[TA DA!]

More serious, keeping this one though :P

Awesome Week Off

Well, from my point of view it was pretty awesome. Mostly because I did nothing stressful.

For the first few days I looked after Ruffles (Green's Cat), going twice a day to let him in and feed him, and then later to feed him and let him out. He seemed a lot more interested in head butting my leg than eating the food though but it was always gone when I got back nonetheless.

For the rest of the time I went in a cycle of:

• Watching an anime which I have already seen (2 years ago) and one which a friend in my Psychology class is currently watching but on DVD, so I had time to catch up anyway. This was mainly so we can talk about it without me spoiling anything (and it's pretty awesome).
• Playing Fallout over and over to a point where I'm now only 2 achievements away from being 100% complete.
• Reading various books.
• Drawing various drawings.
• Watching various videos
  

There was also a lot going on with different siblings going in and coming out of hospital almost daily.

On the other hand, The Skit Guys:

Awesome :P

Bloggity Blog

I haven't blogged in a while :/ I shall try my best to remember what happened since I blogged last:

College

College has slightly lost it's spark. It is still way better than school (sorry). There's nothing really else to say. I go, do work, go home :P. The CU has grown a lot :P needing more tables each week now. Reviews next week meaning 2 days of college followed by one (it you are lucky) day of ten minute appointments with teachers.

YFriday

YFriday's Final Farewell was awesome :D :

- The journey there was awesome XD people are funny...

- The Steels were pretty good, I bought their new album (which I got signed by all of them) and the album is actually pretty awesome :P

- YFriday played and as usual were amazing XD I don't think I would ever get bored of going to their gigs (had this not been their last)

Church

I am getting baptised on the 5th of December (which is now but weeks away) and I get mentored now by Andy (Smith) which is exciting :D I'm looking forward to start talking about Genesis on Wednesdays too :D

- Not quite related but I accidentally broke my 'WWJD' wristband and my 'God is Awesome' wristband so I ordered new ones. The 'God is Awesome' one only comes in packs of 3. 2 spare now XD

Birthday

Hey I'm 17. weird. Mine and Michael's plans to swap happy birthdays at midnight was sabotaged by Hannah XD was amusing though.

I saw The Social Network at the cinemas which was pretty awesome :P It wasn't what I expected.

College etc.... I might even mention a turtle, who knows? :}

For the pat few days I have been going to this strange place called 'College' and so shall blog about it.

Firstly, and by far most importantly, there is a sweet shop REALLY close to the college. Not just a shop like Sainsburys that just sell sweets, this one ONLY sells sweets. I bought sour apple thingys.

I have had many frees in which I wandered around, listened to music, read or if I didn't need to be there, gone home. The majority of work we did this week was just introducing us into college life.

Oh yeh, we do these lesson things too:

Psychology - I currently know nobody in my psychology class :O I have talked to a few people and they seem nice so I shall have to make friends. The teacher too seems nice and I can tell as soon as we get into the real work I should enjoy the lessons more.

Biology - I only know one person in my class who I didn't really talked to much before. We talk now though considering I am the only person they know too XD The teacher is basically Mr. Walker with a twist so biology shouldn't be too different to how it was at school.

Chemistry - I know a few people in my class, however sit near none of them. I do talk to one of them during breaks however so it's not too bad. I sit next to someone I don't know but we talked a bit last lesson so we should be OK for a while, although I feel I seem weird :D The teacher is a nice and funny and awesome so I shall learn a lot this year (I hope).

Maths - I know lots of people :D Tilda for one, as well as (coincidentally) my mum's best friend's daughter who I have met several times XD There's also several people from my old school class and a girl who we recently met who is also Christian so there are plenty of people to talk to :D The teacher is pretty good and I have learned some new 'tricks' despite doing no real work. Tilda also pointed out how he has Mr. Patrick's eyes and proceeded to make up a story of how he was hi brother but in a gay civil relationship so had a different name. Such an imagination.

I also took FOUR enrichment activities which are:

• Chinese Language (along with many friends)
  
• Christian Union (me, Tilda, Martin, James and Zoe XD) Although a few more may join when we persuade them to.
• Work Experience (I have an interview some time)
• First Aid

How was everyone's first day back at school/college?

P.S. Turtle

The Original Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala etc.

In other news:

• The alligator is my favourite
• I start college tommorow
• My rooms a mess
  

Harvest :D

Strangely I awoke today wondering why the walls of my room were solid and not moving with the wind. I decided I will blog it in a day by day style like I did before with one of my blogs XD Mainly so I don't miss anything out.


