I love this guy. I found this video (I hadn't seen it before) and I just had to post it here. I wouldn't feel complete if I didn't.
Sorry, yesterday I posted a wrong comment. I said that the bands yesterday were marching for the Battle of the Boyne. They were, in fact, marching to remember the Battle of the Somme - which is actually worth remembering, so excuse me. The Battle of the Boyne is just something the Orange Order remember every year to have one up on the Catholics - completely wrecking it's memory, in my opinion.
Anywho.
I got a book: Vintage T-shirts from the 70's and 80's. It's soooooo cool. There's one with the robot from Metropolis, which looks amazing. I want em all!
I sent in the forms for to get a job. They'll be contacting me when something turns up - wish me luck, people! Comments (3) |

Hello my friends
SUMMER BURNS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Lol.
Cat Soup is so strange. Has anyone else seen it?
For some reason my youtube vids aren't playing for me. Are they showing for everyone else alright?
Stupid bands with their drums and their flutes marching past making a public nuisance of themselves. Nobody likes them apart from the sad few that still celebrate the Battle of the Boyne.
I got me a Nightmare before Christmas t-shirt. I bloody love it. Jack Skellington faces all the way. I lurve Tim Burton's work, so I had to get it.
Well, I'll post sometime later, m'kay m'hunnies. A phrase I have never said before, and hopefully never will again. Comments (5) |

Hello
www.projectrockstar.com This is an amazing site: totally addictive. Go visit it if you will.
Well I got this anime called Cat Soup - I used the money my mum gave me to put on my phone: but it's all right. The money I have on my phone will do me for a while yet, and I can put my own money on it when the time is right. I have no idea what Cat Soup is about, but Roy is nice so I can always return it if I don't like it.
Well I got a reference from one of my teachers; a character reference, anyway. I'm getting the second one tomorrow (I need two, y'see) and I'm going to go on the Student's Register in some Job Centre, to get summer work. I've applied for a job in a Chinese takeaway joint - but I have a gut feeling that it won't pull through. So it's good to have a backup. I'll tell you what though: the teacher I asked the reference for actually read it out, and I was so very embarresed because she was so nice about me (not that I'm asking for a poor reference). "Above average intelligence" and so forth. Oh it was mortifying.
I went to the Doctor's this morning. I'm getting headaches an awful lot; I'm going to get a bloodtest on Monday to check for anaemia. It's recommended that I get an eyetest as well. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my eyesight: I can read small print from quite a distance. Maybe my eyes are sensitive to glare.
I've got money for a pair of trousers. My mum gave me the money: she see's it as the last thing she'll ever buy me before I start earning my own money. I have the money in my pocket, but I'm hanging on to it. My friend dragged me around Belfast a few days ago looking for stuff; it's payback time. I'll ask Chiara if she want's to come too.
Hello
Well it's summer, and it is therefore truly the season of summer work. Yes. I, Emma, am looking for a summer job. It sucks because I'm so chronically out of place with people that I'd rather work in a smaller store: but my parents can't really see that, and they're urging me to work in the big companies like Asda and whatnot. But I'm going to ask in the video store later. If that fails, I've got a few forms for agencies which have registers for summer work. Excellent.
My mum bought me a pair of new shoes today. Since the whole idea of me trying to get work is to get my own money, I felt bad. She said she didn't mind: but I do. They weren't expensive, and they are lovely: but this can't go on. My mum is one of the sweetest women I know - it's not fair to keep tapping into her resources like this.
Has anyone heard of an anime called Gilgamesh? I'm saving up for it. Also one called sometrhing like Onegi Zoshi (that's probably not the accurate title, but I can't remember it off hand). Any news about these would be greatly appreciated - i.e. someone impartial who has seen them.
DOCTOR WHO EPISODE NEXT WEEK LOOKS AMAZING!! Poor saps in America haven't got a clue what's coming for them...haha. Lol. Sorry. I'm not really mean. Lol. Anyone else in the UK watch Doctor Who? I mean come on - David Tennent!!!
Dentist
Well, I've got my fillings. They were pretty tiny, so all is well. I've got a helluva trout pout, and the lower part of my nose is numb. I don't know if I'm smiling or not: I hope not; I'd look like a right moron with a constant smile lol.
I'm just going to sit in the library until the swell goes down. I look like a person who has had botox.
