Guitar Hero Ii @ MindSay 
Dixie currently feels:
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.
- Guitar Hero II — Suddenly, my life has purpose again. I nailed 5 stars on some pretty tough songs last night and am starting to feel like maybe I can learn to play a real guitar someday.
- White Sox baseball — Yes, I'm sort of a quitter on this season but I still get a kick out of watching "the kids" show these old men how to play this game again. Josh Fields and Jerry Owens look like serious keepers. Finally, it looks as if our prospects are starting to measure up to the hype. ZING!
- The Office — I stayed away from my favorite show for almost a month but in a few weeks, Season 3 hits stores on DVD and soon after, the best sitcom since the 'Feld returns triumphantly.
- The Onion — Still hilarious.
So it's time once again for the "pick x-number of songs from your library and pick one lyric from each and make everybody guess what song it's from" game. You all know how it goes, so I'm not even gonna post the rules. I'll just cut straight to the lyrics part. I've picked a shitload of songs this time around, hopefully to keep the game going for a little while. =)
As usual, some of them are fairly obvious, others are a wee bit more subtle, and the rest are painfully obscure. Oh, and here's a slight hint for this round's selections: I've been playing a lot of Guitar Hero lately. ;) (No, not every song on here occurs on Guitar Hero. But more than likely, if it's a rock song and it's on this list, I probably think it should be on Guitar Hero. =P )
Ready and set and go now.
1) I'm not gonna lie; I want you for mine. My blushing bride, my lover, be my lover, yeah...
2) Now and then when I see her face, she takes me away to that special place, and if I stared too long, I'd probably break down and cry. saxophire
3) If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?
4) I shot my mouth off, and you showed me what that hole was for. saxophire
5) It's like squeedly versus meedly over here. Go squeedly! Go squeedly! SQUEEDLY WINS!!!
6) You my friend, I will defend, and if we change, well I love you anyway.
7) You know you're a, cute little, heartbreaker...and you know you're a, sweet little, lovemaker... vagabondwriter
8) She was pure like snowflakes no one could ever stain; the memory of my angel could never cause me pain.
9) Howling in shadows, living in a lunar spell; He finds his heaven spewing from the mouth of hell.
10) A decade ago, I never thought I would be at twenty-three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me.
11) If these walls could talk, the stories they’d tell; and if they did, I’d be in a whole lotta HELL!!
12) In walks her daddy, standin' six foot four; He said "You ain't gonna swing with my daughter no more!" saxophire
13) And so I drink to health, while you kill yourself.
14) And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine; My love, the pleasure's mine.
15) Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise; She had the body of a Venus; Lord imagine my surprise!!
16) I dont want to waste my time, become another casualty of society.
17) I backed my car into a cop car the other day; well he just drove off, sometimes life's OK.
18) Face your fear, accept your war, it is what it is.
19) The battle rages, but they fight in vain; When all is done it must begin again.
20) Broken hymen of your highness, I'm left black; Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back. saxophire
21) Stevie knows that, no-body's gonna bring me down...cuz me n' Stevie, see, we're gonna be a-sailin' on the funky, funky sound...
22) He was turned to steel, in the great magnetic field, when he traveled time, for the future of mankind.
23) When I grow up I want to be, one of the harvesters of the sea. I think before my days are done, I want to be a fisherman. saxophire
24) Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses. vagabondwriter
25) Take me back to-a South Tallahassee, down 'cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy.
26) He was the nazz, with God-given ass. He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar.
27) Walkin' tall machine gun man; They spit on me in my home land. vagabondwriter
28) I, I want to be your lover; I, I wanna wrap you in rubber, as pink as the sheets that we lay on.
29) I don't wanna be the bad guy; I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore. vagabondwriter
30) But its all in your mind; Don't think your time on bad things; Just float your little mind around...
31) I need you to see this place; it might be the only way, that I can show you how it feels to be inside of you.
32) Yeah flood water keep a-rollin'; man it's about to drive poor me insane.
33) I believe them bones are me; Some say we're born into the grave...
34) I am an arms dealer, fitting you with weapons in the form of words.
35) You're too young and I'm too well hung, but tonight I'm gonna rock you... saxophire
36) I don't ever want to feel like I did that day; Take me to the place I love, take me all the way. vagabondwriter
37) Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses... saxophire
38) Though you're dead and gone, believe me; Your memory will carry on...
39) Knock knock on the door; Who's it for? There's nobody in here. Look in the mirror, my friend...
40) Lord, I might as well go back over yonder, way back yonder cross the hill; Cuz if my baby don't love me no more...I know her sister will.
Ha!! Good luck with all that. ^_^
Oh, and offering me sexual favors will NOT get you the answers.
.....But it may get you some extra hints. <_< >_> <_< >_>
Teehee. :p
Have fun!! =D
TheFallenAngel
P.S. -- It must be made vibrantly clear that I was JOKING about the sexual favors thing. Not like it matters a whole lot, since I imagine I'll be getting a knock on my door at some point in the next five minutes. -_-
And so begins the second post in this grand experiment. Long overdue, but not without good reason. Well, not without acceptable reason, anyway. To put it bluntly, I didn't really have much to say. Introductions aren't really my style, and I think proper anecdotal evidence is far more useful in providing accurate perspective on people's personalities. But enough rambling--I think it's high time for an update in the ways of Aaron.
First bits, first--I have procurred for myself (straight from the Halls of Valhalla) the very vessel through which Rock Godhood is aquired, the famous and much sought after Guitar Hero II. There's not a whole lot to say that hasn't already been plastered over the web on every gamer blog from here to the Mushroom Kingdom, but suffice it to say that few things are as capable of making your average nerd feel like a total badass. *Bwadda-bra BRAUUUU!!!!*
So, heroing aside, not much has changed since my initial precense here on Mindsay. It is of definite worthwhile mention, however, that things in the word of romance have progressed unbelievabley well, and I am just starting to recover from the utter bewilderment of new love. I'll try and avoid turning this post into a endless gushing of over-saturated sweetness, but it's highly likely I'll be unable to avoid making mention of it from time to time, so better to just accept the inevitable and move on, I say.
On a related note, I have a visitor arriving in a week for several days of festivities. Should be an absolute blast, and I'll make sure to document the course of events for your presumed enjoyment. I just got myself a brand new camera, so you can be sure that there will be plenty of visual aids available.
Anyway, a minor update, but an update nonetheless. Maybe if I ease myself into it, I'll actually start up a realiable blog, here. For now, I thank you for your patronage and promise more frequent posts from here on out. And for those of you dissapointed by the lack of a proper introduction--welcome to the random world of Dudeman. Where nothing is as it seems, and the only thing you can expect is the unexpected.....which you can't expect either, so there.
*AWAY!*