Wednesday

When we first arrived we had to set up our tents and I believe out of our group I may have been last to succeed in this... or definetely close to last. We had the BIG launch at 3pm which was mostly games to win our village points and information on the week ahead. This ended at 3:45.
During the 3 hours we had to kill until the main event Queen Green made rules up. This involved No thinking of Elephants, No killing, No dying, Clapping when Fiona said something clever, Telling Hannah we loved her when she asked for attention amongst many others.
The main event (6:45-9) was awesome XD The Steels who I saw at Light Water Valley played first which was cool and Yfriday followed. I looked forward to Yfridays performance everyday, mostly because I knew the songs and enjoyed them.
Throughtout the week you could text in shout outs and 2 involving our church got shown. 1 from me which was a shout out to our very shouty washing up team consisting of Hannah, James, Luke and myself (although I didn't really shout). The second we later discovered was sent in by Will which said ''Will you marry me James Hedges?''.
The bands were followed by games. Dave Newton was the speaker and spoke about how God is unbelievably big and stressed the importance of how awesome he is.
In the after hours, me, Esther and Luke watched Up which was being shown in the barn.
After this we all sat and talked in the kitchen tent until sometime after midnight until we all went to bed.

Thursday

We all woke up relatively early the next day. I was rather cold but this helped me decide how many layers I need to keep warm so I didn't mind too much. We had breakfast about 8ish and Andy our village chief shouted to wake James up.
We went to high fibre, the morning service, at 10:15. The guy called Peter who played the music was good and Gav Calver was speaking everyday for the older group which was good because I has heard him speak before at Unite and learnt from him. He was also quite funny.
After dinner Esther, Luke and I went to a mission trip called Hope. During this we left site to a church about 20 minutes away. We decorated cakes and handed them out in a box of 5 to the local community for free. This laster just over 2 hours before we were took back to camp in time for tea.
The evening service was at the same time but with the Naughty Vicars as the opening act. The bassist from the Steel played with Yfriday because their bassist couldn't make it. I was in pain through the service but still enjoyed it despte spending most of it in my seat. Ruth Valerio who talked about worship being a choice.
I went to bed early so missed the after hours events :P

Friday

I woke up at a time I thought was late in comparrsion to the previous day. I went to the prayer meeting (9 - 9:30) which was different to what I expected, I guess I expected more to be attending than did. When we split into small groups to prayer I was with a group of lads I didn't know but they were nice and introduced themselves and we prayed for one another.
We Gav Calver spoke again in the morning and after dinner we went to Hope again and handed out more cakes. We were given a box to keep too and so we named them. Mine were called Chris, John, James, Jane and Igorilla. Hannah's were Naomi, Ezekiel, Tom, Ruth and (forgot last one, Hannah if you read this comment with name XD).
Phillipa Hanna was the opening act on Friday and was a lot better than I had expected. Ben Jack, who hosted in the morning service and is a radio DJ (Galactus Jack) talked about when worship hurts and when we may struggle to worship.
In the after hours, Carl, Luke and myself visited the comedy lounge which was very misleading due to it not being funny XD The band were funnier than the comedian. We left shortly after and wandered around before going to bed.

Saturday

Many people came from the church on Saturday. This made playing Ninja more fun as playing ninja had become a daily activity of ours (I was seen as an easy player to get out and I can't deny this). I was also impressed with Andy's chess playing skills as he managed to beat Carl without looking at the board.
After morning service, instead of going to hope we decided to go to a seminar. Although there were many jokes about going to the homosexuality seminar, many of us attended :P It was interesting, it covered many issues and not just homosexuality.
The last evening service was amazing. the bandwithnoname played first and although it is by far not the style of music I personally enjoy, it did make us all very energetic. Yfriday again were amazing and Gav Calver spoke about Jesus being the centre of worship.
Harvest's Got Talent was shown in the after hours. Although I disagree with the performance of Moon Chavs being the best, they won. Crackers was hillarious for unknown reasons yet I laughed all the way through it and cheered them for eating crackers very casually on stage. The audience seemed to have ben looking forward all year for it XD.

Sunday

I enjoyed the morning service with Chris Rogers as the speaker. Yfriday played for the last time at Harvest and the audience chanted and got one more song after their 'final song' XD We took communion and prayed in our group.
Esther, Naomi, Phil, James and I were the last on site and must have been the last people who weren't staff there too :D


It's results day tommorow and I'm a little nervous I guess :P

Twas The Day Before Harvest...

Tis Harvest tommorow so I decided now would be a good time to start packing.

I am excited XD I checked out the bands beforehand (although YFriday played at IXth Hour) which made me even more excited.

I must remember to take my glasses... and camera? maybe XD

I shall charge my phone and iPod tonight too.

I was feelng flu-y yesterday but I'm fine today which is good.

This was more of a list than a blog XD

Blog That May Be Uninteresting But I feel I Need To Blog

So for the past week and a bit I have been re-playing Halo 3 with friends on Xbox Live. After completing it again and playing hundreds of battles online, I have decided to buy Halo Reach when it comes out.

