Co-op Guitar Hero @ MindSay

I don't know how I manage to - but today, I managed to avert my self harming urges once more.

 

Perhaps it is Emily lingering on my mind.

...No, Emily does not linger.

 

Emily weighs heavily upon my mind - even though she's so light.

 

 

After thinking about her - thinking about her in the wrong way; remembering her tear-stricken face and her sorrow-smeared words, I felt very sad inside.

 

So I went to my stationery drawer, opened it, and stared in.

SR was there - resting on the top of my gel pens and felt tips.

 

I stared at him for a long time.

 

The last thing he was used for, was actually, to remove a staple.

I felt I'd use him for his true cause, and take out some staples.

 

So I destroyed my old RE book from year 9.

I drew pentagrams and anarchy signs in the name box.

Not very religious, I know - but I'm not.

 

 

 

I'm sick of not being able to write anything.

I'm so angry at staring at the same shitty divider, watching the cursor flashing underneath it.

 

The cursor is taunting me.

The flashing means that... Well, it's thinking "Har, I'm gonna stay here and flash at you because you can't think of anything to write."

 

Fucking cursor.

 

 

 

Adam was round today.

 

We spent some of the day playing co-op Guitar Hero III.

 

As usual, he was the one to get bored first, so he got his DS out and started playing Ace Attourney.

 

We did quite a few songs though - but the 5 star rating for Helicopter will be damn near impossible if he keeps shoving me on rhythm guitar and not lead.

 

The lead is EASIER, damn it!

 

 

I played some wi-fi co-op with Emily later.

At around 9, till about quarter past 10.

 

We did 7 songs with her on lead, then 5 with me on lead.

 

To take the piss dramatically, I chose One as my last song.

 

I barely scraped through it with a 4-star on Hard, nevermind sodding Expert.

So we failed, and I laughed - a lot.

 

 

 

When Adam and I were laid on my bed, being bored - I was scrolling through the setlist of GH3.

 

Being bored, we started making up parody names for the songs - replacing one word with "shit".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Today's song lyrics:

 

Vermillion Part 2 - Slipknot

 

She is everything to me...
The unrequited dream...
A song that no one sings...
The unattainable ...
She's a myth that I have to believe in...
All I need to make it real is one more reason...

And I don't know what to do...
I don't know what to do...
When she makes me sad...

But I won't let this build up inside of me...
I won't let this build up inside of me...

Today is Saturday.

Saturday the first of March.

 

...MARCH.

"Now, quick march!"

 

(Indeed, a quote from Fire of Glory, chapter 48, that Emily will indeed, instantly recognise.)

 

Every Saturday, nearly - I spend the day with my friend Adam.

I've known him for about nine years now.

We met in primary school, I think it was in about year two.

 

I was discussing the greatest video game ever - Final Fantasy VII - with someone else, and Adam joined in on the conversation, being a huge fan of it himself.

So it seems, if I didn't like that game, we may not even be friends.

 

The same could be said for Emily.

I met Emily through a fanfiction site called Fanfiction.net.

She'd wrote a story on there about the Gamecube game: Paper Mario: TTYD.

 

If I hadn't been addicted to the game at the time, I wouldn't have clicked the link, read the story, sent the reviews, sent the PMs, sent the e-mails, added a contact and started talking...

 

It seems odd that a simple obsession or passion can lead to gaining and breaking friends.

 

 

Adam was born in 1992, one year after me.

I'm not exactly a year older, it's a few months, rather than a year.

We're both in year eleven.

We both want to go to Middlesbrough college.

We both like Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

We're both slightly emo - or, so the chavs say.

 

We both like to drink Cherry Coke.

We both like to eat pizza.

I like cheese and onion crisps but he likes salt and vinegar.

He puts vinegar and tomato sauce on his chips - I leave mine dry.

 

 

This is a photo of Adam and I.

We took it today infront of the big mirror in my parents' room so we could see if we were both in focus.

I'm looking in the opposite direction to what he is.

 

I don't think I'm photogenic, and he thinks the same of himself.

Adam's holding the camera, and I have my hands in my pockets.

 

Adam likes online games, but I prefer offline.

We both like the occassional bit of J-pop, like Ayumi Hamasaki and Double You.

Adam likes anime, but I like cartoons.

 

Every Saturday we go across the field behind my house to the corner shop to buy chocolate and other junk food treats.

Adam usually pays for it - and I provide the pizza at lunchtime.

 

We've eaten pizza every Saturday for about five weeks now.

 

Today we played on the Wii downstairs - set up on the monster Sony Bravia 45" HD telly.

It makes your eyes sting sometimes.

 

We played Super Smash Bros. Melee.

We play team battles against two level nine computers.

I play as Peach and Adam plays as Sheik.

I tend to fight brutally, and Adam hides in the shadows and uses projectiles.

We win a lot, and we lose only to stupidly hard team combos like Fox and Falco, or Gannondorf and Captain Falcon.

 

We played coin matches, bonus matches and stock matches.

My favourite stage is Pokémon Stadium, Adam likes Hyrule Temple - but neither of us like each others' favourite stage.

 

I like small stages, Adam likes large ones with places to hide in.

We both like to use Pokéballs, Hammers and Green Shells as weaponry.

We share recovery items like Heat Containers and Maxim Tomatoes.

 

We're a good team, actually.

 

 

After that, we played Guitar Hero III.

We're pretty even, though Adam doesn't have GH3, he has GH1 - which is harder, because you can't perform hammer-ons and pull-offs.

 

We watched each other do a few songs.

I downloaded the whole GH3 soundtrack and sent it to Adam and Kyle.

He's got himself addicted to Radio Song, by Superbus. - So he tried that on Hard and Expert.

 

I tried playing on Expert, hyperspeed 5.

It's really difficult, the speed that the fretboard moves at makes you feel really sick.

 

We did some co-op songs and got some 5-star ratings.

Then we tried Through The Fire And Flames - by Dragonforce.

 

I tried doing rythm guitar with the Wii remote first - we only have one guitar, you see.

We got to about 60%, before we failed.

Then we swapped, and we lost at about 30% - I tend to play bass with the Wii-remote when we play on co-op. I don't mind. I'm quite good with both.

 

 

 

 

 

WE ARE STEALING YOUR SOUL.
