Guitar Hero 2 @ MindSay

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


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

 

Everyone loves Katamari. :P
I took my PS2 along to nana's today. I was hoping they'd stopped being pricks about the whole personal message thing - and it does seem that they have done. Thank fuck for that.
While I was there, nana played Solitaire and I talked to her while I alternated between We Love Katamari, Parappa The Rapper 2 and Guitar Hero II.
 
I've managed to complete PTR2 on easy and medium difficulties - and I'm up to the last level on hard. It's a pain in the arse though. I hate leading the song, I always cock up my timing beyond what's acceptable.
And with the completion of the last basic Katamari missions - I was able to finally ROLL UP THE SUN.
I actually didn't think I'd manage it, but all seemed to go well - and I watched the sexy credits. I've unlocked some extra levels too. Now I've BEATEN it, I'm going to MASTER it - by getting all the items, presents, cousins and a hell of a lot more speedy comets. :D
 
When I came home, mam and I watched a few discs of Desparate Housewives and ate Hula Hoops together. We were awake until like 1 in the morning, so I was knackered - thus making it fairly easy for me to get to sleep. :)
 
I've decided to change my idea of what to get Shelly for her birthday.
I've declined the idea of GH action figures - namely because they've like tripled in price since the last time I looked them up - but I'm not writing my idea here - I don't know if Shelly still reads this from time to time. We can't be having the surprise spoiled, now can we? :P

In order to get me through these dreary first college weeks, I'm having to bear something in mind that I can look forward to at the weekend, or when I get home. This week, I'm looking forward to having Shelly sleeping over tomorrow night - and since yesterday, I've got the first three PS2-exclusive Guitar Hero games and a massive stack of unplayed games that I can dig into. :)

English was a pretty simple lesson - sort of self-studying if you will - making tables and taking notes.
We all did this while Angela called us up individually to talk about our AS grades. I now don't feel as bad as I did previously about my shitty C. I was only 4 marks away from a B - and Angela's told me that I can re-work a bit of my coursework to get those marks, thus bringing my coursework to an A, leaving my exam grade as is - A + C = B. :D

During my break afterwards I was proper ravenous, so I got some oriental ribs flavour McCoys and a BLT sandwich. Shelly came and met me and we sat on the tables by the transporter entrance.
When I'd finished my sandwich, I stuck the label on her arm. BLT became a new abbreviation - for Shelly, it stands for BIG LESBIAN TWAT. :D

Photography was basically just a big meeting held as a group.
We all chipped in ideas about what assignments we wanted to do. Paul's made it so we can have a taste of each others' ideas, then choose the one we like best and run with it.
My contribution was Addictions. There's so much to branch off from it.
I was thinking drugs, alcohol, medicine, pornography, sex, video games, television, junk food - my list is endless, hence why I'll probably stick with my own idea.

I'm certainly not keen on Shelly and Michelle's ideas. They both want to do landscape-based shite, and I hate landscapes - I like still life macro stuff and portraits. I was pretty okay with Hayley's idea, Emotions - hers seems pretty portrait-orientated too. She seemed to be keen with my idea as well.

The 3 hour break that followed was spent with Shelly in the LRC.
We were that bored, we resorted to Wikipedia to entertain us. I decided it was time to educate Shelly about JAPANESE TOILETS. :)
(Among other things - we spent ages on the page, reading over it and sharing our opinions on it. Lmfao. I'd told her about them before, but she'd never fully comprhended it until she saw it for herself.)

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

When I came home, I ate hot-dogs, followed by a chocolate spread pancake while dad and I watched a new episode of The Simpsons. Fairly amusing it was too. :)

I've spent the rest of tonight playing Guitar Hero II.
I'm alternating between the easy and medium careers to start off with - getting the easy shit done out of the way before we get onto the fun levels. :D

Oh, and my packages today were Amelie and PaRappa The Rapper 2. :D
Now I'm only waiting for Shelly's present and the CD from nana. Come on Play.com!

