Shabby

So it's day 2 of College Holidays and it has to be said I'm not feeling in a very holiday mood. It's more about killing time than savoring the moment really. For example today i went for a walk and didn't come back until the end of the day just so id have something to do! I did however manage to make a quick stop at the job center to see if there's any more jobs going.(Ive become quite the regular in the job center) There wasn't much there really, There was a job as an Avon lady a cleaner and a telesales person. All jobs didn't fit around my college sheduel . I did manage to get my Asda application form in so hopefully ill be hearing from them...I better had any way otherwise i just might go a little bit insane. Anyway enough about jobs and money lets get to the fun stuff!

So because I'm off college for a ridiculous amount of time I'm going to be drawing and writing more. I haven't written any fan fictions in ages and one is well over due. I just need an idea, some inspiration of some kind. But where....This is the question. I haven't written much but most of my fan fictions are on mibba , some of them i wrote when i was 15. I love writing but the problem is I'm quite shit at it. I cant form sentences to make sense and my spelling is always wrong and i use too many adjectives because i don't know what else to wright. *shrugs* At least i cant understand what I'm on about...or maybe i should read over what i wright...naah the day is too short for that!

In other news...

I know I know, big brother is a terrible show that makes untalented people famous for no respectable reason. It's also just a big joke that makes fun of people and tries to make hosemates argue with one another just to keep us entertained. Despite all this ...i cant stop watching it. I'm afraid I'm hooked! I'm sorry but hey, if i enjoy watching it i don't see why i shouldn't. At the end of the day nobodies forcing the housemates to take part in any of this and if you don't like it , don't watch it. Simple as that. As well as loving the new series I've developed a bit of a girl crush on one of the housemates. I love shabby i thinks shes awesome not to mention, hot.

Final piece

Today was slightly epic. Ive been locked up in a room all day with 3 other friends racing against the clock to finish my final piece. It's been hectic , mad and i didn't think i was going to Finish it all but at long last everything went to plan and i was able to escape that textiles prison.

At 1:50pm today we were toled that the finals had to be in at 2:00pm. You can imagine the panicked look on our faces as we looked at our half finished work lying on the table. I myself rushed to the sewing machine and just began putting everything together in one mad rush! I then grabbed any piece of paper and began writing my evaluation as quick as possible. Of course we never made the dead line of 2:00pm instead it was half an hour late but there you go.

For my final i decided to make a lino print. This is what i carved into a piece of lino. This took me 5 whole hours sitting there without a brake chiseling away at a piece of plastic. My fingers are all cut and bloody and my eyes are out of focus but of course it's worth it....right?

I personally have no idea how i managed to carve into that thing, You have no idea how tough it is and i know from experience that the blade is fairly Sharpe!

So this is the end result. A big sheet with prints all over it. It was ne'er impossible keeping the thing clean as there was ink all over my hands , clothes and face. Not to mention all over the table and smothered onto newspaper. You should have seen the mes when i attempted to clean everything into the sink, It honestly looked like id been caught in an oil slick!!

So that's it , my first year at Gorseinon College , Done! And what an interesting year it has been, Certainly better than my 5 years at Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr (comp). I wouldn't have stayed in that bloody place for any amount of money! I didn't care what college i was going to as long as it was far away from there. So it's been a year since my GCSE's which was Probably the worst part of my life in education. All through comp you think you cant get any shitter than you already are because your all treated like some stupid child! That is 1 reason from a very big list of reasons i went to college and didn't stay in school but that story is for another day, for now lets get back to the point...

It's hard to believe I've been in college for a whole year but at the same time it's weird because it feels like Ive known my college friends allot longer . Looking back i suppose it has been a long time and it has been pretty fun at times. So i have another whole year in college so there's no point getting all teary eyed and sentimental just yet folkes, there's still a load more college shenanigans to come.

Harry Potter Wand

Okay so this isn't a normal thing for a 17 year old girl to be doing but in my defence i never led anyone on by calling myself normal. Instead of wondering the streets ,getting off my face drinking anything containing alcohol , crawling into bed wearing a face full of foundation and the word "wanker" scribbled in sharpie on my forehead ...I am making a wand! Yes a wand. No wizard or witch can do without one and besides i think Dumbledore will be proud...god rest his soal.

When I'm let loose with paper a glue gun and paint this is what happens. In fairness i don't think Ive done a bad job. At least i didn't go into my garden , pick up a twig and color it in with crayons. Now that's what i call madness!0_o

I don't think i talk about harry potter enough on this blog so i decided to throw everyone in at the deep end and portray my mad obsession in the form of a wand. After gluing the whole thing together i had a thought that it would have been better to put feathers into it. Of course by the time i had this rare brain wave it was too late. Oh well there's always next time. This though also got me thinking. If i was in fact on my way to Hogwarts what sort of wand would i get given.


Well i think the core of mine would be a Runespoor fang 'cous its best for dark magic and I'd like mine to be ebony wood. There sorted! Mind you Olivander has nothing on me :^D

This isn't the first time ive got all creative and made some Harry potter merch of my own. Are you loving the Snape merchandise?I'll be opening my own Snape shop at this rate.

Anyway i'm off to read some good ol' James/Lily FanFiction...oh sorry snape my bad!

So it was another bright sunny day in Swansea so me and my best friend decide to go into Tsco , buy some pens and food, sit on the grass and draw on each other...like you do.

Of course the pens where being right fools and running out ever two seconds! Good job i got two of them but the other onesoon ran out as well! arrgh

Note to self : Never buy inky pens agin they just run out withing seconds of buying them!

Atleastethe food was too a higher quality. Purple Grapes and Onion Bhaji wraps...Heaven.

