Some requests, some for fun. Real update later. Bye!

I'm hungry

2009-11-02T19:57:00.000-08:00

I set my alarm for 10am today, aiming to get up and get some stuff done that I needed. I woke up at 9am, realised I could have an extra hour of sleep, fell asleep again, turned alarm off at 10am, woke up at 1pm. FML.

Wanted to go to the bank and sort out my PayPal stuff and try getting a debit card, so I can start going through my clothes to sell some on eBay. I need to go into college sometime to withdraw from my course and get my stuff from semester 1 so I can apply into the one I want next year.

I have to send my laptop away for repairs, again.

I need to go to the dentist sometime.

Arrghh.

STRESS.

I'm not dead! :/

2009-10-30T06:13:00.000-07:00

Just nothing to blog about. Boo.

Been playing Luna Online a lot. I play on Crescent and my IGN is Panique, if you want to join me. :)

I went to the casino!

2009-10-14T07:10:00.000-07:00

Pani says (12:07 AM):
Well I had just settled down to play FlyFF with Portia.
When suddenly, people were at my door!
And they were all "we're here" on my phone.
And I was all "go away, I'm playing a game"
And then Dad answered the door and was all "YOU HAVE VISITORS, COME DOWN"
And I was like "DAMMIT"
But then they were all "let's go to the casino"
And I was like "but I'm PLAYING"
And they were like "COME ON WE'RE GOING TO THE CASINO"
Pani says (12:08 AM):
So I had to come back up here to ask Portia if she'd still be here in 2 hours and she said she would.
(but she's not)
(but I'm not mad at her)
So I said "FINE" and put on my boots and got in Patrick's car.
Then we went to the casino.
And I won $40 on the poker machine with dragons on it.
(the dragons were my friends)
And then I got that changed into 2 $20 notes.
Pani says (12:09 AM):
And then Patrick wanted to play blackjack, so we went upstairs and he won $15.
Then we went back downstairs to my lucky dragon machine so I could play with Ashton's dollar, but she didn't win, so I tried again with two of my dollars because I had some change in my bag.
But I didn't win so I apologised to her.
Then Patrick's mother called him and needed him to drop some keys off to her.
So he dropped off me and Ashton at Nick's, since it was nearly 11 and we couldn't all be in the car.
Pani says (12:10 AM):
Then he gave his keys to his mother, and came back and got me, and dropped me home.
And here I am!
$40 richer.

And that was my night.

I love the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack. And the movie. I'm going to make a 500 Days of Summer blog layout.

Uh, I've been playing Cafe World on Facebook a lot. I need a real game to play.

I thought I had a lot more to say. ,__,

Obligatory October post

2009-10-07T01:03:00.000-07:00

Nothing to say right now, just letting you know I'm still here. Stuff's going on.

Stomachache. :(

To die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die

2009-09-28T08:43:00.000-07:00

Still in Perth. :)

Saw 500 Days of Summer on Friday night. It was fantastic. I wanna see it again but it seems silly. I love Zooey Deschanel, even though Summer was a bit of a bitch, haha.

Anyway now I want to get the soundtrack, and also look into the Smiths a bit.

NOTHING ELSE TO SAY JUST FELT LIKE POSTING.

Perth

2009-09-25T23:52:00.000-07:00

I'm in Perth, excuse the lack of updates! Probably won't write too much while I'm here, but I'll get back to it when I get back home. Maybz with pictures. :D

My birthday, Gencon, and whores!

2009-09-18T06:45:00.000-07:00

I'm still 18!

So far it is a lot of fun, if not very similar to 17. I haven't been out to any 18+ places yet, but I did get asked how old I was today and I got to say I was 18, and that felt very special.

For my birthday I got stuff! :D My sister gave me a book and some chocolates, and my parents gave me another book, a couple of DVDs, a MARIO KEYCHAIN THING THAT MAKES SIX DIFFERENT MARIO NOISES, some earbud headphones, and a GHD STRAIGHTENER. KJHUGYTFGHKJ.

I had to go to college in the morning but I only went for a couple of hours. :| Then off to Gencon!

