Buffet Island!

I originally declined, but the boyfie and I went to Buffet Island for dinner. I did originally say no but he really wanted to… and he pulled the puppy dog eyes on me. I just can’t say no when he looks at me with his big brown eyes like that! Glad I gave in, we had an awesome night out. At least I think so.

Food was amazing as always. The best ever prawn toast. No skimping! Though both Adam and I came back with a bad tummy and a headache. We ate too much. XD Though I got a migrane from the prawn toast… I have a mild shellfish allergy. My throat itches and I get a headache. I only had a couple of little pieces so no itchy throat really which was awesome. I had half as much as I used to eat there and was stuffed. Guess thats another piece of evidence in regards to my weight loss. My tummy is starting to shrink. Though lately, I barely have an appetite. Concerns me a little because I’m scared it’ll make me really ill because I really just don’t feel hungry and it only takes a few mouthfuls to make me full… Not sure what to make of it to be honest. None the less, dinner was fantastic. Yummy yummy yummy! Also had eyecandy of a waiter. :3 And I walked in to a different one. I was so embaressed! Lol! Annnnd! Another waiter, the only non-asian there, and American black man. Politically incorrect term I am aware. He looks just like Sazh from Final Fantasy XIII. No joke! Was waiting for a chocobo to fly out of his afro. He was so cool! I wish I could have gotten a photo…

We both got a phone call in our meal… from the same person, inviting us out. There are many secret joys I had in that moment that I really can not explain here. None of them to do with the phone call itself or the person calling. I wish I could elaborate. But if I do, it may get me in to trouble with some friends of mine. I’ve had enough of internet drama to be honest. Even if it is my blog.

Ears burning much? This morning I was on the phone to my mother, she asked in regards to Adam’s working hours. Adam went to the Fort this morning [Its a sort of mall/shopping centre for those who don't know] and I wasn’t expecting to see him until he got back from work, but he dropped in for just short of half an hour before he had to dash off for work, leaving me to look after his Resonance of Fate game. :p I only played it for around 15 minutes and I wasn’t to impressed to be 100% honest even though I’ve been wanting to play it for a long time. Disappointment. :C But maybe it will get better. He took it this evening to play himself at some point though. He knows I’m more interested in Final Fantasy XIII right now. And we’re still playing through Resi. He was exhausted so he went about midnight after we re-did 4-1.. or was it 5-1? The one with all the treasure. XD So we could upgrade our weapons and such. C: I love gaming with him. Doesn’t ever get boring! For me at least. Sometimes, I find myself randomly smiling.

For some reason, we’ve been a bit mushier than usual as of late, too. But I like it. I really do. I feel so special, loved, warm and fuzzy on the inside. The nice sunshine helps. Yes. I really do love that man.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Is it really that rare to find a female on CoD? Seriously?

In all of the games I’ve been playing the past few days, I’ve come across only 2 other female players. What is with that? I know its not a “girly game” but surely female gamers aren’t THAT rare?

I’ve been playing CoD a fair bit the past few days. Getting a lot better at it, too. Yay me!

Whats been rolling is about 11am, I’ll go online, then spend most the afternoon playing CoD till about 4:30pm where I go do the housework and things that need to be done, go out, etc. Then about 11:00pm, have another few games till around 11:30, then Adam and I are blitzing through Resident Evil 5.

I originally had 4 achievements before we started blasting through Resi together, now am at 18. Got the livesaver and a friend in need achievements. :’) Really enjoying it! Wont last though as I have other things to do, too. And we’ll complete the game, but right now, its nice, enjoyable, and fun.

Feeling so loved up the past few days, its unbelievable. And the weathers been gorgeous. Huge contributor.

HOWEVER. Severn Trent ftl >.> I haven’t showered today. Yesterday I had to have a bath to get clean and wash my hair because apparently, found out after calling up today, theres a major leak locally and its facking up our water pressure. >.< I hope it is fixed soon… :/ I hope I’ll get to have a hot shower in the morning. I hate having baths in the morning, makes me so sleepy…

I has an Xbawks

I have finally gotten my Xbox. :D Yay. And of course, the Xbox Live subscription I bought when I borrowed Adam’s has till about mid-June on it, I’m all good. :D

Awesome win yez.

Now I can finally finish playing Resident Evil 5 with Adam, and no split screen, yay! And Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Overcoming Anxiety

I made a couple of videos on anxiety for anyone who is interested. The support so far has blown me away as I only posted them last night!
Heres the links.

Then the next one will be where I was to where I am now, then future periodic updates and answering q’s inbetween. :)

If you have any questions, you can ask them here http://www.formspring.me/mnemosynex
They can be about anxiety if you want me to cover it in a vid, or any other things like my artwork/photography and such, or anything else. I won’t be linking it to twitter though as its kinda irritating. XD Ask whatever you like and ask as many seperate questions as you like. :)

I appreciate it. <3

R.I.P Maddie

She was older than me, been there for as long as I can remember. So I’m really gutted. Might sound silly but I’m trying not to cry now. :/

Shes had issues with her eye for a couple of months now and they operated and such, but it turns out it turned cancerous in her brain… At least she wont suffer anymore I guess.

Happy Eatster

Yes, eatster.

People only seem to care about the chocolate eggs and stuff. In fact, people are always munching them /before/ easter.

I dunno, I’m no Christian, and I’ve never really been big on easter, but this sort of irks me just a bit. But hey, thats just me, what would I know about values and stuff. >.> I dunno, thats just what I reckon.

