Seriously, the show was awesome. Great atmosphere and all that stuff. It was part of their Somewhere Back In Time tour thing or something. Was so worth all the money AND I have two band t-shirts now! (The other being my Dragonforce one)

So! Brief rundown of the show.

Setlist:
Aces High
AWESOME

Wrathchild
AWESOME

Children Of The Damned
AWESOME and a massively under-appreciated song.

Phantom of the Opera
AWESOME although sadly a song I don't know that well

The Trooper
REALLY AWESOME

Wasted Year
AWESOME

Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
AWESOME and came out really well live

Powerslave
AWESOME and another massively under-appreciated song.

Run To The Hills
REALLY REALLY AWESOME! Hearing the crowd drown out Brucey on this was so cool.

Fear of the Dark
REALLY AWESOME AGAIN!

Hallowed Be Thy Name
STILL REALLY AWESOME!

Iron Maiden
AWESOME!


Encores:
The Number of the Beast
ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY AWESOME!

The Evil That Men Do
STILL AWESOME!

Sanctuary
AWESOMELY AWESOME!



So, in conclusion. It was awesome. You should've gone. Yes, especially you!

I have a photo on my phone, just gotta figure out how to upload it.


So yeah, I was walking down the path right, look down, and there's this grasshopper lying on its back and this bee viciously attacking its head or something and the grasshopper trying (and failing) to fight back. It was so awesome. I wish you could all have seen it.

I am still awestruck at the awesomeness of that situation.




EDIT: I'm being told it was actually a wasp. Fine. They all look the same to me. This does not negate the awesomeness of the situation.

[Waniou] has gained the achievement [WoW nerd]!

Err... I mean...

[Waniou] has gained the achievement [Level 80]!


So with that, comes the realisation that I should probably spend less time on WoW and more time doing things that matter. So hopefully, from now, I'll get some writing done. I have a few writing goals I've set myself (Such as, I want a second draft of Might of Ashura done by the end of the year, screw the fact that it mysteriously went missing! And I want to write a lot more of SKI, since people want it)


Um, I think that's about it for now. Time to bum around on WoW for a bit!

So, in not particular order, here is a brief review of what I remember happened.

Politics:
- Labour finally got defeated in an election. Will National be better? I don't know! Maybe.
- A black guy beat an old white guy for the American presidency. Will this bring in a time of change for the United States of America and the rest of the world? I don't care! Maybe.

Music:
- Iced Earth brought out a new album. I haven't heard it yet. Should probably buy it...
- Found a few okay songs on the radio throughout the year though that have now been downloaded. Legally of course. *cough*

Movies:
- What came out this year? That Dark Knight movie? Haven't seen it yet.
- The new Narnia movie was cool.

Gaming:
- Start of the year brought the 4th job advancement on MapleStory. Biggest update to Maple in recent times, IMO.
- Pirates came out on Maple too.
- I got to 157 on Maple and quit because it got boring.
- Started playing WoW. Didn't manage to get to 80 before the end of the year though, because I'm lazy. Hooray!
- Wrath of the Lich King came out for WoW. I maintain it's overrated.
- I recently discovered Warcraft III. It's really really fun!
- Is it strange that this section is the biggest so far? Perhaps if my memory extended more than a month...

Love:
- Two failed relationships, both of which have served to remind me of Pam's ever useful advice: "Don't trust females"
- Possibly a renewed old relationship? I have no idea! Only 2009 will tell!

Anything else:
- Sir Edmund Hillary died. He was awesome!
- Crashed into my mum's car. Oops.


That is all! Happy New Year, my deviantART people and may it bring many shinies and crap!

So anyway, I sorta did okay at first. Kept doing weird things with accelerating and driving at unusual speeds. But got the hang of it kinda and instead started forgetting to brake at intersections. Or turning on the wrong side of intersections. Thank goodness for quiet towns!

But yeah, then I turned the corner to my mum's place (Where I'm staying), she yelled at me for not stopping at a give way (I did actually check), I got distracted, turned too sharply, panicked and hit my mum's car.


I hereby blame manuals!


