Think of it as a more fun version of twitter (with direct reponses to threads rather than all that @username shizzle), except I post (hopefully) less inane things.

Naturally though, it is more fun with more people on the timeline

Finished things might end up here.


Maybe.





Also, have you noticed that dA says that people NEED subscriptions?

Be honest dA.
We don't need your subcriptions.
You need our money.

Qwantz (Dinosaur Comics) linked to it again, after mentioning he'd already linked to it before in January or something. I decided to download and listen to them both, and indeed, as I write this, I am still listening to The Most Unwanted Song. (it's 22 mins long!!!)

The idea was that 78% (plus and minus 12%) of the population would enjoy listening to the Most Wanted Song (ironically, I cannot stand it) and no more than 200 people would enjoy the Most Unwanted Song (which is like a random mini-musical to me).

Now, with me (and quite a bit of the internet it would seem), I much prefer the Most Unwanted Song, the Most Wanted Song is just too sickening, too cheesy, too...plain. The Most Unwanted Song - which is a combination of 'annoyances' - I find is much more enjoyable. Perhaps, since these were made in the 90s, the Most Unwanted Song was made ahead of its time, and although annoying to whatever majority was surveyed back in the 90s, is appealing to today's majority of internet users (and perhaps, the variety of genres and style in the Most Unwanted Song makes for better listening.)

I mean, an Opera Singer rapping about Cowboys? Children singing Walmart Jingles for every single holiday of the year (do all your shopping...at Walmart!)? It's hilarious. There are some painful and boring parts in the song, admittedly, but it is so much more interesting than the Most Wanted Song.

Would be interesting to see what you all think though. Perhaps your tastes are more suited to the shorter and apparently more wanted Most Wanted Song.

A-Level Results Day.

As promised, the results;
Maths: A
Physics: A
Psychology: A
Further Maths: C (<- this is because I did 24 months of work in 12, so it hampered my grades)

This means I got into Durham University. They confirmed it via UCAS.

WHOOP WHOOP. The atmosphere at school today was awesome. Completely the opposite of what happened last year, where people saw the results and died on the inside. This year, everywhere you looked it was tired smiles, the emotion of success and relief.


PS: I still also have my AS-Levels in Media Studies (A) and Critical Thinking (C) from last year.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. I've been working on some BBx character sheets. My dragon robot looks not too awesome - since he's supposed to look like a toy.

Miyo is so colourful and Brier is so damned pink.

Characters: Pick 5, any will do. Do this before reading the questions!

1. Helmos
2. Fuchsia
3. Captain Policeman
4. Wormzilla
5. Adrian

Section A) All characters Questions: In this section answer the questions from every characters point of view:

1a) What is your character's name?

Helmos: My legal name is Helmos Joseph Lockresh the 2nd!
Fuchsia: I'm Fuchsia Sophianne Twist, but call me Fuchi! PLEASE!
CP: Everyone calls me Police Constable Captain Policeman, but my real name, which only I appear to know these days, is Police Constable Rupert Williams, sir!
Wormzilla: My full name is Zillas Lumbricus Terrestris, but that shortens to The Great Wormzilla, but most just call me Wormy, rawr.
Adrian: Adrian Lockresh, now leave me alone.


2a) What does s/he do for a living?

Helmos: I'm a Junior Detective! Although I'm not supposed to be allowed to detect...
Fuchsia: A job? ME? I think you'll find I'm the village Loli and still go to school.
CP: I'm a Police Constable Officer, sir!
Wormzilla: ...giant worm...
Adrian: I'm a detective, and I have to look after the pipsqueak too...


3a) Who are their 2 closest friends and their worst enemy?

Helmos: Captain Policeman and Wormzilla are my closest friends. Fuchi appears to hate me...but my worse enemy seems to be that Detective who is glaring at me all the time...er...the one that isn't Uncle Adrian.
Fuchsia: My two closest friends are the twin Lolis! We're so cute together. My worst enemy is that other girl who's trying to take my place as the lead village Loli!
CP: I suppose Wormzilla and Master Lockresh are my closest friends, as they are the only ones who can keep up with me when investigating! My worst enemy is any wrong-doer! I am the voice of the law, of course!
Wormzilla: My old owner, Prof. Tea, is my closest friend. I miss her to bits. I don't have any enemies (case I tend to eat them, rawr!)
Adrian: Friends?! Bah, humbug. That bumbling detective always getting in the way thinks I'm his friend. Enemies? I hate everyone. Now go beat off somewhere, I'm trying to enjoy my tea!


