6:01 pm - Life is Good
|
I know I promised to write more, but my dad's PC keeps getting raped. He attempted to get onto the net with his pseudo-repaired PC the other night. Luckily his firewall was working because in 20 minutes of internet access he'd been attacked 400 times by computers all over the globe from LA to Spain! The Net's a warzone!
Anyhow, I've just discovered how to do this at work (the root site of livejournal was banned, but if I type the full address in, it's fine. Ha! Amateurs!
So I'm a yeller belt in Kung Pow and tonight I learn the start of my Tiger-Form. Reason 2 why I must leave this brief tonight and get my violent groove on.

6:51 pm - Back from the Dead!
|
Okay, so father's PC is still in the land of Technologay. Ne'er mind, I just snuck into my sisters room to use her PC. Ha! Okay, Not much has been happening apart from I'm still with Jemma, we worked stuff out. It took a few hours of her crying and realising that life isn't all about Joey, Pacey, A Creek and no friggin paddle. Now I make her watch films. Victory! (no Millington, not "Kill!") Although I've somehow managed to pick every film I own where an eye gets removed. She tends to freak out at those bits. Ooops.
Been watching Third Rock from the Sun a lot lately. Bo! Anyway, I'm off to plan a Cthulhu plot. A Campaign even!

5:17 pm - Lao Chi (Flowing Spirit)
|
I'm feeling rather centred lately, to quote Max Payne, "I was a ninja, and my Kung Fu was strong!". Okay, so I may not be a walking film-noir cliché with John Woo stylings, but you get the idea. I'm happy. Things with Jemma are going from strength to strength. I've found that with the relationship not being based almost entirely around sex for once I've kinda been forced into an interesting friendship thing. It feels nice, kinda more like companionship. And on the violence side of life I'm enjoying my time as a Shadow Warrior (I do understand how stupid that sounds and thus the appeal of saying it) and practicing two martial arts. I'm getting shown my first Animal Form on tuesday along with a front-thrust kick. Should be fun.
I'm getting rather good with my crossbow, but I may have to fork out about £10 for a new string! Ach! Never mind. Didn't expect it to be cheap. It just feels nice to own something deadly.
Payday on Odin's Day: I'm looking into buying a Staff from a Martial Arts shop and Gamestation have a sale so I'll be down there in a flash. I'm looking into buying the fallout game, RoadKill and whatever else is dirt cheap and multiplayer.
P.S. I saw John Prescott in the Precinct the other day. What a miserable bastard!

Went to my Exam on Sunday after a w'end (which was maxi fun, Bristol: The home of nice people and Posh Bitches- "Hi, I'm a posh bitch, daddy owns the company and I like it up the shitter!" [long story -ed]) and to cut a long and expletive filled story short, I passed. 70%
I'm now in pain from Ninjitsu and Lao Chi back to back. Ow.
I also got a recognition for my hard work at work and Clive (manager) gave me a £10 voucher! Strange but highly appreciated.
Gonna go eat.

1:12 am - Blood for the Blood-God & Hats for the Hat-God...
|
Just saw Troy with Jem. My review: It was a stellar hand to hand combat film with a default love-story thrown in. I'm not sure how closely it stuck to Homer's version, but I enjoyed it. Although again Hollywood misses another perfect chance for ManOWar to score a movie. Certain bits of it gave me that feeling I get when I listen to Warriors of the World United...
I've made some decent headway in starting my Grey Knights army for 40k. Feeling officially retro with paint on my fingers and glue on my skin. I've decided to name every model in my army as it makes it more personal and fun when stuff happens.
In other news I was talking to Jemma when we came back and apparantly her friends have told her to dump me. Bloody charming! So I told her that if she wants to, she can do. Life's too short to fart about waiting for the right moment to do stuff. If you wanna change something, change it! I really don't need her. I'm not someone who needs another to be who I am. I am me. Me I am. Green eggs and Ham. I'll always have my X-Box...and besides, it's not like anything's sacred to me anymore. What do I care? It's been 11 months since I died inside and 10 months since I discovered that love is a lie. I've been happy for about 99% of those 10 months, I live for me now and not some bullshit dangling carrot of permanent heartache. If home is where the heart is, then to Hell with me. I've ne'er been happier & more content than I am these days. Thank you Jen for showing me the human condition for what it truly is. And thank you Helen for showing me the light in such dark. And thank you to my Brothers and Sister who've listened to me and aided me on my journey to this point. "If you can't run, you crawl, and if you can't do that, you find someone to carry you"
Sorry, I was feeling reflective.

