Plymouth

Yeah...I'm updating this a little late really. I went to Plymouth on Sunday 7th Dec because I wanted to sell some DVDs that I didn't want to take with me to the USA. I didn't get a whole lot for it though. Only £21. Then again, I wasn't expecting to even get that much. How sad is that? I really need alot of money, and soon. No idea where to get it from though.

Got Mom to take me to Trago when we were returning from Plymouth. Yeah...anyone who knows of Trago will know that it's not a great place, but Mom did tell me that there were some jobs going there, so I wanted to see if I could apply for any. There were a few on the board out there, however, apparently they're all filled. So, why didn't they remove them from the board? Why get someone's hopes up like that? I don't know where the hell to get a job!

I don't think I have any food to eat during the week now because Mom and all went out shopping today instead of tomorrow, so I wasn't told and couldn't go out with them to get food to eat...so I'm gonna most likely starve for the week now.

I'm currently cold as hell and feeling sick...I have no idea why it's so cold in the house. I'm starting to think someone has turned off all the heating in the house. It's THAT cold.

Breeze's Hideout - Banned?

Looks like I've been banned from the chatroom I've always enjoyed going to. I don't even know why! All I can do at the moment is wait until Laura logs into MSN so I can ask her if she can ask Cloud, or maybe Breeze why I've been banned from the room. I don't THINK I've done anything wrong in there. Unless someone like Charlie has now gotten an admin status, then I guess I've been banned for insulting them. Haha.

I'm not having a good time lately really. I was meant to have a share of like £22 from Betterware this week, but had an extra £7 because my grandfather gave me extra. I spent about £8 of the £29 I should've had, and now I have nothing. Someone has taken the other £21! No-one is going to own up to it either. Asked Mom this morning if she knows where it went, but she doesn't no. No-one is telling. I need out of here and into the USA as soon as possible. I'm tired of all the bullshit lies and people taking my stuff them not returning it and saying they don't have it!

We have Dyson here again until Thursday. Not long, but he's here again.

Kilminorth Farm's new owner?

Technically, it doesn't have a new owner...yet. What I found out today is that Gary may be losing the place to the bank because he hasn't been paying the bills to the place at all. I wonder if he thought he was above paying that kinda thing? Anyway, it means that tomorrow I won't be going with Mom to work out there because he can't afford to pay anyone. My brother was talking to me about it when he got home. Said that tomorrow, he's going to bring all his tools and things home with him because they're probably not going to be needed out there anymore soon.

I find it kind of amusing that Gary is going to lose the place to the bank if he doesn't pay the bills because he's not only losing the business, but also the place where he lives. But, on the downside, Mom and my brother will be losing their jobs. That's not so funny at all. My brother is going to end up doing the same as me...looking for a job. Mom, luckily, has a job offer on the table from a gay couple (Kyle and Mark) working as a cleaner for them. I dunno the guys personally, but they seem to be great people from what I've heard from others. I think it's sweet that they've offered Mom a job if Kilminorth Farm goes belly-up from the moron of an owner not paying the bills for the place. I seriously feel sorry for all the animals out there. There are a ton of wild cats (they can probably fend for themselves, but they're usually happy to see Mom come to feed them) who won't get fed in that way anymore. There are also ducks, black swans and geese out there who get fed by my brother. Their wings have been clipped so they can't fly, and they're kept in a fenced off area so they don't attack people who stay there. But, if it's over, those birds aren't going to get fed and unlike the cats, I don't think they can fend for themselves in the area they're contained in.

Also, what's going to happen to all the people who stay there on holidays? Will regulars be able to call up and stay there anymore? Will it get shut down? What's gonna happen to the place if Gary loses it?

Cleaning

Had a bit of a busy day today really. I had to go down to my grandfather's house at 9:00 where I had to meet my uncle to help him with something in Liskeard. All I really had to do was stand on the bottom of the ladder to make sure it wouldn't fall over and all. Health & Safety in the UK requires things like that, and since I don't really have a job currently, I helped him out. I got £10 out of it. Yeah...it's not much, but at least it's something. I knew it wouldn't be much since I only had to stand on the bottom of a ladder to support it while he was cleaning out the guttering. I got home about 11:00 from that.

Found out from my uncle that Grahame's Facebook had been deleted, and it's not known why. I've had the same kinda thing happen with YouTube. My old account was deleted for no known reason. Grahame made a Facebook account for a dog as a laugh, and he has 20 or so friends on it. Haha.

At about 13:00, I went out again to go shopping with Mom. I needed to mail something to Sharlet too. I'm not going to say what because it's a surprise for her, and I don't want the surprise ruined for her. Hopefully she'll get it some time next week.

At about 17:15, I went out yet again to deliver some Betterware stuff to people. That took a bit because one order never had any address on it. Luckily, I was right about which house it went to. Chempaka.

Was in pain for a little while after 18:30ish because it felt like something was in my eye, but I couldn't seem to locate it. Luckily, it's not hurting anymore. I was worried that I wasn't gonna be able to make it feel better and that I was gonna have to use just 1 eye to do everything sight wise. That would've sucked major ass!

At the moment, I'm worried about Sharlet. She was trying to sort out her mother's computer, and it seems like the monitor on it has blown like the monitor on her brother's computer. She's blaming herself for it all. I know it's not her fault though. I really wish I could have the money to get to the USA now so I could get going and make her feel better. I really need to work 2 months to get the money for the ticket and some money to spend there. However, I think maybe what I need to do is just get the money for the ticket and do there as soon as I have it. I'll still have a little money to spend...just not as much as I would if I worked for 2 months. Basically, I have just 1 month to find a job, then 1 month working, then off to the USA. I just hope I can find one as soon as possible!

