NEW ACCOUNT - the reason I've been inactive.
Posted 11 years agoSo, I've been silent on here for over a year and it's been with a good reason;
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/octoberflixard/
That's my new FA account. I initially made it because I was embarassed about doing an Adult / Grimdark Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Fanfiction, but it's been going really well so screw it.
If you liked my earlier writing, you should probably like this. Plus, it's where you can find and contact me on FA these days. z: )

Not dead.
Posted 14 years agoWell, I haven't posted anything here since shit happened last November. Best clear the journal entry at the very least.
Well, I know I normally write Dickensian entries which wind on and on and explain in no uncertain terms what's been going on, but given that I have over six month to cover here, (and to me, a long six months at that,) I'm going to bullet point and that's just tough. z: j
* My financial situation has forced me to leave University.
* Xiv and I nearly broke up on the appointed date (July 4th) but decided to stay together.
* I've been through an incredibly antisocial period of my life, neither seeing online or meeting in person either Furries (local or otherwise) or my regular social group.
* I've been fairly miserable and fairly useless.
* I've recently been getting my shit back together thanks to persistant friends and a caring Wolf. Also Dungeons and Dragons.
* I've drawn nothing I want to scan and have written only a single short story, which is essentially Pokemon Yiff. I'd post it, but I think I'd die of embarassment. z: )
* I'm now Dungeon Master for two seperate DnD campaigns. I love it.
* I've discovered X2: The Threat and I currently spend my days space trading and pewing space pirates because I am awesome space fox. (Space sims are my genre, it's just been a while since I've had a good one. Dusted off the joystick and was glad to find it still works.)
* Tried TF2 again. It's still shit. Back to space.
* You are all guilty, of the crime of not going to space. (Also, Fox too can do teh meme.)
* I am still going to bite you all. As long as you are not sticky, slimy or non-yelpy.
* I bite/yiff/kiss the Wolf lots. If you're reading this Barky Wolf Xivotso, I'm gunna chew yah. A lot. Very soon. (I will!)
* Yiff. Yiff yiff shriek growl rattle yiff bark. (Fox noises.)

Grieving
Posted 15 years agoTo those wondering what's up with me lately and who haven't heard through other means;
My Mother died last Wednesday. I and the rest of her closest family were in the room when they turned off the oxygen and let her slip away.
I was there and I still haven't come to terms with the reality of it. My mind is retreating from reality and I'm really not up to much right now.

