I fucking hate half term breaks. They're so boring.
I love the fact I'm off college - because I despise it so - but I usually find myself sitting around wasting my time.

For lunch, I ate chicken flavour noodles and a bag of meatballs. I made noodles and meatball sandwiches with them - and they were ever so fucking lush. It's one thing I'm doing again in the near future with the other bag of meatballs.

I've spent a lot of the day downloading music - I was off on a massive downloading fit. I was mainly getting all the songs from the Guitar Hero: World Tour setlist, but was also downloading the rest of Rammstein's new album. I'm yet to listen to it - but if Pussy is anything to go buy, it should be pretty mint. :D

As for gaming, I tried to get a few more collectables on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I know I'll never get a true 100%, because the boss trophies are a cunt in the arse to get - but I could get pretty close.
I managed to do Boss Battles on normal with Meta Knight - fuck knows why I've never done it before, it was a pile of piss - but I couldn't do it on hard because Tabuu is a cheaty twat and gets off too many lucky shots.

I played a few levels on the CD Factory and added about 12 new stickers to my collection - then spent like 3000 coins on the Coin Launcher to gather a few more new trophies. Brawl is so beasty. I don't think I'll ever get close to getting anywhere near 100%.

I got sick of it after a while so tried to play Crash Bash - I went from 101% to 107% - but then the cheaty slag CPU players started pissing me off. The relic challenges - win two in a row - I can always win the first one, but then their AI like triples when I go to get the 2nd one and I can never do it.

I ate hotdogs for tea and watched a few hours of the Spongbob Squarepants marathon. I think that's like the only time I've watched TV this week. I proper don't sit infront of a telly screen unless it's wired up to a console. :)

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

I amused myself via YouTube - watching episodes of Bear In The Big Blue House and the Channel 4 documentary Half-Ton Son - yes, a massive contrast I know.

Ash was on MSN, so I talked with her for a while - but I ended up having another heartfelt conversation with her. She's so understanding over MSN. She's got to be like me - way way better in writing than she is in words. She even gave me virtual hugs.
I was telling her about Wednesday and how shitloads of things are starting to dwell on my mind - especially the things I've done to her, like spitting on her and punching her.
She said she's not bitter about them, but I just responded: "Even if you weren't and showed no signs, I'd still think you were."

Sigh, why am I so fucking paranoid about EVERYTHING?

Here's to you, O Fellow Smoker, sitting in your plastic chair and sparking up a fag, just like me, right outside your apartment door, just like me, not ten feet away from me, not three drags ahead or behind me. Here's to you, determinedly looking away--but for surreptitiously curious glances--from every other living thing, just like me, and fiercely refusing, like me, to make conversation. Inevitably, one of us stands to leave, glancing awkwardly, nearly apologetically, at the five or six others also indulging in our sick, carcinogenic ritual. someone grunts, unimpressed, in dismissal and the cigarette-finisher leaves. Heres to us, the cancerous isolationists; may our silence weigh heavier with every drag and may it not be quelled with the snubbing of the cherry.

I LOVE PARKER!!!!

He finally called me back regarding the job in Northampton.  We talked on the phone for over half an hour, and it was amaaaaaaaaaaaazing to catch up with him.  I have missed being around him and laughing with him.  I am NOT a phone person, but that was one of the easiest calls of my life; and it flew by.  I don't know; we've just always gotten along so well and it was great to hear his voice and his candid way of describing things.

Here's what we know so far:
He was offered the job in pre-k, and then he was told NOT to sign that contract, because there was a spot working with a 1st grader with autism (probably Robert).  Well THEN they said, 'no, don't take that, there's a spot at the middle school' and it turns out, the job is with A, which would be amazing because he knows A, and A knows him, and he knows all of A's little things.  So he took that job, and then got a phone call that there's a woman at Mohawk who was offended it wasn't offered to her.  So they're meeting tomorrow to talk, because he's not sure the woman realizes all the bathroom stuff, and how he might "grab girls boobies" and stuff.  So they're meeting.  And he said, "I told them a girl I work with has a potential job for me in Northampton, and they said, 'we don't want to lose you!' but if the dick me around too much... I'll call you tomorrow".

