He’s got his head in the clouds, SHARADA SHARADA, don’t know when he’ll come down, SHARADA SHARADA, he never goes ta bed, SHARADA SHARADA, he’s got this freakin song stuck in his head…
Ok, so I tweaked the lyrics a bit. But I think that song describes me pretty well. ^^;; especially since i almost DIDNT go to bed last night... i stayed up watching FMP FUMOFFU online last night. ^^;;;;;;

So, whats been happening since I updated on Thursday? Well, I had Friday off, so I took Luna in for her MOT which was fine and she passed. Her rear shock absorbers a little weak, but its fine, doesn’t need replacing till the next service. After that, I went and got her new tax disc, so that’s that all out the way. *phew*

Now I just gotta sort out insurance. D’OH!

Of course, it being my day off, it was PISSING it down with rain. And what was the weather like yesterday when I worked from 7am to 6pm? Sunny of course! >.<

Still getting over my mini cold. I'm at the “hacking up phlegm and other body fluids” stage, which is fun, except when i CANT BREATHE.



Uhm, what else. Oh yeah:





I finished Gold Frame! ^^ man that thing was hard to put together…or not hard so much as awkward and fiddly…



But DAMN if it isn’t a sweet model. Gold Frame completes my Gundam Astray Collection. I got Red Frame, Blue Frame 2nd L and Gold Frame Amatsu Mina Custom. This makes me hella happy. ^^


Oh yeah, I said I was gonna post up Luna’s crappy comic Omake thing… its just easier (for me, cuz I don’t have to upload and get the code for it, and for Shirei and Hassei, cuz their Indonesian servers can’t cope easily with pictures) just to link you to my D.A site where its up and doing nada.

my apologies to those of you who cant access DA for one reason or another.

I was hella surprised to find a comment from Tarokun in one of my recent posts here. He hasn’t been online for like….2 whole freakin years. But I kept him on my friends list cuz he was like the first person EVER to comment on this site back when I first started posting here…and I’ve been here a long time…

last night was the first in the new series of Doctor Who with David Tennant and new companion Martha Jones played by Freema Agyeman (sp?)
it was seriously excellent. i am so stoked for this new series. ^^

Been fiddling around with some VIRTUE designs but the illustrations are still a little way off I'm afraid. Real life…who needs it. Pah.

But I do have the next part of the VIRTUE data files for you to read and enjoy and comment upon if you should so wish.

VIRTUE: FAITH

FILE 3: KAYLEIGH

Extracted from the data files of Tessa, Commander VIRTUE: HOPE

Kayleigh is recorded on file to be Darke’s twin sister. I say “recorded on file”, because neither of them can recall their early life, and no records of their birth or upbringing exists. I’ve had Midori trawl the nets time and time again, and the only data we’ve been able to dig up starts from only 5 years ago, which is about the same time I met them. They claim to know “in their hearts” that they are twins, and similarities in DNA, blood type, and even facial features seem to indicate that they are indeed related, if not twins.
Kayleigh is FAITH’S second in command, and also the team’s demolitions expert. She has innate knowledge of all kinds of explosives and heavy plant vehicles, and really enjoys blowing stuff up. Despite this, she is pretty level headed, and calm in a crisis.
Kayleigh specialises in close quarters combat. She is an expert in unarmed combat, and with short range weapons like knives and swords. Her weapons of choice, however, are two special gauntlets that are unlike anything in our arsenal. When inert, they sit on her wrists like humongous bracelets, but when activated, they stretch and grow, enveloping her hands and upper arms into gigantic mechanical glove type weapon that allows Kayleigh to punch up to 20 times her original strength. The gauntlets can also produce low power energy bolts that can be used to stun enemies or lightly damage objects. However, when tied with Kayleigh’s knowledge of structures and demolitions, she can use these bolts of energy to knock down buildings with a precisely aimed blow. She can also use them as a type of propulsion, aiming the blast at the ground below her and using the resulting force to propel her either high into the air, or laterally along the ground. She can also manipulate the energy to act as a shield, which can deflect low calibre bullets and most physical attacks. Because of the huge size, the gauntlets are extremely unwieldy, but Kayleigh is a master in their use and can easily hold off a large group of enemies by herself.
She is also a skilled technician, and can often be found assisting Luna in many mechanical endeavours.
I first met Kayleigh on a tour of duty with the military. I had already met Darke on a previous tour, and he introduced me when we joined up again for a mission in South America. I grew quite close to Kayleigh much the same way I grew close to Darke. However, like Darke, her background is much of a mystery, even to Kayleigh herself. She doesn’t let this bother her though, and tries to keep an upbeat outlook on life, even if it’s clear that sometimes she has doubts about herself.
Kayleigh’s most distinguishing feature is the tattoo that she has across her back. It is the roman numerals for 18: XVIII. I asked her of the significance of it, but she doesn’t know. She claims it had always been there, ever since she could remember. I would pass it off as nothing, except that Darke also has a tattoo just like it, except his is VII or Seven. He too is not sure of the significance of his tattoo, but thinks it might have to do with a unit he was a part of prior to his memory loss. I have been unable to find any record of such a unit that tattoos its member in that way.
When Kayleigh isn’t working hard on the job (which is more often than not) she can often be found relaxing in various construction sites across the city, blowing up condemned buildings or tearing down old structures. She hires her services out as a demolitions expert and says there’s nothing more therapeutic than watching a 20 storey building collapse in on itself. She lives by herself in a small apartment with two Angel Fish called Flotsam and Jetsam (or Flo and Jet) for company. She also assists with my shows, helping out with lighting and stage electrics whenever I have a performance. She has a sharp wit, and to many people she might come across as stand-offish or even cold, but to her friends she is loyal and excellent company.
Kayleigh might be 2.I.C of FAITH, but she isn’t really a good leader. She has difficulty seeing the bigger picture, and often rushes her decisions. She is also a pretty poor shot too. She’s ok with a gun at short range, but anything beyond 30 metres and she’s useless. The girl couldn’t hit the broad side of an express train from 200 metres away. I’ve tried teaching her the basics, but she still has a lot of difficulty, preferring to be up close and personal with her target.
Kayleigh is a strong force within FAITH, and perhaps the most normal one of the group. She is an anchor for the others, and keeps them grounded in reality. Her skills in combat make her a fearsome enemy, and although her past is shrouded in mist, her future looks bright as she makes the most of her talents in everything she does.

END FILE.



One more to go…Darke’s Bio. ^^ that will be up shortly, then I can focus on doing the illustrations to go with the data files. Stay tuned folks!


Well, that’s it from me for today. Tonight I'm going out with ma famille for a dinner to celebrate my parents 25th anniversary, my mums birthday, and their getting new jobs. I think we’re going to the Toby Carvery in Bexleyheath, which I’ve been to before, but never had a meal there, so it should be fun. ^^

SO, until next time, remember:

“if at first you don’t succeed, sky diving is not for you.”


Toodles!