The Controversial Survey
Posted 15 years agothe dodgy meme
Journal Entry: 10 hours ago
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
Yes yes...
[02] Would you do Meth if it was legalized?
I would celebrate what would have to be the end of prohibition, but it's far too damaging for everyday use. Under the ideal Full Regulation circumstances I imagine it would only be used in small doses in medical emergencies that require massive painkilling and stimulation - I imagine you could use it to stop someone going into a coma, for example.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
For. Far too much human misery has resulted from unwanted pregnancies. No-one should have the right to force a foolish young girl or a victim of rape to have a child they don't want. That doesn't tend to work out well for either party in those circumstances. Even if we're talking adoption immediately afterwards, the woman will never be the same physically or psychologically. Yes, we do lose the person that fetus could have been, but we can also prevent the potential ruination of two lives. Also, a fetus is not aware until it actually develops a large enough brain. When it HAS, abortion is then no longer an ethical option.
[04] Do you think a country would fail with a female president?
Well, the UK did have Margaret Thatcher for a Prime Minister for 11 years and two wars. She did do her job, Britain certainly didn't fail, but she proved that women leaders can be just as ruthless and heartless and any man. Heavy industry was all but completely closed down in Britain in the name of change and enormous unemployment problems still linger as a result. Perhaps we are better off as a result but it's hard to forgive the closure of coal mines that were still making a profit. Overall... I'd say that the gender of your ruler doesn't make much of a difference at all. My Mother certainly came to that conclusion and regretted voting for a Conservative.
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
Certainly not. Revenge is never a worthy action. Punishment is, but death is not punishment, death is escape. If someone truly deserves to suffer for something unforgivable, like mass murder or a campaign of rape, they should frankly be made to rot in jail - preferably in isolation - for the rest of their natural life. I know many people beleive in hell, but its frankly undesirably existence is not proven.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Naturally. I beleive that all recreational substances should not be outright prohibited, but rather properly controlled and regulated. Prohibition merely gives money to some very bad people and causes many drugs to be unsafe through contamination and/or uneducated usage. Drug education is presently done dogmatically rather than scientifically.
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Of course. Marraige makes no difference to a person's natural hormones.
[08] Do you believe in God?
I am not convinced of the existence or non-existence of any divine presence whatsoever. I particularly have no trust however, in anyone who tells me they can speak for such a being, meaning simply that I do not trust priests or prophets of any religion. I don't beleive any mortal can speak for the divine.
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Marraige is a term loaded with religious significance. I'm perfectly happy with what we do have in the UK - Civil Partnerships. Same concept, more appropriate name, none of the religious significance. I like it.
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
The USA is literally a nation founded on immigration. The current occupants certainly have less reason to complain then the indigents that their ancestors displaced.
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Up to her - but it should be under supervision if she does.
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
It's eighteen here (or fourteen at home with the consent of parents) and I don't beleive it causes problems. Frankly, prohibition merely breeds rebellion anyway. Most people are done with puberty at eighteen and frankly, it's all downhill with your body from there anyway.
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Setting aside the conspiracy theories that the whole thing is merely an attempt to kick-start the never-ending war described in 1984, frankly the whole thing has come too far to come back now. If everyone just gave up and went home now, the whole thing would have been for nothing. That is unacceptable.
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Frankly, there are many circumstances in which the illegality of Asssisted Suicide is morally reprehensible. People should be able to choose if they want to die or not. Nor should anyone be made to exist as a vegetable who knows only pain.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
Frankly, children need discipline. There's certainly going too far to consider, but we've definitely proven that not doing enough is as big an issue. We presently have a generation who have grown up without fear of punishment. That is not natural.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Naturally! Don't expect me to pretend that I'm burning anything other than a piece of cloth though.
[17] Who do you think would have made a better president? McCain or Obama?
Please, you're asking me whether I'd rather see a Democrat or a Republican in the American Presidency? Frankly, it's just nice to see the American people get something vaguely resembling proper healthcare.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Heheh, of course. I alternate between self-consciousness and brashness constantly.

A new X-Com / UFO: Enemy Unknown game?
Posted 15 years agoYou know, when I heard that they were going to remake X-Com (or UFO: Enemy Unknown as I knew it in my part of the world) I was genuinely excited. I was hopeful that this was going to be one of those remakes where they just slap better graphics on an existing game and call it a day. That would have been lazy, but great. A full-3D sexed-up version of the game would have been effing bueno.
To hear that this is yet another Intellectual Property sacrificed updon the FPS alter, well, that's just plain disappointing. As has been said, for this and many other bastardised classics, why did they feel the need to hijack an existing IP? Did they think that all of us disabused turn-based strategy base-building types would THANK them for turning one of our beloved games into another shooter for the slack-jawed and impatient? Did they think the attention-span-less instant gratification types would actually give a s**t about the X-Com IP? I think they have their markets mixed up.
Ah well, I still pick up UFO every couple of years. I'm not going to bother buying this though. I got bored of FPS with the original Half-Life.
I did play Fallout 3 and I did enjoy it (it had just enough stat and inventory fiddling to keep me entertained) though not as much as the first two, but this is quite simply a different case. Fallout could be adapted because the story and gameplay did focus on a single character (and friends.) X-Com cannot because it was never about the characters. Not your anonymous base commander, not the red-shirt plasma-fodder troops (just TRY getting emotionally attached to them) and certainly not the dozens of faceless Scientists and Engineers you employed.
The current games industry needs to get its head around the fact that some of us couldn't give two craps about characters or dialogue a lot of the time. Some of us just want to build bases and control interceptors and toy soldiers. The less we hear of voice actors the better.
Additionally, I did play UFO: Aftermath. I did enjoy that, the realtime tactical "stopwatch" combat was actually pretty well done, but unfortunately I felt the game stripped out too much of the base-building and UFO-interception gameplay. It oversimplified the UFO/X-Com concept to the point where the world-map was little better than a mission select screen. In Enemy Unknown, for me, the core of the gameplay was building and managing my bases and interceptors, whilst the inevitable ground missions were at times just a periodic annoyance.
It just bugs me that the games industry at the moment seems to shun 'impersonal' games, trying to give us all "compelling and engaging cinematic experiences" or rather; Showing off their latest motion capture bollocks and torturing our ears and minds with irritating voice actors and poorly conceived characters acting out terribly written stories.
Some of us couldn't care less about these mewling morons. Some of us are more interested in the big picture. A picture hopefully big enough that you get a good overview and can't make out any faces or voices.

