The Death of a Segment.

Okay, since I can't be bothered, i've decided to stop with Photoshop Adventures. It didn't seem like any of you really liked it anyway. 4Koma Laziness will still continue, however. In fact, i'm working on one right now.

Popular demand may revive it. Anyway, that's it really. Keep your eyes peeled for the new 4Koma Laziness tomorrow. Until then.

Visit.

Uhh, yeah, I visited Smithfield Public School yesterday, and I stayed there for the whole school day. The place has changed quite a lot. There's new buildings and stuff everywhere, and a lot of construction/demolition is taking place. I mainly visited to see the Year Sixes off on their last day of primary school, and that's precisely what I did. Only a few other people turned up as the day went by, but it's better than visiting alone.

So yeah, I got there in the morning, a little bit before the first bell went. I turned up in school uniform, and it felt nostalgic coming back with it on. It was quite small though. As time passed, William, Jonathan and Madeline also showed up, and after recess and a lot of conversation, we went off to McDonalds to pass some time. It was pretty awkward, as it looked like we were skipping school, with our uniforms on and everything. We bought some sundaes and stuff, chilled for about an hour then made our way back to school, where we continued catching up with our old friends.

Jenny C showed up some time later, and more stuff happened. Before everyone knew it, the Year Sixes were called up to the hall, where they were congratulated by the teachers. For whatever reason, we went into the hall with them, and it felt pretty awkward. After that, people made arches, and saw them out. People were crying, and I can't blame them. Goodbyes were exchanged, and with nothing left to do, I boarded a bus headed to William's house.

Nothing really happened while I was there. There wasn't really anything to do, so we just watched TV for a while. Later, we decided to play DotA, in a desperate act to entertain ourselves. We played, and I sucked. I didn't really like it. Halfway through the game, I got picked up and whisked back home. It was a pretty tiring day.

I'm still tired, so I might get some sleep. So yeah, until next time.

GITAH!? Again.

Yeah. I got my electric guitar today, as an early Christmas present. It's pretty awesome, pic related.

Yeah, pretty damn awesome.

It's an Epiphone Les Paul "Special Model". Oooh. It cost around $300, which is, I guess, pretty cheap compared to whatever else was out there. I'll be using it for the Caramelldansen performance thingy, as well as general guitar playing, of course. Oh yeah, about that, we decided to call the band "Dis-band". Wordplay at it's finest. Well, there really isn't anything else to talk about, so i'll end this here.

Until next time.

Band.

Alright, the epic Master of Puppets cover brought to us by Thomson and Alan in one of our more recent year assemblies, (link here) was awesome. So awesome, in fact, that a few people have been inspired to join forces and make a cover of their own.

For some reason, i'm one of these people. The three of us, and maybe more to join on the way, intend to make a cover of the song Caramelldansen, by Caramell, an incredibly catchy and annoying Swedish techno song that comes with it's own equally catchy dance. This is a pretty big thing, and some of us are actually kinda serious about it, for whatever reason. I mean, we might even host practise sessions during the holidays. Hardcore.

Anyway, yeah. So far, this "band" consists of 3 people:

Dominic:
On keyboard. He intends to sing too, somehow. He's the only one who can actually pronounce the lyrics.

Isaac:
On drums. Only one who can.

Me (what am I doing here?):
Guitar. Probably playing lead, because there isn't anyone else. Better off playing chords though. I'm getting an electric guitar soon, and i'll be using that.

We don't have a bassist, proper vocalist, and another guitarist might be nice. ;_;

Well, if we do manage to get somewhere with this, we'll probably perform in a random year assembly. Don't get your hopes up though, we're new to this stuff, and we're probably going to disband if we get bored, or find things too difficult. Anyway, I just thought i'd let you all know, so we can get some fan support. Whatever. Like anyone would support us. Oh, and if for some reason you want to join us, let one of us know.

Until next time. Wish us luck with this. Look out for us next year, if we pull through.

