...So, to apologize for the lack of blogs for yesterday and Sunday.
On Sunday, I'd got myself worked up during blogging time.
Blogging time is between the hours of 10 and 12.
Only today, I'm blogging earlier.
I'd gotten myself worried to an extent where I panicked so much I had restricted my breathing. Being an athsmatic, this wasn't good - then I couldn't find my salbuatmol inhaler, thus, I panicked more.
I spent the next hour or so trying to calm myself down.
But having taken too much of the inhaler, I couldn't stop shaking.
My fingers were shaking the most, but my bottom lip was trembling, and my knees jerked on occassion.
Rather an uncomfortable time.
Yesterday, I was too taken up with wallowing in my own misery to start with - then I began re-writing chapter 29 of Fire of Glory, and I got a bit absorbed in it.
Along with that, I was also talking to Vicki.
Talking about the old times.
How I miss them.
How I miss the old days with Vicki.
It was Vicki who introduced me to MindSay, too...
So, I didn't ever get the chance to mention I was due a dental check-up today.
Being a dentaphobic, this wasn't my idea of fun.
As soon as I was in there, sat in the waiting room with dad, I could hear people being drilled in the other surgery rooms.
Having been drilled myself, I know it's not fun.
The noise itself is far worse when it's in your own mouth, of course, but I couldn't stand to hear this awful noise.
My dentist is scary.
She is really small, she stands even shorter than I do - and I'm a short arse at 5"1.
She wears pinstripe trousers, or checquered trousers.
She's got dark skin, dark eyes, and a flat-top haircut.
She doesn't sound scary by my description - but I think it's the fact that she's a DENTIST that scares me.
I've just finished reading one of Adam's blogs.
He doesn't blog as much as me - but his are a great read.
They never fail to make me smile. - Which is always good.
I'm well into my music organising.
I'm onto the R-S folder now.
I've organised all of my soundtracks into their respecting folders.
But saying that, I have a lot of things I want to download.
There's some songs I'm still to get from Guitar Hero 2, as well as some more Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.
There's also some more songs I want from certain bands and certain albums that I like.
And I'm after getting some of the songs from Rolling Stone's 500 greatest song list, which is on their website here.
One song that was in my downloads folder for AGES, and I hadn't even listened to was Valley Of The Damned, by Dragonforce.
It's so much better than Through The Fire & Shite.
It would be a far better song to play on a Guitar Hero game.
It also reminds me very much so of Fire of Glory.
Yesterday, I was discussing with Emily all of the things that I wouldn't have done, have in my possession, or have thought about, etc - if I hadn't met her.
I've been taken some more thought to it, and I'm ready to make a list.
- Fan fictions and original works which wouldn't exist:
- Fire Of Glory wouldn't exist.
- Nor would the playlist, any of the artwork, all of the in-jokes, or many of the shared experiences Emily and I have gained via creating reenactment videos, recordings and Planerium characters.
- Experiment #1263: The Beginning wouldn't exist.
- #1263 herself wouldn't exist, for she was created, based on Emily herself. None of the secondary characters wouldn't exist either. It's all down to Fire of Glory that Experiment #1167 was created, and it also helped in aiding the development of Experiment #1264's character.
- One Goomba's Adventures In Glitzville wouldn't exist.
- I wrote this before I met Emily, but it was Emily who encouraged me to keep writing it. Fire of Glory also helped to aid the continual of it, due to the similar themes, such as setting and characters.
- The Fox & The Houndour wouldn't exist.
- The whole story stemmed from the idea of having a sibling of a character going missing. I had the idea of an Eevee family playing a major part. Emily and I are both fans of Eevee; and the character I had in mind was both named after her, and built up around her personality.
- Super Mario Bros. VS Planet Earth! wouldn't exist.
- I got my inital idea involving the Mario brothers taking a trip to Canada and bashing it for all they were worth. - Naturally, this idea stemmed from my Canadian friend.
- Black Sheep Of The Flock wouldn't exist
- You could call this story "War & Peace 2". Instead of continuing with War & Peace, I started a new fic. Inspired by my new internet persona at the time; Dixie Stonehall. Her best friend was also based off Emily, sharing her apperance and name, though having a varied personality.
- Fortnight With A Friend wouldn't exist
- The whole idea was stemmed from Emily and myself wondering what we'd do if we got the chance to meet. Naturally, she played a huge part in the brainstorming for this.
- Many of my other fics would have been discontinued if it were not for Emily's reviews and encouragements.
Bands I would not be listening to now:
- Pink Floyd
- Pink Floyd were discovered along with a few new songs when I typed in 'Emily' as a keyword search. I found See Emily Play, and loved it. I then downloaded more of their songs, and grew to love them.
- Thousand Foot Krutch
- A band reccomended to me by Emily. One of the 'three', as I like to call them. The best of the three, I'd say. I only like two of their songs so far, but.
- Red
- Another of the 'three', I also only like two of their songs. Emily reccomended them to me, also.
- Skillet
- The final of the 'three' - I really hate this band, but I have an odd liking for three of their songs. They're nowhere near as good as the two above, however. I often make jokes about them - mainly how terrible their singer is - but. As I say, not for Emily, I'd have not heard of them.
- Dropkick Murphys
- Thompson Twins
- Jonas Brothers
- Three Days Grace
- The Ramones
- All of these, I found whilst doing keyword searches for the FoG playlist. Three Days Grace and Jonas Brothers were found by Emily - the others were found by me.
Games I wouldn't own
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
- Pokémon XD
- Mario Party DS
- Emily reccomended these three to me, all of which, I now own - and really enjoy playing.
Everything else:
- I wouldn't have started drawing in my black folder. - My black folder contains artwork from #1263: The Beginning and Fire of Glory. As I mentioned, were it not for Emily, these would not exist.
- I wouldn't have some of the wonderful gifts Emily has sent me.
- Relating to above - I would never have tasted Lifesavers.
- My obsession with Canada wouldn't be as extreme.
- I'd be lacking in some of the knowledge I now have - I still might not know what a Zamboni was.
- I wouldn't have made some of my wav mixes - like LFBR and TLSOB.
- I wouldn't have made some of my videos - like the Masterball Glitch or some video blogs.
- I might be lacking a hell of a lot more in self confidence - Emily helped me recover a lot from my former self.
- I'd be missing a lot of important memories.
- Of course... you can't forget... If I'd not met Emily - I'd be missing a very important friend, who I can no longer focus or function without.
