Let's Be Civic-lised...
Comments:

Wensdayskitten: I'm helping him where I can ^_^ Mostly he just needs encouragement, because he doesn't have a lot of faith in himself. Which is silly, because he's much better than he thinks he is.

I get really lethargic when it's hot; right now it's not too bad so I'm tempted to sit around in the garden. But I can't bring my PC out with me to write >.>;

Shy: Thank you ^_^ I was drawn to it from shouts about its reliability. But they're probably the biggest hatchback you can get in the UK. I've never driven anything so big, heh. In comparison, a Micra is about two-thirds the size of a Civic, to give you an idea of what I have been driving round in.

But when some friends of mine went driving around California, they had a 4x4 with a 6-litre engine!! That's unbelieveable...

Kei: Well, yes, but I do see a large number of unnecessary Land Rovers and Jeeps and things. Mothers often get slammed for buying these massive tank-like machines to take their single child to and from school. It's a bit much.

Hehe, thank you ^_^ Don't get too hot now ^_~ *hugs*

Akamaru: They are indeedy ^_^

Roleni-chan: Yeah, the scar probably won't fade for a while. The odd thing about it is that I don't remember there being a mole there, but when the scar appeared so did a brown patch by its left edge. Weird, no?

I've just reached 90 pages last night ^_^ I'm very pleased, especially as I've just introduced my favourite two characters.

I don't know who I should give it to, or if I should lend it out for people to read until its finished. I just don't want to fool myself into thinking I've done enough work on it, if you see what I mean. Sometimes you can give something to someone, they'll say, "Ah, that's amazing!", and then you feel satisfied and then never touch it again. Or something. I think I'm being silly.

Thank you ^_^ I'll do my best to keep in touch with everyone here. It means a lot to me, being here.

Yeah, illness dreams are really bizarre, aren't they? It's the feeling that comes with them more than the dream itself that disturbs me, probably because my body's not in its usual, comfortable state.

I don't have to start over with the main character- I just needed to be more assertive in her characteristics, which meant changing a few of her lines of dialogue to make sure she was... better, I guess :p

I've never actually read Hamlet. I don't know too many of Shakespeare's plays, heh. I probably should.

I may try again with the CD player once I have it back from my older car. Just need to get down and remove it, heh.

Writing moods are good moods ^_~ I certainly don't complain over long comments.

Well, Dan's back. He went to watch the shuttle launch in Florida last Thursday. He loved it, which is nice ^_^ Although now we come back to our old problem of finding him a job. He's applied for a sort-of apprenticeship at a theatre in London, but he won't know if he'll get that for another month or so. I need to have a long chat with him about things, but since he's jetlagged and a little ill it'll need to wait a while. But I think he needs to take charge more. He takes rejection quite personally, and really he's got to learn to push through it to keep aiming for what he wants.

My new car's lovely ^_^ It's got a 1.6 litre engine, though, and it's an automatic, so I can actually watch the petrol gauge going down. It's a little disocncerting, especially as it costs more to fill up than any of my previous cars. But, it's worth it for the space and the power. And the comfort. Power steering is legendary.

I'm on 90 pages of my book now ^_^ It's going nicely, hehe. Just need to work through how this particular bit unfolds and I'll be ready to breeze on until the next complicated bit.

I'm going to play Theseus in the college's production of Midsummer Night's Dream because they've lost one of their actors. That's at the end of the month. But it's a fairly small part, so shouldn't be too bad to learn.

*looks up script* Oh, but he has some tongue-twisters o_o; Best get reading now, then.

See you soon! x

Absence makes the car go Honda...
Comments

Betteh.: Poleaxes are dangerous, heh.

I do historical re-enactment combat around the area. Sorry for not replying to your PM yet, by the way. Things is been bizzeh.

Nissan Micras are possibly some of the smallest cars, just above Ford Ka and a Smart Car. But I'm getting a new one tomorrow, so it's all good...

