Predictions from Nostrodamus, or even me:
-Ireland will win the World Cup
-I will get a C in Psychology
-I will get a B in Maths
-I will get a D in English Language
-I will end up with at least £1,000 after the holidays
-I will be fired from my job before the holidays
-We will be hit by some foreign object from outer space by 2005(because everthing seems to be happenin' then)

Tired? Not bloody likely

'My Spider Sense is tingling!' I thought to myself, as I woke this morning. Luckily I responded correctly to this sense, as I prevented the twin from having another hypo. However, I am seriously concerned for his welfare as they are becoming far more regular than what used to happen. I need a way to be certain he'll be fine at university, or at least instruct those around him about what to do in case of such an event. Maybe I worry too much.

Collector's Edition: Not!

Well, it was had. Gamestation has a (battered boxed) copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. For 60 squid. What to do? I will ignore it. It will be quite a bad idea, but I figure that if I get that, then I'm gonna want more! And more! And not play on those games! But merely collect! Gah ha ha. Well, maybe not, but I don't really feel that I should have the game. I'm also £20 short, but that's beside the point. Quick thought: for that annoying song 'Bodies' by Drowning Pool, they shouldn't be saying 'Let the bodies hit the....floooooooooorrrrr!' but 'Let's go to the....supermarkeeeeeettt!'. Good vibes, tiddly-peeps!

Get the mentality

Adam thinks he should start referring to himself in third person. Adam believes that's a good idea. Adam should be doing revision. Well, Adam has noticed it - wrestling is going downhill. Another introduction of an old wrestler will be suicidal for the WWE(Adam'll never get used to that) - see what happened with Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, along with a load of others. Adam believes that new, refreshing talent is necessary, with great new angles - Brock Lesnar is OK, but Adam expects more! With someone else, the Mean Street Posse would always be welcomed by Adam, regardless of not being able to wrestle, but they were funny. Adam wants to try one of those vegetables from Mario Bros. 2.

Face it: we're not going to win

Well, after some more studies of the World Cup chart conveniently placed in my Maths class, I must say, England are screwed! Not only are we('we' as in the English National football team - doesn't actually involve 'I') having trouble accumalating to the climate, but the other teams are clearly superior! At least we'll beat Sweden because of their natural climate being very cold. And if we don't back our national 'team'(a bunch of individuals, more like), the Japanese would! Those 'little Englanders' can certainly show something good.

No sheep, Sherlock

Well, there's one week in college left. That's one week with many people that I will never see again. Strangely, I don't seem to care. No emotion about those I've known for a good part of my life. Null void. Maybe I should reveal my secret, that I am actually a twin. Oh dear! For I have said too much. Aaah, bollocks to it all.

What's in is not

Well, as The Vadars have said, 'I think I'm turning Japanese'. Yes, this World Cup is going to spark off a massive interest in all things Japanese - as if that hadn't been happening already. From what I've seen, the Korean Republic has had it's values ignored - probably because our country would think those values aren't 'special', or we haven't got a stereotype for them yet. Anyway, those who were already interested in 'The land of the Rising Sun' will probably turn to some other place to find interest. At least stupid kids won't get it mixed up with China...or will they?

Actually, let's not and say we did

Well, I'm getting onto doing revision now. Hats off? No? Well, that surely was deserved. After yesterday, I fell asleep confused, since Ray had another hypo while I was out. I had a dream where 'everyone'(don't ask who, it is merely 'everyone') decided to take a 'plane to Liverpool. It took me an hour to realise after I had woken up that you can't get a 'plane from Southport. Anyway, 'everyone' kept asking me 'Why didn't you go?', to which my reply was 'because I'm not 18 yet'(the same excuse I have for not being a Ride Operator at the fair). Strangely, I went to this new city(Liverpool, but not as we know it) and saw a live version of Crazy Taxi happening. I searched for a building, and found out where the ultimate fights were taking place. The end. Strangely, this dream made complete sense to me.

Let's go to the fairground

With one hour to go before I leave the house for 'the job', I recently recalled something that happened at the fairground once. 'Twas some guy's birthday, so we got to go on many things for free. Near the end of the visit, I went on 'The avalanche'. It was OK, but I felt very sick afterwards. Believing myself to be content after throwing up a lot, I was convinced to go on 'The River Caves'. 'Fine', I thought, 'A nice, relaxing boat ride. Of course, I didn't know what the other peeps would do - get off the boat, rock it like mad, climb all over the scenery - thus forcing me to throw up off the back. Yes, I was sick on 'The River Caves'. I wonder if they've ever cleaned that water...

The Buttocks

Well, it must be said: there are no sexy nurses in Britain. No matter where I go to visit ill relatives, all I see are annoying, patronising fat people who don't actually care whether the individuals are getting any better. 'When is it my break?' they whimper. That's not what the leaflet said.