It was so much fun! If I go again on Sunday or next year I'm going to have to write down the order I do stuff in or something, because I seriously cannot remember what I did today. But I'll try my best. :D

Before we got there my friend had to spend forever setting up her cosplay in the bathroom at college and painting her face and all, but it was totally worth it. She was a bitchin' Harley Quinn (the new Arkham Asylum one, not the old one, but she's done that cosplay too) especially for a costume that wasn't put together too far in advance.

Anyway then we went to Gencon.

First off when we walked in I went straight for the bunch of 360 setups near the entrance and played Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 for a bit with one of my friends.

After we got bored of that we milled around a bit, and I bought a little 1up mushroom to hang off my bag because I don't have nearly enough geeky things hanging off it. One of my friends bought a WoW figuring from there and later another friend bought a keyblade. But I got distracted after that because someone told me there was a Left 4 Dead cosplay group around the corner. :O

They were missing a Zoey.

I have the jeans/hoodie/hair for Zoey. :( And I nearly went as Zoey today! I was pissed that I didn't because I would have fit in so well. But I made friends with them regardless! They were good fun people.

The Louis was white, but it's okay, because he spoke all black and held his gun sideways to make up for it. See? It's sideways in that picture.

There was cosplay chess as well!

Snake is in the box!

I also met a very friendly Stormtrooper when I was watching the cosplay chess! :O

I was like "give me thumbs up!" and he did. He talked a few times but I didn't really understand him so I sort of just nodded and took more photos of him.

Me and a few other friends went back to Southbank for lunch at one point. I saw a bunch of ibises trying to eat out of this hot food container and I thought it was the cutest thing so I took about 20 photos.

That picture looks a lot more impressive if you assume that it found the potato gem in the box and ate it, but actually my friend just threw it at him.

ALSO I FOUND A BOWSER AND HUGGED HIM. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.

Or it was complete until I found him later and got to wear his head and that actually happened two or three times.

Probably the most attractive photo of me that has ever been taken.

The parts of the day that I missed included worrying about how much money I spent, purchasing a hat and probably more that I forgot about, making more convention friends, talking a lot, watching a SSBB tournament, going in a TF2 tournament, and mooooore! Two of the TF2 matches were recorded and they'll be up on LanSmash at some point with narration, so I will link to them then.

NOW, ONTO THE WHORES!

So I was on Dailybooth tonight, taking photos of my cool new Gencon stuff, and I saw that one of the guys I was following commented on a picture from this other guy. A thumbnail of the picture they commented on shows up to the left of their comment and it was a barely legal fake-blonde girl with no shirt on and 200 written on her boobs, barely covering the essential parts with her hands.

wat

Notice I said it was a guy's page. For some reason this other girl decided to willingly take a photo of herself topless with 200 written on her boobs so this other guy could upload it to his page when he hit 200 followers? OH, HOW SPECIAL.

I went and checked out the girl's page and it's actually pretty sickening. I went back a few pages and she didn't seem all that bad in the start, it's just like she decided that she wanted to be more famous on the internet so she started losing clothes to get more desperate teenagers to follow her.

It's so fucking ridiculous. But to get the full idea, let me quote some of the comments I made on said picture, and the comments I received in reply.

My original comment:

Probably the most ridiculous picture I've ever seen on Dailybooth. :|

Congratulations on letting the internet know just how skanky you are.

Posted by the guy who uploaded the image:

@panique get a life, get swift covered!

(wat)

Posted by the girl in the image:

@panique ... Have you not seen the other pictures like this on db?
Please get a life if you enjoy insulting people you dont know?

My reply:

Baww. And no, I haven't seen the other pictures like this on Dailybooth, but honestly the fact that there are ones similar to this disgusts me. How old are you, 16, 17? It's ridiculous for you to be posting topless pictures of yourself on what is basically a social networking site where people as low as 13 years old are allowed to sign up.

The site itself was such a nice idea, and it's sad that people have to go and ruin it like this.

Posted by the guy who uploaded the image:

@panique if you're not happy with the RULES. Don't come ranting here at people because the rules state if you're over 16 you can post anything you like, you don't like it? Block me and move on.