Roleni-chan: They're not sharp weapons, thankfully. We used some once and I still have the scar on my right hand. That event's probably recounted somwhere in the archives here, actually :p

I'm currently on 74 pages and, while it's still coming, it's at a very slow crawl. I just need some time to myself to concentrate and get it all down.

I'm not short- I'm distinctly average. Five foot eight- you cannot get more average than that, in fact. But I haven't seen any of those animes, no. I just read the Tsubasa manga and have all the soundtracks, heh.

And thank you ^_^ A fair bit more has happened since then, and it's further made me feel very polite and decent but also rather lonely. Or more lonely, I should say.

My illness dreams! Blimey, they're weird. I can remember two. They're both rather hard to describe, but with the first, if you imagine a room with a dark pine-coloured wooden floor, with a door at one end. You're looking at it from the back right corner, about halfway-up the wall. The door is on the far right of you, at the opposite end of the room. The 'camera' is angled at about forty-five degrees, looking somewhere towards the ecntre of the room. On the floor are two small boulders, one larger than the other. And between the two, somewhere, lies a piece of string that attaches them. Then the camera starts zooming in and out very quickly, going both ways at the same time and rotating as it does so.

Describing it like that makes it sound so... weird, but whenever I have it I wake up in a cold sweat. Although it's probably more the fact that I always have it when I'm ill that makes me feel so strange. The second is a little similar, and may have been inspired by an old animation I saw when I was very young, but I can't be sure.

If you imagine it as an animation, the background is a faded pink that fades to black at the top of the screen, and there are thorn bushes everywhere. As the camera, you break through the thorn bushes to reveal a clearing, in which there is a large pink, glowing circle on the floor, with a slight dome to it. Walking towards it very slowly on the left is either a beam of pink light or a very tall, very thin stick-person, also in pink light. It's just so bizarre, heh.

Miss Monkey: Ironically enough, it got smashed at the last event multiple times by another guy with an axe. It's still pretty swollen, except now has an expired blood blister on top of the joint, too. I caught that in a cheese grater yesterday and it absolutely caned.

Kei: I get hurt anywhere :p But yeah, thumbs are more irritating than most other digits, if only because they get in the way when you're not doing anything with anything else.

Akamaru: School = Stupid Conglomerate of Horrible, Officious, Obsessive Labour. Or something like that, hehe. I like making words into acronyms!

Whenever it was that this was

Azure: *chinks cup and swigs* Hope everything's going okay for you now, mate. I know you tend to get more than your fair share of stresses, heh. Take care ^_~

arnica: I was thinking of you the other day, you know, and how much I like Australian accents. I think you're the first I've spoken on the phone to (whence you came to Bradford for your sister's wedding); I can't remember offhand whether I spoke to Ashy or not. And I do feel better now, thank you ^_^

Mamma Vash: In the end we cut out 300 little bits of paper and stuck them on the covers where they were supposed to be. Not exactly fun or quick work, but at least it was better than wasting all that time and money on a whole new set of DVD covers.

Roleni: Yes, they are. But everything was a bit funny back then anyway. I wish people would be more honest with their feelings, though- I don't particularly like being lied to, although I can understand why it happens. I know I've done it in the past (and I still feel stupid for ever doing so), but now I can really see why it matters. But I'm getting along well with both of them (she even contacted me that evening to apologise again and we're going to the zoo together on Friday), so it's okay ^_^

---

Well, the film's done and dusted insofar as we aren't screening it any more- there are still prospective film festivals to come. Dan and I haven't discussed where we're going to take them yet; I think he and I still need a little time to put it out of our minds, and at the moment he's trying to find work in a theatre somewhere so I'm helping him as much as I can with that. We've also been running numerous stage combat workshops for the Chichester Festival Theatre. In this weather it gets pretty tiring :p

I'm 74 pages through the story, and a little worried that my lead character isn't strong enough. Not in terms of physical strength, but in terms of her actual character. So I've been running through and refining her and other bits and pieces.

