The music sucked....alot. Pounding garage drove me near to madness and when linkin park came on my and nat escaped out side trying to drown out the..."Music"...so yeah. it was vaguely fun....not too sure i'll do it 'gain sar XP. But im gonna havew my own b-day party this week or the next....proabably the next, gives me time to organise it.

When i think of heaven>I think of flying

I did

And i mean i did type an entrie on monday. I dont no where it went, but its not here anymore....damn.

To sum up my life in the past...whatever for all those who care:

Nothing much has changed im still ontop of everything most of the time. It's gonna be three months with natalie soon which is just fantastic XD. I went to the school debate with Joe, which was very entertaining even tho they got...well thrashed by a pouncy latamer debating army. Quote "They are a army and we're just losers"....well..ok...they did kick ass last round and it was kinda hubbys fault. So we did the right and correct thing and will lie to the head master and claim we didnt win but came second. Husbands (N.b. husbands is cool 20-something, who is my tutur and head of debating ((ROLF)) did howver bring up some good gossip like which teachers secretly smoke and who cant drive, also the whole drugs scandal, which is according to him a set up in which i dopey kid got handed a stolen fone...infact the drugs scandal...wasnt. Me and parth(a friend) are doing this duologes compo... We have to do a 5 min piece of thearte which is made for two people. the best part wins....we hope to...but note hope.

Other than that i sent a valentimes to kirsteen under dave garveys name, pondered if my continual optimism will be my downfall, got credit for my fone, have decieded i will have a 'pretentious' party in which we will all watch a arty film and drink martinis : so far on the guest list is Joe,tom,mark,sara andrhian hopefully that list will grow, and altho i mentioned it to my rents the didnt see too happy. but i will kick and scream till i get my way and my sister alway has people blah blah blah blah.......

My parents dont set any rules

Well not spesific ones, there has been no drugs speach, there is no curfew,there is no anti-smoking speach, altho i think there is a promise of a car if i dont smoke....I guess this is pretty darn brilliant, beacuse if i really wanted i could become a druggie, stay out till 12 every nite. I dont. I figure if my own rules...er...suck. I'm gonna be stuck with actual rules. I tired to expalin this to nat with little sucess. There are more factors than that. I should allow myself 2 school nites out and should of weekend be bak before midnite. But i have the added power of kickass exam results which swing everything in my favour. i dont have to revise for atleast months, and i proved i kan kickass.....Its complecated without relaising it...natch.

I could on about drugs...ok when i say drugs i dont think there are any crack addicts at our school,but skunk hash weed, i dont know the difference altho im assured there is. seems to be everywhere. Hmmm, i ppppersonnaly would hate to be addicted to anything, i would hate the feeling of depenacey and the nagging feeling that i cant be myself with having to take drugs...I would feel, well dependant. like the feelign i get when i wish i could drive so i would have to relie on lifts to any/every/where. Hmmmmm. and it seems to grow on trees here. We all have money and every has the friend who seems to know someone who knows someone. I gave matt a lift home today, was talking to him bout it. Was trying to stiff cough..someone...cough for...i dunno how much but it would costr bout a tenner or sumthing and was charging £25..sneeze someone sneeze had none of it.......hmmmm.......not to say there some way that im gonna grow up without never using it....i cant be nieve.But yeah.I'm still young really.

Nite.

Black rebel motercycle club

The song Iris by the goo goo dolls could be the worlds single most depressing song, odd i had a vagyue craving to listen to it, did and am now back to BRMC (black rebel motercycle club for those who dont sleep with XFM on in their dreams). But yeah, i plan to restart with semi regular service so you can smile, Joe. aNd my er...readers..er...cough.

Yawn, i was ill thursady and friday which means am i under a two days and weekend worth of work, which is happily little, but still a drag, i have to do chemistry question for which i have no book and find a complex topic that i can talk about and explain during a mock interwiew for english,,, i am going to play the sick card.

