I'm feeling better now, thank you. I had a smoothie ^_^ [And that's a fruit smoothie, before you get any ideas] Ecgh, I'm really not looking forward to these next few weeks, though. They're going to be so hellishly busy I don't know what to do with myself. It's very possible I'm making them into more than they actually will be, but at the moment it feels as if I'm taking on far too much. I'm certainly not going to do any more after all this has come over. Although... I'm still feeling a little empty. I feel like I'm neglecting something. A BIG something, but I don't know what it is. I hope Clandestine's going to be okay- with all the time I haven't had it's been difficult to keep life flowing into it, and one of the nastiest things to happen to an RPG is for the creator to lose the flow. I know exactly where I want everything to go and I'm still really hoping it'll succeed, but I guess that'll depend on my ability to feed necessary story information into it. And I have faith in everyone who's taken part, heh. But even so, I can hardly expect them to guess what I have planned >.>; But that's not what's worrying me- I'd know if it was. I think I still need more sleep. You're In! Meeting Patrick Sandford was great, last night ^_^ My initial impression is that he's a very nice person who maintains that your own individuality is the key to making characters real and believeable when acting, which I completely agree with, heh. We basically had a long improvisation workshop, where I suppose he managed to get a decent idea of our capabilities. He also asked us what other acting experiences we'd had, which would have been a bit more of a giveaway ^_^; Today I've not been doing much. Um... I met with Nic (my karate teacher and good friend) and let him use our computer to send emails that he needed to send- I preferred that he did it here rather than sit in an internet cafe and pay for the time. I have more sword training tonight ^_^ Eee, it's going to be fun. I was due to have a costume fitting as well, but the marvellously talented clothes maker can't make it tonight, so it'll be Saturday instead. Ah well. I can wait, heh. I've been invited to a party this evening, but i doubt I'll be able to go. Training is half seven to half nine and I don't really want to have to drive all the way to Cosham for a party that I won't even know more than two people at. I'm not obliged to go by any means, but someone's really pushing me... Meh, I was going to ask a question for everyone to answr, but I don't think it's really worth it.

The Soothing Wind...

Comments! elfpirate: My sister's fine, thanks- nothing was broken and she's pretty happy, all in all. It felt weird being the one to take her in, though- normally I'm the one being taken in... DDG: It's amazing the effect you can have on people without realising it ^_^ I think I've learnt to give people more credit when it comes to recognition, especially as some really good things have come from places I never expected them to. Shin: I could make a sarcastic comment a la Sennen, but I don't know if I could pull it off ^_^; Either way, I'm glad you're here. Sage: That's very true. I don't know anyone who's perfectly happy with not being liked by anyone. I'm sure any normal person feels at least a little empty without anyone who actually likes them on friendly terms (as opposed to professional ones). But then, I've been proved wrong before. I think it's a natural response to try and find comfort and recognition among people you like. Certainly, requited attention is always greeted with a pleasant feeling. But as soon as you see the people you look up to as people rather than some all-inspiring lord of things, it gets much easier. I think it can be a bit off-putting for someone who's highly admired and having so many people wanting to be their friends. I don't really know what to say now, although I know I wanted to update. The music I've been listening to's been making me fel sad recently. it's not that I'm listening to sad music, but it's just been having that effect. Perhaps I should try something else, heh. For one reason or another something doesn't feel right internally. I don't mean in a physical way, but... ah, it's nothing. I'm probably short on fruit >.> Anyway, I've got to go to Arundel after my shower. I's a meeting to get to, heh. See you soon.