Life update.
Posted 15 years agoWell, things have settled down a bit. Home life is more or less back to normal, albeit without Xiver. I think my parents and myself just wanted everything to go back to normal as quickly as possible. So, we've ignored the shit out of the drama of last week and gone on as usual, when I've actually been here. Naturally, I have been spending more time out of the house, over at Xiv's or at Age and Marsten's.
I can't say I'm completely happy, since a part of me shouts that I shouldn't let things lie, that I should be arguing for them to let Xiv come back over instead of allowing a state of denial, that if they're willing to put up with the difference in me, they should be able to put up with Xiv's presence as well. A more reasonable part of me advises that things should be allowed to settle for a while before I pull any crap like that and that I should be grateful that things didn't turn out much, much worse.
In other news, the break from Uni has been otherwise pleasant (despite the great deal of work to do) and I'm looking forwards to my loan coming in week and the temporary repreive from poverty which that represents.
Also, I'm getting the urge to submit some crap to FA again. It's been four months since I even uploaded that silly, badly drawn meme and I feel that it reflects poorly too poorly upon my Anthro Artisan side for my poor vulpine vanity to take. z: )

Important news concerning Xiver.
Posted 15 years agoToday has been a downright horrible day.
This morning, me and Xiver had sex in my bed. The only unusual part of that is that it was during the daytime, which we usually don't do because my parents would hear it. However, the house was silent and we thought no-one was in. Turns out we were wrong.
The long and the short of it is that Xiver is no longer welcome in this house. I'm angry, disappointed and upset. As you might well guess, I suppose.
Things got worse when I stood on a memory stick containing my coursework. I destroyed hours and hours of work. Including a programming assignment that's due in tomorrow and worth 100% of the marks for a year-long module.
I've been at it for over eight hours and I've only re-written about a third of it. I'm going to have to pull an all-nighter and I still might not get it done.
No, this is not a good day at all.
Finally, in case you had not guessed, this means that Xiver will now no longer be coming online for a while, as his internet access was at this house.