Sparkpea down...

I wonder what has happened to Sparkpea. It's been down for a while now. I think it went down around 19:00 while I was playing around in Breeze's Hideout. However, it appeared to have frozen, so I clicked refresh and then I got a message saying that there was a database error. Now, it's not loading anything at all. How long will it be down?

Dangerous...scary.

I went into Plymouth today at about 10am. It was a scary journey up there really. This car with a matress tied to the top of it pulled out right in front of my brother without really looking if anything was coming. He had to hit the brakes and the car slid around a little as he did. It scared the hell out of me. It was made worse after that because the matress looked like it was going to come right off of the top of the car. Brother managed to overtake him after a couple of minutes and I called the guy a fucking wanker. I seriously hope that no-one got into an accident because of that fucking jerk.

Main reason I was going to Plymouth was because I wanted to find a point 'n' click game from the DS called Secret Files:Tunguska. But, I couldn't locate it. Well, actually, I could. It was in Game, in the Preowned section. But, it was like £23. I didn't really have enough for that because there was another couple of games I wanted to get too. Hotel Dusk:Room 215 and Another Code:Two Memories. I'll have to get Secret Files:Tunguska off of Amazon.

There was some sort of carnival happening in Plymouth. It made it kind of hard to move around really. But I'd have to say it was more amazing looking than the carnival that was in Looe this year. That one was a major disappointment, especially since I wanted it to be brilliant since it'll be the last one I'd see before moving to the USA. Ah well. What can you do?

When I got home, Mom told my that my uncle, Gary, had called saying that he'll need my help some time this week. I'm supposedly getting paid for helping him, so I don't mind. It might be fun!

Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Season 2 of Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles started last night on Virgin 1 in the UK. I'm sure that in the USA, the season has started much earlier than in the UK, or has even finished. It's great that the show is still amazing. I think that recently, the only 2 new TV shows that I've actually loved watching are Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Heroes. However, I'm totally lost on Heroes now and haven't been watching it. Why? Because I missed basically all of season 2, so I haven't bothered with season 3 because I'd only be totally lost on what is going on. What I really need to do is get ahold of the DVDs for season 2...and 3 if they're out and catch up that way. I'm not going to miss any of season 2 of Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles though.

A couple of days ago, after downloading Lure of the Temptress, an old point 'n' click game, I found out about a "new" point 'n' click game called Secret Files:Tunguska that was released on PC, but also on the DS. I want to try and get ahold of a copy of the DS version because I miss the old point 'n' click games like Monkey Island, Beneath A Steel Sky and more. I wonder if we can go to Plymouth again on Sunday. I hope so.

Igor

Posting about this a little late I think since I'd watched it on Sunday. Anyway, we went to Plymouth on Sunday because I wanted to see if I could get the movie "Armor of God", but found out that it's apparently not being produced on DVD anymore. It's kind of rediculous though. The sequel, "Operation Condor" is still being produced on DVD. So, why not continue the 1st as well. I'll probably have to get it used off of Amazon at some time.

Igor was a funny movie. Definately worth watching if you haven't seen it!

Tomorrow will be a good day. We have Dyson coming down. I'm not 100% sure how long we have him for though.

No job...again

This is just typical for me really. Mom told me on...Thursday that there was a job going at the SPAR over the west side of town. I asked her to get me an application form yesterday. But guess what? She didn't. Now the job is gone. That's another one down the drain. Why is it she'll see a job that I can do, yet doesn't bother to get me an application form, and by the time I get around to it a day after it's gone? She wants me to get a job...will see one I can do, and doesn't bother to get me a form so I can get it! Looks like I'll have to look around and hope another one comes up soon. I'll also have to tell Mom that when she sees one I can do to get a form RIGHT AWAY! There's no point in her whining about me not having a job when she herself isn't getting me the forms when she sees one advertised, is it?

Anyway, next Saturday and the Saturday after, I'll be going out to work again with Mom, so that's a little more money toward getting to the USA to be with my beautiful girl. Not much though. I need a job badly cuz I wanna get there fast! Before Christmas if I can really. I'd love to spend Christmas with her. Also, I'm sure Mom will be glad that I'm gone because she won't have to be spending anymore money on me. She'll only have to put up with my sister then. I'll be happy as hell once I'm away from here. I'm tired of the fighting and arguing from sister, Bryn and all.

Rest In Peace...Guinea pig...

I'm not feeling good at all right now. My sister has 3 guinea pigs...well, 2 now since my brother and I had to mercy kill one of them. It was really weak, on it's side, struggling to stand. Barely breathing, no real fur left on it's body. It was so depressing to look at it. My brother and I were both looking at it...neither of us really wanting to kill it. But, it had to be done. It was suffering far too much. So, we did it together really. I picked it up, and he killed it. I feel sick from doing it now though...sick and depressed!

I really think petshops should have my sister on like a ban list. Not let her buy ANY pets since she never looks after them after a month or 2. They're just left to starve and die...it's fucking unfair on the animals!

Fun in Breeze's Hideout

Just a funny piece of chat from Breeze's Hideout

Deliriousend0 : LIKIda?
mmmbrookeone : signs everywhere...please curb your dog
Deliriousend0 : ExCUSe me?
Deliriousend0 : she said her DOG
Deliriousend0 : and if what ur implying is that I"M a DOG
TidanLikida : Yeah. Aren't you her dog?
mmmbrookeone : but we live in country...so we good...
Deliriousend0 : FUCK U

Funniest thing about it is that not long after, someone was talking about PMT, and Delirious said that I had it because I called him a dog. I was laughing my ass off because he was the one getting pissed over my little insult. I was amused really.