Well, Belfast was a lot of fun. I felt sort of out of place for most of it. But shhh. I came 3rd in the bowling; but that's only because our resident bowling extrordinaire wasn't on form. Lol. I got a Ziggy Stardust tee-shirt for a tenner (original price £22) ah thank you. I'm wearing it now, and I rock. Lol. I also got the DVD for that there Muse song: Supermassive Black Hole. This rocks also. I'm going to save up all my money and go on a spree in Belfast. Spend spend spend. I want a pair of converses (with the Batman motif on them) and I want the Paradise Kiss manga; and I want the Catsoup anime. I want a whole lot of things! I also want a top from a really cool shop called Fresh Garbage.
This here swollen lip isn't going down...
MSN STILL WON'T LET ME ON!!! WHAT IS WITH THAT??
As soon as the swelling goes down on my lip, I'm going to trip into Replay and see if Paradise Kiss is there. I sure hope it is: Replay was closed yesterday, what with getting all the new titles in. Oh please let PAradise Kiss be there...lol. NOt that I can buy it - I just want to be safe in the knowledge that it is there, and will be for a least a few weeks (I know of noone else aside from Chiara who reads Shojo).
And now I've signed up for the Beta mail, my MSN situation is even worse!
There, I've opted out.
Anyway. How are things in the land of you guys?
I want to go to Romania, for some reason. It just hit me there, like that dream I had. I inherited a Romanian castle and all of my friends and I took a road trip to go and check it out. It was so weird. But the castle was beutiful. Chiara wanted a pony.
Lol.
I'd like to live in a tower somewhere. I'd have a cinema in my basement and a whole floor dedicated to my books. (This is my fantasy home, by the way, I know most of it isn't actually conceivable unless I become a top paid movie star or, apparantly, John Prescott). Comments (8) |

MSN DOESN'T WORK
Damn. It keeps saying Failed, which isn't very nice.
Well, in about 2hrs45mins, me and my friends are all going up to Belfast and the Odyssey arena for a spot of bowling, lol. I once got two strikes in a row - after a losing strike - so maybe I'll do better today.
I was at the dentist yesterday (my mortal enemy) and it turns out I need a filling and there's a chip out of my other filling. I hate the dentist so much: I try to take care of my teeth as much as possible, but it never works. Part of the reason I don't like the dentist is that I can't see what they're doing - I like to be aware of everthing. God knows what they're meddling with in your mouth. Lol.
So my dentist appointment is tomorrow. Great start to the summer holidays, no?
I hope Replay opens soon. I want Paradise Kiss 5. It's the last one, and it's really popular among all my friends. I like Arashi!!!!!
I was watching a Three Minute Wonder on channel 4, and there was this really hot guy on there...lol. Sorry. Running out of things to say. Very tired: not used to getting up this early.
Okay. I'm immune until August. That's when my exam results come out. I'm planning on finding out what I got, all clandestine like, then keeping my parents in suspense for a week or two. What they don't know can't hurt me. My dad is offering to raise my pocket money if I do well. I don't particularly want money. Just a tad more freedom. I mentioned before I'm not allowed a boyfriend until I'm 18. Well, I'd like that to be lifted. Not because I've found someone, but because I don't like restrictions. I don't like being dictated do. Ask me nicely, advise me: Do. Not. Order. Me.
That's what I don't like. I heard a case of a Christian couple who asked for Christian literature to be put next to advice for gay and lesbian couples. This literature would therefore have opposed homosexuality. Christianity teaches that homosexuality and bisexuality are contrary to the teachings of the Bible. This is therefore a core belief of this couple: do they not have the right to try and have it expressed? Apparantly not. They were visited by the police and lectured about discrimination and 'hate crimes' and such like.
Who's being discriminated against here?
I'm a Christian. I'm not going to burn somebody who is homosexual at the stake or anything. We're supposed to love our neighbours as well. This is where the police misunderstood: there is this stereotype of the fundamentalist Bible basher, that will damn everything. They take the Bible literally. Firstly, the Bible is not always literal: there is the constant use of metaphors throughout it. If we were to try and take the Bible literally, the whole thing doesn't make much sense. Think about Genesis. I don't know about the whole Earth Created In Seven Days thing. I beleive that God did it: but a day could be any span of time. The world was created before Time really had any meaning.
So no, I won't persecute anyone who isn't a Christian, and who might be gay or lesbian, or bisexual, or a sado masochist - whatever.