My reply:

It's the internet, I can rant and rave about whatever I want. I don't care what the rules state, I still find it disgusting that there are people so young coming on here and posting pictures of themself in nothing, barely covering themselves up. I don't care if you think differently but I find it a very sad statement on society.

Posted by someone else:

@panique if the first thing you notice about this photo is that she is 'nude' you are dirty. I noticed first her lovely face, then was like, "Oh, her hands are covering her boobs" I don't see that as skanky tho. If it was full frontal nudity, then yes, it would be. Also, this isn't a social networking site, it's more of a photo sharing site.

(this guy totally came back and commented on one of my photos saying I was prettier so he is fully forgiven, because I'm tremendously vain like that)

Posted by INTERNET WHITE KNIGHT!:

panique shut up, you're probably if not are a loser cunt.
go get a life.

Posted by me, in reply to the other guy:

You've got to be fucking kidding. Her 'beautiful face' is covered by the majority of her hair, anyway. Stop kidding around.

Oh, and I told the INTERNET WHITE KNIGHT! that she wouldn't sleep with him for defending her. After all, he has a right to know.

INTERNET WHITE KNIGHT!:

Why would I think that you absolute bellend. Listen to yourself, stop using such stupid unoffensive terms like "Internet white knight" to try and sound clever.

Just stating my opinion.. you're a twat. :)

I'm not.. actually sure what he was trying to say? INTERNET WHITE KNIGHT isn't really something I say when I'm trying to sound clever.

Good God.

I don't even know why it bothers me so much. Just the fact that this girl is 17 years old and going around posting topless pictures of herself on the internet. I don't see how any 17-year-old with the slightest bit of dignity could do that. Does she have some sort of desperate need to have people on the internet tell her how beautiful she is (seriously, you guys! Her face! Not just her boobs! Seriously!)?

Some people are so fucking retarded and I don't even know why.

Edit: So I just went back to grab a link for someone and apparently the picture was deleted for some reason. Ha.

Birthday!

2009-09-17T08:45:00.000-07:00

I'M EIGHTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Also someone changed my blog password. >:( But it's okay I fixed it.

Will edit later, bedtime haha!

Kanye West at the VMAs

2009-09-16T06:23:00.000-07:00

horf blorf

In short I just think he is a toolbag for stealing Taylor Swift's first VMA speech, especially over such a shitty video. Beyonce's video is just some girl's dancing oh boy that's incredible never seen that before jhgtfhjkl. The good thing to come out of it is all of the Kanye West meme pictures. :D But seriously man, poor Taylor Swift was so excited and after Kanye had his little whine she's just standing there all awkwardly unsure of what to do. I actually watched some of the VMAs on MTV earlier today (I missed the start though, so I didn't get to see Best Female Video) and whenever Kanye was up for an award everyone booed. That was pretty cool. Also in turn Beyonce actually won best video so not only does he look like a huge tool, he's also stupid! Yaaaay!

YO STEPHANIE MEYER I'MMA LET YOU FINISH BUT HARRY POTTER IS THE BEST FANTASY SERIES OF ALL TIME is what I would say if I was a Potterfag.

I have been ukulele-ing it up with Joe! Say hi, Joe. I'm still not good and I still can't sing, but my fingertips are all sore and starting to callous so I feel rock and roll. I'm so cool.

I'm tossing up whether to buy a better ukulele or an acoustic guitar. My current ukulele was a real cheapie, and it's sort of twangy and just not the best quality. It's good for learning, though. Otherwise, if I can keep going on my cheap ukulele, I can get myself a small acoustic guitar. My Dad has one, but it's waaaay too big for me to use. I need teeny tiny instruments. When I used to play violin I used a quarter-size and it was adorable. :3 BUT I DIGRESS. Ukulele vs guitar?

Ukulele and more Pokemon

2009-09-13T04:15:00.000-07:00

I have had a ukulele since April but was always too shy to record myself. :L I recorded a couple of songs today, they have a few mistakes and I messed up the strumming at some times, but here they are anyway.

I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab for Cutie.

Marching Bands of Manhattan - Death Cab for Cutie. This one sounds pretty repetitive. I started singing around the second verse but it's really soft, you might not be able to hear it.