Also, my ear still hurts. *stabs*

Still not going to go into detail about that or something.

Today is Christmas Eve! So merry Christmas to all of you for tomorrow and may Santa Wani leave you many alligators in your Christmas Swamp! Because Santa Wani does that! And they are good alligators who give cheesecake and hugs!


Oh wait I just got sidetracked. Anyway, going to Mum's place this afternoon, so here's hoping it's less of a train wreck than my trip last year! If I'm sick on Christmas Day again, there will be stabbyings.

Think that's all I wanted to say. I'll try to have interwebs there but I'll be gone until Monday/Tuesdayish. If you notice a difference to my normal level of inactivity on deviantART, then umm... Yeah.

]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/20849488/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/20849488/ Sun, 05 Oct 2008 20:29:39 PDT
So here are my reasons:
- I am studying towards a BSc in physics with a minor in maths. I'm very tempted to change to a double major in physics and maths because I can.
- I get terribly passionate about maths. The following proof is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen:

Prove that, if r² = r for all r ∈ R, then R is a commutative ring. (As in, sr = rs for any s, r ∈ R.

Firstly, r = r² = (-r)² = -r, so r = -r.

Therefore, 2r = r + r = r + (-r) = 0.

So, if we look at s + r:
s + r = (s + r)² = s² + sr + rs + r² = s + sr + rs + r

Cancelling s and r on both sides, sr + rs = 0
sr = -rs

But r = -r, so

sr = rs

Thus, R is a commutative ring. Yay! That maths just flows out so cleanly.

And, for where that is actually the case, we look at the ring of subsets, with the symmetric difference as addition and the union as multiplication. Ever seen a Venn diagram? Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about. Anyway, we're looking basically at all the possible ways to arrange a Venn diagram. Kinda. Does that make sense?
Anyway, for addition, we take the symmetric difference, which is anything that appears in either of the two sets but not in both. So naturally, if you do r + r with that, you get everything that appears in itself but not in itself. Which is nothing.
And, for multiplication, we take the union, which is anything that's in either of them. If you take everything that's in itself, you just get itself again, which is why r² = r. Make sense kinda? Probably not? Didn't think so.
Anyway, naturally, it doesn't matter which way around you do that (If you look at say, all red vehicles that are cars, it doesn't matter if you then take all cars that are red, you still get the same group of red cars)

See why I'm a nerd? More reasons though!
- I have a level 47 warrior on World of Warcraft. I'm aiming to get it to 70 before Wrath of the Lich King comes out on November 13th (roughly a level a day until 60ish should hopefully do it).
- I have a level 157 Dark Knight on MapleStory. You realise how much work that takes?
- I've AA'd 147 different songs on DDR and am one of the best players in Dunedin. I desperately want to be better.
- I love writing. XD I just can never be bothered doing it.
- I obsess over various kinds of music. I looooove power metal.

Okay, can't think of much more. btw, I'm still alive, but I still haven't cleared out my deviation log recently. Must do that.

A brief guide to all my various characters, alts and idiots on the two online games that I play, and where I got their names from! Naming convention is interesting XD

So basically, even if you aren't into MapleStory or World of Warcraft, it may be good to read the naming part. Useful useless information about upcoming writing!

All levels are current as far as I remember as of the time of writing.

So... let's begin! With MapleStory!
(The following images may break unexpectedly. If they do, blame Nexon. XD)

Waniou
Level 157 Dark Knight of Scania

Waniou is my main, teh sexy pro DK. Been playing him for nearly two years.
I refuse to HP wash, because I want to prove that it's not necessary for DKs to HP wash (For those who don't know, HP washing is a technique involving spending a lot of RL money to sacrifice one's MP to increase their HP permanently).
On this character, I have so far killed all but 4 major bosses. I've got far more Zakum, pap and HT kills under my belt than I can count, I have yet to solo Zakum, although I've tried (and failed because of lag/disconnecting issues) twice.
The bosses I have yet to kill are Lord Pirate (I did however, kill a Lord Pirate clone, because it's impossible for me to kill him, he's only in Pirate PQ which has a maximum level of 100), Bodyguard A & B, and Grandpa Boss in Showa. The latter three just being freaking strong but I will do it!
I also have to kill all the area bosses on it, but I'm lazy. And kill Big Foot more legitly (So far, I've only killed it once by slightly abusing the glitch that let people poison it).