Self-degradation and Enlightenment.

Oh my. Look at what this place has become. I'm insulting myself to try and come off as funny. You could say that I was being funny at the expense of my sanity, and that's exactly what's happening.

In recent posts, i've been degrading myself, depicting myself as some hopeless, creepy, socially inept shut-in, that does nothing but play dating sims. Eh, in essence, that's what I am, but there's more to me than that, or so I like to think. I think i've gone too far in this game of self-degradation, and i'm feeling some effects. It's made me think about many things. Maybe I can change. It definitely isn't too late, I mean, if anything, people at my age shouldn't be doing the things I normally do. What do I do? Well, yeeeeeah. You know what I mean.

Why are these things happening to me? This early too? I'm in a situation comparable to, let's say, a young man unfortunate enough to contract an uncurable terminal illness. He has yet to experience the wonders of life. Alone, he lies in his bed, unable to do anything due to his condition, counting the beats of his heart until they stop forever. In my case, my illness would be my habits, as they hold me back from doing anything, much like the man's condition. In my case, I wouldn't die, but if this goes on, i'd lose all contact with people, which is comparable to death. I don't want this stuff to happen, and chances are, they won't. This is the worst case scenario, of course.

It's scary. Thinking this deeply into this matter has brought up some frightening thoughts. So, i've decided. I'm going to change. Well, not completely, of course. There are some thing's that will remain constant. So, let's start off with something simple, shall we? From today, i'll get off my butt and take some action. Small steps, huh. What can I do?

Because this would totally make sense, go ahead and post suggestions as to what I should do to pick up my act. Starting off small, gradually achieving bigger things. Of course, i'll post about how i'll gradually improve, if I do at all. At best, I hope this post was

And you do something worthwhile with your life too. Until next time.

4koma Laziness - 02 - Hopeless.

Waha. Ties in somewhat with the previous post.

Note: 4koma Laziness is now just another random comic segment. It's wandered from it's original intention, that is, as a simple way to recount events, and has now become some random gag comic series. Hopefully, you'll get some laughs out of it. Don't expect too much~

Until next time.

Substitute for Reality.

So yeah. As you've probably noticed, (and if you haven't, you're pretty darned slow) that i've been playing Persona 3 a lot lately. So much, in fact, that i've come to start to relate my life to the main character's. I tend to do similar things with the main characters of other various visual novel/life simulation games because, well, let's face it, they lead much more exciting lives than me. I don't know if i've ruined my outlook and expectations of life by playing too much of these kinds of games so early in my life, but it doesn't matter.

Anyway, back on track. Yeah, i've been playing quite a lot of these games lately. I don't know why exactly, but the premise of them just attracts me. Gameplay generally involves making many different friends, immersing yourself into the story, living life and shaping the personality of the main character as you yourself choose, and (maybe the "best" part of all) having, sometimes intimate, relationships with a girl that you may also choose yourself.

Sure, it's awesome in-game, but i'm having trouble doing stuff like that in reality. It probably has to do with the fact that i'm like, thirteen, which is like four or five years younger than your ordinary life sim game protagonist. Oh, plus, I lack a 'Courage' stat. Anyway, i'm kinda depressed. ;_;

I'm even starting to relate my personal life to these games, which kinda shows how low i've gone. Problem is, with life, you can't press the spacebar, save your game into a different slot, and start over if you make an unsatisfactory choice. A prime example of this is Photoshop Adventures. It's practically a life sim in itself, except i'm getting you guys to make the choices for me. (I'll get to making another post for that soon). How low can I possibly go with this stuff? I seriously need help.

This is how I approached tests:

Yeah, I have.
>Nah, I can't be bothered.

Eh, I apologise for the darkness of this post. I bet you all think i'm creepy now, huh? Oh well, to relieve increase the pain i'll go and hang out with virtual women. It's so great being me... Feel free to laugh or whatever.

Oh, i've scored already. ;_;
