Wow, it's been a while. What can I say? My internetmis still down, I'm at dads again. It's been forever, and I'm kind of pissed off now. I want my internet back. I live such a sad life that I have very few real friends. Or, those that I used to class as real friends are absolute bitches - I feel like there about three people in my life I can trust anymore. Boys are so stupid. What do you do when you spill your heart out to a boy you thought you could trust, and he's so heartless it makes you want to die? I fed up them all, I deffinately think lesbianism is the way forward.
I'm attempting to work on a layout change, but my dads computer is useless. Hopefully we'll have the internet back up at home soon, if not then I'm getting alaptop for Christmas - so I'll be on all the time then. God, I hope I don't have to wait till Christmas to get any internet access at home. I might just crawl under a rock and die. Meh.
Peace Out. Willow. x

not dead
Heyy,
Just so everybody knows - I'm not dead.
My mother's bank account got hacked and somebody spent loads of her money. The bank has said they're going to give her it back, but it could take a while. Since she has to spend what money she has left on stuff like food and electricity she can't afford to pay the internet company until she gets her money bank. The internet company, being the idiots they are, refuse to take our situation into account and decided to cut off out inter till we can pay. I'm sneaking on at my dads now, but I don't know when my internet at home will be back on. I'll try to get on as much as possible at my dads till then, but don't be expecting much.
I'm planning a layout change as soon as I get my internet back at home (since my dad's computer has no editing programs what so ever, and I don't spend enough time here to make the banner and everything, anyway). So we have that to look forward to upon my return.
Peace Out. Willow. x

eeerm?
Heh. Actually, I don't have much to blog about, I just thought I should... since I haven't done so in four days.
I went for a check up at the doctors, and got told I was fat. How lovely... He said that I was a little over average, and that I should just try and lose half a stone. There really was no need to call me fat for the sake of half a stone. Talk about a confidence boost. ¬¬'
So anyway, my mother, being my mother, has stuck on some new healthy eating plan so that I can lose my dire extra weight of... half a stone!
I told you I'd be run down with coursework this holiday. It's horrible. Argh! I've barely had time to do anything on Talismanic, which is a bummer, since I had planned to spend the holiday making lots of graphics. Hopefully I should have finished the bulk of it tonight or tomorrow, though, giving me at least a few days to add some new stuff.
Oh yeah, I added a little 'additions and updates' section on the centre page, so that I don't have to ramble on about what's new in my blog anymore.
I think that's about it. Back to coursework for me. Woot woot...
Peace Out. Willow. x

dead.
I'm officially dead! In the space of 48 hours I have: ran a cross country race, played three netball games, done a hundred meter sprint, done two and a half hours of archery and one hour of karate. All my muscles are screaming at me... I can barely move.
We finally broke up for half term! A whole week of freedom. Most of it will probably be taken up with coursework... I have enough. I absolutely hate my GCSEs. There is so much work! it's just ridiculous.
I made eight new icons and one new song quote, added an awards page, a 'before I die' page, a fan fiction page, a 'past layouts' page and updated the directory. Talismanic also has two new affiliates; Paws and Erin . Yayy!
Not much else to talk about, I don't think. Just a quick blog, since I haven't updated in a couple of days.
Peace Out. Willow. x

