meh
jeez, i havent updated in like...2 months. i have no real excuse, i just dont really feel like updating here anymore. I guess this is it. almost. :q


its been a fairly busy two months all in all. i still havent found a new job, but i've pretty much given up on that. Cotswolds (who im technically currently employed by) said they have more hours available this March so imm gonna stick with them for the time being.


I went to see Ponyo at the cinema. It was a very enjoyable movie, perhaps not one of Miyazaki's best productions, but a veritable classic in its own right. I thoroughly enjoyed it and woulf recommend it to anyone. It's really nice to see a traditionally animated movie in the theatres today. It doesnt happen very often.

I have also decided, after watching a whole spate of Miyazaki movies, that if i ever have kids, im gonna make them watch movies like Ponyo, Totoro, Howls Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso etc when they're young. im gonna bring them up on a diet of Miyazaki movies. and a few disney movies too, maybe. there's just something so heart-warming and fantastic about a good Ghibli movie that invokes the imagination that you don't get in some of today's kids movies.


Another big event from the past couple of months is that my older brother graduated from his diploma course in L.A. my parents went out to see his ceremony, so i got the house to myself for a whole week. it was pretty awesome. XD

and finally, i have spent the last two weeks training to get my full motorcycle license. I took the test yesterday, and I passed!!! so i am now a fully licensed Rider! w00t! it means i can take my Learner plates off of Luna finally. (I've been riding with Learner plates on Luna for 6 years. 6 Years! sheesh.)

so yeah, all is good with me. Sorry that i dont stop by and visit much anymore. or at all really. ^^;;; im bad like that. Though, tho be fair, most of my friends here are now on Facebook or DeviantArt, and i talk to them there. its pretty dead here these days. *shrug* i dont expect myself to last much beyond easter or so. i'll proabably shut down my blog then. its been a fun five or six years though. ^^


later folks.

23 years down, 477 years to go

Hey everyone who doesnt read this. FUUUCCCKKK. no-one just read that, so i can say whatever i want.

so the yesterday was my birthday! w00t! and actually, it was a pretty good day. it has been snowing here, so i decided to go sledding. it was actually a whole load of fun. there was quite a few people there, all strangers united in their innate need to sled. XD i also went walking through the woods, which were so inherently beautiful in the snow. all in all, a very good birthday. and lots of Facebook love. XD


so, whats worse then a hundred dead babies nailed to a tree?

One dead baby nailed to a hundred trees. HA!


today i went to see Sherlock Holmes at the cinema. It was an BRILLIANT movie, and i would thoroughly recommend it. Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law are spectacular.


its been a weird week or so since new years. lots of snow (what?!) and of course, i am now no longer with job. i need to do something bout that. :q



so anyhoo, if you ARE actually reading this, thank you. please read my last post too.

IF, however, you are NOT reading any of this, go smack a turkey. go on. DO IT.

till next time!

Annual Yearly Check-Up.

and so ends another year...and, even more importantly, so ends another decade! crikey.

looking at the decade as a whole, its been a pretty good one for me...much more interesting and exciting than the 90's! the 00 decade saw me have a 99.9% increase in my anime intake. not bad, huh? from "i like pokemon" to...well... you just have to see my room. XD i've also grown up a helluva lot during the last decade, my drawing skills have increased dramatically, and i've travelled alot too.

so yeah. a good decade. ^^

as for the past year of it: well, i spent a large chunk of it overseas. Working at camp for the third year running, then travelling on to Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand (which. was. AWESOME!) Hong Kong, and then a dream come true as i made it to JAPAN BABY! YEAH!! two weeks, one in kyoto, one in tokyo and i loved every second of it. it was amazing.


the rest of the year has been pretty good too. I passed my Motorcycle theory test a few weeks back, Luna (my dearly beloved motorscooter) reached 10,000 miles this year. i attended an anime all-nighter earlier this year, which was fantastic.
overall, the none travelling bits of the year have been fairly peaceful and relaxed.

its not been a fantastic year for art or stories, though the ideas keep flowing and i keep submitting stuff, which is good.

new anime this year? uhm...not much. I've recently taken to watching the Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei series, which is very funny, if a little bit dark. I also watched all of Solty Rei, which is a decent series, and i've watched the first half of Eureka 7, which is a good series. I've also taken to watching Kamen Rider this year, mostly Decade and Double, but i got the opportunity to watch some of the older series in Thailand. XD

This year has been an ok year for Gundam Models, though im rapidly running out of room, so i have to limit myself these days. ^^;;;

and, whilst i still spend huge amounts of time online, my little communities are starting to break down. I honestly believe MyO is on it's last legs, and i havent the urge to build up my Worlds. deviantart has been kinda quiet recently too, but i put that down to christmas mostly.





so, in summary, its been a very good year. and, as we swing into 2010, and I personally swing into being 23 years old (im such an old fart ;p )
i hope that the future will continue to be rewarding as 2009 has been to me. i've had a great year and i hope you have too.


a quick shout-out to any of my readers who still pop by from time to time (Princess, sbsp, angel zakuro etc)
and a big shout out to all the people i met this year and all my friends, who made my adventure truly fantastic. ^^


till 2010 then!

You have wings of STEEL. No one's really sure why, but at this point in your life you've shut off emotion to the point of extreme apathy. You are cold and indifferent much of the time...or perhaps you're just a good pretender. Next to impossible to get close to, even those who do never see the real you. It's entirely possible that YOU don't even know the real you. You have a certain fascination or attraction to destruction on a massive scale - disasters, perhaps even death or the concept of the Apocalypse. Because you hold so much inside, one day you're simply going to snap. Then the mask will fall away, and your true wings will be revealed. Until then you will deal with whatever comes your way in icy bitter silence and acceptance. On the positive side, you are fearless and immeasurably strong - not much can crack through your defenses. You intrigue people, who can't help but wonder why you're the way you are. A loner and one who spends much of their time brooding and contemplating life and death - you are a time bomb waiting to explode and create some destruction of your own. *~*~*Claim Your Wings - Pics and Long Answers*~*~* brought to you by Quizilla

.:You live your life: ~indifferently~:. Nothing matters. You fear nothing. Everything matters. You fear all. You could be the perfect partner and the worst friend/lover. There will always be the things that matter and the things that don't. Realize that before you let go of your grip just a bit too much.. How do you live your life?
