Lets see how much I can think to write... Well I'm in the middle of my final exam period right now, 3 down and 4 to go, I'm relatively pleased with how everything's going, considering how god damn lazy I am and all... I'm guessing the worst is over, but I still have my Religion exam to come, which I will probably suck at but who knows I might fluke it. Aside from that I need a new game... I've beaten GTA4 something like 14 times and MGS4, well I dunno, enough to get like 1.5 million points even after buying like every weapon you can. I started it on hard today just because I felt like putting the PS3 on the 42" in 1080i, looks pretty good. I have pre-ordered Fallout 3 so I'll be playing that upon it's release, but it's still a week before it gets released over here, so I dunno I'll finish MGS4 on hard and play more CSS or something. Aside from gaming and exams, life has been pretty quiet, mostly sitting around. We went into town a couple times after our English exams (Yes we have 2 English exams) and that was pretty fun, got up to a lot of stuff. Was gonna go see Max Payne during this break between exams, but that's probably not going to happen now since friends still have them going on when I don't. Semi-looking forward to some events coming up after exams, I'll find out what's gonna happen as they get closer. Too lazy to inquire more, and I usually find out everything at the last minute anyway. I suppose that'll do for today, this is probably a lot bigger than I expected it to be :P If you read the whole thing you're probably bored to death now, sorry :P

Well it's been a while since I blogged so I suppose I can think of a few things to say. The PS3 is running just fine, bought GTA4 and MGS4 and have beaten each... I actually only got MGS4 on Saturday and finished it Sunday evening (only easy though since I need to learn the ropes, playing through on normal now) :P The reason I have MGS4 is because of birthday money I got (birthday was Friday) so yay for me I guess. 18's the age so now I can pretty much do anything and will be relied on to get alcohol... Not what I'm looking forward to, since I barely drink in the first place. Birthday was good, just went out with family so it was nice and quiet. Erm, today I did my final HSC music performances so I'm glad those are over, and I only have 2 official weeks of school left, this one and the next, but we get let out early next week to have a few days off. So I suppose we'll be getting real lazy in class soon, everyone just wants to get out of there :P In other news I'm having real trouble sleeping lately, I don't know why, but I have to be up almost all day to get some half-average sleep. It's slowly returning to normal but it's still not good. So now just counting down the days till my exams start and school's totally over. Probably gonna end up working there in IT next year... Easy money :P

Me and Mah PS3 stupid too big pictures >_> One of my dad's friends wasn't using his, so, we picked it up for a cheap $300, with 2 sixaxxis wireless controllers and Dirt, also some WW2 Plane game, no AAA games yet, and I don't have any money for them either but meh,now I can get some when I actually have money again, its only a 40GB, also something I'm not worried about as of yet. Will be playing it tonight most probably.

Can I borrow someone else's for a while?? I hit a slump, having a bit of trouble getting back on track, hope to do it during the holidays which starts after tomorrow. I need to get some sleep and relaxation. We had an athletics carnival Tuesday and I'm a bit sore, but I'll heal up, the exercise was good for me :P Umm my laptop battery has also failed so it has to stay on AC power till I can find the money to get a new one. 100 bucks is the price for an extended-life one which I've been meaning to get for some time now. This one sucked >_> So yeah I'm not in the best mood, but I won't be showing it on here :) Thanks for reading guys, there's a little update on me. P.S. New blog header too, nothing special. **EDIT** On a side note here's my piano performance for my HSC, there was supposed to be another section with saxaphone but things stuffed up. Also it's not right at the start, teacher forgot to start recording :P [video=IHM6xTOo5b0KuDfa]

I have no idea where to start on this one... Been a really big few weeks.

I think I'll slowly work backwards... So, right now I have an assessment task due tomorrow for Software Design and Development I've been working hard on and doing the finishing touches tonight, most of it's been printed etc, its about 10,000 words, then there's the program I wrote as well, it's going fine and I think I've done enough to go resonably well, and I hope I do.