Yesterday I made a list of questions that people should be asking at this point in the story, and seeing whether they were obvious enough to be picked up on or if there were too many. So it's been interesting looking back at it after a week and a half break (for the premiere). I'm pleased with it on the whole, but now I'm having problems continuing. Once I get into the next section it'll be fine, but it's one of those annoying progressive bits where all you have to do is move from one place to another and there isn't a character moment or story point to help carry it along- they have to get there for things to continue. And it's not as if they;re even that far away. I literally just need to write something like 'Once they arrived...', or something and it'll be fine. But getting those first words out right is pretty difficult ^_^: It's a bit like trying to start again, heh.

I am getting a new car tomorrow! It's a Honda Civic, and it's BIG. Not like station wagon (estate for those who is not so America-inclined), but big enough for me not to have to worry about whether all my stuff will fit in it. Me likies, even if I do have to install the CD player myself because it only came with a poxy tape player >.>; Still, at least I can have one in this car.

That's about all for now, heh. Hope you'se all well ^___^

Okay, NOW I'm Pissed...
Things were going pretty well today to begin with.

And then we got to the trade fair to find virtually nothing for sale.
And then it started raining.
And then we went home.
And then two of my friends showed up and instantly disappeared.
And then upon asking them if it was actually them, they replied that they saw Dan's car wasn't there and assumed I was out too.
And then I remembered that they would never come here just for me, and that they were looking for Dan and needed an excuse to leave when he wasn't there.
And then the DVDs started pissing around (although in all actuality they were pissing around all day.
And then the second DVD-RW drive wouldn't work.
And then I saw how many DVD covers we had to correct due to a printing error. One-hundred and fifty, with two tiny little labels to cut out and stick on each.
And then I lost the will to write more of my story, despite already being behind this week.
And then I felt like crawling into bed and staying there.

Bad day.

Head Rush
Wow, sorry about that. Something came up last Thursday which really threw me out of whack for a while... and then on Saturday I took a whack to my thumb with a poleaxe. It got rather crushed, and hurts a little still. Not damaged in the long-term though, which is nice. Paul would have killed me if he'd lost another major fighter at the May Bank Holiday Arundel event.

So yes, things are going well. The book's coming along well as I've been getting further ahead. I've just reached the main bulk of the story now, so I need to make sure it doesn't start moving too fast otherwise it'll look poorly structured.

Haven't got long right now, though: I'm about to have a look at cars, as I want to replace my Nissan Micra with something I can actually, you know, fit inside.

I'll let you know how it goes ^_^

Comments!

Betteh.: Twilight Princess is the new Zelda game for the Nintendo Wii ^_^ It's pretty involving stuff. Possibly one of the most genuine games I've played in a long time, which is why it's hard to put down sometimes.

I just need to make sure that even if I'm not writing it, that I'm working through it in my mind. Sometimes I know I can't write, and that if I did I'd only get annoyed with it so I just sit somewhere quiet, listen to music and just work through the plot. I managed to sort out the opening to chapter five like that.

I get weird dreams even without eating anything ^_^; I once had one where my friend Dan had to dress up as my youngest dog to prevent me from getting married. That was pretty cool, actually.

Miss Orange de Monkey: My friend is getting really twitchy about not being able to watch Shippuden now :p I think we may have to soon otherwise he'll burst. And that won't be a pretty picture.

Death Note just has such an interesting premise. And it's gripping, too. I don't think I've been more (pardon the pun) drawn in by a manga before. I needs it!

Roleni-chan: I know :p Sometimes I have to justify playing on the Wii by talking out loud about my plot ideas. Doesn't last long, though.

This chapter was always going to be difficult because it had to introduce certain elements without losing focus on the character you're meant to follow. I'm a little worried that people may be expecting someone else to take the lead, but I'll sort that out later.

I have up to Volume 12 of Tsubasa. I was a little surprised that almost the entirety of the last two volumes has been in once place. I kind of want it to move faster, especially as we've still got very little idea about the overall goal of the story at this point. At the moment it's still going from world to world to world without any revalation to do with why this happened in the first place. Unless I've forgotten it.

