has already posted about it in detail and with an enthusiasm that my straight-laced standard English journal posting voice could not communicate. Also she has more friends than me who will read about it and be genuinely more interested in the topic than if I posted about it.

But in short, she's coming over in about two days and I'm so happy and excited and pleased, and we will have an amazing time!

...But that's not even why I was going to post. This was it:

Tagged by

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs!

1. I just finished my last year of Sixth Form College; in the UK these are the years of education for 16-18 year olds. Next term I hope to be at University.

2. On my fridge I have a variety of nerdy fridge magnets. Notably, Doctor Who, Phoenix Wright and Transformers. There's also a whiteboard for family messages. Currently some of those messages include:
"LOOK FOR TRILOBITES + SEARCH FOR SPOCK"
"More ice tea?" said by an obedient Ood
"TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!" as commanded by an objecting Phoenix Wright.

3. I have lost count of the amount of giraffe plushies, ornaments, paintings, posters and other decorative paraphenalia I currently own. Recent estimates suggest it is a statistic upwards of 30.

4. I got a laptop at Christmas to take with me to uni, but the screen is messed up and keeps blacking out at odd intervals. A consumer rights inquiry is pending.

5. For my 17th birthday my siblings bought me a "paint your own" snowman shaped mug. I painted it after

's Rohan cosplay. It is Snowhan Kishibe.

6. [link]
...This counts as a fact, right?

7. I can't stand listening to 90% of music that falls outside the borders of the genre, "70s/80s classic mullet rock" and/or "cheesy power ballads" of the same period. Music that isn't cheesy really turns me off.

8. I love the Northern English dialect but I hardly ever speak in it.

For the other stages of this meme:
- Pretend I know eight people
- Pretend those eight people will read this
- You may pretend you are one of them, and if you wish, you may pretend you were tagged.

See how we're all having fun using our imagination?

Alright, so things aren't so bad anymore, so I thought I'd post. Uhh, but, I've nothing really to say. It's the holidays now, but I've got lots of work to get along with... Which I should be doing now, but blatanly, am not. Oh well. I've still not been largely inspired to write a new segment... What, no one reads this journal either way. But still, when I promise a segment, I want to deliver a segment. If it weren't for school work, I think I'd be very willing to write one right now. Anyway, I'm going to be good and get on with some work now. Maybe by the end of the week I'll have a segment for you. We'll see.

I still have a lot of work to do for everything. I'm actually feeling a bit more positive about Graphics even though I have no time in which to finish it. I somehow don't think my results will be as bad as I thought, providing I can finish it. And I've really been thinking about my writing recently. I had my careers interview in which I had to say, "I wanna be a sky pirate-- uh, writer." so my PT was suggesting I try to get my work published. That means I have to write stuff. But I thought it might just be good to try and write at all, and then maybe enter some competitions and things just to see how I do.

Anyway, enough brain ramble, have some disturbing JoJo doodles:

A bit of parenting.

SBR + Twinings tea...

I have like 38 pages of that kind of thing total, but don't worry, next week I'll have written a real JoJo segment. I won't give up. Please wait patiently for it.

And I also did that question meme thing that you can find here: [link]

1. Name something you have in common with natchan?
We hate Roy Mustang and Kakashi. They suck.

2. If roruchet and hulnic-faiaug teamed up, what would they most likely accomplish?
From what I've heard, a performance of the song 'Bratja' with piano accompanyment.

3. Who is finally-free's best friend?
I presume his girlfriend. Or his yoyo. Or both.

4. What is one thing best-ninja-ever isn't exactly made for?
Everything that doesn't directly or indirectly involve rape.

5. Describe best-ninja-ever in one word.
..."Rape"

6. How would gabbi insult gabbi?
"I don't need you in my life anymore!" I don't know, how would one insult themself?

7. caffnine got turned into an animal! What animal is it?
"A wild caffnine appears!!" I don't know. Maybe a pangolin or something weird.

8. What do you think about gabbi?
Were I unwed I would take her in a manly fashion.

9. roruchet just got vaporized in a freak accident. Now what?
"Why God, why?? Take mee~"
I like how it's just "Now what." It's like, "Well, shit."

10. What musical instrument would roruchet most likely play?
Uh, a recorder. Because of Pyuu to Fuku! Jaguar.

And a bonus question:

This week sees the last EVER Dio tip. Next week we'll have something new. Look forward to it.

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?
THIS WEEK'S TIP:

We have all come a long way since the beginning of our fantastically long lives; whether a Chinese fortune teller accurately predicted how long or not is irrelevant: we lived long and we lived well. Throughout the years we have changed dramatically, from a human to a vampire, to a dead vampire, to a little green baby, and finally, into a poncy jockey who marries aging widows so as to inherit their fortune. Yet, despite the fluxuations and flippancies, we have all kept one thing in common: the universal hatred of people whose names begin with 'Jo'! Remember, try it the Dio Brando way: Love life, live life, wear bright yellow and always torture people with 'Jo' in their names!

Vampires, like all creatures, must learn to accept when they are beat. Of course, being much superior creatures, this does not happen often for vampires. However, this week, why not be like Dio, and learn to accept your failings? After all, we have all been so unexplicably surprised by our defeat that we cried at least once in our lives, especially when a twelve-year-old built like a train punched us repeatedly in the face.

Immortality can be tiring. It can be hard to be the world's undisputedly most fabulous being all the time. This week, why not be like Dio: take a holiday from your reign of terror, to relax and unwind. I hear that the depths of the Atlantic Ocean are nice this time of year.

A true lord of vampyrric supremecy knows that a sub-par display of wickedness is... well, futile. As such, when plotting your enemy's demise, it's always a good idea to think big. And to Dio, bigger is better. This week, pull out all the stops: snatch twenty or so knives and throw not a one less at your fumbling foe; your efforts will be fruitful. After all, to a vampire, it's not so much 'excess' as 'success'!

The undeniable superior of humanity is a being filled with awe and an unparalleled charisma.... ]]> ~eijis-pudding Sarcastic Nuts & Nuts http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/16706084/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/16706084/ Sun, 03 Feb 2008 11:55:03 PST
I think I enjoyed Primeval too much yesterday. Especially action Steven jumping into the canal with a machine gun and a pistol, swimming after the giant ninja seal tadpole things. Yeah.

