                <description><![CDATA[ Believe it or not!!<br /><br />Sorry I've not been online much; busy times a-happenin'!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I hope everyone's been well!!<br /><br />Bloody hell, my last journal entry was in October!! Well, since then a fair bit has happened, I've joined yet another black metal band on bass called "Zebadiah Crowe" (Found here: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.myspace.com/zebadiahcrowe">[link]</a>   ) I've also started up a death metal band with some local friends in the area, which should prove to be entertaining!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> I'll let you know about that when we don't have such rough, grim copies of our very few songs, hahaha! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Other than musical escapades, I've had my first bit of artwork published!! Woop woop! :3 It's an anthology of lots of short stories called Layer Zero; I did three illustrations for a poem at the end, and also drew up a sexy goat man for the pin-up section (easy cowboy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ) The book can be found on Amazon and in bookshops and things (but you have to order them in), but there really are some kick-ass artists and writers and a lot of different, unique styles! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> More info on Layer Zero here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.insomniapublications.com/layer-zero-volume-3choices/">[link]</a><br /><br />I've also been working on some concept art for a possible full-length graphic novel that I'd do all of the illustration for by myself; so fingers crossed that they go well! *screams with fear* XD<br /><br />Holy crap and other stuff! My last full-time work day was on Friday; so no more all weekdays!!! I just work Wednesday evenings now, so lots of time to work on stuff until I start my foundation course in September! I'll be going to the Thurrock Tech College nearby, and then do my BA in London the following year <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />And before I forget; I finally have my own little car!! NYEEEEAOM! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> It's a little black and silver Micra that's five months older than myself (hahaha!!) But in nice working condition; and bitchin' sound system! So heads up if you see it with some Cannibal Corpse/Marduk/Carcass or whatever blasting out the windows! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I've only been driving to friends houses' and practice and stuff, but I'll need it to get to college <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />That's all I think! Frostbitten hails from me and the little Dukie, and I hope everyone has been well! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

First one is a totally different band XD)<br /><br />Please pass it onto any metallers you know who may enjoy it!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /> It would mean so much!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Also, the lovely *<a class="u" href="http://silaz.deviantart.com/">SilaZ</a> made a stamp, which can be found here!! ^w^ <a href="http://silaz.deviantart.com/art/TheFuriousHorde-Stamp-73613481">[link]</a><br /><br />This Monday April 7th, we have the Battle of The Bands at The Drayman in Bexleyheath...it's our first round, and hopefully not last!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/horns.gif" width="16" height="16" alt=":horns:" title="Horns" /> Very excited and slightly nervous lol! x_x;;<br /><br />And for those of you who don't know yet, and use scary sites...the band's MySpace *scared wee* ;-; <br /><br /><a href="http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user">[link]</a><br /><br />--------------<br /><br />I also got tagged about fifty years ago by ~<a class="u" href="http://fatherstone.deviantart.com/">FatherStone</a> and =<a class="u" href="http://talkingofthetrees.deviantart.com/">TalkingOfTheTrees</a> !<br /><br />The rules:<br />1. You have to post the rules<br />2. Every person tagged has to write 10 things about themselves<br />3. You have to write them in your journal<br />4. After that, tag 5 more people<br />5. Go to that person's page and tell them about it<br /><br />1.) I can be a bit of a perfectionist at times; very harsh x_x Although in a way it makes me try harder, which is always good! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />2.) I love Magus (my guitar), Duke (my guinea pig), art and metal more than I could EVER love any stinky person!<br /><br />3.) Whereas most people have a brown patch for a birthmark, I have a patch of bubbly, reptilian skin on the lump of my right wrist lol! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br />4.) How many are we up to? Jeez...*running out of interesting things to say* My life's dream is to run away and live in an enchanted forest of anthropomorphic animals. (No, not the stupid whored-up anime ones that make out with each other, I mean the sweet ones like from Animal Crossing!)<br /><br />5.) I'm commonly mistaken to be male despite having hair down to my arsehole! Gender means nothing to me, all humans are equal scum no matter WHAT abomination lie between their filthy little legs! It frustrates me that people make such a big deal out of it!<br /><br />6.) I have a dodgey little toenail on my right foot.<br /><br />7.) I absolutely love dark, surreal, atmospheric stuff. But on the other hand, I secretly like really cartoony, colourful stuff too. I listened to mainly Nattefrost/Spyro the Dragon soundtracks today. Shhhh, don't tell anyone, I'll lose krieg-points <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />8.) I honestly don't fear -anything-. Except maybe losing my haaaands...D: Or fingers, or ARMS!! Oh my toast, that would SUCK!<br /><br />9.) Errr...*scratches neck* reheheheeeeally running out of stuff to say...someday, I'd like to work in the video-games industry. It's all I remember wanting to do, before anything...waaaay back when I got a Master System for my third birthday, and even before that when I watched my Dad play the Atari.<br /><br />10.) Shumanahoiiiii!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />I tag<br /><br />JESUS<br />SEPHIROTH<br />THE UNDERTAKER<br /><br />...and anyone who wants to...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br />Hope everyone is ok! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ON MOI LOIFE (quite a long story ensuing; but it's about Dukie the most awesomest metal piggy in the whole world, so read, you fuckers <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> First off, sorry I haven't been around too much; I have a growing list of journals/deviations to view, but my internet has been down. The the last few days I've been nursing my guinea piggy Duke <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/42857468@N00/1289927672/">[link]</a> back to health; he had a large cyst since about April which had steadily grown to the size of a golfball (I was told it was not harmful by a vet back then...>< it seemed to not cause him pain of any kind) and last week, it burst. <br />
<br />
Lots of pus, which I gently tried to ooze out each day, but after the second day it started to rot and Duke started the chew the hole bigger; until a large bloody/pus-filled gaping hole the size of a two pence piece started to show signs of infection.<br />
<br />
I took him to the vet the following day, and was told it wasn't a cyst; but a tumor. He said it would have to be removed in surgery, although there was a high risk due to the anesthetic, plus Duke is five and a half years old now...quite old for a piggy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I was told the surgery would be Â£200 (although it turned out to be much more) and I said definitely; even if there was a small chance. I -just- about managed the vet bill.<br />
<br />
I got a call from work the evening after his surgery; it was my mother calling. The vet had called her, saying it wasn't looking good...and that if I wanted to see him one last time, I had better get down there fast. I told my boss the situation and he was very understanding, I made my way quickly to the vet and was taken out back to find a -very- limp, glaze-eyed piggy. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
I was told he hadn't been very responsive in the slightest; and that he was pretty "zonked" from the meds. I walked over to him, all wrapped up in those blankies, and said in my usual 'talking-to-Dukie' voice; "Awww, hey there, bebe..." his blurry eyes immediately snapped to me, his head struggled to turn in my direction; my previous feeling of being punched in the stomach turned to butterflies, the vet assistant told me he hadn't moved or responded since he came out of surgery ^___^<br />
<br />
I was faced with two decisions; he could stay there overnight (which one, would cost even -more- which I didn't have, and no-one would be there to watch him) or we could take him home. NO CONTEST XD I left with him wrapped in a blankie, got home, put him in a nice clean cage with towels and water-bottles, and stayed with him most of the night.<br />
<br />
He steadily got more active; wiggling to get comfortable, eyes more alert; yesterday even more so, he was actually going to eat and drink by himself; even though he wasn't too successful, so I fed him through a syringe and gave him water by hand every few hours.<br />
<br />
Today...he's almost back to his old self!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> He finally started squeaking again today; after a few hours of hugging and stroking, he started to do the happy squeak which he always does when getting stroked. :3 Getting him to take his Baytril and Painkillers is an arduous task, but I have my ways <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> (Getting him excited with the food syringe, then discreetly switching over the syringe with the medicine in <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ) Cruel to be kind I guess ^_^;;<br />
<br />
It's looking damn good!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Just need to make sure he's kept nice and clean, well fed and hydrated, and takes his medicine; the 'drains' come out Tuesday, during his check-up. ALL HAIL GENERAL DUKIE. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <br />

Other stuff tuuuu :3<br />
<br />
Yaaaay!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Also, the awesome ~<a class="u" href="http://klownned.deviantart.com/">kLownned</a> drew a picture of Nekrocys and I for me; <a href="http://klownned.deviantart.com/art/GIFT-FOR-OVERLORDMORTIROTH-70504145">[link]</a><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Greetiiiiings! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br />
<br />
The gig last night went very well!! ^_^ The Fat Surfer was a nice meaty venue; so was able to hold lots of fancy-dressing people!! ^_^<br />
<br />
Seeing as it was the halloween special, Ruptured_Souls and I decided to become considerably more necro than usual (as if we need an excuse <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ) I really overdid the corpsepaint; but I may keep it, as it felt so much more fun and magical! XD I was definitely beaten in 'kriegness' though; Ruptured decided to go topless with blood and an inverted pentagram on his chest <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <br />
<br />
I also made an unexpected friend in an unexpected place; a 70 year old spiritualist in the women's bathroom in Morrisons, across from the venue XD I only popped in for some red bull and a wee-wee, when she started talking to me O__o; she asked odd questions and said strange things, such as telling me she thought I was ' posh' and a nice, pure girl, and asking other such things of an adult nature! x_x She them almost showed me her hernia, but luckily decided she couldn't be bothered XD I gave her 50p as she needed money to get home and it was the only change I had, left, and went into the disabled toilet instead! >_> I almost pulled the emergency rope to flush haha; now THAT would have been socially awkward! XD<br />
<br />
And would you believe it; same Mortiroth, same Magus, same finger; different gig. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> My finger burst open yet again!! The first time was at the Dartford gig back in August! <br />
<br />
I think I've also 'done in' my knee; I misinterpreted the height of the stage, and when I jumped off in New Rock boots...arghhh!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> No-one noticed though as externally I seemed to land in a really cool way; which I then hobbled over to my orange juice XD<br />
<br />
Magical Picture time! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
My finger (or lack thereof XD) : <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42857468@N00/1778125220/">[link]</a><br />

