just a quick note to say i've reached level 15 - nobunaga's ambition, so, yeah, good for me.

that's it for now, bye!

i'm considering makin a new banner/avvy/sig for my profile, but i haveno idea what to put in it, any ideas or feedback would be appreciated.

of course, i'm already working on tags for the VGU, a banner for the rayman mario dragonball union, and i think i was meant to be making tags for another union that i've forgotten about, so imight not have the time. i seem to be doing a lot of this designing stuff nowadays, and i'm not all that great at it. actually i should probably be working on those tags and banner now, if i ever want to finish them.

that's all for now, and don't forget to comment.

well it's officially 2008, who knows what the new year will bring? i can hear fireworks going off somewhere, but my house is strangely silent, most of my family has gone to bed. i guess i should make a new year's resolution, since most people do. so, my resolution is, i am definitely going to get a ps3, a wii, or a 360 this year. well that's it for now, hope to see more of you guys in the coming year, so goodbye and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

(P.S. 69 friends! lol ;) !)

Hey guys, just a message to tell everyone to join the Video Gamers Union, a new union which i am an officer in. Already we've got a fair amount of members, and there's all sorts of activity going on, so go and check it out.

Now you are probably wondering why i am posting about a rollercoaster, but i'm not talking about a theme park ride, i'm talking about the RollerCoaster music festival which i went to yesterday. It went from 3pm until midnight, and a whole bunch of local, and famous (in australia at least) bands played. The lineup included The Fallen, Archie Shuttlecock Experience, When I Met Violet, Shihad, You Am I, Kisschasey, Sneaky Weasel Gang, and Hilltop Hoods. The best by far were the Hilltop Hoods, and the whole crowd went insane when they played. Shihad, who I had never heard before, were pretty, and so were You Am I. The local bands weren't that great, and although I don't like Kisschasey, they are pretty popular and the crowd (especially girls) went wild for them. Today i was tired and i woke up with a massive headache, but the concert was well worth it.

No Word of the Week this time, as I mentioned last week, so goodbye for now, and Happy New Years everyone.

Well, it's coming close to Christmas, so I thought I'd dosomething special. This week, I'll show you some of my favourite Christmas-themed words and phrases, as well as selecting Carol of the Week.

Words of the Week:

gay apparel- Now, I know this song was written in all innocence (I hope) but this line is just so stupid, so politically incorrect in today's society, that I had to put it in there. First and foremost, gay I mean, come on people, they could have written jolly, or joyful, but no, they settled with gay Secondly, apparel, noone says apparel any more. By the sound of it, gay apparel could be what queers buy when they go clothes shopping.

Christmahanakwanzaka- man I love this, it's the holiday for everyone. But really, I'm sure some people actually find it offensive (not me, I'm atheist and proud of it) but it's so satirical and politically incorrect it's hard not to laugh.

Christmas Carol of the Week: Everybody Hates Ned Fanders (The Simpsons)

Everybody in the USA
hates their stupid neighbor.
He's Flanders and he's really, really, lame!
Flanders tried to wreck my song,
his views on birth control are wrong.
I hate his guts and Flanders is his name.
F-L-A-N-D-E-R-S, he's the man that I hate best.
I'd like to see his house go up in flames!
F-L-A
His name is Ned!
E-R-S
That's a stupid name!
He's worse than Frankenstein or Dr. No!
You can't upset him even slightly,
he just smiles and nods politely,
then goes home and worships nightly.
His leftorium is an emporium of Woo!
F-L-A
Don't yell at Ned!
D-E-R
His wife is dead.
Everybody hates that stupid jerk.
Springfield's caught with Homer's joyous loathing!
Filling clubs, with angry valentinos.
You don't have to move your feet,
just hate Flanders to the disco beat.
He's your perky, peppy, nightmare neighbourino!
If you like polite left-handers then I doubt you'll like Ned Flanders
or his creepy little offspring Rod and Tod.
That's us. Hooray!
F-L-A
His name is Ned!
E-R-S
He is so white bread.
The smiling mustache geek who walks with God!

Man of the Week: Frosty the Snowman, the other Christmas mascot. Santa gets all the publicity and fame, just for delivering a few presents, and while I'm not sure exactly what Frosty is supposed to do, he stands in Santa's shadow, never complaining or asking for attention. So here's to Frosty, the underappreciated symbol of Christmas.