Anyway, I did some meme like ages ago so I'm gonna lump them in this journal since there's nothing else doing.

I need some lineart for an English Language coursework. I'd rather use one with permission rather than use say a general lineart or a manga lineart or something. If anyone has anything I'd be grateful for it. The sooner the better if you think you might be able to help. Thanks in advance.

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?
THIS WEEK'S TIP:

The undeniable superior of humanity is a being filled with awe and an unparalleled charisma. However, the malevolent soul has a duty to emit a sense of pervading evil at all times. This week, why not be like Dio: smelling evil is not simply a hygiene defficiency, but a tribute to your beautiful malice that you, like Dio, may use to perturb street punks and nobility alike!

Although Vampires are easily typecast as ' perfection ', this obviously cannot be true: like lesser beings, vampires, too, have a fatal weakness, and vampires are prone to making the occasional mistake. This week, why not accept your shortcomings as part of your fabulous self? After all, anyone could confuse fire for their adoptive brother - especially if said fire is shrouded behind a curtain and dripping blood. Might one say such a deception is damn convincing.

A vampire is, funnily enough, a welcoming soul. One such as an almightly lord of humanity should not judge based on some fussy uniform policy. This week, why not try it the Dio Brando way: Encorage your minions to wear whatever they feel comfortable in, even if that means a leotard with no pants. Less is more, as they say!

Being a vampire, bodily fluids are, obviously, an important matter. Like Dio, you may need to learn the importance of storing and using these fluids to your advantage.

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?
THIS WEEK'S TIP:

Being a vampire, bodily fluids are, obviously, an important matter. Like Dio, you may need to learn the importance of storing and using these fluids to your advantage. This week, why not try concentrating your fluids into a high powered eye-beam? Once you've mastered the basics, Space Ripper Stingy Eyes could be the very tool which leads you to your greatest desire, so it's important to know how much fluid you can store in your decapitated form!

Like a flower, a vampire is a graceful and elegant thing. However, unlike a flower, a vampire is undead. You may think that roses decorating your lair is a befitting and beautiful aid to your dandy image, so this week, be like Dio and choose foliage to suit your wickedly wonderful personality. Even if some low-class hamon users try to use them as projectiles against you, you can always rip them to shreds and feed them to your zombie pals.

Random and unexplained powers were all the rage back in Victorian England. This week, remember Dio's list of abilities when thinking on how to compose your own. The ability to freeze your enemy upon contact is a somewhat useful and yet mysterious ability, that, including the fact that it was forgotten later, only adds to the enigma of your nefarious character!

I had a great birthday, my siblings bought loads of random things for me like a huge raptor plush that roars (I called it Diego), a scary bratz pony that looks alarmingly like Kakyoin, and a paint your own snowman mug. So I could turn it into Snowhan Kishibe. They also got me an Optimus Prime birthday card that says "7 today!". You wouldn't think I was 17, but there you go.

The new year hasn't really set in and this isn't good. I have three exams this coming week and I can't really seem to shake myself into work. I've still not done all the work and revision I should have, and as if that wasn't bothersome enough, I can't stay awake enough to do them. I also have a collab to finish and I just don't have the time right now. So I don't know if you'll see me around much these coming 2 weeks til everything cools down again.

Finally, "Why not try it the Dio Brando way?" will resume next Friday as normal. Once it reaches its fourtieth entry, I may change it for another segment. Opinions and suggestions welcome.

And just to round the year off, I'm gonna do a meme I saw on

's LJ a while ago, using the dA journal.

"End of year meme:
Take the first sentence of the first post of every month"

January:
"So, Christmas has been and gone, I hope you all had a great time."

February:
"AHHH ORANGE MOBILE WTF!"

March:
"I'm gonna whirl you up into my heart~"

April:
"For a while I've felt down because I've been concerned about my writing."

May:
"Hola mis amigos."

June:
"Deedeedee doo [PAUSE] Deedeedeedee doo [PAUSE]"

July:
"Muh, okay I'll update."

August:
"By now you must be wondering, (there presuming anyone still reads this at all) "Why do you even bother posting?""

September:
"...the geeks call it 'lol', the sociable call it 'L-O-L'."

October:
"British guy on the Adam West Batman movie was so British."

November:
"Fun fact: A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find Phoenix."

December:
"Winamp playlist needs more Queen."

There's about one hour til new year in England now. Which is approx. 25 hours til my birthday. Anyway~ Have a good new year!

Some Christmas Stuff

My final present to you all this christmas is a cessation of the consistent spam of your message inbox (the best present yet!) Well! Have a merry christmas, everyone, and don't forget Dio over this festive season. He'll miss you. And remember, NEVER play with the christmas pineapple. You'll live to regret it.

My family are now all set for christmas! We even have a beautiful Starpla atop the tree.

I got to eat Crispy cakes today. And I cried tears of joy.

Term is finally over! Now to get into the mad rush of shopping. Yay.

CARD UPDATE
All cards safely posted. You can't expect them for christmas, but you CAN expect them soon.

So anyway, my internets was fixed last Saturday as I thought it would. But last Saturday, something of a greater importance occurred so I forgot to edit. Anyway I went shopping and guess what I found? JoJo Part 3 figures, right there in the shop! I didn't have enough for all of them, but I got Jotaro (who was in a set with Iggy and Star Platinum) I'm desperate to go back and buy the rest if they're still there. We're probably going on Sunday so I can go and see.

Oh right, this week is the last week for the Dio tip. It's going to take a break over Christmas like all other good segments. Instead from the 12th onwards look forward to the Dio Brando festive Advent segment.

Edit: I just re-read my old GP fic (the one with the hair monster) and I realised that I'm going through a phase of "Damn my old crap was good". That aside, I realised that my original writing piece this time is pretty much the same story. Basically that means I can draw off my old formula to help me with my crappy new piece. I don't know, I just had to share that revelation with the world.

But this doesn't mean that I'm telling the truth all the time.
I can be sarcastic, I can lie, I can prank you, or I can just tell the truth!

But these are the rules:

- If you ask something you have to post it in your own journal.

There's a spider crawling on the wall. It's moving really slowly and probingly, kind of like a disembodied hand clawing itself towards its body. They are so creepy.

Coursework (and graphics by Monday) is over with. I have to do my second draft for lang but not yet. Otherwise I'm free now to do as I please... I mean revise, until exams in January.

