Fantasy stuffs

Ah, good evening lads and lasses (that's correct, right? Lasses? As in plural for lass? huh? Yeah, it's probably ok). Anyways! Good evening...

So s'up? Things have been pretty... awkward, for me, to be honest... Well, first thing's first... Sorry for missing an update. It really pisses me off when I do that... It's like, I've promised to do 1 thing during this year and that is to be punctual, about this blog, at least... It shouldn't be hard... Whatever... Anyways, I'm back again, this week with not-anything-exciting really, but still, there are a few thoughts I'd like to share. So I met this girl today. Maria's childhood friend. After spending a year hanging out with Maria and hearing stories about them and how their relationship is getting worse and worse as time passes (and after developing the worst kind of opinion for her) finally, I got to meet her, up close. I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised. She seemed like a really good girl, fun and everything and what really surprised me was the way Mary acted around her... She felt really comfortable. It was like meeting a new person. I've never seen Mary drop her guard around other people before. It was really mind blowing, eye opening and everything!

And naturally, speaking of people feeling comfortable with each other, I'll make an awesome turning here, to make a few points. I DON'T LIKE MY GIRLFRIEND! ... Ok, well, that's a lie actually... In fact I like her quite a lot, and I'm really having fun with her, most of the times... However things really don't seem to improve at all. She still seems tense and there are times that I cannot understand if she actually likes me or not. I can't stop myself from thinking that she's with me, just out of obligation (to herself mostly, but still...). Agh... Oh, the other night she asked me if I wanted to meet her sister. To be frank, I really do! It might help me figure Elen out if I talk to her sister or something... Yeah, whatever, really... Things are complicated, but I don't think they're actually bad or anything... I'd just feel more comfortable myself if I could tell what was going through that girl's head. So, yeah I'll change that "I don't like my girlfriend" into a " I like my girlfriend, but I don't understand her one bit" :/.

Ah, and it turns out that there's actually one more person reading this blog. Estorial/Angel, seriously no idea how did he find out about this place... Perhaps he googled my nickname and this came up. In which case, I could be screwed... If everyone can find this, then imagine what would happen if people like... Billy or something start reading it. Yeah... (Blargh <--- That's me vomiting)

To completely change the subject, into something more interesting and less people related... Fantasy stuffs... So today, while talking with Mary and her friend, I realised that my true love and addiction is in fact Fantasy. (I finished reading "The Name of The Wind"... IT'S AMAZING! AWESOME! FUCKING PERFECT!!! READ IT!). Well, it's not like I didn't always know this. I mean, it's pretty fucking obvious, I love Blind Guardian more than... well more than everything, I've been reading fantasy books since forever and... Well, I don't know what else to say, I'm just a fantasy guy. It's not nearly as surprising as I thought it was in fact.

Oh, come to think of it I forgot to mention that Angel is organising a D&D campaign. Classic setting and stuffs, and I'm really excited about the character I'm going to play. Can't wait!

Ok, I've got to escape this annoying mood I'm in, so I'll be leaving you for tonight. Remind me next time to tell you about the story stuffs and meow!

HAHA!

HAHA!

And goodmorning blog. S'up? Things have been pretty... well, interesting is the word I'm looking for. I was going for not-quiet, but it doesn't really describe the feeling I wanna give. Anyways...

Well, seems like I've got a girlfriend now. Yeah, I'm freaking out. I've woken up to this wonderful feeling of agony. My friends seem kinda distant, and when I say my friends, I'm refering to Mary and Marilena(cause Ryan's there the whole time,thankfully). It could be the fact that I've been hanging out with Andrew and the guys lately, and I've been seeing Helen on the spare afternoons. So, that would make it my fault. Hopefully, it's just that and things'll bounce back to normal stuffs soon.

Other than that... What? What would you like to know? Do I like this girl? Yes. Am I in love with her? No. Not yet. I've already told this to Mary, but I think the whole Nina-situation, 8 months ago left me with some severe psychological wounds. And god, that sounds so gay, I can practically see my room filled with pink walls and flowers. But seriously, I've been extra careful around girls lately, doing things mostly because I have to and not because I want to. Well, not exactly like that, but I know that the George I used to be, when it came to girls, is no longer. You know, that guy who fell for every girl that gave him some attention and let his emotions take control and finally get driven down, eating dirt and worms. Whatever.

Still, I think I owe you people a small description. Who is Elen? Well, she's this girl I kinda liked when I first saw her, then didn't see her again and everything, then we were in the same Jap class this year, and at some point we started talking, flirting, going out and since last night we're a couple. The only thing I know for certain, concerning this girl is that she's SUPER SHY. Like OH MY GOD, how can one person be so closed to himself? No idea really. I can't really tell you what or if she has any feelings for me, cause she's actually SO shy that she won't tell me a thing. She's so shy that wouldn't let me kiss her in front of everyone last night.

Meh... I understand nothing. I'm just gonna go with the flow really, see where will the river take me.