Blackadder - Is it coming back?

I still haven't received a reply from Kelly Ogden of the Dollyrots for the other e-mails I've sent her. I wonder if I've annoyed her with the stuff. If I haven't, then I assume she's just a little too busy to reply currently. If she isn't busy, then I guess trying to make friends with her is out of the question now, which would really suck because she seems like a great person to be friends with.

Hopefully, my brother will be buying some fireworks from Morrisons tomorrow since they're going on sale. I can't remember what it was, but I think the offer was like buy this one bunch for £44.89 (I know that's not 100% correct) and get a bunch for about £55 absolutely free, which would be awesome to watch on November 5^th!

I've been out already to collect Betterware catalogs, although I didn't really pick up that many at all because everyone seems to have forgotten to put them out. I did put I'd collect them in the afternoon, so I figured everyone would've put them out by 13:00. But they didn't. I'm most likely going to have to go back out at about 17:00 to see if anyone else has put theirs out. Well, now I know what to tell Mom if she tells me to go out earlier than 17:00 to get the books. People don't seem to put them out until around then. It's so stupid. I wanted to get them all now before all the kids got out of school. I hate getting "messages" for my brother from Bryn's friends...messages like "Tell Kitson that he's gay. Hahahaha." So fucking moronic!

For the past couple of days, I've been watching Blackadder. Well, Blackadder II, Blackadder the Third and Blackadder Goes Forth. I wasn't all that keen on the first series of Blackadder because he seemed to have too much in common with Mr Bean. Alot of people didn't really like the series as much as the 3 sequel series. I did read about a new series (not been made) that involved Blackadder having a rock band in about the 1960s that I liked the sound of. But, it may never be made. There is supposed to be another series coming in 2010 according to an interview with Tony Robinson, who played Baldrick over the series. Who knows for sure if that will ever happen.

Neil's mistake

I called Neil at about 20:30 yesterday just to tell him he calculated it all wrong. Not long after, he called back admitting that he was wrong and will return the £20 in the morning. I do agree with what Mom told me though. From now on, I should keep a record of how much I actually have to owe him. If he charges more, then I'll refuse to pay it. So, I'll just keep a record weekly.

Neil...the cheat.

For fuck sake. Ok. I'm being ripped off by Neil. Why? I only had to owe him like £54, but for some reason, he charged me £70.34. Makes me wonder how many times he's ripped me off now. I had to borrow £20 off of mom to make up the other £20ish...and then I decided I'd look for the form on how much I actually had to owe him because I could've sworn I didn't have to owe him £70. I was right too. If he won't give me the money back, then I refuse to give him £20 of what I owe him next week.

In fact, what I should do is refuse to pay him ANY of the money next week because who knows how many times he's ripped me off now. I should keep the whole £87.30 next week...£69.80 of which is what I should be paying him. Why should I owe him fucking shit if he's ripping me off. Yeah, the cash is actually for Betterware, but after this, I should make him pay the £69.80 to them because I have no idea how many times I've been ripped off by that fucking asshole now!

The Dollyrots

I'm so surprised that I got a reply from Kelly of The Dollyrots to a question I asked yesterday. Well, I'm sure I could've really looked for the information on Wikipedia like she did, but it was so cool to be able to actually talk with someone from a great band. I e-mailed her again asking more things that I was curious about. I'd just love to be able to make friends with her and her band. Shar and I are wanting to start a band, and it would be perfect if I could make friends from other bands so we can get a kinda head-start like thing. Anyway, here are the messages so far. Just want to keep a record of this. Hehe.

From: Tidan
To: Kelly

Hey there, Kelz!

Anyway, I just have really simple question that I would really love to know the answer to. Loving all your songs by the way. However, Brand New Key...I've noticed the tune in the chorus is very similar to a song by The Wurzels called Combine Havester. Is this a pure coinsidence, or do you happen to like The Wurzels? Or is it a kinda test to see how many people would notice a slight similarity? Haha.

Keep up the great work, and look forward to your reply!

Tidan.

From: Kelly
To: Tidan

Ha that's cool! Brand New Key is actually cover... the original is by Melanie Safka, she's a cool old hippie. The song was one of my favorite discoveries in my adolescence. Maybe The Wurzels like her too?
Thanks for the note! I'm going to go find Combine Harvester and have a listen.

Ah HA! Just found this on Wikipedia:

In 1976, the Wurzels released "The Combine Harvester", a re-work of the song "Brand New Key", by Melanie, which became a UK hit, topping the charts for 2 weeks.

There we go!

I need a job...

I really do need a job badly. Why? Well, for one, I just wanna get out of the UK as soon as I fucking can. I'm tired of being treated like shit. Mom's having a go at me for not finding work yet...as if I'm not fucking trying! She's worried because we're low on money thanks to my sister and when she crashed Mom's car into the wall. Now, we're all suffering because of it. But, guess whose getting into most of the trouble? ME! WHY THE FUCK IS IT ME? I didn't do fucking shit to the car. Look, I can understand why Mom would need some help with cash because of it, but she doesn't need to pick on me all the fucking time, does she? I'm sick of it.

Some friends have asked if my family and all would miss me when I move to the USA to be with Sharlet. The answer...no. No way in hell would they. They'll probably throw a party as soon as I'm gone...and fine if they wanna...I don't care. I know when I'm needed and when I'm not. I'm definately not needed here by anyone anymore. I can't wait until I'm in the USA and I've left this life behind for a better one. Hoping that it'll be very soon. If only there was a real simple way to get £1000. That's the minimum I need to get me out of the UK. £1000+

Wispa's are back!!!

