Dear Die-ary...

Yes, a year ago on this very date, I started my blog. This blog. Aah, let's go back to that magical first post.

Thingy
Hello. Today, I feel... bored. Skool is boring. Whoo. This is great, innit? Bye

Wasn't that AMAZING?? Ok, so, no it wasn't. Back then I didn't know what a blog was, or how to use it. I just wanted a piece of the action. To set things straight, I probably wrote 'innit' to imitate a chav, as back then I used to say 'innit' to take the p1ss outta chavs. I most likely wrote that garbage because I didn't want to use the blog 'the wrong way'. Check back there yourself; it's still there. I didn't delete it because... well, it was my first post after all. The emazing day... that I started my blog. I don't actually remember creating it... well, yes, I do, but only vaguely. You know, I find that if you make a blog, the time goes by very slowly. Verrrrry slowly. Day-wise, I mean, progressing through the year. But anyway, by the time I made the second post, I knew how to use a blog. And that's how I got to where I am today!! At a computer.

Actually, today, a lot of things happened. Today was the last day of term for animation classes. Time to cry. *WAAAAAAAAAAAAH* OK, enough of that. But the good thing is, I did manage to shoot those two cartoons I've been meaning to shoot. One includes Vampeep, and the other includes the golfing guy in "Golf Swing" and one of the Olsen twins. No, no, it's difficult to explain. But anyway, the golf-swinging guy and Olsen twin one was so FREAKIN' LONG. That took about 2 hours to shoot and edit. Not that I'm so slow, it's that the more frames there are, the longer it takes to preview movie. I'd say... about 30 frames makes the loading 1 minute long. That animation was more than 300 frames long. Plus, there were 4 layers of frames. But in the end, it was taking SO LONG that we had to ditch the waiting and leave it at the end of the lesson for it to save. And now it's all over. Well....

There's still next term.

The rest of the day I was out. Buying presents for the mass of birthday peoples. Why are June and July such popular times for birthdays? There's Hannah's birthday... My brother's... Fred's... Charlie's... Evil's... And many more that I can't think of right now. So I went around, supposedly buying presents, but ended up buying more things for myself. I don't get out much, please forgive me. I did draw quite a bit of attention to myself when I bought 2 glow-in-the-dark bats. I didn't care. I actually had quite a few bat-related incidents today. One was I found a video tape on vampire bats, and I found a light-up pen with a bat inside. But, most of the time I was endeavoring to get a calligraphy set. No luck, no luck... However, I did see something that rather interested me... It was a magazine. No, not a plastic magazine, or a Thomas the Tank Engine magazine. It was a retero gamer's 'zine. I'd heard about that, so I started reading it. I wish I didn't, because I got nostalgia. Now I have an undying urge to get out my old Amiga. I love Amigas... *sigh* I remember this symbol so much, I almost miss it...

It's the symbol for when there's no floppy disk inserted. Or when it's just playing up. I used to get it a lot. What I'd give to see that familiar screen again...

Anyway, I was talking about birthdays. Yesterday was Hannah's party, to see X-Men 3. I didn't want to say it, but.......

I HATE ACTION MOVIES!!!!!!!

...except for James Bond.

So as you can see, I was In FoR a TrEaT. And let me tell you, it was much harder to understand, seeing as I haven't seen the previous 2. One of the characters, Jean, Gean? Jeen. Whatever her name was, she was a complete sl*t. OK, so, she snogged this guy who supposedly killed her (sorry if this is a complete spoiler), and then killed him. Then later, she *almost* scored a homerun with this other guy. It seemed that there were many cases of this throughout the movie, for example, a boy had a girlfriend, but if he touched her then he would die. So he went off with another girl. One other thing - psychics are not mutants. They're just superior humans. Not mutants. But anyway, I really didn't understand why there were two groups of 'mutants', but they were battling each other. Well... Hmm. I personally think that the best part of the movie was when Alice dropped the popcorn on the floor.

Yeah, well, I shouldn't really be writing this. I have relatives 'round that I only see once a year. They've been here for about half an hour. Maybe I should go say 'Hi'.
