The End of The World

Ahhhh. Skulduggery Pleasant. Derek Landly wrote a story for World Book day you know? Like a Skulduggery Pleasant book, only mini. Small. Short. Could be read quickly. I enjoyed it (although I think it lacked a certain something... or an uncertain something...) and devoured it in the Library before getting some Greggs. Later, when I proudly held the book out for my brother's inspection and I mentioned how I read it and liked it he commented and said "What a waste, you didn't even enjoy it".
Always.
This constant 'I'm better than you'; 'I read slowly so I must enjoy the books more so I'm better than you', 'I can kill hundreds of aliens on Halo so I'm better than you', 'I do art for GCSE, not just a hobby so I'm better than you', and when he wasn't single, 'awww, you just don't like my snogging because I've got a girlfriend so I'm better than you'. It stings sometimes. He'll read this, and deem my words unfair. But from my perspective, I find him annoying. Especially when he says I 'rush' books. I don't 'rush' books; I just read quickly, that's all. How dare he say that I can't appreciate books?! How DARE he, he who only reads a book once and then leaves it on the shelf to gather dust, he who uses up our internet talking so we can't get Xbox Live, he can't possibly know what enjoyment I get out of books. Sure, I read fast; but a £1 World Book Day book isn't that long, and the other books? I read fast because my brain has adapted to do so.
Anyhow, ignore my ranting. Skulduggery Pleasant: The End of The World will be there until the end of the month. It's tasty; try it.
Also;

And now, funnies;

...I need to think of more things to say.
Remember, it is not the End of The World if:
-You are still single; no one cares, get some ice cream.
-you spill milk: don't cry
-your brother is annoying
-you can't see what everyone else is looking at
-you don't have Portal. But Portal is important.

Dis. Is cool.

A friend of mine sent me a link to a thing. An interesting thing of musical madness that makes you smile. Here is the link;

Use it wisely.
Here are some tunes I made which I love; you may copy them and listen to the awesomes;

Dark Dragon

Not Self Pity. Neh-eh. Nosirreee.

Hallo. I'm back. Where have I been? At work experience. Then lying horizontal on my bed dribbling mucus from my nose and coughing it up through my mouth. TOO MUCH INFORMATION? I lived through it. I'm alllllllivvvvvveeeeeee my friend!

Whooooooooooooo! I'm perfectly FINE! I'm not scared of NIGHTMARES! I don't mind IF I'M SHOT IN THE FOOT, or if MY SOUL IS EATEN AND MY MIND READ by someone who another figment of my imagination literally described as 'A Beast So Foul he was thrown to the Pit'. Check me out, I LOVE LIFE!

I finished Inheritance, I'm at the final boss of SOTC, I've got a new Blind Guardian CD (look below, at 3:50 on that track you can hear BAGPIPES). I've got the first book of The Song of Ice and Fire... It has icky bits, reader's disgression advised.
I'm never going to get around to reading the Hunger Games at this rate!

Right. Sorry, short post with too many videos... Another one?

What can I say? I'm a show off!

Had these songs stuck in my head all week....

The Coward's Way...

You know your a coward when you go to tell your friend something important, and then chicken out at the last minute and make stuff up.

Working like Lumberjack

Well well well. Here I am again. And I'm glowing. I've put another video on Youtube and I'm not being modest about it... My only regret is that I couldn't have the full Ikrans/Awesome Music scene that I made in the planning stage; I was told that it was too long and didn't have anything to do with drawing dragons...
But I made the video, and the one on Youtube is the neat and clipped version. However, I can't get one of those mini-video screens on the Blog of it yet, so I'll make do with a link:

Lumberjack... Lumberjack... Strange word, eh? Someone who jack's lumber. Why not woodcutter? Heh. I like the word lumberjack. I use it a lot to imply hard workingness (I played Halo like a lumberjack; I read Inheritence like a lumberjack). I'm strange that way.

Well, speaking of work; I'm doing work experience next week at the Lit and Phil in Newcastle. 'Lit and Phil' is short for Literal and Philosophical Society, and it's a big library (which is mentioned at the beggining of the book 'Walking with Witches', a book set in Newcastle and the surrounding area) and I have to do library things. I've worked in school libraries before so this should be chill.

Easy, just like a week away from school.

Videos, anyone?

I also found this picture of a Skeptical Hippo on Facebook. I don't own this picture, neither did the person sharing it. It's just so awesome.

German Exchange

Urggghhhhhh...
*rolls over in sleep*
Blurrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhh...
*opens eyes*
*groans*
It's... So... Bright outside. I think... I think I'm... Dead.
*coughs* *looks at impressive amount of mucus on hand* *groans* *stumbles downstairs, caring little for the cold and tripping over the cats*
The lights... They are so bright today...
Ew. Cough medicine. Red and gloopy, and disgusting. Three teaspoons. Gulp. Bluergh.
Noodles. Cute snake. I need to change his water.
*stumbles into sitting room* *takes out snakes water* *walks past huge eight-eyed purple troll* *Sloshes about in the sink* *walks past troll again and puts fresh water in the snake's bowl* 
Mmmmmmfffffff.
*goes back upstairs* *gets back into bed* *get Inheritance*
My old friend. My beautiful book. I've missed you so much; so, so much.
Sleep, reading and gaming were some of the things I missed the most during the German Exchange. I have a poor tolerance level towards people breathing loudly in their sleep; but snoring and talking in their sleep really REALLY bugs me, so on monday night I had no sleep at all, and the rest of the week a few hours made of pure tiredness.
It was fun though, teaching my exchange partner to play Halo (although she is unnacustomed to first-person-shooters, so spent most of the time spinning in circles looking into the sky; not firefight material) and watching her expression when presented with Iron Brew, heh.
Germans don't like Iron Brew apparently. Who knew?
She took photos of everything and enjoyed her stay. She refused to learn Geordie though, saying English was enough.
That's it really. I learnt a bit more german, she learned not much more English because she speaks English like a pro.


So today I added the finishing touches to a video that should have been on Youtube last year, but I've been far too lazy to put it on. However, as I type this a green bar tells me it is uploading to the 'tube now. Yay. It was today that I decided to add pretty pictures behind the credits. You'll all love it.


Now some videos;

And here's a video of a 'baby monkey riding a pig'. When I heard the description I thought "Oh my God, those poor animals!" But watching the video, I think the 'monkey' (I think it looks like a baby chimp or gorrila, which would make it an ape; but my primate identification isn't that good, so it could be a monkey) quite enjoys the experience, and although the pig looks like it's panicking, it is given food to calm it down. Animals never eat food when their nervous, so the pig must be pretty chilled about the situation.

And some Hoosiers. I've been listening to them again;

Remember...

Minecraft...

I'm thinking of starting up a series of videos of Mojang's Minecraft. These will consist of Mod Spotlights and custom map playthroughs. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