Pokemon!

I ran through the Elite 4 and Cynthia last night and got the National Dex and PokeRadar. I thought I'd skipped a lot of trainers and would be behind on my Sinnoh Dex, but it wasn't too bad. I had missed a double battle in Eterna Forest that I needed, and since I skipped all the trainers in Hearthome Gym I needed to see the Drifloon at Valley Windworks, but by the time I got to Cynthia I had 148/150, so Garchomp and Spiritomb finished it off.

I caught Heatran and Cresselia earlier today, and once it hits 10pm, I'm going to get Rotom. :3 Heatran took about 16 Ultra Balls, but I just used my Master Ball on Cresselia.

There's been a bunch of new HGSS information since the Japanese release, and consequently, the rom has become available. I know a lot of people who downloaded the rom for it and it really annoys me for some reason, and I'm not even that against piracy or whatever, normally. D:< Just seems really ridiculous to not wait for an English release if you can't read Japanese, or to import the Japanese version and play it if you can. I hate the fact that people are practically brute-forcing their way through the Japanese release when they're just relying on information from other people or sites to understand what's going on, or relying on their memory from playing Gold/Silver/Crystal ten years ago. It isn't that hard to just wait for the game to be released in a language you can understand.

/rant.

Aside from all that, the information/screenshots that I've seen are pretty interesting. It seems that the Pokedex goes by catching, not seeing, which is kind of annoying. D: I liked how the Sinnoh Dex worked off just seeing Pokemon.

I'm reading the Serebii information thread, and just found this gem:

"I have to take a break, needless to say I threw up on my keyboard a bit

I'm so so sorry for this. I'll catch up as soon as I can"

:|

People aren't going to die if they have to wait for information. There's working quickly through a game to unlock as much new information as you can, and there's ridiculously overloading and apparently forgetting to take your meds and getting sick. Some people are ridiculous.

On a more positive note, only 4 days until my birthday, and 8 days until I go to Perth. :)

Edit:

I'm still reading the Serebii thread.

"I dunno how much more I can do today. I've been up 38 hours straight, it's starting to take its toll"

dsfghkjl!

Why would you stay up 38 hours straight when you're obviously not enjoying it and probably feeling awful and it's so RIDICULOUS I can't even understand it.

WHILE I'M HERE.

Wrapping paper

2009-09-10T06:18:00.000-07:00

I made some of the colours on the layout darker because it was brought to my attention that they were harder to see on other screens than they were on mine (thank you boy). :< But that should all be fixed now.

I want more links! :D If anyone reads this who has a site/blog of their own, tell me so I can link to you!

What is the big deal with wrapping paper? :| I went shopping tonight for my Mum's birthday tomorrow, with my Dad and my sister. Before we left Dad wanted to buy some wrapping paper to wrap it in (durf hurf what else would we use it for blurf). That was okay but geez man how long do you want to take to pick out some paper? All it's going to be used for is hiding presents, and then they'll get unwrapped and the paper will get thrown out and IT WAS A WASTE OF $6. AND TIME. Seriously, I never really thought about it before but I don't get it, why bother?

I told him to just wrap my stuff in newspaper from now on.

My nail hurts so bad. :( I spent about three collective hours peeling stickers off game cases at work today. It was very mundane. I never realised how much it would make my nail hurt. D: It wasn't so bad at first but since my shift ended it's been hurting and it feels almost bruised, even though it's not. Bitch whine moan.

I love Skype-bots. :D

[11:40:02 PM] berget.hamwey48298733: i'm briannahh from http://slutsdating.com/?lhm`owwe remember our chat yesterday?

And by love I mean 'generally dislike, but sometimes their messages make me laugh a little'. slutsdating.com? I feel like I should visit there just so I know what it is.

But I won't.

Even though I should.

I really need more to blog about, most of the time they just end up being whatever is in my head at the time and they're all mismatched and weird.

