  1. I have it as well,in a "those were the days!"way.Hell,I even miss my tiring PE classes! I suppose it has something to do with this feeling of routine and apathy I´ve had for a year or so.I´ve never considered whether Digimon or Dragon Ball were actually good,I just enjoy(ed)the show(s).On the other hand,I tend to be subjective as they have been a part of my early years in this world.

     

    Something similar happens with music,yeah.For example,I always say that my favourite band is System Of A Down,but I haven´t listened to them since...I can´t even remember a date! As with those series,I never thought that "Toxicity" were a masterpiece.I just kept on listening to it over and over and over and over...because I considered the tracks fit all my moods.Now I can´t be arsed to feel like listening to it.Something similar happens with Muse.There was a time in which I used to be a truly hardcore fan.I even fancied Matt.Sure,I still think they´re awesome,but I can´t rate their new albums over 7.It makes me feel sad,but what can I do? I wouldn´t like to force myself to love something I can´t enjoy anymore.But I would keep my stuff,as they mean so much to me.I still keep those badly recorded tapes with Slipknot´s first albums on them,partially because I still think they are good and partially because I´m attached to the memories .I will never be in Primary School again.

    I´m proud of your drawings as well! Personally,I quite like the Tennant one.

  2. I´m not a liar either,but I noticed that I wouldn´t go far if I said I was my age.I felt something similar the first time I saw Muse,but the other way round:I was the youngest of them all.I tend to have that "I don´t belong here"feeling around most of the times,and I suspect I´m missing out a lot because of it...

    Believe it or not,right now I´m listening to Limp Bizkit...in tears.They used to be my favourite band when I was eleven,along with Slipknot and Linkin Park until I got hooked on SOAD and Fred showed he was a tool.But they were my partners in crime,so to say.They were with me in the same way Muse or Radiohead are.Or maybe nostalgia has magnified their image.Come on,I didn´t even know them at their best! But here I am,forcing me not to jump around the room.No matter how my taste change,I´m afraid that I´ll always think of them while listening to "Mic Check".

  3. Hey,that´s something :p I buy a children drawing magazine now and then due to their guides. I realised I have to lie about my age if I want to win the contests they host.

    I´ve slept rather well tonight,but I woke up sooner than the usual.I thought I´d have enough time to buy some stuff (namely music magazines) but my father asked me whether I wanted to go with him to buy my compulsory books.I accepted,but I told him I wanted to look for the "easy" books first.It took me ages and we couldn´t go to the store.

     

    This "new flu" (I´d call it "new pneumonia")is affecting Ukraine and their neighbours (did I say Czech?My fault...)and it´s really happening.Let the WHO doctors(pun,pun,pun!)talk: http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_11_03/en/index.html

    I have to say I´m not too keen on Elton John,but I do know he has composed good pop and rock stuff.And that "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" cover is one of my guilty pleasures.I remember my mother used to think it was a Muse song as I´d listen to it every time it was on the radio.

    It depends on how fast it is treated.The next 24 hours are truly important.My grandmother (my mother´s mother)was quickly treated,and now she can have a normal life,whereas my now deceased grandmother (my father´s mother)didn´t recover from the brain damage,especially her speech.

  4. Whoa! I´m happy for you,really. See?Your talent is aknowledged.As for the copyright issue,I´m sure you´ll find a way to sort it out.

    I feel better today.If any,a bit tired-but it´s understandable,as it´s nearly 4 am.So today I´ll sleep tight hopefully.Damn,I like to sleep for hours and have interesting dreams.

     

    I don´t want to have a vaccine either,partially because I smell a rat and partially because I know of people who have had it and they say it´s not so terrible.What scares me is that new Czech flu which melts the lungs.They said Elton John got it,but now he´s better,or so I´ve heard.And you can´t imagine him dying now,can you?

    An ictus is a brain stroke which is caused for a lack of brain blood or something like that.It might lead to paralysis,hemiplegia or death.

  5. For the record,my parents,who were passing by,also liked your drawings.Have you considered to illustrate your own stories? They´re superb.As well as your rhymes ;)

    It sucks indeed.Last night I woke up trembling again.I thought I´d had a good day,but as I type this I feel as if my face blood wasn´t being pumped correctly in my face.My father,who has just returned from work,has laughed at my ramblings,but he has added we could go to the doctor tomorrow if I´m still worried.He´s not talking bullshit:some days ago he had a nervous break while working,and I had to go with him to the hospital.the following morning.It´s a twisted situation:I´m too scared to sleep,but I need it.And...I don´t wake up in a merry way.