"Wheres you homework??!"
"I was ill"
"what days???"
"Which ever days deem me eligable to not do the home work."

I dont have a french text book and the teacher still gets mad when i dont have it, you thought the surpirse of me not having a book would of worn off, oh no. I ask each and every time if i can use my own money to purchase a new one, she bats aside this comment of says she doesnt know, or doesnt care. Yet still the glare and vague shouting @ me when i dont have it. Figures.

I still want to set up a real website, i wish there were more weekends, i feel i should balance myself somewhat, i am torn thru vague social groups, (look at me Mr. popular) But everyweek end i want to see nat/go and stay over richards house/see a movie with ahran/go out to harrow l8 with joe and tom/stay at home and rest. But i can only do one of them.

Yes, michaels biggest crisis in life is there are not enough hours in his weekend to do all the little things he wants to do.

Rhian said something and i am not sure what or when but i cant find her old archives something that vaguely lead me down stereotyping myself, she said was she just another teen angster, agsnt being something im very much agaisnt.

I would call it a dreamer, i dont dream and do live in my vaguely perfect world and sometimes dont see how others can be here too. Im not sure why i have it so easy and why other dont, and no i am not going to think about universal sufferage. I would like to count the ways in which i have it just perfect, there would be that many, but its all enough. Optamistic, Meh. Its hard not to be, hmm.

By trying to be mr optamistc and calm center of the universe i sometimes think im setting my self up just for a big fall sometime later when i relise ive been looking at it all wrong, which of course would hurt. Like the 'Whole kirsteen thing' which did near mentally kill me. (N.B. Thinking of sending her a valentime for Garvey) so by trying so hard to find the good things and enjoy them is it all gonna hurt sooner.

Most probably Yes. But at least i can have a good few teenage years while mum and dad are paying for roofs over my head and food and my girlfridn is a 2 minite walk and i have many friends, only a few i really trust, but i still have a crowd in school, and despite anti-americanised high schools sometimes its scarinly like that but luckly im would always be and extra in 'sweet valley high' (well maybe i would get an speaking role in a few stories).

Sorry what am i going on about?

JOE:

Friday Well the mood says unwell but it's not as bad as it sounds. What I mean is that I haven't got the dreaded winter sickness that seems to be going around at the moment. I am, in short, not at school today with what I assume could be called a cold if one wanted to make me sound pathetic. Mike wasn't at school yesterday and I hear that he, unfortunately, has succumbed to the winter sickness. However, I heard this piece of information from Ahran and so it could be complete rubbish. Especially as it has apparently mainly affected the North of England up to now. I have tried to get in contact with him but he seems unable to reply to texts/answer his phone. I hope that I am not soon to add this particular illness to my numerous health problems I have at the moment. It would be far from fun.

ME:

haya joe, nice to see u care ;). No i hvnt got this winter sickness, not too sure wat it is, i feel so out of touch, no metro in the morning and now lun gossip so ive had to make do with "Harvest moon2", "LOTR", 12:30 spin city ;), and briget jones diary to keep me occupies, im surprised ahran hasnt told every im dieing of some form of "Foot cnacer" or bubonic plague ;), i shud be bak by mon and ill try to copme online 2nite, but no pormnises, gonna have a path and wallow in my duvet down stairs with the cat and watch the last half hour of Trisha. Mike

JOE:

Wow you're alive! Good to hear from you ;-) -Joe PS: Am I allowed to link to your clandestine site now? Linking to boxy is become dull seeing as there is nothing on it. Well nothing of any use anyway. Just something exceedingly oddly arty :-)

ME:

Yawn, Still boiling hot and freezing cold at the same time, and im so tired but cant sleep. Just plain odd. Sure u kan link to antidynamic, who reads this now neways? I think i stopped u just incase to stop ahran hving another go @ me ;). and sadly ive never got a comment from hima bout boxy.8k.com, oh well. Just another fine piece of art wasted no? Oh, i found out wat that list is aswell, its used by hackersm to crack paswords ;), nifty no?. I should really be typing this up on my blog....i think i mite just coppy and paste it all acrross, i cant type much either :(, i betta be wekll by 2moro i posed to be goin to camden with nat, and just being ill sucks :(. l8rs mike

Temple clause

I SWEAR i posted yesterday,,, no, i am 100% sure i posted yesterday...Darn.