Green Day LIVE!!
Last night was effing amazing!!
It really is the only way I can describe it.
I was quite tired after almost four hours travel to get to the venue, but that's nothing that litres of Irn Bru and an eyeful of Mike Dirnt couldn't fix. ;D
The support band, Prima Donna, were alright. I quite liked their music, but they tried to hard to be liked, and that just spoiled it. They reminded me a lot of Aerosmith, which was good - I like Aerosmith. They were only on half an hour, which was also good... any longer and I might have died from excitement and a need to see Green Day.
When Green Day did eventually come on it was simply phenominal. They played a three hour set, which was just brilliant. They never stopped moving, even after they'd been playing for an hour - they barely stopped to rest for thirty seconds!
I can't remember exactly what order the songs were, but I remember which songs they did play:
21st Century Breakdown
Before the Lobotomy
Holiday
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
21 Guns
Welcome To Paradise
She
Longview
Brain Stew
Static Age
Basket Case
East Jesus Nowhere
Know Your Enemy
American Idiot
Jesus Of Suburbia
Are We We Are
Saint Jimmy
King For A Day
Shout
Minority
When I Come Around
Then, at the end Billie Joe did a lovely solo set with an acoustic guitar where he played;
Last Night On Earth
Wake Me Up When September Ends
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Every single song they did was magic, you could really tell it came from the heart. I love Mike Dirnt, he's always so serious, bless him. But damn is he ever hot?
Not only was in amazing music, it was really funny, too. At one point somebody threw a pink wig onto the stage, which Bille Joe picked up and put on. He then claimed to feel like Lady GaGa, reChristened himself Billie-GaGa and began to sing Poker Face. Later on Tré was wearing a red bra and pink hat while they played King For A Day, so Billie decided to inform us all that it wasn't Tré Cool playing drums, but infact it was Katy Perry. There was also a giant drunken pink rabbit doing the YMCA, and a random fan named Darren dragged up on stage, given the oppertunity to sing some of Longview, and then forced to do a stage dive.
What a fucking brilliant night, without a doubt the best night ever. (:

mehh.
There really is nothing I think you want to hear about happening in my life just now... but I haven't blogged in three days, so I'll find something to talk about.
I haven't blogged, but I have been online. I've added two new song banners, and I'm working on a batch of icons. I'm also thinking about making a new layout, I'm sick of this one already. I have a few ideas but I haven't decided which one to use yet.
Talismanic has another affiliate; Allez! Yayy! *hugs Allez*
Ooh, and I just found out Twenty Twenty are coming back to Newcastle in January 2010, I'm sooooo buying my ticket is as soon as they go on sale. I might be going to see White Lies in November, I'm not sure if there's any tickets left though. Got Go:Audio and Green Day in October and Electric Six in Decemember, so WL would make a gig every month this year apart from February, May, July and August.
Almost finished the next chapter of my fanfic... this one just doesn't want to be writen, but I'll get there. I'm having to work on it little bit by tiny little bit now that I'm getting so much homework. It really is crazy how much homework I already have, and I haven't even been back at school two weeks!
Peace Out. Willow. x

Ha. I finally used a Merthurish icon for my blog!! I couldn't not, being me.
Nothing much happened today, I'm only really writing this because I'm majorly bored, and because I need to update.
Just a normal day at school, but P.S.H.R.E was reeeeally funny. Miss. Crofts - "and we'll also be looking at the ten commandments..." Jessica - "What are the ten commandments?" Maghfoor - "Aren't they those rules Christians have to follow... you know, by Moses...?" Emily - "Who's Moses?" Jacob - "The one who built the ark, idiot!" whole class - *bursts out laughing*
So yeah, obviously my class has no religious education whatsoever, I can only guess as to what they've been doing in R.S for the past three years... then Cameron decided that he was infact a superhero named Lazer Child, and proceeded to run around the class making trumpet noises and claiming that Lazer Child was here. When Emily told him to stop being an idiot he turned aroud, looked her straight in the eye and went: "At least I know who Moses is." and walked away. It was possibily the funniest thing I've seen in months.
After school I tried to work on some graphics, but I have artistic block, so instead me and my friend Doddzy spent a couple of hours searching the most stupid things we could think of on eBay... you'd be supprised what you can buy nowadays...
There really is nothing else for me to talk about.
Peace Out. Willow. x

