Arrgghhhh!!

Okay, so it's been a while since I blogged on here, and I'm sorry for that D: I had an amazing blog ready last month after my birthday..but I forgot V.V

Not really much to report. I'm in the last stage of easter Hols (they went so fast D: ). Had a great day at Victoria Country park with Tom and Charlie (shame Hei couldn't come along, but oh well. NEXT TIME HE WILL COME! >D). We made a video! And here it is, in all it's glory!

uhh..what else? Nothing really,..so here's a list of pokemon that should probably die:-

Bronzor
Bronzong
Zubat
Golbat
Crobat
Dewgong


..I think it was longer, but I can't remember any more at the moment. No doubt the list will grow larger the more I think about it. xD

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today~

So I've been thinking recently. About the past, about the future. Not exactly what I'm wanting to be, like going to university or getting a job or whatever, but more of where I'm heading, and what I'm heading away from. It's a weird thing, I know. But it's just been preying on my mind lately. I think it's just..time to think things through properly. For those of you not in the know, I've had some troubling times just after new years with who I thought were two of my best friends, but that's a longer story for another day. Suffice to say, I haven't felt...well, I've felt happy, but not my usual Optimistic happiness, if that makes sense. I don't know why this feeling comes into my head, but going away for a while seems like the best option. Not like, emo im gonna hide away in my room for ages (I do that already. Well, just not in an emo way anyways) but more like..travelling - Seeing the world, gaining experiences. Travelling. It just..seems right, ya know?

But that costs money, and unless I get people to come with me to share the experience and stuff, I doubt it'll happen for a while yet. Joey at college piqued some interest, which is positive, but I wanna try getting a driver's license first too.

But yeah, there's my small thinking session over and done with. Now for some other random facts.

Day off tomorrow. Gonna be filled with excellent boring stuff xD So I might go see if I can find anything to do at some point tonight.

ALSO

SIX DAYS.

"Six days to what?" I hear you ask. Well, that's simple.

It's my 19th Birthday. It's gonna be a good week - Pilgrim House on Monday, The Talking HEads to see one of my friends band playing, then Off to uhh..The Hobbit or Reflex on the Friday after work. So all good ^^

Anywas, I want to go play Fallout 3, so I shall update this whenever.

So it's been almost like, two weeks since the last post. I guess I should update this more often, but I get halfway through and either a)Forget what to write b)decide I don't like what I've written or c)can't be arsed. But this time I've vowed to actually finish this blog, regardless of how much I complete.

So today has been rather interesting, in retrospect to my usual Sunday's. Work went as it did, the usual at Robert Dyas. Except something happened
Though I should probably go back a few months, before I start this short story.

A few months ago, this old lady came into our shop, and asked about toilet cistern cleaner-thingy's. I remember it because the words she said to me were along the lines of 'I'm half-blind, I have a bad heart, but I do have my sense of humour still". She also said she was writing an autobiography of her life. For some reason, this old lady spurned me into writing again - a motivation I hadn't felt since the last year of secondary school.

This was what was possibly the first of two encounters with this person. And no doubt the last.

Today, she came back in, and I instantly knew it was her. and she said the same line about her having a sense of humour. I asked her about her book, and she said she had finally sent it off to the Publishers, which I am delighted to hear about. So if you're the sort of person who likes to read autobiographies, then I suggest you pick this up. Maybe not for the celebrity twists, but because this will actually show you how a normal person coped with growing up, and how she is still trying to look on the positive side of things. I didn't actually get her name, but if I ever pick up the book, I shall definitely put up the title and author, for all you lovely readers (:

Anyways, enough about my recommendations. Time for other stuff.

Well, actually. I'm not finished for recommendations yet.

Alien Versus Predator came out lately, so I decided to pick it up after getting payed. and I must admit. Wow. I mean, I'd heard mixed reviews, but I thought it was actually quite a good game - The marines story is pretty good, atmosphere wise - dark, quiet at times, and you can hear the aliens and predator which gave me the creeps sometimes. The Aliens campaign is what I like to call fun - you go round each level, killing people and latching onto ceilings. It takes a while to get used to, but I definetely prefer using the aliens. As for the predator levels, I haven't played them as yet, so I can't say as much for them. Suffice to say, this game is actually not too bad. I want to play the co-op survival mode with someone, as soon as I can find someone willing to. xD

Anyways, I'm feeling sleepy, so I'm off to bed early today.

