It's that game which explains why I've been offline allot on PC. I can't get enough of it, finally a game for me that feels fresh at least. Multiplayer seems to be dragging me in and Im just unable to give up and put the game down. I don't know what it is about this game that seems to have me clawed in which other games doesn't have.

Either way, gamertag's on my profile if anyone wants to add/play.

But yeah, also signed up for Jobseeker's allowance, finally some money in a spot tighter than..ah I dunno. Still, feeling of joy that I'm getting free money while I apply for a job somewhere.

Also latest request I got - which is just so awesome. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4488721/ :D

Looking for people locally who can drive me to town and back but struggling to find somebody. Ah well who's getting it? My gamertag is Garrus SR2 :P

No trains there or busses after midnight heh.

Yeah I had one pulled today, that one that was causing me problems for months.

My god its not the pain or the blood that bothered me, its almost the method the dentist used and how that felt.

Either way, problem solved. As Stalin would probably see it - no tooth, no problem. :P

But yeah, I have had dental work done and I shall have no fear :P

I was offered a chance to get one for a low price, friends of friends in Holland. And I may get one that's around my wrist. Not sure about upper arm, but was thinking of a blue cobra around my wrist.

I don't think Im nerd enough yet to get "For the emperor" on my arm just yet lol.

In massive detail, Im thinking of getting it on my right wrist, just before the area where my sleeve on a long shirt may ruffle up and down so it's not blaringly visible.

Yeah made a safe journey there, only problem was kinda a funny one. We were in a lift/elevator for like 10 minutes trying to get it to go up (no idea why none of us bothered to walk out) and it finally says "Elevator Not Functional" on the com thing.

But yeah Im thinking of looking for a netbook at Dad's place in town, Im on one right now and I need slightly bigger buttons. The screen doesn't fuss me with size.

Also I have deviantart, GarrusArtemis http://garrusartemis.deviantart.com/

If anyone's interested in adding me to their list and I may watch back :P

This friday, won't be on xbox, maybe on skype, msn will be on but I'll probably be AFK a fair bit.

Should be fun, may even see some of Germany and France. Hopefully I won't have karma come back and bite me in the ass for genociding dozens of house flies in the past month.

I've been playing TF2 allot recently,  tereus thinks I'm more a spy because I'll in theory be a master of disguise :P

Just wondering what other people think. Because I'm also thinking I may get a picture eventually too, I guess may even go for a multi character one in the end too if I can get people to join in :P

I think a balaclava on my character would be cool :P

Sorry if I become so vulgar in this journal but their new layout is fucking terrible.

I sent a couple incredibly urgent emails this morning and found that I hadn't replied to the email I was reading. No, because it did some bullshit like call my email a conversation, it emailed to my own account.

Fuck it, I can't believe I've been sitting here wasting time, waiting for an email back and it hadn't even sent. I never had this problem before this crappy interface update they did that just made more crap to wade through to do one simple thing. Check emails.

All I do is open each email in a tab in browser, reply to each, shut the browser tabs and then come back to my inbox later, and wow. It has emailed my own emails to MYSELF. Great job hotmail.

Also for the excuse "Oh just stop using it then?" it's not a case of that. I can't even remember how many people have my email adress there for important reasons. Not that easy a switch over if I don't remember which site uses that email and doesn't email often.

Stolen from  agent

Yeah I may seem a bit of a power character here but I do have weaknesses, I don't like uber high or uber low temperatures :P And magic or explosives always do the trick, my size isn't easy to manage sometimes either :P

I have bought 3 today, blue ones, and I remember how epic they are.

I've not even been raving much lol.

I am feeling happier, Dad's agreed to help me with the dental cost so I won't end up spending everything I have on fixing a tooth.

But yeah, right now there's a party with 4 dozen people invited by Mum, mostly people I don't know. I haven't even had a say in who I wanted to invite yet.

So yeah, the weather's also terrible, my PC had to have a system restore because the internet stopped working and now it's fixed. Can't play my xbox because that room is full of random people and my PC is bad for gaming.

But hey, money is always good, random gift money from random people attending equalling around £35, yay.

Mmmm money, such a pretty colour to it lol

Anyways, bunkering down in this room right now.

