Day 6784

Camden trips are always fun, Flash animations that won't export on the other hand are not.
So yes, yesterday I was off to London with a few friends, a couple were hungover and not feeling too great but aside from that ( and the mild rain ) It was good fun. One thing that can not be unseen is the detail of the male horses...Brain bleach needed muchly!  It turned out to be a wee bit more expensive than I'd hoped but ah well.

I got new poi also! Which was cool so hopefully will be using them more :3 That said... They are white, so... Yes aha.

Today I have been trying to make a flash animation. It is both relieving and annoying when you find a solution for a problem that you have literally spent hours trying to sort! Why couldn't I have thought of that earlier D: ? Ah well, I won't be having that problem again.

And also today, my boyfriend has started his first day at a weeks trial for a job. So, good luck to him :) Wonder how it went aha.

But yes Prickalo and Dewliet the tale of two unfortunate hedgehogs. I'm not entirely sure this will be an animation I'll be completing but we shall see. I'll be posting a link in the next couple of days, and if I don't then it shall probably never be finished.


A playthrough of the story - which shall probably make no sense to anyone other than myself but oh well. :L


- Sun slowly setting over a back garden, the words "Prickalo and Dewliet" Appear in old fashioned text off center on the screen.
- The camera Zoom in on a pile of leaves by the back door
- Lo and behold a hedge hog comes slowly out of the pile nervously hiding inside his little den each time one of the disturbed leaves from said pile fall to the ground.
- BUT THEN a shadow appears by the door and it begins to open, each time pushing a little further on the pile with more force as the person tries to open the door.
- The person emerges and looks around for what was blocking the door,  seeing nothing he pushes it wide open sending the poor hedgehog tumbling out into the garden.
- The hedgehog tries to hide but there is no where to blend into, soon a pair of gloved hands reach down and take him from his home, placing him in a box,  as the box lids close everything turns to darkness
- Looking through the hedgehogs eyes the new setting is revealed at first appearing blurry but after a few blinks the inside of a car is in clear view.
- We then view the hedgehog looking longingly out the window, the reflection of a city turning into woods going by.
- Zooming out we see the car travel onto a dirt track road, stop for a moment, then speed off with a cloud of dust, leaving behind a box,
- The hedgehog looks out of the box, and a small white butterfly will land on his nose, his eyes will blink a morse code message, and he will then blow the butterfly away ( Hint, this is a lotr ref)
- He closes his eyes and sleeps, dreaming off home, wear a hedgehog with a dew covered petal in her hair is frantically looking around, when she can't find her husband a single tear wells in her eye and falls
- As it falls the dream scene fades and the drop lands on the male hedgehog, he opens his eyes and looks to the sky to see rain clouds looming and the occasional rain drop heading down. And above the clouds a birds shadow coming closer
- The hedgehog looks for cover and runs to the nearest shelter, just as a birds claws swoop past his head he makes it into the "forest" ( bushes)
- The rain subsides and a glint catches his eyes in the darkness, as he goes towards it the light seeps through and a treasure trove of bugs glistening and shining appear, he leans towards them wanting to stop and feed, but as he pushes a leaf away ( that just happened to be there) He notices a rain drop on the leaf and has a flash of his wife's hair accessory and speeds on past to the next obstacle
- A lake in the middle of the path ( a big puddle )  he grabs a leaf in his mouth from a nearby plant, curls onto his back and using the leaf as a sail and his body as a boat drifts across to the other side.
- Finally after trekking up a large muddy hill he makes it up, now covered in dirt he has to cross the road in front of him, it's getting dark and the car headlights startle him as he starts crossing the road ( Car won't see him till last minute because he's all muddy) , he gets knocked and rolls all the way to the other side, where he lies motionless. But not dead just dazed.
- Finally he awakens by a small ray of moonlight that falls on him, making it back into the suburbs near his house a cat appears and he goes all ninja/kung fu arms, then just as the cats paw comes down he curls back up into a ball all spiked up, the cat runs away, slightly limping what with the spiked paw and all.
- he continues running towards his home, passes some flowers, stops and goes back and takes one in his mouth, then goes under a fence hole and into the garden, then through a flower pot into a small opening in the leaves. ( his home) He drops the flower to the ground and looks around.
- there is no female hedgehog there D: Nuuuu
- Rewinds time back to when the female hedgehog has just cried her tear, then hands loom down and put her into a box, she goes off into the car on the same journey, but its darker now, and as the car swerves she sees a hedge hog get hit, and roll and to her eyes die.
- as she is put in the box in the field, everything turns to silhouette and she grabs a spike from her back and just as she's plunged it through her chest ( to kill herself ) the camera pans up to show the moon.

Then end.

Day 6778

Good day? Bad day?
Average to good. Been shopping, more things for uni! And I got a new hat and earmuffs :3 So kinda hoping it's a cold winter so I can make good use of them. For once my room is really tidy, because all of my stuff is in unorganised boxes down stairs aha.  Surrey reading challenge is well under way also I have 3 books left to read and then I'm done! I've been thinking about what I can spend the university money on already aha. Games I think are the main thing, aside from any things I'll need for the  course and all that jazz aha.

Games I want to own and play / complete ect. Dishonored, Bioshock infinite, fable 3, sims 4, Far cry 3, the last of us, final fantasy versus 13, Level 80 GW, The last remnant.  

Health - 8/10 I've had this ratty headache for the past couple of days, very irritating! And I feel soooo tired all the time. I do nothing I feel tired, I do stuff I feel tired. Perhaps I was a sloth in a past life.

Work vs Play
- Work
1) Nothing :L
-Play
1) Shopping
2) Finished the book thief, my days that's a depressing ending.

