6:16 pm	Though I should probably post again. Not much to say, really... Lynth is going well--I'm into the third draft now, and have re-written the first six chapters. Only twenty five more to go... I'm planning for NaNo now, and that's going OK. It's an idea I've had in my brain for ages now, so I've already got the feel of it. (Comment on this)

1:04 pm	Started work on the third draft of Lynth a couple of days ago. Progress is slow. The third draft is going to have to be a very meticulous one--the second was mostly about fixing plot problems, this is about getting the right word choice, as well as fixing any problems and plot holes that still exist. I've been given a few things to think about as well--like, is there a slang word for non-human? And I've been told to use proper english in my narration, which means no contractions. I HATE this. It sounds stilted. Planning for NaNo now. It's going OK--I've got a couple of ideas for stories that I'm developing so that I can pick one when the time comes. One of the plot ideas is now complete and written down--it's a sci-fi type thing with clones and psychic powers, and an evil corporation. Hey, no one said a NaNo manuscript had to be original. My other plot idea--the one with the angels and the Dreamer that came from listening to too much Nightwish music--is coming along much more slowly; but then, it's a new idea. The sci-fi one's been stewing in my brain for about three years. I had a dream about Cluedo last night. A really, really complicated game of Cluedo that I was in. It was confusing and intreguing and is making me want to write a murder mystery. I've just come back from the orthodontist. I can go to wearing my retainer on alternate nights now--about bloody time.

9:34 pm	Hello again. ^_^; God, I last updated, like, ages ago. I've got to get into the habit of doing this regularly. I've been writing a novel recently; am very proud of it so far. I plan on getting it published. I created a website for it, if you wanna see. Address is http://www.lynth.co.uk Yes, I got my own domain name. How cool is that, huh? My webcomic died some time ago, sadly. I finished the first issue, though. I've been getting interested in it again, though. I'm thinking about re-drawing it, since it was done so long ago I've improved my art style and the old stuff kind of sucks. (Comment on this)

12:42 pm	Spent much of yesterday evening/night and some of this morning watching Yugioh subs. Yeah, the ones I got way back at Christmas. Still haven't finished the Noa ark. Turn 10 is screwed up in a big way. After the One Turn Kill ep it stops playing, and if I try to access later ones it just pushes me back to one of the ones from the start of the disk, like Kaiba vs the Eighth Dueler or whatever. So I miss the start of the Noa thing. And I missed it in the dub on tv too. *glares* Still, what I've seen of the storyline ain't bad. Confusing as heck, but not bad. So Honda got possessed. (As my brother Kieran said, "There's a lot of that in Yugioh.") He had all of the Big Five living in his brain--that is officially a worse case of schizophrenia that Yugi, Bakura and Malik combined. And Honda himself has been turned into a robot monkey. A perverted robot monkey. Shizuka should know better than to keep cuddling him--she knows he just wants to molest her breasts. Stupid girl. He's funny as a monkey tho, even tho I kinda wish he'd just died in that duel when he got his body stolen. He's so totally useless, esp. in the dub--plus deaths are very dramatic and cool (In fiction, anyway. What? Stop looking at me like that!) And Noa has just summoned an ark. Seriously. Noa's ark jokes abound. Blah, I rant too much about Yugioh. My computer has a new harddrive now. The old one was like 3 gigabytes (although I had a second one as well, don't know how big it was--and it was faulty anyway). This new one is more like 20. I need to re-install the sims now, but I want to borrow the Double Delux edition from my friend first. I want Livin' It Up! I actually did borrow Double Delux, but it's missing disk one. I need that to install it! Stupid... Am all scared and anxious now. Read a fanfic earlier where I started thinking one of the characters was gonna get raped. They didn't, although one guy did force them to kiss them--'took their first kiss' as he put it--but it scared me. Am gonna have a bath and try and get it out of my head. Rape fics scare me, and I don't want anywhere near them--but I keep stumbling on them accidentally. Bad boo. Current Mood: anxious (Comment on this)

3:27 pm	Played Dungeons and Dragons for the first time yesterday. I would have posted this then, but was thwarted by Livejournal picking then to go into read only mode. We had fun, killing dwarves. I think we did pretty well for our first time, although my Dad (he was our DM) said that it's a mark of our newbie-ness that when faced with the problem of "What do we do when the money runs out?" our party's fighter suggested getting jobs on a farm. Dungeons and Dragons is very adrenelin pumping. You get actually scared about whether or not your chara is gonna die. And it's not even like a video game, when you can see it on a screen. It's all in your head. Was much, much fun. Also, posted last page of first issue of my online comic, Welcome To Cyberspace, on Sunday! Very happy about this. I'll probably take a break before starting on Issue Two. Gotta go now, am running late! Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Enya--Tempus Vernum (Comment on this)