In short : I did kickass well in my mocks and am getting £100 bribe money from rents for doing well. I would really like to stay here in london for uni. I really want to set up some varity of comdey site, inculding the home depo bet thing. I am gennerally great and think we here have it all. And i am tired and already fed up with games and walking evey day.

Why cant the feeling wen you wake up last for longer? Sigh. Why can i not quite muster the energy to riote a post now, and how comes my vaguely deep post last nite dissapered.

I am watching the "Virgin suicides" in small ten minites installements (i have it recorded on my digibox ((will Xpalin l8r))) it is brillaint if a little twisted and the sound track is blissful.

Star Guitar

Well for those who care:

All As bar a B in chemistry and a B in DT, and a A* in phyics.

I am relatively bored net wise and hence lack of entries,, exams are over so that means so more time can be spent reading other peoples blog, whic i havnt done for weeks, and actually riting here..which has been a lil inconsiistent. What i would however like to do is vaguely attepmt a real website, me and simon are/were planing to do WTHIT, and me and rich have always tried, But id like to have sumting ta do which is vaguely funu nd kan help get me intertsted in journalism...Which is wat i want to get into wen im older. Hmmm, it involves money (of which i have little) and effort (Which is hard to come by).

Meh. Me and nat are doing really great, and just having her so close is jst amazing,, went out w/ her 2nite, saw sara inquired about james bond part, and kindly demanded that she orgainses mine (17th a Feb).

Yawn, Im a creture of habit...so my mum says, but the repitition of skool does get dull and has done already, the xams were almost a break. Odd, I have an over whelming urge to go out now to london wenever i can, some repressed converstion with mark that just surfaced again, Going to uni means going to a city vaguely far away, but i really like london, and well, id like to stay here, Some of my ideal things would be a small flat and local coffe shop a bar and nat. I just think that would be purrfect. odd, id be content with relatively little. Ok...so a london falt mat cost a little more..... but hey.

Why are journalists in tv and cartoons evil ?? Well evil or damsens in distress. Hmmm, and, I've never met a jouranlist...hmmm,.

Also AS level choices have been on my mind,,,,, im open to suggestions for all the peeps i no doing As level now, sara rhian ect.....:P Oh and mail me,, im hvnt got any email for aaaaaaaages ( __ Mich@elanton.com___)

Simon>> You want to see if we can really get wthit set up? It would kickass, no really it would kick huge donkey...water water water water water Alfred (NB:In joke used please laugh and carry on)

Joe said something or other would be just for my type...sorry? My type? Something i never quite realised...other people do see me and put me in a type...while to me im just me...and no thats not a bad thing i type people...and well You are easy. But yeah...he says im alterative...which im all for "If it were the 60s you'd be a hippie" Nothing agaisnt that...but its true and a little well odd

We found a rope swing...well i ddint i just followed everyone to it...it kicked ass....really, a good 20 foot ish tree on the side of a big hole in the ground with a long branch on over the hole and a rope tied to the branhc dangaling over the hole...u bring the rope to the top of one of the sides of the hole sit in a loop of rope and let go...

(Note to self,wen riting N-tree do not go downstairs for a drink half way throuhg)- I am reaidn lotr rings and loving it and saw the movie again, and loved it. I wasnt a fan of it first time round (avoids the ever watchfull eye of Rhian) but now 200 pages into the book and seeing it again i loved it....and no...the fact i saw it with nat had nothing to do with it.On the subject of you I luved the lotr rant and just the post in general...dont keep away for soo long like that :P..and....are there drow in lotr ? Or in ne J.R.R. Tolkien? Or didnt he rite about them :(.....