     

    I just can´t watch medicine-related stuff on TV because my mind goes wild.I somehow like gore movies,but I shriek at the sight of needles.I´m not too concerned when it comes to talk about death,but thinking of going through a long and painful agony in life while your mind does know what´s going on...

    I used to think that certain diseases are only suffered by "old people" until I heard of the case of a girl who had had a face paralysis.So now I´m scared shitless,as my grandmothers have suffered from an ictus.It runs in my family,it seems.

  6. Holy Rassilon of Gallifrey! Those drawings are truly amazing! I wish I could draw like that. :eek:

     

    I remember I prepared that speech because I liked the topic.Some time after,everyone thought I was going to take that as a career.I have to say I did think about it,but I prefer to write for a living.Nowadays I have Advertising Theory as a subject,and I like it.

    It was great to se how people I had been at class for years approached to be because they didn´t know I watched this series or I liked football.

    Is Toby Stephens the one you were talking about?

     

    I was truly shocked when I read what I had written so many years ago.I bet Matt hadn´t even thought about it at the time! Something similar happened the first time I listened to The Animals´cover of The House Of The Rising Sun.I thought it sounded pretty musey.Some time after this first listening I found out they had indeed covered it.Don´t ask me why,but the first time I listened to the HOTRS intro I thought it was a Dream Theater song.In fact,when Matt started singing,I thought for a second,"hey,I didin´t know Jeff Buckley sung in a Dream Theather song!"

     

    I don´t know whether I feel better or not.I still feel somehow bad.Every time I try to nap I wake up at 16:48 and I statrt trembling.Two hours later I´m okay.I´ve heard of the biologic clock,but this is ridiculous!

    Frankly,I don´t know why is this happening to me.Yes,I´m a hypochondriac.I can´t help thinking I might have a seizure or a face paralysis just because my cheek hurts.Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me...

  7. I understand.I reckon I´ll go on my own.Now that I am thiking about it,I have planned to see some movies,mostly re-releases,such as Toy Story in 3D and My Neighbour Totoro (in case I haven´t said it yet,I´m a Studio Ghibli fan).If I had had one more Secondary year,I´d say I would have got along with a bunch of people I started to know well in the final months,especially after a speech I did just for kicks-and it made me pass one subject-about advertising in media and sports.

    Speaking of seeing the future, I found my old diary when I was checking my old papers.It was full of ramblings about Muse´s awesomeness and how much I disliked BHAR.In a 2004 entry about covers I wrote something like "if they continue doing this,next thime they´ll cover Popcorn,or a Queen-esque cover of a Chopin Nocturne".I freaked out.

     

    I´m afraid this message will also be somehow short,but not due to the lack of things to say.Today I got up from a nap trembling.All dizzy and numb.After trying to forget about it I had to go to the doctor,who told me it was a stomach illness (how would he explain the numbness then?)and all I had to do was to eat "mild" foods and drink those sportsmen-related beverages.So I´ll miss True Blood,it seems...

    Hope I´ll feel better next time!

  8. Glad to read you´re having fun.How come you´ve watched New Moon? I thought it´d be premiered this month...I´ll watch it for the OST,you know ;)

  9. You should have told me what was being researched first! Still,it´s pretty embarrassing...

    I reckon my school was a family affair.No wonder it took me years to go to it.Apparently,I visited the headmaster room thrice your average bad student :p That was the reason why I was friends with the daughter of one of the main workers...I suppose it might be cool to have a parent working as a teacher,but I found it funny when I saw them as parents.There were days in which I had to go to the teachers´ room,so I had them talking about how this child had the flu or why that boy refused to go to sleep early.Hilarious.

     

    "Scary"might not be the word.Probably "disturbing"fits better.My father and his colleagues have to deal with drunk people ,suicidals...He can tell us everything,but I know he hides a lot.A month ago I had to look through his police reports,and I can tell you it wasn´t a kids´ game.

    Unfortunately,I´ve been too involved with medical stuff lately.Not for me,thanks goodness.It makes you think about your health and how important is.

