*breaks through* Muffins from Space!!!

EDIT: Comments: (I wanted to get the main post done first so's I could edit the comments in later, so I could be sure they'd work, heh, and I'd at least have something to communicate with). Raven8763- I know! I'ts horrible. Every time I get in I want to play X-Japan or something but I can't! Well, at least I concentrate more on driving than phasing out to music, heh... Panda- Mmm, cars is muchly goodlies ^__^ And actually, i think I prefer this one to my first. It has a lovely charm to it... although no tape player >.>; I'm sure I can survive for a few months, though. Mimmi- Heh, I'm not sure I'll renew my gym membership now *points down* Mind you, I still seem to do myself muscle damage whenever I take out a specific exercise or sport. Perhaps I just go too far into it all, heh. And I've not run out of petrol yet... needed to fill it up the very second day I had it, though. That was a little frustrating. rustym- Thank you ^_^ Sara- *hugs* You too. Hevn- Mmm, t'is muy sexie ^_~ Monkey Orange- My skin's doing okay now, but my muscles are pretty much screaming. An early night and some painkillers for me ^_^; And good luck to you with your car, hehe. Be safe. Gasara- *squees and hugs* Wow, I've not seen you in ages ^____^ My singing's going really well, thanks. It's been very rare that I've had to catch a bus- normally it's been trains but either way the public transport's pretty shoddy here. Private cars are a much more reliable (and convenient) way to travel. Mimmi- Sneaksy you ^_~ Well, at last I'm finally able to find a time that I'm at home that coincides with the Velegant servers actually working. It's been ages since I was able to even look at MyO or OB, let alone post something in either. I'm sorry to have been unable to reach my Moderating post, and I'm sorry if I worried anyone else through my inactivity (online, that is). I have recieved your letters and things, and I promise I will reply as soon as I'm able, but since I lost my folder I've had to start again with a few *kills stuff* So, What's New? Agh, where to start... I guess college would be a good thing. Since I have another car now it's much incer being able to get in when I want and not when the trains dictate I can. And essentially I have a social life again, which is pretty nice. Jeremy returned from America for good this time, and much Mario Power Tennis ensued. It's a fantastic game- if you haven't played it you must, by law! Gilgamesh and my audition are flying up to meet me and I've not even decided on a speech to perform yet. I've been terrible at actually getting it done but there's been so much else to do... I hope I can do it in time. It's not as if a two-minute speech even has to be that long, but it's just more work. Half-term was exhausting, as I think I said previously. My shoulder's still pretty badly buggered from when Rodrik fell on it during the Bull of Heaven rehearsal, but hey, these things happen. Unfortunately for my bruised limb articulatory device, my first karate lesson also happened this evening and I really think I'm going to regret it tomorrow morning ^_^; Such is life, I guess. But even though I could feel it hurting, the exercise felt good and the teacher told me that I'd picked up the first three block movements incredibly quickly, and was performing them to a really good standard ^___^ I smiled, lotsandlots. Although more inwardly, of course. I didn't particularly want to look like a grinning goon. Erm... what else? AHA! I remember something very big which I wanted to tell everyone about, heh. It started with Amie's birthday party. The theme was pimps and prostitutes. Unfortunately I don't have a suit, so instead I cobbled together from what I had a rather revealing prostitute outfit- fishnet tights, my big n00b-bashing boots, leather mini-skirt and pink top. And yes, I did wear them to the party. Although I wasn't entirely certain that we'd be going out of the apartment, so was a little concerned when we had to go into town in costume to find a decent pub to drink in. Thankfully I wasn't the only one in costume, although I was the only one in drag. There are pictures, and I'm kind of apprehensive to show them but I'm sure you'll want to see them anyway, heh. When I have them I'll put them up. It was really great fun, surprisingly. I was worried I'd constantly be having to watch myself but no-one bothered me at all. True, I did change back into normal stuff when we went out to the nightclub (not that I particularly wanted to go in the first place) as I really would have been killed, but I loved dressing up. I'm not going to suddenly become a transvestite or anything like that- I saw it more as being in costume than anything else. It would have been nicer if it weren't minus 2 degrees outside, mind... I can really sympathise with girls who go out in cold weather wearing short skirts and tights. It's nasty >.> *thinksthinksthinksquicklybeforetheservershutsdownagain* Urm... although physically I've been fairly active I've also been eating a lot too- when Jeremy came back we did one of our famous pizza 'stake-outs', whereby we sit on top of Goodwood Hill and stuff ourselves silly with food; then on Sunday we went out to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet meal for Gemma's birthday and today I had a very large (but rather nice) club sandwich... these karate and singing lessons should hopefully help strengthen and tone me, though. That's what I'm hoping, anyway ^_^; I'm sorry this is so rushed. I really miss you all, but since MyO and OB frequently disappear for me and AIM isn't working on either of my computers I'm a little stuck for contact. It's not as if I can really conduct affairs over text, either... but if anyone wants to know how I'm doing and can't get hold of me, my e-mail address is at the top. *hugs tightly* Take care!