=Khaz's Writing Meme=
Posted 15 years agoI saw this and I just had to do it. The novelty factor was mighty... and in all honesty, despite the long, bumpy decline-trend in the amount of writing I do, there's still a shameless little bastard part of me whom considers theirself a writer. That part made me have to do this.
Quoting from Khaz:
"Alrighty, so, I've seen tons and tons of memes for visual artists, and precious few for any other medium. I've only seen one meme for writers, and it was fun, but I feel like doing something a bit different. So, this is one created in the spirit of the art memes; the aim isn't to answer questions, but to practise your art in response to some instructions. I have never created a meme before, so feedback is definitely solicited: Too long? Too short? Too boring? Please tell me.
Anyhow, without further ado, I give ye:"
=Khaz's Writing Meme=
Write yourself an introduction paragraph however you like.
Starlight slinks quietly into the room, almost unnoticed, the door opened minimally to accept him and ensure the safe passage of his tail. His poise is irregular, but low and smooth, his muzzle hanging downward, not seeking attention. His eyes however, make a clear and definite pass of the room, seeking interest.
Finding a spot close, but not next to those who have his interest, the Fox settles his back against the wall and smirks, his sharp eyes dancing over the details of the room, his keen ears tuning in on all that interests him, his mind freed to wander.
Write a descriptive paragraph about being somewhere you've always wanted to go.
The pressure eased off on his chest, little by little and his beating heart steadied, but slowly, its racket seeming to fill the small chamber. His breath, so heavy so shortly ago, was gradually becoming lighter than ever. Suddenly, the drinks packet that had left his hand flew past his head, impossibly slowly. He released the clasp and with the slightest shift of his body, left the seat. He looked to the porthole and his breath was stolen, he was finally seeing the stars in their true glory.
For the hell of it, write a haiku about one of your favourite species.
I play with the Wolves,
Their poise is noble and dread,
Though truly they are daft.
Write a brief rant about something that's irked you lately, be it a politician or a toaster!
Hmmm, this is strange. I find myself without a rant today. That's normally my reason for any journal or comment on FA. Perhaps that should be my subject. For subject to whimsicality am I; prone to crusading on little issues, passionately and pointlessly. I expend my energies chasing little issues for no reward, for I beleive that idealism is something precious, to be treasured, to be used and conserved as necessary. Though my occasional unwanted rants my garner me unwanted attention, what I truly fear is not censure or chastisement, but apathy. I firmly beleive that cynicism is the mental equivalent of arthritis.
Write the most godawfully tacky, cliche, eye-bleedingly-badly written action scene you can muster.
"No! You're wrong, he WILL come!" she cried, struggling at her bindings as the evilly ethnic man leered uncomfortably, betraying his supposed moral superiority with a clearly lustful gleam in his eyes, a cruelly curved knife in his hands.
Suddenly, the door burst open! Drawing back in shock and forgetting their automatic weapons, the assembled communists fell back in awe as 300 lbs of American muscle flew through the air, an M16 in each outstretched hand, stitching the enemy lines with righteous bullets.
Landing and finding his feet again with a perfect commando roll, GI US smirked as the flood of brass casings scattered past his feet one way and a dozen or more communist arab terrorist foreigners fell the other with a slow, hanging groan that instead of decrying the pain and despair of a person subjected to death, admitted that they had been bested at the last by a morally superior force.
The 285 lb Iraqi-German man, with his Oxford education, bastard accent and evil, evil ideas of peace and sharing, sneered as he squared off against the 300 lbs of heroic white meat.
They looked each other in the eye - resolute free-world vigour meeting snide hypocritical evil - then launched at one another. The fight was brief, but fierce, a few underhanded blows landing impressively against the American hero, causing pain, but his will was strong and soon he was on top, landing one straight-up clean punch after another.
Soon, the fight was decided. The bronze-skinned man lay on the floor, beaten and panting.
The heroic, triangle-torsoed figure above him, turned his back with a gaudy quip and turned his attention to the glassy-eyed damsel.
"Look out!" the cry went up. The hero turned to see a Luger pointed straight at his head.
A shot rang out.
The evil, foreign man lay dead. The hero turned to see his ethnic minority pal standing in the doorway with a wise look in his eyes.
"You never did learn to watch your back, buddy."
Khaz, this was actually painful to write, even if it was fun. Grrr. z: )
Tag people by writing about them writing!
Age sat back, grim and resolute, a powerful shape pouring hate upon the Laptop screen. The words upon the screen betrayed him with their infidelity. He was angry at himself, too. Nothing worked. He grunted.
"Mars?" he asked aloud, without looking around.
"Yes, Age?" came the pleasant reply.
"Could I get some Skittles?" he asked, the mighty man sounding cheekily meek.
"Oh, go on then."
A smile cracked Age's lips. At that moment, a line of great evil came to mind. The old stuff. Words to break nations by. He hammered it out with great care and corrected it thirteen times before he was done. The finished result showed it, but was fun to read not any the less for it.