<br />
Besides gigs and things, work is going well also; I'm learning more each day! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Yesterday was absolutely crazy with an unrelenting onslaught of customers; Pro Evo 08 was out, so you can imagine <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Damn sports games!!<br />
<br />
My driving is going well also! I was introduced to 'left turns' today; and my confidence received a nice boost when my instructor told me that I was one of the fastest learning students he had taught <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> It took me two tries at first to get the hang of it; the second time I slightly went up the kerb haha, but third time's a charm! ^_^ My scroogey nature wants me to pay for as few lessons as possible! XD<br />
<br />
As for art, I'm still working on a comic in the works which is coming along slowly buy surely; and a few sculpture ideas that need some more articulate planning; and I need to start some new realistic drawings also <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
That's about all in Mortiroth-Land, I hope everyone's doing well! ^_^<br />
<br />

<br />
Errr...yeah. So, woo! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I gots the job in Game!! My first day was Tuesday, my second was today <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I'm slowly learning what to do and where everything is; without making -too- many mistakes...one guy I forgot to put the CD in the case, which holy macaroni, how lame can I be!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Luckily he was a good man, and accepted my apology when he came back XD It's those damn tills...they're scary O__O<br />
<br />
And my driving lesson went nicely too!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> The first hour was the instructor explaining what to do, and the second hour was me driving down straight roads dodging the occasional parked car...I might even learn to turn next lesson (on Saturday), yeehawwww!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> He said he was pleased that I was a quick-learner, I'm aiming to be able to drive by the end of this year if not slightly later <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
And HOLY POOOOOOPWIIIIINGS!!! SONIC the HEDGEHOG (Yes!! That one!) has been announced for Super Smash Brothers Brawl!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Prepare yourselves for the ultimate brutality!!! I'll use your skin to make a Wii-cosy!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> (And I thought I couldn't be anymore excited about Snake being in it!) One character left I think, maybe it'll be Megaman...who knows!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Besides doing big-kid stuff like work and driving, I've also been planning a few comics <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> You remember Koadrill, righty? ^_^ <a href="http://overlordmortiroth.deviantart.com/art/quot-What-Happened-quot-65170030">[link]</a> He's (yeah, finally decided he's a may-ul <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ) part of a 'world' I'm still developing from my mind; it's a bit like me really, nonsensical, violent, zany, and just plain retarded at times! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> So look out for those in the future, hopefully I'll get around to storyboarding and shiz soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
That's it really! Hope everyone's doing well! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />

<br />
Today has been one of the most magicalistful ever! I went with my mother in her car to pick up my art and photography work as it was an Open Day; and when it ended at 2pm we started carrying it all down to the car ^_^ (which took a good few trips!) It was awesome before hand, seeing everyone's reaction and hearing their responses as they were walking past the dark section where my stuff was composed! One man was talking to his wife about it, who was saying that is was scary, and my mum overheard and said "Rachael here did that! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> *points to me fiddling with hands*" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> The man then said to me, "Never stop what you're doing...you see some art and it's nice, but you walk away and forget it...this is ART...and it's left its impression on me here today!" It really did surprise me in a nice way! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
One thing that is both awesome -and- very slightly annoying though, my final A-Level piece "Panopticon" (the four prison-like rooms in a tower structure) was part of the South Essex Art Exhibition in Basildon; which I was really happy and proud about!! ^__^ But...my teacher didn't even tell me until today!! >_< "Oh, I meant to tell you but I was busy and things came up!" It would have taken 4 freaking minutes, and as a result I didn't even see my own work exhibited!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> GAY!! Also a few people wanted to buy it, but as I wasn't told, I wasn't given a chance to see how much or say yes etc! But I -was- given a couple of booklets from the event, with my name in! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> And as I was putting "Progeny" in the car, a lady ran up to me and recognizing the piece asked if I was Rachael Gater; I told her she was correct and she introduced herself as a governor, and she thanked me for letting my piece be in the exhibition!! It was lucky that she saw us! ^_^ And really kind of her; I didn't think anyone liked my artwork around here but me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
I also booked my driving lessons today; 13 to be exact! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (Not because it's my lucky number, but because you get a discount haha XD) with the magical AA! My first lesson is next Friday...GRRRRYAAAY!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Vroooomie-vrooooooomsie <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/chainsaw.gif" width="49" height="20" alt=":chainsaw:" title="Chainsaw" /><br />
<br />
And in the evening!! I got a call back from Game; I have a group interview on Monday!! Just when I thought no-one wanted to hire me!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> This will put an end to my hobo days; wish me luck!! I really need a job! ;-;<br />
<br />
Yesterday was...absolutely amazing also <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wow.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":wow:" title="Wow!" /> A load of us went to see Dimmu Borgir at The Forum in Kentish Town, and well...WOW! I saw them at Wacken, but it just wasn't the same as yesterday!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I could actually SEE them!! My throat is seriously sore from singing along to pretty much every song except two new ones which I don't know the words too, and "Sorgens Kammer" XD Great song; but I don't have a clue about the lyrics!! Fun times!<br />
<br />
But!! How is everyone else going too? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I know it's MY journal, but I still feel bad when I natter on about myself; I feel like a selfish, ego-inflated jerk! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Guess I'm just proud stuff is going somewhere!! ^_^ Tell me how you're doing, people!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone! How goes all? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
I'll start off with something nice; here's the aftermath of my guitar Magus from our last gig <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I explained last journal about my finger splitting open in the middle of our set;<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42857468@N00/1307574676/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Not too much has been happening lately; still job-hunting and needing to sort out driving lessons, vroooom!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Hopefully I'll be hired soon so I can start paying for the lessons.<br />
<br />
The last couple of weekends really have been a riot! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Before the one we just had was our bassist's son's 18th birthday; very happy times! XD There was much dancing and confusion; our keyboardist Josiah (who still has his leg in a cast) was still dancing despite being a raspberry-ripple, and I had to watch everyone else as I didn't know some of the moves! >_>;  There was also a large running track outside which we raced around, and wrote expletives in the sand pit! (Oh my!) XD Afterwards we went down the road to a metal-based pub and found a trolley to push Josiah in on the way there! Many of the people who came to our gig on the 27th were there!! There was much rejoicing!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I had a black-current; I'm so tough!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t!:" title="w00t!" /> (I like my juice black...like my metal! *snortgiggle* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> )<br />
<br />
The last few practices have been going nicely also; still lots of messing around hehe, but we've started writing new material so hopefully that'll be cool shizzy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
<br />
I've almost finished a few pieces also; mainly drawings and sculptures, although I'll get around to painting soon also. I really need to keep improving, I have a lot to learn in all fields! This Saturday I went running/climbing around the woods with some friends and ran around on all fours in the nearby field picking up grass lumps with my mouth; yay for grazing! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> If it were not for my feral-like frolicking I'd probably have more done by now! Grarrg! >_O<br />
<br />
Arghhh, and bloody hell; I've said this before and will say it again; ELITISTS, KISS MY CORPSE-PAINTED BUM BUM! All this "You're not 'true', you don't take metal seriously, etc" That's absolutely stupid; yes, I love metal, but I also love HUMOR. Immortal for example, yes, are awesome and one of my favorite bands; but you can't deny that they ARE funny! I bet they had so much fun recording those videos, and that's what's most important! I wear corpse-paint because it represents things that are important and deep to me, sure! But honestly, the -main- reason? It's because it's FUN! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Then there's the opposite; "Waaah, stop wearing that silly corpse-paint, everyone in metal does it!" I don't give a damn who wears it and who doesn't! -I- like to wear it when playing gigs, so -I- will! I couldn't care less if I was the only one or if the whole world's population did it! It's something I find fun, so I'll do it!! <br />
<br />
Angry poopings aside, as promised, here's a poem written by my friend David that I met on the bus from Wacken this year! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (Thanks so much man!!! ^__^ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/horns.gif" width="16" height="16" alt=":horns:" title="Horns" /> )<br />

"Overlord Mortiroth" by David John 'Keats' Whelan<br />
She dwells in a place most ancient,<br />
Conceiving her deviant art.<br />
Befouling all those who dare to oppose<br />
Her unparagoned world apart.<br />
<br />
With Duke her loyal minion,<br />
Guinea-pig of infernal doom,<br />
Through dolor they ride by each other's side<br />
Profeasting contagion's exhume<br />
<br />
Those who despise her aura,<br />
They laugh as they can't comprehend,<br />
But they cower in fear when they know that she's near<br />
Knowing that she's not a trend.<br />

