When and Why I post:

To start with, Katsuro is still only at chapter 1... I visited my grandparents over the half term and ceebed to write too much.

Secondly, I have been watching Bleach, which is probably the keystone of my life right now. It's awesome but taking over my life, as I have mentioned before. I'm up to episode 174.

I have come up with multiple plots and more, all of which are free for anyone to use (Just drop a comment decribing what you want, I'll probably respond with 500 years) But do like to reference the insane (Currently, my Internet world idea has the Computer Club captain as a boy named Ichigo, which is Japanese for Strawberry (And also the protagionist in Bleach...))

Anyway, I post when I can be bothered as the prior things are taking over my life, I do plan around a thousand posts but most of them are turned into stubs or another project (Like the internet world thing, I have a full background on all the characters and everything... Ish.) But I only post when I feel like it, to quote myself: "There are only three things that matter to me, Having fun, Honour and Chocolate. Anything that doesn't fir into these categories shall not be included in the meaning of life. [Watch out! I am actually making a religion and meaning of life.] I shall simply F*** the world and piss on everyone, as those words are my inspiration."

Alternately, I may post if it is a speacial occaison, like for example, today I found out that I had done so well on a test that I qualified for some sort of wierd test. Second person in the history of Penair to do so well... So yeah, pretty good.

And now, I am going to play with my Epiphone SG Special I got a week ago for such a good report and watch more Bleach, Katsu is out of here!

A guide to Emos

I am not Emo. That is the first thing I have to say. I do believe in failure as humans and all of the Emo ideology but I am not Emo. Here is a guide on what is, and how to be, an Emo.

First, is the categories:
Not,
Transitorial,
Minor*,
Major*,
Satanic War Emo!
(All categories are my personal opinion. All categories marked with an asterisk designates a possibility of S/H."


Not: Literally, not an Emo. If you find that the person in question does not fit into any of the other categories, please call them this. Most people are this (Well, depends where you look... And the age of the subject.)

Transitorial:  A very common type of Emo. These people refuse the branding of being an Emo (Most of the time) and do not commit Self Harm (If they do, they are a minor Emo.) These people could be people who are alone on Valentines day, stressed out at the world and disbelieving that their heart can love or something similar. These people also include people who follow Emo Psychology and the like.


Minor Emos: These people hate the world to a certain extent and/or commit self harm. These people no longer believe in the happiness that is inside them and are destined for failure. These people are usually a danger to themselves and those around them. Their minds are clouded and peace is not upon them. These people usually respond to the term Emo.


Major Emos: Like the above but more advanced.


Satanic War Emos: Goths, people that worship Satan and/or dress up to perform rituals. These people are into music akin to that that Emo humans like. They are not a true Emo but associated with them.

Well, that is Emos for you. They are crazy but need a little help. The term emo comes from the word Emotional. Emos are those who are too emotional about something and believe that they are a failure. A lot of people are like this. Emos also usually suffer from a form of depression, and so they are a little harder to work with. The depression could be caused by a lack of love, a feeling that the person is being used or death of a close friend.


In my opinion, as this whole post is, there are many ways to help these people. You'd be surprised on how much can be solved with a mere hug. If you are an Emo then please, please do not resort to suicide. Most Emos are people in their teenage years as it is a part of growing up. Another way to help 'Cure' Emos is to trust them. Ignore your mind to follow them, ignore your friends and help them, ignore the world and trust them completely. You will save them.


Self Harm:

Not the best thing in the world. The people who do this are immensly confused. I will tell you as much as I can about it and tell you how to... In a way.


Wrist cutting: The worst type. This is the most common. I would say that if you only lightly cut the wrist, you will have less chance of serious injury while feeling the benefits of pain. An alternate is to cut the back of the wrist.
Burning: Simply, burn yourself. This is safer than cutting yourself.
Mental Self-Harm: Seriously, all Emos do this. They hurt themselves because of delusions of the mind. They are Emos because of delusions.


If you ever need help, tell a teacher, tell a friend, tell anyone. Someone will help you.
Hugs are best.