9:56 pm	Well, we were at the Eden Project (big couple of bio-domes here in Cornwall, out at St. Austell). They have ice skating there now. We were skating--it was my first time, well cool. I didn't fall over once! My brother Kieran did, though. After he fell this one time, he landed on his right wrist--and his hand started swelling up. The first aid people there said that he should get an x-ray at hospital to check for a fracture. Well, like the idiots we are, we didn't go straight home--Kieran said that it didn't actually hurt all that much, & he was enjoying himself. We headed home later, and first the plan was to get home, drop me and Mum off and then take Kieran up to hospital. Unfortunatly, our car has something draining on the battery and an bad starter moter to boot. We broke down--fortunatly right near a garage. Around this time I kinda spontaniously started praying to every deity I know the name of. Finally (with the help of a mechanic) we got the car bump-started...then broke down at the next round-a-bout. We got the car pushed to the side of the road, and really fortunatly (Kieran's wrist was really starting to hurt by this time) the same mechanic shows up in his car! He normally goes straight home, he said, but he had to go to the shop. He offered us a lift to the hospital in his car. We took the chance (fortunatly he didn't turn out to be a murderer or anything... funnily enough that thought didn't even occur to me). Kieran's arm is in a plaster cast now--they won't know if it's actually fractured until they take another x-ray in 10 days, so best be on the safe side--and our car is parked by the side of the road in Long Rock. I was all figety in the hospital waiting room--stress, Mum said. I feel really proud of Kieran for being so brave and not moaning about the pain. I feel really proud of Mum for keeping focused the whole drive on using hr willpower to keep the car moving, and for pushing the car when it broke down. I feel really proud of Dad for standing around in the rain trying to jump-star the car. I feel so greatful to the mechanic--I'm convinced he is an angel incarnated on earth. And I feel proud of myself for praying. Somehow I feel like that helped. Current Mood: drained Current Music: The Eagles--Hotel California (Comment on this)

9:51 pm	OK, remember ages ago I said I'd save up for a set of Yugioh subtitle dvds? Well, I ordered them just over a week ago and today they finally came!!! They're well good. I got set 2--eps 33-62. So far I've watched them up to part two of the whole Dungeon Dice Monsters thing. The japanese theme tune is brilliant, methinks. Does anyone know where I can find an MP3?

2:21 pm	Got back DAYS ago, just been far too lazy to update. ^_^; Ah well. Had been going to go see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today (with my brother and some friends) but it was sold out. Should have expected that. I didn't even know it had come out until today... Current Mood: disappointed Current Music: Splashdown--Karma Slave (Comment on this)

9:07 pm	Camping, comic and Nationstates Going camping on saturday!! Yay ^_^! (Can't think why I didn't mention it before; we've been planning it for months.) Will be away for a week, come back next saturday. I'll update this again when I get back (provided our train doesn't get delayed to high heaven like it did LAST TIME). Updated my comic today. Finally. We're on page 11 now, yay! Actually finished the page YESTERDAY but didn't have time to post. Go figure. In other news, been playing Nationstates somewhat obsessivly. I guess it just appeals to the little power hungry lunatic in me to be in control of my own country. ^_^ Actually I'm obsessivly hoping I'll be able to keep myself from turning my country into a dictatorship. Adress to the website is www.nationstates.net for those of you who are interested. My nation's called The People's Republic of Mangatopia. (My brother has one too--called The Rogue Nation of The Masstterful Kieran. Go figure 'bout the name.) Neways, see you soon. For obvious reasons don't expect a post between Saturday 15th and Saturday 22nd (tho I may post on the 22nd after all, depends whether or not my train gets delayed like it did LAST TIME). If I do, thru some miricle(sp?) get internet access during my camping trip, I'll tell you all about it! See ya! Current Mood: ^_^ Current Music: Evanessence--Everybody's Fool (Comment on this)

7:53 pm	^_^ I found a website that sells Yugioh subtitle dvd's--region 0 ones! ^_^ (Region 0's work with any region, right? That's what the website said.) I'd been worried that I wouldn't be able to find any subtitles that there would be any point in my ordering--me living in england, and not being able to read any language but english worth squat, and most english-speaking sites being american ones, and all. The website, for anyone wondering, is www.animeniacs.com I'm going to save up for subtitle DVD's set number 2 (episodes 33-62, apparently). The only tv station I get that showed the Yugioh DUB cancelled it before it got as far as most of those (it stopped after the Rebecca episodes... grrr...) and I wanna confirm all the spoilers I've read. AND I WANNA SEE THE BATTLE CITY EPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really ought to go work on my comic now.. I'll do it later, because I'm a lazy moron. In the mean time, I'll prolly go stare at the picture of the cover of the Yugioh subtitle dvd I want. See ya! ^_^ Current Mood: excited Current Music: Yu-Gi-Oh!

