It's 4am and I'm Awake

I haven't been up all night, I just woke up after falling asleep at around 1am(ish) with the laptop on and...Here I am! Well, as I'm mostly awake now and functioning (need to get and get a drink but cannot be bothered with downstairs so it'll likely be tap water...Need to put a bottle of squash or something in my room perhaps) I figured I ought to maybe post something.

It's been eventful since I last posted.

I returned to college on the 6th, and A Levels involve so much more work than AS, it's scary! I don't like the novel ('Waterland' by Graham Swift) we have for English, we're making a horror-comedy trailer for Media (with zombies) and the other Sociology teacher is a bit of a knob (but not actively trying to be).

I turned 18 on the 13th and had a great night out with my family at one of my favourite restaurants. Got quite drunk and went to college hungover on Tuesday the 14th.

On the 17th I went clubbing with people who are probably the best friends I've ever had and may ever have. Kelly organised it and it was perfect...Best birthday ever and amazing memories I'll treasure for the rest of my life.

On the knitting front I have a new project: a Californian King snake! He's about halfway done now and getting very long. This is my first experience of colourwork, proper colourwork, and I'm rather enjoying it.




I almost finished another blue Fetching to make a pair but somehow messed up and then lost stitches when I tried to tink and fix it and a mess occurred. Sad times. Will have to have another stab once snakey is done. Because he is a test knit and has a deadline.

Off to go back to sleep now (with the laptop off) as Blogger seems to be a bit temperamental tonight.

Toodlepip!

New Knitted Things!

Recently I discovered a programme known as "KnitPro" which charts any image you upload! Using it, I charted a Nobody sigil from Kingdom Hearts:



I'm rather happy with it and might try adding it to a scarf pattern when I have more time!

I also finished a pair of Fetchings for a friend's 17th birthday and only just finished them on the morning of her party after a few disasters (including my larger cable needle going missing! It's still MIA D8).




I'm currently working on a DS cosy and can finally do the magic/Turkish cast on! Yay!

After this I have birthday presents to knit for people I'll be seeing at expo and of course I go back to college in just over two weeks (Scary!).

I've also begun an epic Roxas/Zexion fic which I'm making sure to work on a few times a day.

Busy, busy bee!

Result!

Well, it certainly has been a long time since I've posted but there hasn't really been much to post about, if I'm honest.

I got the results of my AS Levels today.

English Language & Literature: A
Sociology: B
Media: B

I'm so fucking chuffed 8D.

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!

Waiting

Well, it certainly has been a while since I last posted here....Hum.

Life has really been as hectic as my absence might suggest but college has turned me into the Super Lazy Bugger and I actually started coming home at 6pm, eating dinner then sleeping for three hours before waking up long enough to salvage my sinking social life for a bit then sleeping again, getting up at 7, rinse and repeat.

Went to the London MCM Expo on the 24th, which....Had a better build up than actual deliverance, if I'm honest. I had a good time, but it could have been so much better.

First off, it was raining, lots, we got there just after it opened and because my friend felt ill we didn't try to queue for another hour or so. Then we queued. For two hours (The monotony only broken by a stripping Marluxia who I got a very nice hug from, thanks you!). Got our tickets. Celebrated this, had a cigarette (and my friend got a pint of cider), went to go and join the throng in the expo...To find another queue. My god...My friend was already rather tipsy by this point and I ended up losing her in there several times...

It took an hour of wandering around before I found something I wanted that wasn't over priced to the point of wanting to kill someone. I now own a very huggable Xemnas plushie and am on a contact list for a very nice t-shirt once the girl has more printed.

Found my friend once all this was done. She got herself another drunk (oh joy) and we ended up sat outside the ExCeL centre for about 45 minutes while she smoked lots and I swapped my SIM card to her phone after my battery died >.>

Tubed back, my friend falling asleep the whole time, then finally got to Paddington around seven.

Finally! I can sit back and relax!

Nope.

Our train was at first, delayed, then after half an hour, "Oh sorry, we've cancelled it."

Paddington, can you sign post the way to Platform 13 better? Thank you.

Found the next train, settled down, put my iPod on and zoned the fuck out.

My feet hurt, I have no pictures (sadly), I only met three new people but...Oh well.

I'll learn from this experience for next time.

***

Got my second HPV vaccination on Monday and I've been a bit ill ever since (I thought I had come down with swine flu on Tuesday, I was that ill...). Not fun....Stupid injections...

Now I'm a bit better I can knit more, although I can't work on Charlie's scarf until I'm fully better, I don't want to risk leaving any nasties anywhere near that.

And homework....When I said I only had to finish reading a book, listen to some radio, write 3 paragraphs about The Importance of Being Earnest and answer some Psychology questions...I didn't think I would procrastinate this much...

Oh well, what you gonna do?