My life is a romantic comedy and I'm the only one not laughing

Comments! (At bloody last >.>) 11th May Shinmaru: [I know I've probably said this before, but whenever I see your name I imagine it being shouted by an obsessed anime fan-girl ^_^;] I still have to sign up for it yet. The sites I've seen so far haven't exactly struck me in terms of innovative design- as it stands MyO is my favourite blog to have had so far, even with the styles I had to choose from on Blogspot. I wish I had a better handle on website design, heh. Pretty Sami: Heh, I know. But most of the posts I make on OB now are moderating ones, so I find it hard not to stay in that frame of mind sometimes. And I still think of myself as being a Newbie fairly often, even though I've passed three years as a member now ^_^; I guess every experience you have counts as a new one though. And I'm not too bothered about people liking me, but I don't want to offend them unnecessarily. Yes, if rules are broken then they need to be told, but at the same time it always pays to put across a sense of politeness. Actually, there's more I need to touch on here, but I'll save that for a bit later in the post ^_^; elfpirate: My writing often has that effect on people, heh. I'm glad ^_^ You should have seen some of my epic ones from a few months ago, if you like that. Roxx0rie: Wow, four years ^_^ That seems like an eternity in internet-speak. I just wish I knew more factual stuff when it comes to debating. I can express an opinion, but the problem is I usually find myself retracting it when someone brings me a piece of evidence or different perspective that says 'Lookie lookie here' and makes me think 'Oh, perhaps I wasn't as right as I thought I was'. So in the end it doesn't even seem worth posting the first one, if it's something I know I don't know that much about. The marijuana debates were really interesting, though. As frustrated as I got with some people, they were the best I've taken part in. I think people are growing all the time, whether they know it or not. Either into new, different experiences and ways of thinking or simply further into what they already know. In the end, you just need to be happy with yourself and where you are. And if you're not, then you should know what it is you need to change. rustym: Thank you ^_^ I came to MyO's blog straight from my Blogspot one (I don't think the address is still up any more... chances are I deleted it or it was deleted through inactivity), but I don't think I could easily swap between two. Once one's so well-established it's hard to know what to do with the secondary one. This has a whole history and all of my friends can see it. That's what matters to me. Cool Monkies: I will, heh. I slept for about nine hours last night. I still don't feel it was quite enough but at least I don't feel as lethargic as I did ^_^ One of my front teeth was really annoying me ast night, actually. It felt as if it had a tiny but really cold spot on it, and it wouldn't go away. Eventually I managed to ignore it enough to get to sleep, but it worried me a bit. One of the last things I want is a cavity developing, heh. *hugs* ^_^ Ozymandius: *toasts with smoothie* I used to do acting for the feeling of escapism, but now I love the challenge of being able to put across complex and believeable emotions and being able to evoke emotions from the audience. It's a buzz ^_^ Pictures will be soon. The ones of me in my costume didn't turn out too well, so I'll have to put it back on again and have some pictures taken of me in the garden. What a shame ^_~ Yeestardee elfpirate: Hehe, some things plant more of an impression than others ^_~ Hair in a jar would be quite interesting... Shinmaru: I've never had anything like a proper, permanent hair fixture before, and I wanted to see what it'd be like. I don't look forward to having to take it all off, though (which I'm sure I'll have to do at some point). rustym: Thank you ^_^ *hugs* I never used to like the facial hair that much, and I know I don't want huge quantities of it. I just like having that bit more definition so some of my features. I think it was the Johnny Depp comment that started it off, though. Dagger: Ooh, there have been some really good episodes so far ^_^ Thankfully I now have the entire DVD set, so any cliffhangers won't have to last too long. I think I've just finished the episode after 'Confession', but at the moment I'm waiting for my sister to catch up with me so that we can watch the rest. Well, Harry Potter's out tonight/tomorrow. I don't know why I haven't pre-ordered it already, but I suppose I can't really be bothered trying to get on top of the rush to get it. It's not that I don't want to read it, but I haven't put in the effort to get it yet, is all. I'll wait a little and see how it goes, heh. Oh, with regards to something that sprang from Sage's comment; I've been thinking about typing a little about it for a while but have never had the motivation to do it (read: I always forgot and wrote about something else instead). So anyway... Friends will be Friends When I first started OB I spent a lot of time in awe of everyone else who had already joined. I loved the interaction everyone had with one another and saw all these cool, intelligent people and knew immediately I wanted to be a part of their group. The problem was (and still is, to a much lesser extent) that I was never very good at presenting myself in social situations and some of the mistakes I made still stick in my head as big glaring errors. I guess that harks back to my always remembering what I do (or don't do) to people, but even so I was just so excited to know and be accepted by everyone that I'd almost be pushing them to be friends with me, which I'd never dream of doing now. I can remember threads such as 'Things they'd never say on Digimon' where I'd do my damdest to make something funny to get a reaction, and affirm that I was actually getting somewhere. I was so pleased when a quote of mine was used in GinnyLyn's signature, too. That was recognition -^_^- I don't want everyone to like me. That's just insane. But I want(ed) people who I like(d) to like me. I spent a fair while talking to Shy, who I don't know many people here will really know. Anyway, as much as he might deny it he's a fantastic guy and someone who I really look up to. At the same time though, I feel really silly talking to him on AIM because I always think about how much I must have bothered him in that first year and how much I didn't (and still don't) actually know, about him and things in general. I think I'm very much over the complex I had a while ago where... I almost felt that I always had to try to be liked by people. It always feels hard when you've got a community of so many nice people to be noticed as yet another nice person, but really all you need to do is be yourself. And if everyone's worth being there for then you'll be accepted simply for that. I wish I'd had that kind of confidence in myself sooner, heh. Sayounara, everyone ^_^ EDIT: Ooh, I need to take my sister to Accident and Emergency this evening. She had an altercation with an errent rounders ball. She's doing fine right now, but she says it still hurts so we want to make sure nothing's wrong. The fun never stops here ^_^;