That's not how I do things.
Sorry. I think I've ranted about this a few too many times. Sorry.
I FINALLY GOT PETSHOP OF HORRORS 5!
ALL HAIL ME and MY MONEY!!!!
I wanted a pair of trousers; black with vertical white pinstripes. It's not often I say this: but they really suited me. A lot. But there were only three pairs - one was too small and the other was too big. My mama asked the shop lady if we got get the size in between ordered for us: "no, they're seasonal and we won't be ordering any others in". That sucks a little bit. Who cares about what is seasonal?????? Oh well. Maybe the shop in Belfast has them.
I got my hair done today. I was worried: it was looking exactly like Chiara's new hairdo and I didn't want that because she'd get freaked out and think I was a strange fangirl or something. I mean, we're best friends - but having the same hair would be be freaky. It's straight. I wanted a fringe, but I don't have straighteners, so after a while it would go all frizzy and bouncy.
Sorry: I'm not always obsessed with appearance, but it sounds as if I am. Apologies.
Well, as the title says: I got Petshop of Horrors 5. NEO magasine says that its set to become a movie (possibly live action, I'm not sure). Priest is also lined up: Viggo Mortenson as the Priest himself. Isn't that GREAT????
Odyssey thing got shifted to Tuesday: so me and Chiara are going to shift our Anime-a-thon to Wednesday. I'm talking ESCAFLOWNE(!!!!), FLCL, some Miyasaki stuff, Paradise Kiss (!!!!) and various other things. Thanks to the people who pointed us in the direction of Youtube.com because it has saved me and Chiara money as well as quenching our substantial anime appetites. Lol.
EXAMS ARE OVEEEEEEEEER!
PARTY PARTY PARTY! Somebody bring the blood and I'll get the wine glasses. Lol.
Okay. Do you know what would be great: a proper scientific calculator with games in it. You know the way most of them have little arrow buttons at the top? Well, if you could flip and switch and convert it into a game of snake which you could play for, you know, ten minutes until the exam was over - that would be great! Then if you need to check something, just flip the switch back and there you go!
Well, my friends and I are going up to the Belfast Oddysey arena on Monday for a night out. Lol. It should be great: because I for one have spent too much time indoors. Thank God for time off. My pal Matthew should be coming too, which is super, because I know him from Primary School, and it's like a reunion. Lol. My dad saw me talking to him one time at the bottom of the driveway, and I swear he's keeping his eye out: I'm not supposed to have a boyfriend until I'm 18, by dad's rules, because me last one pretty much cut me up at the end. I'm not interested in this guy as boyfriend material - but he's so funny. Lol. He's my friend. My dad, however, does not beleive that a girl and a guy can be friends. How much does that suck? My dad may be short, but he's a total control freak. I rebel in my own way. I leave the house. One day I plan to move out - for the gain of independance, you understand, not because I find living in my house unbearable - and go to a different country. I'll come back every summer - but I hate Northern Ireland. I'd rather - and the loyalists will kill me - live in the Republic. It's beautiful country there. Northern Ireland is a cess pool of politics. Stormont (our so called Parliament) is not in assembly. Few people can say when it will be again. There are so many political parties here that there's always a feud: those who want a UNited Ireland argue with the ones who want to retain the link with Great Britain - and then what the hell do we do? Democracy means that one party can't make the decisions alone: there has to be a majority. Well, there are so many parties (UUP, DUP, SDLP, DP, CRA...) that there is no majority. At one point during the Troubles, Stormont was so degenerate that we were ruled by Direct Rule from Great Britain.
I don't like it here because of the sectarian violence. The ones who hurt others mask themselves: they say they're fighting for Catholicism, or Protestantism. That's not right. Doesn't Christianity teach you to love your neighbour? I jsut don't get it sometimes. I'm a Christian, Church of Ireland, and I live in a town where the whole sectarian thing doesn't get brought up too much. It's more-so in Belfast, or Derry.
I was reading this article about a girl who got run over. The offending car simply drove off: six cars passed her by without stopping, and there is proof they MUST have seen her. One car actually stopped and waited for her to drag herself off the road, and then drove off. How disgusting is that? Where have the kind people gone? I don't know: it must be a car thing.
Well, that's my rant.
TOODLES. I might go on MSN tomorrow, if anyone wants my address? Comments (7) |
