On top of all of the previous entry (if you can't read it, you may have to let me know and I'll consider putting you on the filter if I know you)... now my PSU starts heating up, will release a burning smell within 5 minutes... and by the time my PC is fully booted, it shuts itself off and won't turn back on for a while.

What next? :]

I'm a terrible updater. :(

The Download update is still coming, but hit a snag. Sorry.

This update is to tell you THAT I TOTALLY HUNG OUT WITH retrosoup TONIGHT! He is an anglophile DICKWEED... but to be fair, that's his greatest trait. Seriously, lots of fun. We only went out for a couple drinks and some food, but we talked a lot and he's a really nice guy!

I ENJOYED IT. WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

Also, foxlets... check your voicemail. :O

187 pictures uploaded... and so far 1 video... more to come.

AWESOME

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:14:30 GMT

Aside from a rainy first day, Download Festival was fucking AWESOME.

NO SERIOUSLY GUYS THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING WEEK OF MY LIFE. THE PRODIGY AND PENDULUM WERE AMAZING... AND WE MET SO MANY FREAKING PEOPLE!

I will have over 200 pictures and videos uploaded later, including me dressed as a tent.

Drama Camp.

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:46:09 GMT

So heading off to Download Festival at last.

Been a ... stressful couple of days, but we're finally off. Lots of annoying and amusing stories for when you get back, and the entire Sja update (with Download) will be when I get back the day before I start my new job.

I'll miss you guys! <3

Filler + filler + filler... have you been filled yet?

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:04:29 GMT

Yet another filler update. Lucky you guys.

I have two things to say. One is fun news, the other is AWESOME news. :D

Fun news first, ~~I'm off to see Terminator Salvation with Phil, Joe and Sja. Yay.~~

Edit: God knows what happened to Phil, Joe and Sja. They still haven't turned up so we've missed the final showing. Boo! But the second bit of news still stands. ;D

And now, the awesome news.

I have a new job! :D

Went in yesterday morning for an 'interview' with one of the directors at Davy's (where I currently work occasionally part-time with no set job role)... and 5minutes later, I was offered the job. I guess I made a good impression with my help over the last 6months. I know a few others were interested in the position!

I start 16th June 2009. I work Mon-Fri 8.30-17.00. My first 9-5 job... ever. It came with an immediate pay-rise on my hourly rate (an extra 75p/$1.30) with another rise in 6 weeks after my trial period. It will then become salary based, rather than hourly.

I'm not yet 100% sure on my job role, but I know the first half of it is admin based and revolves around credit notes and sorting out payments with the various winebars under Davy's ownership. The second half of the job will involve photography, website management and photoshopping of images to go on the site.

Seeya later flist! :D

The weekend? I'm hoping it's just the week beginning...

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:35:09 GMT

Well... you may have noticed my continued absence from the internet in general. Sorry guys, but seriously?

Greatest weekend ever, in addition to the awesome week and a half prior to today!

The weather has been perfect mid 20s/70s and I've felt so relaxed. No worrying. No anxiety. Just relaxation, fun, laughter and great weather. Met up with Sja's friend Dan and he hung out with us the whole weekend, and not only is he coming to see us again next week... but Sja's real life best friend from Belgium is coming here to hang out with us too! We plan to go to the beach and be AWWWWWWWWWESOME. :D

The large entry on all of it is coming soon but I'm still waiting on a few more pics (and perhaps videos). The best thing about all of this is I know it's set to continue! The beach is going to roooooock. :D

AND THEN WE HAVE DOWNLOAD THE WEEK AFTER THAT. LIFE. GOOD. Yes. :)

2 Teaser Pics:

I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!

Phil: dude, sum fing ova dere
Jazz: fuck dat, wat is dis shit over DERE

It's not every day a famous poet buys me something...

That was a bit unexpected! Whoever that was, thank you. Once I've finished being busy with friends, I'll make good use of it. ;)

An IQ of 100 is average. A QI of 100 is overbooked.

Wed, 27 May 2009 16:36:39 GMT

Well, I didn't get to update yet mostly because the enjoyable times have continued... and we've not managed to upload the images just yet, and I want them to be part of the post!

So what else has occurred since? I will tell you...

Went back to Phil and Joe's after Star Trek.