For now, Waniou is in retirement. I'm sorta saving up money from HT so I can upgrade my gear massively. And, well, I'm bored of training

Naming
The name "Waniou" comes from the Japanese for "alligator king". Long story short, Wani (alligator) is my favouritest Japanese word because it sounds awesome. I first learnt the word when we had to say
"My mother is in the garden" in Japanese ("haha wa niwa ni imasu"), and one of my fellow classmates said "haha wani wa ni imasu", to which the teacher promptly replied "Don't say 'wani', that's an alligator!").
And the word stuck. Unfortunately, I'm not the only person who thinks Wani is an awesome word, so people keep stealing it. So, I decided to claim the title of king of alligators! And thus, I am Waniou, Alligator King and the name follows me wherever I can make it. *stabs gmail*

Dinky
Level 19 doggy with a red top hat

Dinky is named after my IRL doggy, of course and is freaking awesome. He has a red top hat because my first look on my DK was as a gentleman, who also had a red top hat. However, Dinky's look was more popular so it's stuck with him since.
He's actually older than my DK because of me having to restart my DK due to me royally screwing up his stats (repeatedly). And he's been faithfully following me around for two years, picking up my crap! Go Dinky ilu! <33

Ashilta
Level 48 low dex assassin

Ashilta is actually my oldest character, again due to having to restart my DK. I originally made him a thief because I was told that thieves have the most inventory space and I wanted him to haul my crap around. (This turned out not to be true, warriors actually have more). So, for now, he sits in New Leaf City where he supplies my DK with potions and holds crap. *shrug*
I'll get him up to 4th job some day, I swear... XD

Naming
The name "Ashilta" comes from Ashura's Blade, my book trilogy that I'll write someday. XD It doesn't help that I freaking lost what I'd written on it <_< Anyway, Ashilta is one of the minor Spirits in the book, and he's associated with stealthiness and subtlety, hence why I name my thief characters after him.

HoIyBattIer
Level 33 battle cleric

It's the 21st anniversary of His Lord Exalted Waniou being among us, so big celebrations and mucho presents are in order. Be prepared! You have one month left!

]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/19960684/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/19960684/ Thu, 14 Aug 2008 21:40:01 PDT Iced Earth, so I figure here is a place as any to ramble about them.


Firstly, about their latest album, Framing Armageddon. This is the first part of the "sequel" to the Something Wicked trilogy of songs in the album Something Wicked This Way Comes (Prophecy, Birth of the Wicked and The Coming Curse). I saw "sequel", because story wise, it's really just Prophecy and possibly Birth of the Wicked. Rather than writing a sequel, they've just gone over the story in more detail.

But yeah, basically, Something Wicked is the story of Set Abominae, the anti-Christ from a race of demonic Setians. Framing Armageddon tells of how they got wiped out by mankind for some poorly explained reason, and them plotting their revenge as they wait for Set to be born and finalise the end of the world.

All in all, storywise, it was a bit of a let down. Night of the Stormrider, IMO, had a much better story, and Iced Earth could've done better.

Musically, it's not that spectacular either. There aren't any songs that really stand out as being amazing (Such as Dante's Inferno in Burnt Offerings or A Question of Heaven in The Dark Saga), although there were a few fairly good ones, my current favourites being Something Wicked Part 1 and, of course, Ten Thousand Strong.

So... all in all, it was a bit of a let down. Could've been a lot better. Still, I'm waiting patiently for the sequel, The Crucible of Man, which has Matt Barlow returning as the vocalist.


On that note. Matt Barlow is vocalist again! Yay! Tim Owens was a pretty good singer, but well... he didn't have that certain thing that Barlow had. He couldn't really put the feeling into some of the slower songs that Barlow could, although he did excellently on all the faster ones. So... I'm happy and sad to see Barlow back. He's still a great singer, but Iced Earth really was fine with Tim Owens.