    I reckon you´ve heard of this,haven´t you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behind_the_sofa

  10. Well,that changes the whole thing,but I still think it´s not a good thing to mix kids and research.Still,it can be done provided you´ll grasp something from the investigation.In my school some teachers were married to each other.And those who had kids would send them to the same school they worked in.And,well,it seems they used to be treated better.

    Due to my poor maths skills my teacher told me to get a teacher.She gave me a list with numbers.The one I got was a daughter of a teacher.Some time after I recalled how she used to win most of the school contests.

     

    Some days ago the line died right when I was about to take the train straight to my destiny,so I took the other way so as to use another line.Just by the time I stepped out of the train,it was announced that there were no more problems.I don´t care when it´s the other way round (as long as I can reach the next station),but there was a day everything was stopped due to an accident.Not only I had to walk for a long time (with an elder couple who had to go to the same place):when everything was sorted out I decided to take an alternative path which,taking me heaps to get home.In my case,I use a monthly pass,but I can go for free if my father´s with me,as he works there as part of the security group.He has told me stories which scared the hell out of me,and he has had some brawls,ending in the Court!

     

    In any case,good luck! I don´t know what´s it all about,but they should realise you´re doing your best,so a good reward should be on the go.I also tend to write dark stuff,mostly because I´m not a fan of straight"and they lived happily ever after"endings.For example,if I had written Breaking Dawn I would have killed someone.Not in a Torchwood way,though!

  11. I would never use familiar stuff in my clases if I were a teacher.Especially if I´m teaching my kids (that happened in my school a lot of times).By the way,today I got lost and I ended in a different class.I was so busy reading a book I didn´t notice the teacher wasn´t the one I have.I had to rush to my class,because Sod´s Law was working:today we have had the first exercise.And my teacher likes to start the class as soon as she can.

     

    Due to the fact that the line I take is the one which "dies" frequently,I´ve learnt to navigate through the whole map,knowing where to go in case the line is blocked.Thing is,if I have to go to the street and look for the next station I might as well get lost/not know what to do.I´ve even taken buses without knowing where would they take me to! That´s what happens when the station is rnext to my faculty.According to my MP4 player,from my classroom to the station there´s a Radiohead´s "Videotape".Yes,now we have a new measure :p

    I´ll be glad to see the comic.It sounds interesting to me,especially that "dark vibe".

  12. He studied his own son? What the Hell...?!Right now I´m trying to access the website (which I´ve tried to do since the classes started)and I´m unable to do it.When I click on the "help" button it keeps on redirecting me to the main page. :wtf: And they have not one but THREE different services.None of them work correctly.

    I enjoy my classes,especially Monday´s and Friday´s.But I already loathe Economy and some of them (partially).

    According to my mother,she quickly got tired of so much ice cream.She secretly tried to eat some bread in the bathroom...and ended bleeding.

    Believe it or not,I barely know my Uni surroundings as I go straight from the underground station to my faculty.Still,it´s such an experience,especially when it´s dark and I have to go along a green zone.It looks like your average "girl-gets-lost-in-the-woods" horror movie first half hour.Actually,someone filmed an thriller/horror movie there,at least partially.There are moments in which my mind goes wild as well.

    For the record:I didn´t play the videogame again.But...a Doctor Who-themed Sudoku?Isn´t that going too far as well? :p I hate it when things are...well,let´s use "uitmelken".it suits.I think there´s a similar expression here,which roughtly translated would be "milking the cow too much".

    I have to say I´ve barely listened to The Resistance,but those gig props look gorgeous.Shame they keep on playing the same songs over and over...And it seems that .Matt doesn´t play the New Born intro by himself..That´s what happens when you rely on screens too much.I´m all for astounding props,but I go to see Muse,not Le Cirque de Wiponzamontendweezzee.

  13. I told you I don´t really hate it.It´s just that I found it somehow dull,but I do know it´s interesting if if´t taught the right way,eg the way they´re teaching you.There was a moment in which I didn´t know what were we studying,and the book just added more confusion.

    Actually,that´s what I tried to say when I told you about throat operations..It seems that the English word for them is "tonsils".My mother had to go through that.Apparently,you can only eat ice creams for a while until you´re fine :p

    As a Final Fantasy fan,I´d say that a good example of Mary Sueness is all things Final Fantasy VII,especially all that fanservice prequels and spin offs.They´re all designed to have a cool appeal...and be milked like a cow,money wise.Compare my Sephy avatar with his latest incarnations,and you´ll see what I mean.