I was told about this on Friday by my brother. The chocolate bars, Wispa, are back by popular demand. But, it makes me wonder...for how long? They were back not too long ago as a limited edition thing, and I was sad to see them go. Exstatic now they back...but is it for good, or are they going to disappear yet again after a short comeback?

To be honest, when he told me on Friday, I thought he was talking about some TV show and I was sat there thinking "Whisper? What the hell? I've never seen that show..." then I thought about the chocolate and that's when it hit me. Haha.

So much for that

So much for this so called targetting of the seagull menace in Looe. This is a news story from back in 2003. They haven't done it at all. Look...if you'd like the problem sorted, just had me a gun. I can fix it in no time at all! Hehe.

Looe targets seagull menace

Anyway, they have posted countless signs around to tourists saying not to feed the seagulls, and look where that has gotten the town...no where. Tourists ignore it totally, then wonder why seagulls attack them for food. Well, fucking quit it ya morons!

Damaged car: repaired...but...

Yeah...I think we might be in a little trouble here. Mom is low on cash now because of my sister crashing Mom's car into that wall not too long ago. She had to pay out like £950...ish (I forgot what she said exactly) and is now low on cash because of that. It means that everyone in this house is going to need to help her just a little. Means I need to find a job urgently, and not just for one reason anymore...before, I only needed one to get my ass to America to be with the girl I love. But now, I also need it to prevent us from living on the streets. FUCK! What the hell am I going to do? I have no idea what to do. I'm going to have to go into town tomorrow and look around for work. If not tomorrow, then I'll get my brother to drop me off in town on Saturday instead of taking me right home and look around then. GOD DAMN MY FUCKING SISTER! Because of her fucking stupidity, we might be totally fucked. I was in a good mood until now. Now, I'm worried. Main reason being that the few times I have looked around town for a job, there's been nothing. Of course, that sucked because I wanna get to the USA...now it sucks cuz if I don't find one...

I need money badly. Where am I gonna get it?

Several agents?

This happened yesterday, I just forgot to write about it. Anyway, I have a Betterware order here without an orderform, so I have no idea where I'm supposed to deliver it to, so I went to St Winnows thinking maybe it was a house there. I tried 1, no-one was there (they've ordered things before), then 6. This is where I found out about "Several Agents"...There was a Betterware catalog sitting outside the door of 6 with a note...

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY MORE CATALOGUE'S WE SEEM TO HAVE THEM EVERY WEEK (I THINK YOU HAVE SEVERAL AGENTS ON THIS ROAD). HAVE TOLD ALL THE SAME THING. I HAVE YOUR TELEPHONE NO IF I REQUIRE ANYTHING.
MANY THANKS

Is this why I seem to be getting less orders as time goes on? Because some fuckers are stealing my customer!? FOR FUCK SAKE! Can't people let me have my own stuff instead of stealing everything from me!? Who the fuck is it? And why are they all "moving in on my turf" so to say?

Repo! The Genetic Opera

I only found out about this movie today because of Sharlet linking me to a video of it on YouTube. Anyway, I found out that this movie, which is said to be Rocky Horror meets Bladerunner (2 brilliant movies) is only getting a limited release within the USA. However, the more people talk about it, the more places it seems to be getting released. So, what really needs to happen is that we need to get as many people talking about it as possible so it'll have a world-wide release. From what I've seen, it looks like an excellent movie, definately worth being released everywhere. Hell, if they don't, they are going to lose out on a hell of alot of cash, seriously! Take a look for yourselves. Repo! The Genetic Opera

Anyway, onto Wicca now and a good point that was made about it by someone I've been talking to about it. A bunch of Christians seem to think that Wicca is evil. Wicca is a nature-based religion. According to Christians, who created nature and all? That's right, their God. So, if Wicca is evil, what does that say about the Christian God? It would make him the most evil being that exists. So, think about what you're saying before you mouth off about a religion.

Newquay Zoo photos...

I really need to find out if library computers have scanners on them. Why? Well, last Sunday, we went out to Newquay Zoo, and the battery in my digital camcorder died on me while I was taking photos. So, I had to buy a disposable camera. The one problem with those is that there is no zoom, and it's impossible to tell if the photos are any good until the film gets developed...and it turns out that they were rubbish. Alot of them were too dark. What I really need is a scanner to put them on the computer so that I can use computer software to lighten up the images. These are no good to show anyone. The ones on my digital camcorder were alright though.

What have I done?

I think I've upset Sharlet beyond belief yesterday...well, earlier. She was asking that if she were to kill herself (which she wont), would I just move on? I got upset, and she left upset...maybe a little angry. She's not talking to me at all now it seems. Have I blown things getting upset when she asked me not to get upset? What can I do? I...I hope she's ok. I dunno what the hell I can do! FUCK! I need her...I need her more than anything. God dammit!

Plymouth Aquarium

Went to Plymouth Aquarium again today. We went last Sunday too, but I didn't have my camcorder with me. I asked Mom yesterday if we could go again today while we were at work. That was before my sister crashed Mom's car. After that crash, I thought that Mom would refuse to take us up there. Anyway, I have about 30 minutes of video from the aquarium, as well as a few photos before my camera's battery ran out of power. The pictures are on my computer. The video isn't yet because I need drivers to allow me to upload the videos from the camera.

Does anyone know where I can get an installation driver for a Samsung VP-DC163 Digital Camcorder? I'm looking currently, but so far have found nothing. It would be nice if someone knew where I could get the driver for free. I reckon I may have a disc for it somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment, and it would be faster if I could download it from somewhere. Any help would be appreciated because I'd really like to put the video up onto YouTube. Sure, it may not be the most interesting video ever, but it would be nice to let some friends see it, as well as anyone who is interested in that kind of thing.

