Can't believe I've never posted this on my blog before.
Photos from Harrogate.
Tuesday, 27 July 2010
Harrogate
I had an amazing weekend that I should really blog about it while I remember some of the details.
On Saturday, I got to Harrogate, met up with Livi about a minute later, we went around town for a bit, then went back to hers for a while. Then we decided to go into Leeds to this pub called The New Roscoe to see a band called Black Water. I've mentioned the singer before, Harry. I met him at Download, hadn't really spoken to him since, and I just turned up. I didn't really get to speak to him properly, but I was informed that he was a bit high when he saw me. But his band were really good. Me and Livi were quite drunk. There were some mental moshers. Livi was just like "S T O P" and it was the most hilarious moment of my life.
Sunday was an uneventful day. Me and Livi had a craving for burgers, so we got some, ate them, and watched Torchwood for the rest of the day. It's actually a badass show that I want to watch more of very soon. Nearly finished it actually. It was a good uneventful day though. Livi got attacked by a massive moth. I woke up early and then got a really nice text from Todd about half an hour later and it just put me in a good mood for the rest of the day.
Monday was my last full day. Me and Livi went into Leeds for a while in the afternoon and spent ages in Boots and Paperchase. And we went for noodles in this noodle bar and it was the best thing I've ever eaten. Livi couldn't use chopsticks. It was hilarious. Then it was back to hers, Lewis got there at some point (the last time I saw him, he accidentally kicked me in the head xD), then this girl called Laura appeared while I was getting ready. We pre-drank. We watched a lot of TV. We left, we couldn't be arsed to find somewhere in Harrogate to drink so we went back to Livi's, and played Fuzzy Duck which is my new favourite drinking game. Then I passed out. Can't remember how I got from the living room into Livi's room to save my life.
I hated saying goodbye to Livi today.
I'll blog the pictures tomorrow.
Miserable At Best.
Saturday, 24 July 2010
Before I go to Leeds tomorrow I'm looking back at these unpublished posts, and actually posting most of them, just because I can. And because it's annoying that I've done nearly 400 posts on this thing and a lot of them are unpublished. It's confusing.
I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday. I'll have an update for you on Tuesday. When I get back. Me and Livi are going to be writing fanfiction this weekend, because we can, and fanfiction is totally how we met.
I'll talk to you soon, anyone who's reading.
______________________________
Miserable at Best - Mayday Parade
Katie, don't cry, I know
You're trying your hardest
And the hardest part is letting, go
Of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright
And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but i want it so
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
You're all that I hoped I'd find
In every single way
And everything I could give
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
'Cause I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
But I need it
So, let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
ladada ladada ladadaoh ohhh
And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you
And I can't speak
Been three whole days since I've had sleep
'Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that I'm not that strong
And I miss the lips that made me fly
So let's not pretend that you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
But without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you but
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best

I don't want to be a bitch to the people I care about, but sometimes I really can't fucking help myself. When they invite me to go places, I shouldn't throw it back in their faces. When they want to hug me, I shouldn't make some excuse up about checking my phone. When they just want to hang out, I should let them, and I should enjoy it.
I feel so fucking uncomfortable in my own skin. I'm so scared that I'm never going to be good enough because every time I try and get my confidence up, someone always kicks dirt in my face and insults me. Someone always makes up some bullshit excuse and I believe it.
I don't want to be this person any more. I want to be the person that someone can give a shit about. I just want people to care. And I always say this, but I don't even know how to begin to change.
I can change my aesthetics all I fucking well please but it's just pretty wrapping paper on a box full of shit.
I'd Like My Densha Now.