I didn’t get and chocolate eggs for easter. So I got exactly what I asked for. I asked that nobody waste their money buying them for me this easter, and this includes Adam. Well, he bought me mini Lindor eggs as they’re 3 for £1 in his work place but thats because they have no regular Lindor.. He didn’t buy them for me for easter, he bought them for my hormones. Haha. Well, I gave him the money and asked him to get me some and he did, as well as ginger cake as I’ve been sick lately, but he bought me some more himself.

He also bought me a big boquet of flowers which are just gorgeous! I will put a picture up as soon as I can. Though they’re not as fresh and pretty looking as they were now… its been a few days.

EDIT: Pic :D

Speaking of pictures, yesterday I got a new digital camera, just a cheap £50 jobby. A point and shoot. Its just not that easy to carry around a big ass dSLR in your bag all the time and the fear of it being stolen doesn’t help. I like to try and be prepared to take pictures and I always have my phone camera, but I needed something more. And thus, I bought me a point and shoot. Not given it a proper test yet, but we shall soon see. Yus. Its an Olympus and its salmon pink. XD

Fail

Okay, so I didn’t do too well with the backdating thing.

Adam went to Italy on the 18th, and came back on the 28th.  I got to see him on the evening he got back! I was shocked and delighted! We had cuddly time, it was so weird. I had to get used to him again, honestly, very strange to me. Cus I’d got used to him not being there when he was away, just barely, and I hated it, but I had to cope without him and then he came back and feelings came rushing and now I dun wanna let him go again. Haha. Everyone is glad hes back because I shut up about him now. Well lies.

I never shut up about Adam. But I stopped whining how I missed him. :3

Quite a few events happened, and I may do those backdated posts on day, but for now, I’m just gonna try keep up to date with recent events rather than focus on backdating or I’ll get even more behind.

Okay…

So I suck at this “staying updated” buisiness.

Will backdate some entries and post soon, as much has happened. Especially over the last fortnight. Will probably start with more recent events and will try to update more often from now on… hopefully. Yay. Quick summary? I am getting a life. :D

Sleepovers and Parties

So yesterday was my grandad’s birthday, Happy Birthday Grandad!

But as there were no plans, I ended up at my friend Johnny and Ruth’s Engagement Party. I’m quite amazed at how well I did in the situation I was in. Was a little bit anxious and wanted to back out several times, but I didn’t. I figured, I fared through Jimmy Spices, I can handle this, and its not far away or anything and my brother even went. [He went to Junior school with the pair] I managed fine. It was a pleasant evening actually.

Photobombing is fun. But where the fuck is Adrian looking? XD

Can’t help having stupendious cleavage. Lulz.

Around midnight, we, meaning my brother, Adam and I, stood outside talking to a couple of the bar staff who were lovely, who were watching out as people wern’t allowed in to the club after 11pm and they were going to have a lock-in. We decided it was time to leave and took a cab back home. Yay. I then packed and stayed over at Adam’s for the night….

I wasn’t feeling so good, I think it was the mixed drinks [Double Cherry Sourz and Lemonade, and Jack Daniels and Coke? Oops!] and nerves. D: But surprisingly enough, I slept rather well, and it was nice. I even went so far as to have a shower in the morning and such. [I never shower when I stop at someone elses house! :o ] Well, I do now. Felt soo much better for it, too. Was a nice night. Then I stayed most of the day and helped clean the house, cleaned out the cats litter tray which, I might add, was full of shit, eww, helped Adam muck the dogs yard, also full of shit, sort out his hammy, vaccum upstairs and down the stairs and then I was knackered. I felt so ill I ended up just lying on his bed for the rest of the day until early evening where I came home with Jess. [Jess is my friend and also Adam's brother Mat's girlfriend] Tiring, but very nice. :D Oh and I went on the bus. And I wasn’t at all anxious! :D

US school district spied on students through webcams

A school district in Pennsylvania spied on students through web cameras installed on laptops provided by the district, according to a class action lawsuit filed this week.

Lower Merion school district, in a well-heeled suburb of Philadelphia, provided 2,300 high-school students with Mac laptops last autumn in what its superintendent, Christopher McGinley, described as an effort to establish a “mobile, 21st-century learning environment”.

The scheme was funded with $720,000 (£468,000) in state grants and other sources. The students were not allowed to install video games and other software, and were barred from “commercial, illegal, unethical and inappropriate” use.

The district retained remote control of the built-in webcams installed on the computers – and used them to capture images of the students, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court this week.

The ruse was revealed when Blake Robbins, a student at Harriton high school, was hauled into the assistant principal Lindy Matsko’s office, shown a photograph taken on the laptop in his home and disciplined for “improper behaviour”.

According to Robbins, Matsko said the school had retained the ability to activate the laptop webcams remotely, at any time. Backed by his parents, Robbins filed a lawsuit on behalf of all students provided with laptops by the school.

The suit claims a violation of the privacy and civil rights of the students and their families and accuses officials of violating electronic communications laws by spying on them through “indiscriminate use of an ability to remotely activate the webcams incorporated into each laptop”.

It claims that since the laptops were used by students and their friends and family at home, images of “compromising or embarrassing positions, including … in various states of undress” have been captured. A school district spokesman, Douglas Young, did not return a call seeking comment, but told the Philadelphia Inquirer the district was investigating. “We’re taking it very seriously,” he said.

In a letter posted on the school district’s website, McGinley said the district had installed on the laptops a security feature that allowed the webcam to photograph the computer operator in the event the laptop is lost or stolen. He said that following the suit’s filing, the district disabled the feature amidst a review of technology and privacy policies. He said the feature was activated only to help locate a lost or stolen laptop.

“The district never activated the security feature for any other purpose or in any other manner whatsoever,” he wrote. “We regret if this situation has caused any concern or inconvenience among our students and families.”