Ok my birthday is coming up, Mum has a huge party planned for "me" though she's invited like a shit load of her friends, her friend the town mayor, a radio station who she is also friends with, more of her friends, some dumass kids that her friends have spawned, none of my friends (because I didn't ask them) and yeah some monks from a buddhist temple. Because she's a buddhist herself, she thought that she would "get their blessings" for me and not get me any "material" presents or cash.

Now with all due respect, I appreciate her belief that they will help me and the people who are coming. But I am unemployed, I have finished college and the most money I get at any time is from xmas and birthdays.

Dad sent me £330 early, I spent that on a few things I needed.

Related to why I am also pissed, I've had toothache so bad that yes, I have come close to overdosing on Paracetemol and then Ibuprofen. The pain was literally so intense I had a few moments in the day where I actually couldn't even remember what I was doing or why I was walking around.

I went and found a dentist in the end, who gave me a filling that cost £38 which didn't solve the problem. The pain was just as bad after the medicine wore off. So I phoned again saying that I couldn't wait another day I needed this tooth fixed. He did some work on it, doesn't hurt as bad and Im on anti-biotics, but he didn't end it there, I have to come back for another treatment that will clean up the roots of the tooth and kill of any infections.

Dad sent me £330 for my birthday, this tooth surgery is gonna cost me almost £400. I'm not asking for a handout, I'm just gonna make Mum fork out for some it. I did kind of say, save the money Mum, I don't like parties. But god damn I swear I could just beat the crap out of somebody right now. Ironic, I probably couldn't afford the baseball bat to do it with.

I'm probably going to go look for an NHS dentist and wait in a 5 week line to get urgent treatment.

Kaito is having a lotto draw, you enter the phrase as instructed with your character name and username on FA, give a ref if possible and promote the journal I guess, just out of good will.

Kaito has a list, which every item is numbered, and on your turn, will use a number generator program with true randomness supposedly, to calculate a number for you and get you a random prize.

Stolen from AxelWolf's journal, Kurokitten is taking sculpture requests but you gotta get there quick because there's the whole OMFG FREE ART BITCHES kind of rage rush to get a request down.

Do you have a Ref Sheet? I wanna try my hand at sculpting.... and I wanna sculpt your Fursonas.....

So if you have a ref sheet post it I will try to do however many I can.... ^^

Please post as many as you want.... I have nothing else to do and I want a challenge^^

Please repost the link I want a lot of people to do this.... and you are getting something free out of it ^^

Just asking because Im sure I know a few of you who have been in service. Im looking at the moment to go into a course in maybe criminology & forensics / security & policing. At the moment the aim I would say is to become a "special constable" in the UK police.

I just think it appeals to me because I can sit around, Im patient but don't look to press for trouble, don't mind odd hours and like a job where I can see a difference happening rather than working within a company in a cubicle printing forms and stuff.

But yeah the questions, if anyone does have experience.

What are the downfalls to the job and disadvantages? (mainly meaning small ones that a google search for "disadvantages of Job Y and X" may miss out )

I hear there's paperwork, allot in UK police, just about how much IS there and how much of my time would be spent handling it?

And no, this is nothing to do with Mass Effect before anyone asks, I've been looking at what I do best and this job is one I wouldn't mind (from what I've "heard" of the inner workings of it so far) and it seems to fit.

I know some of you who know me will know that I complain about how stupid people are sometimes, I think I could handle the stupidity of the public in general too. What is it people call that, the "asshole factor"?

Yeah believe it or not, the Kremlin of Soviet Russia, in all their wisdom, has tried it before and it actually worked but this was with gas leaks, no not burst pipes, full on gas deposits beneath the ground actually flaming 120ft fires out of cracks.

Drop a nuke and the super heated rock will crumble and may even melt the hole shut, with that much pressure, whatever is down there has a tiny hole to seep through so it may well clog up.

Apparently we don't need to worry about some gigantic hole combusting out of the ocean and taking half the earth's crust with it, the radiation will be slowed by 5 miles of crust but won't be blocked completely.

I think it's our only solution right now other than drilling into it again with a working well and taking what oil we can while the pressure is relieved on the other one currently spewing out of control.

