I recorded a video, first one for quite a while for Youtube.

Here are all my photos bundled together what I took today at West Midlands Safari Park.

Today, I went to West Midlands Safari Park, which is not too far from where I live. It was my first time going there and I had a great time. It is so much better than the zoo and seeing animals roaming freely. I got a bunch of photos what I will try and get as much up as possible.

Been thinking of doing some reviews of certain game music soundtracks. A lot of music what come from video games, I tend to like to listen outside of games and this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. It is my favourite aspect of most games. There is a lot I'd like to say about certain tracks. I do have a whole lot of favourites what have stuck with me for a long time so this is something I want to have a go at sometime.

Don't you just hate it when people blatantly ignore you? There's this one person I've been trying to get through to for about two years now and he has been ignoring pretty much every single one of my emails. He blocked me on DA and Twitter for no reason although he has since deactivated from DA quite recently. There is another person who blocked me for no reason also fairly recently too who I had not long reconnected with.

I'm sick of all this ongoing saga what has lasted for over two years now and all because of a stupid permaban from a certain message board what could have easily been prevented. This should have expired a long time ago now. I do not want this to be hanging forever more. I have always only tried to get on with people and I hate it when people misunderstand and treat me like a criminal.

I now have a Discord account. I am going to try out this site and see what it's like. Scarpine496 is my account. Anyone else who has Discord please add me or direct me to some good channels.

First driving lesson later on this afternoon since a few years. Looking forward to it. Also just booked a theory test to be taken place on 5th April. Been practicing on a few apps and I think I should be okay with it. I am quite good on the multiple choice questions. Hazard Perception I'm getting better on although sometimes I click a little bit early or a bit late on the scoring window.

So I ordered a 10 hour block of driving lessons and I am going to start back up again after a year break. I will as before be doing automatic lessons, which is good enough for me and is much easier too. Not too bothered about limitations and price, etc. I struggle with manual and find it too stressful. Last time I did manual, I stalled about 10 times in one lesson and never went back to it. And that was after about 15 lessons in manual. Automatics are a lot easier particularly with people with learning disabilities.

This month has been a really good month. 2016 has gone off to a great start and hope it continues. So the highlights of February was my weekend to Belgium, which went really well with my first ever trip abroad in my whole life using my second passport not long renewed with my old one never being used. The hotel I stayed at in Poperinge was really nice and I saw a lot of different sights in the West Flanders region of Belgium.

Also, Saturday just gone I attended a demonstration in Central London as part of a campaign against the renewal of the nuclear submarines known as Trident. I seen quite a few prominent speakers while I was there live also. That also went really well and it was a great day out. First time I've ever seen Big Ben and the London Eye also what I saw as I was getting back on the coach to go back home to Coventry.

That's me all ready for tomorrow for my weekend trip to Belgium. Can't wait, will be my first time abroad. I will be leaving tomorrow morning and be back sometime Monday afternoon/evening.

Yeah I know this has already started in the USA but today was the premiere of the new X-Files season here in the UK. I am very impressed with this new season and tonight's episode was incredible. I already have the original seasons 1-9 on DVD what I absolutely love.

As for the new season, it is quite unusual seeing the characters much older even though they are still the same as before. It is great though to see this being brought into the 21st century and the internet age. Will be looking forward to seeing how this season unravels.

There is someone on here and on Skype who I once thought of as a friend. I found out he was accusing me of not caring just because I said to "don't worry about it" on things he doesn't understand. That really angered me.

Now I have just found out from another friend of mine about a callout journal and a callout screenshot what was about him calling him a troublemaker and stuff. I was obviously mentioned in that journal although not by name.

This whole crap has gone on long enough and I've more than had enough. Sick of this whole shit. Well you know what, that person can go fuck himself because I am done with this shit.

These are some ideas I have had for some Power Rangers fanfiction I had for some time. I did start this a long time ago but never got round to continuing it and gave up after just a couple of chapters. This would only concern the first few series as I personally feel this is where the true story belongs and also my favourite characters are in this area.

It would have a lot of alternate stuff in it.

The original five rangers (Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Trini and Zack) along with Tommy would remain to the end as regular characters and rangers right up to Countdown To Destruction. Similar to how the Friends cast are all treated jointly, so would all the original PR characters.
New OC/FC characters would be shown
Likewise with the original rangers, the original villains would also be more prominent in parts where they were otherwise absent.
More of my own ideas would be introduced as well as an alternate ending to C2D

First month of the year has been quite busy and has gone very well. Hope for another successful month too. Not sure if I will carry on with The Expedition. Going to have a go at some one-shot stuff instead and may have a go at trying some drawing even though I'm not really good at it. See how it goes.

