27th June 2011

Well... Fail @ my last post. I was trying out an app which obviously doesn't know the meaning of new lines. I'll edit that the next time I'm on a computer.

I've been watching loads of Yogscast minecraft videos the last few days. Hooked on them! And it's really made me want to take part in making a role play server. 

I think I prefer making and organising role playing than actually doing it. When Marko and I were organising the slothix/playwow ones it was really fun, but I was less enthusiastic about actually doing them! So I'd rather be someone helping out building and then being an "extra" to watch it all unfold and help it move on, than to fully take part in it when it gets going.

CBA writing much more. Time for bed! I'll end this with a couple of things from skype convos that made me giggle.

26th July 2011

Yesterday was fun. It took over 2 hours to get to Stamford because we went to Spalding to pick Emma up, then Cottesmore to get Aileen. In total Jade did 4-5 hours driving! She did very very well for a new driver! But yeah, once we got to Stamford I fell out of the car which highly amused Emma. I ought to tell her I've now got two lovely bruised knees! Then we had a quick visit to New Look before heading to the meadows for our picnic. The picnic itself wasn't very successful because Emma managed to sit on some wet grass and Jade managed to sit under a load of flies. Although, it was interesting watching a youth group play some weird games, but not so interesting spotting two separate kids going for a piss. After getting sick of the flies we got up to find somewhere else to sit and ended up heading towards a free bench.... Which had no seats. So after getting rid of the rubbish we started walking through the adjoining field just chatting and wandering through... When we decided to turn back and head to town in the hunt for ukuleles. We had seen one of the youth group guys playing one while having our picnic and while walking we said how cool it'd be if we all got one as they were only around £20. So yeah, we walked to the nearest music shop..... But they were £30+! Aileen then suggested Argos so that was our next destination. Argos had one pink and one natural ukulele left, so Jade bought the pink and Emma bought the natural. I am quite jealous because they look so cute and fun, but thinking about it.. I don't I'd ever really play with it! After that we went to Aileen's house for a while and then dropped Emma home then back to Peterborough. I was very tired when I got back because I didn't get much sleep and later in the evening I started getting a migraine. It took 4 hours for me to get to sleep, though! Today I'm feeling a little sore. My shoes are broken at the bottom so with all the walking yesterday it's hurt the bottom of my feet. And my head hurts a bit from last night. I also feel a bit meh. My laptop has been dead for over a week now and I'm waiting for the charger to arrive. It said it'd be here last Friday/Saturday so I'm slightly annoyed at that, especially as the laptop my brother gave me to use in the meantime doesn't even work properly. I don't know what to do with myself. I should really tidy my room and start sorting out packing but I just can't be bothered today. Meerrhhhhh...

It's always nice to know how successful your ex's life has been since you left it.

Anyway.... Went to the cinema on Tuesday with Jade, James M and my brother. We watched the final Harry Potter movie. Second time I've cried in the cinema now! It was a really good movie. The only thing I wasn't too happy about was the dismissal of deaths. Well, for the Deathly Hallows in general, they didn't focus enough on those that had died. I know there's a huge limit on time and what they can realistically fit into the movie(s) but I really don't think they handled it well. I don't want to give any spoilers away (not that I have anyone reading this for me to spoil anything for them anyway =/) but I just felt like they either mentioned the deaths, did a sad face and then carried on with the film with very little thought or reference back to that person... or they showed a small sad scene with some 'noooooo's, crying and hugging... and again, that was that. Nothing more said or done about it. Whereas when a certain little elf died... Okay, how could anyone NOT know Dobby dies? Everyone's made a fuss about it. Even I had and I hadn't seen part 1 until Monday!!.. but yeah, look at what a huge fuss has been made over that? And why? Because it was a huge thing in the film. They even had a little ceremony for him! But we didn't see anything like that for anyone else. Or any*thing* else. There's a certain other animal that I wish they'd have given a proper send off to. Although at the time it was a bit too dangerous. But she was so beautiful and loyal and brave and I don't feel like they honoured her properly in the film!

Kay shutting up now.

12th July 2011

This is going to be a long one.

Since my last exam, I went into college a couple of days later and spent the day with Luke. A majority of the day was spent in the same two seats, watching nigahiga on youtube and the Digimon movie. It was a very nice day and definitely a good end to a great college year.

Things went a little downhill from there, though. Many times I've had to cancel plans all due to issues at home. I've only been off two weeks now and I feel like I've done a years worth of arguing. But I did manage to go to the cinema with Jade, Emma and a few others last Tuesday and yesterday I spent most of the day at Lucy's house with her, Luke and Nic. I'll ramble on about that in a minute, though. First I'm gonna ramble on about Minecraft.

A few months ago a few of my old school friends started getting into minecraft and talking about it on facebook, and then started talking to me about it, and we said it'd be really cool to have a minecraft "party", where we go to someone's house and play together, making something big and epic. We then made it an event on facebook, and it started getting out of hand with loads of people being invited that we don't know in person and such. No one was really contributing towards planning, either, so in the end I deleted everyone I didn't want and kept it to the original group plus a couple of others. Miki offered his server and we voted on making it a 'do what you like as long as you don't piss anyone off' kind of server, and so from the 1st of July we've been making some pretty awesome things!













That's a snippet of what the server looks like after less than two weeks ;) oh and here's a video Luke made for the TARDIS:



On the topic of MC - a while ago I mentioned something super exciting which I couldn't really properly talk about, BUT NOW I CAN! And oh my gooshhh!

A few months ago I made the Portal weighted companion cube in MC, put a video on youtube about it, and then a lil while later I got a message from someone saying that they would like to have the map and if it was okay for it to be used to test out a program they were making to take things made in MC and print them off in 3D. I hate to admit that I was pretty skeptical, because they said they were from MIT and not to tell anyone about it. It wasn't that I doubted it was possible, I just didn't think that someone like me would be approached for a project like this. But yeah, few weeks ago they sent me a photo of my companion cube actually printed off in 3D and my mind was officially blown. OH MY GOSH! And now, here's the video!



But yeah, back to yesterday (...wait, wut?). To summarise: Nic went the very long way round walking to my house despite me giving her clear instructions; Luke was late... again; Lucy power biked half naked (well, the important parts were covered) through West Town; we were all very cool and completed a puzzle from a Mensa puzzle kit; we were even cooler and went through their question cards before realising we needed them for a cracks and ropes (snakes and ladders, essentially) game; There was a lot of throwing things...; Nic went to work and Luke, Lucy and I played maaannnyy games of cards... "before it rains".

PHOTOS!




That hat got around... and yes, that is a butterfly on Nic and carrots in Luke's ears.





OH GOD IT'S SO BRIGHT!





Ahhh forgot to mention that in the summary. There was a huge tickle attack although in the video it looks like Luke was just feeling up her boobs... hehe.

Told you this was gonna be a long one.
... Luke, don't you dare. ;)