Black metal is her lifestyle,<br />
She's derived from what other... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Welly-woos, then!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
I've been kind of busy lately; I had the Metal Prom last Saturday, then another gig Monday, then messing around, watching cheesy horror films/drawing/CV shiz! <br />
<br />
The gigs went very well; we sold a box and a half of our new album CD's on Saturday!!! Yaaaaay! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (If you'd like one, they're Â£5! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Ask me or email the Horde MySpace if you want one, or for Â£8 you get a CD -and- one of the shirts ^_^ I'm not on the shirt though as they were made before I joined ;-; Wah! XD)<br />
The Monday gig was...crazy!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> My middle finger on my right hand started to bleed quite badly and I didn't even notice throughout our whole set; until at the end I gave someone a thumbs up! XD There were a lot more metal-head people at Dartford and I really "necroed" my corpsepaint up for that gig; really got me going!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /> <br />
<br />
Haha, and I took some cool photos when I got home also...I feel bad for always having to leave Duke at home XD I do play special songs for him sometimes at home though :3 Mostly from Zelda games XD<br />

AND!!! Two magical awesome people have made artwork out of my recent ID lately!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> One glorious drawing, and one glorious photo manipulation!!<br />

<br />
Thank you so much you guys!! I can't thank you enough, they're both so awesome!! ^_^ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/horns.gif" width="16" height="16" alt=":horns:" title="Horns" /> <br />
<br />
Oh!! And fifty years ago I was tagged by a few people to post 8 weird things about myself!! By =<a class="u" href="http://0042.deviantart.com/">0042</a> and ~<a class="u" href="http://kamikaze-chihuahua.deviantart.com/">kamikaze-chihuahua</a> !! Here goes!<br />
<br />
-My hair is so long now that I have to wrap it around my neck twice when I go to the toilet XD<br />
<br />
-I can be extremely paranoid; mainly about my wrists, sight and hearing. I'm -4.00 and -3.50 in my eyes, and have had problems with my ears since I was young x_x About the wrists; I'm just scared of getting RSI from all the guitar I play <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
-I like texturrrrres <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> And have an odd habit of...collecting? Other people's junk is my treasure XD I have a large matchbox of little things that have caught my fancy; sequins, shiny bits of paper, string, rusty-looking buttons, nails etc...and a room full of random things that I find/buy from old antique shops XD<br />
<br />
-My DREAM JOB would be to work in special effects...puppets, wounds etc for horror films and stuff! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
-I'm abnormally optimistic <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <br />
<br />
-I watched this episode when I was about 2 or 3 of Pingu when he dreams a giant walrus tries to eat him...I SWEAR that motherfucker has caused me serious psychological damage, I was afraid to go upstairs on my own for a couple of years! Oh well...I've recovered now. Oh, apologies, it would appear I have just URINATED myself from the memories. (Recently my mum bought a video full of Pingu recorded from TV back in 1992 or something, and it's on there!! Lucky! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I took it over to a friends house and four of us were watching it lol, I got...such bad goosebumps when that episode came on!) THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BRITAIN BUYS FOREIGN THINGS! THOSE SICK, SADISTI... ]]></description>