I fear my PC is dying on me says:

that's odd. cos I *never* get worried about an exam mark once it's done. and I think along the same lines as u have. yes, u r helpless to change it. so there is nothing you can do. so why worry?

Your hanging, your hanging, your hanging with the wrong crowd.

*breath*, finnaly some vaguely free time, my past week has been a mix of exams,late mornings,early nigths,wierd dreams,revison and a general, if a lil subtle, feelin of stress in everyone.

Guess thats just the exams, which are going ok,,,not too good..not That bad. Just Meh. Oh and dont worry anyone this isnt going to be a real post.

A week today everyone will covert to 'mark stress' at least. Which is better...sorta...at least theres a feeling that you've done the exams..all that follows is a few days of regret and...antisipation.

Ed Harcourt roXx. I've had his album 'Here be monsters' on constant repeat for the past three days, i know all the lyrics, and yes i sleep with it on.

I got the random album playing in Nat's mums car when she was giving us a lift (Goo goo dolls/Dizzy up the girl), which was vaguely immpressive, sometimes i think i no too much music. Odd, our hole family (bar my wanna-be-goth-linikin-park-hoodie-wearing-dark-eye-liner-sister) are really into music, it kinda fills up the gap that church on sundays would fill. Which im alll for. (Of course not that i hve nething agasit organised religion....) Sleeping with the radio on means i sing along to some songs ive never heard before, thats a starnge feeling.

Techinacly, i shud revise french and physics today....

Wierd dream: Froze myself somehow and woke up to exactly the same world just everyone was ten years older and now didnt want to now me,and i was left 10 years behind everyone i had ever known, it was really depressing, it just didnt feel like a dream. I woke up cold and anxious and well it was a nightmare i guess. I would hate to be left behind.

Exam stress dream, odd becuase i dont feel stressed, subconcious stress.

...Not too sure if i'll ever see Sara in the same light again...no wait...its still the same light...well a slightly dirty light (if possible) ;). Sounds like you had a pretty kickass time in jamaca. My family decided to forfit our xmas holiday in favour of me revising....which was porbabaly a good idea...but i can still complain about it no?

Spent last nite, trying to infletrate the "I dated mike club", and altho it only stands at two members its still worrying, and so far she hasnt told me what her and K are emailing each other about.(And yes, despite all my ranting i wouldn't *mind* talking to K) XP.

Spent last nite, trying to put doom on my ipaq, its supposed to be possbile but i coudnt get it working @ all :(. so i'll just have to be content with chess and solataire...dull.

Spent last nite, thinking up alterntives to spark's fat project with simon who rekons howard quin and the other guy whose name and can never seem to remember would be up for it. Of course if we did do it we'd need money for food, a proze for them to win, a site, and about 100,000 people clicking on various adverts on our site. But yeah.

Spent last nite, revising of course with no other destractions just a few hours of solid concentration and worrying about the exams i have in a few days time

No...w8...scratch that last one.

Good luck Rich with ur Xams today, i no u said u'll need more than luck.but hay.

your handbags and the gladrags

Exams are getting closer but hey. They are just mocks, so yeah. Got a lil palmy toppy computer-y thing today. Very nifty, well apart from the half broken screen which is kinda sorta important wen its a touch screen (which is the reason i have it, my dads work were just gonna chuck it away but i thought i mite aswell play with it). The up side? I now can look proffesional while say waiting for a train while "re-organising my action items" or playing soliaire only probelm is i cant quite click the deck.Darn. Well that and i now have gail porter mobile number ;) (It was my dads m8 who works for a the pepsi chart show)..So yeah nifty.

