Huh. I actually have stuff to talk about today.
hiya folks. lotsa stuff to talk about and piccies to show ya today.

where to start...okies, first off on Sunday I discovered that the National Film Theatre in London is doing an anime event during August, showing a range of anime films including Pom Poko, Spirited Away, Patlabor, Place Promised, Karras, Mind Game, Area 88, and a couple of others i cant remember. i kinda want to see Place Promised on the big screen (i've already got it on DVD) but i wanted to go see a film with Nic, so i asked him what he wanted to see, and he said "Mind Game" so we'rre gonna see that. Im also gonna watch "Patlabor" there beforehand, cuz its showing on the same day. Its another one i've already seen several times, ut i think will be awesome experiencing it on the big screen. I would go and watch Place Promised as well, but it would mean having to go all the way up to London on a different day, and besides, it costs like £8 (approx 12.5 US Dollars) for a single ticket. expensive, yes, but the experience will be worth it, and plus i'll get to go out and actually do something with my friend this summer.

Uh what should i say now...okies, after i updated on Sunday, i decided to go up to this lil place where i used to go as a kid. Near where i used to live there is this big field, and behind the field is an allotment. well, it used to be an allotment. i dont think it is anymore. anyway, this Engineers Club set up a Minature Railway in this allotment and during the summer months on certain Sunday afternoons, they open the gates and allow people to ride on the trains. its a way of raising funds, and getting to do something productive with what the club members make. ^^ As i said, I used to go there all a time as a kid, but since we moved (like...8 or 9 years ago) i havnt been there, cept maybe once, but it was right after we moved. the other day my dad found a list of dates they were running, so on sunday i walked up to where it was and spent the afternoon riding the lil trains. These things are like ACTUALLY steam powered, and require stuff like coal and water to run, like an actual Steam Locomotive does. they have a small area for maintenance and a small area where there's a refreshments shop. its was vaguely nostalgic, and a tonne of fun too. i like steam trains, its one of my lesser known things that im in to. I also took some pictures to show you guys. normal piccie pressies apply...just hover your cursor over the pics to see the alt text...















anyway, that was my Sunday afternoon. and we all now know that Darke was a nerd as a kid as well as now. it never leaves you...


anyhoo, on Monday things took a decided turn for the worst. initially the gasman was supposed to come to do something to our boiler and he never showed, but thats not the bad thing that happened.

the bad thing that happened was that i managed to get myself SUSPENDED from my Air Cadet Squadron. it was mostly my fault i guess, but im really pissed off and upset at the fact that after 6 years of service and all it takes is one mistake to get me booted out on my arse. granted that mistake was roughly manhandling a female cadet. see, what happened was that i was bored out of my skull and not in a good mood anyway and i had been asked to do something with a group of cadets whilst the other group did a first aid exercise. so whilst i was trying to get a team building exercise underway this one female cadet didnt wanna take part, and nothing im saying is making that much difference, so i grab her by the arm and make her join in. From that point on she keeps on challenging me, with stuff like "OMG i can't believe you just touched me" and "if you touch me one more time i will hurt you", y'know, as if she felt like she was better then me. So in the end i push her a lil too far and she tries to "hurt" me and i throw her on her back on the grass. anyhoo, she gets all pissed off and tattles on me, and result, im suspended. i didnt really fight the desicion since im not really supposed to touch the cadets and actually throwing one of them to the ground is considered bullying which also is not allowed, but thats not what bothers me. What bothers me is the fact that i should have known that weak pathetic lil girls are more likely to tell then the guys i normally roughhouse with and should just left her alone. BUT iwas was bored and fed up with young upstarts challenging my authourity.

so anyways, im suspended for a month, but seeing as i was going to be leaving soon anyway, there's no point in going back. It sucks major ass, and im really bummed about it. Yeah, i always complained about going there, but this wasnt how i wanted to end it after 6 years.

anyway, enough with the Emo cr4p.

some of you expressed an interest in seeing my Original Keyblade design. and here it is...



The "Heart's Refrain". Handle is a treble cleff, blade is a triplet of notes. is more powerful when weilded by someone with a creative heart. waddya think?


okies, lets wrap this up. i have another CDD for you, but you wont really get it unless you see THIS PIC first. A friend of mine on DeviantArt did this awesome fanart of her Original Character "Neo" sleeping with Chibi Darke. So i did todays CDD so as to return the favour.


ah, innuendo. ^^ LMAO

today we finish with another video. Its a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 Vid, but its just of some credits. the visuals arnt really important, its the sound that is. The mst3k Crew do a rendition of popular songs to a Native American Indian beat. enjoy.




till next time!


EDIT: ah triple Shit! i totally forgot, Im going on holiday on Saturday for a week to Wales to see my brother in his show and just to take a vacation. So you wont get an update for over a week. i will be taking Ms. Midori (my laptop for the uninitiated) with me, so in the unlikely event of me encountering a Wi-Fi hotspot amongst the Sheep and stuff, i might get the chance to pop online and say hello, else you're just gonna have to wait.

And also, next Thursday (10th August) marks my Third Anniversary of being a MyO member! its been a wild three years!! Thanks to everyone who's made it special (you know who you are!!) ^^


see ya in over a week folks. i'll be back on the 12th!!