The Rest of My Life

Aha, so that dreaded V-day has finally come around, and what every person not with a partner likes to refer to as 'Single-Awareness Day'. Unfortunately, I belong to one of these, something I've done for 18 out of 19 years of my life. Yes, I have only had a girlfriend round Valentines day once, and that spectacularly failed. So my disposition towards this lovely day is less than positive.

*rant time* I mean, what is so good about Valentines day anyways? You get to tell your partner that you love him/her more than anything in the world and that you'll never leave them or anything and..wait, isn't that what you're supposed to tell them EVERYDAY? ]=< I mean, surely you don't need just one day to re-iterate this? Just like Marriage - why do you need a piece of paper to tell you that you love the person lots and lots and lots.

But hey,enough about complaing. Time for happy. The reason why I started talking about Valentines Day first was because I get to follow it up with what everyone ('cept the anti-asian people) will love. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR. Yes, Sunday marks the day that the Chinese Calendar returns back to Day 1, and a new year dominated by a different animal begins. In this case, the Tiger, the third of the Zodiacs.

Umm, well, that's all I got on the subject. Iwas going to taste some chinese food during lunch at works, but well...I opted for the Burger King. And when I got home, I watched that New Star Trek Movie everyone was raving about, and had Stew and Dumplings for dinner. The Stew was nice..and the film was good, so everything worked out fine. : D
So next year I'm DEFINETELY going to try out some celebratory Chines foodstuffs, regardless of whether it looks bad or good or whatever.

I'm just hoping that next year Chinese New year will land on Pancake day (:

So I sit here, 23 minutes into a blog, and I've only just started writing. Amazing. xD

I actually have nothing really to report - everything's been really boring lately, but I needed to do something to while away the time, so here I am. :)

So er..yeah.

Here I am.

Ready to talk.

...

ok! Fine! I got somethign to talk about!

Mass Effect! I actually have started playing it. Yes, the first one. I've found it quite enjoyable so far, and it's actually challenging in some parts, which is rare in a game these days (unless you go to extra-double hard-EXTREME mode) which I'm glad about.
Don't like much about the ability to cover - it's so..sensitive and fiddly, and it's not fun when I'm behidn cover trying to peer out, when suddenly I tilt it just a little too much, and then suddenly I'm out of cover, being blown to pieces by a group of Bandits/Geth/Mercs.
I like the storyline so far though, it's quite deep if you care for it, and I like the characters, even if conversations with them feel a little..broken (but that may be due to the fact of choice of myself).
What else?
Oh yeah, I got a bone to pick with this game. Why is it Shepard cannot jump, yet a Tank/Car/Thing can? I mean, I get the fact it's got thrusters on it, but a jump button could be useful.

And if Shepard is meant to be an elite member fo the Spectres, why can't he combat roll? Surely didging would be the msot responsive thing to do when you're being shot at by several different plethora of weapons?

All in all though, an excellent game! I love the way everything is...well, beautiful. Th graphics are beautiful, I actually want to explore every world to find out about them, and uhh..yeah. xD

Not the best review, but it'll do. =]

Anyways, I guess I should go off to...well..find somethign to do. I said I'd tell one of my friends when I'm done so I can start writing more of my book, so of I go!

Dex! =]

A little doubt goes a long way

So here's perhaps the first of many, many posts that have yet to come. I'm afraid it's taken me like, a week to actually post the first blog, but that's because I've never really had my own 'blog site' to actually write on (save for the Windows Live Messenger blog, but last time I did that was about 4 years ago >.>"), and as such, didn't actually know what name to have.

Yes. Tragic, isn't it? 18 years of age and it took me a week to come up with a name for my blog. The one I thought of isn't the greatest, but it's the best I could come up with at half 12 in the morning. Can't even think of a title for this blog in partiular now. D=

Ah well, I'm sure it'll present itself at some point.

So uhh...yeah, I don't know what to write in these things either. I guess that gets easier over time hopefully. I could just look at other blogs, and steal/borrow/learn off them, but I really can't be arsed at this point. It's already 00:56, and for some reason I'm tired already.


So yeah, there's my start to a blog site. Pretty awesome, yeah? ;) Maybe I'll write again, maybe I'll forget.





....ah! A title! How amazing is that? (:


p.s.According to the automatic draft thingy, it's taken me an hour and 2 minutes to write this thing, so now I'm wondering - How long does it take the random amount of bloggers who will ever read this to write a post?