How Bleach could be ruining your life:

By the way, when I say 'Bleach' I am not referring to the cleaning supporter.

To start off, I have written my first chapter of Katsuro (Yes, I told you this a while ago but any means of public advertising would be good) And my friend who runs a reading club says that it is pretty good. So... I got my first review. My intentions say I should write more but... I'll talk a little more on why I'm not in a little bit.

Another random topic to talk about is how I have been drawing better Anime all the time. My friends are completely perplexed by my advanced levels of drawing; one of them was even surprised that what I had drawn wasn't a printout... I draw by hand as mice suck. That is all.

A third topic (Last one before Bleach) is that I am now learning Flash. I don't have Flash Professional myself but I want to make some sort of tutorial akin to the one that taught me how to draw Manga (It's not Anime yet)
Well, as you can tell by my single line space, this topic is being continued but there are just paragraphs to support my views. I love paragraphs. But anyway, I know how to do most of the tutorial and everything but it may take some time for me to be bothered to start and everything. Scanning will be a pain.

So... Bleach. Anyone know anything about it? No? Good.
Bleach is a popular Anime/Manga series in Japan and is all about Ichigo, a boy who can see souls, gaining the powers of a Soul Reaper and... Well, I love it and would recommend it so.. I'm  not going to reveal the plot.
I just want to say that it is SOOOOOOO good that it deserves a seven 'O' so before describing how good it is.
The pure awesomeness is inspiring. So, what could be wrong with it? The answer?
It is too good. It has capitved my life. I have already fallen in love with Rukia Kuchiki and stopped hating people because they are ginger. I am now in love with the program. Because it is soo good, I am spending all my free time watching it and I am not getting anything done. My intentions are that I write Chapter Two of Katsuro tomorrow but... I'm not sure if I can. (By tomorrow, I mean after my next sleep... I'll explain later in this post.)
So, Bleach is too good for me to focus and my other projects are suffering for it (And this massive cut on my left hands middle finger is stopping me from holding down chords on my Dean Vendetta) and so it is ruining my life.
WATCH IT OR DEATH GODS WILL POSSESS YOUR SOUL! (I'm watching it in the original Japanese with English in the subtitles.)


Well, now that that is over, I can use two of the same words next to each other in a sentence. And also tell you about my living pattern.
First, I wake up. This is after a sleep. I'll go onto that in more detail later. I could wake up at 5:30 if I wanted to, nay, needed to. I need to be up with no obligations until at least ONE HOUR aftern this step.
Second, I have my seemingly awake moment. I am awake instantly but this is only temporary. If I have no obligations, I am pretending to be asleep in bed while contemplating the secrets of the universe.
Third, I have my HALF-ASLEEP moment. This occurs when I am bored. I fall asleep randomly during this period but this is disturbed if:
1. I have to move.
2. I speak.
Fourth, I have my main time. I am awake during this time. I don't fall asleep or do anything in this time except what I want. If I'm hungry, I eat. If I want to speak, I'll speak. I spend this time interracting with my human form.
Fifth, I have fun time. I do anything, whenever! Usually at this laptop. I have no obligations. The difference between this and Four is that I can do anything in this time. Weekends skip to this point.
Sixth, I have complete awakeness. I can think my best, type my best and act my best. This is what my mum calls, Bedtime. I am a nocturnal person. I have 18+ hour days and the last three are me at my best. Talking becomes a hazard and I act impulsively, perfectly.
Seventh, I have sleep time. Sleep time lasts either:
1. On school days, until 5:30.
2. On weekends, however long I want.
And I will only execute this step when I want. No-one is the boss of me, not even Souls of those around me. I am Xander, I do as I please.


And that is my day. Six is my best for thinking, Two is just in case I am in danger when I wake up or get an oppotunity for food. Three is my 'Confrim that you're awake' point. Four and five and the main parts of the day. Seven is sleep.


That is all, I use Megaupload to view Bleach and that has a "72  minutes on, 30 minutes off" Policy to reduce danger to bandwidth. I have used up the "off" time writing this. Why? I felt like I need to practice typing for tomorrow.