Driver's High

Unfortunately I am unable to view comments again, so they'll have to wait until next time. If you can't tell, I am completely shattered. In a physical sense, that is. And not in a broken sense, either. I mean tired, heh ^_^; I hate the sticky, dry heats we're getting at the moment; or more specifically the dry heats that make me feel sticky. It's horrible, mainly because it's so damn hard to cool down properly. This is why I like winter- I find it easier to keep warm than cool. Probably because I have a habit of always wearing a jacket of some description... And now the sequence of events, in no particular order... I have many newses, which I shall list for lack of ability to actually type out and discuss them fully (which I probably will anyway, with my brain being somewhat addled right now). -I have solved my major Nazreal problem! Eee, it can actually start coming together now. I'm still debating whether to have it set up as an internet thing or try to get it published. Thing is, if I put it on the net I'd want pictures and I have none. And I don't know if it'd actually be published or not for reasons that I don't think are important to get into. Either way I'm determined to write it. Once I can figure out the sequence of events in the story and some filler chapters to beef it up a bit (should they be required; mostly I need to be able to flesh out the major characters) everything'll be set to go. -I have taken up another acting endeavour. This time it's as part of a Romeo and Juliet production in the Arundel Festival. I'll be working under a rather well-known theatre director (not as a principal character, mind), which is really cool ^_^ I'm looking forward to that. -Dan and I, as well as writing and filming this romantic comedy together, will also be running various other activities for schools around the region. Good good stuff ^_^ -Dizzy may be moving out in ten days, if all goes well. I'm a little... well, it's probably just because the tiredness is making my emotional state a little fragile, but it's not going to be the same without her here. I knew she wasn't going to be here forever and she was never my dog anyway, but all the same it set in motion a lot of different kinds of thoughts. Some good, some not so good. -I have ordered the second Fullmetal Alchemist soundtrack and also the first volume of the Reservoir Chronicle OST! Squee! Yuki Kajiura! -I've watched up to the second last episode on R.O.D the TV Volume 5, heh. It's getting really really good. If only I had access to more FMA... -I'll probably be getting a new car soon. My third in two years... w00. -It's my birthday on July 23rd -^_^- Excuse the black font, but I never like making a fuss of it. -I have a new razor for trimming hair on body bits. It's very useful, and works better than I expected it would. -Ironically, I've also been experimenting with growing facial hair. On me, my face specifically. Growing it in a jar would be quite difficult, and impractical. I think that's about it. Sorry I've not been commenting much on everyone's sites lately. I will once I'm able. See you all later! I'm off to sleep for a bit.

Attack of the Worm!