It is set before the first game but only by a few days and you play as a group of characters who stayed to fight rather than fleeing like the main character in the other games. There is also a competition where, if you win, you play as the lead character whilst 4 celebrities play as your team mates. The only one I remember is Rio Ferdinand :/

I am now excited about this.

• Harvest Soon!
• That is all.
  

This Is A Blog, You May Read It

I have internet! Now to blog.

What I Did Without Internet by Sir Thomas Igor Anderson esq.

The first day was easy as I was moving stuff all day. I missed the majority of the waiting around since I was helping at Going Bananas (if you're happy or you're sad, if you're gloomy or you're glad etc.). My room was done in no time with the help of my little brother/temporary slave. Organising stuff took a while so I went out for a few hours to avoid it because I'm helpful like that.

On Wednesday I was slightly annoyed because at Going Bananas (if you're happy or you're sad etc.) I left the room for a few minutes and apparently missed Elijah who came from the past :/ He left shortly before I returned... darn.

The rest of week was filled with me going out as to not be so bored I start playing eye (I?) spy with myself. Going Bananas (if you're happy etc.) was fun and I was sad it ended, we had an awesome team. On Friday night I hunted velociraptors in the woods and so you all can thank me for saving us all from a dinosaur invasion.

I went out with my dad, his girlfriend and that little person who has the same parents as me on Saturday. We went to Stockton festival for a bit where my father proceeded to try his hardest to embarass me, quite literally.

Sunday I got a picture of a happy curly haired girl. I also bought DVDs and probably played on games... I don't remember which is a clear sign of it not being so interesting at night.

On Monday I played games with that person they call Sam who has been living in my house for as long as I can remember and has the same second name as me. We saved Africa from a zombie outbreak and saved the world from its destruction, this took us around 4 hours.

Tuesday my Grandma came. This was fun because everytime she left the room, my older brother and sister both pulled faces and made jokes as though we were still 6. Yhis amused me greatly and so I spent all day in the living room waiting for my Grandma to leave the room. My Grandma mocked my brother's hair and made many suggestions to my older brother's career path. I always get off lightly :P

Wednesday Mr. I. N. Ternet came to install the internet. A ginger cat kept coming in my house which was fun. I also now have Xbox Live which is all I have done so far today.

In Other News:

• I received an e-mail from my past self.
• I can no longer fly :/ Was thinking of proving I can too but too late now I guess
• I am going to only put two bullet points just to break the rule of having three
• ... oh
• Well now I have five

How is everyone?

Last Night of Internet for a Week + Stuff (long post)

Last Night of Internet

Turns out I won't have to wait that long for the internet. Someone will be coming to the new house a week on Wednesday to set it up. I can survive a week... I hope. I am using this time by doing nothing productive, which is always fun. Come to think of it, I have been reading instead. As soon as the internet isn't there, I won't want to read. This is guaranteed.

Going Bananas

I will probably talk about this more when I get internet since there has only been one day so far. I am one of the leaders of Team Jamaica alongside Esther. James was a good Noah today and I am still curious to how he appeared/disappeared :/ I feel silly. I shall be Elijah on Wednesday though despite me never acting in front of people before D: I just kinda felt I should volunteer XD.

Amish Thing

After seeing Fiona's post on the amish programme, I was determined to do my own. Although I feel like they are going to compare the Amish way of life to lives in Britain that aren't necessarily average, I will probably watch all the episodes.
For those who didn't see it, basically they take four Amish teenagers to Britain to show different ways of life.
The first episode did make the Amish way of life seem very peaceful, however this was compared to one with violence.
I watched this with my mum which was weird. I feel she felt awkward whenever anything to do with Christianity was mentioned which is a step up I guess :P Atleast she remembered I'm Christian this time. The Amish are fundamentalists (I think) and so their lifestyle is quite different. They seem a lot more isolated too, which I find strange.

Other:

• I stopped half way through this post to go out for an hour with 2 friends who I haven't talked to in a while XD Caught up with stuff.
• I should be packing right now...
• I feel obliged to make a third bullet point.

Anyway... bye internet :(

[Witty blog name with possible pun goes here]

I am moving next Tuesday :P which means I won't have the internet soon as we need to cancel it and installing in the new house may take sometime. I may do the unthinkable and go to that place people talk about called 'outside' or do that thing people say is interesting called 'being productive'. On the up side theres a good chance of a blog post after I get internet.

I do however have a friend who lives close by who said I can use his internet (Thanks Wilkes XD) so I may be able to check up with everything every once in a while. I shall post contact details in case people need XD which is unlikely :/ I guess someone might want to phone to see if I learnt anything about this place known as 'offline'.