I just remembered it's Dad's birthday today too. DAMN! I forgot to get him a card and send it off...I was going to get one yesterday, but after that crash, it slipped my mind. I guess I could send one tomorrow, but it would be late then. But, better late than never, right? I could include a note with it telling him about the crash with Mom's car. Wonder how annoyed he'd be with my sister if he found out. He didn't pay any of the money toward the car, so that kind of annoyance wouldn't be what he'd get. I did tell my cousin, Grahame about it yesterday on Facebook. Never really thought about it when I sent it. If Mom doesn't want grandfather knowing about it, I'll have to hope that Grahame doesn't mention it. But, if he does, there's not much you can really do about it other than to tell him the truth. The person who really needs to tell grandfather about it all though should be my sister because she's the one who'd done it all...

Crash...

My sister crashed Mom's car today when we were out at work. She started it up, and I told her not to do it because I knew she'd do something stupid if she did. Anyway, not long after, her friends came out from cleaning, and I got out of the car to allow them to get in. That's when she drove it...right into a wall. She claims she was hitting the brake, however, there's a huge dip where one of the tires was spinning. She obviously stepped on the wrong thing. Then she couldn't get it to reverse and was asking me for help. I don't know anything about cars really because I'm not allowed to drive due to epilepsy. Why the hell would I care?

Now Mom is pissed. Bryn and I told Mom straight after. No idea if she's going to tell grandfather or not. He did pay half of the money for the car. If he finds out, he's going to go mental. Somehow, I don't think Mom will tell him about it though. I reckon if she does, she'll get into trouble as well as my sister, saying she shouldn't have let my sister drive. Honestly though, she wasn't there. Only her friends and I were there to witness it. You'd have thought me telling her not to do it, as well as the fact that NO-ONE would get in the car if she was going to drive it is a big enough hint NOT to do it.

Just have to hope Mom gets it repaired soon. If she's not going to tell grandfather, then everytime she has to go down to see him, she'll have to drive the car right around the green to park with the non-damaged side facing his house. He's going to suspect something is wrong if she starts doing that alot though. I think at that point, I'll probably have to defend Mom because she's definately nothing to do with it. The only person involved was my sister and her stupidity.

Mom can't claim the insurance on it either because my sister isn't insured to drive her car. She doesn't even have a licence! I reckon it's going to cost her quite a bit to get it repaired. We'll have to hope it doesn't get written off like her old car. Her old car wasn't even damaged too much. About as much as this new car is now. The only difference between the old cars damage and the new cars damage is the fact that the old car had a dent above the front-left wheel.

Landslide?

I haven't seen this, but supposedly one of the hotels over West Looe was involved in a landslide, and half of the building has fallen down. I would like to see what it's like over there. But, I bet you're not even allowed to get close enough to really look. I know if I could, I'd go down and take a few pictures.

Grahame, my cousin, is single again. Stephanie, his girlfriend broke up with him with basically the same reason as his previous girlfriend, Michelle. She told him "I care for you, but I don't love you anymore". Maybe not those words exactly, but along those lines. He's coming back to Looe today. No idea how long he's staying in Looe. Maybe he'll live here again, or maybe he'll live elsewhere in Cornwall, depending on where St Austell Brewery relocates him.

Plymouth Aquarium

I went to the Plymouth Aquarium today. It was great! It's just ashame that I didn't take my digital camcorder today. It would've been great to have filmed some of the things out there. Especially these 2 kids that were there. I had one standing next to me, Adam, who at first said "Fish." to me, and I replied "Yeah.". After that, he was pointing to every fish saying "Shark." in this creepy voice. It was cute, but hilariously funny too. There were no actual sharks in that display tank. Sharks were in a different tank thing. I really wish I could've just filmed it. Another little kid, who I don't know the name of, saw the turtle swimming away, and commented with "He's got a big bum!". If we go there again, I'm going to take my camcorder with me. I was to film the things, and hopefully film some hilarious things that kids say.

Anyway, the main reason I went into Plymouth was to get some new jeans since I only had 2 pairs that fit anymore, and they were getting alot of holes in. I badly needed new pairs. Got 4 new pairs now. I missed Emma though. Mom said that Emma Baxter, an old friend from school, was up there. I turned around to look, but couldn't see her. I would've gone to have talked to her for a bit if I had seen her. Ah well. Not much I can really do about it. I'll message her on Facebook in a moment to see if she really was in Plymouth, or see if it was someone who just looked like her.

Nothing else really happened today.

...24 hours...

I'm going to have been awake for 24 hours in about an hour from now.

Anyway, yesterday, I was woken up by my sister because we were going to Plymouth. That was around 11:30. The main reason we went up there was because my brother wanted to buy a guide for Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core. He said that you can only get some of the missions by talking to people on the game. But, he doesn't want to run around talking to all the NPCs on the game. Unfortunately for him, there was no guide for it in ANY of the video game stores. So, I had to order it for him from Amazon. He gave me the cash for it to pay into the bank. I found the game "The World Ends With You" while I was out there. I've heard it's supposed to be a great game, so I bought it. I'm currently on Chapter 1:Day 4. It's been a great game so far! I also bought "Phantasy Star Universe:Ambition of the Illuminus". I was kind of sceptical about buying it to begin with because I was thinking that it might've just been an expansion pack for the Network Mode of the original Phantasy Star Universe. Luckily, there's a Story Mode on the game too. If it was just an expansion pack, I could've just sold it on Amazon for a little more than I bought it for.