Convinced Sja not to leave the next afternoon to go back to Belgium.

Ordered a cab to pick Sja up from her hotel to stay at Phil's with us. She turns up at 3am Sunday morning.

Spend Sunday afternoon walking in the park in glorious 23C (early 70s - I GOT IT THE CORRECT WAY ROUND THIS TIME) and then stopped off at a pub for a beer and Roast Dinner.

Mocked Phil for saying Dindins, foodsies, om nom noms and okey dokey. When he hit me for the deserved mocking, I called him a meanie-weanie.

Climbed a tree and enjoyed the sun.

Played Wheelman and spent more of the evening all being sarcastic to each other.

Played UFC on PS3, smoked shisha, and generally continued to hang out.

Cooked Tomato and Cheese Pasta Bake for everyone Monday evening. It was surprisingly delicious. I didn't poison anyone!

Was supposed to go see QI on Tuesday, but they overbooked so we couldn't see Stephen Fry... :(

Went to the pub with Sja, Radley and his brother. Ended up staying there for almost 4 hours!

Got the train back, hung out with Sja whilst Phil was at work. Watched a Japanese documentary type thing on male hosts and how their job is to make women fall in love with them.

Chatted on cam to some of Sja's friends.

Had a glorious sleep. Again.

I'm sorry I've not been on much, both on MSN/AIM and on TQC and such... but I've barely had time to spend too long online, but there will be a large update before the week is out!

Anything interesting happening with you guys? Link me to any specific entries I may have missed! :)

A good week? In MY year? It's more likely than you think.

Sun, 24 May 2009 06:05:20 GMT

The past 7 or so days have been pretty great. I will update more tomorrow evening most likely (and hopefully will have a few pics at least)...

The basics were:

Poker at The International. Someone sucked out on me when I was doing really well (which I will elaborate on later), but it was still really fun.

Working in the cellar, plus possible job opportunity, plus some good news regarding vacation/holiday pay.

Basically hanging out with Phil and Joe.

Went to the London MCM Expo and looked at all the awesome cos players, listened to Linda Hamilton (of Terminator fame) a little and basically just enjoyed all the nerdy awesomeness around me.

Met Sja/xbakahime (online friend I knew a few years ago via Maple Story) and hung out with her at the Expo, then went for Nandos and to the cinema...

...to watch Star Trek! :D

Had a falling out with a friend, but this does not negate the fun I've had this week! Hopefully tomorrow will continue to be awesome. The weather is in the early 70s (around 23C) and I've been sleeping really well. I don't look anywhere near as tired as I used to.

Hope you're all keeping happy. :) ily

Sackboy love.

Sat, 16 May 2009 15:29:41 GMT

For any of you LittleBigPlanet fans out there, guess what arrived in the post yesterday morning!

Hell yeah.

Sony sent it for joining their YouTube LittleBigPlanet site thing, I guess. IT IS SO CUTE! And free. And awesome. :D

Anyway, I have to dash. I'm going to play some live Texas Hold'Em at the International and the Empire Casino in London. Here's hoping I win a few grand!

:D

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 06:47:23 GMT

tolbiny has LANDED!

Only an hour or so until I must go pick her up from the station! :D

OMG

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:32:59 GMT

FINALLY. SOME GOOD NEWS. I HAVE MY COMPUTER BACK! :D

I've been without my computer since June 2008. ALMOST A YEAR OF HAVING TO USE THAT CRAPPY LAPTOP AS LONG AS NOBODY ELSE WANTED IT.

My beautifully organised music collection! :D My tv shows! :D A computer that can actually RUN Firefox immediately! :D

This almost makes the last few shitty weeks seem a lot, lot better! :)

HI GUYS! YOU'LL BE SEEING MORE OF ME (and yes, that includes a real update)!

Lots of 'pus!

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 01:37:09 GMT

Sam and I do tend to have the most random conversations sometimes...

The subject of Cthulhu came up (thanks sleepie_kid) and Sam was saying how he enjoyed the Cthulhu story, and if he did not know of the existence of Octopi, and one came out of the sea... he would tell everyone of the sea monster that attacked him.

I told him I would blatantly have managed to count its legs, and calmly named it the Octopus.