Realised i havent really talked about my adventures in bath...not too sure that i wanna ;), We all got very drunk, well every execpt my sis (yes mum dad and friends included), my sister of course thinks alchool is yucky....not too sure how lonfg that will last. But yeah new yrs was a good laugh, im pretty sure i would of had a better time with nat, and ended up speding about £5.00 on mobile to mobile on new yrs eve,

I still want to work here,

Nifty, i just put joe'sstory on my palm top, i can now read it wenever...very nifty.

the girl next door

I'm in the middle of a little emode blitz. But i just did Whats "Your type" and i got :

Your type is the Girl Next Door

Cute, fun, and sweet, your ideal gal is just a stone's throw away — she's the Girl Next Door. She's Sandra Bullock, Doris Day, and Meg Ryan all rolled up into one. Naturally pretty rather than glamorous, she's unpretentious and generous. She loves animals and children, and is great with both. You're attracted to her strong values and traditional ways. Although she demands a lot of respect, she's not particularly high-maintenance. Her ideal date is more likely to be dinner and a movie than heading out for a night on the town. She's careful yet spontaneous — a little bit of the Guy's Girl, a smidge of Sorority Sister (the nice kind), and just a hint of the Hippie Chick. But she's got an appeal that's all her own, which is why you can't stay away. Her winning smile, bright eyes, and loving nature make you want to hold on tight and never let go.

While the lil description thing could really describe any one... i mean WOW, thats just freaky!

Feel Like I'm missed

I'm good, nothing is changing and thats how i like it right now; I've got about 5 or so days before i get exams but its the G.c.s.e. mocks and altho important i am not gonna panic at all about them. I'm revising and thats all i can do so Meh. No email from k or k. So thats good. I'm seeing Nat ever 3-4 days, which is unbelivably great. I am also to lazy to do a real post, so this will have to do.

One sec im re-riting this,Joe sed it didnt make sense

Back ground Kirre is an ex internt g/f who i went out w/ a loong time ago(a few years back). She dumped me i went i away she relaised she was still in love with me we ent out again it didnt work and we broke up, she relisises shes in love with me again but im not and in a few months i'm going out with Kirsteen. Kirsteen then dumps me and im back to talking to kirrie but its not the same as it was and talking to her hurts her and thats how it been for the past couple of months. I decided to talk to her again tonite and she tells me that shes been emailing kirsteen.

He neva mentioned u....u friendly wiv Reean and peeps then? Natalie? I ges it didnt end badly wiv u guys, or as badly as it did wiv me and him neway....... luv Kirsteen

I've been talking to Joe and its kind of calmed me down a bit, but this is omething i could definatly live without. Kirsteen hasnt emailed me yet but im not too sure if that will last.

I mean even the poem on the side bar and the subliminal "Michael urges you to..." one the links...And the main image is just...The blend of that dark gold and silver of the machines.

Thank you

Beware! I've hijacked the blog!

Haha! I decided to post again! Only to say, though, that this layout was made without brushes. I should have explained what I did in more detail so that people can learn from this...

I started with a 3 images of machinery, and used the blending methods (especially Overlay and Screen) in Photoshop to mingle the images. I also used 2 textures, a black airbrush, and some writing that I'd scanned in previously. Fonts used: Violation and Print Error. Then I mixed them all up!

I'd better stop now, or Mike will delete my posts... -_-;

Merry Christmas, Mike!

Before anyone gets confused, this is Rhian here. Not Mike. (I think he's off in Bath, actually, to celebrate the New Year). This new layout that I've just put up is his (Mike's) Christmas present. I spent all today on it.

Here's a little layout info for you: I started by making the main image (which was huge originally). I played around with dividing techniques, decided I wanted just a simple (ha!) single column, and went about making the pipe borders. Then, I split up the main picture and put it into a table. Last of all I did the CSS text formatting and side content. I used Photoshop 6.0 and my A4 Wacom tablet. The html was done in Notepad.

Mike, I really hope you like it. I didn't want to give it to you, I confess. I do believe it's one of my best. But you'll have to start typing properly and in paragraphs, I'm warning you... XP

If you like, you can sign Mike's guestbook to show your appreciation. Or, you can sign mine. It works either way.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
