Have you ever fallen UP the stairs?
- Many a time.
Have you fallen down an entire flight of stairs?
- Yep, and it really hurt.
Have you ever licked a frozen pole and got stuck there?

Bored 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday was great.
Only, the problem I had was: I had too much to do, and not enough time to do it in.
I ate lunch at my nana's house, then went down my bro's house - and spent from one till half five playing Guitar Hero II.
For one thing - I like GH3 a lot more than GH2. And I'd say I probably like the song lineup on GH1 more than I do on GH2.
So now I have played 3/4 Guitar Heroes.
I haven't played Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The 80's.
But I do have the whole soundtrack on my PC.
Along with the full soundtrack to GH1, GH2 and GH3 - downloadable tracks, bonus tracks and exclusive tracks - all organised into special folders and playlists.
I have a very organised computer.
All of my files have to be in their own folders - all the names have to be spelt correctly, and most words need capital letters.
I cannot tolerate sloppy files.
But anyway.
There were a few songs that I really liked on GH2.
One mainly: Laid To Rest - by Lamb Of God.
That name is very misleading.
One would assume they were Christian avant-garde metal, or some such shizz.
Well, they're sort of "Satanic death metal", as Ian described it - but they're not. They're just another typical American heavy metal band. And they're very, very good.
Ian asked me round to complete all of his Medium scores with 5 stars, and unstick him on his Hard mode save.
The Thin Lizzy song; first time I'd heard it, first time I'd played it - on Hard, 5 stars, hands down.
I think I'm getting better.
Question)
...But how does she do it?
Answer)
- Dixie has been playing Guitar Hero 3 at least five days a week since Christmas 2007. She plays it for at least 4 hours on every of these days. She downloads soundtracks and listens to them. She learns the lyrics, she learns the melodies and tunes. She does finger workouts for her left hand - and having hands so small doesn't help.
Dixie keeps doing something she loves, and now she's playing Expert level happily.
Today seems the opposite.
I've got TONS OF TIME.
And NOTHING TO DO.
For the past few hours, I've been eating junk food (mainly Oreos, tee hee) and watching crappy telly programmes.
Though, I caught an old episode of my favourite gameshow EVER.
The almighty Catch Phrase.
I like it so much, I even have the BOARD GAME. :)
I'm getting used to this daily blogging thing.
Question)
...But how does she do it?
Answer)
- Dixie has motivation. A lot of my blogs are posted between the hours of 8:45 and 11:30.
That is the time where I get bored and have nothing else to do.
My photos are uploaded first with Photoshop.
Some are taken on a Kodak easyshare camera, and some are scanned.
Then they're resized with Photoshop, usually.
And, if I have nothing to blog about, I try to recall an event of the day, or some topic that is resting on my mind.
...There, so now you know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want to know how bored I was in English?
...THAT's how bored I was.
Give Dixie a A4 black ringbinder, a gold gel pen, and a boring English lesson - and that's what she comes up with.
I'm not the only one who partakes in folder destruction in 11E1, though.
Brett's folder is entirely white - he spends the lessons picking the black coating off.
Stephen's folder's front was ripped off entirely, and the silver latch inside torn out.
Lowrie's folder has a gaping hole carved into the front.
Everyone's folder has rips or writing on it somewhere.
Mine has a scuffed side, but no rips.
Mine has drawings in biro on the back, and golden randomness on the front.
I'm really proud of it, actually.
Tee hee.
And now for the close-ups!
"It all begins when the emo cries and the Indie rock plays."
...I don't know, I just decided that that corner needed something like that to spice it up.
The square root of 22 is now cabbage.
Dixie has decided.
Claire cleverly pointed out, that then that meant that cabbage squared was 22.
And she's correct.
Cabbage squared IS 22.
And that's the best one. :)
It's like those "stop reading my badges" pins.
Hey, it makes them all laugh, so why not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is really weird.
I've been deprived of Emily for nearly a week now.
I do miss her greatly - but it seems...
I don't miss her at all?
...It's not that I don't care. It's just, everything that relates to Emily, I just hold it in such a high regard.
I think to myself that, if I carry on thinking of Emily as this immensley huge privilage, then...
...Then maybe things will be alright...
...And I'm so glad that "dixie loves emily" was a suggested tag...
MindSay now knows how much I love her.

OMNER, BEST NEWS EVER.
Seeing as how MindSay is inhabited solely by Yanks, I'm sure you all know what Oreos are.
Yep, the greatest biscuit ever - slowly followed by the English Custard Cream and Rich Tea finger.
Well, up until now - I've never ever seen Oreos on sale in England.
I'd heard of them - for you see, having friends in America and Canada - obviously, I'd have been informed.
AND, I'd seen old 80's adverts for them on the episodes of YCDTOTV (You Can't Do That On Television) which I download, and I thought: "Hmm... I want some of those..."
I was in luck when I went to Rhodes last year.
Rhodes sell food products from all over the world in their little souvenier and essentials shops.
You see the English Heinz baked beans alongside tins of German frankfurters, and French bubblegum sat beside packs of Oreos.
When in Rhodes (har har, best pun ever...) I also tried the white chocolate and milk chocolate coated Oreos.
In the two weeks I was there, I must have eaten about...
Hmm...
Well let's say I ate a pack every day. So that's 4 biscuits every day on avarage.
So that's 14 multiplied by 4.
Gives you a total of 58.
58 in two weeks, I can't tell whether that sounds like a lot or not.
But anyway, sometimes when I was walking down streets of Rhodes, I looked and felt like a bit of a Yank.
Put it this way, I was wearing enormous shorts, Slipknot shirts usually, Converse all-star, either a Slipknot or New York Yankees baseball cap, and I sometimes had Oreos in my hands or pockets.
And looking like a Yank when you're an Englishman who hates 99% of everything American is not good.
Anyway, on the topic.
I've not ever seen Oreos on sale in England before.
I walked into my IT room the other day, and I saw an Oreo wrapper on the floor beside the wastepaper bin.
My first impression was: "...Oreos?! What the hell are they doing here?!"
My second impression was: "...Well maybe someone's been on holiday and brought them back?"
My third impression was: "FOR FUCK'S SAKE, I WANT OREOS NOW."
So today, about.. 15 minutes ago...
I'm at nana's, I've finished my Sunday lunch - and she calls me in the kitchen, goes in the cupboard and produces a packet of OREOS.
"OMG, OREOS." - I say.
She offers them to me.
I take two and stuff them in my mouth at once.
Oh, the heavenly taste returns to me.
"Where did you get these?" - I ask. "They don't sell them here."
But apparently - they DO now.
They must've just came over.
Honestly though, Oreos have been around since before the 80's, and we're only getting them in England in 2008?!
So, dad's said he's going to get me some when he goes to the ASDA supermarket.
I wrote "OREOS" on his list. Tee hee.
Yay, Dixie is reunited with the flavour she loves so much - ON HER HOME SOIL.
Oreos in England.
Now we are a better country than before.
