I'm not feeling too good.

I think, lately, I've been on a really good run of not getting ill too much. But today has been bad. I've felt ill all day, and now I'm aching, I really don't feel so good.

Luckily, I don't have to wake up early for school tomorrow because I don't have any lessons until the afternoon.

Anyway.

I'm going to bed now.

I'm feeling like crap, so I'll probably only listen to some music and then get to sleep.

Night!

I'm really sick

Of doing back work now. I'm not being funny, but that's all I've done is redraft my individual investigation. I mean, I know it's on a subject I chose. And something that I find interesting, but the interest kinda goes away after you've done it like, what? Forty different drafts of it.

I really hate it.

It seems like I've finished it for now. I hope I have because I might just go crazy if I have to do it one more time....

Anyway...

I'm going to go to bed now...

Night!

Can't be a long post

My mum is turning off the wifi soon because she's sick of having a flashing blue light as she's trying to sleep at night.

It's making it really difficult for me to do late night work.

Not that I do much of it anyway...

Moving on.

So, I've basically done nothing all day, and I've done nothing all night. Of course, but would you expect me to be doing work at this point?

Nope.

Well,

Anyway.

I'm going to bed now.

Night!

I made my first and second choice

Universities today.

I was really nervous doing it, but, to be honest with you. Since doing it, I haven't really felt any different.

I've put Surrey as my first choice and then Aber as my second.

It's one of those moments of my life that are going to change the outcome of my life.

I knew I wasn't going to be staying close to home.

It's not that I hate my home. I hate Swansea. I find that there's nothing in Swansea worth staying for. I mean, if I had someone with me, something that I liked about Swansea, then I might be more accommodating. But there isn't.

Nothing about Swansea persuades me to want to stay here.

I do just hate it here.

This is just something I've been feeling recently. It's not bothered me until now. Until I've started wanting to go far away to University. I've always known I want to go far away for University. The idea of staying home for university just sickens me, and I really don't understand how someone would even want to consider staying here after living here for 18 years of their life.

Two of my friends are staying in Swansea.

Oh, well,

Not much I can do about it really...

Moving on from the awfully pessimistic thoughts...

I'm going to bed now...

Night!

I should have really explained

That I wasn't going to be blogging yesterday.

I was at a party, and any chance of getting me to blog in the state I was in yesterday was basically non-existent.

Anyway. It was a good party, though, I did wake up a little disorientated and feeling ill. And since then, like every part of my body has been aching.

I guess I must have done something last night that I don't remember. Or did some sort of drunken work out....

Moving swiftly forward.

Going to bed now.

Night!

So, I'm thinking

Friday's will probably be the 'post a new chapter' day of the week. At least then, I'm on a schedule of writing, and it's something I can keep up with and something that's stable for me.

I mean, I love writing, but I can never find the time to write anything down....

So, here you are:...

Chapter 1

The group of people in front of me had not said another word.

“Where are my friends?” I asked.

“Do not worry, they got back to Ovid safely. It’s just you that got here.” One of the group replied. After I’d been left standing there gawping at the news that they’d just given me, the group went off and did their own thing, only one stayed behind to make sure nothing happened to me.

“So, why am I here?” I asked.

“Because you know where the Tome is.” He replied monotonously.

“Look man, I told Nicholas this, and I’ll tell you this, I have no idea where it is. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” I replied, anger slipping into my voice. One thing just went to another. I never got a chance to relax.

“Trust me, you’ll find it in yourself to remember soon enough.” He replied.

“And how do you figure that?”

He didn’t answer. He turned on the TV.

“No news has yet to be given about the whereabouts of Danny Istari or Danny Smith. Though both families are grateful for the return of their children.” A news reporter said. I looked up at the TV. There they were. Hayley and Jesse being held by their crying parents.

“No serious injuries have been found on either of the two teens. Which leads us to question why did Danny Smith and Danny Istari get such fatal treatment. More information will come your way as we receive it.” The news reporter finished and the TV channel was turned over.

“Happy now that you know you’re friends are okay?” He asked snidely.

“I guess so. When do I get to go home?”

“Soon.” He replied. What’s with all this damn vagueness? I hate it all.

