On the brink of the New Year. Last post of '09!

Well, this is it. It's that time of year when the Earth completes another orbit around the Sun that we like to celebrate for some queer reason. I guess it's a time to look back at all the things that have happened over the year and think about how to better ourselves for the new year, making a fresh start.

365 days is a long, LONG time, possibly too long for me to remember every single thing I've achieved and lost, even with my memory of half a super-computer (my brother's being the other half), but I know I've still accomplished great things this year.

I've had a near-death experience (or at least an OH JESUS I'M FCKED experience) in a back garden swimming pool, I've pryed my flabby ass off the computers in F4 and started talking to people in school (although that ginger dude wasn't making it very easy) I've lost 11lbs since last year according to Wii Fit, I was verbally raped by a slavering retard minion summoned from the 9th circle of Hell to ask me which came first out of the egg and the chicken, and I watched as Miss Cox had a nervous breakdown when I told her that I didn't give half a barbecued camel foot about what I got for my Art exam grade and wanted to do what I wanted, rather than being ordered around by her and being forced to do my final piece TWICE because I hadn't "done a good smoke effect" or whatever her excuse was. Ah, it's been one hell of a 365-day planetary cycle. (That means year for those of you who don't speak technobabble.)

So, what's on the Awesome agenda for next year? Well, same old really. Lose some weight, get good grades, talk to people more, maybe get a girlfriend, and punch "Josh" in his stupid dumb face for setting that hellish maniac on me who I addressed in the last paragraph, among the rest of his legion of mindless Year 7-9 minions. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Ah, another thing to look to the future for is the release of some new vidjeo games! For 2010, StarCraft II after its half-year delay, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for Aaron and his crazy PS3 (crazily expensive, that is). I bet a whole bunch more of cool stuff is going to hit us next year, like Bioshock 2 and the like.

And for anyone else, I wish the best that the Fates can bring you for next year. Have a good New Year's Party, and don't get too boozed up and hurt yourself! It's so humiliating.

As for me, there's a Creme Egg sitting on my desk that is about to be imminently devoured. Oops, I already ate it. Way to kill the joke, Me.

Whatever, I'll just pretend I didn't and I'll just eat it again.

Here's to the new year! OM NOM NOM NOM

delicious.

Obligatory Christmas Post to keep the blog alive

SCHOOOOOOOOL'S OUT - FOR - CHRISTMAS!
SCHOOOOOOOOL'S OUT - FOR - TWO WEEKS!
MY SCHOOL'S - CLOSED DOWN, WITH - SNOWIIING...

Okay, enough Alice Cooper. It's Christmas, and the holy wards of Christmas spirit have driven away the evils of school for the time being. That, and Kathryn made a really cool snowman.

Well, what's been up? Nothing much as usual over here in my world, as I mostly made this blog to try and get into the habit of posting on this here blog on a regular basis, and keep you all informed on what mildy interesting topics I feel have to share with all of you, and to jump on the "HAY GUYS IN CASE YOU DIDENT NOTICE IT'S CHRISTMAS ETC ETC ETC" bandwagon, but I guess I could talk about my 6th form options and how something was meant to hapen today but Springwood had to freeze over like a total dumbass. That'll do.

So, I picked out my 6th form options and they would be Performing Arts, History and Media Studies. I have defected from dull and irrepressibly drab and awful Drama for the following reason, typed out to you in script form:

Ben: Oh man oh man oh man I can't decide between Drama and Performing Arts and I need this piece of paper in by next Thursday!

Ben's Inner Reason: Hold up tough guy. Why don't you review the details in the booklets?

Ben: WHOAH WHO THE HELL ARE YOU

Ben's Inner Reason: <-- Read that.

Ben: Oh. Hi, Ben's Inner Reason. Also, good idea.

(Ben reads through the Drama booklet, coloured in black and grey)

Ben: (reading) "Drama is a subject in which pupils can study Drama from a variety of views, such as" WAIT. (goes back a little and reads it again) "...in which pupils can, STUDY, Drama, in..."