THEN I decided I wished there were 6 tentacled 'puses so there would be a creature called a Hexopus. Although we eventually decided that Pentapus and Nonapus were even better.

If you guys could invent a new animal for the sake of giving it an amusing (at least to you) name... what would you lot come up with?

I swear I am neither drunk, nor high right now...

A social butterfly is me!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:57:43 GMT

First of all, I would like to apologise for not being around much this week! Especially in the last 3 days or so. I've been having fun meeting some online people, and hanging out with Martin (one of my best irl friends) since he is currently on 2 week leave from the army. I don't get to see him often.

I will update on the week later, and expect a usual large block of text!

On a good side-note, I had such a good sleep last night... and actually woke up at 7.30am without feeling terrible. =]

So... did I miss anything fun?

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:29:39 GMT

Bored of Livejournal.

Bai guyz

Might be back in a month or two!

Legend of the Seeker

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 02:56:51 GMT

~Possible Spoilers for non Americans who want to watch the series based on The Sword of Truth series~

Ok, I can't help but continue to watch this show... but I also can't help but get incredibly annoyed by the many changes to the book made.

I was fairly tolerant prior to the latest episode (1x16), they had ruined fairly important aspects of the first book, like how the Sword works, how Richard becomes The Seeker, The Book of Counted Shadows, the Denna storyline and much more... but now they've introduced Jennsen already? Richard isn't supposed to learn of her existence for another 6-7 books! I did not like how the magic of Orden affected him either, nor how easy it was for him to be able to wield the magic. It's pretty much completely against the entire philosophy of magic in the books. It's supposed to be ridiculously difficult to utilise the magic for a reason!

Grawr! Still, Bridget Regan is absolutely gorgeous in it... and the show still manages to make me want to watch it each week. I won't rant too much, I could go on for many, many paragraphs!

Anyone who is watching this series, but has not yet read the books. At least try the first one, "Wizard's First Rule". :)

ETA: Lost is FINALLY Downloading! :D If anyone wants to know where to get it from, and has a torrent client, you can get the latest episode here. =)

Blue penis. Lots of blue penis.

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:37:55 GMT

You lot post WAY too much. I'm offline for a little over 24 hours and it takes me almost 2 to go through over 160 entries! THANKS GUYS! ;]

Real post is coming soon, but will mention that I'm loving the Spring weather... and I saw Watchmen last night. Opinions later. It's strange how much I miss some of you guys when I'm gone for a short time!

Pi Day.

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:42:07 GMT

Question post is coming later, I've given enough time for people to read it and ask... so it'll be sometime tonight. :)

I'm a little annoyed because I left my LJ logged in on my sister's computer, and she's managed to come onto LJ (which she doesn't normally use) and scroll down to read my locked entries and private entries. Needless to say, I did not want her to read the earlier entry for obvious reasons... and now it's caused a crapload of trouble.

Do NOT read my personal stuff again. Grow the hell up and maybe take some of the advice people give you.

As a result, because I don't like my family knowing any of my business, a lot more entries will be friends locked as of this moment. Feel free to comment where you know me from and I'll be more than happy to add you!

Ohai Meme

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 20:38:17 GMT

Ok, so since restarting my LJ over, I have added ~30 or so new people to my list :)

And I know a lot of you don't really know all that much about me other than what you've learnt from the few posts I've made so far, and perhaps the odd comment and Facebook stuff.

SO!

You may all ask me up to 3 questions each. Take care to read what has already been asked so you don't waste a question. I will then post the answers in a future (locked) entry. I'm willing to answer some pretty personal questions, but I reserve the right to refuse to answer! (just in case!)

London Night shots...

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 08:32:44 GMT

Ok, so almost a week ago, I promised some pictures from that night. I'm finally posting them. I will post a more meaningful update on shit that's happened this week later/tomorrow in a F-locked post! :)

Picture Time

You can click the images to get to larger version of them.

I couldn't decide between black and white, or colour for this image.

A second church which I kind of liked the look of.

Experimenting with 30 second exposures on car traffic.

Tower Bridge. One of the towers. I didn't like how this looked in colour.

Seriously one of the most amazing bridges I have ever seen.

Big Ben, up close and personal.

Tower Bridge yet AGAIN. This time from afar.