***

I should be going to the MCM expo in Telford in February, however, and cosplaying this time (I felt empty on Saturday having not done so...). I need to speak to my hair dresser about dyeing my hair silver/blue (It's now red, I dyed it on Monday, yay!) but if all goes to plan I'll be cosplaying Ienzo (Zexion from Kingdom Hearts' Somebody, I can't afford the coat to cosplay the Nobody XD).

***

And on one last note, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is very good...In the way that the game play makes me gasm a bit and I love being able to play as all the Organisation members. The plot's a bit squiffy and the Castle Oblivion crew go and die within a month. And Saix's character has been raped, poor guy.

Labrynthitis, The Invisible Illness

If you have heard of Labrynthitis, well done. If not, it is an infection of the inner ear that affects your balance. In my case, I get short to long bouts of unsteadiness and dizziness. I first had this infection back in June, during my GCSEs, it was not pleasant, trying to concentrate in a near silent room while my ears ached and the exam paper danced in front of me.

Now, I have it again, it started in my first week of college.

Since June I have not felt myself. My hearing has been very sensitive to the point where I can consciously adjust my hearing to loud or soft sounds. I haven't felt truly steady on my feet until recently, and then it all started up again.

Now I have real issues going into shops, classrooms etc, knowing that standing up for long periods of time will surely make the ground start bouncing beneath my feet and that my legs will feel weak and useless.

I've once again started dreading leaving the house and my 'safe place' and being out and vulnerable.

I've become fidgety and anxious....And I feel tired all the time due to my poor brain having to deal with my previously automatic sense of balance.
I feel detached from everything sometimes. I get headaches and feel like there's a weight on my forehead. The ground feels like a bouncy castle.

I feel mostly best laying down as I can tell my body that I am definitely in a stable, safe position. Even when I begin to wonder if I'm on a boat or if there is an earthquake.

Labrynthitis is an 'invisible' illness. I outwardly look the picture of perfect health...(Except when I'm hugging the floor, swearing and begging for the dizzy episode to end.). I'm quite sure that some of my tutors at college think I'm faking.

Most people have never heard of this infection. I've only come across two or three so far who have known what I'm talking about. Hell, even Firefox's spell checker doesn't recognise it.

I know that I need to remain positive and not let this take over my life but sometimes I feel like curling up and crying because damnit, this just isn't fucking fair.

I can foresee another trip to my GPs and I will beg them shamelessly to let me see a specialist who will do more than get me to 'follow my finger' and measure my blood pressure (which incidentally is quite low, which doesn't help).

I don't want the anti-nausea seizure pills. I very, very rarely get motion sick (Thank fuck) and I don't want to take something with that many side effects or that causes seizures, fatal loss of red blood cells, etc and is also used to treat anxiety disorders and schizophrenia.

Yes, maybe that is me being paranoid but for fuck's sake, I have enough to deal with without risking more shit.

tl;dr I want to be myself again, please. I want my life back. I'll quit smoking if this will just go away and never come back.
I'm not asking for sympathy, I'm just giving an explanation for future inactivity and I needed somewhere to rant to and maybe try to shed some light on this altering illness.

Tired

Sooo....College is being okay. I'm hating my Media homework (researching radio news is tedious and boring). Aaaand, my balance is playing up again. I had Labrynthitis bacin June and now I have the same sort of thing again. I need to go and see a doctor again because I think it's getting worse and I want an actual diagnosis, not a vague whittle about viral infections and anti-nausea pills I won't take because I very rarely get motion sick.

In other news, my neck and left shoulder are KILLING me today; musta slept on them funny or something...

My birthday was fun. I got a red Nintendo DS =D. Charlie got me a wolf-whistling red dragon plushie which is uber soft and cute...Among other things...That girl spoils me XD.

I ordered Pokemon Platinum and Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days at the weekend, got Pokemon today (after the postue didn't knock and I had to go down to the sorting office...) and is fun so far.

Hopefully I can leave the rest of my homework to my breaks tomorrow so I can have some time to myself tonight.

Emmy out!

What I Go To School For

Sooo, college tomorrow (well, technically today now...). I'm nervous and excited. Lots of new people and classes and I get to see Charlie and Flora again! Charlie said she had something for me that would make me for laugh...A present in return for my looking after her in Oxford on Wednesday after she got a piercing done.

I honestly don't need to be repaid, it's just how I am; I couldn't have left her feeling sick and dizzy in the middle of a city she barely knows. That just ain't how I roll.

Started knitting my Heartless cosplay today, 5 inches of stockinette stitch in the round, gets kinda samey -_- Ah well, nearly done.

I finished the second Fetching arm warmer...And the bloody thing is nearly an inch shorter than the first one for one reason...Gonna have to block it >.>

The Beautiful Ones

Time to take a post to pay tribute to a truly talented craftswoman whose knitting talents I particularly admire. Her patterns are beautiful, and I am planning on trying several myself. They are beautifully presented, with easy to understand instructions and detail and pictures. There is information about the yarn recommended and the finished measurements (if you follow the pattern religiously and don't modify it a little to your own tastes, anyway) and a nice little paragraph about the item.