Daydreams, hopes and ambitions, my friends and music are my biggest inspirations. I'm not afraid of who I am any more, and I'm not afraid to push ahead to do something that means a lot to me. Likewise I'll always helpt those around me achieve what they want to achieve in any way I can.

Remind me and I'll tell you about the dreams I have when I'm ill in the next post.

Kei: Please do ^___^

Notes is good. It took me three years to get my book to a stage where I was confident about actually writing it, especially as I didn't have much time to myself. Now I do, then I can ^_^

Wensdayskitten: Sometimes I'll work on a little reward or target scheme. I want to get to at least page 60 by the end of this week, for example. If possible, I'd like to do it by Wednesday but that depends on how I can do today and tomorrow.

Things became much easier for me to do once I was out of education. I'm really lucky to have a family who'll support me in what I do until I can be self-sufficient; ideally I don't want to be living here for too much longer, but while I am I'll enjoy it and make the most of being able to relax and enjoy my writing, and build up a decent base for getting it published.

Aha, anime soundtracks ^_^ Thanks for the recommendations. I have the Azumanga Daioh DVDs, so I'll have another flick through them to sample the music. The stuff in the menus is nice, I know that much. And I've heard good things about Lain, too.

Des: Aha, Noir ^_^ That's one of Kajiura's I've not heard yet. I have .hack\\SIGN, Tsubasa and Elemental Gelade of hers, but not Noir. I wasn't too struck on the opening song for Noir, but I haven't actually heard any of the background music yet, so I'll definitely give that a go. Cheers ^_^

Akamaru: Waai! *glomps* Where have you been?

I'll try and get my sister to hide the power cable to the Wii if it gets really bad. but then, she want to play on it at least as much as I do, so that may not work. Perhaps Mum, then. Although, knowing her, I won;t see it again until I've finished the thing completely >.>;

Writer's Block
I can see the importance of a lot of writer's advice now. I hadn't really paid it much attention before, but now it really makes sense. Setting aside a time to write each day, for one, because it increases your productivity. I find it incredibly easy to get distracted. And to not isolate yourself is important, too. I've caught myself wanting to just be locked away somewhere (and while I'm sure some people may argue that'd be a good idea) to write, you have to get out and relax, bounce ideas off people and come back so you can keep your ideas fresh. Certainly you need breaks. But you have to be sensible with them. I really need to limit my time on Twilight Princess >.>;

So, I've got another few pages done. I want to get to forty by the end of today, which leaves me another four and a bit to go. This chapter's been pretty difficult to write; I suddenly encountered a logistical problem that needed sorting before I could move on. I could have written it and then come back, but it would have affected the scene order and generally been a bit messy. It should get simpler from here for a while. I've drafted out the next few chapters, so I have a guide to stick to.

Just remembered another problem that I never finished sorting out. That's later, though. I'll ignore that for the moment :p

I've a hankering to buy some more anime CDs, but I don't know what to get until Naruto: Shippuden comes out. Not that I've heard any of it yet, but I want it anyway ^___^

I have got Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle IV on the way, along with the 20020220 Final Fantasy concert CD. The 'More Friends' Final Fantasy LA Concert on my wish list, and I'll probably add Howl's Moving Castle before long, as that's something I'm interested in too.

I hope everyone's well. Feel free to drop me a line if you fancy a chat ^_^

Roleni-chan: Urgh, cannibalism. I hate dreams like that that give you a weird, unsettled feeling when you wake up. I had a dream I was going to die soon, and it suddenly made me realise how little I'd accomplished so far. Tell you what, it was pretty decent motivation if nothing else o_o;

The dreams you get when you're ill are downright horrible, too. If I described them to you, it wouldn't make any sense why they scare me as much as they do. It's the feeling you get with it that's just so... repulsive.

Zelda's going well now ^_^ I'm just over halfway through, I think.

