My window looks down on the street below, which is currently blocked off.  Outside, there are three firetrucks (two of which are ladder trucks!) and a fire chief SUV.

 

Why?

 

Because my boss is stuck in our run-down 1970's elevator.

 

This won't go to his head at all.

 

Not.  At.  All.

- I was planning for my blog title to be alliterative, but I think there's only like two things I'm going to mention that start with S.

So I sort of failed there.

 

 

Adam stayed over last night (Saturday).

We started off by him coming at about half 12 - and waking me up. So I went and had a shower, and we sat around for a while, playing Guitar Hero III and watching random stuff on YouTube.

 

Then he leant me his monster turbo hairdryer, because we were sick of waiting for my hair to dry before we could go out.

 

- Yeah, on Friday, I went to ASDA with mam. We bought some stuff for Adam and I to munch on, and I bought some socks for dad for father's day today, and a card. I got Adam some hairbands and some Jelly Babies for his birthday present - as he turns 16 tomorrow. :)

 

I actually made a bit more effort this year, because I totally forgot his birthday last year.

We're best friends, and have been for like 11 years - and I forgot his bloody birthday. :)

 

I actually remembered it, TEN MINUTES AFTER IT HAD PASSED.

At like 00:10, I remembered. :)

 

 

Mam went a bit overboard, she wanted to get Adam presents herself - so she went mental, buying him a Smarties cake, a shirt, a little bracelet kit (as a joke, of course. :D), some Malteasers and some deoderants.

 

Because it was father's day weekend, ASDA had put all their birthday cards away, so there was a really shitty selection.

 

 

Lmfao, today's fucked suggested tag is "I heart Adam".

I do, but he never hugs me. Which makes me sad. :(

 

 

But when I was shooping with mam, I persuaded her to get me some Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice-cream.

It's whopper expensive.

 

It's about the same price as Hagen Daz - which is THE expense of frozen desserts.

I got a little tub, about 250ml, - £2.70!

 

I told Adam over MSN before he came, and he got a craving for it himself.

 

 

Anyway, after my hair was dry -  (I put on the new shirt mam had bought me on Friday - red and grey striped polo with a collar :D) - we went down to ASDA so Adam could get his dad and his nana presents for father's day and her birthday, respectively.

 

And we got a big tub of Ben & Jerry's half-baked. - I actually preferred the cookie dough, but they were both proper lush.

 

So we got home and shared that - then returned upstairs to play some more Guitar Hero III and mess about with anything we found - like we normally do.

 

Then we watched The Weakest Link: Blue Peter special - and I don't know WHY we watched it, either...

I think we were just bored and couldn't be arsed, so we watched telly instead of playign video games.

 

 

Earlier on, whilst faffing on with the cable box, Adam found the music on demand menu - and we found tons of music videos we could watch for free.

 

So we watched AFI, Slipknot, Gorillaz, All-American Rejects and The Ting Tings.

 

- When mam and dad came home, I forced mam to watch The Ting Tings' video. She didn't like them, but after I'd been banging on about them all week, I felt she ought to know why. :)

 

 

I made us lamb grillsteaks and chips for tea, and we watched Dr. Who. I played on my DS for a little while, because I don't understand Dr. Who at all - because I don't watch it, really.

It was alright though, it killed some time.

 

 

When mam and dad came home, Adam started banging on about playing Scrabble again.

- Last Saturday, he'd wanted to as well, and I didn't want to get under my bed.

 

I actually wanted to play it myself yesterday though, so he stopped downstairs, and I went upstairs, propped the airbed against the wall, and started looking under my bed.

 

I found a little box that belonged to my grandad, with dominoes, draughts and chess in it - magnetic!

I put that to one side, because it's awesome.

 

I also took out my Lego, which I found, (You'll see... :D) and I even found my old hymn book from primary school.

I sang some of my favourite ones to myself as I looked for the game.

 

As I stuck my head inside, the airbed fell down on top of me - so I had my head and my shoulders stuck inside my bed, surrounded and enclosed by piles of boxes and tins, with a big beasty airbed on top of me.