It's my 18th next week. :D I turn 18 on the Friday. Technically I have college that day, but who wants to be cooped up at college when they're 18? :< I might take the day off to mill around the city and maybe go to Gen Con. I kind of wanted to be a Medic for Gen Con, when I originally planned to actually go, but now I'm going to Perth on the 21st and I don't really want to spend a bunch of money on it anyway. I'll just wait for Supanova.

I HAVE TO GO AND PLAY TF2 NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AAAAAGES.

Another brand new layout

2009-09-09T07:58:00.000-07:00

Clouds!

Partly inspired by a layout I saw looking at Pokemon stuff, partly inspired by Sprinkleberry. *-* Happy 09/09/09! Even though it actually ended here an hour ago and this post will be dated as 10/09/09 anyway. I don't care!

Today, my phone died. :( Last year my phone died around this time last year, and I got a new one for my birthday. It was a Motorola W510 and I remember reading before that they had some problems with the screen. I think it's just the screen that kicked it, because it still vibrates when turning on and the keypad still lights up, but nothing appears on the screen or front panel.

Eh, I guess I have to find an old one to use until whenever I get a new one.

Victory Road & Elite 4

2009-09-07T01:53:00.000-07:00

This is going to be a Pokeblog, sorry. ;)

I've been right into Pearl again recently, so about a month ago I traded a few of my Pokemon over to my friend to hold and restarted my game and got them back. I finished Sunyshore Gym yesterday and went through Victory Road mostly today, and got to the Elite 4 this afternoon.

Firstly okay, I am so pissed that you can't heal in-between E4 battles. HP I don't mind so much, I can take care of that using potions, but my Dragonite has terrible PP on his best moves. 14 on Dragon Rush (2 PP Ups), 10 on Aqua Tail, and 10 on Dragon Rage (shut up, I'm replacing it soon, leave me alone).

Secondly, I hate Aaron's Drapion's X-poison, and I hate Dragon Rush's 75 accuracy.

OKAY SERIOUSLY, THIS DRAPION BATTLE HAS BEEN GOING FOREVER, JUST DIE ALREADY OKAY DRAPION. THIS IS WHERE ALL MY DRAGON RUSH PP GOES.

WAIT

WHAT

WHEN DID DRAGONITE DIE.

I HATE THIS GAME.

DCFC blog layout

2009-09-05T08:51:00.000-07:00

I made this a while ago, and screwed up submitting it and it didn't go through. Found it recently, tweaked it, resubmitted, and now it's up.

Death Cab For Cutie layout!

CAUGHT

STAY IN YOUR POKEBALL ARGH

HEY
COME BACK HERE
STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM ME

My laptop is back!

2009-09-03T05:14:00.000-07:00

Much rejoicing to be had!

My program files were all gone, but my pictures/documents/music were intact. :) It was a nice surprise. I'll need to get TF2/Maple off my friends though, because I'll blow my bandwidth again if I redownload them myself.

Anyway once I reinstall CS4 I'll probably make a new layout again because this one is awful.

I apologise profusely for this layout

2009-09-01T21:58:00.000-07:00

IT IS A FILLER

I PROMISE

OKAY POKEMON TIME NOW

I miss my laptop!

2009-08-27T05:54:00.000-07:00

My laptop has been sent away for repairs. It is currently two states away, down in Victoria (hi Randy!), and I want it back. >:|

Notepad++ is annoying because it won't auto-finish stuff like Dreamweaver does.
I'm sick and that's annoying too.
TS3 won't run on the desktop, I tried.
I wanna play Wii games but I don't feel like playing Wii games. That's so weird.

Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver

2009-08-23T01:11:00.000-07:00

The official site has been up for a while, but I only found out about it today while I was checking for new information.

Want!

If the Australian release date is too long after the North American/European one, I'm just going to order my copy from there. I don't want to wait!

I got Notepad++ for the desktop, so now I can make a new layout for the blog. Should be up sometime this week, I'm in a Pokemood so it might be related to that.