“Why am I here?” I aksed the leader of the group. “And I don’t want some vague crap answer.”

“We have been ordered to protect you. From the magicians.”

“You do realise that I’m one of them too, right?” I asked, staring at him suspiciously. He wasn’t telling me something. Well, he wasn’t telling me a lot.

“Yes, we know who you are. We’ve been aware of your escapades as Istari and human.” He said to me, but he didn’t look at me as he said it.

“So, why are you trying to protect me from the magicians?”

“Because you’re not after the Tome.”

He left quickly after that.

I have to get out of here.

“Danny Istari. We need you for something.” One of the many members of the Resistance said to me. I didn’t even bother attempting to get their names. They all look the same to me.

“What do you need me for?” I asked, walking into the room that I’d been directed to cautiously.

“What we need you for Danny Istari is a mission of utmost importance.” The leader said, looking at me with seriousness in his eyes.

Hope you enjoyed. This one was slightly longer than the prologue. I'm basically trying to do the same as last time, where the chapters got longer as the story goes on...

Anyway.

Got a team building day tomorrow for Greggs. Should be fun...

Night!

To be honest with you.

I don't really have much to talk about.

So, I'm just going to give you the Prologue to Forget, which is the sequel to Remember. (Which can be found here under 'Do you Remember Me?' Which was the working title...)

Have fun!

“We are the Resistance.”

“The what?” I asked, stupefied.

“The Resistance.” He answered simply, it was not helpful. I couldn’t sense that they were magicians, so the group in front of me were humans, how did they know I’d end up here? Who are these guys?

“And what’s the Resistance?” I asked.

“The Resistance are an elite group of humans, joined for the cause.” The cause? This guy can’t get any more vague; obviously he’s winning millions of awards for being the most vague guy in the universe.

“What cause? I wasn’t aware that there was a problem…”

“We defend the Tome. We will do anything in our power to make sure it doesn’t get into the wrong hands.”

I was officially stumped. I did not know what to do in this case. I didn’t even know what the Tome was to begin with; let alone what it was supposed to be now…

This is currently in first draft mode, as is with everything else I write on here. And it's not all that long, but it's a prologue, it's not supposed to be long...

Anyway.

Night!

450 blog posts!

I think this can count as some sort of achievement, right?

I know I've been particularly bad so far this year when it comes to posting on my blog, but lately, not much has been happening enough to post on my blog about.

Well, not that there was much last year either. But last year, I would talk to you about my latest obsessions, do photo blogs.

This year, I've been severely lacking the motivation.

No.
It's not that.

It's just time is so short at the moment, it's like, one minute, I have the time to blog, but then I remember something I haven't done.

Usually, the thing I haven't done is the thing that takes priority, so my blog kinda gets neglected.

Maybe I should make it like a April Wish to start blogging more.

Or actually start posting bits of my stories again.

Like, I'm on like chapter 5 of the sequel to Remember, I've written about 10 chapters to Pyro (I never posted this one. It's on fictionpress, but not here...)

So, maybe I should start doing that again. But instead of making it like a daily thing, like it was last time, but a weekly thing because I don't have the same amount of time as I was when posting it last summer.

It's always about time these days, right?

I'm quite the slow blogger. But I will get into it, as we get closer to the summer, I will start having more to talk about.

For example. I'm going to Malta for a week. I'm going to London (hopefully), I'm going to Leicester for Alcon.

So, there should be a little bit more to gush about.

Anyway.

I'm going to bed now.

Night!

Ah, the joys of English Lit

So, I've been doing my English lit coursework for tomorrow.

My English lit coursework this year is really big, but only one piece.

Mine is on the darkness of the human mind using Poe, Carter and Tennessee Williams. It's been going okay, and I've finished it, it's just going over it and making sure that everything is in order. Taking it to the teacher, getting her to ridicule it. Taking it home. Working on it. Getting the teacher to ridicule it.

I do kind of want to get an A, so I'm willing to redo it as many times as possible.

Not much else to report on the home front really.

My headband came today for Catrin's party on Saturday. Should be a load of fun.

Anyway. I'm going to bed now.

Night!

Not really much to say

To be really honest with you. I've been really lazy today.

That's about it. I haven't been on the animeleague forums all day.