On a completely unrelated note, it's really cold outside, my lips feel like thorns since they're completely dehydrated and I want to write stuff! Yes, the other night, me and some people I don't really like got together on a massive msn convo and I began telling a story. They were all, like, amazed and asked me to continue my story, cause I've got uber skills and everything... Right... Yeah, I might be turning into some sort of self-centered Narcissus or something, cause lately, god I feel confident. Whatever... In short, the book I've been reading has put me in a completely fantasy mood and I really wanna continue the story of Prince Dee-di and his party of adventurers!

Anyways, see ya Sarahz, Maryz, Irenez and Jim (cause it's you 4 who've been reading this blog and this is my way of introducing you to each other. Marilena and Nick have completely abandoned it and Ryan was never much into reading shit I wrote).
Oh, also, I've added this chat thingy which doesn't seem to be working for me, but it's working for Irene, so she should know how to fix it. FIX IT FOR ME!

So, I bid you farewell and I hope this puts you in the same fantasy mood I am

Long days and pleasant nights to you

Good evening...

I'm kinda late this time, and if you want to be all technical and stuff, this is no longer the previous week, so some would say there was no post this week. But screw that, in some countries it's still Sunday and I'm in one of those countries for all you could know.

So, this week has been pretty cool, just like the one before it. Things with Helen have been going very good, and generally life seems to be all good and shiny. My creativity has returned, and I'm guessing the book I'm reading (the name of the wind) has something to do with it. I think I've already mentioned how awesome it is, but I don't want you forgetting it, so yeah, it's too damn awesome! Read it. Truth be told, I don't really have many things to tell you. My mind's pretty filled with random ideas for fantasy worlds and the like. So, for the rest of the blog, I'm just going to post the lyrics for the song I'm giving you this week and a small sample of the stuff I wrote ages ago (since if anyone remembers it, I've created this blog to post samples of the things I write as well)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is this guy… We all call him “the time-teller”, although I’m certain he uses another name for himself. What he actually does is, he travels from town to town, fixing watches, clocks, anything that tells times. And when his job is done, he just disappears, leaving behind only the ticking sounds of the time he has restored… You never know when he will show up in your town. But when he does, that’s because he has chosen to, not because they chose him.

Tic tack, tic tock

Time flies by, time is running low

Tic tack, tic tock

The time has come for all to know

Tic tack, tic tock

Time may pass but he never forgets

Tic tack, tic tock

The son of time will revive your regrets

The singing and noise, coming from the center of the city were loud enough to be heard even so far away. Of course it wasn’t loud enough to cover the noise of footsteps approaching. At the dark alleys on that side of Farhnam, very few people were brave or stupid enough to be wandering around at that time of night. Midnight was approaching, and the sound of footsteps was coming closer. Calm yet steady, you could tell that, whoever was walking down the old, brick road was certainly not in a hurry. As the footsteps slowly came to an end, the tall figure stepped out of the shadows of the road, and let himself be bathed by the dim, blurry yellow light of a street lamp. He was quire the peculiar sight, if you had to ask me. He wore a long, red coat, with many silver and golden chains hanging by the just as many pockets. A beautiful white shirt a black pair of trousers that matched perfectly with his black leather boots. Two white gloves and a monocle, and as if to add to the already mysterious appearance, a top hat. With his left hand, he pulled a small chain, revealing a beautiful pocket watch. The man stared at its beautiful carvings for a second before bringing it close to his face and whispering a carefully chosen word. It made a light sound as the cover opened, revealing the insides of the watch. A normal person would probably stare in awe if he somehow happened to take a small peek at the miracles happening in that watch. It was like looking at a caricature of the whole universe… Galaxies swirling, suns exploding and solar systems evolving, the seer amount of energy and colours was enough to drive any sane person mad. However, the noble looked at it for a few seconds, then yawned lightly and closed the cover, putting the watch back to the right pocket. Then, he turned his head around and looked at a specific corner of the road, as if he was waiting for someone to show up there any minute now. And there! Indeed a figure did show up, only fragments of seconds after the man had turned to look. Isaac, cause that was the boy’s name, who had now left the corner behind him, running as fast as he could, didn’t stop, not even when he passed by the strange figure standing under the dim light of the street lamp. He didn’t stop, not even when he saw the figure wink at him with a wicked smile, before turning his back at the boy who was running, his coat turning gracefully, like some sort of cloak. Isaac’s pursuers didn’t take long to arrive at the scene. Of course, by then, Isaac had managed to turn into another dark alley. The man though, had stayed behind, right at the same spot, with the only difference that now, he had turned his body completely, facing the bunch that was running towards the direction they thought Isaac had taken.

“AFTER HIM! HE CAN’T HAVE GONE TOO FAR! SEARCH EVERY ALLEY, EVERY DUMBSTER, AND EVERY UNLOCKED DOOR. IT’S THE LAST TIME THIS LITTLE RAT STEALS FROM US”

“My dear men… There is little reason I am sure, for this ruckus” said the beautiful man who had now approached them and was standing right in front of the crowd. The mob didn’t seem to recognize the man; however he did look like a noble, so a whisper spread among them. The one who seemed like the leader, John Longbottom, a fat, short little man, who reeked of brandy, bowed a bit, his short body making a spasm, as a greeting to his superior and tried to explain himself.