Quotes of the Week: "Christmas at my house is always at least six or seven times more pleasant than anywhere else. We start drinking early. And while everyone else is seeing only one Santa Claus, we'll be seeing six or seven. " -W.C. Fields

"The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin." -Jay Leno

Wow that was a huge blog for me. Now, as it's Christmas, we have guests arriving today, so I might not be on for about a week, though I'll probably stop in now and then to check on things. Also, winding down from Christmas, I'll probably give Word of the Week a miss next week (as if anyone cares, noone really reads it anyway. It's a shame too, because I put in so much effort.) I'm rambling now so I'll just say, Merry Christmahanakwanzaka and a happy New Year.

well, ive made level 14, finally. things were looking bad for a while there. i got to 13 and was stuck on about 16% for almost a week, then one day, i hit the level 6 glitch, and went back to level 6 with 0%. but the next day everything was fine, i was on level 13, with 91%, and a few days later (should have been yesterday- 99.8% - what the hell?!!) i reached level 14. well thats it for now, anything else that needs posting will come up tomorrow with word of the week (christmas special).

Words of the Week:

pneumonoultramicroscopicvolcanoconiosis- The longest word in the english language, a lung disease. Apparently it was made up just to be the longest word.

perspicacious- insightful or clever. I got this word from a Tim Minchin song (Hello)

Quote of the Week: "My parents are dead, my life sucks, I can't hold down a girlfriend, and I'm surrounded by f*cking goblins and s**t all the time, I mean what the f*ck!" - Harry Potter, Potter Puppet Pals

Now today I started playing counter strike again and now I remember why I loved it so much. If you have an account (now this is just plain CS, not Source) comment or PM me and I'll see if I can play you sometime.

Alright before i start with word of the week, a few short notes from yesterday which i couldn't be bothered posting. Firstly, Level 13! And secondly, a while back my computer screwed itself and i had to reinstall everything, but i couldn't reinstall the original DOW because i lost the CD key, so i was stuck with just DC. But yesterday i found the CD key, so now i am replaying the campaign for DOW, i'm already up to about the 10th mission.

Anyway, onto word of the week:

tam o'shanter -A Scottish hat with a fuzzy pompom on top, or just the pompom itself. Named after a character ina poem of the same name.

n00b - I had to put it in here, its just such a great word. We all know what it means and the basic history of the word, so I'll just leave you with this picture.

Quote of the Week: "We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture." -Robin Williams

Man of the Week: Jack Burgess- because I rock!

Only two good things can be said about today; 1, it's the first day of my school holidays, and 2, i saw Beowulf (absolutely awesome, a must see).

Since I had noone to give me a lift to the movies, I had two choices: ride my bike, or bus it. Ichose to ride.Wrongchoice. The problems started before I even left. I was about to get my bike from the shed when I realised my dad had the key to the shed. The only bike that wasn't in there wasmy sister's (PINK) bike. Then I realised thatI didn't have the key to the lock on my sister's bike, so it was likely to get stolen unless I stowed it away somewhere while I watched the movie. Now today, it was slightly cloudy in the morning, and I was considering taking my jacket when I left. But since it cleared up outside, I left the jacket behind. This was the WORST decision I made all day. It was fine on the way there,but when I left the cinema, it was cold, terribly windy, and before I had gone very far, it was pouring down with rain. By the time I got home I was completely soaked, no part of me wasn't wet. Now I've ridden in the rain before, but this was by far the worst time I have ever experienced. To top it all off I think my mobile might be dead due to how wet it got, but hopefully it's just run out of battery.

I might do a review of Beowulf in a later post, but for now I'm just too cold and too tired.

Feeling uninspired this week, but here goes...

Words of the Week:

fellatio- awesome word, but if i say what it means (as if you don't know already) i will probably be modded.

antithesis- the exact opposite, which can reverse or negate something to bring balance.

Quote of the Week: "The last time the meteors came, we thought the sky was on fire. Naturally, we blamed the Irish. We hanged more 'n a few." - Grandpa Simpson (The Simpsons- Episode #117, Bart's Comet)

Man of the Week: This week's winner is a tribute and goes to GoblinOnFire, who as you may have heard, is leaving Gamespot, but he will always be remembered. He entertained uswith the Uncle Goblin show, but now it's time to say farewell Goblin, you will be missed.