4a) Does s/he have family?

Helmos: My mammy, and my daddy, and uncle Adrian! No cousins, because Uncle never married anyone (I don't think they would marry him though).
Fuschia: My mymmy, Nova Twist, my sister, Azure Twist and my daddy, Greenwich Twist! I probably have aunts and cousins too, but they never come here!
CP: ...
Wormzilla: ...rawr.
Adrian: I suppose my smelly brother, Retmis counts as family. Oh, and that pipsqueak, Helmos.


Section B) Pick one of your characters to answer each question, don’t use the same character twice!

1b) Who did s/he give birthday presents to last year? What did s/he give them?

Adrian: I suppose I gave Helmos something important for his birthday, a pocketwatch and notebook, and a pen, and a bag. Useful stuff!


2b) What sort of people does s/he tend to make friends with?

Helmos: Anyone who doesn't think I'm strange!


3b) What nightmares does s/he have? When s/he wakes up screaming in the middle of the night, what does s/he see?

CP: Little girls. Lots of little girls...in underwear, molesting me! Arrrgh!


4b) Does s/he have birthmarks or scars? How did s/he get them? What about disfigurements or handicaps?

Wormzilla: Well, my general appearance comes from the fact that I was dipped into a radioactive pond. I'm supposed to be a giant tumour but hey, I'm healthy!


5b) Does s/he save money up or spend it like water?

Fuchsia: SPEND SPEND SPEND! I MUST have cool frilly dresses and bows and ribbons and cupcakes!


Section C) Just answer these questions

1c) If characters 1 and 4 went on vacation together, where would they go?

I suppose Helmos would demand that they go to the place where Wormzilla became Wormzilla, or maybe they'd just go on an ordinary holiday. I don't think Helmos would mind where Wormzilla picked, because he practially worships him.


2c) If character 2 borrowed a book from character 5, what would it be?

Hm...I don't think Adrian would have any books that Fuschia would be interested in...except maybe how to look appealingly tasty to Captain Policeman. Well, unless she was interested in being a detective too (but she appears to prefer being the assistant)


3c) What piece of advice would character 3 give to character 5?

Captain Policeman: Ah, no offence sir, but you need to lighten up, Mr Lockresh, it might save... ]]> ~sobers http://sobers.deviantart.com/journal/18931760/ http://sobers.deviantart.com/journal/18931760/ Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:15:27 PDT

Travelling & Hotel:
As far as I know, I'm travelling down to London on the 23rd of May with my father, by car (4 hours - whoop whoop). I'm not actually staying in a hotel (sorry people - I can't give out where I'm staying at), but I'll be at Grandma's House (HAHAHA I'm going at Little Red Riding Hood too, I can't believe it)

Cosplay:
I am going as Little Red Riding Hood. No specific incarnation - just my own version.

"Why, that's not an anime/video game cosplay sobers, what gives?"
Well, I thought Little Red Riding Hood would be one of the best for me to go as - considering I have problems with my own skin colour - it bothers me for cosplaying. Anyway. Little Red Riding Hood has been represented/parodied/referenced in every type of media covered by the MCM Expo; Video Games, Comics and Anime/Manga - thus I feel Little Red is most fitting for it and for me.

If you see me, yes, I did make the red cape and skirt myself. No it wasn't too hard - just fiddily and yes, that is a wolf plushie I'm carrying with me - wanna pet him?

Right now - the cape is finished and the skirt is almost done - just needs the waistband attaching and then the hem needs to be adjusted and stitched. I'm also looking for a picnic basket and some toy weapons.

On The Day:
Take a picture of me if you want! Ask first though, it's just polite, and yes, if you're cosplaying as some sort of wolf-furry, I would like to hug you..and then pretend to kill you. Oh, be warned, I think photos of me look evil.

Feel free to dote on me - but not too much. HAHAHA.