Anyway, for those of you who have not heard this:
[Link... wish I had something more interesting to write instead of link...]
You will need to use headphones for this and closing your eyes makes it better. It's only audio anyway.

More updates on my extremely exciting life:

• I discovered that when I bring ID to buy energy drinks at bells, they never ask for it, but when I forget, they ask... mind reading staff?
• A samurai would beat a viking in a fight, so says TV.
• Bells/Sainsburys/Bleh now stock sweets called 'wonder winders' which is good.

OK XD I might blog again before internet gets mercilessly torn from my life (torn looks like tom kinda).

Alternatively you can shine the Igorman symbol into the night sky and I will come-a running.

Is it dangerous putting this online? meh XD

How to Cheer Up

[Link]

Watch it for as long as neccessary...

My Theory on 2012

Today it became obvious to me what will happen on 2012 :( The idea came to me when deciding that even though I like Pacman and Tetris, I can't play either of them well. Here it is:

Consider the possibility that somewhere in space, there is a huge Pacman and he is being chased by the four ghosts. Now, the only way he can defeat these ghosts is to eat a giant yellow glowing ball eg. the Sun. Therefore, the planets will be nommed gaining Pacman a few points and then the Sun and Pacman will eat all four ghosts, gaining a further 2400 points.

Be prepared my friends :/

Boredom Defeater of the Future!!

I found an awesome site where you can send an e-mail and decide when it will be recieved. Therefore, you can send an email to yourself 10years from now :P

[Link to da Site]

If it's only me who finds this cool, humour me anyway.

I now have something to look forward to XD

Ninth Hour

IXth Hour was awesome XD

I didn't expect the event to kick off with a round of Mario Kart on the Wii so that was cool :P

Secondly I am sooo glad I got to see YFriday live before they went their seperate ways because they have quickly became the most listened to band on my iPod (not their greatest achievement I imagine :P). They played my current favourite song too (I think it's called Mighty to Save?) which was immense XD

Mark Ritchie was funny too and very inspiring. His story involving aftershave was hillarious XD But seriously, a lot of the things he said spoke to me and fit quite well.

The minibus journeys were cool with James serenading Luke for the majority of the time XD Shouting nice comments as we drove past people was also fun XD

Church has pratically become the highlight of my week now XD Awesome new friends

The Defeater of Boredom Strikes Again!

I haven't blogged in a while. I had to completely reboot my laptop and lost EVERYTHING.. which should have bothered me more than it did. Anyway, it's a good job I have left school so don't need any of the work XD

IN OTHER NEWS

I am moving to new marske sometime in the near future (as soon as the new kitchen and bathroom are installed in the new house).

Big Brother has became the highlight of my day.

I have possibly spent more time out of my house than in for the past week.

My family no longer find it weird that I go to church (atleast they have stopped acting surprised XD)

Nothing else to say really :P Oh yh, The Highstreet Celebration was awesome and the Americans leaving was sad. Texas Night was cool. The cheesecake at Can I Believe was nice. I am currently awaiting my rather large pizza delivery. Half my room is a mess, the other half is clean so I am confused.
Oh yeh!! Almost forgot. The title would have been pointless if I never posted these:

Sound Thingy

Button Thingy

Have fun, if you make something cool on the sound thingy, right click it, select copy, and post it as a comment on this post :D

Moving House Part 2

Apologies for not updating this that often ^^'. Out of several possibilities it seems likely that this house in Redcar is the most likely. Due to my lack of research, I don't know where it is, not even the street name :(
It is neither of the ones mentioned in the previous post, nor is it the 3-4 other houses which were possibilities after them.

Anyway, if we do get it I (apparently) have a decent sized room (in the converted loft might I add).

I would add pictures of my room in the almost empty state it is in now but that would mean cleaning up a little, which of course is out of the question.

Anti-Boredom

I FOUND SOMETHING THAT KILLS BOREDOM!

Link

Distracted me for quite some time XD

Post comments on particularly funny thing to type in :P

Try to spell out each syllabil eg. for Igor I have to type in ''Eye Gore'' (gruesome XD)

Moving House Part 1

So I decided to document my move:
Due to unforeseen circumstances we are moving house. There are some in Redcar which are possibilities and although Redcar isn't massively convenient for me, I have to admit, I rather like the houses. Me and my mum are going to check out one or two during the holidays.

I began packing the stuff in my room today and managed to fill 3 rather large boxes with my books alone XD go me. I am now sat deciding what I may need within the next week and what I can pack now. Of course, with my room not being the cleanest, this task is near impossible for me.

I shall blog more as this develops and include photos XD. So long as this doesn't interfere too much with my exams, I will be fine.

I gots an award :}

I made a thingy! Yeh Isaw it in Grace's blog and it was cool so I stole the idea and made a thingy ^^