<br />
~<a class="u" href="http://purplelining.deviantart.com/">purplelining</a> was kind enough to write an article about my art!! ^__^ Wow hehe, an ARTicle!! Hahaha, I crack myself up!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <a href="http://news.deviantart.com/article/32422/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Thank you so much again to Purplelining!! ^w^ And all you crazy awesome mofos!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/horns.gif" width="16" height="16" alt=":horns:" title="Horns" /> Take care, more stuff coming soon!! <br />
<br />
(And again, The Furious Horde's new album "World Aghast" comes out 25th!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /> )<br />
<br />
-----<br />
Le not edit:<br />
<br />
<br />
I return!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (Well, I actually came back yesterday, but I was bloody tired) The water of my bath turned grey lol; that's what just under a week of not washing/head-banging/living in a tent in a dusty, boggy field does to you!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
It was a very awesome time; with many funny times to contribute!!! XD Lots of friends were made, many of them drunk, stoned or both. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I'll never forget the weird looks people gave me for telling them I didn't drink OR smoke when offered, and apparently people liked my accent as it was like "When they learnt English at school" XD<br />
<br />
Now the BANDS!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Wow...it was definitely an experience I'll never forget; the highlights were Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Cannibal Corpse and Cthonic, although many others were GREAT!! Turisas and Therion, for example!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <br />
<br />
For the Cannibal Corpse set I was right at the front at the barrier!! I'm pretty sure that's responsible for most bruises around my ribs lol, very squishy! XD <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_wWwRZ8gfg">[link]</a> <- That's a link to the gig; I can be seen at 01:19 at the bottom right next to the guy with his head down to my right, grinning like a crazy bastard and then headbanging XD Or, the easier alternative screenshot thing: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42857468@N00/">[link]</a> (Some photos from the Horde photoshoot are on there too now!)<br />
<br />
So much more to say about it, but if I went into detail about funny conversations, airport shenanigans and other things, this journal would be way too long XD If the line-up next year is good, I'll definitely go again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
I need to start looking for a job soon and learning to drive...VROOOOM!! Super cool big kid thing to do!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I get to play my own music too whilst driving, yippeeee!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I can just imagining me zipping about to The Berzerker haha XD<br />
<br />
I hope all is going well for everyone, I've 95% finished a painting (need to work on a frame for impact), so I'll have more stuff on soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Oh!! Before I forget again, 25th of August The Furious Horde are playing at the Metal Prom in East Tilbury, which is when we'll also be launching our new album 'World Aghast'!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> It's going to be coooool shiz, some of the tracks are up on the MySpace if you're interested <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=18589548&MyToken=2e79bbbb-cc56-43a6-9d2e-68d69ab3477c">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Woooo, journal entry!! *zooooom!* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I hope all is going well for people!! (The title was made from taking three words after I wrote this magical journal! Wheeee!)<br />
<br />
Today I went to Corringham near the studio for a photoshoot, (the 'World Aghast' album is being launched on the 25th of August at The Metal Prom if anyone's interested!) we had the shoot at these cool ruins in the woods, I'll be sure to post links and things once they're up!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> <br />
<br />
Lots of silly fun was had, such as Josiah accidentally flashing an old man walking his dog...he wasn't wearing -anything- under his PVC robe-skirt thingy, you see <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Scary shizaroo! Two really little kids saw us walking on the footpath...I've never seen anything turn and run so fast XD<br />
<br />
Hahaha!! Whoa, and coming home!! Matt and I were speaking in the car about Silent Hill 2 and two bands called "Axis of Perdition" and "Stilhet", when he shouted; "MANNEQUIN!" I turned around and saw it; it was quite late and getting dark so not many people were around; it was just...standing there...in the rain, at the back of Marks and Spencers <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
Matt: *pulls up in car* Crap!! Double yellow line... but we need to get it!<br />
Me: *eyes and grin insanely wide in typical Rachael fashion* We HAVE to!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
Matt: I have to stay here!! The car!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
Me: I'M ON IT!! *leaps out of car, runs to the mannequin in huge new rock boots, hair billowing behind*<br />
Girls: Noooooo!! We were going to steal that!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
Me: Errr...sorry!! Art project! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> *picks it up and holds it over head triumphantly, running back to the car* <br />
<br />
And that's how we met Mr Mannequin!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (Errr...or Mrs, it's obviously a laydee <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ) It's...a proper dressmaker's mannequin too O__O It's got the stand, and is in fine shape!! I've always wanted one!! Funnily enough, I bought two foam heads a week ago, with a little work they'd fit just fine <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Stage prop, anyone?? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On a side note, `<a class="u" href="http://radicalpuppy4.deviantart.com/">RadicalPuppy4</a> came over a few days ago, and we bought many sugary treaties. Video-footage of our sugar-induced escapades can be viewed here: <br />
<br />
Me, drinking tea. *shrug* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX_eBe6RwYU&mode=related&search=">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Us, eating...GINGER biscuits XD : <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-lU5U-RIQ4">[link]</a><br />
<br />
(A note, in those videos, we're putting those voices on. Just to clarify, we don't always speak like old ladies <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> )<br />
<br />
Errr...oh!! On Wednesday, the 1st of August, I'll be away in Germany for ze WACKEN FESTIVAAAAL!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I'll be back on the 6th, severely stinking and worn out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /><br />
<br />
Take care, everyone!! ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's nearly summer!! Yay for having to coat one's self in stinky sun cream and getting abnormally warm! XD<br />
<br />
Arghhh, it was my friend Ben's 18th party the other week, and most of us stayed over in the tent outside; lots of fun! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> In the morning we all went into town to get some breakfast; as we were deciding where to eat, I noticed a guy handing out leaflets. No-one was taking them, and he looked really disappointed...I said to the group, (there were about 7 of us) "Hey...let's go and take a leaflet. I feel kind of bad." Ben said he didn't think it was a good idea, but I told him off for disobeying my orders and we went over.<br />
<br />
As we approached, I felt a sudden presence of shitty atmosphere; they were Jesus leaflets. Shit.<br />
<br />
I smiled politely anyhow and said, "May I have a leaflet please?"<br />
The guy replied, "These aren't just leaflets!...is that cross upside down intentionally?" (Referring to my necklace)<br />
I replied matter-of-factly but not rudely; "Indeed it is. It represents my disliking for dogmatic systems in general."<br />
Thus, he started talking. Talking, TALKING!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> A lot of supporting 'evidence' he gave was questionable, at most oppurtunities I interjected and gave my view; I mean it's only fair. When my Jehova Witnesses used to come frequently, I looked forward to exchanging philosophical views, despite us obviously having very different standing points. He seemed to hold the view that scientific knowledge was ambiguous; that a scientific conclusion isn't always correct. And yet, he took extracts from the Bible to be literal truth.<br />
<br />
At one point upon being asked, I replied "I dismiss the notion that there may be a God of classical theism; but I'm not completely opposed to the view that there may be an objective, external force." He looked at me for a few seconds, turned to Ben and Kat, and continued "Err...so Moses..." Grrr -_-<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
In le other news!! I have one more Philosophy exam left on Thursday...I had two last Wednesday which went very well, I just have to stay focused! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
Speaking of getting distracted from studies! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I went to a London Death Metal Fest in Camden at the Underworld yesterday, 2 in the afternoon to about 11 at night, wooooo!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /> <br />
<br />
It was Matt's (Ruptured Souls) birthday, and as we first entered the venue we stayed by the bar in the hall looking to buy some CDs. My friend Jess pointed out Gian (ex-guitarist of Cradle of Filth) by the bar (The band he is currently working with, 'Screamin' Daemon' were playing later on).<br />
<br />
We went over and introduced ourselves, I briefly went into how I loved his work and whatever, then we explained that it was our friend's birthday (he was over at the CDs.) Upon hearing this, Gian said "Ah!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />" went over to Matt, slapped him on the back merrily and bought him a beer! What an awesome guy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
The bands themselves were very good, lots of blast beats! In all honesty I don't remember many of the the bands names lol! They're on my flyer but that's in the dark recesses of my trouser pockets somewhere x_x Screamin' Daemon and Gorerotted were absolutely kick-ass; people were flying!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> And my neck is freakin' sore; it's severely under-exercised from the lack of gig, and the fact that it was used all day <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
For anyone who's interested, DIMMU BORGIR are playing at The Forum in September; my ticket arrived today, and it's going to be sweet!! <br />
<br />
No more gigs, playing OR watching, until August...;-; WACKEN!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> The time for hobo-ness abroad and intense gigification is NIGH, mofos!! <br />
<br />
The Furious Horde don't have any gigs lined up until August too; nothing is 100% confirmed yet, but on the 9th we're playing at a place called "The Standard" and some other day in August we're playing at a Metal Prom, I'll gi... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My little guinea piggy Genki died a few hours ago...he's been very ill the last couple of days, but the vet yesterday just didn't know what was wrong...she told me to keep him warm and hydrated and fed, and to return Friday to check up on him...<br />
<br />
Today I went into the High Street to buy a syringe to hand-feed him, he just wouldn't eat or drink on his own...I fed him water with a bottle, but couldn't get him to eat...I tried to make a carrot paste and fed him some of the juice, but it didn't really do anything <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
An hour later...his health declined so quickly...he was wheezing and couldn't move, so I called the vet in a panic and they told me to get right over. I took him in a plastic tub made up like a cage with hay and newspaper as I wanted them to look after him overnight, as I didn't know what was the best thing to do...I stroked and kissed him goodbye, told him I loved him and left. <br />
<br />
Literally half a minute later when I was down the road, the vet called my mobile and said there was nothing they could do...he was on his last breaths, and would I like her to put him down...I said to please wait and ran back as fast as I could, but I missed him by a few seconds...;-;<br />
<br />
I really, really have loved looking after Genki all these years and his two brothers Oscar and Duke; I hope I've given them a nice enough life...Genki is now with Oscar, and I have to look after Duke the best I can now that he's alone...Genki lived a good piggy life; 5 years. 4 of them were with me, and I've loved every moment.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much to everyone who's helped me through this the last couple of days; Matt, Ben, Jon, Max, Kat, Joe, Mum and Ally...not forgetting the vet ladies who really did try to help, and many others...<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hails, all! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Hope all of you are doing well, deadlines for coursework and also exams are coming up incredibly soon; blast!!<br />
<br />
Not much else been going on really besides a panic to get coursework done; although this weekend, not much of that was done... XD<br />
<br />
Friday evening the moment I got home from school it was a mad dash to grab my guitar stuff and stage gear for a gig later on in the evening, as I had to meet up with the other Horde members and get to the Hermit (the venue) for the soundcheck, as well as getting the bugger-load of equipment out of the cars and into the place x_x We made necro-cakes before hand (black food colouring with white icing! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /> ) and they went...somewhat green in the oven XD Tasty nonetheless.<br />
<br />
The gig itself went tremendously well!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Best we've played in a while, and the audience were chock full of energy, much to our amusement! ^__^ We finished the set off with "Darkness Rises"; for which most of the song Josiah humped his keyboard from the side, whilst not missing a single note! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Multi-tasking!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /><br />
<br />
Saturday: Laura, Rob, Matt and I slept over Jess' house also right after, as in the morning we all had to go to the station anyway; Matt, Josiah and I went to an all dayer death-metal fest, featuring Anaal Nathrakh! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> THE VIOLENCE! The beautiful, unrelenting violence!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> (A side-note!! They were recording the gig for Channel 4, so that may be something to look out for!!) Got kicked in the head a few times by chunky crowd-surfers, all good! As if we didn't stink enough, we went to a metal bar afterwards and despite feeling intense aching and throat-stingy from the gig moments before, we couldn't help but sing along and headbang to some Cannibal Corpse, Tormentor and others ^_^;<br />
<br />
3am: we made our way to Josiah's uni room type place on foot, occasionally running 'Immortal-style' through the quiet, litterless streets. <br />
<br />
Sunday: we made our way to the train station and home XD I had taken out my lenses during the night and so most of the day was a blur of colour and disorientating shapes; I tried to keep them in overnight, but awoke with my face covered with tears and discharge from the little bastards, so clawed them out and went back to sleep. XD<br />
<br />
It's now Sunday evening, I -still- haven't done any coursework for this weekend, I -still- stink after wearing these clothes for little less than a week, wearing them over the weekend for over 48 hours straight, and not showering -despite- playing a gig AND attending a gig...I'm going to wrap this up! XD<br />
<br />
Hope everyone had a nice weekend and is doing well; I'll have some more submissions soon, I hope to do some more paintings when I get the chance (Although I won't forget about the sculptures!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ) I must go and shed this layer of filth!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I'll be slowing down on the submissions lately for a while, as I'm soon starting new projects at school which will require a lot of time...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I do, however, have a few more sculptures to submit, which I'll wait a few days inbetween for <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Hope all is well for everyone, I'm off to find a snackaroo! (Or a lost pedestrian! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t!:" title="w00t!" /> )<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Woooo!! Hello, everyone! ^__^ Just got back from a crazy meal with RadicalPuppy4, Karl, Tim and Sophie <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Much immature humour and tomfoolery!!<br />
<br />
Damn, it's been really busy lately...and panicky! These last couple of weeks have been one giant ball of crazy-shizzy, three gigs and loads of coursework!! But today was the last day of school until January! Eeeeee!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Guitar-playing spreeeee!!<br />
<br />
I went to DragonForce on Thursday, DAYUM! XD I had no idea they were that freaking good live; I was worried that the feeling of nostalgia would not be present at the gig (They make me think of my childhood on the Master System, lol!) But it was!! Herman Li...holy crud, definately one of my guitar heroes! The whole presentation of the performance was incredibly done!<br />
<br />
Saturday I went to see The Berzerker with Matt and Josiah...VIOLENCE ENSUES! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> Man, I don't think I've been to a gig that crazy since Cannibal Corpse in April!! Usually in mosh-pits you have the 'circles' where people slam into each other and generally act in as more violent nature than the rest; here, the whole freaking BUILDING was a circle!! More fun for us!! A_A Poor Matt got a black eye! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Some drunk guy jumped off the stage what, four times?! Everyone just moved; belly-flop on a wooden floor, yowzer! XD But the first time his foot caught Matt's eye! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Josiah had a bleeding nose, and I got off VERY lucky with a few bruises! XD<br />
<br />
Yesterday I went to see Cradle of Filth for the third time ever...and whilst I still enjoyed it, aww man...we went with our faces adorned in corpsepaint (Play more old school, mofos!! >= C ) it just...I don't know...I mean, last December when I saw them; bloody hell! For those of you who read my livejournal back then, you know how excellent it was!! The atmosphere; the music; the stageshow; the crowds!! Best gig I've ever attended! But, with the new release of Thornography and the leaving of a few members...*shrugs* The crowd was probably...60% little emo girls. Little SCREAMING emo girls. Little screaming emo girls, jumping up and down, with their hands raised in the air the WHOLE time. There was minimal headbanging and the usual metal gig shiz; it wasn't just *shoved now and then* it was, *crushed, due to everyone trying to get to the stage* all the time!! The HELL?! They did play a few of their old songs; "Her Ghost in The Fog", "Cthulu Dawn" (YEAHHH!!!) "From the Cradle to Enslave" etc, but even then they sounded different and unrecognizable because of the rotation of members...the whole pit was moving when they played something from their new album, but their older stuff, at times it felt like it was only Matt, I and a few others...I'm going to miss CoF gigs so much, I can't believe how much they've changed in just a year...holy crud, that gig last year...words can't describe how bloody magical that was for me, all the friends we made, everyone having fun and the music...<br />
<br />
That's about it really, sorry for the longness! XD I've had quite a fair bit of stuff from my coursework art-wise; so I should hopefully submit a little more, but I'll wait a few days inbetween so as not to be irritating! XD I sure hope that everyone is doing well, and happy with the festive season!! ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
In other news!! I'll be playing my first -ever- live gig at The Hermit, Brentwood on 24th November (This Friday) with The Furious Horde as guitarist! (<a href="http://www.thefurioushorde.co.uk/front1.htm">[link]</a>) <- Woooo! My freaky face! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
I really hope to see lots of familiar faces there, I know I've already bullied a fair amount of friends to go hehe! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> That's it for now really!

