As I write this I'm exactly 2 minutes and 4 seconds into being 17 years of age, sadly I still only have one hair on my chin and a few under my lip, but I guess the hair in other places compensates for tha-

We're getting slightly side tracked here...

My parents bought me some stuff for my car, so now I look like an awesome boy racer(!) I'll be so cool. -_-' And I have my first driving lesson in 15 hours.

In other news, I'm not allowed to have sex with a girl for two weeks so I win World Of Goo off Huntey, tommorrow is the first week mark, only one more to go! (Don't ask)

Get your credit card ready Huntey! >=]

I bought my first car today, it's a Fiat Punto (Gotta start somewhere I guess) It came with some extras too such as tinted windows and some nice alloys. I'll be able to drive it on the 25th, when I'm 17.

Here's a picture. Orange one.

Also, I went to see the band Architects last night, by far the best band I've seen live yet, I also got to meet the vocalist Sam, he shook my hand and gave me a hug, which was pretty awesome, it's nice to see that being in an awesome band doesn't always go to your head and turn you into an asshole! I also met the drummer Dan and guitarist Tim, so 3 out of 5 of them, I was pretty chuffed. To finish off the night we stopped by McDonalds on the way home.

I also have band practice on Monday, in a disused museum next to an abandoned mental asylum.

I love Wales, full of suprises.

That's all for now!

Christmas is down, New Year's now.

I got a macbook (for college) Windows <3
Studio speakers
Synth keyboard
Logic Pro 8

So I can finally get an edge on my class in college, also lets me record my drums now. Sweet! I don't have anything planned for New Years yet, not sure if I have the confidence to leave me room after what happened yesterday.

Women are animals.

Another Christmas eh? Damn it all goes way too fast!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Oh... And to make this somewhat game-related I spent most of today with Huntey and Habboi beating Dead Air and No Mercy on Expert, 2 down, 2 to go. I guess you could say it was a Christmas Eve L4D game.

Have a good one folks. :)

Halloween is almost upon us(!)

I'll probably shove on a mask and go hang out with some friends, which will probably result in us hiding somewhere and scaring kids. As you can see we're very mature, What about you guys?

Also on the note of Halloween, if any of you have seen the programme Britains Most Haunted, they're currently doing live coverage of an abandoned mental hospital about 5 mins down the road from me from 8pm till midnight every night up until Halloween. I've been to the hospital myself and it's not the nicest place ever. o_o

Even if you don't believe in it, which I don't, I'd still reccommend it since it's funny to watch, and they're going to burn down a church on Friday.

It's also nice to know that my area is called 'Village Of The Damned' I mean, I know we're Welsh, but that's just taking it too far. :D

I've been playing Saints Row 2 today (bar the morning due to female socialising) and It's pretty good! I was hoping it wouldn't be shit since Saints Row 1 was awesome.

It's pretty much Saints Row 1, but with airplanes, helicopters, base jumping, motorbikes and lots more!

So far there is only one dissapointment which is due to GTA:IV having such realistic driving, when you play Saints Row 2, it feels like the cars have super gripping tyres.

I also pre-ordered Farcry 2 and L4D, so all of this has set me back a little.

But who needs a car anyway. :)

Well it was my turn to see In Flames yesterday, and holy crap they were awesome. So since Huntey supplied the pictures, I'll supply some videos.

I'll try find the best quality ones I can.

The Chosen Pessimist (Introduction, curtain falls at 4:10. Amazing)

I was told to give Sonic Syndicate a chance, I'm glad I did, they were great.

Gojira scared the fucking shit out of me, but still awesome.

It was an epic night.

My new webcam finally arrived, it was supposed to come on Friday but it's only just arrived, I opened the door to the mail guy and there were two packages. Strange.

Turns out they sent me two of them, and I only paid for one. <3 Ebuyer.

Anywho, the camera is awesome! it can take some pretty good quality shots.

I sold the other webcam to my friend Liam.

Well I'm back from Leeds, longest 3 days of my life.

We ended up camping on a hill because there was no space anywhere else, so that made sleeping a problem, and the general background noise was very loud.

But apart from that, the bands were excellent, Tenacious D, Metallica and Goldfinger put on the best shows by far! (Jack and Kyle entering the stage wearing a wizard and dinosaur suit was an epic win)

And for all the people who were saying stuff in the shoutbox about Slipknot, when I was walking through Leeds I heard countless people all saying that they were dissapointed about Slipknot pulling out, and I'm sure if you had the chance to see Slipknot who would play about 5 minutes away from you, you would, just to say you've seen them.

Mindless Self Indulgence played instead of them, they were terrible, so they had mud and bottles thrown at them. (Bassist was hot though)

It turns out that Slipknot have pulled out of the Leeds Festival tommorrow due to Joey Jordison breaking his ankle.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS I WAS GOING!

brb hanging myself.

Well I'm back from Scotland, that place is nucking futs! Glasgow was very intimidating since I've never really been to a city and I'm from a very small town in some hills, I don't know how you can walk around so many people and not feel threatened by them... Probably just me.

But anyway, It was really fun, some parts were rather strange but still funny, like a 20 year old woman in a dress with no shoes stumbling out of a phone both and asking us if we wanted to go drinking, so we did, and went camping aswell... What.

But I'm home now, and recovering from my hangover, next year? Sweden!

My life is so crazy right now, I not long ago finished my GCSE's and I'm waiting for the results, It's so nerve racking! I hope I did well, I really need to get into college...

But apart from that, I'm playing a show in a Town Hall (Big Stage) this Sunday (13/07/08) at 2pm with my band, and that's making me pretty nervous too. Why does there have to be so many things making me nervous?

I've stopped mapping completely for the time being, I've stopped alot of things actually! I've been going out and spending more time with my friends and spending slighlty less time infront of my PC. :D

And to top it off, I'm going to visit Huntey next Saturday (19/07/08) which will be in Scotland, so I'm deciding wether or not to be nervous about that since I won't be able to understand anyone. :D

So yeah, I can't wait for this to all be over, I think it's time I start spending more time with friends...

Been a while since I made my last Journal post...

I've been busy helping Hunter with his mod 'Overwatch' and made an underground station, I'm also in the process of making a destroyed version too!

So here are two pictures of a part of the destroyed station I'm currently working on.

Cya for now.