Nightclub Report - Post Mortem
Posted 16 years agoWell, it's with a heavy heart that I must report that whilst Xiv and I decided what the hey, to ballsily don our tails (which is something of a tradition of mine near Halloween regardless) and get our asses out to check out the supposed Furry night advertised on the flyer, we could find neither sight nor sign of said event.
Arriving at the Cosmic Ballroom, we found it quite closed. An ear to the door revealed no sounds at all, certainly not the tasty rythmns of Breakbeat or Electro. On the outside possibility that The Cut, the only other thing on the flyer that could have been a location may have been the place (though a Google Web/Business/Map search turned up nothing of the sort in Newcastle) we asked around town, questioning clubbers (passers and friends via phone,) doormen and even a couple of Police. Not one had heard of anywhere called The Cut nor could find anything on the Flyer (which I'd brought) which could also have been a venue or known event. It's worth noting that my friend Tahti knows one of the people involved in Rub A Dub Dub, but couldn't get through to him.
So instead me and Xiv met up with Tahti and Henry at a Reggae bar and did our damndest to have a good night regardless. We met the DJ, who was a pretty cool dude up from London trying to get his tunes heard.
An additional sour note arose when at the Head of Steam Pub, Xiver and I ran into some very rude (drunk) chap claiming to be from UKFur.org who after dismissing us as all the worst stereotypes of Furries. After all, despite the fact that we didn't know him nor had ever spoken before, we were wearing tails - which at least he could understand after seeing the flyer.
That would have been fine and potentially a chance to make a new connection had he not proceded to insult Xiver's Wiccan beliefs. From that point on there was no possibility of getting a word in edgeways from myself, as Tahti and Xiver were pretty goddamn pissed, both in terms of alcohol and temperament. Before things could calm down, the guy jumped into the Taxi he had been waiting for and at that time, everything was just about to shut.
Alas, such is the trouble with alchohol and anger. Neither tend to breed understanding. Oh well, we'd been having fun up until then anyway.
Oh and as a side note, I finally gave to the pressure of feeling like I'm out of the loop (since text messaging is out of fashion and expensive these days) and joined Rupert Murdock's spy network... erm, I mean Facebook.
Already kind of regretting it. It's demanding my attention like a yappy dog. I'd best get over it though because dammit, I've realised that the method of communication is not important, merely the proper maintenance of communication with my friends... and the new YMCA Radio station, apparently, since Tahti's tha DJ.
Oh well, life goes on. It's Xiver and Besty's Halloween Party tonight. I'm going as a Pirate. z: )

It's finally happened; A real Nightclub doing a Furry night?
Posted 16 years agoToday, as I was getting my Lunch in Newcastle between lectures, I was handed a flyer by a young girl who casually stated, "Furry night!"
Seeing as being assailed with Nightclub flyers is a fairly common random encounter in Newcastle, I wasn't really paying attention and it took a few seconds for the penny to drop. I looked at the flyer.
"
RUB A DUB DUB PRESENTS...
ZOO
THURSDAYS:THE CUT
DUBSTEP : ELECTRO
"RELEASE YOUR WILD SIDE ...BIAATCH!"
"
On the front of the flyer was a picture of four guys in boiler suits with animal heads and gloves.
Now, were I not in a hurry to get to my next lecture, I might have gone back and asked questions.
There was a web address on the flyer, www.mishmashevents.com which I visited, had to sign up to for information (the swine!) and found sweet nothing more out, apart from the location:
Cosmic Ballroom, Stowell Street, Chinatown, Newcastle
I've heard of the Cosmic Ballroom, there's supposed to be some pretty funky stuff goes down there.
The flyer states, "STARTS 29TH OCT 09" at "11 TIL 3AM" and also that it'll be £5 on the door.
Now if I had some effing money that I could afford to spend, I'd give some serious consideration to checking out these claims of a Furry night. If Furry isn't just a word that the flyer girl picked up from 4chan and this is seriously something that a real nightclub in my home City is doing...
HOLY GOODNESS.
FURRY HAS MADE THE MAINSTREAM.
THE END IS NIGH.
Heheheh. This world we live in is HILARIOUS.