It took me about five minutes to get out!

 

 

- But I found the Scrabble - and Adam read through the hymnbook too, and we both felt nostalgic at our memories of singing them at primary school.

 

It was about 12 by this time - and mam and dad were in bed.

Adam said it was too depressing in my room at night, so he wanted to play Scrabble downstairs.

 

 

- And we were there for two hours!

 

 

Everything is so much funnier when you can't make any noise... Seriously.

 

Our first few games of Scrabble were quite good - and it also gave us something to piss ourselves over all night.

 

See, we were coming to the end of one of the games, and I had some really shitty tiles like F, X, J and Z.

Earlier on, I'd been desparate, and put down 'HEN'. - A proper shitty word, worth proper nothing.

 

Out of boredom, frustration and annoyance, when Adam wasn't looking, I added the Z to the end of 'HEN'.

So it then became 'HENZ'.

 

And I was proper laughing into a pillow, so he realised summat had amused me - and he didn't realise for ages, but when he did, we were both adding it randomly into sentences and pissing ourselves.

 

 

- When we were setting the airbed and the sheets upstairs - bear in mind, this is at about half 2 in the morning - Adam forgot to get the extra cushions, and he goes: "Oh wait, I just need to go get the HENZ..." - and I was crying at it!!

 

 

Before we went to sleep properly, after we'd set the airbed up, and Adam was laid on it, and I was laid next to him in my own bed - we were playing on Pictochat on DS.

 

Of course; we were drawing pictures of hens, or HENZ, should I say. :)

Then we started our Guitar Hero piss-taking again.

 

 

Hit Me With Your Best Henz - ROFL.

She Bangs The Henz - LMFAO.

Through The Fire And Henz - PMSL.

 

And so on. :)

 

 

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

 

Next day, today - we woke up at about 11 - well, my mam woke us up - coming in the room, shouting: "SOCKS!", and putting a bag down on my computer desk.

 

 

We played some more Scrabble, and I got a proper legendary streak.

 

I put down 'DYKE' on a triple word score, and got about 30-od points.

Then from it, I added 'FETID', and got another 30-od, thanks to the triple word score.

 

Then Adam owned me in the next two games, of course.

 

 

We had our showers, then played some co-op Guitar Hero III.

 

We haven't played it together for a long while, and we've gotten a LOT better.

We were going from 3 stars to 5 stars on Expert-Expert.

 

 

Then, I got the wonderful Lego, and I built myself a castle. :)

- I was doing most of it whilst Adam was washing his hair and browsing YouTube.

 

...And I have photos. :D

 

 

 

 

Here's my castle from the front - notice my two identical guards. :)

 

 

Here's an arial shot. :)

I'm going to explain each part now, with a close-up shot of each. :D

 

 

 

This is the main living quarters. :)

 

At the back, you can see the king's treasure chest, laid out on his royal red carpet.

To the right, that's the king's throne, and his table - complete with a large ice-cream knickerbocker glory, and a pack of cards - because my king is a gambler. :D

 

At the front, that's the king's sleeping quarters, and his pet cat Soda sitting on it. :)

 

 

 

Here's the kitchen.

 

Complete with two water-pumps, a large mixing cauldron, and jars of spices on the wall. :)

There's also some bottles of beer and lemonade for his majesty's liquid nourishment.

 

 

 

Here's the guardrobe - or the toilet. :)

 

You can see some weaponry and a broomstick at the front - they're kept in a barrel in case they're needed. :)

For the comfort of the king and his knights, I enclosed the toilet with some walls. :D

 

Oh, and I added a mirror, so the knights can squeeze their spots. :)

 

 

 

The best part of every castle - the dungeon! :)

 

That's actually made with some jail bars I got from a Mega Bloks cowboy set. :)

Luckily, Lego and Mega Blocks usually fit together. :D

 

I even added a festering skeleton inside. :)

Oh, and some moss growing on the ceiling!

 

 

 

Here's a close-up of the guards.

 

I was going to give them helmets, but I only had three, and none of them matched.