Goodnight all.

EDIT: It doesn't matter what the clock says, I typed this up between 0:40 on Febuary the Twelth and 1:20 on the same day. The clock said something about the time being "17:21"

Writing

Anyone actually read this? No? Good. I'll use it to vent anger and egotistic problems then.

What is top of my mind? Febuary the Tenth is soon. That is my least favourite day of the year. I'm not going to explain why, that would be a waste of time but... Events on that day has lead to a spiral of depression and a lot of harm, mostly self-inflicted. I have ICT all day on Thursday and that is my favourite subject. I guess total solitude on that day would be welcome... Your attitude is welcome, welcome. Your solitude is welcome.

But that's not todays main event. Todays main event is writing.

I have written a short story about two characters called Josh and Hannah and they become vampires. That's basically it. I recently posted a post about how some people cannot write stories. Along with the post in question, I wrote a short character profile about Moriko Kyami. I got the name by googling "Japanese Female Names" And made up a plot for her. I decided to combine the past with my present.

Sors Castrum was my past, gothism and love. My present is Japanese Art. I was bored and so made some new characters, Katsu Aoki and Mizuki Hara. The names are actual names for stuff. Mizuki became an artist, Moriko became a naturalist and Katsu became a warrior. I designed a town based off my home town (Rochford became Rochigo) and then made up a story. This story involved a fourth person, Ryo, a demon. I had an idea to make Katsu and Ryo combine spirits at will and become, Katsuro.

And so the name became Katsuro. I wrote up the first chapter keeping my aunties advice in mind. I published this as a Facebook note. No, no-one has read it. I haven't even RE-read it. I'm starting to doubt myself.

So... I have written some more storywork. That's all.

How to write:

No offense to anyone... Except maybe the owl in the garage, listen, I don't care what you have written, Hedwig, I will not publish that book.


First, think of the characters, maybe have dark secrets, wierd facts, an odd saying... Etc. Make sure that at least you know who these characters are and what they're doing, an example:

Moriko Kyami, 17,
A Perky Green-haired girl who loves nature. She is studying gardening and has dyed her hair green to show her support for nature. She is spontanious and often abandons her friends for a just cause. Secretly, she is lonely as she lives in a treehouse alone in the nearby forest, but she doesn't tell anyone this. She loves animals and occasionally dresses up like one for laughs. Her catchphrase is "A planty time." Which she uses in reference to a good time


I like Japan, and that is the basis for this character. Names can easily be found online.


Ohh... And do a biography for every one of the main characters until you have a story forming. 2-4 protagonists are good with an equal amount of antagonists. Minor characters are exempt from this.


Second, story.


We need a plot. before we can start. Think of around 3 short stories before starting to write and write up a lot of drafts. I've been working on a plot for over 3 years... I have a folder full of trivia... I'm designing an entire world including a religion. Please think of a story.


Third, the styling, please use adjective and catchy sentences so that we can grow attached to the writing, use a wide range of adjectives so that you can really have a planty time. And finally, the most important thing:


FORMAT!


I don't mind if something rubbish as long as it's readable. If you have three paragraphs per story, blocks of dialogue on the same line as other bits of dialogue and random bolding of text... I will not read it. It sucks. I cannot read it as you are probably rushing your ideas without explaing them and also: PARAGRAPHING AND CAPITALISING CREATES EMPATHSIS! By creating this empathsis, you can draw a reader to read a long story at any point.


That's all... I'm going to write up a fantasy college story soon.

Some random facts

Welcome back to the unread blog of me, the crazy pyschopath who is just down the road from you... Seriously, I'm right outside your house and I'm staring at you.

Well, I have posted a facebook status about not posting my new-years revolution on facebook... I know this this is not read as much, however, and so will contain my revolution.

Firstly, I have a laptop. It has a lot of memory, two memory sticks and uses Windows 7 Professional as an operating system with Microsoft Office 2010 as its programming (Internet is Firefow... The only use of explorer is to download Firefox.) I am not using it currently as it is upstairs. Feel free to steal it, it's only slightly my highest value item.

