Summer Accomplishments:
- Completed Super Mario Galaxy, 242/242 stars collected, both scenarios complete (Wii)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Completions, Curry, CTR & Craziness
I woke up relativley early this morning, got myself ready to go Ash's - every time I go, I seem to wear nothing but black. Black shirt, black jeans, black socks and black Converse. Maybe I'm subconciously making an appearance rebellion against their Walton's atmosphere. :)
When I was ready, I turned my Wii on and sat down to finish off Super Mario Galaxy.
I only had one star to get - the dodgy dodgy one in Dreadnought Galaxy where you have to blow up the piles of junk. It didn't take me as long as it did on the first scenario, but it still took a few attempts.
Then I fought the final boss again - before getting the message that I'd unlocked the Grand Finale Galaxy.
I expected it to be a really tough trial galaxy with all elements of the other three - ray surfing, bubble blowing and ball rolling - coupled with Thomps galore and break-away floors.
But no - it was a painfully linear walk through the opening level with 100 purple coins in a perfect alignment. Dixie was rather disappointed at the difficulty. :(
So I did that with both Mario and Luigi and marked Super Mario Galaxy down as fully completed on my Backloggery - 242/242 stars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mam then drove me to Ash's.
She stopped on the way to go into Morgan's Bakery. I asked her if she'd get me a flake boat - because I proper haven't had one in ages.
She gave me a bag with two in - saying the other one was for Ash.
Mam thought she'd get lost on the way to Hemlington - but even after I purposely told her to go the wrong way - she knew I was lying and found the way there herself.
Shock horror - Ash had never even heard of flake boats, let alone eaten one. She liked it though. :)
How could she not? They're bloody epic.
We didn't have any idea of what we could do today - so I asked Ash to carry on with her save on Silent Hill 4. I like watching her play it - but she gave up after a short while, saying she couldn't be arsed.
Then came the boredom that lasted about 3 hours.
Literally, we were both sat on Ash's bed talking about NOTHING.
Usually I can talk to Ash for a few hours before we get bored of each others' voices and run out of topics - but it didn't even seem like we had a bloody starting topic today.
We sat outside on the swing for a while, but it was bloody freezing - yet I refused to admit to Ash that I was cold. :)
Dixie are hardcore.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a while, we went into Denham's room.
He was playing Saints Row 2, so I sat on the end of his bed, Ash sat at the other end - so I was sat between Ash and the desk where Denham was.
I suggested to Ash that she try playing Bully: Scholarship Edition. They have it on the 360. Oddly enough, Ash showed interest and started herself an account on the 360 and a new save.
So that must've been the first time Ash had played on their 360. :/
I was talking to them both - alternating views of who's game I was watching and commenting on.
Ash seemed to get right into Bully - she likes it. I can see her completing the linear mission structure anyway, but she's not a mental completionist like I am, so she probably wouldn't go to collect everything.
She's so dozy though - it's like she has no will to figure out a puzzle for herself - she kept asking me which way to go and what to do on some of the missions - even with the bloody mission hints.
And it was proper hilarious watching both Ash and Denham failing on the English class. Oh, dsylexics. They amuse me so. :)
Shelly rang me amidst this, so I made Ash talk to her - seeing as how they haven't spoken in weeks.
So Ash was on my mobile for about 20 minutes while I took over the controller and finished another mission. It's so weird playing it on the 360 - several times I found myself moving the controller to attack, the same way you would with the Wii remote. Duhhh. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For tea, Ash's dad had made chicken curry.
Now, I can't stand curry in any way, shape or form. Oddly enough, I hadn't even been asked if I liked it or not - usually I get asked before it's made.
I was asked though - when it was in front of me.
"I didn't ask, do you like chicken curry?"
"Nope. Not at all - but I'll eat it."
Ash's mam was quite surprised but I kept to my word - I did eat all of it.
Chicken curry with egg fried rice and chips - most of it was alright, but the sauce wasn't the most tasty thing ever. It WAS better than I thought it would be though. So I wasn't rude, I ate it all, like I said I would.
And I hogged a shitload of the prawn crackers - because they're just epic. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went back into the room afterwards and Ash's mam gave us a bowl of sweets each. Minstrels, Moam Stripes, strawberry bon bons and midget gems. I had a massive sugar rush, got in Ash's wheelchair and was rolling up and down the room for about an hour pulling off wheelies. :)
Ash said: "Pull back then push forward hard" - and after a few attempts I had it mastered. :)
I had about eight close encounters where I almost tipped myself over backwards - Ash grabbed me by the arm one of the times and pulled me back upright. She proper panicked lmfao.
Denham challenged me to Crash Team Racing.
The last time I played CTR was when I completed it at my nana's in around March. After the first race though, I'd gotten used to the controls again.
I kick Denham's arse at Super Smash Bros. Brawl - but he's pretty good at CTR, he's a challenge. For most of it, we were evenly matched.
He won the first cup, we drew on the second cup and I won the third one.
He played as N. Gin and I played as Tiny Tiger. Ash was sat behind us, watching.
Moment of hilarity:
Denham: "Eat my BOMB!" *falls off the edge in the process*
Dixie: "EAT THE FALLING OFF THE EDGE!"