I got my sims game to work. Jotaro/Jotaro house is set up. Now I'm making a house with Grampa in it so he can bug them.

The Phantom Blood game and swap magic arrived, and it is something special, even if the battle system sucks. It is worth every penny if only for Speedwagon's pained cry of "JOOOOOOOESTAAAAAAAR-SAAAAAAAAAAN!" every time you die.

Coursework has begun, I think I'm gonna fail. If only because there's not even time to do it at college and I'm too distracted at home. Even if I try to buckle down to graphics, they never like what I do. Week before half term = "Try experiments with negative space" This week = "Negative space experiments are too predictable." and this if from the same tutor.

Art waifu, Joseph and Joseph, let me know what needs to be done and when.
If I get to a significant number of Dio Tips, maybe I can make them into 'deviations' somehow. What do you think / suggest?

My hair's falling out. Old age or stress? Think carefully before you answer that.

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

THIS WEEK'S TIP:

For even a most fabulous being as yourself, irony is a factor of fate. Like Dio, the trait most despised in parents is probably liable to be inherited, so keep that in mind this week as you learn to be your own person. So you hate your father's drinking problem. Ironically, you may find yourself with a rather serious 'drinking problem' yourself.

Being a vampire, you are one who fully knows your own importance. Celebrating and acknowledging your fabulous self needn't take a large display; it can be a part of every day villainy! Such menial things as rape and torture are those that you needn't soil your vampyrric cuffs with - so be like Dio and, this week, flaunt your importance by flaunting your influence. Personally seeing to such commonplace offences is not befitting to your status, after all!

The food chain has always been a constantly changing, confused web. Those detestable humans often think themselves to be atop it, although vampires and super-vampires know this to be false. Humans are the only beings to wrongly assume their superiority - so when it comes to those who aid your plight, why let these big-headed imbeciles get in the way? This week, be like Dio and look to your animal friends for support - some are so loyal they'll be found to follow your fabulous dress code!

Life getting you down? Dio knows how to vent stress in a successful and productive way: battle cries. While being a shout which displays your superiority and intimidates your nemesis, battle cries have a deeper, psychological effect on the crier. This wonderfully audible expression of superiorty does wonders for your self esteem! Why not be like Dio this week and point out how absolutely futile and insignificant everyone else's existances are - while reminding yourself of the importance of yours!

As technology is improving every day, more and more ways to commit that wonderful villainy flourish. It is true, some people make their money in secrecy, deceit and lies, but Dio knows the value of the traditional approach. This week, be like Dio and take pride in your scheming: unashamedly chase that one dream of making lives miserable, after all, a hundred years is far too short to spend trying to keep track of what lies you've told and to whom; and who wants to be remembered for practising evil while sneaking around in the dark like a coward?

Life can be pretty good for those at the top. And nothing can beat the status of having transcended humanity. Why not be like Dio this week, and indulge yourself after all your hard work? Don't forget to ask your inferiors to pass you your strewn limbs like a first-class flight attendant.

Everyone gets headaches; even vampires are not impervious to such pain, especially when the common cause is thought to be people of a lesser status to oneself 'mouthing off' as they call it these days, in the face of their obvious superior. Dio, of course, knows there is always a remedy. This week, take a leaf out of this Victorian Vampire's book: relieve that tension in your temple by stabbing through it with your super-powered finger - after all, everyone knows that headaches are cured by drilling... ]]> ~eijis-pudding Back home now http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/15278715/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/15278715/ Mon, 29 Oct 2007 19:42:27 PDT
Also I have issues, and one of them is that nobody is interested in my writing. That's why I don't do it any more. Well I do, I just don't show people. Anyway, my journal content gets shorter each week 'cause of this. It's like, "I'll let you know when I'm ACTUALLY interesting."

Oh yeah, my brother got me the Phantom Blood game after all, I'm pleased!

What a hectic week. PC dying, the new one, not getting to go on, college, brother coming home... ugh. And no sims and no tablet. I am disturbingly keen on the idea of starting a brand-new game of the sims (with the objects I've saved maybe) with no other houses but a Jotaro-and-Jotaro house.

Before anyone jumps in with the idea of "Now we know who Jolyne's mommy is!" I have to say the child of Jotaro Kujo and Jotaro Kujo is, undeniably, Jotaro Kujo.

And I nearly typed "anyone" as "NYO". Gyro has haxx my keyboard. On with the Dio tip, eh, chaps?

Talk to you soon.

EDIT: MY PC DIED ON SATURDAY NIGHT. Like completely kicked it, for no reason while it was running just, poof, died. It wouldn't start up again afterwards. Fear not, my dad said we're getting a brand new one, but it will be about a week til we can get it. But that's the reason why, to anyone who might have missed me, I wasn't on MSN when I usually would have been. Until we have our new PC it is unlikely that good, thorough updates (I mean the Dio tip here) will be posted and no MSN use. I will only have the college PCs to last me, so some comments may get replied to if I have the time. Sorry guys, I'll miss you, and hopefully I'll get my PC back soon.

For this week we have categories.

1. Acquired:
Giraffe T-shirt from dad, Bracelet from Sami

2. Achieved:
Read all of Spiral, got an A in Lit and Lang for essays, a state of no homework.

3. Watched:
Heroes, Supernatural, Avatar, JoJo OVA 2, 300

I'll try to sum up my week in 100 words only:

College is long and tiring, yet a week passes so quickly. The time I didn't spend there or on surplus homework, I spent playing Hotel Dusk and finishing watching to the end of last season's anime. As much as it wears me down, my lessons are really fun and I have time to read in between classes; I like college. Oh, when I got home today I managed to break my door. My key snapped off in the lock and we couldn't get it out- all fixed now! In general, I am well, although tired, and I miss you all.

Now the Dio tip.

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

THIS WEEK'S TIP:

Being an evil overlord means that you have a certain image to preserve, and that image must be a striking one. So you've got your bright yellow jacket and chaps, green heart accessories, the works. But Dio knows that making an impression isn't just style - this week, choose practical items of clothing for your infamous appearance - like fabulous clown shoes! Although the practical use of clown shoes has yet to be discovered, they're so curly that they must do a vampire good!