(...pause...)

Ben: OH MY GOOOOD, SCREW THAT!

(throws Drama booklet at the wall. It explodes in a flash of magnificent colours like a fireworks display. It spells out Eat at Joe's)

Ben: Okay let's see what Performing Arts is all about.

(the Performing Arts booklet takes the form of an extremely buff dude made of gold)

Performing Arts: HAY. YOU DUNNO WHAT SUBJECT YOU WANNA PICK, FOO?!

Ben: Well yeah, but uh...

PA: NO WAIT, SHUT UP A SECOND AIGHT?

Ben: Uh, ok.

PA: YOU REMEMBER THAT PERFORMANCE YOU DID AT THE CORN EXCHANGE? WINTER'S TALE? BLEW EVERYONE'S SOCKS OFF? THAT YOU DIDN'T TELL NO-ONE ABOUT IT COS YOU WERE AN IGNORANT FATASS?!

Ben: yes.

PA: YOU SHOULD PICK ME AS A SUBJECT! THAT'S WHERE ALL THE ACTION IS! YOU DON'T GET NO WRITTEN WORK OR STUDYIN' OR ESSAYS OR NOTHIN'! YOU'RE JUST ACTIN' ON STAGE LIKE IN WINTER'S TALE, TEARIN SHIZ UP AN' STUFF!

Ben: Sounds good to me.

PA: DAAAMN RIGHT MY WHITE PERSON

Ben: Would you quit talking in all caps? My viewer's reading voices in their heads are screaming.

PA: Yeah ok, sorry.

Ben: But thanks for making my decision a lot easier anyhow.

PA: Salright.

(PA turns back into a booklet. Ben stares at him for a second then grins evilly. He takes PA and puts him in the paper shredder)

PA: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben: (relaxed and grinning to himself) This settles things.

(loud applause. Ben bows and goes to the podium to collect his Awesome Award)

Ben Stiller (applauding in the audience): He's earned it.

Tom Cruise (next to Ben Stiller in the audience): I'll say.

Bloody hell, that was vain. Anyhow, that's what I picked for my options. For anyone else running away with me, I must say you made an excellent choice and I look forward to seeing you in 6th Form! If not and you're stay with Drama, good luck anyway with all the long and drawn-out boring essays and studying of what I should have been doing on stage all this time. On that note, good luck also to everyone in rehearsals for Kinetic and the Siege! Too bad I couldn't be there with you, but I guess something's always in the way of something I want to be a part of. For example, a lack of cash gets in the way of me wanting to be a part of having a Playstation 3!

Ah, the demands of a simple man. Why are they never met?

Hello, Internet!

Welcome to my blog, feeble mortals! Now you are in MY realm and you are at my complete mercy! Mwahahahahaha!

On second thought, make yourselves at home. Those of you who show interest in my occasional day-to-day rantings about whatever I can rant about (you strange chaps) can view my vast digital inscriptions of rage-fuelled logical scrutiny here, since Facebook posts usually don't last long on the News Feed without being pushed down to page 50 under the oceans of "lol jedward", "OMG my weekend was so fun" and "Tarnation! I stubbed yonder little toenail against the savagery of my bathroom wall" comments about nothing in particular (no offence...) and so on and so forth till the end of eternity.

I'll also be posting some boredom-induced DrawPlus 8 Animations and other things, you know, whenever I feel the need that "oh good golly wowsers Ben this is the greatest thing in all of greatdom! You must show this to your pals on yonder Interweb and share the amusement for all to see!".

Now it's past my bedtime and I need to be sleeping right now. Just come here occasionally and witness the power of my eccentric ponderings herein. I'll most likely post updates on FasheBouk. Until then, Merry Almost Christmas and to all a good nights rest with which to be ready for those God damn Mock Exams!