                <description><![CDATA[ Backaroo! ^_^<br />
<br />
Spain was good! We had to drive all the way there (all the way through France -and- Spain...it took over 24 hours, yowzer >_&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> but once I got there, all was good! I saw none of my old friends there unfortunately...;-; but I did return to Vera to see my old school, hasn't changed a bit! ^_^ <br />
<br />
I mostly went exploring in the mountains where we were staying (Desert Springs) and I found 4 skulls! One with horns! I've always wanted skulls, and to find one with the horns intact and everything was great! I also returned to the abandoned house deep in the mountains that I found over three years ago, hasn't changed either...it's one of my favourite places ever, it's built into the back of the mountain and so inside there is a door leading to two huge rooms built into the mountain itself! Very dark, but very atmospheric! I had to use this little torch feature on my father's phone which he VERY kindly let me borrow ^^ There were lots of little tiny rooms leading off too, like store rooms; there were a couple of rotten baskets, but it's also where I found the horned-skull half buried in the dust!<br />
<br />
Saturday was Emperor; words can not describe my joy!! I went with Matt, Jess and Josiah quite early, and we went to this vegan fair thing that had FREE FOOD! A_A I had never tried vegan food in my life, and it was pretty nice!!<br />
<br />
Holy macaroni, how can I describe the gig...I was so happy that my insides felt like they were made of sugar! Emperor are one of my -favourite- all time bands, and to see them live was an honour...they played almost all of my favourites too! "Curse All You Men", "In The Wordless Chamber" (Those beautiful horns!) and freakin' "I Am The Black Wizards"!! It's been the only gig where my voice has almost conked out; I can sing my deep metal vocals all day as I'm pretty used to it, but the higher ones I am not too used to lol! I'm going to stop there, as I could go on about how great it was! ;-; No wait! In the queue for the cloak room (I entered my trenchcoat in there, usually I can handle it but I went nuts at this gig!) and these two men in the line were so damn funny! "You are now 8 minutes from the cloakroom." The voices were just excellent! Josiah and I sang Spongebob in the queue to pass the time and a load of huge bearded metallers joined in! Excellent! X'D<br />
<br />
Today I went to the Anime Convention in London with `<a class="u" href="http://radicalpuppy4.deviantart.com/">RadicalPuppy4</a> , Matt and Jess, it was really fun too! Lots of cosplayers, I wished I had cosplayed!! Maybe next time when I have time to make a costume, hehe x_x I bought a Naruto headband (The sound village one) a tortured souls figure (Those things are true artistic BEAUTY!) And some -very- sugary sweeties! Which for me equals craziness, as I have a tendency to react incredibly to sweets! Hyperactive-goodness! Lots of people gave me free hugs too, and I have my spiked arm-band on so it was pretty hard a lot of the time! XD<br />
<br />
Looking forward to getting back to school tomorrow after such a long and great week, I have missed the art room! I think that's all, sorry for such a long entry and hope you are all doing well! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Ah! As a side-note, please let me know if you are going to the following gigs as I'll be there!!<br />
<br />
DragonForce = Thursday 14th December, London Astoria<br />
Cradle of Filth = Tuesday 19th December, London Astoria<br />
Unholy Alliance = Monday 20th November, Carling Academy Brixton<br />
<br />
I -think- that's all, I'll post more if I remember any/any more come up ^_^ Oh yeah! I'm also going to make a photobucket account to put all sorts of non-artistic photos on, I'll put a link up when I have created it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
Just letting you know that I will be in Spain from tomorrow to next Saturday...but  I will still probably be away until about Monday, as I'll be seeing Emperor on the Saturday and going to the anime convention with Matt on Sunday. It'll be fun, but I'll still miss you all! You're all such great friends, and so kind! ^_^ Thanks all of you for the support and everything in my art and photography work!<br />
<br />
Finally hehe! The band photos are all finished and submitted; not that I didn't like them, as I love them! But I sure did miss submitting my good ol' gore paintings and shiz! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> Expect lots more...>= D<br />
<br />
I think that's all for now, take care everyone! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT: Forgot to mention!! My friend `<a class="u" href="http://radicalpuppy4.deviantart.com/">RadicalPuppy4</a> and I were in the art room after school getting some more work done today...and, well...here's a rather humorous video that I filmed using his phone...he made an odd glue and brown paint mixture and threw it all around the freakin' room! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Enjoy!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Greetings all,<br />
<br />
First off, I must apologize deeply for such a large submission of all these band photos...I hope to get my own site, as that<br />
way I could showcase all of my works easily, as I hate to feel that I'm pestering you all by submitting so much! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I'm<br />
still looking for a decent deal online in order to set up my own site. (If it is successful, be prepared to be bombarded<br />
with HTML requests, Ben <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> )<br />
<br />
Paintings, drawings, non-journalism photographs, sculptures and even maybe a few short films are on their way! I hope to <br />
start doing my claymation soon too; I know I said this at the beginning of the year, but due to my dad's ancient camcorder<br />
dying on me I could not persue this interest. Until now...<br />
<br />
Thank you all so much for bearing with me and being patient, just letting you know that I have in no way neglected my other<br />
artistic hobbies lol! I'm just going to wait a little while after submitting these gig photos, that's all. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Hope you all are doing well! ^_^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Graaaagh! I return! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> (Sorry for the title; I always struggle to think up something decent, so just give up and put what comes to mind XD)<br />
<br />
My new computer finally arrived, and I managed to get the internet working on it, finally. I hope you're all doing well and everything! ^_^<br />
<br />
I've been kind of busy this summer holiday; besides guitar practice, art and making stuff, messing around being stupid with friends etc, I've been working on my Photography project for my A-level course when I go back to school in a few days...I have a few more photos from July to upload (Sorry! ^_^') And...hopefully, if all goes to plan, a whole new special series by the end of this year...details for now, however, remain a secret <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I may reveal more in a short while!<br />
<br />
I'm actually looking forward to school hehe; I miss the darkroom, the insane lunchtimes with my friends, the crazy motivation and dedication to my work, the learning shiz...;-; The only problem about going back is; the masses of people, and fatigue. The early mornings and not-being-able-to-sleep-nights are a baaad combo, and combined with all the gigs I'm going to in the next few months, I'm going to be absolutely zombified! I remember the next day at school after the Cannibal Corpse gig in April...yowzer. I had a skull full of maggots by morning registration. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> *crowd throw rubbish at her and also someone throws a cat* Alright, alright, I'm not funny!<br />
<br />
Anyways, this Thursday I'm off to Colchester to see 1349, Enslaved and Zyklon, Satyricon in a couple of weeks and Emperor in October. (Re-union gig!! Anyone near London who wants to go, please let me know! That would be awesome!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />)<br />
<br />
Oh!! As promised, here is the link to "The Furious Horde" website! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />

