Missing, Presumed Undead

Above is a clip from The Muppet's Christmas Carol, one of the closest films to the book by Charles Dickins, despite the fact its a musical with puppets.
The weather is terrible up here. This morning there was a tree lying on the road, so my brother and the Taxi Driver got out of the car to lift it... After a while the other passenger and myself had to get out and help. Girls are better at lifting trees. The sign outside the Wellington (pub in Riding Mill) also blew over, taking some fence with it.
And we've had the power out all night. Noodles (the snake) had to have a holiday into the kitchen, where the Esse runs on oil and therefore remains warm when the Vivarium heater cut out. I washed the tea dishes by candlelight, and then read The Wheel of Time by candlelight, while the snake glared at the candle in a disaproving manner. 
My Grandad is staying over for a few days (again). That's all I can say about that.


Mcdogface seems to have gone. POOF. Well the timer on the votes at the top has set itself so that it continues to count down, so that may have been him, but he isn't at school, or on the internet. 
This worries me a lot. It also means at lunchtimes I'm either alone or in unfavourable company. And at break times I'm hiding in the Library. But only two days left, then I'm out of school!


No one's feeling festive... Probably the lack of 20foot snowdrifts.
Another festive video, anyone?

Well done Mcdogface!

Hello there, Mcdogface seems to have won the vote thing at the top.

Here's a nice video from Weird Al Yankorvich:

Branching out

Well, if you've been carefully looking at this page as one looks at a Magic Eye puzzle then you'll have noticed that there are only five days left on the vote thingy. So vote! Come one, there's gotta be some more people who like the Dark Dragon!

Mcdogface and Dark Dragon

Also, Mcdogface has his own shiny blog now [ http://mcdogface-post.blogspot.com/ ]. It's like a little branch off this one, only more to do with his life and less randoms... Who am I kidding, his life IS randoms!
Well I'll be doing my own branch. But not a seperate Blog as such, mostly because my life is lived through Divinity 2, the Halo franchaise, and the many books I read. But anyhow, this blog will be something that isn't a blog, just a floating imaginary island hidden on the internet...
You think I'm crazy? I am. But you'll see it. You'll see... (below is an extract from the blog, now in progress. Written in small to annoy you.

Diomedes Sheep

King Diomedes of Thrace had man-eating horses (Greek Mythology. One of the labours of Hercules). ‘Diomedes Sheep’ are man eating sheep, and since they clearly aren’t demonic mares it is thought that the Natural Historian who named them wasn’t very bright and couldn’t distinguish sheep from horse. However, the reasoning behind the name comes from the fact that no other name ‘seemed to fit’. These monster sheep, these carnivorous demon sheep, these diabolical fiends from hell can’t fit any biblical description of evil because they are SHEEP. So the name ‘Satanic Sheep’ was dropped and ‘Diomedes Sheep’ was taken up instead.

The Diomedes Sheep are bred out of paranoia and insomnia. When people are counting sheep to send themselves off to sleep they very rarely have a dream about the sheep they were counting. The sheep may turn evil and try to eat the dreamer, thus becoming Diomedes Sheep, and causing the dreamer to distrust sleep and so become an insomniac. People who watch sheep movements in fields may notice that some sheep gather in circles, walk in straight lines and spy on humans in pairs. Some people have even seen these ‘organised sheep’ perform Demonic Rituals. The collective fear of intelligent grazing animals fuels the existence for the Diomedes Sheep.

In the Virtual Nation Diomedes Sheep of both sexes have huge curving horns, and stand as tall as a small Shetland Pony. Their wool is a valued commodity, and their horns make souvenirs. While they crave human flesh, Diomedes Sheep seem indifferent towards other species of sheep. Skilled framers can actually keep Diomedes Sheep, which saves people from going out and hunting them for their thick wool, ivory horns and juicy meat.

When you see a Diomedes Sheep, the general procedure is to run. Chances are it will outrun you and kill you, but if you hold your ground it will eat you anyway. If you are unsure of what kind of sheep you are up against, don’t take the chance, run on regardless of whether or not it is actually going to kill you.

So, with sixteen days to go, lets feel Christmassy!

If you are insulted by the above video, I'm sorry... But it's only steriotypical if you are undead because you tried to blow up a building. Any of you skeletons? Oh, sorry Skulduggery Pleasant. I'm so sorry about the rude little man misrepresenting the undead uo there.

Musical Stuff

Mcdogface is going down south to Leeds to see a concert tomorrow. I'll give you a clue to which band he'll be watching:

Dark Dragon

A jingjingjingjing jing!!!

Deck the halls in bells of holly,

Falla la la la da la la la

'Tis the season to be jolly,

Fal la la la la, da la la oh...

It's December but I'm not in a Christmas mood. Dunno why. It snowed today, and I glared at it until it melted, because I'm cheerful that way. I hate the cold, and snow is both cold water and cold air, so it doesn't make me a happy bunny.

Well, is you read Derek Landly's blog you'll notice that he's said its Christmas Time, so lets agree. Already I've been asked by a girl Mcdogface and I have codenamed Mentos (and she HATES that, bwhahahahahaaa!) what I'd like for Christmas, so I suppose I'll get her something.

So, giving good presents... I've got an awesome one for Mcdogface's Birthday, can't remember if I've got him something for Xmas... Then there are two girls I haven't seen in a long time who need presents (well I seen them in the school corridor, we just don't talk much) and I've promised someone and arty pencil set and someone else some music...

So need to think of something to give Mentos and co, the two friends who I don't talk to much anymore but used to be best friends, Mcdogface's other close friend Crazy Steve, and something for my Mother and Father (my brothers are covered.) So, my general rule is one can't go wrong with chocolate, but Blog readers, have you any ideas? (I don't know why I'm asking, you just read this then move off to a different website. You only ever comment if someone threatens to leave... I'M GONNA LEAVE IF YOU DON'T COMMENT!!!) lol, jk.

Here's a song I saw on the Skul-man comic's Facebook page. What are Skul-Man Comics? they're cartoons based on Skulduggery Pleasant. What is Skulduggery Pleasant? If you have to ask the latter question, ask for it for Christmas, along with Skyrim, chocolate, socks and world peace.

And a festive song, neatly linking October to December;

So, twenty-one days to go, are you exited?!

...I'm not.
