Well the college term has finished for this year and i now have the 3 weeks off that christmas brings for everyone within the eduction system. To be honest im not a massive fan of christmas, mainly because our house becomes a flocking point for my mothers side of the family and ends up being pretty cramped as well as the fact that i get kicked out of my bed so that my uncle and aunt can sleep in it, which is always fun to endure. But also because i feel that christmas has lost its festive and social significance, giving way to the forces of commercialism and is nowhere near as good as it was when i was younger, thought you could debate that point ad infintum.
On the upside, my flip video camcorder came today, which means i can finally make some outside videos without looking stupid by carrying around a digital camera, which is good and should prompt me to go back to putting videos on my own channel. I also bought a selection of things off of the itunes store, so i have a little nest-egg to work through over christmas (angry birds pun uninteneded) i just hope that christmas passes with minimal fuss and that i can prep for my exams in january with little interuption, which is unlikly given my procrastination preference.

Barnacles
so im not too sure why this post is called what its called, but hell just roll with it! =) (actually a Spongebob reference but feel free to make your own analogies on what it means)
so ive seemed to have run into a string of problems of late that i feel i need to express to the group (metaphorically speaking) and while i have a small readership (of 1 ;-) ) im just gonna put this out there and see what happens.
Problem 1 - Nanowrimo - now im full to the brim with ideas and won't deny that my imagination is a little bit out of control, but thats not the issue here, the main problem im having with nanowrimo is the urge to keep writing and stay focused on the job at hand. Now im not the greatest when it come to concentration and i frequently procastinate (for example this simple blog post is going to take me about 3 hours to write on and off. EDIT: coming back to complete this 2 weeks after i started it, should show you my problem =/) and its this issue i contend with and due to i have fallen severly behind in nanowrimo and desperatly need to catch up.
Problem 2 - Love - Now as you may have seen my recent vlog on the Fellowship of the Ning about how ive never had a girlfriend and never even been kissed by a girl, you may get where this comes from. Now ive never been sure how to interact with women that im attracted to, just treat them like you would any other friend and hope for the best has what ive gone with so far and tbh its been supremly ineffective =/ so i need a new plan, desperatly so as im still newish in the college enviroment and people haven't figured out how wierd i am yet, so that gives me an edge (so to speak =P) Now as ive also said in the Fellowship vlog, ive got my eye on a few people and seem to be getting somewhere with one of them, but i just have no clue what effect ive had so far, whether she's actually interested or if ive creeped her out like so many before her. =S so this is my dilemma and advice is always appreciated if you deem it fit to be given =)
Problem 3 - Laziness/Sloth - I am a lazy person, i know and admit that. There are a thousand possible ways i could be better spending my time, but i don't, perfectally (physically) content to carry on doing nothing, while my mind regales against it with avengence. The problem i think is that society has eliminated the need for us to go outside, perfering to stable-herd us into our homes and fill it with conviences that distract us and prevent us from actually needing to go outside. Even this laptop that i am writing this on is included on that list as it elimates the need to socially physically interact via the means of facebook & twitter and while it does have it merits as a communtity grouping device (i.e - youtubers) i sometimes long for days long past where people actually had to do all of thier communication face-to-face or by letter (or that could just be from playing too much Assassins Creed =D)
there are thousand more issues i could mention and explain, but i have neither the attention span nor the energy to do any more (probably more my laziness playing its role again =( ) so feel free to comment and give me some responses.