Well... I just got out of Hospital. The NHS saved my life.
Posted 16 years agoWithout meaning to sound like a bit of a naive wimp, I've had a bit of a traumatic experience lately.
With my abdomen aflame with pain on Monday, I thought I just had food poisoning. The symptoms were just like those I had after drinking some old water a couple of months ago whilst at Razzle's place (which in hindsight probably means that the old water wasn't the problem.) I wasn't going to call the Doctor, because I hate wasting the Doctor's time for stuff you can recover from quite naturally.
However, I've recently moved back into my parents and my Mother felt differently when I didn't recover after a single day, since I'm between GP practices she called the NHS Direct hotline (a step between local Doctors and the Emergency Services we have here in the UK.)
When they heard that I had black diarrhea they recommended I check myself into the nearest Accident and Emergency, which was at Rake Lane Hospital in Whitley Bay.
I was run through a battery of scans including a CT scan (it must be noted that the radioactive injection feels very warm and nice) where they determined that I had the human body equivalent of a primed hand grenade in my abdomen.
It was already quite late so they operated the next day. They performed keyhole surgery (which is actually pretty cool, they use a thermic lance to burn small holes in you and seperate your organs by inflating you with C02 (which does later lead to some uncool gas, but so what) then use an endoscope and fine tools) and removed the offending appendix, which was apparently in a horrible, horrible state.
It's a lot better than having a three inch scar which would have left me bed ridden for weeks, but damn did it hurt afterwards. Most importantly though, it saved my life.
I got home yesterday and slept for almost the entire day (it's impossible to sleep properly in a hospital, I tell you,) until Xiv and Freaky turned up to keep me company. Bless them, I think they'd worried more than I had, those sweeties. My poor, poor Wolf. I just know he'd been a whimpering.
Today the monthly Newcastle Furry Meet is on. I had resolved to turn up to it for an hour or so, since I've never yet missed a single one... but I may not bother after all. I think it might be a bit much for me after all. With all the antibiotics I'm on, I could do my usual social drinking anyway.
I've not a single complaint about Rake Lane Hospital. The place was gloriously clean, healthily staffed, efficient, well equipped and everyone was well informed. I myself was fully informed at every stage and treat with respect and courtesy.
It's very popular to bash the NHS in the media. I'm happy to say that I am one of the vast majority of patients who have had a good experience of it.
Anyway, now that I've documented all of this, lest I ever forget (as if I could) and I have my life... I'm going to start posting submissions on FA again. Starting with writing.
It's a trite cliche, but this sort of thing does make you appreciate your opportunities for expression in life.

Celebrating a Quarter Century of Fox
Posted 16 years agoHahah, yes, it is my Birthday. Twenty-five trips around the sun and a great opportunity to kick back from all the stress and enjoy myself with my friends.
I intend to get thoroughly wasted tonight, that I may rise to an alternate consciousness state and enjoy the plateau of alternate reason. Translation: I intend to get as drunk as my limited budget allows. I dare say this shall be awesome. ^.^