Secondly, I have not capitalised facebook on purpose, a hwhile (Family guy reference) ago I noticed that the logo of facebook has a lower-case 'f' to help promote friendliness.

Third off the bat is my revolution: "In 2010, I will experience love from another. That is my promise to myself." Quoted from my first words of the year. For the past three I said "I love Vicky Sharpe" as my first and last words of the year. I don't anymore and do not currently love anyone. (Other than any on the list of people below)

Finally, I must say that I hate my 8 year old sister. She is an attention craving bitch who I cannot find a single good point about. I spent two weeks away from her (But still with my 12 year old brother) and I loved it. Here are some stuff I hate about her:
She lies to get what she wants,
She always gets what she wants,
She does whatever she wants,
She cries and screams when she doewn't get what she wants,
She is really needy,
Her name is not spelt right... Amy should be spelt as such and not as Aimee,
Matt, my brother, always listens to her,
She tries to act older than she is,
She's constantly talking,
Her voice is dreadful,
She's my sister... Anyone with a sister raise their glass of energy drink to this,
I had to make a list.

But on another note, there is a list of people I love:
L... I spent ages trying to think of a first person so that no-one would get mad...
Matt, My brother... Sorry, Bother,
Mum... Self-explanatory,
Grandad, Same as above,
Nanny, Same as above, on my dad's side,
Dad, He was needed in my birth,
Awesome Dawson, My aunt,
Adam Dawson, Cousin,
Sophie Dawson, Younger sister of Adam,
My half relatives excluding Aimee,
My best friend Edward Blow, Nicknamed my mum and I his mum... We are gamers who banter a lot,
All the Blows who class their home as [Their house (Surcurity(I cannot spell it))],
Jacob, The brother of my best friend who lives in a caravan outside the house... I gave him a russian periodic table once... A2 sized... This is called Randomosity Central,
Lightning Farron, Oerba Dia Vanille and Hope Estheim from FFXIII... I love Japan,
Japan,
You know, I'd have to say Moosh... He taught me how to draw Manga,
On the subject of people I haven't met: Matt Tuck, Saul Hudson, Matt Bellamy (That's the good way to spell Amy) and any other musicians,
Your mum,
And finally:
My Cat, Speedy and all other cats in the world... Especially cat-girls.

Well, that is all so long and good freaking night everybody.

A little FYI

I should really find something more random to blog about...

Guess what? I've been ill since Wednesday! I haven't been excused from school, however. Luckily, I have continued with my projects...

The first thing is that my Anime Drawing is getting better. It is now just like classic Manga. Unfortunately, some people have called Anime a 'gay' style. In my opinion, if I wanted to draw like they do (A lot of lines that barely resemble anything) I'd become a tattooist. I draw Anime because it is fun and  my imagination can give the characters a story.

The second thing is that I have finished the story about Josh and Hannah. Yep, more pretend. It's in my Facebook notes but please, drop a comment if you want to read it on here. Josh's personality is inspired by myself, while his name comes from the glorious frontman of Crimson Solace. Hannah's personality is simply my dream version of Hannah the fake version I have created to understand humanity (This applies to everyone but myself.) She is completely inspired by a classmate of mine who shares the same name. I have not, and do not want to, read Twilight. I say this because apperently my story is simular to it. Stephenie Meyer, you've got the talent of a Fifthteen year old. Grow up.

Games. Both classical and new. I have been playing Pokémon Diamond quite a bit as... Randomosity. I love Pokémon. I have also been playing Halo Reach, FFXIII and Gears Of War 2, however. THe reason I have started playing these games again are simple: New fun. Halo Rach is fun to make maps on, after modding everything you have an awesome gametype. FFXIII can unlock me my favourite profile pictures... I also love Lightning and Vanille. GoW2 is...
...
Gory. And has bots. The one thing that is needed in Halo: Bots. AI are awesome, they allow for replayability, hours of fun and (Judging by the amount of games I've played on GoW2) really grabs the attention of the player.

That is all. Thank you for reading. I like to use an Elpisis every now and then, I possibily overuse it.
