart from a limp, but that will clear up in a day or two. With the success of Darke Band Aids we were able to pay off the legal fees of the other two cases.

Darke Band Aids. The Bestest. ^^

Have a great weekend y'all. Ill see ya on Monday.

   helloHELLOHELLO...in the key of C
in answer to yesterdays posed question "why does an all boys school have a girls name?" (from Mew Wem) the answer is this:

BETHS Grammer school is the name, but BETHS is an acronym. It stands for
Bexley and
Erith
Technical
High
School

so the full name of my school is "Bexley and Erith Technical High School Grammer School, a Department for Educational Excellence (DfEE) designated Technical College."

so you can see why we just call it BETHS. ^^;

I read this in an Agony Aunt column the other day:

"Dear Aunt, im scared that my son might be hanging around with the wrong crowd. He's such a bright lad and I hate to see him fall down like this. He's even brought home a plant and Im secretly worried it might be marajuana.
what should I do?"

The reply:

"Take some leaves from the palnt and dry them out. roll them up and mix them with tobacco. roll the mix into a cigarette and smoke it. If you're still worried about the plant, then its probably just a sunflower..."

^^

here's todays completely random picture:



my Didgeridoo and Boomerang. ^^

im not sure if the boomerang works. Its really just for display purposes.

its still snowing here. just not as heavy...

i might post more later if I can remember what it was i was gonna post today... -_-;

ciao for now...

Quote:
Newsreader: "But minister, its not like this is the first troublesome thing to come out of Canada, let us not forget Brian Adams."

Minister: "No no, the Canadian goverment had apologised for Brian Adams on several occasions."

from South Park the Movie. ^^

EDIT: one more thing...

why is it that when Britain or America own Nuclear Weapons its called "Nuclear Deterrant", but when any other country has them its called "Weapons of Mass Destruction" ???