Betteh.: I know, it's weird! I've had some dreams where I've been half-awake, and doing things without being completely aware of the situation. I once took my pillowcase off my pillow, and tried to pass my duvet to someone who wasn't there ^_^; It was just bizarre.

Bingle Jells
I've woken up twice this week and thought it was Christmas o_o;

I had a couple of really weird dreams two nights ago and when I woke up, for a brief moment I thought 'Ah, it's Christmas!'... and then I looked out of the window.

'No. No, it really isn't.'

And then I woke up with the same feeling yesterday morning. It was so bizarre.

By the way, I will get round to commenting on your sites today. Sorry for being slow ^_^;

Comments!

Roleni-chan: My eyes burned because the colour is so strong in that film. It's like somebody ate a set of acrylics and then vomited over the picture. But made it pretty.

Ah, I forgot about the synopsis. Thanks for reminding me ^_^; It's a pretty complicated plot; it's going to be pretty hard to sumarise it all so succinctly.

And yeah, there's no rush ^_^ If something comes along and it feels right, then that's the right time. It's pointless trying to make yourself find something just for the sake of it, because chances are you won't achieve anything meaningful.

Shin: Yep, honestly I have never owned a Zelda game before. I don't really know why. I did play Ocarina of Time on an N64 display model in Toys R Us for a while. But I didn't own that.

I kinda like the look of The Last Mimzy. I reminds me of Jumanji and Zathura, and I liked them (despite being all but exactly the same).

Mamma Vash: Yep, I would definitely recommend Blades of Glory ^_^ I think you'd like it.

Looking at pictures of the killer... I watched the video on MSN News, and it's really horrible. I read about things that happened to him in class (which, admittedly, I can see as having at least some effect on his rampage), but even so there was just no emotion there. Everything he said, his body language: he was unconfident, and to an extent I don't think he actually believed it was everyone else's fault, but it was an excuse. People who can't deal with emotions can't rationalise the effects they have on people around them.

Miss Monkey: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean and Transformers. Optimus Prime, EEE!

You too ^_^

Wensdayskitten: Hehe, that's cool ^_^ I've not played Majora's Mask, but I'm really tempted to buy a whole load of Zelda games to play through them all now.

I'm not sure how much longer Meet the Robinsons is going to be on; I think it's been pushed out by numerous other films here.

Three Movies, Three Days...
After today, I will have been to the cinema three days in a row. Gah o_o;

The best one so far has definitely been Blades of Glory. I liked it much, much more than I was expecting it to, as I don't usually go for that kind of comedy. Very nicely surprised, though, and it's quite nice to let yourself go every now and again. I must learn to do that more often, heh.

I was much less impressed by Curse of the Golden Flower, which I thought was a rather weak movie in some respects. There was a hell of a lot of it, but I guess I was expecting something more. The story was okay but far too drawn-out (it could have been at least an hour shorter), but the visuals were pretty cool, if incredibly rich in colour. I'd hate to actually live inside that Imperial Palace *eyes burn*

It has made me want to finally watch Hero, though- I've a hankering for some fights. It's been sat in a drawer ever since I bought it over a year ago. I also haven't watched My Neighbour Totoro or Whisper of the Heart yet, which I must must must must must do.

Tonight I'm going to see Wild Hogs. Don't know what it's going to be like- I've heard it's pretty average. Still, if nothing else it's an exercise in... watching films. I've still not gotten to see The Last Mimzy or Meet the Robinsons, both of which interest me somewhat.

Aside from the films, and our film, not much has been happening. I've been writing more, bit by bit, but will have fewer distractions to get a whole load done over the next two weeks. I'm looking forward to that. I'd like to get another two chapters down by then, and it's be an idea to get the synopsis done, too.

Turns out the person the girl was talking about wasn't Lawrence, but someone else entirely. Neither of their situations are something I particularly want to get involved in; in some ways I'm quite happy being virtually isolated. Although I'm still left with a big question mark over how I feel about relationships. I guess it's not really my focus at the moment- I'd rather write right now.