A good villain is a thorough villain. In this day and age of henchmen and easily manipulated stand users, it's easy to forget that, as the saying goes, "if you want something done properly, you have to do it yourself." Dio is no stranger to the methodical approach to villainy - why not take after Dio this week and take care to do things properly; put your head to the ground to check for someone's heartbeat, and, if unsure, a roadroller ought to flatten your doubts about their survival (along with your enemy of course!)

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

THIS WEEK'S TIP:

Everyone has dreams. Some people have had lifelong dreams right from childhood that they pursue. It is important, however, to realise that not all dreams come true and, as Dio knows, it is important to set up for a future without your treasured dream. This week, be like Dio and prepare yourself for the future - taking seven or so years off your lifelong dream of being evil to get a law degree can only be sensible. You never really know if a stone mask will turn you into a vampire or not until it happens, so be prepared for a regular job.

So imagine you've been submerged in the sea in your coffin with only the body of your adoptive brother / rival / best friend for company for over one hundred years. Sure, there's only so much a corpse can do for you; a hundred years is a very long time and vampires have needs. Sure, sustainance and food is important, but vampires have NEEDS.

"Speedwago~n"

College: one week down, two more years to go.

The majority of this week's thoughts are "College is long, evenings are for reading 10 mins worth of SBR and spam from ~Roruchet keeps me sane." Yes, sane. There's a bit too much free time in college; in fact, it's quite discomforting. I won't feel that way when I have nothing but homework to do, I'm sure, but for now I'm going mad.

I always say this, but I have this feeling like I want to do something really impressive. All it feels like I'm doing anymore is trying to stay awake at the right times and try to at least contribute something to lessons, but I'm not even very good at that. I'm not inspired to write any more, not even about roadroller guy.

I want to cosplay as moe!Jonathan, but I don't know where to start. Where do I get an adorable Victorian-style suit from?

ALSO: *You don't have to know what I'm on about to play*
If you had to choose an animal to represent a family named "Zeppeli", what would it be? Any animal besides Giraffes welcome, and if you read this PLEASE suggest something, it'll really help!

I got some new Giraffes today, this time it's another big and small pair, so I'm still undecided about what to name them. I'm thinking either a second Joseph with Shizuka, or changing the names to Jonathan and Giorno and finding new names for the older plushies. Such a hard thing to decide.

Okay, another late weekly update. I think I should stick with Fridays now anyhow; I get Friday afternoon off and every other week I only have to go in for one and a half lessons. So I guess Friday will be my recharging day.

This week I did some more colouring and found a theme generator for me to try out. I'm trying to write a short fanfic for the first five parts of JoJo's using these. No luck so far; I did doodle Stiles and Edgeworth!cat, and stickfigure kono!Dio on a kono!roadroller on the same page I wrote the themes on though, if that counts.

I finished the promised collab between ~Roruchet and I, which I'm going to post in a minute or two.

Also I started reading Steel Ball Run finally, but I'm not very far yet. It's awesome though, like the rest of JoJo's. I tell myself that after reading even a bit of SBR you have an excuse to find jokes about balls funny when they're really not.

Oh yeah, I just realised that I got over 4,000 pageviews. Did no one get it again? (I have 4,018) That's good. Now it's cheap art of my choice! Look out for my thank you picture soonish.

Next is the Dio section... Have fun and be well, everyone!

So Gurren-Lagann, we watched up to date this week. It's awesome. When I got up yesterday I put my fringe over my eye. My brother was like, "Don't be an emo." and I said, "Shut up you stupid human, I'm not an emo, I'm Viral."
Then later I was eating cereal and smashing up the biscuit with the spoon and my brother asked what I was eating. I said, "Beastmen need to start the day too," and he said "With Weetabix? Wouldn't you rather eat a banana, you damn furry!" so I said "I'm not a naked ape like you!"
And THEN this morning he said, "So if you're Viral, do I need to grow a scorpion tail and bitchslap you?" but the thought of my brother becoming Adiane forced no comprehensible response from me.

And I really wanna cosplay Simon and get my brother to be Kamina somehow. I feel that it would be epic on so many levels.

Got my college induction day tomorrow, so today I went around town with mum and my brother to buy some things. I got some uber notebooks, one for each class, that I'm totally gonna spiff up with my gold star transfers. I also got a little plush duck (Kwakyoin) and a plush buffalo because it was cute.

Other than that, the week just passed really quickly. We got some new games, Tokobot +, Godhand and Digital Devil Saga 2. I haven't played any of them though.

I'm planning to write some short, JoJo random theme fics. Who wants to bet I won't get around to doing it? Watch this space.

The journal is late this week, and there's a few good reasons.

Pretty much the day after my last dA journal I started using my livejournal a lot. I changed it all around and I love using it now. My entries were pretty much daily, but I'm going for a less frequent post rate from now on.

Last week was my parent's holiday and as much as I tried to go and do something with them, I couldn't. I realised that I hadn't been sleeping so well, probably due to stress about my exam results and college.

I wrote another JoJo fic, this time about Jotaro and Jolyne but it didn't turn out quite as I'd hoped (I wrote it when sleep-deprived) and so I'm considering re-working it. I also got some pictures to colour!

I started to come down with a cold over the weekend as well, thanks to a bug going around at my brother's workplace.

This Tuesday Nicy took me to the beach (in Wales!) to find resources for a project at a potential college. We had fun collecting things and taking photos. I found a stick and wrote WRRRYYYYY in the sand, then we ate raspberry RIPPLE ice cream and on the way home we saw a roadroller. It was a Dio day. Listening to the radio in the car on the way back was amusing too, they kept playing a clip of some kid saying "I like turtles."

On Wednesday, I got my hair cut. I really like it. Pictures will be on MSN or LJ (locked entry.)

Today I got my results for my GCSE exams. I did extremely well and I'm proud of myself. It means I get to go to my first choice of college, and it's great because Nicy's going there too! We're going to enroll tomorrow. I got an A* for history which means I can potentially write a really historically accurate Steel Ball Run fic, if I ever read Steel Ball Run.
Because it's Nicy's birthday (Happy Birthday!) we went to Manchester with Natchan and Sami and went shopping. Nicy was dressed in her new full Goth-Loli outfit she got for her birthday and she looked awesome. We had a few good fandom arguments / discussions whilst there; it's quite alarming how different our manga tastes are. I hoped I wasn't being to pushy about JoJo's... I was trying not to talk about it that much, but it seemed like I just got pushed back onto it again and again. I hate being like that. I gave Nicy the scanlations of the first 3 parts too, so I hope I don't put her off with how I was acting today.