I would love to have the ability to read peoples' thoughts at will. Why? Well, while we were in Plymouth, this guy came up to me and my brother, and asked if any of us had at least 50p so he could get some food. As he was talking, I noticed he was starting to sweat...like he was nervous or scared. I just turned to my brother saying "Do you have any change, because I don't." and walked away a little. My brother looked through his pockets, and gave this guy £2. I would've loved to have stepped away, and read his mind. See what he was really wanting the money for. Was it really for food, or was he trying to scam people out of cash to buy something he really wanted? I'll never know.

I'm not going to be able to sleep today until after 18:00 really. I still have Betterware stuff to deliver to people who ordered some items. I need to get rid of them before tomorrow because Neil comes to collect the cash for the orders. After that, I'm free to get to get some sleep. I'm going to be awake for 31-33 hours today.

I'm experiencing alot of odd things really. Last time I was as tired as I am right this moment, I saw a little girl standing in my bedroom doorway. I constantly get shivers down my spine. Earlier, I heard a dog barking inside the house. But, we don't have a dog! No-one had a TV on loud enough for it to be the source of it, and I don't think there are any animal shows on at the time I heard it. There are also no dogs around outside, yet I swear I heard a bark. It makes me wonder if the spirit girl has a dog with her and that's the bark I heard. I really want to know how to contact this girl so I could find out what she wants. This all probably sounds like crap to people. I don't care really if people do think it's rediculous. I know what I've seen, and heard. If people don't believe in the paranormal, it's their choice. I'm not telling people to believe in it all.

Carnival 2008

This year, the Carnival in town was really disappointing. I was really hoping to see Bodmin's Beast Burning entry. But, they weren't there. I wonder if they're having a rest from that thing this year, or if they've given up on it all because of Sheila's School of Dancing. I think I took like...4 pictures. One of them was of the statue of Nelson. I'll have to upload them later.

I got my feet wet on the way to Nelson's statue. I took the stupid route. There was a dip in the path, and the tide was in, so that dip had water in and out. I tried to run across, but got soaked. After, I noticed the railings running over the dip and thought "Fuck. I could've climbed across that dip using the railing." Now I have to dry my shoes.

I really wanted this Carnival to be great because it'll be the last one I'll really see. I'll be in the US soon. What a disappointment...

Kilminorth Farm for sale...

Mike was right afterall. I guess Mom asked about where Mike saw it, and got the name of the company he listed it with for sale. Gary, when he bought it, only paid £2 million for it. At that time, it was worth it. The main house wasn't ruined with carpets it would've been better without. Now, he's trying to sell it for £3.5 million (or nearest offer). Hopefully, no-one is going to pay that much for it because it's sort of been ruined. I bet he's mainly trying to sell it because he's gotten himself into debt, and wants out of it fast by unloading it onto someone else...I feel sorry for anyone who pays that much for it because you might have alot more to pay off in debts and stuff to do with the place.

Kilminorth Farm for sale?

I'm not really sure if this is true or not. According to my grandfather, Mike (the previous owner of this farm) said that Kilminorth Farm was up for sale. So far, I haven't been able to find any proof of this on the Internet, which is apparently where Mike found out about it. If it's true, it's going to be like the paper shop just down the road from me. It's not going to sell for the amount Gary is asking for. He apparently is selling to for £3 million, when he only bought it for about £2 million. Just like the paper shop. Been ruined and is selling for more than it was bought for. So far, I haven't been able to find proof of it. Maybe Mike was mistaken. Either that, or it's very well hidden!

Currently, the weather here is complete and utter shit. Not very nice for the Carnival week that is happening here. Yesterday, there was supposed to be a sandcastle building contest for kids. It was too wet for that apparently, but kids turned up in waterproof clothing for it. However, it was cancelled. The awful thing about it was that there was no-one from the...people who run this Carnival week there to say that it was cancelled or nothing. You'd think someone would be there to tell the kids, even if they were sitting in a car to tell them. There is enough shelter around to sit under so the person wouldn't get wet.

Hopefully, the weather will be better on Saturday. It'll be awful if the whole float thing was cancelled. I really wanna see what the Bodmin Beast Burning people (if they turn up) will make this year. Not going to happen if it's too wet and cancelled.

Betterware Treasure Hunt

I'm more than sure I'm not going to win anything in this thing. Neil was asking if I got the letter about it. I did, so he asked me to pick a number between 1 and 500. I chose 218 (noted just in case). But, to qualify for this thing, I have to make like £200+ in orders. I'm sure that's not going to happen...not without a bit of luck.

Floral Dance 2008

Yeah. This is a yearly thing. This is going to be the last year I'm going to see any of this stuff because I'll be in the US next year. Hopefully, Saturday's Carnival will be good. I would like to leave knowing that the last one I see will be brilliant. But, going by the trend since 2005, it probably won't be that great. The reason behind it all is Sheila's School of Dancing. They never really put ANY effort into their stuff. Basically they just decorate with a couple of ribbons, and that's it. They always seem to win too. It's not fair on anyone at all. Especially people who put in weeks of effort into their stuff. They really need to get new judges for this stuff because Sheila's School of Dancing doesn't deserve to win at all. Ban them from the Carnival, and maybe everyone will probably come back!

Anyway, I didn't really go into town to watch it. I was looking around for a job I could apply for. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything. So, on Thursday, I'll look around in Liskeard for something. Mom can always drive me to Liskeard if I find something there. I wouldn't wanna get the train there or anything. They're always late, or never stop anywhere near the main town it seems.

Saturday, I'm going to take my digital camera with me, like always, to take pictures of the floats. I might take one of "Sheila's School of Dancing" too, just to show people how fucking shit they really are. They don't deserve to win...ever! I'm also going to take a picture of Nelson's statue. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but I keep forgetting to take my camera with me. I'll definately have it on Saturday, so that's when I'll get a picture of it.

