Life goes on and on...by nightfall it had reached chinatown...
Heya folks. The last part of this week has been…interesting…sorta. ;p

Been busy between work and doing this OC Tournament on D.A, but have also found time to do other stuff as well.

Friday evening I went to this place in London called “The Castle”. I don’t know what it used to be, some kind of factory maybe, but its now an Indoor Climbing Centre. There are tonnes of rock walls and stuff for climbers to come and use. I met up there with some of my friends from work and we did some bouldering, which is like rock climbing without a rope and harness. The bouldering walls are only like 10 foot high, and beneath em the floor is like a giant crash mat, so there’s no danger, even for novices like me. It was a lot of fun, though my arms are a little sore now. ^^;

Yesterday I had the day off, which I spent most of fixing up my car. At some point since it’s last service, the metal bar which holds the car battery in place has corroded and crumbled away, so there was effectively nothing holding the battery in place. My dad and I cleaned up the battery and fashioned a new holding bar out of some spare metal. It took a bit longer then I thought, and we had to go and get some new screws for it cuz the old ones were so rusted that they snapped when we tried to take the holding bolts off. ^^; but its all sorted now.

Today I have to leave the house early and drive to Hither Green Train station, which is about 4 stops down the line from the train station I normally get on. This is because New Eltham, the station I normally go to, is having planned engineering works, as is the rest of the Sidcup line, which New Eltham is a part of. The nearest station which caters to more then one train line is Hither Green, so that’s where I gotta go. Shouldn’t be too much hassle though, being Sunday and all…


Went shopping this week as Orbital Manga were having a sale. I bought the rest of the RahXephon novels (2-5) and I also bought some Revoltech figures of Mazinkaiser and GaiKing. Yup, more robots. XD

Recently been watching an anime called “Shugo Chara” and another called “Gaiking: The Legend of Daiku Mayru”. The latter is your typical super-robot show, but I like it. XD
The former, “Shugo Chara” is a weird anime, but strangely appealing. Its all about how kids have an “egg” inside them which contains their “would-be selves” and in certain circumstances this egg hatches and out pops a “Guardian Chara” which is a Chibi personification of the kids “would-be self”. The main character is a “cool” girl who just wishes to be accepted and be a more normal kid. Somehow she manages to produce not one, but Three Guardian Charas, and she is charged with the task of finding the “Embryo” or a magic egg that can grant any wish.

Yeah, so that’s basically it. its kinda “magical girl” ish type anime, but its funny, and as you all may well know, I have an affinity for any kind of story that involves Chibi companions… ^^;

And now, Answers to Questions:

RAINA : “who would you swap with?”

If I were to swap places with anybody for one day, I’d swap with…hmm…I dunno. There’s no one I’d really wanna swap with. Though if I were to take a leaf out of Red’s scrapbook and choose a fictional character, I’d have to go ahead and say any Gundam pilot. lol ^^;

HASEO LUVR92: “have you ever read a shoujo manga? A really girly one?”

Uhm…not to my knowledge…even manga like Chobits and Midori no Hibi were written for boys. I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that No, I haven’t. ^^

RED TIGRESS: “what’s one guilty pleasure of yours?”

Guilty Pleasure? Geez… uhm… again, don’t really have one. Most of my pleasures aren’t really guilty ones. i mean, from time to time I buy some anime merchandise, or a Gundam Model that I could probably do without, or cant really afford, but I don’t really feel guilty about it. ^^;;;; I have no shame. lol

Alrighty, good stuffs. Feel free to ask more questions, anything and everything folks.

A few things to leave off with. I found this little gem whilst perusing through my archives and figured its been a while, so I'm allowed to do it again. Don’t feel pressured to answer this, its just a suggestion. Take it or leave it…

2. Am I lovable?

3. How long have you known me?

4. What was your first impression?

5. Do you still think that way about me now?

6. What do you think my weakness is?

7. Do you think I'll get married? If so, to whom and when?

8. What makes me happy?

9. What makes me sad?

10. What reminds you of me?

11. If you could give me anything what would it be?

12. How well do you know me?

13. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?

14. Do you think I could kill someone?

15. Describe me in one word.

16. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?

17. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?



Same with these videos, don’t have to watch em. I'm just on a Super Robot kick is all… XD












Have a great week folks!!