10:47 pm - Retro-Me!
|
I've had a strange week. Seemed normal when it started, but it soon became apparant that weirdness was on the cards when I got the urge to go into Games Workshop of all places to see what had happened to the galaxy where I grew up. I ended up listening to a staff-member describe 2 years of events to me. And me loving a good story was whisked magically away to the place of my youth...the 41st Millenium!
So then Dok & I decided to break out our armies and give it a go for old times sake. It was most enjoyable, so we've planned more!
I'm also going to be trying out Ninjitsu to supplement my Lao Chi as it uses a large amount of weapon training. I also need to find a chunk of cork-board for practicing my knife throwing.
And I'm off tomorrow, monday, tuesday & wednesday. Score! Although Jemma's away for t'weekend.
Oh, and my sodding crossbow still ain't arrived. cunts. Don't know exactly who I'm blaming, just 'them'.
ooh, and a nice quote I read:
"Don't shed a tear for me. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men."

10:33 pm - Kill with Power!
|
I've bought two more ManOWar CDs bringing my total to 7. I'm happier than a Metal Warrior fighting to his death right now. My Crossbow is due tomorrow... It's taken its merry time, but now payday is rolling around again I may be looking to invest in something else...or take a payday off from spending money on violence. Besides I think I need to buy my X-Box something to show it I still care. Possibly a four-way hub...mmm...CounterStrike!
I managed to put Morrowind down, only to play KoToR again. If it ain't one game it's another! I even got Ninja Gaiden and found myself putting it down to play KoToR more... I just missed the character interaction and the minx Bastila. Ninja Gaiden is really brutal though, bloody brilliant with a nasty learning curve.
I'm also getting fucking annoyed of organising RPG nights to have people make other plans and just generally let me down. Luke cancelled on me via text so I texted him back with "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgghhh!". Next time we play, there shall be no clemency! I'm not being lenient on players in future. If the vampire wants to break your neck. He's gonna. And if they get annoyed and never play again: Who Cares! It ain't like we're getting much done now anyhow!

12:34 am - Pride & Guilt
|
I was in a field with m'lady at 22:30 t'other night. It had started getting dark and she mentions how it's like a setting of a film. So I points out that it be more like a Horror Movie and that we were due to be eaten alive by some nasty or another. Jem wasney impressed, so naturally I did what any self-respecting man would do:
I impersonated a zombie of the Shaun of the Dead styleé.
She naturally ran away from me and got a little annoyed because of her overly active sense of imagintiatinan and my wonderful spelling.
So imagine her fright when I update my routine to include the modern 'Dawn' Remake style of undead by running across a field at her with all my might making horrible screaming noises. She started crying. I've never felt such a twisted blend of Guilt and Pride in my entire life.
So the moral of the story is: I'm a damn good zombie!

8:35 pm - It's My Life...

Bought a Machete. Crossbow & Knives are coming any day now.
Next purchase is the extendable kosh. Then I'll be looking into a Katana or a Dai-Katana. Something big'n sharp.
Still need to get some supplies for a medkit. Weapons first.
Other'n that:
Took Jemma to the preview viewing of Van Helsing coz when we saw Shaun of the Dead she saw the trailer for Van and almost popped in a bubble of joy. It was a good laugh, what I expected since it was by the guy who did Mummy and Mummy Returns and I loved them. Enough cheese to choke Lisa Riley. Hugh Jackman is thoroughly fuckin ace and Kate Beckinsale is edible to the last.
Back playing Morrowind again. I've decided to dress like a Samurai and run around the Red Mountain killing anything that moves. Fun Fun Fun.

I had a dream that I fell madly in love with a girl who had long brown hair and earthy tones. I hate those dreams. Dreams are sometimes more real than life when it comes to knowing and feeling.
I also attempted to take Jemma for a meal but failed after finding the perfect place due to the fact that she's mental and hates eating in front of folk. Oh well, off to Manchester to have me some fun instead. I'll have the rest of the weekend to indulge myself with her company. You know what they say, Absinth makes the heart grow fonder.
Other exciting news:
I'm looking into buying a crossbow. WooSSa! It's £70 but has 80lbs of pressure behind it and it looks badass! I'm buying that and some throwing knives. Something to do in the summer months. I need to get away from my beloved X-Box a little more.

1:48 am - First Aid
|
I had the first day of me first aid course today. Another step towards apocalypse preparation. Really enjoyed it. Y'know when you really want to know something so learning it is easy and kinda fun. Well it's like that...quite a rarity for lazy ol' me.
Driving home I happened by Jemma and Clare walking home, so I swung by and picked her up. Borrowed a walkie talkie off her and now we can abuse each other from the safety of our beds. Just what I want from a woman: Abuse that doesn't require my relocation from my X-Box. I'm a simple man. But not like the fella from 'Of Mice & Men' coz that's just retarded. No really.
I Love my X-Box. I'm gonna marry that Box one day.