PASSPORT!!!

YES! I got it. After only 2 days too! The receptionist at the place in St Austell said that the time it takes to receive depends on how many people are applying for passports. 2 days would suggest that hardly anyone is applying for passports. After that interview, I was so scared that I wasn't going to get my passport. But, I'm so excited! I GOT IT! WOOHOO!

All that's left now is to get a job, get the money, and get my ass to the US! Won't be too long until I'm with my beautiful little kitten!

Passport interview...

I am so not looking forward to this now. I attended it after having to take a LONG detour because of some traffic accident that had happened on the way there. Luckily, we were there way before the appointment. I had no idea that the interview would be as hard as it was. I'm sure I've messed up on a bunch of questions. I just pray that the few I messed up on for sure aren't going to affect it.

Some questions I messed up on for sure was Dad's birthplace (I have no clue. Not even Mom knew.), Tim's age (I said 50s...hopefully I wasn't off by too much.), Dad's current address (he's moved so much, I don't know what his address is for sure anymore.)...and when Mom and Dad's wedding was (How should I know?).

I know everything else was ok...but will those few things affect whether I get the passport or not? I've been told it should arrive in 4-10 days, and that if it doesn't I should call their advice line. Hopefully, it will turn up. I really don't wanna hear that I've failed the interview because that would mean I'd need another £80 to apply for it again. Then I'll have to ask Tim for his age. Ask Mom when the wedding was. Ask Dad for his address...and somehow try to remember it. Also, I'd have to ask for his birthplace.

If anyone is in the UK and reads this, will you please let me know if that affects whether I get it or not? On Thursday, I'm going to ask for another passport application from the Post Office in Liskeard, just in case I have failed it and need to do it all again.

Please God...let me have passed. If I haven't, I have to do all this shit again. Another 6 weeks of waiting for the interview etc. It's really going to affect when I can get to the US if it happens. I wanna get to the US as soon as possible really.

Am I no better?

Sometimes I have to ask myself if I'm any better than certain people. Today, I was talking to my friend, Amber, about religions and how I found out that one of my friends is one of those people that I don't really like at all. She's one of those Christians that believe that if you DON'T follow Christianity, then you're going straight to Hell and all. It's one thing I hate about Christianity...the fact that there are a bunch that try to shove it down your throat and threatening you to believe what they believe else you're going to suffer an eternity of pain. So, I told her that that is the reason I don't follow that religion. But, she was saying that I was just as bad as those people. I'm not sure...am I?

Do not...by Bryn

I had a laugh at what my 8 year old brother bought home today. A tea stained sheet (to make it look like an old parchment) with alot of "Do not" rules on it. Alot of them I can't understand. This is what it kind of looks like...

1. Do not fight.
2. Do not steni.
3. Do not litter anywhere.
4. Do not dric brire.
5. Do not liye.
6. Do not cil.
7. Do not be grid.
8. Do not be gelis.
9. Do not be notiy.
10. Luryor nabl liyr fmliy.

Does anyone know what the hell most of that is most to say?

Respectful.

I know this is getting to get alot of "Gross!", "How could he do that!?" like stuff, but this is something I find really honorable to do. Today, my brother saved this young girl from too much harm when three seagulls started to attack her to get her food. Around here, seagulls are like that. They're not afraid to attack you for your lunch, or attack you for just merely walking by a house they're nesting on. I really hate it because I get attacked alot myself.

Anyway, the kids parents were clueless as to what to do about it (probably didn't want to also get attacked trying to defend her), and it seems like no-one else was going to step in a help this young child out, so that's when my brother stepped in. Stupidly, the seagulls wouldn't move, even as he approached. They got what they deserved because of that. He stomped on them, crushing them to death.

The child parents thanked him for that and bought him lunch because he was low on cash.

I'd love to know how other people can just walk on by and ignore something like that. Are people really that uncaring that they wouldn't help out a young child in danger? I know if I were there, I would've done the same thing for two reasons. First and most important reason would be to help out the child, and second reason is out of pure hatred after being attacked so many times myself.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I went to see the movie today, and I have to say it was brilliant! I don't care if people disagree with me. It's a very entertaining movie, and it was a lot of fun to watch. I'll definitely buy it when it's out on DVD.

Unfortunately, I only got about 3 hours sleep. I stayed up most of the night talking to my loveable little kitten! (My nickname for Sharlet)

Mom bought me a book called "The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones" which I'll read properly when I'm more awake. Currently, I'm thinking of climbing back into bed and getting some more sleep. I was looking at the journal when I was coming home in the car, but fell asleep for a little while. It just shows how tired I am. I don't think I'll be able to actually stay awake much longer. I need sleep.

So kitten, if you come online and read this, and I'm not on Paltalk or anything, it's probably because I'm still sleeping. Better to sleep now than to stay up and fall asleep on you while talking to you on Paltalk.

I didn't really get to look around Plymouth all that much. Honestly, I'm lucky I didn't fall asleep during the movie because I was real tired.

How?

I am so shocked by how my family manages to go though things so damn quickly...toilet roll being one of those things. We got a 12 pack of that on Thursday, and we're down to 2. How the HELL do you use 10 rolls in around 3-4 days? Do people really need to use THAT much in 4 days...seriously?

I got another of my favorite movie series on Thursday too. The Indiana Jones trilogy. I really want to see the new one too. I've seen some reviews of it saying it's crap and all, but I don't care. I want to watch it. I honestly never listen to reviews because they're only that person's opinion, and doesn't count for everyone. A movie that's crap to one person may be great to others. Ok...so sometimes reviews can be correct, but I never let reviews stop me from going to see something if I want to see them. Hehe. Does anyone really let a review stop them watching something they've always wanted to see?