Me and Fictional Characters
So this blog post come to you off of the back of a post made by Kayley (owlssayhooot) of the 5 Awesome Girls a couple of days ago, where she talked about fictional characters that she linked herself with and I, in my finite and lacking wisdom, decided it would be a good idea to do my own version of this topic as I also find myself relating to the characteristics of various characters in various forms of fiction that I see in myself and can idenitfy with as well as being probably influenced by in some way or another.
BTW: this is in no particular order, just the first ones to come into my head :)
1) Darren Shan from The Saga of Darren Shan - Darren is usually the first character that comes into my head when i think about characters i identify with, simply becuase of the way he reacts to the way his world changes so rapidly around him is probably the same way i would react if i were in his place. Also the learning about life the hard way, the losing of his innocence about the world that takes place in the early books is something i can identify with really easily becuase the same thing happened to me, admitidly not the same ways as him, but i came to understand that the world isn't a nice place and that people can and will hurt you if given the opportunity. Also his various attributes, his inventiveness, his eagerness to learn "cool" new things when shown them and his ultimatly upbeat attitude in the face of adversity are things i both admire and link with in equal measure, which is probably why i love the Saga so much.
2) Jonathan from The Roman Mysteries Series - Jonathan is another character that i identify with, mainly because of his views on life and his pessimistic attitude towards it, which is something i also suffer from and therefore can understand and sympathise with him as well as some of the things that he suffers through across the series. The growing aspect is also important here as you see Jonanthan coming out of his shell more and more as the books go on, which i link with myself as its something im still going through; being a nervous and shy person like Jonathan.
3) Jon Osterman/Doctor Manhatten from Watchmen - The main reason I identify with Doc Manhatten is to do with just the all-encompassing sense of dissillusionment from the world and society that he has throughout the novel and the inability to comprehend why people act the way they do. I can really identify with this sense of detachment and distancing from mankind as well as the inability to understand humans as i share the same cold logical viewpoint on life as him as well not seeing the need to show emotions as they simple hinder you efficency in life. It may sound very wrong to some people, but this is just my view on life and it simply comes from seeing humanity as it is, a chaotical, uncontrollable force that could destroy itself in an instant and is in desperate need of some control.
4) Arthur Penhaligon from The Keys to the Kingdom series - I like Arthur becuase he is me, in a sense at least. There are my tales out there of the reluctant hero, but Arthur is the one i identify the most with because he is pretty much the type of reluctant hero that i would be, just doing whatever he could to get his life back to normal with as little fuss as possible. Also the way he interacts with new people is admirable to me and he can get them on his side with relative ease, thought that may owe more to the type of people he meets.
5) Arthur Weasley from Harry Potter (you shouldn't need a link for that one =P) - Now this list couldn't go on existing without at least one character from the Harry Potter books being stuck in somewhere and though it may seem like an odd choice, the charcter i identify with the most is probably Arthur Weasley. The thing i link the most with is his eccentricity, the enthusiasm for things that most normal people would find and probably most importantly, the excellent father figure he plays, which i hope to imitate someday. I may not be a jolly as he is or have his knack for invention, but i share his love for all things different in this world and appreciation for them as well.
I could go on for a while longer talking about various other characters and how they are similer to me or what i admire about them, but i suspect that you wou get bored of them, so i'll stop there. Fiction all the way, now and forever!! =D

Transitional Phases
Okay, so ive been doing this blog for about a month now, and while i know im not just gonna launch off like a rocket when it comes to followers, im a bit suprised ive yet to aquire a single follower, so if your an idle follower of this blog and haven't bothered to follow me proporly because no-one else has, please be the one to start it off and win some brownie points! =)
Anyway, this week is what is known as "reading week" at College, which is basically the higher education version of half term (or mid-term break for you americans) and really its just an excuse for our teachers to saddle us with a ton of essays and other bits of work to see what we've learnt so far in the subject. So far ive made little progress into the work (one essay down! =D ) but im not very good with the whole "knuckle-down and get it done" type of thing, i have a preference for procrastination and generally don't get the work done until the last second, so we'll see how long it takes me to finally get everything done, which will more than likely end up being sunday evening.
In other news im going to see RED today with a few mates, which should be an interesting experiance as i tried to get more people to come but most were "busy" today, which makes me wonder sometimes if i generate some kind of repulsion field that make people try and avoid me =/ i mean i know im not that interesting, but do i really bore people so much that they avoid me?
But thats enough of me moping about my problems, i should also pick up Iron Man 2 today as well, which will be good cause i absolutly loved the first one and the second one looks just as epic (somehow i missed out seeing it at the cinema, same with the first one, go figure) will also update you with my mums reactions when call of duty: black ops, the nerdfighteria shirt and assassins creed brotherhood show up, should be a treat! =)

