Now These Points of Data Make A Beautiful Line...
Well...Shit. Had some rather bad news today concerning a member of my family's health so...Could have been a hell of a lot better...Still, with the help of three very awesome friends, I'm feeling a lot better now.
Trust me, tearing up every few minutes on a 40 minute bus journey home isn't much fun.
Anywho, onto less depressing subjects~
I've decided, at long last, to purchase Portal. I've heard nothing but good things about it and I really ought to play the game that birthed Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton, which is one of my favourite songs.
I've had a lot of positive feedback for the latest rewrite of Apocalypse Theory. I think I'm onto something and am really hoping that this time I'll actually finish it. Well, the first book anyway. Four to five years of writing, developing and creating characters may finally be paying off (some of the characters are even older than that). I was worried that the first scenes would gross people out too much or that the back story would put people off but my fears appear to be ill-founded 8D.
Election Day today. I couldn't vote as I'm not 18 until September (boo). I think I would have voted Lib Dem as they had the best policies for students. I just hope whoever gets in sort the country out XD.
I haven't started revising for my A Levels yet (those of you who knew me during my GCSEs know I'm notoriously bad at revision...) but I know which areas I need to revise and which areas I know well enough to pay less attention to which is definitely a mark in my favour.
Recently started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney at long last. My god, it really is awesome! I've always had a passing interest into law and the like (blame my CSI addiction) and it really feeds that well. Not to mention all the little puns and funny bits in there, and the great characters. Being a writer, the importance of good characterisation is tenfold for me. If there are not characters I can grow to like and identify with I find it difficult to progress with something. Might be why I didn't like Of Mice and Men (plus the weird writing style...Urgh). Probably the reason why I take a fandom hook, line and sinker if I find a character I truly adore. At some point I need to write down the rambling Neffnie and I had about Nobodies...It was quite something XD.
Still unsure about university...I've found that I may be able to receive EMA even if I stay on a third year at college. I'm definitely tempted. I could get a few more qualifications and have more time to think about which university and which course I want to take. Plus, gives me more time to save up for it!

I Can See Clearly Now...
Well...Shit. I made a plan to update this regularly and promptly forgot *le sigh*. Ah well.
News...Hmmm
I has glasses now. I'm partially long sighted and so I have glasses for "concentrating" (yes, that's what the optician said). So I'm using them with computers, writing and reading. I look more intelligent when I wear them too XD.
My plans for expo are in some jeopardy, as the ebay seller I bought my Ienzo wig from reversed the payment shortly after it went through. Paypal failed to notify me and I find this out yesterday. It was due this week. And now, because of the backlog of post due to the suspended flights, it might not even arrive before expo ._. I will cry if this happens, I've wanted to cosplay Ienzo for so long! ;___;
Not much else to report, really, SoulSilver is fantastic (currently training my team in Diamond in preparation for the Elite Four...Wild Pokemon in Johto just aren't strong enough to do it quickly XD).
My first A Level exams are on the 27th...Yeah, better get revising!
The election is less than a week away now 0_0 Sadly, I can't vote, but I'm hoping the Lib Dems will get in, they seem to know what they're talking about and their plans to get rid of tuition fees would really help me out!
Also: The Pope Song by Tim Minchin is fucking ace, go watch it!

Longview
Booooored. And apparently very slack at updating this blog :O I'm a bit irritate with myself as I said I'd try to keep this as a constant thing...Maybe I ought to set two or three days a week in which I MUST update this blog? That sounds like a good idea!
So! Every Wednesday and Sunday, at least, I will update this blog.
So, how are things? Well, general cosplay meets and enjoying my new friends has been successful, I've hardly spent a weekend at home alone which is very good. I feel all active and popular XD. The time I do have to myself is mostly spent...Wait for it...Knitting XD. It's so. Damn. Addicting. Gah.
Speaking of addictions, I'm quitting smoking. Almost done with it, too. Down to 2-3 cigarettes a day from 4+ 8D. Go me!
College is going okay, still boring and apparently I somehow failed my Functional Skills exam but oh well, I couldn't really care less, to be perfectly honest.
My eyebrow piercing is playing up once more. I was told to get a smaller (1.2mm) bar for it and got a curved one that looks much better. However, there is some red scar tissue behind the top ball that looks horrible. A friend lent me some Bio Oil that would help it and as it has begun healing again, of course, there is crust and yuck. *le sigh* Eventually this piercing will be find and pretty and I can finally enjoy it.
Next major cosplay outing is MCM Expo in May. Plans so far are: Ienzo. I was asked to cosplay Tai from Questionable Content but as of yet it looks like this won't be happening. I'm more than happy to cosplay Ienzo for both days though! I have everything except the wig, really. A friend is lending me the labcoat and I bought a V-necked jumper from Primark on Saturday. It's comfy as hell and works great under my knitted jumper as it stops the wind blowing straight through to my arms.
Anyway, hopefully that will be a success as I have to cut, dye and style the wig to get the right gradient that Ienzo's hair has. Little bastard, having such pretty and difficult to replicate hair XD.
I'm writing this in college, on my own, in a computer room (was reminded of the existence of this by a Functional Skills lesson on blogging from MS Word). Why am I on my own? The lesson is over and Shasmin, who usually pisses about in here with me, isn't here. Sad times!
I pre-ordered Pokemon SoulSilver on Friday and got the dispatch email yesterday 8D. Hopefully that'll arrive on Friday with a figurine of either Lugia or Ho-Oh (as I pre-ordered from GAME). Fingers crossed!
So, yes, I'm bored, waiting for either someone to appear on MSN, DA or Twitter to entertain me at last!
I don't really think I have anything more to write about...I wish FaceBook wasn't blocked here so I could entertain myself better...Oh well.
Emmy out!