Who I Should Be Chillin' With:
Well, when Holly and co. (Holly, Serwa, LifeLove, Stephen and Vanilla) arrive, I will probably be hanging with them - with my camera - making them pose for questionable pictures (but only joking...maybe). Before that, I think my sister will be at the convention - so I'll probably be geeking out with her since I haven't seen her in a long long time..

If you've already read Holly's Expo journal, you'll be knowing who we're all cosplaying as, but if not, here's a nice list:

+ Me: Little Red Riding Hood
+ Holly: Axel (Kingdom Hearts)
+ Serwa: Roxas (Kingdom Hearts)
+ Vanilla/MeeMee: Xaldin/Xigbar/Whatthehellidon'tevenrememberanymore.
+ Stephen: Sasuke/Rabbitthing (Gravitation)

Glomping:
Please don't glomp. You can run towards me, stop and then hug - but no jumping glomps or suprise glomps. Most likely I'll be wearing my hand-stitched cape, and I don't want the stitches to come loose, because I probably won't be taking my needle and thread with me to the convention.

Hugs are okay though. I like hugs.

Other Fun:
I'm not sure what's going on really - I have a feeling people might get me to enter the masquerade, since I made my costume this time, haha.
Maybe if you ask nicely, I'll take my phone with me and dance the Hare Hare Yukai dance if you want to dance with me. HAHA.



~~~~

So yes. I'm going - if you want to meet up/see me for a few moments during the con - note me or something.

I'll take photos. I promise.

It's not finished yet. The cape you see still needs some work doing to it, and the skirt in the picture is only half of it - ahahaha.

"The new CEO of Virgin Media, Neil Berkett, has openly stated in an interview that they think net neutrality is “a load of bollocks” and claimed they're already doing deals to deliver some people’s content faster than others. They would then put websites and services that don't pay Virgin in the "slow lane", meaning those sites would load slowly and cause most users to give up using them, feeling forced to use whatever Virgin wants to push through their network."

This is against the entire principal of the freedom of the internet.
We must stop this before it becomes a trend.

So today I gave blood. On a related topic; So today I almost fainted. You wouldn't believe what links the two;



One sip of piping hot tea.


And now onto the explanation/bedtime story (now it gets too long);
Firstly, the donation didn't go as smoothly as my first (although I did get a keyring for donating twice!). Firstly, we had to wait 20 mins for a nurse to come (as I requested local anaesthetic - this should have been my first warning) and then, the blood flow was acting weirdly (temperamental needle/vein) so the needle had to be readjusted (thrice - my arm hurts now). Could have stopped, but I am stubborn, and was determined to donate.

Blah blah, slow donation, etc.
Anyway, it is required that after donation, you have a drink with something to eat. There is tea, coffee, lemon juice and orange juice. You can guess what is the safe option, and what isn't. I picked tea. Stupid me.
After my sip of tea, I started to read this mini-magazine they give to donors, and eat some really lovely golden crunch biscuits.

As I finish my first, I feel a little warm, but since I was wearing a v-necked jumper-tank top over a shirt, I just thought it was that. Feeling a little warmer, and now halfway through the 2nd biscuit, I feel...sick, actually, and I lose my appetite for the biscuit. Putting it in the bin, I planned on asking about feeling sick, because I wondered if it was common symptom.

Before I even get to ask, looking rather concerned, an old woman whom was in charge of food and drink asked if I was okay. Before I even finish the sentence: 'Actually, I do feel a bit sick' the two (old woman and another guy) rush towards me, pull me out of the chair, and hurriedly lead me to the bed. The woman who was sat opposite me looked horrified, she was just worrying about bleeding, I'm not sure she considered fainting as a possibility.

All the symptoms of faintness rushed to me as I walked. The scary thing was that I was so aware of everything happening to me. The sight, not blurring, but slowly turning blue like a melted substance crystallising on a cold glass plate, except in the opposite way, from the outside in (take that Pokemon - I don't 'black out' or 'white out'. I 'blue out'. My body felt so damn heavy, first my chest, then my arms, and even my eyes, and all I was thinking was 'woah, I'm seeing blue' and 'boy does my body feel heavy.' I feel sorry for any first-time donators who turned to look at what was going on when the two came storming over to me. I hope I haven't put them off.

Apparently, I am not the only one this has happened to. The guy who was checking up on me done the same thing on his 2nd donation - drank tea and then fainted (or almost - I can't remember which he said). He asked how I was feeling. I remember feeling really really amused. The only thing I could think about this was laughter.


I knew I should have went for the orange juice.





He agreed.

What we did:
+ Saw 'Be Kind: Rewind' which I think was pretty good
+ Bought comics
+ Laughed at 4Kids
+ Surfed Wiki

We're not really doing much to celebrate until my birthday, to which we're going for a meal on the day after.