“You see sir, tha little brat that passed by right now, running; he’s a well known thief around these parts, sir. If by any chance you happened to see where he went, could you be so kind as to tell us?” he asked in his loud voice. As he spoke, he resembled a pig, but the time-teller was kind enough not to let the ironic smile appear on his face.

The noble man didn’t move, he only smiled a bit and bowed back, gracefully as if he was trying to teach John the proper way to do it.

“I haven’t introduced myself, have I?” he started, “My name is Jake T. Black. At your service”

“At your service me lord. Now aboot that child…”

John tried to start but Master Jake interrupted him.

“Do you know what time it is, Mister Longbottom?” The smile on Master Jake’s face was showing he was much enjoying this little farce; however, Mister Longbottom was reaching his limits

“It’s half past midnight me lord!” he answered, this time hastily and in a rude tone, as if he was trying to make it clear that he was not amused. “Listen if you can’t help us, me lord, I’m afraid I’m going to have to…”

Once again, the fat man was interrupted, but this time it wasn’t Master Jake’s words. A big leather pouch, filled with golden coins was now lying at the feet of Mister Longbottom.

“I believe that’s enough to cover the boy’s debt, right?” asked Master Jake in a cold cruel voice this time.

The angry men were all staring at the ground, while Fat John was crouching down, shaking, not believing in his eyes

“Well?” came the cold voice again, and John looked at Master Jake with awe.

“Yes sir! Thank you sir!” he answered as he began picking up the coins greedily and shoving them in his pockets.

Master Jake turned his back to the mob and tapped the edge of his hat.

Now it’s you and me, dear Isaac…

The wooden door closed as quietly as possible, in that old, moldy cabin Isaac called a home. Well, not an actual home, more like a hideout for cases such as this one. It wasn’t all that rare for him to run around the town really, searching for places to hide. Thus, he often used abandoned places like this one in order to lose his pursuers and spend the night. The strong smell of wet old wood and rats didn’t make it easy for normal people to sleep, but the boy was quite used to these types of odors, so he didn’t seem to mind.

Ok, so this is pretty huge, so there will be no lyrics, just the song . See ya next week!

AAAND A HAPPY NEW YEAAAAAAAAR!

Goooooooooood evening people!

How've you been? It's been a while since I updated stuff here, so now that I'm officially back, I do owe you a small recap of things, right? Well, aside from leaving this place for a week, and going out on a date with a certain girl that I like and watching two anime series (of which I enjoyed none) and reading half of a book and half of another, there's not much. Actually, no, there are a lot more than that, but I'm like, really bored of describing everything, I've told these stories like a hundred times already. So I'm going to analyze something completely different for once!

Yeah, it's one of those marvelous and miraculous times when everything's good! Well, not everything, and certainly not entirely good, but hey, I'm smiling and for some reason problems don't seem as huge as they usually do... And I don't know what to say really. I went on a date. And it was fun. And I didn't get to kiss her, as I was kinda hoping to... But at least now, I feel sure about this. I like this girl, and I've decided not to look too much into it. I don't know what does she feel, and truth be told, I have no idea of how should I handle this situation, since I'm kinda used on girls hitting on me, instead of the other (proper) way around. And that sounds SO AWESOME! God, I'm so proud of myself, from times to times. Yes I know that I'm a fucking self-centered narcisist, but hey, it's only for a limited time of the year :P. By the way, I've started reading this book, "The Name of the Wind" by some cool guy and it's actually really good! I'd like to live up to my reputation of been a fast reader stuffs, but that needs a certain amount of will power now, since I have to convince myself to not get distracted by other things for almost a whole day and that's nearly impossible for me...

Other than that, I've been having quite some fun lately, and that's also awesome. I've been spending some time with my friends from school, the ones that I haven't seen for like a month and it feels really good actually. I needed to see them, truth be told and have some mindless fun with them. Sometimes I feel really guilty when I don't see them for a long time, like a month or so, but it's always good, when I finally do. Oh! And, and the best part is that... I've completely! Oh, I remembered! Yeah, since Ryan bought his super duper ultra special pc, that could practically kill a person, just with the power of its CPU, I've began downloading a shitload of games for the PC, WHICH has gotten me into a weird mood, of wanting to study computer stuffs(aka stuff for college) and wanting to buy a PC myself, which also means I need to study for college, cause if I surprise my parents by studying, they might give me the money to do so :P.

And I really need to finish Assassin's Creed 2 and the Name of the Wind as well, cause I want to see the ending of both. And I kinda need to arrange some dnd session finally, cause I've had this cool idea! So, until next time see ya all, cause now I gotta go talk to the girl that I know that I like! SEE YAZ!

(Blind Guardian!)