<br />
And their MySpace: <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=18589548">[link]</a><br />
<br />
And also! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Ruptured_Souls, (<a href="http://ruptured_souls.deviantart.com">[link]</a>) guitarist and vocalist of The Furious Horde, has joined Deviant Art! Please give him some nice black metal hugs, hehe ^-^<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is happy and shiny, please tell me how you are! ^_^ It's good to be able to see you all again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whew, apologies for the lack of creative shiz! Last week of schooltomorrow is Sports Day (not for our year though, Im just going in to get some work done) Wednesday Im going to Thorpe Park as a school trip (crap, Im gonna fry! Damn my weak complexion!) Thursday is a half day and Friday I have band practice! Come on summer holidays!! ^_^b<br />
<br />
Last Saturday (8th July) was my 17th birthday! Wheeee! I went to a Metal Fest in Ipswich with my friends Jess, Jon, Simon and Matt (whose band The Furious Horde was playing there; wonderful performance! Check them out for kick-ass black metal, damn it!) And other bands such as Korvus and Bordel were there, too! Matt even sang happy birthday to me whilst on stage in his metal voice, lol! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> A couple of people at the bar joined in, also <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I should have some photos uploaded tomorrow, but Ill only upload one a day because I always feel like Im pestering if I upload loads in one go! XD<br />
<br />
Last Monday was band practice again, so as usual we flocked to Riks house. We improved on a lot of previous songs which was great! However, after lunch we went down to Riks little shed-house thing at the bottom of his garden to help him clear it out, we were planning to sound-proof it so that we could have practice when his parents were in alsoand we found a snake! It was only a tiny baby one, but we caught it and put it in a big wine glass to examine it furtherlol, it led to Rik calling the RSPCA and them coming over and it being a grass snake after all in the end, hehe! Damn it!<br />
<br />
Friday was slightly odd...in the evening I went down to the fields near the forest with a couple of friends where a load of people just usually hang around, chat, eat, smoke shiz etc (I just go for the occasional philosophical chat with a couple of stoners,  I don't smoke anything myself and never have, never will!) but we had to retreat because some silly people set a load of fires in the next field and a big shiny fire engine came...on the way home my friend materialized from no-where and gave me a traffic cone, so I have a freakin' huge orange cone thingy next to my guitar...for the moment I'm just using it to shout at people like a megaphone haha! It all started a couple of summers ago; I was incoherently rambling to a couple of friends whilst walking to a gig that our friend's little brother was playing at, and revealed that my secret alter egos consisted of me putting a traffic cone on my head on Tuesdays, and dancing in front of traffic...the other was 'The Rainbow Phantom' because we found a broken rainbow umbrella on the same day, and we ripped off the fabric and danced around with it over our heads...*sighs and shakes head* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
Saturday was a sit-in-the-dark-and-watch-horror-films day; a couple of friends came over and we went nuts watching Hellraiser 4, 5 and Audition! Sunday I went to a fair with my dad, his girlfriend and my brother; t'was very good!<br />
<br />
Thats all really, but my new ESP Ax-50 and amp should be arriving Thursday!! Arghhh, so excited it hurts! >_O My amp is 100 watts, so I should be blasting a few walls down and annoying a few neighbours! Yaaay! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> I hope youre all doing well and everything! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ (Ahhhh, irrelevant titles! Can't you just tell it's summer?) Whew, it sure has been a long time since I last updated my journal! I hope that youre all doing well and everything! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Well, one more exam leftPhilosophy. Its this Thursday and I cant wait for it to be overthis half term Ive been pretty busy, but its all good! Last Friday (Not Friday yesterday) I went to The Hermit and met up with my fellow band mates and some friends. Usually we simply meet up there and then wander off to either buy some Chinese to eat in the park, sit by the lake and chat, or look for victims to kill in the woods (Haha XD). This time however, we actually went in to see the bands. VERY good reason: Black freakin metal! The Furious Horde and Korvus were playing; theyre really worth checking out and are on MySpace if youre interested in some nice atmospheric black metal. It was an awesome night and the bands were amazing!!<br />
<br />
Tuesday I had band practice, and it went pretty well also! We managed to come up with lyrics and riffs for guitar, bass and drums. We just need to think up some keyboard ones now! I have also been asked to do the metal vocals whilst the vocalist sticks to the clean/operatic ones, I was really happy about that and was flattered that they are liked! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
What elseah! Yesterday I went to Camden with my friend, that was fun ^-^ I bought some nice shiny CDs (Oooo!! Shiny!) And some patches <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I need to buy a new bag to put them onmy current bag Ive had for about 3 years, and although its still intact Id feel more comfortable buying a nice new clean one for them x_x There was an adorable anime guinea pig key-ring tooaww, I do so regret not buying it! XD I can imagine this black rucksack covered in these delightfully grotesque band pictures, topped off with a sweet guinea-piggie swaying from the zip...^--^<br />
<br />
This summer I hope to be dedicating an insane amount of time in improving at guitar and art, luckily art at school this year supposedly has no limits and so Im free to indulge in whatever artistic theme I wantoh the mirth!! >= D I also ordered my tickets for the 1349/Enslaved/Zyklon gig in September, its a long way away but Im already damn excited!<br />
<br />
I guess I could go on and ramble morebut I think Ill spare you from more reading and boredom, lol! Again I hope everyone is ok and doing alright with their exams, take care! ^-^ ]]></description>

<br />
Well, today was the first day back to school for us, and SHIZ I'm achey...I went to a Cannibal Corpse gig last night with some friends in London ( <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /> ) and -damn- it was awesome!! I was shoved into a ring a few times, but only managed to get headbutted in the eye and elbowed in the face! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />b I guess all of my hair flying around acted as a magical shield, wooOoOoo! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> I was so freakin' happy that they played 'I Will Kill You' and (obviously) "Hammer Smashed Face"!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/headbang.gif" width="47" height="16" alt=":headbang:" title="Headbang!" /> There were 3 other bands also, Aion, Prostitute something (can't remember the second word, but despite the weird name they were damn good!!) And another band I also forget the name of, lol! ^_^;<br />
<br />
I hope that everyone's Easter holiday thingy was alright, I haven't really been up to anything amazing except for completing Metal Gear Solid and beating up strangers (Just kidding <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ) oh, and coursework -_- I hope to be improving in art again as always, so please be patient hehe...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I know it's currently sucky but I'm really, really trying! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ]]></description>