GRANNY PANTS FOR LIFE

 

 

I would say that smiley looks a bit too happy to be content...

I couldn't really find a smiley that looked 'content', though.

 

I planned to get up at 11 so I could tidy my room a bit - but Shelly woke me up by ringing me - but shen she hung up before I could get out of bed and answer my phone.

It's not my fault my ringtone is fucking awesome.

 

I spent the most of my morning eating bacon noodles and adding new King Diamond tracks to my iTunes.

(I've only gone and downloaded one with a fucking announcer. "YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE NEW-" FUCK OFF. - So I'll have to download that one again.)

 

Ashleigh and Shelly came down today, as they often do.

It's mainly them coming here - but sometimes we go to Ash's.

We would have done today, but they had a party the night before, so Ash said the bungalow would be a mess.

 

Shelly came first - and I opened the door to two guitars. She brought her PS2 down so we could all play on Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero: Rocks The 80s.

(She has them all - she's almost as obsessed as I am. I'm more obsessed because I download all the tracks. Har har har. I'm also a member of the community, so there. :P)

 

We lounged around downstairs a bit while we waited for Ash.

She turned up shortly after - and Shelly insisted we both stand in the doorway and open it with a flourish before she managed to reach the door.

Though we were the ones to be taken aback - she'd taken my dare of the week seriously and turned up in a pair of neon pink combat trousers. Very... Neon. :)

 

Within like 5 minutes of her being in the house - Shelly cried out in such distaste that Ash reeked of vodka.

It was true - after Shelly insisted Ash breathed into my nose - I agreed she did a bit.

Thus we went on about this for a lot of the day. I wasn't ever bothered by it though - I like the many scents Ash brings with her.

 

We went upstairs, set up Shelly's pink PS2 - which didn't quite match Ash's trousers, but it was still very pink.

It's been about 5 months since I played Guitar Hero II - but it was well worth waiting for.

 

We played a few co-op matches - all of my favourite songs: Free Bird, Red Lottery, Less Talk More Rokk, Yes We Can, Woman and Crazy On You (several times :D)

 

Then Shelly wanted to see if she could achieve her two current goals - and she managed to do them both.

Through The Fire & Flames on Medium, and beating her star score on Raining Blood on Easy.

It's hilarious when Shelly feels accomplished with herself - she proper squeals.

 

Because Ash was so knackered - we actually barely got any filming for our coursework done.

In effect, we could have filmed around 6+ scenes, but we only did one.

 

And yes, that was the tripping into the mud scene.

We practised it a few times in the living room - and I got numerous carpet burns on my knee, my palms and my elbows.

We went out to the patch I found previously and sloshed the water down. Unfortunatley - due to the temperature outside, the mud was still practically solid - so instead of going splat into it - I slid across it.

It also hurt a lot, the ground was almost frozen.

 

Ash said it would have taken several buckets to make it to how we all wanted it.

Though we have established we can do it. - What we filmed is okay, but it could be improved by the consistencty of the mud I fall into.

 

I didn't even get any on my face - my shirt was just smeared and my elbows were pretty dirty.

My glasses fell off infront of me, for some reason - and that never happened during practise.

 

We have agreed if we can't do it again, what we have is fine - but we're going to wait a week or two until it gets warmer. With warmth comes softer earth, and more dirt for Dixie.

 

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

 

Came back inside from the coldness of the field outside - brought the PS2 downstairs and played some Rocks The 80s.

We scoffed two pizzas between us - pepperoni and BBQ chicken - and played a few co-op matches.

 

Then came the competitions - pro-face offs and battles.

I'm that good at battles, I won an Easy VS Expert. :)

 

Ash then got a craving to bash some drums - so we swapped to the Wii upstairs and had a few games of World Tour. I was on vocals, singing mental songs like Freak On A Leash, Prisoner Of Society and Trapped Under Ice.

 

The good thing about vocals is that if you know the words and have a reasonable idea that you're on the pitch - you don't need to watch your highway, so you can turn around and comment on the way your drummer sucks her cheeks when she's concentrating. :)

 

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

 

I was upset shortly after by a shitty e-mail - I broke and had to go and cut myself.