On that note, I heard a live show last night from this year, with Matt Barlow singing. Umm.... tracklist, what was it?
1: The Dark Saga
2: Vengeance Is Mine
3: Burning Times
4: Declaration Day
5: Violate
6: Pure Evil
7: Ten Thousand Strong
8: Dracula
9: Prophecy
10: Birth of the Wicked
11: The Coming Curse
12: (I didn't listen, the person I was getting it from messed up the order on Something Wicked so I gave up, but I presume it was Iced Earth)

I have to say, it showed that Barlow hadn't song for years. And he really does look like a cop. XD He's lost his hair, cut it short and it does suit him.
But boy did he suck on Owen's songs. He tried to sing like Owens and it was straining him. It just sounded wrong, he shouldn't have tried to impersonate him, and should've just sung the songs in his own style.


Mmkay. That's about all I have to say, so I'm gonna run away XD Enjoy reading this!

Which means, yes, I am back writing. I finished SKI part 1 today, and I'll start work on part 2 ASAP. Enjoy everyone!


I'm also working on fiddling with a few things. I'll probably renew my subscription soon, maybe get a new layout for my journal, plus I still have 62 deviations left to look at (Yes, I am looking at them, even if I don't comment. Sorry if I skimread over writing though D: ), and I want to go through my own gallery and clean it up a bit.


So... again, I'm back!

But first, quick update on my life: I passed all 3 papers last semester, so yay! Time to repeat 2nd year electromagnetism, plus 2 assy 3rd year maths papers. I might do a double major in maths and physics, depending on if I can do enough papers for that next year.

Yes, the strangeness. I love particle physics.

I spent most of the relationship effectively pretending to be someone I wasn't. I was too afraid of hurting her and wasn't being true to myself and when she found out who I really was, she didn't like it.

1: I'm doing terribly at uni. I'm probably going to fail half my papers.
Passed three papers, failed the fourth. Better than I expected.

2: I live with one of my best friends and my ex (Who are going out), and I'm worried about telling them that I don't want to live with them any more, mostly due to the fact that seeing one of my best friends and my ex together is still somewhat hurtful, despite me being over her.
I wound up moving out, told them far too late, they threw a spaz, have hardly spoken to me and are throwing a tantrum like children. I have to take them to the New Zealand equivalent of a small claims court since they refuse to pay their share of the small claims court, and they stripped my MapleStory account of everything. At least I still could log in and have since managed to get back up my feet.

3: I have fallen in love with a girl in the US. She's torn between me and another guy. I don't know if I'll ever get to be with her, but seeing as he's closer geographically to her than me, my chances are pretty damn low.
Turns out she's a bitch who guy hops. I regret liking her and wish I didn't still have residual feelings for her. <_<; I have since fallen for another girl from the US, but I'm really scared about getting too close to her, after having been hurt twice so far.

4: I have no close friends in Dunedin. (Well, not any more. See #2) While arranging a birthday dinner for me for tomorrow, I realised the only people I really wanted to invite are my family. Go me.
Nathan and Michelle <3

5: I have one close friend in New Zealand.
Above.

6: MapleStory has decided Christopher is a swearword. I am boycotting NX cash (That you pay for with real money) until they allow me to say my name.
One patch after that 'Christ', and thus Christopher, was removed from the swear filter.

7: I'm not expecting anything for my birthday. Well. Nothing much. Something from my mum, although she doesn't know what to buy me (I'm terrible like that. Nobody ever knows what to get me, not even me). Nikki's sent something in the mail (The girl mentioned in #3) and one of my MS friends bought me an Eclipse in game. See my deviantID, it's the moon weapon the left Waniou is holding.
Lost the Eclipse in said hacking. Got the other two things. *shrug* I'm surviving.

I think that's about it. Go me?

EDIT:
8: Apparently nobody here really cares?
People replied, although belatedly.



So, in short, things are looking up. ^_^

Gotta take my exflatmates to the New Zealand equivalent of court because they won't pay up for the last power bill 'cause it's not in their name.

This is so pathetic.