Anime Questions.
Tuesday, 20 July 2010
1 - Very first anime - Pokemon, of course.
2 - Favourite anime you've watched so far - Uhm, I can't choose~! But I'll go with Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. Followed closely by Fullmetal Alchemist, Kino's Journey and Gurren Lagann.
3 - Your anime crush - Ohgodthisistoohard. Hei from Darker Than Black
4 - Anime you're ashamed you enjoyed - Ahaha, there's only one I can think of and that's Kampfer. I enjoyed the first half quite a bit before it started getting absolutely, lesbo-rifically ridiculous.
5 - Anime character you feel you are most like (or wish you were) : Konata from Lucky Star. So many people liken me to her, but I wish I was more Mio from K-On! really.
6 - Most annoying anime character - I will say this with pride; I cannot stand Miyuki from Lucky Star
7 - Favorite anime couple - Nia and Simon. Oh my god
8 - Most epic scene ever - I'd need a spoiler tag so I could go into detail, but I will say Kittan from Gurren Lagann and people who have seen it should just understand.
9 - Saddest anime scene - The end of Gurren Lagann. I cry every bloody time.
10 - Favorite slice of life anime - K-On! or Lucky Star. I could never choose between the two.
11 - favorite mech series - There's only one mech series that I really enjoyed and that was Gurren Lagann. Their mechs were like weird-ass people!
12 - Cosplay of your ‘waifu’ or Husbando’
13 - current (or most recent) anime wallpaper
14 - Favorite tsundere - I'm going oranyan on this question and saying Kyo from Fruits Basket.
15 - Favourite shojo anime - I don't watch all that much shojo anime, but I'll go with Fruits Basket.
16 - Favorite boy’s love couple (or yuri couple, if you don’t like that sort of thing) - I don't really watch either. So I can't really answer this properly.
17 - Anime you think had the best, or most intrigueing art - Hm, hard one. I really love the art from Kino's Journey.
18 - Favorite anime hero or heroine - This is hard. Edward Elric I suppose.
19 - Best anime villian - Lord Genome. He was badass.
20 - Your favorite harem anime - I usually loathe harem anime. It's so freakin' cliché and stupid, but I guess Ouran was pretty much a harem, so there you go.
21 - Favorite anime opening theme song - Hardest question ever. Seriously. Oh my god. I'll go with Boku Ga Boku No Mama by The Spin, from Basquash. This will seriously change in a day.
22 - Favorite pokemon - Vulpix, Luxray or Pikachu. Never make me choose between them.
23 - Favorite school uniform - Can't beat the Haruhi uniform, for either gender, I'm sorry.
24 - Favorite anime ending theme - No! Thank you! - K-On!! or Minna No Peace from Gurren Lagann.
The Argos Game
Not gonna lie, even though I look awful in these photos, I love them because of the guy that I'm with in them. He's a star. Love you Shmimon. He's about the only guy who will wait patiently while I pick out bowls. Which I'm very happy about.
We played a game in Argos today which must've killed ten minutes, where we would just type numbers into the machine and the first one to get a result would win. I won, because I cheated and came up with a treadmill, just because I wanted the game to end. I recommend it, it's a good play.
I'm going to do more productive stuff with this blog as soon as I've gotten back from Leeds next week. I don't leave until Saturday, but I have stuff to do until then. But that's a promise.
The Inbetweeners = Love
Favourite British TV show, ever. Bring on series three please~!
All I Ever Learned, I learned from Anime.
1. War Sucks
2. You can have too many women
3. Smart people wear glasses.
4. Music foreshadows plot.
5. The less you care about sex, the more opportunities you'll get
6. And the harder you try, the less you'll get.
7. When you die, make a long speech, and don't finish the last sentence.
8. Snow means love.
9. Cherry Blossoms mean nostalgia.
10. The best teams come in fives.
11. In space, you can hear everything.
12. There's always room for flashbacks!
13. The good guy always has the blue glow.
14. Honour is sexy; villainy is irresistible
15. Women are attracted to losers; men are attracted to ANYTHING
16. The coolest weapon is still the sword
17. The green-haired alien girl will always betray her people for the man she loves
18. School uniforms are cool only when the collar is open.
19. A show without sexual tension isn't worth watching.
20. Love knows no race, species, or logic.
21. Never trust a huge corporation
22. Romance never comes simpler than in a triangle.
23. You can never have too much hair.

31. Nothing delays romance like unruly neighbors.
32. The most virtuous character will die.
33. Hot water has innumerable benefits.
34. No matter how much blood is lost, no one can die by a nosebleed.
35. If a sister falls in love with her brother, somewhere down the line you will discover that they're not blood related.
36. All demons/monsters have enormous genitalia.
37. All young children can pilot mecha, you just need to give them a few days.
38. It is possible to incorporate martial arts into any aspect of life.
39. All high school kids in Japan have parents that are away on extended business trips.
40. The oldest sister is the nice one, the youngest sister is the brash one.
41. You can do anything to the human body as long as you hit the right pressure point.
42. Consuming enormous amounts of alcohol daily will never have ill effects.
43. All major villains either want to take over the world or blow it up.
44. Everyone in Japan has excellent singing voices.
45. No matter how many times you rebuild, Tokyo keeps getting destroyed in a massive fireball.
46. The martial arts expert is always defenseless against a slap from the girl who loves him.
47. When women are sent out to fight the bad guys, there's always a hunk busily watching over them, often in secret.
48. The longer it takes to say what your punch is called, the less effective it is.
49. "Baka" does not mean a student going for his baccalaureate degree.
50. The more possessive a woman gets, the less likely she will end up with the man of her dreams.
51.No matter how big the mech/labor/mobile suit is, if it runs around the corner, the guy chasing it loses the trail.
52. The fate of the planet rests in the hands of the seemingly normal high school student.
53. The heroine must shred her clothes while transforming into something to fight the bad guys.
54. True evil can never be destroyed, only banished to some nether realm where it awakes after a few hundred years.
55. Even the bravest souls can be made weak and helpless by the sight of a cute little puppy or kitten.
56. Never love a Gundam pilot : you're just destined for disappointment (or a funeral).
57. All persons under the age of 50 can do a ten foot vertical jump from a standing position.
58. ESP causes more trouble than it solves