10:58 pm - Zombies, Noir and Broads
|
Well, I think I definately need to spend more time updating this. I guess my problem might be that I'm less anxty these days. Anyhow, enough bollicks:
Zombies-
Me and the Dok are werking on a zombies card game that promises to be fun. And hey, something to do! We were up until 5:00am sorting the ideas out.
Noir-
Borrowed Max Payne 2 and played it until the wheels fell off. Started playing it at about 1:00...had a break for food and Jemma after 5:00 and then polished it off when I came back at 9:00. My god what a game. The story. The Clichés. The Captain Baseball Bat!
Broads-
Things with Jemma are going well. I lent her my Rammstein CD to get her into heavier music. It seems to have worked because of the similarities between it and Aqua...! Funny shit. And if I ever want to freak her out I can start talking about zombie apocalypses. She has panics now, after watching Dawn of the Dead! But she wouldn't see Shaun with me. Next payday I'm gonna start preparing for the Endtimes!

Well. I got pissed. Was dressed as a cowboy. Insulted Debbi and insinuated that her boyfriend was a fag. Went to the park and get even more munted while climbing on the dug-outs. Woke up with all kinds of cuts and bruises.
Other news:
-Shaun of the Dead-
Bloody priceless. It was a right riot. Not as off the wall as Spaced, but you can't win 'em all! Don't wanna give much away, but it had a lot of the jazz that Dawn had.
-My Hips-
Oh the pain. No monkey for me for a while. Or drunken combat rolls... It was a thing.

The Dok is in the His-ouse! We got some linked X-Box fun happening last night along with a few hours of zombie madness. Managed to watch 'Zombie Flesh Eaters 2', 'Zombie Nosh' & the first half of 'City of the Living Dead'. It was a hoot. Zombie flicks are the greatest...even when they suck.
Anyhow, I am today and now is mine so I'm off to grab the bullshit by the horndog and drive the Dodge outta Hell.

Holy Flesh Eating Zombies Batman! I just saw me 'Dawn of the Dead'. Holy ass-god of DoooooM! Shitty-Damned Fuckin Bo Selecta on Jam covered on Uber-Jam of Certain DoooooM! So very good. Everything I've ever wanted from a zombie film. Every ounce of feeling and tension and sense of doom. Every death was good, nothing was bad. The use of broadcasts was just enough to give you a good feel for the DOOOOOM! and Tom. God Loves Tom! MR Savini, let me shake your hand! So much cool! AND THE RELIGIOUS GUY!>!>?!?! I can't believe they got that fella back. It's nice to see a familiar face, I kinda wanted to stand up in the cinema and salute the fucker. I can't grasp just how psyched I was when I went to see it. It's nothing to how I am now! Not to spoil, but some of the bits...The Start! Wow! Chaos! Ambulance! Gun! Andy! News Reel! Zombies!¬¬¬!£!&T&"$T&SGSVSHFVSFH

11:44 pm - Welcome to Your New Reality Mr Hughes
|
Okay, I got hammered in Manc, pushed in a bush, danced dirty (By that I mean in the style of Patrick Swayze, I didn't rub my willy against her or anything!) avec Bekkles for a good many hours. Woke up with hundreds of superficial cuts and bruises. Got Morrowind back off Wazza to play and then on Sunday got kicked in the ribs for close to 30 minutes and they still hurt. More importantly though...MORROWIND!
I FINALLY DID IT! I unlocked the fun that is this Gem of a game. I'm so into this game you would not believe. I even stole a house in Balmora off someone I killed and furnished it with my own stuff. I even have a shelf with a platter of Soul Stones. It's like the Sims meets Lord of the Rings. SO much to do. It's got over 3000 NPCs and if you wanted to walk around the outside of the island, it'd take you hours. MASSIVE! Don't expect to see me again.
In other news I shaved off my hair...on my chin.

Okay. So it's over. Steph and I are no more. I think it was for the best. I tried to do the right thing by her and I hope she doesn't hate me. She says she doesn't and I hope it's true. As you can see by my last post, I've been a bit snafu for a while. I feel a bit better now knowing that I'm not holding anything back. I guess I'm a little more insular than I thought I was. It was fun. I hope we can both look on the time together fondly. I'm glad I never got to hate her. It's something I do a lot of. Hate.
I just dread what the folks at work are gonna do to me.
Oh well. I did what I thought was best. I just think I should've done it sooner.

I was rather pissed last night. Had a small gathering of the collective. Sadly lacking any Brothers of metal.
Roo never showed, which was a shame considering I'd invited a load of ladies for him. Check out the rollcall:
Clare
Clare
Jemma
Suzie
Charlotte
Laurel
Tom
Tom
Rich
Other guy I didn't know.
And there would've been plenty of meat for Roo, two of the guys were gay...well, one was gay(other guy) and the other does it to get chicks. But he couldn't make it apparantly. His loss.
I had to rescue a passed out girl from my locked toilet. I ended up climbing over the airing cupboard and down into the cupboard on the inside of the bathroom. was fun.
Did some swing dancing and got muntered. HuzzAh!