My dad once said that you always know if you're doing the right thing because it will be difficult and hurtful to yourself at first, but it'll make other people happy. The wrong thing will make yourself happy at first but hurt everyone else. I've realised just how true this is.


On a totally different note, I got my MSN emoticons to work. I had to make an animated GIF out of them, but my GIF animator didn't like the idea of having two identical frames. I then discovered the GIMP does animate GIFs so I used that and they work perfectly.

However, then my computer died. It's now 2am and I'm working at reformatting it. Luckily I saved all my crap off it first XD


Okay, that's all. Bye bye! Time to go through these almost-100 deviations I let stack up again. Damnit, gotta stop doing that XD

We got to the concert venue at about 7:30. Wasn't a very large place and we got a spot fairly close to the stage, so everything was easy to see. At 8:30, things started

First band that played was some generic crappy death metal band. Seriously, they sucked. I'm not entirely sure what they were called (Hell, let's be honest, I have no idea what they were called) but they were so generic and they had songs called "Souls of the Dark" and "Night of the Living [Brains?]". It was horrible. Thankfully, Rochelle and I only had to endure them for half an hour.
Half an hour after they finished, we had another band to listen to. Vanishing Point, who were an Australian metal band, possibly power metal. And, well, they were actually really really good. So good I'm considering getting some of their music. They played for half an hour and that was awesome.
Must remember to look them up some time.

Anyway, at about 10:15pm, finally it was time for Dragonforce and they were simply awesome. They all knew how to act on stage, jumping around and very obviously having a great time, and ZP really knew how to get the crowd going. Plus, apparently Sam Totman's parents were present, so, well, they had fun teasing him all night. Apparently it was the most sober they'd ever seen him o.o
And now, a setlist!

1 - Revolution Deathsquad
Can't say it's my favourite one of their songs, but they still did it really well, getting the crowd to sing parts of the chorus and such. Very nicely done
2 - Fury of the Storm
IMO, the best Dragonforce song, was kinda a shame to see it done so early in the show, but still done so well. The crowd loved it, they did it perfectly.
3 - Operation: Ground and Pound
Now this was fun. At one point, they decided to get the crowd to sing the chorus. Unfortunately, the crowd did not know the chorus. So they tried to sing, got as far as they could and, well, sorta stopped. So ZP started raging at everyone, saying that it was "the biggest cocksuck on God's green earth" and that we shouldn't expect them to show up and just support us constantly. It was hilarious. In the end they finished the song with the crowd supporting them as much as we could XD
4 - Black Winter Night
Unfortunately, not a song I know very well But still done well
5 - Trail of Broken Hearts
Absolutely brilliant. Seriously. This is one of my favourite Dragonforce songs and they just did it perfectly. ZP sung it perfectly, the crowd got right into it and I just loved it.
6 - Keyboard Solo
Not entirely, because Sam and Herman came on stage and did a little thing, but it was mostly their keyboardist (who I don't remember the name of XD) being an idiot and having fun playing random music, including a part of the Simpsons theme song XD
7 - Soldiers of the Wasteland
Another excellent Dragonforce song that, unfortunately, I don't know enough about. >_< Still, very awesome.
8 - Storming the Burning Fields
I can't stay this is one of my favourite songs off Inhuman Rampage... In fact, it's probably one of my least favourite. Not entirely sure why they did it, but it was still really fun. Would've preferred Cry for Eternity
9 - My Spirit Will Go On
Yet another of their best songs and a perfect way to finish their first setlist. The crowd got into this one hugely and they did it perfectly. And afterwards came... Encores!

Encores
10 - Through the Fire and Flames
Absolutely brilliant. The crowd loved this one and they were obviously having so much fun doing it.
Then, after that, second encore!
11 - Valley of the Damned
Like ZP said, if you don't know this song, you don't know Dragonforce and it was obvious just how Dragonforce this song is. Unfortunately, like all songs off the Valley of the Damned album, I didn't know it well enough. >_< Still, awesome song.