63. All high school principals in Japan are clinically insane.
64. All people with esper powers give off multicolored auras.
65. Just about any outer space villain has his sights set on destroying the Earth.
66. A samurai sword can cut through anything.
67. All characters over the age of 60 shrink in height in direct proportion to their age.
68. Anime villians have the best deaths.
69. Any love interest will always be possesed by a demon.
70. If the anime has the word "idol" in the title, then you know that it has to be good.
71. There is no such thing as a public anime showing without heckling.
72. You can spot how popular a show is by looking at the number of H doujinshi it has.
73. The English words in Jpop songs are put there only because they sound good, since they don't make any sense with the rest of the lyrics.
74. The hero always loses the first fight with a new enemy.
75. Don't trust the guys with two earrings.
76. Any truly evil person who changes sides for the woman he loves will die in that episode.
77. You CAN do it, but only when it's funny or REALLY important.
78. Hair comes in every shade of the rainbow - and we do mean pink, purple, blue, green....
79. The song "Cry Me a River" takes on a whole new meaning.
Clear Out. Help?
Monday, 19 July 2010
I've been clearing out a lot of my stuff lately, and I don't really know why, I've given 3 black bags of clothes to charity, and I plan to clear out a bit more.
But I'm selling a bunch of manga and anime dvds and general anime goods at Amecon and JCC, and before I have to cart it all around the country to bring and buys and get my 10% fee taken off what I want, I thought I'd give people who I know first dibs, so if you want anything from the list below, give me a shout.
If you're interested in anything, but not sure what it is, I'll link them to either pictures or MyAnimeList information pages.
I should also point out, all of my manga is kept in amazing condition, so all the books are like new, most have never been read though. There's only one badly damaged book that I'm selling, and I've pointed it out below.
Manga
Anime
Claymore Chapters 1 and 2 - Eps 1 - 10 - £5
Claymore Chapters 3 and 4 - Eps 11 - 18 - £5
Bleach Season 1 Part 1 - Eps 1 - 12 - £5
Games
Killer 7 - Gamecube - £10
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates - Nintendo DS - £4
Other
If you know anyone who'd be interested in anything, could you please link them this way? Preferably people who you know in real life so I don't have to think about postage, please.
Emotions.
Thursday, 15 July 2010
Something just hit me incredibly hard. I don't really know what I should do with this. I don't know if I feel happy or not.

Pretty~
So I decided to get a new layout, but I can't be bothered to sort out all the info I have to put on it. Stress~ So here's a run down of the past week since my post about Matthew, who is getting better as we speak :D
Saw my old friends Maria, Kerrie and Stacey, and met Maria's son, Zach.
Went out drinking, met Ryan, had a great time, then threw up and fell asleep on Claky in the smoking area of Rock City. Woke up the next day at Ryan's. He was a lovely guy.
Then I got a tattoo on Monday, which I'll post a picture of cause it's my first tattoo and that's a big deal. The tattoo artist was fucking awesome.
Tuesday I went to pit tip for a while with Simon, Claky, Laura and Logan (Simon's nephew) which was lovely.
Wednesday and Thursday were MAJOR anime watching days. I finished Arakawa Under The Bridge, watched a load of new season stuff and stormed my way through Dokoro-Chan 2.
Friday, I saw my friend Bekky for the first time in years and it was bloody wicked. We went out for coffee, but I had hot chocolate. It was a good time. Then I saw Eclipse. Wasn't bad. Wasn't great either though, to be honest.
And there's my week. I tried tumblr, but I just love Blogspot far too much.

Thursday, 1 July 2010
All I can ask of you is to keep this man in your prayers. He is Matthew Leone. He is my hero, and he needs your thoughts, love and energy more than I ever could. I'll never ask for anything again, just pray for him. He doesn't deserve this, he's one of the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. I can't get my head around this.