Living on the Edge
hello people, sorry its been a while, but i've been caught up in the whirlwind of college life and its meant i haven't really had time to sit down and think about what im going to write (that and im lazy, but ignore that =P)
now its half term, which for people who live in the UK well know, is a week we get off school during the middle of term to relax and do "revision" on what we've learnt so far (guess how many people do that =D) and so im not too sure what im going to spend my time doing. I have got essays for each of my subjects that need to be written before we go back, but im trying not to dwell on that and think of something better to do. I might either go and see R.E.D or Dispicable Me sometime during the week as i haven't seen a film recently (and might see if i can get a girl im interested in to come too ;-) ) but then again i might go see something completly different instead.
I also ordered a ton of stuff online before the start of half term, with the first suppliments from amazon having arrived and the first section of things from play.com arriving 2mmorow hopefully. now i haven't told my mum the extent to which ive ordered as she disapproves me ordering stuff without consulting her first, but oh well we only live once, might as well waste our time as best we can =D. Ive got 3 t-shirts from play.com arriving 2mmorrow hopefully, including one awesome that replicates iron man's chest plate and one advertising my favourite band, Muse. I also bought a cheap Watchmen one and i also am meant to have a Nerdfigteria shirt shipped soon, though i need to get in contact with teefury about it as i should have shipped by now, but ive had no confirmation =S. finally i have both COD: Black Ops and Assassins Creed Brotherhood: limited codex edition on pre-order for when they release, so it should be fun to see mums expression when these come in, hopefully she doesn't ask how much all of this stuff cost ( £180, but don't tell her that ;-) )
anyways thats enough of my rambeling, as always check out my personal youtube channel: www.youtube.com/TheAssassinsClaw and my collab channel: www.youtube.com/fellowshipofthening as both need subscribers!! =D

Escapism on a boring Saturday
so yeh the whole write on every other day thing didn't end up working out, sorry about that. But sufficed to say, i've settled into college life reasonably well so far, although there are likely some facets of it ive had yet to learn, but they'll come with experiance i think.
it was interesting yesterday on friday, cause at college we had this charity day based around the Jeans for Genes idea, tho because everyone always wears they're jeans into school most days anyway, they decided to alter the concept a little bit and decided to instead make it wear your pyjamas to school day. this was interesting as well as eye-opening, i had no idea so many people wore onezees to bed =P no, but it gave me an insight into what other people wear in bed and also gave me an excuse to walk around in my dressing gown all day, which felt very Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy-ee =D
now its weekend and i've got a bunch of homework to do, and i have can't be bothered right now, maybe later when im more focused. on another note, its come to my attention that there is no national/international day in celebration of Doctor Who and for that reason a group of nerdfighters have decided that the best day would probably be the 23rd of November, because that was the original air date of the very first episode of Doctor Who aired in the UK, so spread the word around and hopefully we can make it as big a day as National Towel Day, which is the day celebrating the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy series.
anyway, i think i'll finish up with a quick review of The IT Crowd season 3, which i zoomed through last night cause i was bored: ITS AMAZING!! there you go =)