Though I did start watching Claymore. Has anyone seen Claymore. I've now seen the first episode and I'm not exactly sure if I want to go on with it. It does look quite good, but whether I have the motivation to go with the series is beyond me....

Not much else to report on my end.

Night!

I didn't blog yesterday

Because I was asleep....

Seriously. I was working all day yesterday, and then after work, my sister met up with me and we went to the cinema. Then, literally, straight after going to the cinema and coming home. I went to bed. I was just so tired.

So, on to today.

I registered for Alcon. I was the 280th person to register. Though, I don't really understand their whole paying thing, I'll just email them tomorrow and ask them. Or go on the forums and ask. There's always some way to ask.

Anyway.

I finally got my hair cut. So, to be a little more descriptive. Before today, my hair was down to about my hips. It was seriously long, but stupidly long. I couldn't really do anything with it. So I got it cut.

It's now just a little bit past my shoulders and has loads of layers in it. It's actually a LOAD lighter than before. I never really noticed how heavy my hair was unless it was really wet. But it's a lot lighter, and I noticed that as she was cutting it.

Anyway, you probably don't want to hear about my life stories, do you?

Night!

Sorted out the problem

With my bank. Wasn't much to worry about really. They didn't really explain, but they thought something unusual was happening to my account and they'd blocked it.

Anyway.

I've been catching up with my Bleach lately, and it's been quite good actually.

Then, one last thing to say before I leave. And this one, I'm so damn excited for, that I really don't know how to contain myself...

I'M GOING TO ALCON IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!

Yeah.

That was it.

But I'm so damn excited that I can barely contain myself, just the thought of it makes me so damn happy.

Anyway.

I'm going to watch some Bleach now...

Night!

I think I may have a problem

My card doesn't seem to be working online. So, I went to the Santander website to see if I could recover my password, but it kept coming up telling me that my information didn't match up with their records, and I'm thinking, how can that be wrong? I mean, I put everything they wanted down on the form and they kept telling me that. And now my account has been blocked because I tried to access it too many times.

I'm getting quite panicky about the whole situation because there was a thing awhile ago where Google told me that someone might have accessed my account. Meaning, they probably got my passwords, but I changed my passwords immediately and then deleted the emails containing the passwords, so I don't know where I've gone wrong to be honest with you. I'm so damn cautious when it comes to buying things on the internet.

Damn.

Anyway. There's not much else for me to really say...

Night!

I really want to go to Alcon 2011.

I really wanted to go last year too, but last year it was kinda an over 18s only thing, and since this year, I'm 18, I'm definitely able to go. So I was looking at their website to see when it was, and to my utter surprise, this year its a 16+ event. Which, I don't mind, because I would have been able to go anyway, but it would have been nice of them to do that last year, right?

Moving on. There are currently like four problems with being able to go there.

1) Getting people to come with me.
2) Getting there in the first place.
3) Getting an outfit for the ball.
4) Affording it all.

I think it's more of a case of me learning when to say no when it comes to buying new things. I mean, I can certainly stop spending all my money, but then, I've got a holiday to Malta coming up, a holiday to London, and then I want to go to the London 2012 Olympics and then there'll be Alcon which is going to be up in Leicester. So, that's like a 7 and a half hour train ride away. Or like a 6 hour bus ride.

I'll mention it in school tomorrow and see who would like to be going, because I'd love to go so badly that I can't bear the thought of not going. Know what I mean?

I really hope LittleKuriboh will be going, I'd really love to meet him there...

Or DarkSideIncorporated. I'd love to meet them too.

Anyway, I'm going to bed now.

Night!

I applied for my London 2012 Olympic Tickets

Today. I really want to go, I love watching the Olympics, more as of the last couple of years than before, but the atmosphere is what is really going to be amazing. I've applied to go to see the Tennis and the Athletics on the 3 and 4th of August.

I really can't wait. I really hope I get the tickets because it would be a one in a lifetime opportunity.

One thing the weren't lying about though was the price! It's darn expensive and I was going for the cheapest tickets that they were offering!

Oh well, what can I say?

