surprise, surprise! Well, if it isn't miss never-post-a-lot.

Well, I've decided to focus this journal on my video-game collecting hobby and my art. yay. Who cares about my private life, really? Here I'll be posting tidbits of interesting info from the video game collecting world as well as some of my own finds, and I promote others to contribute and 'show off' what else they may know.

Well currently in collecting news I finally have to say goodbye to two of my Mega CD games with spinecards, due to lack of space on my shelves. The spinecards are a bitch to find, so here you are if you're interested:

prince of persia is on the way.

Also partway through modding a PAL snes, giving it the 50-60 hz switch and the lockout switch. This means I'll finally be able to play imports. Huzzuh!

Art...there isn't much right now. maybe a bit later before I go to Reading festival.

Hello. Long time no see, LiveJournal. How are things? Your hair looks nice. How is your mother-in-law? Things for me have been very busy and stressful, so I apologise for my absenteeism. I vouch we start with a clean slate and build up that once grand relationship we had. Within your discretion of course.

Currently I'm doing my GCSE exams a year late, because my school thinks it's a trememdous idea to keep kids a year over because the teachers posses no teaching skill whatsoever. They put it down to 'steiner ideals' but in all honesty I'd say it's because they concentrate on building up your confidence instead of building up an intelligent approach to basic maths. I'm not saying that building up a kid's confidence is a bad thing; on the contrary, it's a very good thing to promote. But there needs to be a balance. And frankly, when your school's IT lab has no functioning equipment in it anymore (including the computers. All twelve or so of them.) that has to be a sure fire sign that your school is lacking resources.

Me and my boyfriend Daniel had a short split in the summer, but overall we are still together and we are in, what I believe to be, a very loving relationship. Of course, I can't speak for Daniel's point of view, but I'd hope he feels the same. We have now been together for a year and three months, though we didn't celebrate the year anniversary with much gusto. Maybe next year will be different.

I have a place in Canterbury college to do a course in video game design so long as i get the grades and pass summer school, which frankly I am ecstatic about. It makes me want to finish school even quicker and finally do something I will enjoy, which will hopefully lead to me getting a foothold on the video game industry doorstep and try to get into a creative design job at a development company.

Which finally leads me to the art corner. The scanner is out of order at the present time along with the tablet, so I hope webcam photos will suffice.



A piece I'm doing for my art exam, in felt tips no less. If you don't know who it is you've undoubtedly been living under a rock for the past few years few years. Unfortunately the bad quality of photo means you can't see the battle damage and mud stains on his suit very well.

That's all for the moment until I can fix the scanner. See you guys soon.