I sat in the bathroom for a while with my staple remover - but I didn't shut the door properly - I didn't even lock it. That's a sure sign I didn't want to be alone.

 

I carved my arm again. Carving is just so much more meaningful. I cut my left arm a lot and carved my right one: "D-L-A--E-M-D--D-L-S-T-L."

 

Dixie Loves Ashleigh, Emily Must Die, Dixie Loves Shelly Too, Lots.

 

 

Shelly came in to comfort me - then Ash made some popcorn and asked me to come back in my room with them.

I sat behind the drums for a while and cried - before going to sit on the bed with Ash and Shelly. Shelly cuddled up to me and I cuddled up to Ash - so we ended up in our typical pose with Ash on the left, me on the right and Shelly laid between us.

 

I soon forgot about my arm and the cunt who goes out of her way to continually upset me. Truly, she must have nothing better to do with her time than constantly take time out to say and write things with the pure intention of hurting me.

 

We spent about an hour and a half cuddling each other.

Ashleigh told me she loved me - FOUR TIMES.

 

...I've always wanted her to say she loved me and it not being instigated by something said previously - and she did...

Shelly kept kissing me - which was nice. Shelly loves me a lot too.

 

I'm glad I have those two.

And I'll always have Adam. I'll never get rid of him. :)

I have my numerous friends at college and the odd few mates here and there.

 

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

 

Our cuddles soon turned to slight violence - I gave Ash a wedgie. Tee hee, something I've been wanting to do for a long while.

It's so much easier to wedgie someone if they wear pants that are on the larger side - like I do.

 

GRANNY PANTS FOR LIFE. :)

 

Of course  - Shelly wedgied me too.

I tried to be hardcore and say it wasn't hurting - but Ashleigh kept saying I was wincing and pulling pained faces. ...It didn't hurt that much... :P

 

Then we were soon tickling each other - and nose-biting, ear-licking and blarting. :D

Ash is just so funny when she's in hysterics - she squeals, and that sounds funny as from a voice like hers.

 

Now I'm going to stay on the phone to Shelly for a while longer - probably keep talking about the day's events.

 

 

I've been told.

I have to blog, apparently, so..erm..here goes ^_^

Me and Mena have made up, after our absolutely God awful week, which upset me loads and led to a rather nasty slanging match on MySpace. But yeah, we've made up, and we're alright now. Meeting up tomorrow, yay ^_^

I've not long come off of Guitar Hero II (PS2). It rocks, more than the original one did. And that rocked :P I also bought Sonic the Hedgehog (Xbox 360), which isn't as bad as all the reviews make it out to be. Eurogamer, I agree with what you say about the game, especially about the very loose controls, the shitty camera and the game's desire to load everything seperately, but it deserved better than a 2. Hell, I thought Superman Returns was pretty shitty myself, and you actually gave that a higher score. Whassat about?

I got Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel too on PSP, but as that's kinda a PSP comic, I've not "played" (see: watched) that yet. Might be a plan for tonight, mebbe. Depends what time I get off the phone to Mena, cos the running time is supposedly around 2 hours.

Umm..what else? Oo, I can't remember if I told you about my application for an ICT Support Officer's job at the local council (yeah, the same council who almost ran me over..small world), but I've been accepted and forwarded to the next part, which is a written test, and has to be done by next Wednesday, squee ^_^

Christmas is in..4 weeks as of Monday. I've yet to do my Christmas shopping. I'm planning on doing it next weekend, cos I can't meet Mena cos she's away for the weekend, and it gives me around a week to plan out what I'm going to be buying the family. One thing's for sure though: I'm not buying as much chocolate this year. I spent about £20 on the stuff last year, and it's only just been eaten fully. So yeah, I might just narrow it down to a tin of Roses this year :P

OK, I'm done. I'll prolly have something fun to blog about tomorrow, so I'll see you then :D