More on life tomorrow. I'm not overly happy with all the images, but I'm still experimenting with night photography. If for whatever reason, Boomspeed is being a Thundercunt... you can view the images (albeit reduced quality) HERE. (First 8 images - I didn't include the colour church one in the Facebook album.)

Picture Post coming soon! :)

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:50:37 GMT

Sooo, went into Central (Greater) London (I live in Greenwich, which is SE) and took a few pictures of the night. Not really had much experience with long exposures over a few seconds, so it was fun to experiment!

Click the image for larger version.

I spent 5minutes or so Photoshopping in a moon to make the sky less bland, when I get more time, I'll do it properly. Other than that, there was no editing. :) Although apparently you all prefer the unedited. I hate wasted space in pics. I think I may use it as an image for my LJ with text though... :)

...more snow?

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:51:39 GMT

So we've had the coldest Winter for 20 years, with the largest amount of snow London has seen in about the same amount of time. Then we had a month's worth of rain fall in one day, and that with the snow melting has caused a bunch of floods...

And now it's bloody snowing and settling again!

What?!?!

On a happier note, who else is loving Lily Allen's new album? Even if "Fuck You" sounds like "Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear?" and "Who'd Have Known?" sounds like "Shine" by Take That...

What... an update? Really? ...snow joke. -groan-

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 23:25:44 GMT

This is less an actual update, and more just a bunch of pictures and a video of all the snow we had last week.

Sadly, it has melted now in South England... but it was fun whilst it lasted. Before the pictures, I'll give a quick update on the week!

I had a lot of work the day after the main snow... worked 6 days at the wine shop because Aaron was incapacitated in Canada. Getting to work was such a fucking pain in the arse though! WHAT?! Google Chrome is telling me "arse" isn't a real word. FUCK YOU GOOGLE!

The majority of my walk to work involved me slipping on ice. My shoes were not made for such conditions. It was amusing watching everyone else falling over and trying to catch themselves though.

Other than that, it was a pretty mediocre week. I either messed about online, or worked! The Sunday just gone was the most eventful day. I met Lizzy in London after hours of delays and diversions, we went to Camden and smoked Apple Shisha and just hung out for the day, which was fun!

The last couple of days, I've been at Phil's playing PS3 and Gamecube, smoking shisha and just chilling really. Donkey Konga is so much fun to play, as you may have read from my post last night. Felt a bit silly though because it came without a manual... and it was easy enough to figure out which symbols were Left Drum, Right Drum and Both Drums at once, with longer notes meaning you continuously beat... but it took us about 15 minutes to figure out the CRASH type symbol. It didn't take me long to realise there was a mic on the drums, so we just assumed you had to yell in time with that particular note. Haha... so we're banging away at drums, occasionally screaming AHHH!

After 10minutes of this, I thought it was a bit silly... and realised instead that you're supposed to CLAP. Haha! Oops.

BUT ANYWAY! ON TO THE PICTURES! But first... a video of Joe in the snow.

Phil and I also ended up doing this, but no videos were taken. Too bad! ;D

My nephew Chase is finally old enough to appreciate the snow and have some fun.

My sisters! Such posers...

My sister, Kalina, thought it would be fun to draw a giant penis in the snow. (This was just as it started to settle)

Apparently she likes to give head.

"Oh noes. I got splurged on."

When snowballs collide.

Danya's snow angel.

Oh snow!

Are you sure this is sanitary?

Immaturity. This was actually Ian. A 40+ year old man.

My street.

Fox prints! COCO HAS BEEN HERE!

YAY SNOW! Kali is loving it.

I threw a snowball at her head whilst she was at some traffic lights.

I did start off wearing a warm hat, but I got too hot.

Slightly more impressive Snow Angels that Phil and I made.

Snow makes everything look so much nicer.

AMMUNITION!

Phil throwing a snowball.

The morning after!

No Ball Games sign... with snowballs on it. Hey, it amused me...

Dead in the snow.

BURIED ALIVE!

THE HUMAN SNOWMAN

Kalina, and my niece Skye, nephew Chase... and Mr. Snowman.

Big Snowball!

Danya and Skye in Greenwich Park.

Skye and Chase enjoying the snow.

Greenwich Park.

This is where I dived into the snow.

And before I finish, any of you on Facebook who wish to add me: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=593280636 - PLEASE DO! :)
