Hello there. How have you all been lately?

I've been alright. Bored, but in good health.

First off, I know I promised some photos from my graduation, but there has been a slight delay on that. My computer doesn't seem to like me uploading pictures from my camera to it. Once I have it all setup, I promise I will post some pictures. At the moment, the pictures are really dodgy as my dad was the one who took them. Would it kill him to hold the camera still rather than waving it everywhere?

Anyway, nothing new has been happening recently. I talked to Asmera last night, and I'm dying to tell her how I feel about her so that it is over and done with. The only thing stopping me is the thought of a future relationship with her, whether it is just friends who talk online, or... you get the point.

I've decided to show you guys a picture of her for the hell of it. Just so that you'll know what she looks like. This is a picture from our graduation.

I know it's of low quality, but that's the only decent one I could find. I cropped it a bit, because in the original you can see my head in the background.

Besides doing nothing at home, I've been doing some work for my dad. Not paid, as always. I was meant to have a job interview this morning, but the manager told me to just hand my resume in and they'll decide from there. If they accept me, then I'll be working at a Woolworths Petrol Station. What better than cheaper fuel in this heated up economy? Video games of course.

I've also been going to the gym more often these days. I'm actually spending most of my time there as home is just so boring. I've actually lost a bit of weight in the last week. This morning, I was actually able to fit into my jeans quite comfortably.

Also, to occupy myself a bit more, I've started driving lessons with my mum. I've had my L plates for a year now, and finally decided to put them to good use. Strangely, I thought I would be a nervous wreck on the road, but I drive quite well. There is the occasional stumble, but I can park, reverse and do all that other stuff quite well. I've only had three 1 hour lessons, and the rest of the time driving has been a bit of practice. All I have to do now is brush up on my road rules booklet and I should be fine.

I still need to start driving on the freeway, at night, in the rain (even though I sort of did so today), and a few other places as well. I'm quite confident I can get through this easily though.

By the way, has anyone picked up Mudvayne's new album, The New Game? If so, is it any good?

That's it for now.

I look forward to seeing your feedback, and thanks for all your comments on the previous blog.

Take care until next time,

Hello there. How have you all been lately?

I've had my ups and downs, but I guess I'm okay at the moment.

I've been up to quite a bit during my absence from GameSpot. On Wednesday, I had my high school graduation. I know, probably one of the best days of the year, right? Well, yeah it was... sort of.

The whole graduation was fine, I liked it a lot. I was hoping that my friend, whom I was sitting next to, would make me laugh hysterically because of something random. This happened at our Anzac Day assembly. What happened was, while we were having the minute silence, my friends started snickering. Now, they had no idea that I have a tendency to laugh when other people are laughing. This tendency is actually out of my control. I guess it is sort of like something odd that I do. I just have no way of stopping it. So, while they were snickering, I started giggle a little bit, and I was really trying to suppress the laughter. It sort of got out of control, and the next thing I know is that everyone around me was just staring at me. I know it is extremely rude to do that during the minute silence, but I couldn't help it. I've never laughed or done anything rude during any other minute silence I've taken part in. So, this was a first.

Anyway, I was really hoping that my friend would do that at our graduation. There was only one moment in the night when such a thing happened, but it wasn't as good as the Anzac Day moment. Nobody turned around to stare at me, nor did I laugh for that long. The night would have been much better if that had happened though.

All in all, it was a really fun night. The gowns weren't the best I'd ever seen. They were a really ugly blue colour. The teachers got black.

Asmera was there too, stunningly beautiful as always.

Can't believe that would be the last day I'd ever see her again. The only time I would meet her in the future would be if I accidentally bumped into her while shopping or something.

Here comes the bad news though. Right after we got home from the graduation, my dad started whining about me and how much of a disgrace I am to the family. I'm not really affected by what he says and all, but could he pick a better night to say that.

Anyway, I went over to my friend's house on Thursday, even though I'm not allowed to socialise with anyone according to my dad. I forgot how much of a disgrace labourers are to society, according to my dad.

But yeah, I went over to my friend's house and played through most of Gears of War 2. Damn, that game is so awesome. The last two acts in that game were so epic and in your face. Plus, I think I'm in love with the improved Hammerburst, as well as the Mulcher and the Gorgon Burst pistol. More towards the Gorgon Burst though, the five shot bursts are so awesome.

I do have to criticise the Gnasher, and the Lancer though. The Gnasher was so underpowered this time around. I avoided picking up a shotgun for the entire game, and the Lancer didn't feel as good as the first game for some reason. I liked the added power of it, but I was hoping that they would allow you to use the scope on it for a more precise aim.

Either way, one of the most explosive games I've ever played, and I was really surprised by the length of the fourth act as well. I guess it is because I'm so used to playing all of the acts in Gears of War within a few hours.

After I got back from my friend's house, my dad had something to say about what I did, as always.

Well, he was pretty much going to lecture me for the whole night, so I decided to just go to sleep.

Anyway, I actually got the chance to read one of Nada's (PrincessTwilight) blogs. She posted two of her favourite drawings, or ones that she is proud of. She had a drawing of a hand. So, I decided to draw my hand, just to get back into the drawing scene. I don't think I've drawn properly since midway through last year.

Anyway, here's a drawing of my hand.

The extras are just for laughs.

By the way, I might consider posting pictures from the graduation, depending whether my parents took any, in my next blog. No, there won't be any of me. I think I might show myself at a later date.

That's it for now.

I look forward to seeing your feedback, and thanks for all your comments on the previous blog.

Take care until next time,

YAY! Level 20 once more!!!

Sorry for not being online much. Like I said in my last blog, I won't be able to go on the computer much these days.

I'm really sorry for not being able to keep track of people's blogs as well. I promise that I will catch up as soon as possible.

As for the epic battle between me and my dad, it's not going too well. All he does is just whine over the smallest things, expecting me to do work 24/7. Doesn't he realise that all work and no play makes me a dull boy.

I don't have much time to blog about it, so I'll just leave it at that. I haven't gone on the PS3 for about three weeks now.

Hope you all are doing well.