I am going to do lots of character memes tonight, I am in a Phenex and Celeris drawing mood tonight.

[link] (Fesoes Tea House) - My blog where you can comment. I tend to post less frequently there as I tend to write long posts with lots of things there.

[link] (Fesoes' Scrapbook/Tumblelog) - My tumblelog where you can't comment, it's kinda like a scrapbook, so I'll post snippets of things that happen and it's normally not in any coherent order.

Remember, if you like what you see and stuff, don't forget to spread the word!

Hello deviantARTlets. How've you been?

Me? I've been busy at school, and too lazy to write a journal. I've been doing tonnes of doodles, and I don't really put up doodles, so you guys are rather missing out on my doodle-craze.

I've also been working on the story of Capio Phasmatis, because I would love it to have a storyline as deep as Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles and xXxHolic, (which I have spoiled for myself, but with good cause - its inspired me so much)

I'm thinking of getting a new account on dA to account for my new pen-name: Fesoes [Tea House]. A cup of tea to anyone who can guess where THAT came from. I may also get myself a subscription at some point, because I miss it like hell.

I have also been working on my private server to get a website fleshed out (I absolutely hate it when people make a site and when it's up, it's still under construction), using WordPress because I suddenly found its my all-time favourite Blog-ware that can be turned into a CMS (also OpenSource Freeware), and I just need to get a plugin sorted for a gallery, which I think I have. I know how I'll be distributing the free low-res copies of my comics and the design of the site needs to be made. It will definitely be named after my pen name.

Been trying to form a comic drawing duo with a friend - I think we've settled on RICE, I need to ask her though.

Last point: I have joined Manga Revolution ([link]) - go there and give me style points if you're feeling generous! Style points = good.

Commissions are open! OPEN! OOOOOOPEN!
Comet! is my latest project.

Psychoanalyze Yourself. Answer the following questions with the first thought that comes to mind. Then read which each answer means. [No cheating! ]
---

1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who is with you?
The boy of my dreams *sigh*

2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
A deer

3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
Well I stop to look at it for a while. It notices me, but continues with what it's doing.

4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your DREAM house. how big is it?
It's small, just like a cottage

5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
Nope

6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on AND around it?
On: tablecloth, teapot, vase of flowers; Around: paintings on the walls

7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
A golden/bronzy chalice

8. What do you do with the cup?
I pick it up, because I wanna look closer at the decoration.

9. You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. What kind of body of water is it?
A small river - a beck

10. How will you cross the water?
I can easily jump across it!

--------------------

1. The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important person in your life.
Haha. I suppose that's technically right.

2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems.
I suppose that's right in a way. I hardly think my problems are ever that big.

3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems.
Standing back and watching? Sounds like me. I tend to just step back and let it all play out.

4. The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition to solve your problems.
Haha, my problems aren't such a problem to me, so I guess I don't have this great ambition to solve them.

5. A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not drop by unannounced.
No fence. Pop right in!

6. If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy.
Well, does tea count as food? I know I saw flowers on my dining table.

7. The durability of the material which the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship.
Metal - Gold/Bronze. Pretty durable stuff, although it's been a little iffy lately. That chalice did look kinda old, I guess.

8. What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude.
Yup. I definately look at things in close detail, and analytically.

9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire.
Right now, this is true.

10. The way you cross the water is representative to how easy or hard you expect your life to be.
...I expect my life to be easy enough to just jump over? Doesn't sound quite like me.

People I luff!

Otherwise, hello there. Long time no speakee.
I've been good, I've been bad. I've had exams, I have projects.

Some ideas came, some I've dropped.
I have Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom available to buy as a print.
I hate to sell out and all, but I don't think anyone wants a commission (and I'm a bit too busy at the moment to do them), but I sorta, but not entirely, need the money.

In other news: Mango and Orange Smoothies.