On another good note, they found a four month old baby in the rubble in Japan. I was literally crying with happiness (I know that's a little of an overreaction...), but I do feel so happy for the family that got their lost baby back. Alive and well too. That's one strong willed baby, and I hope that the family live happy together for the rest of their lives because that is such an amazing thing to have happened after all the bad stuff that's been happening to them lately.

There is at least some hope for these people, and for me, today, that came in the form of that baby being rescued from the rubble. That baby can live like that for three days, then I'm pretty sure that the whole nation will live through this tragic event and they will overcome it, and become a bigger and better nation. They will be able to look forward and think 'yeah, I survived that'. I really do want the best for everyone of them, and I do hope that they make it through it.

All I want is for the swift recovery of the nation, and for everyone to be safe again.

Lady Gaga's We Pray for Japan bracelets.

Have finally come to the British store. I've been checking like everyday, I was going to buy them on the American website because they didn't seem to be making an appearance on the British store.

Luckily, I checked, and there they are!

I really want to help out, and RedCross UK isn't accepting my card details so I'm going to get a Lady Gaga wristband instead.

Before buying it though, I need to ask my sister if she wants one too, and then I'll probably buy one for her too. They're £5 each, but I don't mind, anything to help.

But yeah, that's about it....

Night!

So, I went on the

RedCross UK website today to donate money for the Japanese Earthquake Relief appeal thing, I was planning on donating, because, I care for other people. And Japanese culture is always something that I've loved and would hate to see destroyed. That, and, of course, it's terrible what's happening out there and I want to do all I can from where I am. And at the moment, there is nothing I can do besides offering my money to be used in the most efficient ways possible.

Sadly, the RedCross UK website just wasn't accepting my money. It kept telling me it was failing. So, what I'm going to do is go back tomorrow and give it another go. I do feel terrible about what has happened and want to do everything that I can to help them in getting back what they've lost. It's terrible what's happened to them, and I hate sitting in my room, watching them as they suffer. I'd love to be out there helping them. I'd love to be able to do more than just donating money. But, sadly, I am only 17, and with no training in that kind of stuff, and really, I'd be more of a hindrance than any help at the moment. So, the only really helpful thing I can do is to give my money to the cause.

I do seriously hope things get better for them. They've had a rough couple of days, and they really don't need to suffer anymore.

It's been a strangely long day

I know. I think it's more or less because of how tired I am.

And that earthquake in Japan. Isn't it terrible? I've been watching some of the videos of what happened there, and it's terrible. I feel really sorry for them. I know that there's not much I can do for them from my computer chair, but I will be donating money to help them when I find a charity set up to give money. It's one of those situations where I really want to help, but have no idea how to help. I'm going to be giving money, and that's the only thing that's come to mind.

I do actually feel terrible for them. It's not a good situation, and things don't seem to be looking up for them at the moment. But I'll be thinking about them, and I know that they'll be okay. They are the most prepared country for something like this.

Lets just hope that nothing too bad happens again now.

Night!

It's been a bad day

And I'll just leave it at that.

It was exam results day and lets just leave it at they didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Well, I knew that they weren't going to be going all hat well anyway, but I didn't expect them to be that bad.

But yeah.

Going to bed now.

Night...

Feeling a little depressed, so I didn't put the '!', you know, just to emphasise that.

So, it's results day

Tomorrow for our January exams, and to be honest with you, I don't really want to know.

I know I've done majourly bad in my Maths exam, and I know I didn't do all that well in my Welsh exam. So, my only hope really is that I do better in my English lang, because I felt that that exam went okay.

So, not much else to say. I watched a new episode of xxxHolic, the series is getting better, though I'm finding it quite hard to get into the series, know what I mean? I'm just not finding the addictive quality that I usually get from other anime's I've seen.

Anyway.

Not much else to say really....

Night!

I don't know what's wrong

But I'm feeling awfully tired all the time at the moment. I mean, I'm tired when I wake up, I'm tired all day, I'm tired going to sleep. Only for the cycle to keep going.

I think it's more of the fact that I haven't had a proper decent night's sleep in a while now, but I don't have the time to lay down and sleep properly. I'm always doing something.

Moving on.

So, we had school pictures today. I've always hated picture day, and I didn't really do anything for picture day today. Same old hairstyle. Same old smile.

I hate it all.

I hate having my picture taken.