Just a little something I'd like to say. So those who know me and my style of writing will probably have seen something similar in a lot of my works and with my character bios. I have quite an interest in bondage so characters getting tied up does appear heavily in much of the stuff I do. So I hope this is not a put off for people who read my stuff.

So this is what I came up with during the Hate & Mate Crime event I attended, which I shared my experiences. I wanted to share this as I'm sure others will probably have had similar experiences, particularly those who have learning disabilities like myself, which is what the event was mostly about.

Cyberbullying affects many kinds of people online and it is a very horrible thing to suffer. Many people have also suffered through depression and anxiety as a result of cyberbullying and it can be just as bad as real life bullying. I have been the victim of cyberbullies and have also witnessed other people suffer through this also.
Several years ago, I was part of a gaming community what I thought was okay at first. Several people in fact including certain people in the administration turned out to be not so nice as I previously thought. They were rude, arrogant, and quite nasty too. At the start of 2014, I was banned from that forum for no reason other than people slandering me calling me a stalker and said hurtful things to and about me. Obviously I wasn't too happy about it so I ranted about it multiple times on another website, which some of those same people attacked me for, accusing me of lying and trying to justify their actions. I went through several periods of anxiety because of it. I now have nothing to do with them nor have they bothered me since.

So a fairly small talk but very powerful and effective. The students I shared this with was really shocked at this and I was really open about all this. They asked if any legal action was taken and I said that it wasn't worth it. Although there were many times when I wanted to call the police. I'm just glad it's all over, at least I hope. I know some of those people will probably see this and might try something but I'm not scared of them anymore. I'm much stronger than I was and will be prepared to go into a lot more detail if I have to.

Something fishy about that new Lemmy's Land site. So I submitted a few chapters of one of my fics, what has already been completed beforehand and he changes details in one of the chapters. He only wants them sent in .txt format. Morton's Basics was full of spelling errors until I corrected him. Not sure what to think about that site tbh. I was quite excited when I first found it but now I don't know.

I don't even know if this is the real Lemmy.

This week has been quite busy with my Grapevine commitments and so will next week.

The first Learning Disability Partnership Board meeting for 2016 took place today in its usual place at Coventry City Council. The theme today was Health & Well-Being. The H Team talked about what they have done over the past year what included things like peer sessions and the work they do at Coventry University and University Hospital.

Other talking points was on Transforming Care what is a new project what is about helping people with learning disabilities to have a better lifestyle while being looked after at home and in more suitable environments rather than at hospital.

The other main talking point was on Acute Liason Nursing what is about supporting those with learning disabilities who have links with the hospital.

A few days ago, I was part of a Hate & Mate Crime project at the University of Warwick with others in the H Team working with social work students about how people suffer with bullies who claim to their friends. One of the topics was cyberbullying and I shared my own experiences and how I suffered with that forum I was in although never gave any names out. This is not the first time I have spoke about it either. I also spoke about what happened with my ex-carer also. Other topics included how certain people were murdered by mate crime bullies.

Lemmy's Land has been rebooted and is back up brand new.

This is so exciting. :D

This is really interesting news what has just come out the past few days. A large planet has been found in the outer reaches of our own solar system.

Last year I realised I was asexual having not known what sexuality I was. Now today having looked through a lot of sources online,

I now have gone through those same steps in my personal beliefs not knowing whether I am agnostic, atheist, spiritualist or what. I think my own beliefs for a long time have reflected atheism even though I believe there are things out there, just not godly. So I have just come across the term Spiritual Atheism and that looks just right for me.

So I am a spiritual atheist who is also asexual. Sounds about right to me.

Just heard the actor Alan Rickman died. Another legend gone so soon. :(

Who here lives on their own? I have been living independently for almost two years now and it has been great. I love being in a place where I can have my own freedom and my own space and basically do what I want, when I want.

I do my own shopping, my own cooking, my own day to day things and no-one breathing down my neck when I am on the internet and my own time to do things. It's wonderful.

2016 has so far gotten off to a great start. With things going back to normal, I do have a busy year ahead and the next few weeks alone, I have some things to look forward to, what will be explained as they come. I have also gotten into the progress of a new era online also as I have now started back up on my fanfic writing as well as just writing in general.

I have also discovered as I did last month that some people will never change and I no longer have the time or patience for these people no matter how many chances I try and give.

Cyberbullying will be a main part of a Hate & Mate Crime project with Grapevine coming up in a few weeks and I fully intend to share my experiences and hope this never happens again whether to me or anyone else with learning disabilities.