I was writing some of my -own- answers. ^w^)<br />
<br />
Not too much has been happening, I've been seriously catching up on Photography and Art, as well as Media Studies a little! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Yippee! Oh yeah, arghhhh!! Thursday, my friend Karl, Mr Cox (My Photography teacher) and I all went to the dark room to develop mine and Karl's films...it was pretty fun! ^^...however. >_< They stupid negatives came out blank, apparently the fixative wasn't strong enough!! All that work for almost nothing, EXPLETIVES! >= C<br />
<br />
Ooooo!! About a week ago now I also bought some new meat hooks and big nails, although the bag of small nails that =<a class="u" href="http://radicalpuppy4.deviantart.com/">RadicalPuppy4</a> gave to me are really lovely, I needed some huge gnarly looking ones! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Holy macaroni, the cashier at Robert Dias (The little store we went to) took one look at me grinning politely, one look at what I was buying and looked away! XD She kept shaking, wouldn't make eye contact and gave very blunt, listless one word answers <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ~<a class="u" href="http://shadow-lei.deviantart.com/">Shadow-Lei</a> was with me at the time and giggling/snorting in the corner, that poor woman! X'D<br />
<br />
Oh yeah!! Also today, after school I treated myself to some...PLAY-DOUGH <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> That's right! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> A couple of days ago I found the camcorder that my grandad gave to me as he got a new one, and I remember when I was about 11 years old making some funny films using 'stop-animation'. I thought I could try again, using play-dough instead of bean-bag toys! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Of course my humour and taste has changed greatly since then, and so I hope to make some cool, perhaps even freaky short films ^_^ Hehehe, I have no luck with cashiers...the lady, although this time very polite and smiley as opposed to the nervous-wreck hardware store lady (She wasn't like that before, only after she saw me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> ) kind of gave me a few patronizing looks as it was really kiddy play-dough I was buying...oh well XD<br />
<br />
Yowzer, LONG JOURNAL! O_O I sure hope that you're all doing well and have a nice weekend!! ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know I haven't updated in a while, and I'm really, really sorry if I seem at all sappy...but I feel I should do this <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
My guinea pig; Oscar, one of three brothers (Genki and Duke being the other two) died a couple of hours ago. I'm unsure how he died, as when I found him dead, there were no signs as to how he did...but he looked peaceful. His face looked like he was normally sleeping...looking back it's kind of funny, in a twisted way, I guess. I saw him, smiled and said "Awww..." as I thought he was sleeping. I was concerned when he didn't move even a tiny bit though...so poked him gently, to make sure. He was so cold...I don't really feel like remembering any more of that moment.<br />
<br />
Anyway, to the point, I (and many others) Loved Oscar so very, very much...that energetic, loveable, ginger-fluffy little piggie with those always, shiny happy red eyes...^_^ He was lively and running about everywhere to the end, and the good times are countless...;-; Instead of constantly blaming myself and thinking how it could have been my fault, I should pay attention to what my mum and friend Berwick said...I've loved him so very, very much, more so than most people would love their pets, and taken such good care of him...Instead of focusing on all of those horrible negatives, like I was going to buy them all wooden blocks, wanted to get a group photo of me holding all three, couldn't wait for summer so that all 4 of us could play in the garden again...I'm going to be so very, very grateful that I had the pleasure of being able to be the one to take care of him, Duke and Genki from that rescue center ;-; There's lots more to say...but I feel I should draw this to a close <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> <br />
<br />
Farewell for now, Oscar, we love you and won't forget you ever!!! ^_^ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Whew!! ^_^; Due to demand and being held at gunpoint by friends such as =<a class="u" href="http://radicalpuppy4.deviantart.com/">RadicalPuppy4</a> and ~<a class="u" href="http://benpage26.deviantart.com/">Benpage26</a> I thought I should update my journal! Sheesh, I've been meaning to so many times!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br />
<br />
A LOT of cool and crazy stuffs has happened since the last journal, (Christmas, that freakin' kick-ass Lamb of God gig, intense band practice, coursework, killing sprees, stuff...) but I won't go too much into detail! ^_^; I wasn't too well for a week and a bit, but today I think I'm slowly recovering and hopefully should be a lot better soon and my usual bad-ass freakin' Overlordish self! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> (Been playing too much Makai Kingdom, Lord Zetta reminds me of myself so damn much! XD) My poor guinea pig Duke was also ill but in a very different way! T_T He had a wound and dried blood on his back, oh no! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But I cleaned it up and it's just a scab, I at first thought it was a gaping hole!!! O__O I was so worried! ;; But he's all better now! Everyone hug the piggies! A_A<br />
<br />
Was everyone's Christmas nice? ^^ I also hope that everyone is a-ok! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />b I recently dislike my art slightly, and so am going to work damn hard to improve and make photos/paintings/drawings that I really am proud of! ^^ It's not the ideas I don't like as such, but you have to admit...those first colour photos of my Photography coursework were pretty sucky! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Must improve! >_O At guitar, too! ^0^/ So, I promise myself as well as all of you that I will try even harder at art! ^^ <br />
<br />
(Also in referrance to the Soul Reaver songs that I am currently addicted to listening to, I must thank ~<a class="u" href="http://uka-uka.deviantart.com/">uka-uka</a>!! Thanks so much sis! A_A Oh!! And also ALSO in referrance to me currently having an obsession with reading Lovecraft books, thank you to my friend Jon for introducing them to me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />b)<br />
<br />
I'm surprised that I can't think of more to write, but I still have a lot of work to do...I'll be all better soon though, I'll try my hardest! ^_^ Take care everyone and I hope that you're all happy and shiny! A_A <br />
<br />
OH YEAH! O_O Thank all of you, friendies!! ^w^b You keep me (kinda) sane! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ [ mood =  SO HAPPY I MIGHT S'PLODE! A_A ] <br />
[ music = ...><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ] <br />
<br />
It's been a while! ^_^; Mostly because I haven't been bothered to make an entry...I don't mean to sound like a lazy little worm-monkey, but it's true! I've been up to my ears in coursework and things! @_@ But yaaaaay, today (well...later on today...) I'm gonna catch up ^w^<br />
<br />
ANYWAY! Yesterday I couldn't, because I went to a Cradle of Filth gig in London!! ^w^ I haven't been to a proper gig since the CoF one in April!! ;; It was so AWESOME!!! T-T We were nearly the first ones to arrive, meaning we queued (did I spell that right? Aww, who cares XD) for 5 hours! O_O But it was so fun!! X'D Not once in that 5 hours did I get bored! XD My friend Jess and I were waiting on our own for a couple of minutes, and I went down the side of the venue to talk to a security guard about tickets...I noticed a taxi from behind us and a short guy with a beanie get out and go into the side door ^_^; When we went back, Jess said "Rach...you didn't notice, did you. O_O" "Huh?" "That guy was Dani...XD" "Are you sure??? X'D" "Yeah!! He was staring at you like: What's going on? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" />" So I've no idea if it was or not! XD It -might- have just looked like him, but I don't know X'D And a couple of minutes later, after we were just waiting a little more and not many people had come yet, we maded a new friend!! A_A A man named Colin came up to us and said, "Hey random people!! ^w^" And we were together for the whole giggie!! ^0^ The real fun started when they put the barriers up, we were mostly ALL just singing Monty Python songs, having debates about why Spongebob is/isn't gay, video-game chat, roaring and growling, smiling and shouting "I love you! ^w^" To people walking by...X'D Oh! And this group near the front kept running down the road and coming back with bins!! XD We had about 3-4 at the edge of the queue afterwards!! XD That's what I love about gigs, everyone can talk to everyone and basically everyone=friend! XD Man...I loved it so much ;; There were a few moments that were just plain WEIRD XD The big group that we had all made friends with suddenly pushed forward and went "URGHHH!" O_O Then I suddenly heard, "HOLY S***!! THIS DUDE'S EJACULATING!!" ARGHH! XD I didn't dare to look back as it was a little further down the queue, but also I was scared of what I might see!! X_x Another friend we made really made us happy, as he said "Whoa!! -REAL- goths! You don't actually meet many, ya know?? ^-^" It was very nice of him! ^0^ So much more happened but I've only spoken about the queue and it's this big already! XD<br />
<br />
The actual gig? AWESOME AS USUAL!! ><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Colin and I first went into the moshpit after the two opening bands had been on, and whilst everyone was waiting they played really happy music, ROTFL! XD So we started dancing ballroom style!! X'D Others joined in, too!! ^w^ Then Cradle came on...woooOoOo! A__A What I really loved is that they mostly played their 'old-school' songs, whereas in April they played most of their new songs which I don't like as much ^_^;; Although they -did- play 'Gilded ****' first, that was the only song I went into the moshpit for and went freakin' crazy!! XD I made my hair go all windmilly, wheee!! A_A And they played CTHULHU DAWN!! That's my favourite Cradle song!! Whee-heeee!! ^w^ The opening bands were 'Octavia' which I didn't likey too much, and 'Cathedral' which I did like a bit!! ^w^ I also got slightly annoyed at this adult lady, as she kept saying things like "This is the worst crowd I've ever seen, their behaviour is disgusting!" And later on shrieking at the security guard to "do his ****ing job" because two boys were slamming into each other in the moshpit (which she was not even in, so it didn't affect her in the SLIGHTEST) And I just thought; Lady, it's an age 18+ BLACK METAL GIG. We're not going to be all sitting down calmly and gently waving our fingers to the music as if it were a freakin' opera. X_X But moving away from that, Dani was funny as he was talking about his tight leather clothes making him wet himself, or something like that!!! X'D I also got a few people liking my roaring/growling! ^w^ They would turn around to see who it was, and then kind of be between '<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" />' and '!!A__A' and then give me an evil grin and thumbs up!! I'm so flattered!! ^w^<br />
<br />
I could go on and on, as I've MUCH more to say, but I fear I've rambled long enough!! ^_^; *bows* I'm so very sorry!! ;; OW MY NECK! >_O Maybe I got a little -too- excited yesterday...*falls ov... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The title is by my photography teacher...Matt and I were waiting for our class to start, and because no-one else turned up as they thought that sir wasn't going to, sir had forgotten...XD <br />
<br />
Sir: Grrrr, I've got so much work to do...sorry that I forgot...>_O<br />
Matt: It's alright, we can catch up on coursework in here ^_^<br />
Sir: Yeah, and at least I'm not a weirdo, like Rachael ^w^<br />
Me: Heeeeeey!! I'm still in the ROOM! XD <br />
-------------------<br />
<br />
Nothing too much happening..swamped with coursework again, mostly Art and Photography, but Art...GAAAAH...I'm told by the teachers to do something, and when I do it they are kind of "What did you do that for? You should have done this, this, this..." Thus making me paranoid to do anything...>< If I find out the mark scheme, I can just follow that and I won't be so confused XD I'll have to sort that out tomorrow...<br />
<br />
General Studies again...if you thought the last essay of 'Is it worth getting married' was stupid, you'll find this...MEGA STUPID X_X "Make a small booklet on good parenting."...what? WHAT? We're 16! >_O What do we need to know THAT for?! I don't plan to EVER have kids for one O_O She also stopped me on the way to assembly and asked for the previous essay...I said "...ohhh...ohhh! ^_^; Well, I...don't have it on me...;; *got around the corner, mumbles* and I haven't done iiiiit...X_X" I have to catch up on ALL of this crazy stuff (including all that Media...urghhh...) on the weekend...-_- I also wanted to spend more time with the guinea pigs and actually practise guitar for once! >_O It's been about two weeks since I last practised! AND I have to take another whole black and white 36 shot film! X_X I don't have that many ideas yet, even if I take multiple shots for each one...<br />
<br />
Video-game wise, not much...Blood Omen 2 I can't progess with (glitch...;; I got stuck in this room and spent an hour trying to figure out what to do and feeling sad because I was a bad gamer and couldn't figure out what to do...;; So I checked a walkthrough and there is supposed to be another pier which isn't there, I had the problem before with jumping out of a window and landing in grey nothingness, but I cleaned the disk and tada...it may be the ps2 as it did have trouble reading Silent Hill 4 data for a while, but got over it...when my friend gets back from her holiday I'll ask if she doesn't mind me playing with hers <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />; I may just work on getting all the endings for every SH...I've already gotten all 4 endings for SH4 ^_^; (GO WALTER! HE KICKS SO MUCH BUTT-BUTT! ><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />) And I still need to actually buy SH3...I can't find it anywhere T-T AND WHEN IS SILENT HILL 5 COMING OUT??? I can't wait anymore! >_O<br />
<br />
I also had my braces taken off, whee! My grins freakyness has been reduced by...10% or something A_A People don't cower as much now! Yay! XD<br />
<br />
I feel so boring lately...I haven't been working on my manga as much at all...it's mostly art and photography all the time T-T I guess it's better in the long term...I need another break ;; Half term went too fast -_-<br />
<br />
That's all really!! ^^b I hope to watch my new videos I got at the bootsale this weekend...a couple I have seen before but loved them so much had to buy them! A_A Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Devilman, Se7en, HellRaiser 1,2,3, and a Sonic the Hedgehog video!!! ;; NOSTALGIA! ;O; My dad was like, "...what? X_X" And so was the stall owner person thingy...XD Oh yeah!! I know a life-saving fact! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":o" title=":o (Eek)" /> I bought 3 packets of stickers today A_A I have so many notepads where I'm constantly scribbling down sudden ideas and daydreams and whatnot, I wanted to make the front covers look cooler XD I got a pack of black stars, kitties, and hamsters!! A_A So cool! XD That way, people won't think I'm writing world domination plots anymore!! ><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> Muahahaha, the perfect disguise...PLUS THE HAMSTER STICKERS ARE FLUFFY! A_A *rubs cheek on notepad*<br />
Mortiroth's Demonic minion 1: Th, they're evil kitties and hamsters, honest >_><br />
Mortiroth's Demonic minion 2: Even the greatest evil overlord can't resist fuzzy hamsters and sparkly black rainbow-outlines stars...it's perfectly normal! X_X<br />
<br />
Thank you also to Matt and Ben, whom I dragged all the way from Brentwood to Romford to go to the orthodontist with me...XD You see, if I go alone, the dentist sics his depraved cactus on me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I TOO... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Argh, I have to write a 400 word essay on "Is it really worth getting married?" for General Studies...I'm gonna give her a one word essay on "Does anybody care?" >_O I hate that lesson so much...an hour WASTED...I could be doing art coursework! T-T<br />
<br />
But smelly and pointless homeworks aside, I've been very good! A__A (Not behaviour wise...putting brightly coloured socks on the neighbours cat does NOT get Rachael gold stars for being a good girl. ;; ) I've mostly been playing with the guinea pigs, playing Silent Hill 2 (completed! Woo! A_A...now I'm sad as I hafta wait for SH5 to come out...IN 2006!! ;O; )and Blood Omen 2, tiny bit of guitar, planning and drawing...my friends Jess and Laura came over on Wednesday, that was super fun as we love playing scary games and messing around! ^w^ They're so awesome for giving me opinions on my art, too!! ^0^<br />
<br />
A couple of days ago, I was kinda disappointed...my mum asked if I wanted to go to the tip with her ('Rubbish dump', 'Garbage dump, 'Junk yard' that thingy ^_^; ) And ever since I can remember, junk yards have been magical places...;; I wasn't planning to bring any home, just to do a few quick sketches of some thrown away stuff ^_^; Not just wrappers and crud like that, but old rotten dolls, broken furniture, rusty kitchen appliances...it's an awesome place for inspiration!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> However, upon arriving...it was just a smelly recycling place!! T-T Everything was in these huge metal skip things, and so I didn't see anything! Rats!! ;___; I haven't been to a -decent- (inspiration-wise XD) Junk yard in years...not since I was really little ~_~<br />
<br />
Well...even though that entry was a little boring, I'm not sure what else to write about currently...I was hoping I'd be a little more creative this half term, but I've been using it to 'chill' and I'm kinda sad about that ^_^;; But I guess that is what it's for!! XD I also need acrylic paints...>_O And another trip to the library! ^0^/ ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So much coursework, and already!! x_x But on the good side, I've nearly done!! ^w^ I'm up to scratch with Photography, but Art...GWAAAH! ;-; I'm going to work like crazy on the weekend, I need to do an awful lot of independent work ^_^; <br />
<br />
Also!! Yesterday, I randomly played Kingdom Hearts again...(Haven't played since this Summer! x-x) And after 6 tries...I BEAT SEPHIROTH FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!! YAAAY! XD...He's the hardest boss in the game, I think! x_x He was so tough to beat! >< But he's one of my favourite video-game characters so I forgive him. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
And at school, we signed out of school at lunchtime to wander around and Matt and Ben begged to be able to choose their own numbers...I asked to have the number 'crocodile'!! A__A XD But she gave me 6, and her excuse was that they were 6 feet long T-T<br />
<br />
I'm currently playing Phantasy Star Online, Blood Omen 2 and Silent Hill 2...I've been holding back on games so long I'm going to start trying playing a little more again <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> <br />
<br />
Today, as usual, we got told off in the library. -_- Not only was it "SHHHHH!" But she actually came over to us and begged us to be quiet because she has work to do and it drives her crazy! XD She just stares at the computer screen and laughs now and then! x_x Besides, she must have a lower concentration span than ME! And that's saying someth...oooo, lookie! A bee!! A_A...what? Where am I? I lost my mini-bus of thought. T_T<br />
<br />
Also-also, the day before yesterday I was working on something cooool! ^0^ I may be able to show everyone very soon, a week or even less! ^w^b I didn't get a chance to hug my guinea piggies today, I feel so...TERRIBLE! T_T Super special hug-hugs tomorrow ;; ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yaaaaaay! Well, again I've nothing interesting to say. But I'm in the library at school, and rather bored.<br />
<br />
Last weekend was fun, my friend and I rented out a Korean horror film called 'Acacia', wasn't very scary but cool nonetheless!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Same with Galerians: Rion, I borrowed the game once but had to return it before I even got out of the hospital level. x_x<br />
<br />
This week has been fast and also fun, yesterday Matt and I were almost crying in Media Studies and scribbling down on our friend Andrew's sheet (we didn't realize, and he didn't mind XD) what you could do if you had a big chin...looking back I just giggle and snort a little, but at the time...I had tears in my eyes and I couldn't breathe XD I should scan it in!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> A couple of my doodles/ideas were: You could act as a dinner table for a lot of people, act as a bus and carry people on your chin, if you were stuck and had to get over a pit of spikes your friends could use your chin as a bridge...but the final straw which set us up to almost peeing ourselves was Matt's 'Playground slide' drawing X'D I'll never forget that grape-scented diagram XD<br />
<br />
Nothing much else except for coursework and schoolwork, EVERY day after school -_- It's nearly all done, I should have a lot of time to mess about for the weekend, YEEHAW!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Oh yesh! I also completed Silent Hill. Wheee. Within 3 days of getting it, I could have probably done it a LOT sooner but I only played a couple or less hours a night ^_^; The only one I need to get and complete now is Silent Hill 2...and I hear that's the scariest >= D I also may buy SH3, as I completed it only when I rented...I completed it twice and a half in a week, I loved it XD That's all I have time for right now as I have been discovered as the cause of the humming and am being 'SHHHHHH'ed to death >_O Scary librarians. I'll be sure to have them put in a room with LOUD black metal XD SHH YOUR WAY OUTTA THAT!! >= D I need to gets one of those airhorn thingys.<br />
<br />
"Shhh!"<br />
"*grins and makes air horn go MWOOOOOOOOOOOP!*"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hmmm, again, I've nothing interesting (to most people anyway XD) To report...I DID however, GET SILENT HILL 1 YESTERDAY! For...*drumroll* 99P!!! NINTY-NINE FREAKIN' PENCE! My friend Jess got it as we both love the series a damn lot, we're already up to the hospital level!! We played SH1 when we first met, yeeeears ago, about 4 it is now! ^_^; And I first played it when I was about 10, at the time I was so worried by it...but wow...I can see why I was back then, the music is so atmospheric and wonderful <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />

Anyways, today again was crazy. I had 3 free lessons, so Matt, Adam and I messed around in the library as usual...I printed off some tarantula pictures as I recently really want to learn lots about them (Library books have to be back tomorrow and I've only read 3/4s of the Paranormal book! X_X I've read the other two...and this is a different library I get these from, not the stinky school one XD) Shushy lady wasn't at school today...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But her second in shushyness friend filled in, whee! ^0^ Lunchtime...what can I say. It included Jimmy getting literally THROWN over the hedge, Tim getting yelled at (mostly by me XD I don't do it mean, I just roar "TIIIIIM! >=F") Matt falling THROUGH the hedge...me wrestling with Ben and throwing HIM into the hedge...me getting thrown into the hedge...etc. ^_^; Oh, we also got told off by the ex-school principal for not being in our own area. ; ; We can't be as stupid there as the other big kid 6th formers are too adulty!! ;O; Well, they're used to us anyway...^_^;<br />
<br />
...I'll try to make a more interesting journal next time, honest. XD I'm just currently bored and so typing...maybe I should have stopped then...or stopped typing THEN...or NOW... ...oops, ok...NOW!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hmmm...I thought I'd make a random journal, just because I haven't for a while because stupid school-work...XD Today was good at school etc...at breaktime, Adam took one of Ben's chalks and drew those dead-body outlines everywhere...X_X He drew 3 XD One was randomly dead, one was half on the wall with an arrow through their head and one was shot. XD They remained there until lunch, too, when Mr Ullmer saw them!! @_@ He was super mad, and I just pretended (so did everyone else) That I didn't know what was going on...XD He said "Rachael!! Where you here when this was done?! >= C" And Ben, Matt, Adam and I just said that no, we were with our photography teacher. Then he went into a rant about it not being fair on caretakers...whoo boy. XD<br />
<br />
Anyways, after school we got in trouble yet AGAIN because Michael was swinging on a tree just outside the backgate of school, he jumped off and landed in this old fence which broke down...as we started to quickly walk away, a scary lady shouted for us to stop, and so of course we did...only Michael got in trouble obviously ^_^;;<br />
<br />
AAAAND Matt and I saved a frog...this bad ol' kitty in our garden was attacking it!! O_O (The same one which bothers the guinea pigs >&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> And so I quickly ran outsie with my arms waving and said "WHEEEE!! >:F" X'D We then got the frog in a shoebox, and went next door as they have a pond...but the meanie butt-heads ignored us >:/ So we went down to the shop and I said to a random gothy-man "Excuse me, do you have a pond? ^^" We explained and he tooky the frog, went in his car and said we were good for helping it!! A_A...but a few minutes after I thought poop, what if he's going to dissect it or something. x_x;<br />
<br />
Anyway, that was all rather boring, huh...LOTS of stuff has happened, but that requires memory, and I'm doing my photography homework!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Piece of cake out, dudes! XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>