I hope everyone's doing okay. Hearing about the shooting in Virginia was a real shock. My heart goes out to the families of those involved.

Comments

Wensdayskitten: Ah, I see. I quite like the old X-Box. Dan's got one that we play on very occasionally, usually on LEGO Star Wars or Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

The Wii's fantastic ^_^ We bought Wii Play the other day, which was nice fun. I'm pretty far on Zelda, but I think I missed a heart piece in one of the dungeons and I don't know if I'l be able to go back and get it. I tried before and the monkeys were gone -__-;

Ah! I haven't watched Viva Pinata in over two weeks! It's still really cool, though... I know I'll buy it on DVD, hehe ^_^

Shinmaru: I've never had a Zelda game before, so for me it's been a great experience from the get-go. Wii Sports is definitely our favourite multiplayer venture so far- I really like boxing. I'm looking to get Eledees and Mario Party 8 when they're available.

Mamma Vash: Hey again! Good to see you, hehe. And thank you ^_^

Have you seen any sign of that car football DVD, by the way? I haven't heard anything of it since that video at the Expo.

Roleni-chan: I'm not sure how tied-down I'd be by a relationship, which is another reason I'm pretty wary about it. I think at the moment it may be one distraction too many considering where I am and what I want to be doing. If I don't knuckle down I could end up just never actually getting the book finished and sponging off my parents indefinitely, which is not what I want to do. But obviously, I'm being stupid about it- you can't rationalise feelings, or predict how you'll react when put into a situation. I'd like to think I'd know the right thing to do, but... I may not. I certainly haven't always in the past ^_^;

The 360 is the only other console that interests me. If it drops in price to around the £200 mark, ever, then I'll consider it. But at the moment I haven't the time ot the money. And I'd only buy it for Viva Pinata, heh ^_^; That isn't to say I haven't been entering into competitions to win them anyway...

Play my cards...
Comments!

1st March

Mimmi: I think you're right. It's not good to be in a relationship if you don't know what you want. Although to an extent, what you want will be changed by the relationship itself, it can make things difficult trying to entrust your feelings in someone else and having them entrust their feelings to you if you don't know the sum of your own feelings to begin with. Relationships formed in stressful times aren't often the most stable. But then, I could be wrong :p

Miss Monkey: I know exactly where you're coming from, heh ^_^;

Kei: I just happened across an opportunity, and I suddenly became incredibly nervous. I think... to an extent I don't want a relationship because I'm terrified of what could happen if it went wrong. It's the kind of mentality where there's the potential to be so hurt that I don't even want to risk it in the first place. But it is leaving me isolated from being potentially very very happy, too.

26th March

Wensdayskitten: Oddly enough, I don't think it's the first time it's happened. Actually, it isn't ^_^; I just remembered when it happened before. but I'm okay with that now, because I'm not friends with either of the people in the first situation, hehe.

Kei: *hugs* I have a letter and present for you too, actually. I started writing it and then got distracted >.>; Next thing I knew it was March, heh.

molletta: Thank you. It means a lot to me for you to say that, and I'm glad to know I'm not unjustly doing myself wrong. It's incredibly tempting to let my feelings out too, but I know it'll only serve to add more difficulties to an already pretty delicate situation.

But at the same time, I can't help being envious of other people. I want the opportunities, acceptance and happiness that other people have, and this bears a lot of relation to what I wasn't talking about earlier. As much as I can I help people around me, and I genuinely enjoy helping them and making them happy. But at the same time I seem to get left out of an awful lot- more than often seems fair. I don't know if I'm just being selfish but I feel like I'm being taken advantage of a lot of the time, and while I don't want to think like that, I just wonder what I would have to do to feel I'm getting back more of what I give. As a result I've no idea how much I mean to people. It makes me very paranoid and I'm sure it's affected things between me and some of my friends. I worry that it'll become really bad and screw things up between people I'm even closer to. Even typing this I'm worried bits of it will get taken the wrong way and held against me. I can't help it.