Johny kick a hole in the sky

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Marvel vs Capcom 2 is the bee's knees. Where else can you have a fight with Jill(Res Evil), Tron Bonne(a weird PlayStation game) and Spiderman on your team? Probably the sequel, but it won't happen for a while. Meanwhile, not far away, my maths teacher spent a whole lesson explaining where the vector of some diagram would appear. The reply, from a lazy art student in the class: 'It's only worth 3 marks. I'll skip it'. Wise words are never too far away.

Woah, oh-a, oh-a-a-oh

Proposal of the week: I will, in university, try everything to be new. What I want to have is a big-arse editing suite and a digital camera, so I could grab each frame and somehow animate them. If I could convince some excellent artists, that would go a long way, but then it wouldn't be my work. Maybe if I sold my body...! New idea!

VvB

Close, but no doughnut. I nearly thought I had semi-invented a new Mathematics theory the other day, but it didn't work in practice. I was very close, mind. In other news, Solid Snake is in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Now that is very groovy indeed. I am now contemplating whether to have taken Maths at university level, as I seem to have a knack for it. My parents would get pretty pissed, although I would enjoy Psychology. I suppose I'm better at answering questions that involve working out and not opinions, because 'my opinions are wrong'. So much for that then.

You're jealous? Doubt that I shall.

Well, sucky job started. Real arsehole of a team leader slated me for not knowing what to do, even though it was my first day. Of four. As soon as I am 18, I will change the job type. I just feel sorry for those who have that job for a good while. And I'm gettin' less pay. Meanwhile, Wyl gets £4.30 for a game which he could attempt and have fun at. Oh well. It could be worse...surely?

Goodbye! Hello!

Well, I jumped jobs yesterday. From the annoying factory to the possibly more annoying fairground, but at least I know a 'fair' few people there. Guffaw. It's currently raining, so I don't know what I'm to do but turn up. Getting less pay than everyone else is a little unfair, but I shall live with that for no more than a few weeks. I should change job every month!

Satisfyingly there

Well, it was done - I was the first person in the queue for Star Wars: Episode II in Southport. I didn't quite wait five weeks, like American folk, but merely one hour, where I managed to meet Chris Bannister and Ian Wareing. And some others. What can I say? I don't 'do' reviews, so I'll be brief. It's a great film, possibly better than Episode VI(certainly better than Episode I). Go see, weak-minded person.

'Raxel' from Fighting Vipers IS Eddie Van Halen

Well, for some odd reason, my younger brother bought in copied games courtsey of 'a mate'. I couldn't complain, but why does Crazy Taxi 2 have four really similar songs all by The Offspring? The least they could have done is put in those Methods of Mayhem tracks('Stop moaning!' they rightly say). Anyhoo-ha, I will book Star Wars 2 tickets tomorrow, even though I will be missing college - I'm someone who has missed ONE afternoon in both years(due to food poisoning developed from food from the canteen). So the answer comes out: the meaning of life is Experiences, and all philosophy is the same, and double standards are allowed. Thankyouandgoodnightagain.

Rub this in your ear

'It's just a game' is probably the most detested saying in the world(aside from 'Sticks and stones...'), as that kind of logic can be applied to anything. 'It's just a pen'. 'It's just your house'. 'It's just jail', et cetera. Well, try telling that to those bods who can't get enough of online games and proceed to quit their jobs just for the sake of playing these games(you know, Everquest, Ultima Online, even PSO). What am I saying? There's no reason for many of these things - mainly because, under the skin of it all, they're shit. Still play 'em, though.

Tycoon Tycoon

The wait starts...here. Only one month to go until Spiderman: The Movie arrives on our shores, around the same time as Res Evil. What's to be more anticipated? Star Wars? Sh'yeah right, as if. Star Wars is Star Wars, but Spiderman...is Spiderman. No word from the place they call 'Southport Pleasureland', but I'll stay somewhat optimistic. Nah.

Wolf in Virtua Fighter has a stone cold stunner!

It's amazing what a trip to Europe can do. On the way back from the European matches, 'some stuff' happened with WWE wrestlers. In brief: many people got drunk. X-Pac shaved off 'fourth rate commentator' Michael Hayes' mullet, thus giving him a skinhead. He blamed Bradshaw when he woke. Ric Flair lived up to his title 'Nature Boy' as he nearly completely stripped, only to be stopped by Jim Ross. Scott Hall got drunk(again) and threw up. He's now fired. Curt Hennig(Mr Perfect) started a fight with new guy Brock Lesnar - they both threw punches, but it was split up by Paul Heyman and Jean-Paul Levesque(HHH). Curt also got his backside fired. Oh well. Austin, renowned for his drinking at end of matches(regardless of most of the low alcoholic beverages missing his mouth) slept all the way, as well as Debra, his wife. Whattastory!