I'm On My Way...

Comments: Mimmi- Sorry. Monkey Orange- Well, it wasn't my idea ot name it, initially. Usually I end up calling it somehting like 'bastard', or something equally abusive, so it maters little. rustym- Yep, and I have now ^_^ Shinmaru- *throws icy water over him* Raven8763- Thank you, and to you too, heh. Hevn- Indeed ^_^ Arcadia- I've not had any nicknames that aren't 'Solo-based'. Well, one, heh. But Hugo tends to stand out anyway, so there's not much else that can be done to it. Azure- I'm aid I don't know the reference, heh. Like many things... Kei- Yep. I've been avoiding saying too much about it in comments here as I'm about to (finally) give my main update below, which'll include all the details. What the cat dragged in... Well, it feels like it at times. Gilgamesh rehearsals are getting incredibly intensive physically, which means bruises a-plenty for yours truly. I've already taken a chunk of skin off my left arm having been slover the carpet. but it's cool, heh. I'm enjoying it ^_^ I feel I want to be doing more exercise, though, but I don't want to upset my routine at the gym. If my muscles haven't recovered in time then I won't be able to do the stuff I want to to tone up, which would be bad. Eh, this really isn't shaping up to how I intended it to be, sorry. I've been wanting to get this stuff down for days but just haven't been able to get online to do so. Even AIM's packed up for me now for no good reason, so my extended contact is really quite buggered at the moment. BUT... I do have a car now. Although somehow it feels as if I had my second car first. It's a very old (1987) Nissan Micra Colette- black and silver, looks pretty nice (actually, I have to admit I'm more pleased with how this one looks than the first, heh), but insdie you get to see how much of a dinosaur this hunk of metal actually is. 4 gears (not including reverse). Long or Medium-range radio only (no FM). NO TAPE PLAYER! *does a hued times over* Wing-mirrors you have to adjust from the outside. A petrol cap you open with the ignition key. It's ancient. Absolutely ancient. But it has a lovely charm to it, and it actually drives far more smoothly than my old (but newer) Micra did in its last legs. Aparrently it's wice economical, too, which is good news. Although isn't nearly as fast, heh. I don't mind that, either, as I should feel safer with my driving (if not with everyone else's... stupid bastard tailgaters...) I suppose that's about it. It's not the best of updates, but it's all I can do at the moment. Thanks for reading, those that have Sayounara.

nemuri ni yosete

Comments: ShinnehShinTehShinShin- Ah, I thought it was CyberDyne ^_^ I think that's the better of the two, personally. And those Evangelion episodes were pretty intense in that respect. I prefer them to the films, though. MimmiMimmiMims- Reaping the rewards won't come for a while, but I look forward to it ^_^ Mimmi 2: This Time It's Personal- o_o; KeiKeiKatana- Meh, I'm not Anti-Valentine's Day, I just... don't support it, really. It's never exactly been a point of great enthusiasm for me in any state even when I've had friends to celebrate it with. I think people should be allowed to be grouchy if they want to. After all, you need balance, heh. AleiaLeiaCooliesness- *hugs* ^_^ ArcadiCadiArcyMegMeg- I didn't actually get to see the beginning, but the one at the end really struck me with Ewan's voice. But I haven't seen Trainspotting, no. Along with many other films that I have to see, heh. ShinTehSecondness- Oh yes. PandyPandaPan-dah!- Thank you ^_^ Me-me loves you too, heh. Exercisey-Wisey-Whoo! *is no longer posessed by Ed-speech* Well, today was both shorter and longer than I expected it to be, but I've managed to stay relatively neutral emotionally throughout. Thankfully, with it being half-term the college was near enough empty. Unfotunately, with it being half-term our class was near enough empty. Four out of the twelve of us that were supposed to be there actually turned up on time, and by the end we had seven. not very good, is it? Still, we got a fair amount done and actually finished pretty early so I was able to get to the gym slightly ahead of time. I did so much exercise on the weight machines today. I fear for my muscles o_o; And so after gymmage it came to pass that I should drive home... ...or not. I got just past Fishbourne (which is one of the three villages between my house and Chichester) when my car started kangerooing down the road. For anyon not familiar with this, the car starts rapidly jerking forwards as if you were pumping the accelerator like a madman, except it did it of its own accord. And once I got to the bridge over the A27 motorway it stopped altogether. I stuck my hazard warning lights on and phoned for Mum. After the problem seemed to sort itself out we came to a decision about what should be done. My little red Nissan Micra (dubbed 'Holly') is no more. I'm getting a new one, but I don't know what type, colour or when it'll be ready. So that's a bit crap. But when I do get it, I'll be looking for suggestions for names, heh. By the way... My wasp is now called Myrdian (not that I know how to pronounce it, heh...), and I decided Mephistopheles should be Rufus (my giant cuddly bat)'s second name, heh. Lydia and Dorian are being adopted for names of other plushies I have, once I decide which fit them best. Thanks to everyone who threw suggestions at me, hehe. Although Testiclees might be one I have to miss out on... Before I go; read. Read. Read. Read. Shy is a fantastic writer. See you later, heh.