I guess that's this week wrapped up. Now for the Dio section:

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

THIS WEEK'S TIP:

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to travel up the down escalator. Like Dio, why not force this confusing exercise unto your enemies- using normal stairs! This is surely... ]]> ~eijis-pudding Cha-cha-cha-Chariot! Cha-cha-cha-Chariot! http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/14153756/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/14153756/ Mon, 13 Aug 2007 17:58:09 PDT
So last week I spoke of potential JoJo fanfic. This week I can say that I wrote one (and actually finished it) and it was recieved well, however the criticism I recieved put me off a little bit. I know it's shameful, but I think I'm okay with it now. Anyway, my next JoJo fic will be about Jotaro, when I think of something to write about. I probably won't post it here as with my last one.

The other thing I got to writing this week was filling in my little poetry book. Poetry is so hit and miss that even if I try writing every week of the year, I never know if I'm improving or even good at it. Since it's poetry, you don't want to show anyone because they'll (probably rightly) call you an emo. Even if you showed experienced writers or readers, they'd either make technical suggestions but withold the truth about the content or admit that they would never ever write poetry since it makes you look dumb and therefore cannot help you, but offer a half-baked opinion anyway, which usually leads you to question your writing whether the feedback is positive or negative. Now I'm going to say perhaps the most overused line by anyone who admittedly writes poetry and admittedly not to well: I have fun writing it, so what's the harm? At least I'm not posting them online these days.

I've also been trying out a new drawing style, one that's manly enough to draw JoJo fanart in. And no, no it hasn't worked. I thought I improved a lot last night, but my sister showed me her fanart today (and she's not even trying to make it manly or change her style or anything) and I felt ashamed pretty quickly. I'm still pretty desperate to colour something. I'd especially like to colour something JoJo related... *pauses beseechingly* no? Okay fine, but if anyone has something they want colouring cheaply, I'm always here.

I met with Natchan and Nicy on Friday as well. I do miss them, I was looking forward to it and everything, but I was pretty tired when I got there so I lamed out and left early. I'm sorry you guys! But Nicy got back from her holiday, bearing gifts of handmade gingerbread and a wonderful print of Wordsworth's poem "The Daffodils" from Grasmere! She seemed to have a good time on holiday, so that's good to hear. Natchan gave me her mudkip plushie since I tend to mention the meme a lot. My friends are so nice to me. We're meeting to watch Transformers on Wednesday. The holidays are nearly over, which is sad and scary, so we need to meet up more often.

Oh yes, I'm determined to get my hair cut either this week or next week. I will go through with it, I will!

That's all I guess... I want to do something JoJo like... I know, I'll take up vampire hunting! Take care guys, hope you're having a good summer. Now for my weekly Dio spot, this week inspired by my own brother's suggestion:

The tried and tested phrase "never say die" comes into Dio's little segment this week as... ]]> ~eijis-pudding *insert Dio lyrics here* http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/14062351/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/14062351/ Tue, 07 Aug 2007 15:46:19 PDT
The truth is, I like to write. Though god knows I have little faith in myself and my skills (especially while exam results are pending); I certainly don't practise very often. I guess this is all I even write any more.

I've felt a little bit swayed this week, so I might find myself writing that fanfic I promised myself. Should I go through with it, I doubt I'd post it here (don't worry uninterested, non-existant readers!) but should I actually develop myself any talent, and write anything borderlining on interesting, maybe I would post it.

Though that depends, I don't think I have the energy to write something that entertains anyone but me. And thus, my career lies in Librarianship. Good-oh.

On with what I did do this week, and let me say, you shouldn't read this if you have a weak heart. I had the most riveting adventure.

So I made sim skins of Kira and Yukako and made a house for them. I'm already bored of that. When my brother was around we played video games: Soul Calibur three in particular, attempting to make yet more forms of our JoJo obsession. Then I tried out fan art, but all my attempts for 'manly' came out 'moe'. Then I drew Kakyoin as a duck. The universe really needed this to happen, I'm certain.

Apart from that, I've arranged to meet with Nicy on Friday instead of tomorrow. I've already got plans for tomorrow: sleep. I got a new giraffe plush, his name is Jotaro. Next is Jolyne.

Yeah, so, that's been my week. Now I guess I'll find something enteraining and sit by it and maybe some of its power will rub off on me. Take care everyone, here's my weekly Dio spot:

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

THIS WEEK'S TIP:

Determination in life is key. The tried and tested phrase "never say die" comes into Dio's little segment this week as we recall that all great warriors never ever give up the fight, even when times are bad. This week, why not try adopting Dio's strong sense of determination - after all, why should you let something like decapitation stop you from achieving your ends?

A great man is one who is convincing without arguing fiercly. A greater man is one who can convince long dead soldiers to join his plight without really caring about their life stories and so makes something up when he explains WHY he brought them back to life. Why not be like Dio and stick two fingers up at history today?

This segment is all about trying new things and Dio is no stranger to experimentaion himself! Bored of vampires and dogs? Why not combine the two fabulously if you have the power to do so. Who cares if there's no adequatley explained reason behind it?... ]]> ~eijis-pudding Jump, Jump, JUMP ON THE TIGER! http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13951926/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13951926/ Tue, 31 Jul 2007 06:04:16 PDT some light can NEVER BE SEEN.

Oh, Dio, oh Dio-Dio.

Okay, on with it. It's been a short week and not much has happened.

Firstly, SIMMING NEWS!
- I made five part four skins completely:
Josuke, Okuyasu, Koichi, Mikitaka and Rohan

- I found meshes for the following [no, = part, h = head, b = body]
Yukako[4, hb] Trish[5, hb] Reimi[4,h]

- I will endeavour to make regardless:
Kira (part 4) [Maybe Kira's cute family]

- Skin grafting:
- I robbed Vanilla of his womanhood XD
- Tried giving Jonathan 'Joestar inherited looks' but it went odd.