Comments! 2nd July Mr Curious: Well, so far I've had approximately no days off, but there was a period in which I managed to watch a volume and a half of R.O.D the TV ^_^ That was cool. Annsie: *snuggles back* Still tired, but things are going okay, heh. Roxie: Yeah, it's still very trying. But I'm taking her to see her owners today, so she should have a good time. Ben: ^_^; Lady Lea: Oh yes. When she gets into a silly mood, she's pretty much a slugshark on legs, and goes ballistic ^_^; elfpirate: I still am, actually. I'll go over everything in a minute, heh. Monkey Orange: Yeah, she loves playing. Although having to keep her under House Rules rather than play with her how I would when I used to see her at my karate teacher's house is difficult, and she doesn't really like our House Rules, neither... Hopefully it won't be too much longer now. *hugs* Ozymandius: Eee, I've been wondering about that for ages ^______^ Thank you *hugs* 8th July elfpirate: Thingy things are lovely ^_^ But the pictures will have to come up sometime later this week- I haven't the time to load, alter and organise them at the moment. Lack of time ist poo. Ozymandius: And YAY! for people commenting ^______^ Monkey Orange: Guh, my time just seems to streak past... except when I'm waiting for a DVD to come out >.>; ShikyoKasu: Ooh, I don't know Into the Woods. But I love performing- when everything clicks, it's an amazing experience to be part of. Forgive me for not commenting on the July 7th post, heh. Needless to say, it was a very shocking turn of events. Anyway, things have continued to be incessently tiring these last few days, what with Macbeth finishing and the two-day medieval event at Petworth House on Saturday and Sunday. Before that, though, I'll go over something I managed to miss a few days ago... My Three-Year Anniversary at OB I'm quite surprised to have lasted this long, to be honest. I don't know why I didn't think I'd still be here sometime last year; I guess I reckoned I'd be busy with drama school things or life in general. Which I still am, but it's not as if I can't involve this as part of my life as well. I can hardly see it as unnecessary when I've all these fantastic friends to talk to ^_^ My moderating position's changed as well. It's very hard work having to moderate AL pretty much all on my lonesom- Dagger pops in now and again but bearing in mind she's actually in Japan for the next few weeks most of everything comes down on me. And I do find it frustrating at times- even the non-moderating side of things. There've been times where I've wanted to post something, perhaps an piece of debate or some comedic response to a thread, but I've ended up not doing anything because I've not been able to think of anything that's either intelligent enough or that I feel sets a good enough example for everyone else on the Board. Considering how little of life I've actually experienced and how little I know of various issues I can hardly expect myself to jump head-first into a debate and expect to understand everything form the get-go. But even so, I like being able to put my point across. When it comes ot moderating, I tend to be a little blunt, which I think causes some people to be offended. but then, some people become defensive over it anyway. I'm very happy to still be here ^_^ It's such a relief to be able to talk to people who actually care about what I'm saying. I've been asked by a friend of mine to sign up to MySpace but I'm a little wary because not only is this my main blog, but it's an exposure to a different lot of people who probably won't be as sympathetic or understanding. I know that's a pretty generalised sweeping statement, but in the end it comes dwn to whether I really want to type out two blog entries a day or not. It's bad enough doing one, heh. I'l sign up anyway, because I did make a promise. But I don't think I'll really use it very often. Egh, I've rambled. Happy Anniversary me, anyway ^_^ Had I three ears, I'd heare thee! Macbeth went incredibly well. On the whole I preferred Gilgamesh, but the reaction from the audiences (even the smaller ones who turned up at the beginning of the run) was fantastic. One thing I will miss about this year is all the dressing-room and backstage antics that go on. In a way I like hearing about mistakes that have happened on stage (not that I always want them to happen, mind you), but it's a story to tell and a funny anecdote. People fluff lines, drop things, fall over and all sorts of things. On one night I was pinning Lawrence into his secondary bit of costume (he was playing Macbeth and had more bits of armor/swooshery cloakage added on to him as he rose further through the ranks), thinking that he had loads of time before he next needed to be on. And I was adamant that he wasn't needed until Act 3 Scene 4... anyone who knows Macbeth really well wil know he's on in Act 3 Scene 2, which was currently stalled on stage which Lady Macbeth struggled for something to say and do. So yes, I was responsible for Lawrence missing a cue in a huge hiatus. And there were times when I knocked into other people on stage, which, in New Rocks, is rather unfortunate for those people who get knocked into. And with the stage covered in cardboard and trees covered in tin foil, rips, slips and er... trips were near inevitable. I did get to steal my costume, though ^_^ I likes it, heh. As do quite a few other people- I hadn't realised that I was actually attractive to other people... There were some really tearful farewells at the party after the show. The friends I've made at the college this year have been some of the nicest people I've ever met in person and I promised I would stay in contact with them as much as I could. Reflection I've changed a lot in this last year. Socially, emotionally, technically, physically... If I look back to who I was before I started college even this year it's such a huge change. I feel more confident with myself, I look better, I can sing, speak and act with better definition than I could before and I know a lot more about how things work and how to talk to friends. So much has happened that... I don't know if I can even begin to talk about the influences that have helped me. Not all of the experiences have been pleasant ones but I feel better for having lived through them than letting them hang over me. To an extent regret and nostalgia both influence the decisions you make in the future equally- everyone would rather live with nostalgia than regret but they both play equally important parts, and both can be as dangerous to let completely overwhelm you. [A thought occurs: I really need to clean my teeth o_O;] Battle of Bosworth, now with Leeks! Petworth House was fun, but so very very hot. Both days absolutely exhausted me in different ways and I actually can't believe how much chinese food I ate on Saturday night. I just couldn't stop! If I hadn't regulated myself I would have munched through everyone's leftovers as well as the two and a half tubs of Chicken Chow Mein I'd already guzzled down me. It was crazy. Someone suggested that I might have had worms (as a joke), but for a while it did actually make me worry because I didn't know if Dizzy had been wormed or not. Thinking logically, she doesn't display worm-infected behaviour, and it's not as if whenever I take her out I go rolling around in her proverbial, but even so it did seem unusual. Regardless, much taking of the piss ensued. It was all in good fun, though ^_^ On Sunday the sun woke me up at 6:16am. I was most annoyed. That day reminded me why I hate reenacting in Summer so much- you cook, in no uncertain terms. I felt like a bloody kettle clomping around the battle arena with my leek strapped to my waist (someone suggested I wear a leek in my hat for reasons that were not clear to me, and I decided to take it into battle as well). Packing up all the medieval tents was one of the most arduous experiences I've faced in recent days. I'd rather deal with performances any day. With the heat and tiredness it felt like they'd never come down... but they did in the end, and although my car loathed me for taking it up all these horribly difficult roads to climb (engines rarely make a sadder noise) it finally took me home... ...whereby after half an hour I left to play Halo 2 with Jeremy and Lawrence. Addendums I'm finalising a big plot element in Clandestine. I'm desperately trying to design a device (or several) that are based either on real artefacts or something fictional that could be real. Either way,it's difficult. But I'm getting there, heh. Oooh, things are fun ^_^; *hugs* Take care ^_^