6:31 pm	Music to Duel By indeed... Been downloading a bunch of Mp3 files from Yugioh: Music to duel by. I've wanted that cd for ages now but can't find it anywhere and really wanted to listen to it, so I just downloaded mp3's instead. Unfortunatly some of them are just samples--and Yugioh music is surprisingly hard to find. Not to mention, it takes ages to download. *glares* Does anyone know where to find a mp3 or wav file of the Yugioh Theme?

7:26 pm	Spirited Away FINALLY got to see Spirited Away yesterday. I've been wanting to see it for ages, yesterday Dad finally rented the video for me! Yay! It's a really good film too. The background music kicks ass. And the whole thing is very atmospheric--I was feeling creeped out by it at some parts, kinda sad at others, and when Chihiro remembers Haku's true name, I was laughing cos it was such a happy scene! :D Current Mood: happy Current Music: REM--Losing My Religion (Comment on this)

9:20 pm	Couple of days ago, my Dad started showing me how to reformat the hard drive on my computer. (Maybe that will sort out Dreamweaver [a website-design program that I use because I know no more than the most basic HTML] and it's screwy image display, allow my computer to play solitaire without performing an illegal operation before the game has even started ect.) That part surprisingly quick and easy, the long part will be reinstalling everything. Fortunatly, I don't really use much appart from the internet, dreamweaver, Paint Shop Pro, Microsoft Word, and sometimes games like The Sims, Monkey Island (3 or 4, need an Atari Emulator for the 1st one) or Powerboat racing. And of course the stuff my brother installs so he can have network games with my dad's computer (even tho he has his own now). But I don't really care about that unless it starts eating my harddrive. Well, I've spent a whole paragraph ranting about trivial stuff that should only take a couple of lines, and which I should have posted two days ago. I say it's time to shut up now.

8:06 pm	I am obsessively obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh! It's true, I am. (What follows is a rant about Yugioh. If you haven't the slightest clue what I'm on about, you don't have to read.) I saw 3 Yugioh episodes today. Unfortunatly (and annoyingly) the only TV channel I can watch it on only started showing it recently, and therefore is still in the Duelist Kingdom arc (this is what happens when you live in england and don't get cable OR sattelite OR freeview). Well, not really. The Duelist Kingdom arc just finished today! :D I'll tell you something, that Aftermath episode kicks ass. I feel really sorry for Pegasus tho. Yami Bakura is scary. The tarot reading thing was cool tho. The whole flashback thing was great--Pegasus was unbelievably kawaii as a little kid! Squee! It was neat that we got to see Shadi appear too. He has a really, REALLY wierd accent in the dub O.o; If you think about it, between Yami Bakura and the part of the flashback with Shadi in it, that episode sorta pushes the bounderies of dubbed-for-little-kids violence. I also saw those episodes that show the duel with Rebecca. I can see why everyone else on the net calls her annoying. I was getting to the part where I was half laughing at her little girl-ness, half thinking, "If she says 'Isn't that right, Teddy?' one more time I am going to kick the freaking television!" and half being very freaked out with the fact that she says things like "Yay!" and "Squee!" so much. I do that. How many halfs was that? Current Mood: chipper Current Music: REM--Bad Day (Comment on this)

9:14 pm	I guess this is the reason I called this thing Pretty Empty Mind... My eyes feel sticky... I've been staring at the computer screen waaaaayy too long. Uploaded a page of my webcomic today. Feel HAPPY as I actually got this page done early for once (it's usually about a week late O.o). Also feel kinda nervous about this comic still, as it's just starting out (only on page eight -_-). I tried out shading the pages with a graphite pencil... unfortunatly that doesn't scan so well. Think I'll stick to computer coloring, for the most part. Not only are my eyes sticky, I'm yawning. I need to sleep. Current Mood: drained Current Music: REM--Losing My Religion (Comment on this)