Anyway. That's about all I have to say about that. I picked up a nice t-shirt and I had the time of my life there so it was worth the money. The only complaint I have was that the bass was a little overpowering in some points. Still, it was absolutely amazing. 9/1... ]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/12723976/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/12723976/ Tue, 24 Apr 2007 21:45:36 PDT

That is the current state of the DDR machine in town. It's broken. I must try to survive without DDR. What will I do?

Yes, I have my new laptop, I finally have no new deviations and messages (I'll try to keep up to date XD) So full of shiny goodness.

Secondly, grats to DJ on Dunedin's first AAA and to me on Dunedin's first PSMO pass although I have yet to reproduce this. XD

Now I just have to get back into writing... Expect more DDR photos, possibly MapleStory screenshots and on youtube, DDR videos. Go me!

I'm really sorry that I haven't posted or been on or a while, but like I sad last time, my computer is broken. If I go online, it's on one of my flatmate's computers.

I'm hoping for a new computer soon, which will leave me the daunting task of getting 71 deviations and 50 new message. >_<

So hopefully I'll be more active soon. Until then... poos lol.

So yeah, my younger brother broked my computer. >_< Now I've stolen my friend's but don't expect me to go on that much.

Until then, you get another screenshot of MapleStory (XD) and a brief journal.

In other news, yaaaaaaaay back together with Emma! *wuvwuvs*

And thanks a lot to all you people who offered your words of encouragement and support on the (temporary) ending of our three and a half year relationship. -_-;

And now, a random review. Sonata Arctica's Silence. Great album and Sonata Arctica is a great band. Tony Kakko has to be one of the most amazing male vocalists.
Best songs... Well, I'll do a top 3 or so.

3: Black Sheep - Quite a fun, fast sort of song. Actually, half the reason I like this is because Nathan loves it on Drummania. But still a cool song.
2: Tallulah - I love sad songs and I don't know why. This song fits that perfectly. It's about a couple who break up because they're afraid of their relationship turning bad. Really sad song but I love it. ("Tallulah, it's easier to live aone than fear the time is over")
And my random number 1 is...

1: The End of this Chapter - An eeriely beautiful song. It's about a pedophile (told from his point of view) who is forced to seperate from the girl he loved and tracks her down (aka stalking her) after many years, only to find she has a new love. It's an amazing song and I can't stop listening to it.

Actually, I just wanted to use the phrase "eeriely beautiful song" so I wrote a whole review for that. >_<

Anyway, if you enjoyed my MapleStory screenshots, you should vist omgwanisnoob's myspace, where I'm putting all of them. Yay! Bye!

You might also know that I'm a bit of a reclusive person. I don't usually talk about my feelings and about what's troubling me but, well...
Tonight, you loyal watchers get something special. You get a nice deep trip into the mind of Wani. If you don't want to know, feel free not to read this. But yeah. Brace yourself for ye olde wall o' text.

As you probably all know, Emma and I have been going out for ages. Since 17 July, 2003. In 2 days, it would have been 3 and a half years, exactly.
At first, things were great. We were in love, we loved spending time with each other, things were going perfectly. We were perfect for each other.
Except not. I was addicted to pornography. I tried repeatedly to stop looking at it but every time I did, I just went back. Emma made it clear she would dump me if I looked at porn, so I just lied to her. Told her I didn't. I didn't want her to dump me.
In the end, the guilt was too much. She called me an angel, said I was perfect. I knew I wasn't. I was lying to her and deceiving her. I couldn't do that any more. I had to tell her the truth. She took it badly, far worse than I expected. I had expected her to yell at me, get angry at me. Make me feel bad. What happened was infinitely worse. I crushed her self-esteem, made her feel she wasn't good enough for me, and I broke her heart. I've tried again and again to tell her that I love her and how much she means to me... But nothing helped. Things were never the same again.
Things were particularly bad for the month or so. In her hurt, she did something to hurt me (And I won't say what that was). Things were awful, but slowly they started getting better. Never as good as they were, though.
Then she was sent to Nelson. There's an earlier journal about this. Things just got worse from then. I thought I could manage a long distance relationship, but things just got worse and worse. At first, we could only talk through txt and the lack of emotion just made things worse. I found out about how she hurt me, things still got worse and worse. We tried to talk on the phone as much as possible, which helped, but it cost me a lot.
In October, I went up to visit her. In the last 6 months, this is the only time I was ever truly happy. Seeing her again was wonderful.
But recently, things have been getting worse. I began to wonder if we really were right for each other. It seemed we would just argue, I was almost ignoring her, she was getting jealous of little things and it wasn't that often that we were happy together. Things were getting worse and worse.
About a week ago, I met someone else. She made me happy and I started falling in love with her but I refused to do anything. I would not hurt Emma again. But... last night. I told her what had been going on and she took it horribly.
We've been talking since then and we agreed it might be best if we took a break. Just for a month. I don't know if I can last that long. I love Emma more than anything in the whole world and I don't know if I can live without her... but if there's a chance she'll be happier without me, I want her to know that. I want her to be happy, I just hope I haven't done the wrong thing... I'm so scared that I have.