Secondly, SIBLING NEWS!
Well I guess it's daily life news.
- Played Ghosty Ghosty Snap Snap with Bro... I think it's really called Project Zero but I never remember it's not as catchy. It's been a while, the game still creeps me out.
- Watched JoJo OVAs with Sis. They were really good! The fight with N'Doul was really funny.
- Going to let Bro read JoJos Vol. 8 when he gets up (if he hasn't already read it)
- I stayed up for 24hrs straight, then slept for 21 hours (fairly straight)

Thirdly, FRIEND NEWS!
- I haven't spoken to anyone online in a while.
- I went out with Natchan on Saturday. I bought cakes and a sketch book. We went back to her Grandparent's house and watched FMA. Natchan is awesome and she gave me her copy of Cooking Mama for DS.
- Got some Texts from Nicy, she's on holiday having fun! After her holiday we're going to go to the beach to collect things for an art project. Still, it's fun to go to the beach, right?

That's about all. Now for the weekly sections. If I can't think of an EBA dedication I'm dropping it as of next week. Hope you're all well!

EBA-Style Dedication!

Bored of vampires... ]]> ~eijis-pudding The OPH and the Deathly Hallows (NO SPOILS) http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13856105/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13856105/ Tue, 24 Jul 2007 06:51:16 PDT
My point therefore being: Yes, I read it all. My weekly journal is late because I was reading it and because of the OPH: The Obligatory Potter Hiatus. Obviously being the period of time between its release and having finished the book in which one avoids the internet so as not to be spoiled.

With that aside, I continue on to my weekly ramblings, to which I am more than happy to proceed with the failure of last Tuesday's Wagon-Roll still firmly imprinted in my mind.

Since that Tuesday, I met my task of skinning more characters from JoJo's bizarre adventure most readily. I cannot recall if I had mentioned my renewed determination in the project, but am delighted to announce I successfully skinned Dio and Vanilla Ice from part three some time during the week. In truth I had several doubts about their bodies, being unable to mesh, but I feel that I completed the task most admirably with what limited skills I have learned over the summer. I also have some issues with their heads- Part three Dio uses the same mesh as part one (which, admittedly, was never perfectly suitable) and it was not until much later that I realised that Dio's hair develops out of a curled mullet in part one into a most spiky form in part three. The mesh which he uses in my game reminds me much more of Araki's style as he draws Dio in part five or six. Vanilla's head mesh troubles me much less, but his face has become the failure; being made from a female head and texture, Vanilla looks almost unmistakably like a drag queen. But this, as you may know, could be considered a success in itself; when I announced to my sister my problem, she hesitated and answered, "What does the fact that Vanilla looks like a drag queen have to do with your sim skin?"
My other skinning triumphs from this point on are few: I managed to make a head for Rohan Kishibe of part four fame, found head and body meshes suitable for transformation into part five's Trish Una, and various other meshes I plan to use to make the school uniform from part four or as simple frames for the not dissimilar skanky and skinny gangster attire found in part five. For the most part I am satisfied with skins from part one and three and will probably not seek to make any others. The desirable and yet uncharted depths of part two's leg of the project have seen almost no development at all; I seek a much greater inspiration to attempt such a fabulous feat- this is one task that I do not dare to complete 'badly'.

In more news related to my new fandom, my brother has joined our ranks and already has read parts one and two. Due to numerous misgivings at the start of the week, I argued with my siblings over his continuation of reading part three. This, I soon realised was a mistake and my negative feelings which I so hastily expressed were beyond my control. I have not fallen from good terms with either of them (proving them to be more patient than I in such circumstances) and I hope soon to resolve the problem completely and ensure my brother's continued reading (if he has not done so already.)
I also began reading part six on Saturday morning, but only three volumes have been translated in total. I already love little Jolyne and I adore Jotaro ever more with each part he appears in, bless his little cap.

Oh yes, I discovered something about my fandom and the characters I tend to adore. Something has changed since JoJo's. Here's a quick run down of the types of characters I really love since JoJo's.

1. Those that are just down right Nice - think Josuke, ever caring for friends and relatives, despite his own criticisms of them, he tends to say these as a form of his affection FOR them, though he would not abide unkind attacks to those he loves.

2. Those that are 'spazzy' or just insane - think Joseph, his charming hyperactivity and outgoing personality. Beneath his obvious and perhaps uncouth manner of speech and actions, his overwhelming adoration of those around him make him ever so endearing.

3. Those that are victims of foul luck, and yet keep strong - think Polnareff or Speedwagon, always pushed aside or doubted, yet always determined to come through for their friends.

4. Those good-hearted grumps - think Jotaro, keeping his cold exterior because he doesn't know how to handle his feelings for others. Really he is a very sweet man.

But something that I once loved I now detest: girly men. JoJo's is so manly that I haven't even considered 'girly' males that I liked before. I didn't even realise what a change this is til I was looking for meshes for skinning, and I kept seeing men in dresses on... ]]> ~eijis-pudding He got the action, he got the motion, http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13773032/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13773032/ Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:32:51 PDT That song was in my head.

Anyhow, a little bit of an edit. And GiP! (although I don't need to POST for that, everyone needs to pay attention to my man train!)

I don't think I mentioned the little tortoises my brother brought back as souvenirs from Lanzarote. He got a grey one for mum and a smaller blue one for sis. His intention is that they are representative of Edmond and Gankutsuou (being the last thing he watched before his holiday) but as soon as we saw them, sis and I knew they should be a different type of unlucky French tortoise... Polnareff! But, it's no use arguing with James as he hasn't read JoJo's yet, and even if he did, he would have been spoiled for part 5 from the offset.
And I'm still not really sure that I want him to read it. I don't know if this happens with other people... but I get possessive with a series that I like, so I don't want other people I know to like it too because it lessens the enjoyment I get from it. This doesn't happen with my sister, she always probably gets me into liking something, but it does happen with my brother. In fact in a few cases we've made a point of disliking each other's favourite characters so that we could argue about both of us liking the same series.
JoJo's is so awesome, I don't even think there'll be an issue with him reading it at all... I just realised that I really want to read it too. I'm still putting off reading part 6 because there's only about 3 volumes translated in total; part 7 has 4 volumes. But I'm getting kind of restless... see, I had so much fun reading parts 1-5 and I felt really happy, but now I'm awake all alone playing JoJo sims or trying to draw fanart really cheaply... and it doesn't feel as fun.
And I was happy to do this because I still had residual feelings of awesomeness from when I last read JoJo's... but the feeling of bored, useless lameness... the total lack of awesome is just taking over. And I can't fight this feeling anymore, I've forgotten what I started fighting for. It's time to sail this ship into the shore and throw away the oars forever. So I think I'm gonna keep on reading it, even if I run out altoghether, 'cause I can't fight this feeling anymore, I've forgotten what I started fighting for and if I have to... crawl upon the floor, come crashing through your door, baby I can't fight this feeling anymore. Although, afterwards, I don't know what I'll do when the buzz from reading it wears off. Probably then you can exepect some crazy, nonsensical journals, because I'll be going out of my mind. I might even fabricate entire journals just to get that occasional JoJo reference in there. If that's the case it probably won't matter too much, since chances are not many people would still be reading my journals anyway. But prove me wrong, if you're reading this and didn't skip any, you've just been 'Wagon-rolled and therefore are obliged to comment, at least to tell me what a loser I am.