stamina
So today I got up at 1pm... because I'm lazy like that. Or maybe it was because I didn't go to bed till about 3:30am - but whatever. I then sat inside mostly all day, because I'm cool like that. I did homework *woopiee* ... yeah, er, anyway. I did homework, read some of Flame Of Recca - an anime book I've been meaning to read forever, it's really good, and worked on Talismanic some more. I made two song banners; a Twenty Twenty one that I don't really like, so I'll probably re-make it at some point I remade to look tonnes better, and a Green Day one which I love - it's the best graphic I've ever made in my opinion.
I also added a directory and a page with my RP characters on. The directory looks pathetically empty with only three sites listed, but I'm sure it'll be fuller later. When I was making my RP character's page I realised just how many I have. o.o; In CoastClan alone I had about 15 cats. I keep telling myself not to make any more RP characters, or else I'll lose track, but I don't seem to be able to listen to myself.
After I'd finished being a lazy so and so I went to karate, where we did stamina work all hour - and now all my muscles ache a lot. It's killing me just to type this. I wasn't designed to do 200 push-ups, 200 squat-thrusts, 200 leg-raises and 200 sit-ups. o.o;
I also wrote some more of a fanfiction I've been writing for a while now - it's ten chapters long, and I'm working on the 11th now. If anyone wants to read it you can find it on my deviantART account, which is listed on the 'add me' page. Just so nobody can blow it saying I didn't warn you, it is a Merthur (Merlin x Arthur) fanfic, and does contain love between two boys - so if you don't like that sort of stuff then DON'T read it.
On the topic of Merlin, series two was supposed to start yesterday, but it got postponed to next week, which is really annoying. I read a review for the first eppisode of the new series which a fan had seen at a ComiCon, and it sounds amazing. I can't wait. Apprently there's a lot of Merthur hints, but then Arthwen (Gwen x Arthur) hints all at the same time - which sounds a little confusing because Arthur can't be secretly in love with his manservant and Morgana's servant-maid at the same time, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Talismanic has it's first affiliate - June from Under the Stars. June's my best budder, my sugar plum and my fiancé, so I'm naturally estatic that we're affiliates, too. I'll also be becoming affiliates with Nikki from Starlight Dreams once she has a link button.
I'm off to find a hot water bottle for my poor arms.
Peace Out. Willow. x

Raise your hands!
Wow, so much to talk about.
Well, I'm back on Talismanic, obviously. It took some time to reopen, due to school and the likes, but it's finally ready! I really like this layout, it's exactly my style - black with a splash of colour. The music might not be to everyones taste, but I don't care. Punk music rocks. It took me three attempts to make a layout I liked enough to put up. First I made one based on Go:Audio's "So Quiet You Were", then I made one based on One Republic's "Apologize". I liked them both, but the first one was too boring, and I couldn't get the colours right for the second one. This one is perfect, to me, anyway. Someone else can probably find a fault in it, and if you do pleeease point it out to me so I can try and put it right. There's not much content up at the moment, I'll add some more at some point. My main aim was to get the site open, then make graphics.
I went to see Twenty Twenty's "Raise Your Hands" Tour live on Thursday night, they were awesome! Since they're a really small band that not many people have heard of, there was only about 250 - 300 people there, which made it a really close gig. They played loads of new stuff from their upcoming album that nobody knew the words too, and some old favourites like "Forever", "Get Down" and of course "Story Of Our Lives". Half way through the set Sam (guitar/vocals) got topless, which was a real bonus! Because there were so few people there, there was a chance to meet the bands (Twenty Twenty, plus support acts The Broadcast and Gap Year Riot,) afterwards. They were great, all really nice people. I don't think I could have been bothered to sign 300 autographs and have 300 pictures taken - but they did it. Stood and talked to loads of people too. I got my ticket, gig-top and poster signed, as well as getting pictures with Sam (Twenty Twenty guitar/vocals), Jack (Twenty Twenty bass/vocals), Sonny (Twenty Twenty drums) and Steve (The Broadcast bass). I'll be seeing them again in October, when they support Go:Audio with Attack! Attack!
It was the first week back at school this week, but it really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Because it's now the start of my GCSEs I got to drop loads of subjects, so now I only take ones I like. That, added with the fact that I got alright teachers equals a pretty good school year.
Can't think of what else to talk about... so I guess I'll go and make some more graphics.