O.M.G.  How amazing would it be to have Parker in my classroom for another year?  We work really well together, and he admits my K-5 set-up is banaaaaaaaaaaaaanas, but having him there... it would be a huge mental health thing for me.  HUGE.  And good for morale, and good for my boy-laden class to have a male presence (we had a good laugh about when they'd asked me about my last para, and I said that he and I had gotten along well and they said, "oh, he was a man!?" and I was like, "Yeah, he would be a man").

Trying to not get my hopes up too high...but also printing out an application for him anyway :).
I'm Joe Dirting anda saying, you can't have 'no' in your heart.

Summer Accomplishments:
- Completed band career 100% - (GH: Greatest Hits)

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


Today's actually been better than I expected. :)
I couldn't get to Ashleigh's because of dad's dodgy shifts, so she came here instead.

Before she came though, mam was in my room on my computer writing AN ANGRY COMPLAINT LETTER.
She bought these red towels from Next - and they're a nice colour and quite soft, they just have a tendancy to cover everywhere in a layer of red fluff. You can't even dry yourself with them without getting covered in random moutled bits.

So she went onto the Next website and started writing out this e-mail to them.
I read it over so I could correct her spelling and grammar errors.
(She just doesn't know how to get a CAPITAL I....)

It was so bloody funny though - she even slagged off Primark by saying summat along the lines of: "OH MURR, IF I'D GOT THEM FROM PRIMARK I'D EXPECT SHODDY QUALITY."

Then she twisted the truth. I AM asthmatic - but when she said: "AND MY ASTHMATIC DAUGHTER CANNOT EVEN USE THE TOWELS" - that's bending it a bit too far. :)

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

Ashleigh brought her slider-panel Metallica guitar with her today.
Nice one - we were both using guitars we were comfortable with.

I didn't feel at my strongest, so I played on Hard instead of Expert.
I still did lead though - Ash went on bass.

We managed to complete the entire career - from the end of level 2 (as Shelly and I had done the first few songs on Wednesday) right up to the TTFAF finale on level 8.

And we didn't get a single three star!
It's five stars all the way with the odd four star on the dodgy songs.

Christ, Beast & The Harlot - I almost got 100% on it.
And I only didn't because of a few silly errors.
AND IT'S ON LEVEL SEVEN.

I KNOW I can FC that - I'm gonna give it a go soon. :)

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

It's weird - when I'm playing GH WITH someone - I can talk to them.
When someone's watching me - I can't. It puts me off something chronic.

So as we spent these few glorious hours sitting together on my bed, drinking Pepsi, eating Pom-Bears and playing GH: Greatest Hits - we held many-a random conversation. :)

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

Ash is so cute. :)

When I was downstairs, making our food - she shouts: "Dixie....!"
I go: "...What Ash?"
She goes: "...Come heeeeeeere...!"
I go up, get to the bathroom and say: "What is it, Ash?"
She mumbles: "I need one of your paaaads..."

I actually didn't laugh at her - I could see she was embarrassed - so I went and got her one. Graciously. :)

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

I made us both hot-dogs for our tea.
We sat outside in the back garden on the pub bench.
It was sunny, but we get a lot of shade in our garden because of Wendy's beasty tree in the garden next door.

It was quite soothing - especially since we were sat by the lavender bushes.
Lavender makes me super-relaxed and calm. :)

I had three hot-dogs - two with cheese, one without.
Ash had three hot-dogs, one with cheese, two without, all with ketchup.

Then I offered her one of the RANDOM CHOCOLATE BALLS.

Mam came in the other day and said: "Oh, there's some chocolate cake things in the fridge."
They're like little cups of chocolate sponge cake with chocolate icing, chocolate sauce in the middle and chocolate chips on the top. They're fucking nectar - and Ash agreed. :)

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

When we'd eaten, we went back to Guitar Hero.
We went on to Quickplay - as I'd got the urge to go on vocals.