That's about it really.

I really want to write, but I can never seem to get the time.....

Night!

So...

I finished watching Ghost Hunt this afternoon. Somehow, I didn't feel satisfied. Again, another anime where the manga seems to go on and the anime just suddenly stops. It was really starting to get good too, with the whole Naru and his psychic powers.

But oh, well, I guess you can't do much about it. I'm going to start buying the manga, and reading that. Same with D.Gray-man, though I know that I can read them over the internet, I want to support the mangaka. Should be fun. I'm going to start with like, one a week. So say, one D.Gray-man, and then one Ghost Hunt.

Sounds like a plan. There's currently 11 Ghost Hunt manga volumes and 21 D.Gray-man, so obviously at some point, it's going to break off to be just D.Gray-man.

Good fun.

Anyway.

I'm going to bed now.

Picture day tomorrow.

Good fun, eh?

Night!

Been watching a new anime

Called Ghost Hunt. Okay, so I guess it isn't exactly new, but it is for me. D.Gray-man was new for me and that series has been finished in anime for what? 2 years?

Anyway,

So, I said yesterday about telling a story?

Still not happening. I'm still no exactly sure about what's going on, so I'm going to have to consult my sources tomorrow and see what I can dig up and then report back here.

God, I think I watched too much Ghost Hunt. I hate the fact that I've had to go behind her back, but she never tells me anything. Like, I found out from everyone else about what happened with her boyfriend and she never uttered a word to me.

Though she did text me looking for sympathy I never gave.

Anyway.

I'm going to bed now.

I was woken up stupidly early by one of the cats who thought it would be a good idea to go and throw up all over my stuff...

Anyway.

Night!

So, I was totally

Planning on blogging last night, but me having had something to drink, and I managed to drunkenly get in the shower and sort myself (quite proud of that one), ready to wake up early the next morning for work.

All in a days work, right?

Yeah.

So, I haven't really got much else to say. Well, I do, but it's not something I should really talk about until I know all the facts.

I'm still getting facts on this one.

Bare with me, not sure when I should be getting some more on it, but should be within the next couple of days.

Lol, I love how I make it sound like some news story gossip.

It's just gossip from my life, really....

Anyway.

Night!

Long day tomorrow

I'm not actually going to school tomorrow. I only have one lesson, and even at that, I have to be leaving early. So, I'm just not going to go in.

So, I'm staying home to do my individual investigation for the Bacc then I'm hoping to do some English Lit coursework. I'm also going to go to Morriston and get a card for a girl who's 18th birthday party I'm going to tomorrow night.

So, it's going to be a long day, though, hopefully, a bit of an eventful one.

Anyway.

I'm going to bed now.

Night!

That's a short blog post, right?

Just to let you know. I've just finished rewatching D.Gray-man, again.

Though, no surprises there, right?

How come...

Times seems to go so slow when you know you've got something to do, but goes so quickly if you haven't? I mean, I know I slept most of the afternoon away, but that can't be helped, right?

I hope not because today has just gone by so fast because o the fact I've had no homework to do by tomorrow.

That, and I have four free lessons tomorrow morning.

Good times, eh?

Not really.

Anyway.

I'm going out partying on Friday night for a girls 18th birthday that I haven't actually seen in like 2 years now.

She says she wants all of her old registration class there, which'll be kinda awkward, but, I'm not staying long because I have to be working the next day.

I'm going now.

Early for a change.

Well, it's not exactly early, but earlier-ish than normal.

Night!

I seem to be keeping

Up with my homework quite well at the moment. When I sit down to do it, after like, an hour of deliberating, I end up thinking 'I'll have to do it anyway, so why not do it an not get a shouted at, instead of getting shouted at and then doing it?'

It's always one of those situations. I don't particularly like the idea of getting my head ripped off.

So, yeah, keeping up quite well at the moment.

In fact, the essay I slaved over doing last night, the other people in the class convinced her we didn't even need to do!

I was actually quite angry about it because I had actually done it. I guess I know how Ffion feels every time someone does something like that.

Anyway.

Not much else to report really.

Internet went down again today. I actually panicked a bit because I had to email some work and it wasn't working.

Good thing it came back, right?

Night!