     

    So you visited Canary Wharf?! I´d love to do that as well! In a similar way,I read that Cardiff inhabitants used to go all WTF when they saw people rushing and jumping to "a certain"tile in Roald Dahl Plass.So you might not be so nuts....I´d do the same ;)

    Doctor Who related:I tried to play an old computer game (Attack Of The Daleks)I had no clue about where to go.I might give it a try tomorrow.

  14. We used to have psychologic tests every two years or so.They weren´t too difficult...which means that I used to get good ranks at Maths even if I kept on failing my exams :p

    Ugh,I hate Fonology.Well,not really.I just found it dull when I had to study it last year in Language.And the books were even more confusing,as they were absurdly dense.I´ll never be able to figure out how the hell I got such a high mark.Yesterday I tried to access to the website,which works like a forum,and it was in blank save from the common forum.If it´s like that,I´ll have to buy the lists.Yes,I´m tight-fisted.

    My throat has always been my weak point since I was a kid.Right now I have something (a muscle?a small bone?)which can be touched right in the bottom of the throat.Despite having had lots of infections I never had an operation.

     

    I was also eight when I wrote my first half-serious fiction story,The Flower.I can´t remember its plot,but I won the second prize in a competition.Oddly enough,I won a book whose drawings were made by a man which turned out to be one of my future teachers! My first fan fiction was Mary Sueness at its worst,and it was loosely based on Xena,The Warrior Princess.I never finished it.

    Hope you get well :)

  15. It´s weird,as dyslexia is often diagnosed when the patient is still a child.Continuing with the weirdness,it´s weird how I´m still in my "nothing´s happening"mode,as I haven´t looked for the books I have to read/study because the site teachers send it is down.

    Now I´m more worried about my slug cave,aka snotty nose.I don´t want to go sick...the Muse concert is nigh!

    I´m glad to see you´ve liked my text.Today I strubled across my first "free writing" pages,and they´re hideous,both in Grammar as in contents,highly influenced by gangsta,Slipknot and jealousy.

    I´ll try to head for the bed soon today,as I´m shattered.

  16. Well,I´ve started my classes,and they´re not going bad at all.Physically speaking,I have a sore throat,but that´s something which has happened to me since I was a kid.So you´re dyslexic?I had no clue.But I like the sonnet,really! :D

    I´ve been writing some stuff so as to "clean" my mind.It´s not literature at its best-furthermore,it is supposed to be raw stuff-.Here´s a sample:

     

    "Daydreaming is delusional.

    Dreams make us go forward.

     

    The teddy bear was the very incarnation of it all.No more,no less.All the wishes,the fondness towards impossible dreams were locked inside of it.That´s why it was pressed against the chest.This was often seen as a childish sign.Wandering around the corridors and the rooms,looking like a little child.No one would ever understand the symbolic roots of it all.A chimera,taking elements from here and there.If Northern Lights could be caressed,the hand would have felt the very same feeling of that fabric.

    That´s why it couldn´t be left behind so easily.No matter how hard this grown-up turned into a child tried."

     

    I´ve never been to London (or outside my country,for that matter).I´m sure you´ll have fun there!

  17. Hmmm,it seems we have similar tastes.Hi there.

  18. It wasn´t a "good thing"in my case.I could have looked for it some time before,but I was "too busy" wasting my time in different things (example: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/United_Resistance ),so I paid for it.Today has been the other way round:I could use the computer because I was the main actress in "Tetris.Live Action":I spent hours picking books and placing then in their right place.Yes,I played "Korobeiniki" so as to "get the proper vive".And my copy of The Resistance is now lost :(

     

    Still,I have a copy around.Overall,my opinion about the tracks have improved,except for "Guiding Light"and maybe "Resistance".I think it´s better than BHAR,but it sounds weak,too weak.And they keep on taking hints from everyone.,as if they were some musical Tarantinos.I expected something better (especially from Exogenesis),but hey,it´s the "Reload" after "Load" (or the "St.Anger"after "Reload"...I´m not a huge Metallica fan).Still,I like Exogenesis,especially "Overture".I´d say it´s my favourite song of the album,apart from USOE, "Unnatural Selection"and maybe "MK Ultra".Despite their un-musey sound I somehow like "I Belong to You..."and "Undisclosed Desires".