Okay, I hope you're all well, now for my weekly sections (not changed since the edit.)

EBA-Style Dedication!

I present a dedication to Speedwagon, who is so often overlooked:
"And if you say run, I'll run with you,
And if you say hide, we'll hide.
Because my love for you
Will break my heart in two,
If you should fall into my arms,
Tremble like a flower."

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

THIS WEEK'S TIP:

Life is always better from a new perspective. This week, why not try the Dio Brando viewpoint: Looking down on others as you hang upside down from the ceiling? It implies your superior status as... ]]> ~eijis-pudding He got the action, he got the motion, http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13759684/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13759684/ Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:46:56 PDT The song was in my head.

Okay, so this week has been full of something or nothing all the time, and I don't really have a lot to say about it.

Like, a week ago, I had an argument (I guess) with

and at the time and until about Wednesday I was pretty hurt even though I said I was fine. Now I have to say it's the opposite. I'm really feeling happy now and even if I suggested I couldn't stay friends with

anymore, we have been friends for ages, through all sorts of rubbish. Probably we'd just end up talking again even if I destroyed the PC with a chainsaw. So like, I just want to say there's no bad feelings at all and I'm actually feeling a lot better about myself than I have in a while. So we're all friends together, right?

Anyway, by about Wednesday I felt really inspired and compelled to complete my JoJo sim skins project when I found some more head meshes. Wouldn't you know it, I've actually completed a satisfactory (to me) set of Part 1 characters: JoJo, Dio, Erina, Speedwagon and Zeppeli. Most of the work was the heads, as I found a bunch of wonderful Victorian skins at other sites already. I only had to edit Zeppeli's outfit. I just wanted to say it because I'm proud of myself; I'm not really thinking about putting them up for download since the work I did was so minimal. My next mission is to make a Part 3 Dio to go with the existing part 3 skins that we downloaded. My real dream is to make passable part 2 skins, including Pillar men.

Well... that was my week. Exciting!
Of course, I have spent two or so days playing my Part 1 house. It's the most interesting house to play for me.

My brother came home today. We were really wondering when he was gonna come back, but here he is. He bought Chocobo Tales on DS for me, it's really cute! Chocobo themed mini games and Squeenix brand fables! Remember that classic tale of the Adamantoise and the Cactaur? Oh yes you do. *cough*Tortoise and hare*cough*

Another thing, I play JoJo's Venture and Bizarre Adventure with sis. Previously our favourite kind of fight is just playing as Jotaro and Dio and Ora-Ora-Muda-Muda fighting again and again... now we have a new favourite fight! On Venture, one is older Joseph and the other is Young Joseph and we have Overdrive-Overdrive fights.
Yeah, we're lame, but we suck at fighting games anyway, so it's the most fun way to play.

What's this? A new corner? NO! I just have to have a Speedwagon devotion! Here's my corners (I don't know if anyone ever reads this far... if you don't you'll probably feel glad this week) and as always, love, happiness, LUCK AND PLUCK be with you!

SPEEDWAGON CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE

"And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight,
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark, winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might...
AND I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE
I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT I STARTED FIGHTING FOR...
It's time to bring this ship into the shore and throw away the oars forever...
'CAUSE I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE
I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT I STARTED FIGHTING FOR...
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crashing through your door,
Baby, I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE!"

I tried to update last week (nothing important to say) but dA went into system maintainance between me starting the journal and finishing it.

Okay so Doctor Who finished last week. Pretty much it was a good episode and the Doctor is totally gay for the Master. I've heard shocking things about next year- the companion is supposedly going to be Catherine Tate (why??) and Martha is going to be in Torchwood (also why??) but I'll still watch it. Silly me. I saw episode 1 of season 1 yesterday and I was thinking "Oh, I remember when it was actually pretty consistently good. Why not anymore?" Now all I have left to look forward to on British television is bloody Torchwood, or else Robin Hood... both are, and I cannot emphasise this enough, totally lame.

My brother went on holiday last Sunday. The weekend beforehand we watched Gankutsuou and Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged together. It was nice to see James again, we have missed him. But he still hasn't called to tell us how his holiday is! Hope he's having fun.

Now for the important section... JoJo's!
I finished part 5 last Sunday and I haven't read any for a week. I'm telling myself I'm not going mad (there isn't much part 6 or 7 to read) but to be honest, I'm feeling a bit lost. See I want to do fan stuff but I know I can't draw fabulous enough and I can't think of any shameless reason to write myself the Joseph/Caesar fic that I so want. The things I was happy to do, being Nyoro~n comics and attempting to make sim skins of the characters, have effectively lost their charm. If only because I'm inspirationally spent for cheesy jokes (no really) and I realised that I'm not too good at making Sim skins. Basically all I've done is drool over GioGio *everyone else apart from Nicy laughs* in a whole week... and maybe I'm just not coping.