The odd thing is, I don't care what people I don't know think about me. It's people I care about that I want to think well of me, because I want them to accept me for who I am, rather than the silly mistakes I make. I'll defend myself more vehemently against accusations made by people I know and care about than people I don't know or don't care about. I guess that's all part of love, isn't it?

I always wonder whether the people I've lost touch with have lost touch with me because of their own natural drifting or whether I've said or done something ridiculous that I haven't known about. I shouldn't worry about it- I know I can get carried away sometimes when I feel emotional and panic a bit, but... I don't know. Maybe I don't trust people enough.

Either way, there's work I need to do. And as long as I don't say anything about it, nobody seems to know. And I kinda prefer it like that. Because then it's still my problem, and I can deal with it myself.

Mimmi: No, it's not you ^_^ It's something I was sworn not to tell anyone about, and I'm keeping to that promise, at least until such time that it becomes appropriate. And it's not really a problem in that it's having a direct effect on me- it's just putting some of my own feelings into plain view, where I'd rather not have them. Basically, it confounds my feelings of loneliness, envy and frustration, if that's anything to go by.

I can't remember if it was anything- oh, yes there was something else that was bothering me. But that's not about you either, so don't worry ^_^ I appreciate you being here, though.

So, Anyway...

I got a Nintendo Wii last week. It finally arrived! It's really cool, and although I've not played on it much I'm really happy to have it. Wii Sports is great fun, and Red Steel is pretty cool too once you've got the hang of the control system. It does take quite a lot of patience. I also bought Twilight Princess, but I haven't played it yet as I've had quite a lot of other things to do. Certainly, my novel's taking top priority at the moment. It's coming together quite nicely now, and I've had dozens of ideas for future books too ^_^ It's going to be a hell of a series, hehe.

But when Smash Bros Brawl and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics come out, I may have some rather hideous distractions to come to terms with ^_^;

Filled with FUN!
I'm so addicted to the Viva Piñata TV series it's ridiculous. I have no space on my Sky Digibox left because it's all taken up with episodes and I don't want to delete any. Which is a problem, as there are new ones every day >.>; I really hope they release a DVD soon, so then I can watch it properly, hehe. Paulie Pretztail and Franklin Fizzlybear are the best ^______^


If only there were a Wii version... or I had an X-Box 360. Then I could get Halo 3 as well, heh. Although I don't particularly want a skyscraper in my living room.

Ramble
I apologise for not commenting on the comments recently. I've been a bit preoccupied with things. Tonight isn't much different, although for the most part I've been preoccupied with absolutely nothing. Didn't feel like writing, didn't feel like playing computer games (although I did spend a while on Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes), didn't want to listen to music, I'd already logged into Facebook four times in the last hour... it's all a bit 'bleh', for lack of a better word.

Annoyingly I can't really talk about most of it. Here's one bit, though:

I never really got over a girl I saw a while ago. She's living in London now, along with a friend of mine. Now, I don't know whether this friend of mine knew I hadn't gotten over her (and my guess is that he's probably forgotten), but he sent me a text the other night (at half eleven, which was the first bad move) telling me how infatuated with her he was. Naturally, I was a little distressed, despite the fact that I knew I shouldn't be building my hopes up for anything to happen because I'm not going to London any time soon. So I gave him some advice and went to bed feeling crap, compounded with further, related feelings that are still occurring now.

So he sends me another text the other day saying he was probably wrong, and that he was an idiot. Being me, I said he shouldn't be afraid to give it a go, which I sort of half-regret, but knew that I'd never forgive myself if I let myself get in the way of two of my friends potentially being very happy. Now he's just declared his feelings for her, and I don't know where it'll go. I don't really want to get involved in it because I know it's going to hurt. But that's my own fault.

I wish I wasn't so nice sometimes.

I also wish I wasn't an idiot.

There are other things I wish too, but I'll leave those tucked under my subconscious, heh.

Ciao.