Dead Hard Drive

2009-08-22T04:32:00.000-07:00

My laptop is busted. :(

I got it in January 2008 and even though it had slowed down a bit since then, it still seemed fine apart from the occasional freeze. On Friday it froze and I had to shut it down, and spent the next few hours trying to run startup repairs and trying to do everything I could to get it to start up again. Used my sister's laptop to Google similar problems and most of them were easily solved, but one of them mentioned that if the solutions weren't working it could be a problem with the hard drive. Got into the BIOS and did a hard disk self check, and after a minute or two it finished and said I needed to replace it. My laptop is still under warranty but the warranty placed is closed on weekends, so I'm going to have to call on Monday. One of my friends had the same problem and sent her laptop away and it took them weeks to fix it, so I'm not too excited. Ugh. No TS3 or anything until I get it fixed. :\

Awesome.

I hate using Notepad for making layouts, but I doubt this computer can run CS4 well so if I want to replace this old layout I guess I'm stuck with it.

You really got a hold on me

2009-08-14T11:20:00.000-07:00

Don't have much to say, but haven't posted since August 5th. :O Will definitely get around to making a new layout sometime soon. My internet's been capped and won't get reset til Tuesday so I need something to do aside from nonstop TS3-ing. Speaking of, I played for nearly 6 hours tonight. Accidentally. I can stop anytime, I just chose not to.

The stupid family had nearly no cash, and then the wife got pregnant. Well. I made her do it, I mean, but she could have said no. She was only supposed to have one kid. She had three. So I spent the better part of the early morning trying to keep her and her husband alive and avoid having the kids taken away. They still have about 5 days left of their toddler years. Pray for me.

Annndddd I'm gonna go.

You treat me badly, I love you madly

2009-08-02T00:44:00.000-07:00

It's August! Finally I have two links under archives.

Hey you'll never guess what, I'm going to make another layout. This one is really annoying.

10 Reasons Why Playing Left 4 Dead Won't Prepare You For A Real Infection

2009-07-29T06:21:00.000-07:00

10. Fully-stocked tables of guns and ammo are unlikely to be conveniently placed wherever you find yourself at the start of an attack of the infected. I guess the upcoming Left 4 Dead 2 (ooh, scary) is a little more prepared in that sense, seeing how they do incorporate melee weapons into the game more should your gun prove itself worthless. Although really, if a gun isn't doing anything to a zombie running straight for me, a frying pan backed up by my strength probably won't either.

09. What makes a safe room safe? If the infected can break down doors, then I guess you're going to have to find a room with a pretty strong door to serve as your safe room. But once you're in, what are the odds of that room having a second strong door leading out to a new area? Once the infected claw their way through all that metal, you're screwed.

08. Assuming you find yourself a safe room with two strong doors that the infected can't get through (not quickly, anyway), what are the odds of it being a room with the real life equivalent of medpacks, pills, guns and piles of ammunition?

07. Speaking of ammunition, can anyone reload a gun as fast as the survivors need to in order to stay ahead of the horde? I assume any survivors would be pretty shaken up over the whole situation, so I can't imagine that anyone would be reloading their gun all too fast.

06. A teamkill is a teamkill. Once you shoot down whoever happens to jump in front of you, they're gone! None of this "damn it Francis that was mean now help me up" crap. This would screw me over because I am the worst teamkiller ever.

05. Does anyone even know how to use a medpack? What's inside them? Bandages or whatever, I guess. Either way it's probably going to involve sitting down and actually opening the medpack instead of waving your arms around vaguely in front of your injured comrade.

04. Even pistols will eventually run out of ammo.

03. Where are all these bottles of pills coming from? And how come in L4D you apparently take the whole bottle at once? Maybe there's no infected attack and they're all just high off prescription meds. In the event of me being a survivor, I think I'd be staying away from the random bottles of pills strewn about the streets. Just to be on the safe side.

02. Against all odds, let's say you make it to some final area of your zombierun. An abandoned townhouse, or a airport runway, who knows! Once you get there you just better cross all of your fingers and toes that you have some way to contact the military or someone outside of your city or else all that running was for nothing and you really may as well have just collected the pills and got high before the zombies clawed out your eyeballs.

01. NO RESPAWNS IN REAL LIFE.

I am falling back on my bad habit of using song lyrics for blog titles.

Nothing to say really, just felt like I should update. :/ 1am, need to shower, college at 9. Whateveerrrrr.