But actually there was some productive JoJo's appreciation yesterday. I went with Nicy to Manchester. She gave me pics of Joseph and GioGio *drool* and the day got better from then. We saw a Boston Terrier as soon as we got off the bus, they're so cute! We went for a walk around and bought some Manga. I got JoJo's 8 and Nicy got Death Note 3. We got free sample drinks of Volvic Revive and a strawberry smoothie from Costa Cafe. Then we bought Donuts in honour of GioGio's hair and saw some wierd people pretending to be mannequins in shop windows. We went through the Arndale and saw a Sharpie statue thing where they gave out sharpie pens and people could write all over the mascot. We wrote "WRYYY" and "All your base are belonging to us". By far we were the biggest losers there. Then we looked at Buil-A-Bear Workshop which is really wierd but I also want a bear, I'd make it into Dio or another character and get one of those 'hearts' which is a soundbox and record it so it says "WRRYYYY" when you hug it. And then I'd make little Dio clothes for it! My sis said that you could do that for a cheap bear and if you learnt how to sew clothes for it you might as well make your own plushie or cosplay outfits and stuff. Damn, my parade just got rained upon. I had a lot of fun, but poor Nicy had to put up with me, not only with my JoJo-ing but with me saying "I don't want to have my bag searched just to watch this Live Earth thingy," when we went to see it on the big screen anyway. Sorry Nicy >.<;

And I guess that's all for this week. Since I missed a week the weekly slots are doubled! Take care and I hope you're having a great summer!

EBA-Style Dedication!

Two for one and easy ones at that!
For you, Yuuya Fungami
"Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground,
Nobody gonna beat my car, It's gonna break the speed of sound.
Oooh its a killing machine; It's got everything,
Like a driving power- big fat tyres and everything...
I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight
I'm a highway star!"

Now, For you, Magician's Red.
"I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas!
Yes, it's all right. I'm jumpin' jack flash,
It's a gas! gas! gas!"

Hi, sorry I'm a bit late with the weekly update. Our computer has been acting weird and I couldn't log in. For some reason my PC thought it was 2018.

Anyway this past week I've read a lot of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A lot of people have at least heard of it because of Dio and the meme. Really though, and this is serious:

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT, YOU SHOULD.

Everyone should. They should get it right now and read it until they are blinded by fabulousness. And then read on despite their blindness. Oh yes.

Probably this is my favourite manga ever. It's the first one I've read so intensely and have liked so quickly. I love the art, the plot and the characters and it is, on the whole, AWESOME.

And something wierd happened too. As I read it I realised that the CLAMP manga 'Wish' (I read it when I was 10) is like a fanfic of season 3 of JoJo's. This is probably a really slow statement, but as I came to know Kakyoin in JoJo's I resented the story Wish because his representative character was so pretty and girly. It's silly I know, but CLAMP seems to have made an impression upon the interpretation of Kakyoin, and where I love chibi / moe pictures of all other JoJo characters, it angers me to see Kakyoin like this.

Okay so it's very silly. But I'm stubborn, so I'm boycotting CLAMP. They just aren't fabulous enough! On my ID I'm replacing CLAMP with Araki for favourite artist.

Hahahahaha! Okay, I feel really rediculous for saying all that, but I get angry at wierd stuff. I complain because I think the woman on the Oatibix advert is smug.

So I'm up to part five. I've just met him but GioGio is very lovely. And Donut hair... I like it. *nod*

Oh and the last thing: I want to draw manly fabulous now too... but I know it is a special power and it's muda muda to try and imitate it.

If you're wondering if I've done anything else this week, read

's latest journal. She is my twin after all, of course we'd do the same things. Nicy! We need to start screaming "IT'S PINK!" all the time too. Adds to the image, you know?

Hope you're well, more next week and now my weekly slots:

In memory of Shigekyo:
"He's fat and he don't run too fast,
But he's faster than me.
Last night at the show we saw him,
Goin' out of his tree.

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

THIS WEEK'S TIP:

Whenever you achieve something, why not announce fully that you have done so, using your name for emphasis. e.g. "Who ate my pie?" "It was I, Dio!"

Why not try introducing yourself by kicking your new acquaintance's dog in the face?

]]> ~eijis-pudding I'll Wry to that http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13368852/ http://eijis-pudding.deviantart.com/journal/13368852/ Sat, 16 Jun 2007 12:43:01 PDT
Doctor Who! John Barrowman AND John Simm!! lovelovelove!

Okay, okay, I'm fine really.

So here's a bit of a random update. Now all my exams are over, I've graduated!

I've already completely forgotten school. Today Natchan said "When I was walking home from school yesterday..." And I felt really wierd. I've already abandoned everything that was school.

And my sis and Dad bought me some giraffe plushies to help me celebrate! Dad got me a bendable giraffe (called Orson) and sis got me a TY pink love-hearts giraffe (called Blushed) and they're getting along great with the rest of the herd.

I finally started reading JoJo's on Thursday! And man Dio creeps me out! But it's so cool! This giving rise to my new weekly segment. (I hope I can keep it up)

Oh yeah, Natchan let me borrow Another Code for DS yesterday and I finished it. It's quite a cute game. I love D.

I just wanna say I had fun on Thursday and it was great to talk to Kris and

again.

And now my weekly slots:

EBA-Style Dedication!

To everyone graduating this summer, and to those still trapped in compulsorary education:
"I'm a survivor, I'm not gonna give up,
I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna work harder,
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it,
I will survive, Keep on surviving."

WHY NOT TRY IT THE DIO BRANDO WAY?

...Sorry. It's inevitable, right

?

So yeah, I haven't been on in a long time due to aaaaaall of my exams. It's been nearly two weeks. Seriously, I have one exam left to do now. I've had to stay in school all afternoon to go to a revision class period five. But everything is dandy.

I'm graduating from high school tomorrow~~

So tempted to burn all my books and uniform. I've even almost finished my ROA. I think I need to do two things and I'm all done, "K-A-T, I'm outta here."

I'm feeling quite accomplished right now. And not sad. I thought I would be sad but I'm not. I'm still scared about college and my results but now everything just feels like it's all come along well and everything is going to be fine.

I've missed you all in two weeks, especially

who hasn't posted since I last saw him either so I'm getting worried. D=
And

I hope you're okay as well, I know how rushed you've been. Hopefully I'll talk to you soon.

I'm so pleased, summer is starting. I hope everyone has been okay. The first thing I'm gonna do tomorrow afternoon is READ SOME FREAKIN' JOJO'S!!

Aaaand all this is a little rushed and random. I spent the first half of the lesson finishing my ROAs. And Nicy and Natchan were lame and left me on my own to go to music. D=
But my revision class will be starting soon so I'd better finish off now.

Thanks for supprting me through me exams, you're all wonderful people. Leave a comment~ I've missed you all! And hopefully life as we know it will return very soon.

'Til then, take care~