Snow
Hooooly shit have we got a lot of snow! At least 6 inches (probably more, must measure it at some point). It snowed for most of yesterday and all night so college was cancelled today and is cancelled again tomorrow 8D. This makes me very happy as it means more lay ins and time to bum around.
Started Jenn's birthday present so that should keep me busy for a bit (hopefully) as mum's birthday present is done except I need some white felt before I can finish it off ¬.¬.
Quitting smoking is going well. I haven't smoked more than five a day since the 1st (instead of the usual six to eight).
Going to upload some lovely photos of the snow from last night now and go bum around on Flickr for a bit XD.

So Here Is It
Christmas was pretty good. Got some cool things and mum's giving me money towards a desk, whoo! Other highlights are a microwavable plushie filled with lavender, which is lovely 8D and some very nice underwear. And an R4. I'm having lots more fun on my DS now XD.
I finally finished Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days the other week. A rather sad ending, a shame Roxas ruined it with a small sentence ¬.¬ The finally boss was pretty damned easy too. Oh well. I'm going to start a new game on Proud Mode once I'm done with Pokemon Platinum and the others. I still need to complete Final Fantasies X, XII and X-2 ¬.¬ There aren't enough hours in the day I swear.
Still knitting Charlie's Christmas presents furiously. Her scarf is almost done, just a few more inches now, and then the cat will only take about two to three days to make and finish so I'll have it done on time ^_^ Of course I also need to write my entry for TPBoD's writing contest, finish a request for Vanshira and do the little homework I do have.
Then begin mum's birthday present and Fabsie's very late Xmas present....*sigh* No rest for the wicked and all....
I have a primitive pattern for an Organisation XIII coat worked, I just need to make a minature to see if it'll work for me....But that'll have to wait for now sadly.

After The Thrill Is Gone
So it's been a long, long while since I last posted and I'm only really typing this because I partly don't want to neglect something I'll likely want to come back to later, and secondly, I'm waiting on replies from a friend.
Distraction makes the time go by after all.
So Saturday was the Christmas cosplay meet up in Hyde Park. I got there an hour and a half early and stood there on my own in the cold for that time until I found some lovely people who (sort of) knew where we were meeting up.
We eventually got there and fagged around for a bit until Parle arrived. Anyone who says that Parle were not part of the reason they went is a liar.
I waited a bit for most of the mob to leave KellyJane and TealPirate alone before approaching with my gifts for them.
My shock when Kelly asked if I was Cupid Stunt. I think my life is more complete after that XD. Jenn gave me enthusiastic hugs, I think she liked her kitty XD. We didn't chat much as they were the centre of attention but I had other people to hang out with so I wasn't exactly that bothered.
Amala arrived a short while later and I finally managed to have her (mostly) to myself to deliver the final cat of the day. Longest. Hug. Ever. She may have commented to another person that she got excited over anything but that doesn't devalue it much. Especially as she came over to me twice more to hug and spack again XD.
At about 2pm, people began to dispurse, including Parle. I bid them farewell as I lack an Oyster card (I need a damn photo for it or I could have gotten one...) got hugs from Parle and the other before making my merry way home to envy all the snow they got on the bus home.
It snowed a little during the walk home but didn't settle =[.
All in all a fucking fantastic day.
I'm getting post-meet blues now D: I won't see any of these lovely people again until at least February, some I won't see until May X_X.
Well, it's 4:15am and I'm still nackered so I'll be off.
Emmy out!