Moving to yesterday, I travelled down south for the East Coast band Championships with my concert band, and we managed to win our C grade section by a margin of 2 points, 137 was us, 135 was second. We had to play a sacred item (hymn) and then a piece of our choosing, I believe we lost most points on the hymn because it was pretty dull and easy, but the own choosing is a bit better and probably won it for us. Haven't got all the info yet, just the scores. The bus trip down and back was pretty fun as well.

Moving to the past week I've been doing relationship building with a special someone however it's a complicated situation, but we're pretty close, she's great and makes me real happy all the time ^_^

As for last weekend, I got my driver's license on that Saturday and now do a fair bit of driving here and there, it's pretty fun and makes me much more able to go out and stuff when I need/want to without strain on my parents to take me, was pretty excited/nervous that day but was pretty joyed to hear the words "Congratulations, you passed".

I went out to a birthday party that night and didn't get back till late but had a nice time, all my friends were in the same town so I got round to all of them that one night, including my best friend which I hadn't seen for over a year, call me lazy for not seeing him earlier, because I am :P

I've been doing pretty well in my schooling activities, with grades and such, a couple of projects to do but nothing to worry about now, practicing up my music for that assessment, have to polish up 3 pieces for that.

I guess after the retreat I mentioned in my last blog I've been in pretty high spirits, nothing seems to be able to drag me down at the moment and I've been extending out further than normal, actually getting a social life and stuff, sounds so different than the me from a year or so ago, I've come a long way it seems...

Sorry for the wall of a blog but there's been a few significant events happening lately, so until my next blog, see you later...

Don't stay tuned because I have no idea when that will be as usual.

Or is it out? I'm gonna be away for around 2 and half days because school is making me go away on retreat and any technology is contraband >_> Stupid school, not caring about any of you. So yeah I'm going to get **** bored and do a bunch of random activities and whatever else they have planned, I'll try to do the social thing, but I know I'm not too good at it so what happens happens. I'll probably eat 5 craptons of food on the way as well, clean that place out good, as I usually do while away. I shall try to be happy during it and wait till I get back then probably have a gaming splurge or something. Take care Gamespot :) See you when I see you

So I took a drive yesterday, and ended up with this :P I'm gonna disappear of the earth for a few days while I get done with the HL2 games, I'll try to get to blogs though.

Well I've been tagged by 2 people that I've seen, so I guess I'll pain stakingly fork out 10 things. 1. The first video game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Megadrive. 2. I can fit whole Mcdonalds cheeseburgers in my mouth and eat them without spitting them out or gagging. 3. I grew up in a country town 740km away from my current residence. 4. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke, and can detect it from a long way away. 5. I now like being in the dark, although I was afraid of it until I was 10. 6. I'm a competant fisherman, having caught a fish nearly twice my body weight and 2 others like it. (It was 142.2 kg, thats about 313 pounds).

7. I hate partying, especially if alcohol is involved. 8. I have a loose knee joint due to a defect, and it has dislocated 3 times. 9. As a musician, I can play any percussion instrument, including piano, and sing a bit as well. 10. My favorite music genres are R&B (particularly slow jams) and many different Alternative styles. Umm, thats enough, also pretty much all my friends have been tagged already, so I'll save you the redundancy.

Here's my crappy drumming as promised ^_^ Sorry to those who may not be able to view it, but you can imagine :P [video=KiFgnmOo5bwFvDTW]

I had a big english assessment, on today, I hope I did well, but I suck at english >_> Also had to film stuff for the music assesment tonight but some person forgot to bring full disks so I only got half the stuff (not my fault I was told 2 days before that everything would be provided and I just had to turn up). My piece is on Friday (I hope, there's been some technicalities) and I'll make sure I get the vid, so you guys can possibly see my crappy drumming skills. So sorry I've been away, am trying to catch up now.