Collegification
so today marks the end of my first day of college, it was what i expected in most ways and in some ways it wasn't, but i'll get to that in a bit. first of all i wanna gripe about the distance i have to walk in order to get there. Sure im not exactly the most althletic or healthy person on the planet, my ideal day involves eating pizza and playing video games, not travelling long distances, but walking 2.2 miles, 4.4 in total each day is a little annoying, but i digress.
Classical Civ was pretty interesting, the guy we have for it is called Ivan Barisnikov, so i was half expecting an ex-KGB type of guy with a harsh Russian accent and possibly a bit of an alcohol problem. But no we instead have a middle aged balding man from London with a wierd combo accent and a Hello Kitty obsession, so good times. People in the group seem decent enough and i have a friend from my previous school, which i wasn't expecting, so i have high hopes for the group and out of my three lessons i had today, it was my favourite.
Philosophy on the other hand wasn't as good as i was expecting, the room was quite hot and stuffy as well as the fact that i left the room with a minor headache (wether thats to do with the room or just the fact that doing Philosophy or reading it gives me a headache i'm not sure) Sure there was a bit of eye candy floating around in the lesson and the people we intelligent, but our teacher had one of the most boring voices imaginable and didn't really endear me to the subject and he seemed to lack any real enjoyment and enthusiasm for the subject. I will however, stick it out and see what happens.
Finally Physics was a bit of a surreal experiane for me at least, because i sit next to a guy in it called Carl that i swear i know from somwhere, but i didn't get a chance to quiz him on where he had come from or where he had been a school before, so i'll try and find out if i used to know him or not. There was a girl in that class that was quite well endowed, that i swear i know from somewhere as well, but i didn't make conversation with her and probably never will, a shame but there you go. Apart from that the lesson was pretty standerd fair i guess, tho im not quite sure what imaging has to do with physics exactly, but its been ok so far and hopefully won't get too number heavy.
So overall my first day wasn't too bad, while i would have liked more people in my classes that i knew, these new faces will hopefully endear me to make new friends and spread my pathetic little wings a little. I'll do another one of these on Wednesday and Friday i think as a kind of week update thing for this week at least and then maybe continue, but im not sure yet.

Snowboarding with a touch of Instrumental Blues
so today im going with some of my friend from my senior scout patrol over to our local ski centre to have our first snowboarding lesson. Im not too sure how i feel about it to be honest, ive never been the most adventurous person in the world, and im don't really have a high pain tolerance, but a year or two ago i had my first skiing lesson and i really enjoyed it and i regret not continuing it.
So i guess my main objective here is to see if i enjoy it and if i do, to make myself continue to learn rather than shy out of it and regretting it for a long period of time afterwards. For someone like me that can be pretty difficult, but its one of the ways i intend to set out and change myself for the better, whether that happens though remains to be seen.
in other news i still have made little to no effort to learn to play either my guitar or ukelele and my own sloath in this matter is beginning to annoy me, i want to learn them, but my brain seems to refuse to put in the effort to learn. any suggestions on how to get over this would be appreciated.

College Trepidations and Junk Food
So at the moment im just sitting in front of my computer, listening to Lucie Silvas on youtube and waiting for the time to tick over so i can walk up to the college im starting in a week or two for my Enrollement interview and i have no proper junk food to consume, i know - total disaster.
Im not sure what my thoughts are on starting college in a week are really, i know i'll be glad to get back into a routine after about 2 months of sitting on my ass doing nothing apart from the occasional youtube vid and forum posting, as you can probably tell, i have a very active social life.
I can tell its gonna a difficult experiance for someone with my nervous dispositon, with the whole making new friends and all that kinda malarky. But its a new beginning for me and hopefully i can use that to leave some of the mistakes that ive made in the past buried and move forward into a new age of enlightenment. Bit cheesy i know but still i have to believe i can do better otherwise whats the point in trying?
my stomach is moaning at me that im not giving it enough attention but theres nothing i can do about it right now, it'll have to make do with an apple and a sideorder of juice.
I really need to start learning to play my instruments.
Im not sure what my thoughts are on starting college in a week are really, i know i'll be glad to get back into a routine after about 2 months of sitting on my ass doing nothing apart from the occasional youtube vid and forum posting, as you can probably tell, i have a very active social life.
I can tell its gonna a difficult experiance for someone with my nervous dispositon, with the whole making new friends and all that kinda malarky. But its a new beginning for me and hopefully i can use that to leave some of the mistakes that ive made in the past buried and move forward into a new age of enlightenment. Bit cheesy i know but still i have to believe i can do better otherwise whats the point in trying?