And this happened about THREE times - every time with increasing hilarity. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Denham grew tired of the malarkey after around an hour and several cups - and he went back into the living room. This was shortly before Ash practically kicked me backwards, clunking her leg down on my lap and told me to warm her feet up. They'd gone purple due to her dodgy circulation - so I was rubbing them for about 15 minutes to warm them up. This just proves I'm not a normal person - upon hearing that request most people would be like "Er, no!" - but I didn't decline or even comment.
And I think Ash trusts me more and more each week now...
Ash and I finished the night with 20 minutes of play-fighting. :)
I had her pinned to the bed tickling her and pushing on her pressure points in her neck so she was laughing and screaming at the same time. Sounded proper fucked. :)
To play games you would effectively pantomime actions. It is similar to the Wii in where you reproduce certain predetermined movements. I like the idea, but I hope they allow you to take it further than just pretend. I mean, I would much rather feel an actual steering wheel in my hand than pretend one is there. Also, if I was playing a first person shooter I think it would be neat to actually hold a toy gun while running around and shooting things.
It will be interesting to see where it goes.

Blog #37
Thirteen of Fine...
9:00 - 22:00
For these thirteen hours, I was fine. It was what happened after the hour of 10 that got me depressed.
I spent the day with Ian. I'd been looking forward to it for a few days.
Normally I don't get to spend much time with him because he's working or Sean takes it in his stride to come on over. He's not YOUR brother, Sean.
Though it fucking feels like they're blood related. Ian didn't take me to see Iron Maiden. Ian didn't take me to the WWE. Ian doesn't play football with me. Ian doesn't have me over at his house constantly.
We spent the day playing World Tour and GH3 - scraping together a few achievements as a duo.
My Expert skills caused much cash increase and someone to be impressed. There aren't many games that I can beat Ian at. There's a few, but he can beat me at more, usually.
He made us both double cheeseburgers for lunch - with edam cheese - *melts in lust*...
Then lmfao, he states: "Oh, there's a Snickers on top of the microwave for you."
Thinking back to the fucking mental dream, I had to try hard not to piss. :)
I'd never seen The Simpsons movie until today. Ian likes it more than I do - he's got all of the series boxsets on DVD. So we watched that and scoffed shitloads of bacon flavour Skips.
It's pretty good - nothing less than what I was expecting. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to fucking boredom when I got home, I caved into desparation and created a new account on Neopets.
*Raises gun to head*
...Repeat after me Dixie...
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
YOU SHALL NOT GET ADDICTED TO NEOPETS AGAIN.
Either way, I've gotten a bronze trophy for Snow Wars and made about 10,000 neopoints playing my favourite games. I like the fact they've increased the amount of times you can send a score daily from 3 to 5.
I mainly played Meerca Chase, Destruct-O-Match, Extreme Potato Counter and Defender Trainer - my main favourites.
I've won a shitload of shitty snowballs from Snow Wars too.
I'm not sure on whether to donate them to greedy scroungers or sell them for peanuts.
I could do with some peanuts though. The Snickers was immensley enjoyable, but I couldn't get the image of Ashleigh out of my head - pmsl!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shelly rang me at about 8 - we talked for a while. She didn't upset me.
She never does - but that was just a comparison to a certain other phone call that did.
I was just playing another round of Snow Wars at about 10 when Adam rings me.
I knew he was at a party tonight - and I answered the phone to him being drunk.
He amused me at first, but when I heard how happy he was, how everyone else around him was enjoying themselves so much... Well, just got the craving to start cutting myself.
I'll never be invited to anybody's house party. I don't have the confidence to get drunk with people.
I never fucking enjoy myself, I never fucking will.
I don't even have anybody else to enjoy myself with.
But fucking believe me - I'd rather have nobody than have Emily. (And I don't have NOBODY.)
Thanks to quick realisation shortly after a long conversation with Shelly at the start of the week - all has become clear to me.
I'm better off without her.
I can do without cunts in my life.
Cunts who continually go out of their way to upset me.
I noticed a trend with how often I cut myself. I'd noted it down for a few years on a word document.
After I met Emily, it tripled.
Now Emily's gone - thank fuck - it's decreased to less than once a fortnight again.
However, my friends are the coolest people on Earth.
Those freaks chipped in enough to get me a friggin' Xbox 360 and an assload of games! My head just about fell off when I opened the wrapping and saw the console. I got an extra controller, too, so the buddy I'm staying with has been playing against me.
It's got an attitude. It over heated and shut off in the middle of a game. We're not real sure what's wrong with it. We moved it again, away from everything else, and we're going to set up a small mini fan next to it to keep it cool. At least we think that's the problem. We're taking a break to let it cool down. If it keeps up, I'll hook the old console back up so we can keep playing games and I'll call Microsoft to see if they can help figure out what's wrong with it. I was a little upset, we'd only been playing maybe 20 minutes when it shut down.
But either way, that was extremely cool of them all. I wasn't expecting anything like that. I've bought some expensive gifts for people in my time, and I've gotten a few myself. But I didn't expect this, not at all.
I got some other good news, too, but I have to wait to share. That one is a surprise. :)
My gamer profile got corrupted.
And to recover it, I apparently need Xbox Live.
I don't have that shit.
And I don't know how to connect to it.
I need my achievements back. I feel as though part of my life was wasted.
FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK.