Oh well, they can be subjectible to headshots. :)

 

 

 

Here's the royal archer, perched on the right battlement. :)

 

 

And on the left battlement is the king's trustworthy knight. :)

 

I love Lego people - and all the accessories you get with them. :D

 

 

 

And here's our foolhardy king - doing a little dance on the front turret. :)

 

Behind him, you can see the head of a traitor to the castle.

Mwah, that will serve as a warning to others. :D

 

 

And then, I started taking funny pictures with them. :)

 

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

 

 

 

I knew it wasn't safe to stand on that turret!

Our king took a plunge into the horses' feeding trough, his sheild and sword scattered, and his cape seriously splattered.

 

Yes, I like my alliterations. :)

 

 

 

Our king punishes the unruly and lazy guards.

 

Of course, medieval style - he chains them up by their feet from the front turret. :)

 

 

Here's a closer shot. :)

 

You can almost hear their screams of pity as the blood rushes to their hairy heads. :)

 

 

 

And what's a castle without a few beheadings?

 

The royal knight beheaded this guard with his own axe - now THAT'S harsh. :)

 

 

 

Now that's an ice-cream fit for a king!

I think Soda would like a lick too. :D

 

 

Ah, Lego is fun. :D

 

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

 

After Adam had gone, I downloaded some videos from YouTube - ready to go on my future iPod.

 

After being reminded of the Powerpuff Girls by hearing their song in a background of another video, I scoured YouTube for some full episodes.

 

It took some doing, but I have found some.

I've downloaded all the ones I could find - INCLUDING ONE OF MY FAVOURITES!!! - and I've even got to watch three new ones I hadn't seen before. :)

(I'll give you those word definitions tomorrow, I promise. See, I was absorbed in what I'm going to talk about in this blog, and I looked at the time and realised I have like 15 minutes to write a blog. So I'll just write a quick one before it turns midnight.)

 

 

Today, I woke up at 3PM, made myself some chicken bites and potato Rosti, and sat down to organise my music.

 

Miraan told me that if I'm planning on putting everything onto my future iPod, I should download iTunes. So I did, and I put all of my music onto there.

 

I LOVE iTUNES!

 

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

 

Reasons why Dixie likes iTunes:

 

- Sexy layout

- Can view all the album art

- Can change size of the album art

- Organises into albums

- Is VERY easy to notice mistakes

 

Reasons why Dixie doesn't like iTunes:

 

- It's sometimes a faff to get everything right

- My keyboard buttons like skip and stop don't work

- I'm yet to find a shuffle setting (but I'm sure there is one...)

- Asides from the album organising, there's not many other ways to organise

- iTunes was made for the purpose of buying music. 75p a song?! I DON'T THINK SO.

 

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

 

Some of them look weird though, because I only have one song for the albums - on quite a lot of them.

Some of them, I don't really think much of getting more from the album, but some, I'm planning to.

 

At the moment, I'm changing ratings.

Then I'll put my headphones on and organise all the other music in the folder that's not in the right alpha files, then I'll sort my soundtracks.

 

Then I'll download more!

 

(And I'll sort that on Sunday night when I'm supposed to be revising. :D)

 

Ah, my life is so INTERESTING. :P

Those adverts you get above your e-mail inbox truly are good for something. :)

 

Okay, I hate the "MORTGAGE RATES ARE CHANGING", and the Childline ones are starting to piss me off - but JunkMonkeys was awesome, and I've just found something that's even better!

 

Looky,

I HAS GINGER BEARD:

 

 

"DO NOT WANT."

 

 

But yes! :)

 

This is a screenshot taken from the wonderful flash game called "The Gingerizer!"

In which, you can upload photos, and give them large ginger beards. You can even make them talk!

 

It's a site advertising Old Jamaica Ginger Beer.

Here's the link: http://www.ginger-beards.co.uk/

 

 

Ah, the wonderful delights of adverts and flash games. :)

 

I HAVE EVEN FOUND PERFECT SMILEY FOR THIS MOMENT:

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

 

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".

Hit Me With Your Best 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...