So yeah. Now you know what's going on. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them. If you have any advice, it would be much appreciated.

Emma, I know you're going to read this. I know you said I shouldn't say this, but I have to. I love you, and I always do. And I'm always going to be here for you. If you don't want to wait a month, that's okay.



On a totally different note, I broke the top-E string on my guitar. ;.;

Well, at the moment, a whole bunch of weird crap is going on in my life. And no, I won't explain it to you. Most of it is stuff I really would rather not talk about.
Don't worry. I'll work something out. I'll be okay.

But yeah. I'll post some sort of writing eventually.

2007 is, so far, not much better than 2006. Although Steve Irwin didn't die this year, so that's a plus. And hopefully, Emma will move down to Dunedin again this year.

No, I'm not questioning why I exist and such. I'm questioning why I write SKI. I have about five readers, yet it's one of the things I most enjoy writing. I'm currently working on the 53rd part of it, despite having next to nobody read it. In fact, very few people read anything I write.

It's been my ambition since I was about nine. I'm currently pursuing a degree in physics, because physics is one of my passions (Yes, I'm a nerd) but even that isn't really as important to me as my dream to be a writer, yet it seems that dream is fading away. I don't know if I'm a bad writer or what but for some reason, very few people read what I'm writing. *sigh*

Maybe I should just give up. I dunno. Any advice anyone?

But seriously though. I bought Blind Guardian's A Twist in the Myth. Man it's good. Blind Guardian have proven once again that they are, indeed awesome. 3π/10, obv. I need to listen to it more though.

Plus, I got Dream Theater's Score. I'm listening to it now. Seriously, I think I just creamed my pants, it's so good. It's the first Dream Theater live thing I've heard where James LaBrie actually sounds good. It's amazing! Seriously! He sounds great! And they've got an orchestra! The songs sound so good with an orchestra. The only problem with it is that they needed to do a couple of other songs, like In the Name of God and A Change of Seasons. Still. This gets 10e^iπ/10. OMG!

Oh, and, don't expect me to be on very much/at all for most of next week. I'm heading off to visit me girlfriend. Yay!

• Hug a Wani (Wanis need hugs too)


• Do something totally random and stupid


• Make an ass of yourself by saying something stupid that makes no sense and possibly has words in the wrong parts of sentences (I personally made an ass of myself in front of my chemistry lecture)


• Give me presents. <_< >_> Well it is my birthday...


• Say a big loud "CRIKEY!" in honour of Steve Irwin

More to come as I think of them. Time to mess around in town!

(And yes, I am determined to make this some sort of internet holiday. I'll probably fail though. *Cry!*

CRIKEY! ]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/10127794/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/10127794/ Tue, 19 Sep 2006 23:10:17 PDT Yeah. My birthday is tomorrow (NZT), 21st of September. Woo! International Wani Day!

Um. I might have some sort of poetry or something like that up here soon. It depends on if I can get the right motivation to write it. I have inspiration but yeah. Oh, and tons of homework to do. ]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/10075362/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/10075362/ Thu, 14 Sep 2006 21:35:42 PDT the SKI website and read it there.