What's everyone else's view on this? It's gonna be controversial no doubt.

Hating the tea taxes, having a tea party involving throwing tea into the sea when they could have stole it and the time it took for messages to be sent across the sea to London.

Gotta love history, my fave rebellion though must be when the indians rebelled against the UK in Asia because their gun cartridges contained animal fat which they happily used to shoot back at us with when they rebelled. :P

Not trying to troll or provoke here but when you do look into american history and are from the UK and read un-biased sources then it really does open a new way to think about it all :P

Also I just found out now that the British flag isn't actually symetrical. I don't know how in hell I didn't ever notice that :P

For those of you in the UK, you'll probably have heard of BBC 3's show called Mongrels?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongre.....28TV_series%29

Just wondering whether anyone else has watched it? I really do believe that this show is so funny, it's our equivalent of Family Guy/American Dad but with animal puppets. This show is incredible, I swear I hadn't laughed so hard all week.

Featuring characters Marrion the borderline-retarded cat/eccentric, Vince the "Propa' English Pub Chain Smoker kind of fox, Nelson the metrosexual fox, Kali the evil pidgeon who loves watching people suffer, Destiny the afghan hound who is more than just self-absorbed and other funny as hell characters. This is british comedy with a hint of political piss taking.

Episode one had references to Harold Shipman and Only Fools and Horses, epic stuff. I mean, I never thought anyone would have the balls to bring that up on TV to laugh at.

Rest of the world, temporarily, you're missing out unless you click here for the youtube link :P

Not sure of the name yet but I felt like I wanted to make my character have some more friends of my own creation.

Thought that maybe a Turian would be a nice original idea for it, one that could melt and reform. My idea was that he'd be an explorer and find some old alien technology giving him the ability, who knows, it could be Collector experimental tech too. (This is a turian incase you don't know, the character on the far left http://o.aolcdn.com/gd-media/games/.....box-360/41.jpg)


Either way I think I'll do some researching on the names or think of one, naming things is not my stronger point in character creation :P

Just putting it out there, you may see me comission somebody for a picture of it one day hehe :P And yeah I decided, he may have a blue tint to his body because blue is a sexy colour. :P

Thought I'd Journal it, gonna look for clearances as the college course I decided to go onto in another college told me it'd be £1200 for 2 years of the full course. I don't have that kind of money for something like that really but more chance of university so. Mm lots of free time though to try and do something. Still got no idea what I want to do at Uni exactly at the moment, maybe Philosophy or something in Geography if courses are available that don't require a direct qualification in Geography.

Also 1 year since MJ died, it doesn't feel that long since he died when I think about it for some reason, been listening to my fave songs from him allot, I wanna get a new Icon on FA, would love to have my character doing the same pose in an MJ jacket like Fender in the FA banner that was up last year was it?

Anyone know who I could comission to get something like that? Wanting a clear but cartoony image sort of for that icon. Suggestions welcome lol.

Yeah its that time in life where I gotta make big choices and Im just wondering whether anyone has done a history degree and knows where I could go from for a career afterwards, basically looking for anyone who's actually gone and gotten a history related carreer as a result.
I want to go to University for the flexibility of the qualifications but I want to do something in Historical field. I'm told archaeology is super competitive but I don't think working in a museum is something I would mind in all honesty. Mmm god its annoying when the ONLY thing you're good at doesn't have much practical skills...

Im actually seriously considering it as a sport because I don't like over competitiveness and what I see as hard fitness sports like soccer. I'd rather get fit in my own time etc and have a sport to do.

Kinda reminded by a comission I got coming up soon too so.

Just wondering generally if anyone else does it and any tips for signing up for clubs in the UK at least. Pricing of equipment, membership etc.

I lol'd so hard at this, my god, what do gaurds do in prison sometimes, I swear some are either stupid or just don't do their work properly.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor.....board-box.html

Jean-Pierre Trelbert escaped using a cardboard box which he packed himself into and got loaded onto a truck, 100 miles away he jumped out and nobody noticed until the truck reached its destination.

Gotta say thats a daring escape but then again, this is France, I have no idea of the state of prisons there.