I wanted to prove to Ash how hard it was for me to get 5 stars on Them Bones playing Expert vocals.
Simply because my voice is too high and there's a few lines that I can't sing.

I only went and fucking got FIVE.
Seriously, you try and prove you CAN'T do something, and you CAN...

I also sang Cult Of Personality (on request by Ash, because she likes it) and Play With Me.
Shelly told me to see if Ash could pass it on Hard lead guitar. She did - she didn't fail that epically. She got about 89%.

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

The most amusing moment of today was definatley TTFAF. :)

Ash was complaing about how easy it was on bass when we played it during the career.
So I suggested she play it on guitar while I sing it.

I was singing the chorus with varying voices and octaves - I went from Princess Peach to a random cave ogre, to a bloke with a snotty nose to a lopsided dwarf - then I'd SQUEAL.
Ash was in absolute fits. :)

Not only that - but Ash seemed to be scraping her way through it - so when I had no lyrics to sing, I was making up my own to the tune of the song, regarding Ash's current performances.

And it was SO exact! It was super-spontaneous, but it fitted to the lyrics so well.
Just imagine this to the tune of TTFAF:

I fail at hammer-ons,
I fail at slider notes,
I fail at open strums,
I fail at GENERAL strums,
I fail at orange,
I fail at blu-uuu-ue!
I fail at green-red-YELLOOOOOOOOW!!!

I fail at whammy bar,
I fail at star power,
I fail all the tiiiiiiii-iiime!!

No wonder Ash was failing - she was doubled up laughing half the time. :)

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

I got Ash laughing again after this - we went on YouTube and watched some videos in my favourites.

Just like Lewis did, she was pissing herself at Brookers' Harry Potter parody video.
Along with the "Hello DAVE!" video, random CassetteBoy videos and YouTube poops.

I even showed her Give Me Back My Spleen - the video that Ashley Robson and the knobhead boys made in year 11.
I have nothing against Ashley, Garrie, Lamby or Foxon - but the rest of them were absolute dickheads.

Ash was just amused at how bad it was. :)

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

And before Ash left - we spent a while discussing DATWBSVOH. :)
She gave me some more ideas, and inspired me of a way to unstick myself.

I'm currently stuck at a section where the two main rivals are arguing and insulting each other - and I wasn't sure on how to end it.
I've decided that Andrew Eagle is going to twist Ashleigh Sparrow's wrist back over on itself, making her cry, almost.

I tested this move on the real Ashleigh - so I could document her reaction to it.
Her voice went proper high. :D

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

I've spent a lot of time tonight on MSN, talking to Kyle and Adam.

I really need to talk to Kyle more often.
He's matured a lot - he's not once said something stupid in the past few days.
I've got him interested in the Backloggery, and he's made an account on it.

We spend a lot of time discussing games, mainly.

We were both shocked and amused when Kyle asked me who the most annoying character in video game history was.
We both typed our answer simultaneously - Ashley Graham from Resident Evil 4. :)

With Adam - he's just being Adam.
Getting drunk on Peach schnapps while we both sent each other YouTube links to Countdown bloopers. :D

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

This blog shall go to prove just HOW easily amused I can be...
With the aid of a copy & paste from a trusty MSN conversation window...

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

Lewis says:
I've lost my timetable for tomorrow, could you look at yours and tell me what blocks we have please?
   Der-Metzgermeister     says:
C block, A block, F block, E block. :)
   Der-Metzgermeister     says:
LMAO IT SPELLS CAFE.
   Der-Metzgermeister     says:
ROFL!!!!!!!
   Der-Metzgermeister     says:
Oh I'm so fucking sad. :)
Lewis says:
Lmfao, I wouldn't of noticed. :D
Lewis says:
Lol cafe
   Der-Metzgermeister     says:
Rofl, so either I'm sad, observant - or both.
Lewis says:
Observant, because it was funny.

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

I'm glad Lewis didn't agree with me and call me sad. :)

I then proceeded to copy the above to Adam.
I'm glad he was amused by it. Lmfao, I love sharing my weird sense of humour with my friends. :D