In other news, I got Virtua Fighter 4. Yush! Now I can create a hilarious Wolf, so he can stun his way to the top. With a bicycle helmet.

'Neil! Your bed's on fire!'

Well, it will be done - quitting work at Kershaw's to work at the fair. Getting considerably less pay, and initially getting less jobs than 'everybody else'. Ah well. At least I get to communicate with others. Others who get more than me...grrr. A reason to actually jump forward a month(then back again, for exams). Need revise now. Rrrr. Of course, still be 18, I'm sure there's suppose to be an advantage somewhere...ah, I can't find it. It'll turn up in about 4 weeks, I think.

All I gotta say is 'Congratulations!'

There's a line to be drawn to what is serious and what isn't. Some people on the internet, will happily upload pictures about them having lovely pleasures with old people, packets of crisps and old yoghurt. And the rest, of course, frown upon it. Are we too indulged in wanting to become famouse, stooping to any level? Hell, I might one day. Or I may reach dreams and actually become #shock# known. This does depend on Ray staying alive, but, that's necessary. I'll attempt animations, music, films, even friggin' games. But I won't show those people at home what I could be doing with the neighbours cat that constantly kills birds. Or will I?

I am the King, I am the challenger

Well, there's nothing like going into a shop and deciding not to buy things that are easily affordable. Yup, it's too stupid that I still do it. Virtual On - £3 - didn't buy. RHCP - Mother's Milk - £7 - didn't buy. Roast Chicken Sandwich - £1.99 - didn't buy; and so on. One of these days I'll come out of town with more money than when I went in. How? Magic. Of course, in an incredibly original fashion, I shall be uploading my own art - watch out for 'The Freelance Hand'!

Closer to the edge...

You never realise how valuable life is until something mad happens. Although at the end of the day, everybody was the same, serious shit happened. Without paying attention to his loud snoring, I crept past Ray to go to get breakfast. It wasn't until 2 hours later he was found by my dad with blood coming out of his mouth. I'm sure that if it wasn't for me being relatively strong, he could have snuffed it - keeping an unconscious person on their side is incredibly hard. With all the struggle, the people from the hospital came and injected Ray with sugar, thus helping him regain consciousness. Ray failed to recall any of it, but it was something of hell...I truly thought he would've snuffed it. He is now at home, a relief.

In other news of the day, I realised that there are seriously stupid people on the internet. Somebody on the segaworldweekly forum bought Guardian Heroes on the Saturn for a whopping $75, whilst I found it today for eight quid in gamestation. I hung around that shop for aaages as they were playing Hello Nasty by the Beastie Boys. And there were no Sony execs, so I couldn't win my copy of Virtua Fighter 4. Damnit!

Wot

Well, I bought a second hand Dreamcast - nothing was wrong with it. By my assumptions, the guy who previously owned it took it back because of the poor games he had(on the VM were games like Tomb Raider, crap Dreamcast football game 3 etc). The machine works like a gem, only costing £30 - the only snag I have with it is that...I couldn't get Marvel vs Capcom 2 working. As it is an import, I needed a boot disc - it doesn't work because of the scratches implemented by my older brother(cheers). Oh well. You can't have everything, and I'm happy for what I have. I think...

I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast

Have YOU voted? Well, I didn't, mainly because I couldn't. But, today's topic in Psychology was about Schizophrenia, looking into Delusion. There's a deluded candidate, for Maghull, who promises(no joke):
-Rates £100 P.A
-Semi-detached house for £250
-Weeks shopping for two people from £5.00
-Don't take civilisation control pay or obey them
-Free Transport and University Education for ALL
-We want FREEDOM - don't obey civilisation control - they are stupid
and better roads, schools and services

This guy also wants to give every family £3 million. He'd get my vote if he didn't look like a madman. He also believes that we are fighting a war with beings from outer space, if that helps.

Whatchamacallit

Well, no one in the world has a copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2. In my heyday of 'buying games on import for ludicrous prices', one game was the afformentioned. Now for a new Dreamcast, and, alas! I shall be playing with 50-odd characters again. And now I'm angry at Dixons...for they have named a list of 'the hardest games characters'. Lara Croft is at the top. I should be throwing 'WTFs' all around, and here's who they didn't include:

-Jedah, Vampire Saviour
-Chris Redfield, Res Evil(instead featuring his sister. Weakling)
-Akuma, Virtua Fighter(it said Akuma, Tekken, and I got confused)
-Kurosawa, Last Bronx(a guy who twats the crap out of anyone he meets. Hard as nails dipped in varnish)
-Gordon Freeman, Half-Life(yes, he looks dull, but he's better than Duke Nukem. NOBODY steals from Ash(Evil Dead))
-my guy out of the Sims, as he killed all the people who visited him(thus angering my siblings also playing the game)
-Strider-Hyru