  19. Actually,that´s why I didn´t reply you yesterday.I spent some good hours choosing subjects...even if today I chose two at random.Actually,I realised I had chosen two subjects which are taught at the same hour in the same days.I had to ask (for the 65453th time,as I hadn´t filled in the papers at first)to be answered.Apart from the compulsory subjects(Economy,Advertising Theory,Literature...),I´ll do something about Arts and Communication in the European Union.By the way,I passed Writing! :happy:

     

    Don´t worry,I understood what you meant.And like you story.I think I´ve heard of a similar one,told from the point of view of the students.

    I suppose I can ask The Question:have you listened to The Resistance.If so,what do you think of it?

  20. I think I already told you that part in particular.The Dark Ocean in which Dagomon and those Divermon is a tribute to The Shadow Over Innsmouth.Actually,the Japanese chapter was named "The Call Of Dagomon"as one of the Lovecraft stories.The Call Of Chtulhu.

    If I have to tell you the truth,I really don´t care much about what to take.I´d like to choose some subjects in which the classes were right after the "fixed"ones due to my ways.Okay,I would lie if I told you I don´t care at all,but I have a method and I want to keep it.

  21. Well,nearly all the main characters of his books end either mad or dead,but what happens around them is really interesting.Their branches (or should I say "tentacles")have reached lots of different things,from Metallica to Digimon and Hellboy.And,well,I love weird monsters.

    Which annoys me is that this only happened to me with that teacher.Most of them only had to see you around and that´s (nearly)all.It didn´t happened with this teacher.They know we are all human.For example,my Language teacher is supposed to be an important man yet he listened to my explanation about an odd word with interest.

    I don´t know what will happen this year.I know I have to choose some extra subjects,but I don´t know how many or which ones.It´s a mess.Actually,we once were encouraged to attend to different classes,as long as they didn´t realise we hadn´t applied for them :p

  22. Yes,that´s it!Unlike The Doctor,which tends to spread a "don´t panic"sort of emotion (eat your heart out,Jasper!),The Master embodies dementia.But I have to say it´s something attractive,in a way.If you know have read any Lovecraft book,let me tell you that The Master is like a free access to The Necronomicon.And Mr.Simm portrays that feeling in the finest way.

     

    We used to read old texts for Literature.People used to stutter a lot due to its weirdness,but I could read those texts fluently.As a part of my Writing homework I had to write a short story which was set"far away".I chose a story "far away"...in time.It was about a monk which decided to translate old Latin books into the "novus languae",that is,the dialects which evolved into French,Italian,Spanish...I had to look for tales and poems written in the XIIth century so as to choose the proper words.It´s a shame he´ll never think about that efford.In order to pass the subject,we had to a)Do some homework in the best way possible and b)Answer CORRECTLY all the exam questions.I couldn´t answer one of them,thus making me fail,according to his absurd rules.I don´t care about taking it again,but that will make me miss another subject because of having the same timetable.All because of a question.Or,better said,two,as I failed the first exam because I did the same.

    By the way,which career have you taken?I think I´ll have a subject about Literature.

  23. Yup,a bit late :p

    I suppose I already told you that,but John Simm portrayed the Master in a wonderful way.I can´t say he´s loveable but he has some kind of appeal that makes him a good character.

    In other news,I have something I think I can´t say because it´s against the rules and I don´t want to be banned.And I´m afraid I´ve failed Writing again because I didn´t answer to the last question.It´s sickening.My father wanted to kill my teacher,and I cried for hours.With my head up high,as I had done my best.Next time I´ll tell you more about those issues,but now I have to wave goodbye...

  24. Well,I don´t think making those minor mistakes can do any harm.Actually,they can be "useful"as forgetting about it might lead to major problems in the future.

    I didn´t realise the "Vote Saxon"banners until I rewatched it fot the second time.The third season has (clearer)nods to Doctor Who.Even Gwen wonders about his reasons behind his actions,of the lack of them.

  25. Uni can be reeeeally confusing,trust me.Especially if you´re the one who only goes to the classroom and then goes out when the class is over.I can tell you the first day I met a girl who atened to my class...until she realised it wasn´t the one she was supposed to be in!

    I reckon Jack is polysexual:he likes men,women,aliens...I don´t think he likes Gwen,but it is obvious their bonds are strong,etc.

    Concerning Muse,I suppose it´s better not to wait for something huge.Look,I thought Undisclosed Desires would be crap...and I liked the preview! It´s just a "wait and see/listen to"thing.
