'Subtle like a laser vision event in a nunnery.'



One thing I dislike about myOtaku is the fact I can't set it to my time, every now and again I post, and myO registers it to be on the same day as the previous post.

*See below for example B*

It's really rather frustrating.

Well, I've discovered that I am the best in my neighbourhood at playing Chiron [I know that means squat to the rest of the world, but you get that], and that playing with the invisible option on is even more fun.

Finding enemies through the motion tracker only and shooting at shadows is fun.

^_^

Mm, shotgun is good.

I'm planning on seeing Shrek 2 sometime this week, having heard only good things about it.

I watched Big Fish and loved it. My favourite bit would have to be in one of the stories with the two chinese guards, and...there is no way I can type this without it looking stupid, or removing from the value of the movie.

Just watch it.

lol

Ben wants me to stay over for a couple days and play Morrowind, so that should be fun. Hopefully it will be 12-hours-straight sort of thing.

*shifty*

I'm not addicted to video games.

^_~

The stake priest and laurel's ball is happening this friday, and I'm going 'stag.'

Mainly because I don't feel like being sucked into the 'being a couple' stigma in my ward.

'sides, I want to be able to dance with some of the girls from outside my Stake.

And Brie. Can't forget her.

~_^

I'm such a sleaze.

Ever since my first stake dance, Corey and I challenge each other to dance with a girl we've never seen before.

It's always funny. It still amuses me how girls blush and giggle when they're asked to dance, no matter their age.

heh.

^_^;

Hm. Still haven't done much on Loaded, let alone my assignments.

Ugh.

I'm going to regret this in a few weeks time.

'I used to suffer in silence. But now, through my music, I can cause many others to suffer.'


I'm so bored. Brain needs sustenance...or some thing to appease its horrible rage...don't ask of its rage....I think it may be listening...right...now...

lol

Went to the Library*, reserved Halo: The Flood [eight other reserves. I'll be lucky to read this before I move to Brisbane. Why can't people read a book a day, like me?], and The Monstrous Legion.

I've watched a couple cool Halo fan vids on http://halo.bungie.org [cut and paste you pikers], including Halo Legend.

o.O;

People play Halo too much...well, not too much, that's implausible..I think..

I mean, people play Halo too well.

lol

More video time!

..I love broadband.

^_______^

*Note: No pun intended. Just think about it.

'I look like a tool. Do you realise the dream of the Harry Potter brothers is now no more? Exactly. It'll be Mark, and that tool...with the haircut two years too small for him'


There are few people that I hate, and they are generally far between. I'm the type of person that hates one's actions, not the person behind them.

One person that is high on the 'Annoyance' level is Shaun Bowden.

Shaun Bowden is what those in Halo refer to as 'bloody annoying.'

Wait, no, I think everyone would call him that. My mistake.

^_^;

He's the type of player that only takes the sniper, sucks at it, gets beaten an incredible amount and then refuses to play.

He lives only next door, but he stays and watches, giving pathetic comments like, 'you shouldn't have done that,' and talking non-stop about the games on his computer, and cars.

For the love of the game, would you shut up! No-one cares! Even I don't care that much about cars!

Well..that's not saying much, but in comparison to Mark [who has no interest whatsoever], it's saying a lot.

He also deliberately starts fights.

Mmm...annoying 15 year-old motormouth who picks fights with teenagers older than him..

..and then denies that he was starting a fight.

One key point that will frustrate even the most complacent player [ie, me, lol] is that no matter how many times you kill him, he kills you once, and brags about it for the next two hours.

Ugh!

I shoot him through the head with my last sniper round. Walk to the base, he respawns, I kill him again, make my way up to pick up more ammunition, he respawns and takes off my shield with a frag, I still manage to kill him.

Then he respawns when I haven't a shield, and one bar of health left, kills me,

..and brags about it.

...for the rest of the game...and the next match...and the next...

He was almost physically thrown out by Cam's friend from Caloundra.

That was a scary moment.

And Shaun still picks a fight.

*More to come. This rant is still cookin'*

EDIT: Eh, fogedaboudit. Rant's been waylaid by some cool Halo movies, and reading. Mmm..reading..

'The Lotus 119 was built for one reason only, for 150 pound fat-arsed yanks.'




Wee, I've been doing a minor bit of work on Loaded, most of it was just re-reading the story to get back the feel of it.

Most of the time yesterday was spent playing Halo with four other people.

Need I say that two of us easily beat three of them?

lol

We need to get an extra person for them so that it's at least a challenge.

I mean, Cam and I were on a 34cm screen, and they were on a 120-something-cm LG rear projection.

Their individual game screens were as big as our whole television. [Did I mention they were nice and wide too?]

..and yet we still beat them.

lol

Brie was going to come up this Saturday to visit, but I have a lot of prior commitments on then, so it's lucky that she can't make it.

^_^;

Want to work on Loaded, but my brother has fostered a new interest in the internet.

Curses be the interest.

Damn you Sauron! DAMN YOU!

*shakes fist*

'I am programmed in the culinary arts. I know 37 different ways to mutilate a kumquat.'




Driving a manual car is perilous. And fun. And hard. And fun. And difficult.

x.x;

Mm..bittersweet like a barefooted hobo dancing on the hot bitumen..