New Journal Entry
Posted 17 years agoWell, I looked at my page and thought... six months. Hmm. Look at Mister Disinterested here. Oh well, not really what I wanted to say to the world. Yet... what do I want to to say to the world? Ha ha haa. "lol"
Well, lately I have been primarily feeling ill and playing computer games. Ah, yes, as well as my usual Eve Online immersion in the infinite realms of space and the joys of space battleships, I have gotten my joyous paws upon Fallout 3, the game which promised to be the one I was looking for. After all, I spent a great deal of time on Fallout 2 and on Oblivion, so this one promises to be a real time-eater.... oh and it HAS. Hasn't it just. Oooh the fiddly fun. How nice it is to have a new game with an inventory and stuff to do in it. Micromanagement, that's what I love. Ha haa, obsessive compulsive and yet I'm not.
Anyway, rambling aside... erm... Still here. Still working on stuff.
A test on here recently stated that I was 72% happy, though I couldn't be bothered to keep the workings out. That's nice I suppose.
Work makes me think I'm going to lose my mind. I think I might have to try and find some other kind of work. Some kind of work where I'm not dealing with phones, magic Broadband TV boxes which don't work as sold and the pleasant British public wondering why a Wireless Router doesn't work when it isn't plugged in. I think that after 20 months of this, I have confirmed to myself what I've always known. I'm not that much of a people person. I have a capacitance. It's possible I might explode. Ha haa. Explode.

Current Events
Posted 17 years agoMan, it's a tad fucked up to learn that a few hours before I ran my very first Dungeons and Dragon's session as a DM, Gary Gygax, the inventor of DnD, died.
Though whilst this is very sad to know, the timing is not so poor. Me, Age, Xiver and Marsten had a great time. The guy was proud of his creation and what it gave to people.
Life continues on at present. I'm even more dissatisfied with work now than ever. Now that I have experience it's time to move on. I can conceivably get a better job now and I plan to do so. Fluid (or a lack of) sleeping patterns are amusing for a while but break you down in the long run and whilst I appreciated the chance and ability to help people, they seem to be trying to take that away from me too. Most of the people I respect have also already left.
There are also other complications in other fields that I don't particularly wish to go into here sadly, but generally, my health is okay and my mind hasn't quite cracked yet.
I'm working on something, too.

Valentine's Day + Fox
Posted 17 years agoHeheh, just saw a Fox Fox. A big male just right outside my back gate whilst I was approaching over the field. Jumped out into next doors floodlight as if to say hello then backed back into our little forest (there's a tiny forest I planted out of the back of my house, I say tiny, but most of the trees are over ten years old now) to let me past. z: ) He didn't go bolting off into the distance which is cool. Tempted to leave some food out if I didn't know my dear Rosie catto would be the one to eat it. z: )
Anyway, that experience cheered me up immeasureably. Before that, I was getting myself a little down thinking about some of my regrets... which is always a stupid idea, isn't it? Ah well.
Have a Happy Valentine's day everyone. If someone has touched your heart and you haven't let them know, tell them now, even if you don't tell them who is telling them. Tell them.
It's 23:45 GMT right now, so there's still time.

THE PAINFULL TRUTH MEME
Posted 17 years agoPainful truth? Seems more like the depressingly mundane Meme to me. I'm not in the mood to write a real journal post though.
1. last cigarette?
At 01:30, just before sleepy sleeps.
2. last alcoholic beverage:
At about 22:30, not long before I left Tom's.
3. last phone call?
Erm... Will, whilst I was at Tom's. About Eve.
4. last text message:
Xiver
5. last CD played:
CD? Oh good grief... you know, that's a damm good question. I have hundreds of CD's and I just don't whack them in anymore. MP3's are so convenient... Whatever it was, it was probably a Radiohead album. Perhaps Amnesiak.
6: last BUBBLE bath:
When I was five. Turns out it dries my easily-dried skin and I STILL have the rash.
7: last time you cried :
Whilst listening to In Rainbows by Radiohead. It woke my heart up.
8. last meal:
A four cheese thin crust Pizza from Asda garnished with extra cheeses, coriander, black and white pepper. Never take those things as is.
SEVEN have you’s:
1. have you ever dated someone twice?:
To this day I'm unfamiliar as to what would actually be classified as a date.
3. have you ever kissed someone & regreted it?:
Yes.
4. have you ever fallen in love?
This emotion has been censored.
5. have you ever lost someone?:
Depends upon what you mean. Not to death, thankfully.
6.have you ever slept until 2pm?:
Many times.