Comments: Aleia- Fate has a habit of doing things like that to you, unfortunately. Things usually have a way of working themselves out, though. Rokas- I'm really sorry, Rokas. Something always seems to happen whenever we get to start having a conversation, heh. I'll be sure to restart my computer before I come on next time to make sure it's at peak performance. Shin- I think I used one of the CyberDyne (is that right, or am I thinking of Terminator?) trooper's heads on a White Matrix body... or one of the black flak-jacket suits. I forget, heh. But I'd love to play it again. Arcadia- You bet ^_^ Hevn- I miss talking to people too. Especially tonight, heh. Raven8763- You have no idea, heh. I still need to catch up on it myself. Annalisse- Anytime, heh ^_^ It's well-deserved. I'm still waiting for a decent opportunity to write that reply. Time constraints and various net problems haven't been kind to me >.>; Kei- But I got you later, hehe. And enjoyable phone calls are teh whoo ^_^ Josh- But too many of them can be a very bad thing *nods* Monkey Orange- Eee! *hugs* It has been a while, hehe. My cameo was actually in Annalisse's OB story, but I think it's probably better than any TV show I could manage to get myself into, heh. All I needed ot hear of Rave Master was three minutes and I left it, entirely. Badbadbad. Worse than 4Kids' stuff, and that's really saying something. ShaniKun- Oh, I don't mind there not being too much light-heartedness in a game; Wizardry 8 was pretty dark in places (and... well... boring from time to time). I just thought it was funny you could pick up almost anything from any surface- that was enough entartainment for me, hehe ^_^ And yeah, for the while we saw it working I noticed the rather blocky designs. That doesn't bother me too much either. Lords of Everquest is much worse when it comes to the heroes on the title screen, and you don't even get to customise those. But it doesn't look like I'll be playing it until my computer gets an upgrade in some form or another. Mimmi- Thanks for waiting, heh. Ben- Mmm, is fun ^_~ Dead Man Walking I've needed to write this update for days now. MyO deprivation is not a good thing, especially if... well... you're me. Not that I expect many of you are, though. In fact, I can guarantee that the only person who is me is, in fact, myself. Even though when you read this it's subjective, so the 'me' could be implied to you (that's you-you, not me-you), I'd hope that because I'm writing it (that's me-me, not you-me) that it would be myself and not yourself (being myself also). ... Anyway, it's been a busy few days. Although any few days in my life seem to be busy now, so that's not saying much. The Samurai rehearsals have been going well. Despite the appalling historical accuracy and what appears to be any lack of background research on the part of the author, it's not that bad a play. I enjoyed watching the runthoughs and there's some pretty interesting stuff in it, too. once the characterisations are down it should be really fun to watch. I have a few minor niggles with the way some things are played, but since I'm not in any kind of directing position (or even a member of the Youth Theatre), it's not my place to say. And I'd hate to offend anyone. But John Dryden would never let any of us get away with some of that stuff if he were directing, heh. That aside, I've been slowly feeling the burn of the approach of Valentine's Day. I really don't think I'm going to enjoy it. Not least because I had a really weird dream last night that I woke up from feeling incredibly confused; it opened up a whole can of worms I thought I'd manage to sort out, or at least suppress. There are things I really need to think and talk to people about but I just don't think I can handle it right now. Emotionally I'm pretty fragile, but I'm trying to work on that. My music is my hero ^_^; I also made the mistake of watching 'Down With Love' over today and yesterday. It was a very good film though, and Ewan McGregor's singing voice is even better than in Moulin Rouge, which is saying a heck of a lot. I don't want to go to college tomorrow! Next week's half term and I'll be in for more days than I would during a bloody school week >.> Typical. See you guys later, servers permitting. *hugs*