Oh hello, now it's 2:30am and instead of getting ready for tomorrow (shower/SLEEP, you know, that's sometimes good) I made a weird new layout instead with hard to read text. Goodbye.

Blastoise would be a good father

I love me some Pokedads. Especially Squirtdad. What a cool guy.

I'm working on another layout. Don't know if or when I'll finish it.

I had something else to say but I forgot.

Riverside!

This song is always in my head. Always.

New blog layout

2009-07-18T09:51:00.000-07:00

I got bored in the early hours and put together a new layout for here. Still a few things to mess around with (the huge white space at the top that I can't seem to get rid of - I might have to make some header image to cover it) but it's a huge step up from the last layout I made from scratch.

I might be working again in about 9 hours and I need to sleep and auugghh fml.

My music library

2009-07-17T06:50:00.000-07:00

I'm cleaning out my music library. There's a lot on there that I haven't listened to in ages, and whenever it comes up on shuffle I just skip right over it, so there's really no point keeping it there. My iPod really needs a cleanup too. It's hit 4gb and it won't hold anymore songs. I'd like an iPod Touch for my birthday but until then, I'm stuck with the 4gb.

HTML and L4D.

2009-07-17T06:17:00.000-07:00

My blog has comments now! Hooray. Unfortunately I forgot to add them to the layout I made yesterday, so if anyone is actually going to use it, they won't have comments unless they add them in themselves. The page I used to add them in is here. I'd really like to start another layout, but I'm so uncreative. All my layouts usually end up the same - small font, pretty small container, boring colours and in the top-left corner. Usually image-free too because I'm not the greatest with images, especially not when they need to be integrated into a layout around them. I didn't pay enough attention in HTML last semester.

I ended up going out tonight with a couple of my friends to The Bunker, an internet cafe in the city. We started at the Cyber Lounge but the atmosphere was sort of.. cramped. And dark. And it was full of WoW nerds.

Also they didn't have Left 4 Dead, and that's what we wanted to play.

I had a friend working there, and he let us play Counterstrike for a while without charging us, but eventually we left to check out the two other net cafes in the area. The Bunker was just across from the Cyber Room, and the atmosphere was a lot nicer. The walls were brick too, so that was pretty cool. It was laid out nicer, and we all got computers next to each other, so that helped. But most important, it had L4D! We spent about one and a half hours on the Dead Air campaign on advanced. I was playing as Bill and my friends were Louis and Francis, and for the first few minutes we had Zoey on A.I. Someone joined but left pretty fast, and shortly after that another guy joined and played through the rest of the campaign with us. Unfortunately we never got around to finishing. We got stuck on the stupid final. The furthest we got was the gas tank at 3/4 full, but then a second tank came along and incapacitated all of us. I wanted to keep going but my friends were already quitting.

It was already about 8:30pm by then. Me and one of my friends had made plans to bleach/dye the underside of my hair tonight, but by the time we went and ate something and waited forever in the line, it was 9pm, and all the chemists and pharmacies were closed.

After that I just went home. And that was my night! How exciting.

...

PING PONG DOOR. I want this.

Simple dark layout.

2009-07-16T01:18:00.000-07:00

My first completely custom Blogger layout is now complete. It's very simple, but it works, and I like it.

The layout can be found here.

Click for larger image.

I forgot to take a screenshot with an active link, rollover links are in caps and have a green background, and a resize cursor.

Feel free to edit the layout to your liking, but please do not remove the link in the credits to my blog.

Mini update.

2009-07-15T23:36:00.000-07:00

I'm working on another blog layout. I'm not sure if I'll use it once it's done, but I'll upload the HTML here in case anyone else would want to use it. It's pretty simple, but it beats the default ones at least.

Now I have to go back and keep trying to get hold of my friends to see if we can go to an internet cafe in the city and play Left 4 Dead tonight.

Link buddies?

2009-07-15T04:22:00.000-07:00

I love linking to other peoples' blogs/sites/Twitters/whatevers. :3 If you would like me to link to your site in my sidebar (and a link back would be nice!) you can leave a comment on this blog or email me at fratellish@hotmail.com!