But yeah, I've been having fun with continuing SKI. I'm about half-way through my rewrite of SKI 1 and nowhere near through whatever the latest SKI is.

So anyway. READ SKI! I'll be posting the rewrites on here. ]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/10044399/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/10044399/ Mon, 11 Sep 2006 20:43:28 PDT Except we don't have the internet yet. I'll tell you when we get it, but until then, I can only go online at uni. Which kinds sucks but oh well.

Anyway. I'm in a computering lab so I better get to work. Bye! ]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/9957598/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/9957598/ Sun, 03 Sep 2006 23:27:17 PDT
Although last week, I did fulfill one thing on it, of feeding a Mexican walking fish, added to the list a few seconds before I did it.

Anyway... I better get going... RIP, Crocodile Hunter. All Wanis everywhere shall miss you.

Kinda ironic it wasn't a croc that got him... ]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/9925674/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/9925674/ Fri, 01 Sep 2006 02:39:38 PDT

Some of you may know, I have tons of characters running around so, well... Some of them, you won't have heard of. If you read SKI, you should know some of them. And as for the rest... well well well.

Choose twelve of your original characters in any particular order (NO PEEKING AT THE QUESTIONS AT THIS STAGE!). Then, answer the questions that follow and don't forget to tag a couple of people when you're finished.

1. Mike Anderson
2. Dharma White
3. Rita Henderson
4. Amy Henderson
5. James Fisher
6. Tom Bain
7. Ashura Kemantari
8. Andrea Pansworth
9. Deborah
10. Claire
11. Syaroun
12. Garuda

01)Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Being an omniscient deity, Syaroun would obviously be the best choice... So yeah, he could teach just about anything but probably religious studies or something. Tom would teach psychology. Although he would also be effective, seeing as he can read minds and stuff. Find out if people are learning effectively.

02) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?
Hell yeah. Dharma's the hottest character in SKI. Well, good person. Olivia comes in second.

03) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Considering they don't come from either universe... Garuda would probably send Andrea to get some food or something from the corner store. It wouldn't succeed because she's up herself (With good reason, she's the friggin' queen) and would send someone else.

04) What is or would be 9's favorite book?
The Cat in the Hat. She can't read.

05) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Nope. Both are too cocky.

06) For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Either way, I'm in!
Deborah. She's the hotter and less likely to turn him into a vampire.

07) 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Probably just a fast food place. Somewhere Dharma can afford, Ashura can remain undercover and Garuda doesn't eat anyway, being dead, so doesn't care anyway. They would probably wind up discussing Ashura's secret identity.

08) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Rita refuses to believe Claire is a vampire. Claire, well, proves Rita wrong. Claire wins.

09) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would she/he get it back?
Probably send the Mirean police force to get it back. Andrea's the queen. She can do these things.

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
Oh hell... Ashura and Garuda... I've got no idea, really. Because the two are pretty content with how they are. "Ashura and Garuda stop some bad guy". There.

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Starting any old story. The two always work together! But if they had a fight, I suppose Mike could use mind control or something...

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Pretty well, provided I don't try to poke into his secret identity.

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Sit my exams for me. (Those who read SKI, which should be all of you <_<, will know that she's a genius)

14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
Nobody knows the true face of Syaroun... So no.

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Ooh... That's tricky... Amy's one of her best friends and James is her boyfriend... Probably James though.

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
Not a lot. She's a quiet person.

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
I have no idea...

18) 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Garuda's a ghost so why is he even reaching for it? He can't eat! Tom would use somg ZOMG psychic powers which are more powerful than Mike's and wi... ]]> ~Waniou http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/9891725/ http://Waniou.deviantart.com/journal/9891725/ Tue, 29 Aug 2006 02:24:34 PDT Snakes on a Plane today. Best movie ever. Seriously. Everyone should see it. I give it a tan(π/2)/10.

I wonder how many people actually try to find out what my ratings given using advanced mathmatical functions actually mean...

So yeah. I've been having lots of fun with my personal life. Not that you want to know. I have a week off from uni and I plan to spend it being horribly emo and depressed.

Lots of fun. Snakes on a Plane was great though. ]]> ~Waniou