Animal-Human Hybrid

What is the point in this? There's no proof to say that this wouldn't work, sure, but knowing scientists, there are going to be a couple of experiments in which they're going to use too much animal DNA, and create some monster. Like the wolf-man in movies. Is the wolf-man going to become a reality because of this stupid crap? Read the story below...

Aunt's Funeral

It's still about a couple more hours until the funeral, and already I'm pissed off with everything. The funeral starts at like...1pm, but apparently I have to wake up and get ready now! At 10:44am! How long do they think it takes to get dressed for 1pm? This is just ridiculous. I'm not getting dressed until about 12:30pm because else I'm going to be sitting here all dressed up and getting hot because it's another sunny day. I haven't had much sleep, and today is already pissing me off beyond belief. I have too much to do really. Get dressed in a suit (black at that...what a color to wear in the sun, huh?), and probably expected to wear a tie with that (well, they can forget it. I'm not going to wear one and risk passing out from a heat overload...). Then I have to collect the Betterware catalogs I delivered on Saturday morning...then wait around for my "boss" to collect the Betterware cash stuff (why can't they just tell the distributors like me have all the cash instead of 20%?)

Anyway, enough about that. Probably better to move on to better things and calm down before I explode. The thing is, I don't really have anything else to talk about.

But, I guess there is one thing. Sharlet. My current girlfriend. Currently, her and I are trying to get her here for like June/July (preferably June), and she's supposed to be getting like this $600 check thing from the government over there in the US, which was going to be helping get the ticket for her to come here. However, if I'm getting what she said correctly, she's not getting $600 and she may not be getting anything at all. Which is retarded. If it's true, then I need to think of a way to get...£300 on my end to transfer from my bank account to her. Why £300? Because £1 is approximately $2 (I know, it's just a rough estimate and £500 isn't going to be $1000, but it's pretty damn close I'm sure). However, it would be nice if someone...anyone had a suggestion with ways her and I can make extra cash to get her here faster. Please leave a comment with suggestions on how! I'd be very grateful for the help.

GTA 4

I had a bit of a laugh when I heard about this on Radio 1 (a UK radio station. I have no idea if people in other countries can pick up the channel). Anyway, apparently it's one of the fastest selling games of recent times, but it has a problem. A problem in which a lot of people can't get the game to run on the consoles. I've never been a fan of that series, so it was pretty funny to me!

I have a funeral to go to tomorrow. Tuesday is really gonna be a busy day for me because I have to attend the funeral, collect the Betterware catalogs I delivered, pay my "boss" the cash for Betterware etc...I'm not looking forward to tomorrow at all. Why? Because recently the weather has been really hot. Knowing Mom, she'll tell me I HAVE to wear a tie to it. But, there's no chance in hell that I'll wear one. The last thing I want is to pass out in the middle of the funeral. *rolls eyes*

Rest in peace

I don't really have much to say currently, but just as I was trying to sleep yesterday, Mom came up to tell me that my grandfather had called her telling her that my Aunt, Tony, had died. I can't remember how long ago Mom told me that Tony had got into hospital really ill, and someone was saying it might be better if she did pass on, but I didn't think she would that easily because unlike my grandmother, she was more of a fighter. My grandmother has basically given up after this stroke she had. She won't go out anywhere because she's scared people will start talking about her. But, it's not true. A lot of people miss seeing her, and can't because she's scared to see anyone but family.

Anyway, I didn't used to like Tony because she was a lil bossy, but for the past couple of years she's actually been alright, so it's kinda sad to know that she's gone now. She might not have always been the nicest person, but she wasn't that bad really...she was one of the first people I made quit smoking after breaking up her cigarettes a lot, until she realized she was wasting cash on nothing, which is basically true.

I have no idea when the funeral is, but that's like everyone currently. No-one seems to know when the funeral is.

I rule!

I'm no longer an admin in ATAI. Checked my e-mail to find that I'd been kicked off the team for 2 reason...

( Reasons )

Personally, I think I was just kicked off because of that e-mail I'd sent to Patty about trust and respect. Why? She was gone for a couple of days after I'd e-mailed her, and then yesterday she returned. Not surprisingly, I was off the team not long after. It's a little bit of an odd thing to be thrown off the team after she returned. Ok, I admit that I did keep open mic a little long at times. However, I always set up the games as quickly as I could manage. But, sometimes I had to wait to open mic to ask for readers because of people refusing. Sure, at that point I could've just had a DTL, but I really don't want to do that like straight after a previous DTL. It's nice to have a variety of games instead of constant DTLs.

There's no need to make up reasons like that. I don't see why they just can't admit that Patty didn't like what I said to her. I don't really give a shit if she liked it or not because she was abusive to everyone! She deserved it.

According to Willy when I was talking to him about the e-mail a couple of days ago no-one had been kicked off of the team for arguing with Patty. I guess I make it the first, and I'm not even upset about it. In-fact, I'm proud of it! Proud to know I'm the first admin who'd upset her enough to be removed from the team! I rule!!

Trust and respect?

Ok. Here's an e-mail I sent to Patty.

The reason for it? Well, last night, I was hosting the room, but my Pal crashed on me and it wouldn't reconnect. But, she doesn't believe me at all because I was able to play Word Steal. But, surely I'm not the only person online who has had this kind of thing happen...am I? I've spoken to some friends about it, and they've had it happen too. Anyway, I decided to talk to Patty about it in this reply to her e-mail.

( Trust and respect e-mail )