Thing of today :

I've been listening to this a lot recently so sure why not. I'll share it with you non existent people :L


UNIVERSITY IN 11 DAYS O.O also 11 days till I'm 6789 days old :L

Day 6772

High tea, tea, and a long gone trip by the sea. Perhaps even a tiny bit of university...


Boyfriends grandma's birthday the other day and we went to an ascot place to have high tea. And I must say  it was delicious <3 perhaps not the tea ( I choose coconut) Which was mostly an aftertaste of coconut but otherwise was just warm water, but they had the most adorable and tasty little sandwiches <3 and little scones and little cakes. I think I would rather like to have a high tea party on my 19th :L Perhaps make everyone dress up as an alice and wonderland character aha.

Then still on the subject of tea my mum got a whole TON OF IT O.O from freecycle. So it's all for free, and there are so many random flavours aha, most are loose leaf tea so that shall be interesting but yes it's going to be interesting trying those :L

And I realise I haven't made a post or even mentioned it, but before the trip away with boyfriends family, myself and my best female friend went to the seaside for a couple of days on a camping trip. It was genuinely so much fun and out of all my friends I think she is my closest female one that I've had since... Well forever. Don't get me wrong I've had female friends in the past and still have numerous ones but never that close, or we end up falling out with in a month or two.  Probably more to do with me than anything but yeah....ANYWAY was an awesome trip with marshmallows, sun and sea <3  and being read to aha :3 Yay for the book thief.

University wise I think I've figured out what I'm most worried about, it's not so much the people that I will meet but the people I may not get to see, or if my boyfriend breaks up with me, or if I simply lose touch with friends.... As we will all be starting uni and... Hmm yes well.... Whatever will be will be?

Day 6768

Two posts in one day? And not lists! What is this madness?!

A place online I used to hang out at a lot is a chat called Impurus. Then I kinda... Left. Now I don't really talk to anyone from there, save imma and that's normally only about TtR stuff...Not that I regret leaving per say and until recently I haven't been back, though I still have it on my favorites tab and visit every now and again. Being an anon can have its perks, aha.

But um yeah, they do RP tournaments called breaking point and they can be fun to read live. Though often the responses can take hours and they happen when I'm asleep what with different time zones and all. SO I shall be posting some of my fav lines from the tournament in here so I can find them some point in the future... Or something. ( Most will be from Imma as he's such a good writer) ( or all of them... )

"A grin crept over his face, his red eyes shimmering.
My, you seem rather edgy. I hope you're not nervous.
Raising his sword in a diagonal fashion, the sheath dispersed into black cinders and exposed the straight blade as it ignited with red fire.-
I always allow my opponent the first move. Consider me the black chess piece, and you the white." - Imma

“It’s been so long since I’ve fought someone using a scutum. The make-up is different, but I’m sure the fighting principles are the same. I bet I knew some stern Roman who could’ve taught you how to use one properly, but alas, I probably scorched him and his entire legion to the ground. Have you ever seen a man screaming to get out of his armour as it dripped hot down his body? Not pleasant.” - Imma

Immaculus had fought a great deal of warriors in his long life: some faster than him, some smarter, some reckless, but no matter what class of fighter he faced, he couldn’t remember the last time one of them willingly entered his aura’s three metre parameter. 

“Oh dear…” - Imma

“Ever seen a boy burn an ant under a magnifying glass? Well, you’re right under my lens.”        - Imma

 -He watched as Immaculus’ arm moved to release what was likely a wave of fire judging by the energy building up in the blade. Fast – very fast – but not enough. Isaac swung his clenched left fist forward in a simple straight, a sphere of wind rushing into the centre of the flames, picking up sand from below as it moved to form a track from where the energy had moved. The sand, gathering in the ball of intense air, turned to glass as it passed into the heat that rolled off of the flames; creating a football-sized globule of molten glass.- - Zen  

Day 6768

I got new clothes! Not that I need any more, but these were ridiculously cheap, aha. (Very pretty also.) Another pair of heels that I'm totally going to wear so much... Because I go out and do things that need heals oh so often....Please note the heavily laden sarcasm in that sentence again they aren't something of a need definitely a want.  Minor details aside.

But yeah new clothes, no migraines it's all going rather well I think.


New story started, she could go work for her half brother? Or uncle or something to look after his kids, one will be an older guy possibly older or the same age, but also a young kid who she would be keeping care of// being a maid in return for her keep. Then when she hears about this brilliant opportunity to not only rule but have money she leaps at the chance. Thus her dead parents are an easy excuse and the older boy will have an easy romance time thing along side... 'cause that's not cliche at all.... Hmmm well o.o It's a start. May stick with the current idea but just re draw it.... Or something O.o

Still need to start packing things for uni... Tidy my room... Do something with my messy hair.


But I shall probably just play gw whilst listening to an audio track.

On another note someone showed me this game http://orteil.dashnet.org/experiments/cookie/ the idea is to make lots of cookies o.o..... lots of them O.O and yeah o.o

Yay for no migraines o.o just to put that in again...

Day 6765

Perhaps one of the more frustrating things about planning what to bring for university is not being sure about what is already provided... The booklets do say the basics but I wish I'd looked round the halls or could find a photo to know what to bring!

Oh well, it's still a fair way aways and what's the worst that can happen.
I wonder what my teachers will be like...

Mediocre - Tells
Good - Explain
Superior - Demonstrates
Great - Inspires

- William Arthur Ward

I'm not sure if any of my teachers have been particularly inspirational, or if they have I've forgotten them, though my past media teachers were definitely in the good to superior category.

On another note I'm thinking of entering another competition. The rules say it has to be under 3 mins and everything you film has to be filmed with a phone.   You are allowed to edit on anything and add sound of any kind so long as you have permission... But yes. Whilst this all sounds well and good I'm not entirely sure what I will do...