Lets just say that once I'm going, everything goes really well, gear shifting easy, looking for problems, accelerating, braking..

Augh! Starting car on hill, barely manageable. Starting car on level ground, hilarious...to those that aren't me.

lol

I only made the car bounce once, the rest of the time I just stalled it.

It's a pity that I made it bounce at the traffic lights on Mary street.

lol

Least I didn't stall it.

^_^

Next lesson is in a couple of weeks.

'Roses are red, violets are blue, you are a bread, I am love you.'




Downloaded the Daggerfall demo again, thinking that it might not bite as much as the last time I played, hoping that it was the same demo version that I played at Michael's all those years ago, but no.

Stupid starting in dungeon. Stupid crappy weapon right mouse click swing...ugh.

Needless to say it was the orignal demo. Stupid decapitating skeleton.

lol

What brought on the false ideals of adequacy?

Ben has Morrowind and invited me over to play sometime. Ehehe...RPG goodness.

Aside from it all, I played Halo, won a bit, lost a bit. Had fun snapping spines and sticking grenades.

You know, the usual.

Hello venting anger.

I'm planning on going back to Loaded and doing some work on it. I've had a lot of thought about the plot and where it's going to go. I'm not sure if my future readers will appreciate a Reilly influence, however.

lol

'Oh God...there's a really sharp DAGGER in my back...probably just my imagination...'
You have to wonder sometimes about the consequences of your actions. I've lost someone that helped me grow so much online, and I probably won't see them again.

I can't believe I didn't notice.

Damn I'm ignorant. I haven't felt this helpless since my brother.

I want to swear, but I know I shouldn't, I've lost so much, through the absence of a friend.

Bah.

*listens to Antiskeptic.*

'You can't make me apologise...if I'm UNCONSCIOUS!'




School's over! Wee!

*dances*

..Oh wait. Crap.

I just remembered something, Mrs Taylor didn't give me the task sheet for my english assignment that I was going to redo over the holidays.

Ugh.

x.X;

But anyhow, school's done for three weeks, I just had my job interview, and I think I went really well.

I'd like to say that, in the group activities, I felt so at ease and super that I supplied goodness to my group.

lol

It was interesting though to see the varying age levels of the group.

There were about five teenage girls [who kept looking at me and then quickly looking away. Yeah, that's not unnerving at all], a year eleven, a graduate year 12, and a few middle aged people.

This lady in our group was so nice, Sue, I remember her name to be, she works for K-mart and came to apply for a position at Myer.

So yeah, from creepy 15 year olds through to 40 somethings.

Hurrah for Myer!

When it got to one-on-one interviews, Anita [The recruitment manager], just asked me when I could and wanted to work, and what were my business preferences. Wee, she approved of my mention of Myer and said various things that indicated that she thought I was okay.

IN BED!

I mean.

Um.

*cough*

So yeah, I thought I was actually going for an interview for a position at Myer, but it turns out that the interviews were just being held on the special 'M' floor.

^_^

*crosses fingers*

Hopefully I'll get a job!

Ten days!

x.x;

Nervousness..

That bad news is that tonight I'm missing out on the celebrations for Ellinore's 18th birthday.

*pout*

Ah well, they can get tipsy/drunk without me watching I guess.

lol

'We'll have a running two by two formation. Tactical ops will be...aw hell, who am I kidding? Grif, Donut, just go stand in the way of their bullets while me and Simmons 2.0 sneak around back to grab Lopez.' [Sarge: RVB]




Who's your lord of the dance?

I completed my online Problem solving 'Cognitive ability' test last night as part of my job application through ColesMyer.

I have highly able at problem solving, and am in the top 20%.

^____^

Also, according to my preferences test, I prefer selling stuff to mental arithmatic.

lol

However, today I received another SMS that told me to log in online to check the progress of my application.

Guess what?

I have a group interview at Myer [that's right, not TARRR!get] this Thursday at 17:15.

Whew. I'm really stoked, I've never had a job interview before.

Mmm..Myer...so so flash and fancy.

^_____^

Who's the lord of the dance?

Also I got almost all of my exam results back.

Ancient History:
Multiple Choice [MC]: A/A+
Short Response Items [SRI]: A/A+
Document Study: B--

Over all, an A.
So so good. ^________^

Physics:
KAPS: D5
SP: C2
CR: C2

Bah. It's not a pass, but I don't care!

Maths B

KAPS: B
Communication: B

Wee! Kick ass! From a D to this, I reckon it's pretty good. ^_^

Chemistry
KAPS: D+ [3/4 mark off a pass]
SP: B/B+
CR: C/C+

Ah well, I still pass, thanks to being able to trade off marks.

^_^

Wee!

Chem would have gone better if I had more time to study, but thanks to me thinking I could do better at physics, I didn't have time to study.

Ah well

I'm waiting on English now, and I think I've failed it.

'Here. Eat this kid. It'll make you feel better.'


Wee..going to the party tonight. And now I have that Tripod song in my head, 'Surfers Paradise: The musical'

x.X;

Tonight should be good, my costume is crap, but you get that.

Maybe it's just my face...hmm...

lol

1 hour, 50 minutes until the Pirateness. And the plundering. I'm hoping there's plundering..

*shifty*

Did I just say that out loud?