We "googled" random picture and got cracking! Took me a while but we had the angry protesting kids running around with big sign saying "free weed" to keep us company. Not to mention the lovely view of McDonald's , Castle Gardens and of course my personally favourite the famous BT building. Plus we were constantly being eaten alive by ants crawling up my trousers and eating left over food! One ant i can handle but when he bring his friends and family it gets ridiculous!

As well as having the help of a shit Tesco's pen , Sharpies came to the rescue. Good ol' Sharpies! I always have a mental image of David Beckham and Frankie Munez when i think of Sharpies. My favourite Sharpie is the turquoise Sharpie but that's slightly off subject. I wanted to Color the eyes in black but that would have taken literally all day and probably have given my friend ink poisoning by the end of it. Some might say its worth it!

As well as me giving My friend a pen Tattoo she gave me one. And here it is. You may already know but this is a cartoon of Karl Pilkington.Not bad i must say , she has the roundness of his head spot on. Karl pilkinton always gets me pondering life's questions that i wouldent normally ponder. For example while getting dressed this morning i wondered how a tomato plant knows what shape to take when it grows. Not only a tomato plant but anything that grows. Why are fruit that shape why are we shaped the way we are. I know it has something to do with DNA and all that jazz but still why that specific shape. Anyway Yes Karl Pilkington is a strange yet brilliant man and i was happy with my pen tattoo. Not sure if id go as far as getting him permanently on my skin though.

Dracula 2 [PS1]

I was watching The Angry Nintendo Nerd and the Irate Gamer and though "hmm maybe i should review one of the shittest games i can possibly find in my room" so here it is, this is my review of the game Dracula 2 for PlayStation 1...

I can see how this game was spread out into two games. There is so much un-nessasary story line involved at the beginning. The graphics remind me of final fantasy games as they are the highest quality!But i don't understand why they are to the best quality :S I think its safe to say there's not many fan sites out there promoting this game and anyone with a decent amount of intelligence will stay away from this game at all cost and never ever make the mistake of buying it in the first place...This of course means i am an idiot.

All this amazing graphic worked must have blown the budget so shreds . Whoever made this is probably now an alcoholic and up to they're eye-balls in dept. Maybe they thought if the story line was good enough to grip me at the start i wouldn't notice the game contend...unfortunately this was not the case. In fairness it does look like it's going to be the best thing since final fantasy. All this mythical shit going on , the in depth characters , evil vampires , how realistic everything looks . You might say this game has it all. I'm afraid this is the height to the entire game, it's all down hill from here. So i press "New Game" and hope i haven't wasted my £6.50...i also hope that was the end of the story intro because it did start to drag on after a while.

Oh i spoke too soon.....more story line ...

So were introduced to nina and dr suit. Ninas been bitten by a vampire and we get a little intro of what happened in Vampire 1. This man is trying to save his girlfriend Nina from death and he wonders if it could have anything to do with some ring he picked up in the first game. I know i know this is all bollocks that makes no sense but don't shoot the messenger this is what it's telling me. Anyway eventually the story ends and the game begins.

So I'm outside a stereotypically spooky house with a very annoying howling wind sound effect. But wait a second....WHAT THE HELL! I'm not a person? There is nothing on the screen it does'nt even classify as first person. I'm this pathetic dot on the screen! Not exactly as realistic as i would have liked. Jesus Christ the camera angle isn't much better i feel like I'm looking at everything through fish eye or on google earth! It literally looks like there's a photograph in front of me instead of actual surrounding. Okay so the game has already reached rock bottom it can only get better from here. lets see how i walk. Right so i don't press forward? i press X to walk forward...but it takes me to a loading screen every time i walk forward 0_o Christ we will be here all damn day at this rate.

...a while later

So Ive managed to finally make it to the front door and in fairness the graphics could be allot worse. Considering this is a PlayStation 1 game . Right so how do i knock the door? Its going to be quite the challenge considering i don't have any hands. Lets take a look in my inventory maybe i have a key. Nope just some bullets...that's really gonna help as i have no gun and no body! Jesus Christ im stuck at the front door how in gods name do they expect me to know what i have to do. I put that dot on he door and a picture of a cog appears. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?! Wait.....okay now there's a key and a gun in my inventory....that wasn't there before was it? Well that's spooky, Anyway i have the damn key now lets open the door it's freezing out here. *shitty door opening sound effect* *yet another loading screen* And we are Finaly in the house...

Hmmm well this looks just lovely. Again very typical, you can probably imagine what the inside looks like just imagine Casper's house without Casper and you have it. So lets take a look around everythings looking a bit fish eye as usual But the graphics aren't too bad. Looks like the only way to go is up the stairs so up we go. I cant image any enemies being around i mean how the hell will i attack them. This must be the most stupid way to explore a haunted house, I have to literally wait for it to load if i want to take a step forward. Who came up with this? i don't see why they couldn't have taken the time to create a character and have him walk around, They took enough bloody time with the story intro but when it comes down to the actual game nooooo they have to be as low budget as possible . I'm not even scared because if anything was going to attack me I'd probably be aware of it in advance as there would be a loading screen every time someone took a step closer to me.

Okay well Ive come across another door. God help me if this one needs a key. No i didn't need one and if found another dull empty room where i probably have to find objects.

So i seem to have found a werewolf...hes just standing there....looking at me 0_o
So what do i do out stare him? Hes not doing anything ! How do i even know hes a bad werewolf? Okay better wap out my gun. So i point the gun at the werewolf and shoot. Still nothing happens he just stands there. His life goes down but it just goes back up again ! WHAT THE HELL! Jesus Christ i give up. This is as far as i have ere managed to get in this game and as far as i ever will get. The decent thing to do would be to smash it to pieces then bury the pieces to make sure nobody will ever have to play it again...I hate this game