What more could you want from a knitting pattern?

Her blog is called Crafty Diversions (Great name, huh?) and can be found here: http://craftydiversions.wordpress.com/

And the patterns she is selling or giving away are here: http://www.craftydiversions.com/patterns/

What's more, is she is currently hosting a give away of all her patterns due to slight damage to them (a good sign that she cares about the quality of her wares!). So, get in there and try to win one while you can!

Go forth, my readers and witness her wise words and hard work, I guarantee that your time there won't be wasted =].

Back 2 Good

So I've been back in Oxford for just over a week and enjoyed relaxing in my own bed and with my own familiar surroundings. My internet is still being a class A pain in the arse, but my mother phoned Virgin today to try and find out what the problem is.

I finished my second knitted sock the other night, and started on a toe-sock. I love those x3.

Helped mum sort out a car boot sale today, only hung around for a few hours before letting my sisters take over. Didn't find much to buy either; a pair of five-pointed star earrings, Sonic Heroes for PS2 and Catz 5. £3.50 all together. Cheap as chips!

God I'm tired, I didn't get to sleep until around 4am and then had to get up at 8...Luckily I've since caught about an hour and a half's kip...

Tonight Was Your Last Night

Sooo, I've been without internet for a few days (extremely irritating). In Brighton now, and we finally got the internet working (my mother's friend's is password protected....).

Finally got a harmonica in Hastings, and a free lesson from the lovely old hippy whose shop it was. Very happy. He had a gorgeous sitar too but there would never be enough room in the car....

Got myself some fairtrade earrings made from recycled wire and metal, some little Chinese bell ball things, a bookmark, a bracelet and some incense today. Sadly I didn't get to do everything I wanted or find souvenirs for my friends but maybe we'll stop somewhere tomorrow before we leave.

Got a couple of nasty blisters...Well, one isn't too bad, the other, which is on my second smallest toe needs a chance to properly dry out and heal....Hopefully it will soon...

Hopefully I'll be able to post the few pictures I have of views and such in the next few days after I've recovered.

All Around The World

So here I am in sunny Kent and I must say, I'm enjoying it quite a lot already. The weather has been sunny but not uncomfortably hot. I've finally, finally!, worked out how to knit purl without the stitches getting all yarned over and confusing. Knitting just got easier and more enjoyable =].

Sadly, this means I am tempted to restart both my arm warmer and sock so even things out. The former perhaps, the latter not so much, honestly on the the cuff of a sock, who'll notice?

It's a shame that my aunt and uncle don't have wireless, so I'm using their computer as opposed to Zexy, which means no aimless surfing for me (although, in retrospect, that's likely a good thing...).

My uncle and I had a nice chat about books and I have a reading list that'll likely get longer....And a fifth book to add to my 'holiday reading'.

The drive down wasn't too unpleasant, although my sisters are bloody irritating, my iPod kept me nicely entertained and there was no desperate wanting for a piss while miles from the nearest convenient toilet, thank all that's holy...

I'll be off now, for more knitting, socialising and enjoying the double bed I have to myself and the gorgeous view from my window.

I'm so glad I brought my camera!

First Day Of My Life

So I thought I'd start one of these things as it seems easier and more 'professional' than using LiveJournal.

As I can be very uncreative sometimes, I'll use song titles for my post titles to keep things interesting, whether or not they'll coincide with the content is another kettle of fish entirely.

I'll be (hopefully) using this brand new blog to keep myself and anyone who cares enough to read up to date on my doings, thinkings and makings.

Now, on to the real content:

Started a brand new sock today. Well, just cast on and knitted one row really, I'll be working on it during tomorrow's car journey down to Kent, as it should be easier than trying to work on my arm warmer in a cramped car.

I'm all but packed, last minute things will be thrown in later tonight and tomorrow morning, like chargers and such. I hope my iPod will last, my skipping songs habit isn't improving much, sadly. When you have about 700 songs, some old, some new, well, the music still needs to match the mood I feel. Or just be very happy and upbeat when you're not feeling so good, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm hoping to be able to work more on my writings during this short holiday. Whether I end up writing more fanfiction (god I hate how immature and fangirly that sounds) or my original project, I don't know, I'd like to work on my novel more but I think more character development is needed, really...

What will likely happen is me just listening to music, knitting and playing some Pokemon on my GameBoy...Maybe I'll actually read some of the four books I'm taking ('My Grammer and I (Or Should That Be Me?)', a Christmas present that I will finish >.>, 'Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass', 'Anna Karnina' and 'Star Signs').

And maybe think about things I'd like to write, but can't due to plagerism and that as awesome as some ideas are, they aren't suitable for stories for anyone with an IQ under triple digits (Input a joke about Twilight or similar here).

Well, I'm just hoping that I get decent wireless internet (as I'm taking Zexy, my laptop) and a room to myself. I have a love affair with my privacy. As we all should, really.
