Suddenly, I don’t feel as if I have a venue here, anymore. Isn’t that a shame? I feel as I did with my old Myspace blog towards the end, where I was too afraid to say what I wanted to say, because I was concerned about who was reading it. Well, I have to get the fuck over it. I will die if I do not write. It also is not in my nature to keep my opinions to myself…hot-headed and full of it as I am. I need to rant, BIG TIME, about various things and figures, but once again, my own website that I have slaved over and worked so goddamn hard on and paid out of my own pocket for cannot provide me with a soap box on which to stand. For fuck’s sake.
I finished reading the second Gormenghast book earlier this week, and oh my, did I ever love it! If I make it to Wolverhampton tomorrow, I’ll see if I can pick up the third installment. I treated myself to a new DS game a few days ago as well, one that I didn’t even know was out! Oh, how I’ve missed Ace Attorney. That blasted Kingdom Hearts game can wait.
It’s a matter of days until Final Fantasy XIII!
My PS3 cries out in happiness!
I got cajoled into signing up to Lovefilm. I have a feeling I will cancel this piece of shit service before I ever get a decent amount of use out of it, but still, I’ll rent Bioshock 2 just so I can say my £4 came to something.
On another note entirely(isn’t this all over the place today why yes oh yes it is indeed?) I’ve really enjoyed the Winter Olympics coverage on Eurosport. I’m sad that Johnny Weir (the D is silent) didn’t place on the podium in the mens’ figure skating, because he is fabulous. They should still invite him to the exhibition so he can dance to Lady Gaga and drop a glitterbomb on their too-straight faces. If you have time, you should watch this film – even if you think he’s a sparkly drama queen, you can appreciate his lovely personality. I hope he is as happy in real life as he came across on TV these past couple of weeks.
Right…driving lesson first thing in the morning. So far, so very stressful. I was supposed to be meeting Dan after that, to collect the illustrations for Fight the Sky, but he can’t make it. I’d illustrate it myself but…nah. I’ll just do without drawings inside the book, and try to scrape together something on Photoshop for the front cover. How bad can it be? We shall see…
I hope I find the motivation to write on here again, soon. Until then you get bullshit updates such as this one, so enjoy. Oh, and I’m deleting WRAW.

Ouchies.
You shouldn’t have to censor yourself or your opinions if they’re truthful though – if other people get a sore spot over the things you have to say, then they shouldn’t provoke you into needing to say it. It’s their fault if they treat you horribly to the extent you need to vent about it. And if they don’t like that, then maybe they shouldn’t act like assclowns, or y’know, not read the personal blog of someone they’ve pissed off.
Don’t forget I’m only a message or an email away if you ever feel the need to talk or vent about anything, missy!
“I treated myself to a new DS game a few days ago as well, one that I didn’t even know was out! Oh, how I’ve missed Ace Attorney.”
Yay!
You won’t regret it. 
‘Tis all kinds of awesome. 
And your dislike of cute girly sidekicks will be off-set by 476% more Miles Edgeworth. 
Aha.
“I’ll just do without drawings inside the book, and try to scrape together something on Photoshop for the front cover. How bad can it be? We shall see…”
As long as your writing is present and not covered in neon green bile in a bizarre and unpleasant publishing mishap, then I’ve no doubt it’ll be sublime, illustrations or no.
So just get the damn thing published so I can order and read ittt! 
“Oh, and I’m deleting WRAW”
Ooft, now I feel even worse for being such a negligent procrastinating oaf.
I’m sorry! 
I hope you’re okay! Good luck with the driving lesson!
Though I’m sure you won’t need luck – if you managed to resist the urge to liquify pensioners, chavs and small children on your first day behind the wheel, then you’re as natural and restrained a driver as any you’d find on the road.

/ 27 February, 2010Simon, I can always count on you for a long, meandering comment filled with limitless possibilities.
Thanks for making me feel a bit better. Again. And please don’t feel bad for WRAW; it’s been dying on its feet for a while now, it’s probably kinda to take it out back and shoot it Of Mice and Men style, rather than let it wither any further!
And the driving lesson went well! Death toll is still at 000, so I’m pleased (and very, very surprised). xoxox
