Computer crashed


I am so sorry I aint been on. My computer crashed last week and when we turned it on we lost a lot of memory including the file my work in progress was resting in so now I have to type out all over again! Anyways its working fine now and im on blogger today!!!


Yesterday I went to see flushed away yesterday. It was a very good movie. Not the best ardaman movie by far but it was still great! Its about a spoiled rat (and i mean rat) named roddy who gets flushed down the toilet by a sewer rat (played by good old shane richie, aka alfie moon) and then he wants back in his house. Its a great movie and I say go and see it as you would probably enjoy it if you have a sense a humour and a warm heart.


ok so I shall start retyping my chapter and should have it on the net by christmas!!!!!

practising drawing talents







I have really tried with this. And when I say tried I mean I really really tried. And after 2 hours work I came up with this drawing. I lack a lot of confidence when it comes to my art and when my mum saw it she didnt stop going on about it and my dad (who speaks his mind about liking it or not) actually liked it. Face is out of proportion a bit and hes a bit bow legged but everyone thinks its fairley good! Please comment on what you think and i am willing to take crticism (exept "you forgot the scar on his right eye." Im fully aware of that.)
You know what i mean when I say that i wish to beat someone to a bloody pulp but i cant because i love them? Well it turns out that my good friend (and the only person I ever had a serious crush on) has been slagging me off. Mocking me. And for what you ask? Because im a Star Wars fan!!! I mean is that even a reason to mock someone? And the thing is to my disbelief she got her boyfriend to warn me off!!! Well Im fuming (great way to ward off a cold though) and yet I still love her! Is this normal or crazy?
Got to go now. Planning on drawing another picture and a better version of this one. Will post them when done.

Children in need



One of the best nights of the year! Shut the curtains, huddle up on the sofa and prepare for a night of fun yet tacky entertainment on bbc1. All in the name of a good cause aswell. We have already given our donation for the yellow bear. I remember my favoraite children in need night. I had canoed (not on my own but with a youth club) from aldermaston (village around 5 miles outside reading border) to the Oracle shopping mall (in town centre) having to walk and drag the canoe around all the locks on the way as some fool forgot the key! And when we got into the town we dragged a kayak through the town centre for people to drop change in and we were all given buckets for people to drop change in aswell! We raised (including the sponsor money for the canoe trip) just under 300 pound. Dont sound much but that probably fed a few starving kids.

I have found out some of the greatest news in the video game world this week. Destroy all humans has been deemed popular enough for FOX to commision a tv show based just after DAH1. If this rumour is true I cant wait for the UK release!!!
Last of all i have begun to type up chapter 1 of my story so expect it up on the net anytime soon!
so thats all for now so thanks for reading and please donate to children in need as it would really hurt my feeling to think any reader of my blog would be that cold hearted (readers outside uk not included).

Winter is almost upon us.....


and it sucks!!!! Its freezing cold no matter what I do!!! I wrap myself in a blanket I'm still cold, i run a warm bath I get out and turn cold straight away, I switch the heating on and I'm STILL cold! And as its yet to get colder I dread to think how cold it's going to get.

We had a huge fire out the back on fireworks night. People believe it was kids messing with fireworks. Thats one thing I dont get. Something wrong happens they blame it on a teen. No evidence needed they just drag a local teen off the street and blame them! Thats why I never go out the house much.
As you can probably tell by reading this, I am feeling very grouchy. Very, very grouchy. And thats because I caught a cold earlier this week and all I've done is write, read and play on my ps2 and im really peeved off about it! The thing is Im what my mum calls sensory defensive (Im not sure whether thats to do with my AS or not) and when i feel,taste,smell something its ten times stronger than what it should be. And so therefore when I get a cold I go fairely quiet and barely seen without a warm drink in my hands.
So see you soon (im going to cuddle a blanket and drink my coffee) and Ill see you soon!!!!

November the 4th.


Worst day of the year. Why? The lead up to the big fireworks night. Im scared stiff of those things. Yes they go off for around a month before november the 5th but tommorow brings the big displays. The colour i can stand but the noise........anyway change of subject. I am done with the first chapter of my story but when i type it up I feel like im going to pad it out a bit but the basic storyline is down and thats all thats important. I have still not found that holiday destination where the main characters meet up later on so Im going to make a place up. In Australia maybe?

I have joined up for a republic commando clan called Defenders of Sovereignty and im waiting for my application to be confirmed! To join up yourself go to http://www.dsgaming.net/index.php?id=faq. They do a few other games aswell. More GREAT gaming news an Area 51 sequel has been announced (area 51:the breach) for ps2,xbox,pc and ps3 and although no details have been announced yet I will post when they are.

so I think thats all i have to say so stay tuned and take care (just saying because some little git threw a firework under some guys car yesterday.)

First chapter nearly finished


Ok I know it was only a couple of days ago I posted about me starting the draft but I feel I dont want my chapters to be too long winded. It really puts me off a book when there could be a chapter stuck in a certain place giving you a chance to rest without losing your place. Im hoping to make a fairly big piece of the first chapter though and I really think I got some of the character layouts perfectly. But im the author so of course I would say that about my work. I think I explained the basic storyline to you in my previous blog but I really am thinking about sticking more modern day issues into the storyline so then it will complicate the relationship a bit. I am also trying to think of a romantic place in the world but I also need scuba diving to be involved aswell as this will be involved in a a key scene in the story. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. So for all of you intrested please post comments or ideas for my story and there will be more to come on the subject hopefully very soon.

Other topics: I have decided to turn down the babysitting job that I was scheduled to do from monday as I think that what i was going to do would not be my cup of tea. But Im being paid a pound an hour for helping my mum build a website believe it or not!

after nearly a week in deprresion I am starting to think about going emo. Of course I doubt i will but it dont help that people have started to call me one (whether its a joke or not).

I have nothing much else to say so see you soon!

The latest news!



Hiya all!!!! A few intresting things have happened since I last posted on here so lets start from the first one and work up to today. My first intresting thing is I have bought 2 new games one for my ps2 and one for my pc. Spartan Total Warrior and Star Wars Republic Commando. I played Republic Commando (a squad based first person shooter) all day and completed the singleplayer and everytime I go on multiplayer I do very well. Spartan Total Warrior (a slash 'em up from the creators of the total war saga) is a rather mediocre game compared to what i thought it was going to be and was rather dissapointed with it.
Second intressting thing that has happened recently is I got a job! Not a huge job but a good one none the less. 60 pounds for a week of babysitting 10 till 4. Not bad eh? Well looking forward too it as I love looking after kids and the kid im looking after just loves too be around me (Im the only one that can get reigns on her)
And finaly I have started a draft of a story I am determined to get published. A romance story, its about a pair of kids who have not met each other except on a chatroom on the net and too scared of asking each other out because off knowing that it could be a paedophile on the other end untill they meet on a holiday by complete chance. So I think thats it so see you soon!!!!
