Symbology is good and all, but this year is gonna be exuberant and fun!
Hence, my new diary is called "3-2-1-letsdance"
See you over there :)
* * *
The problem with my new year's day was that I was atrociously sick for the whole of it. I mean SERIOUSLY. I threw up and managed to plaster the toilet seat, cover, box, and even the back wall. I'm so heinously glad that I refused to stay at some lovely people's house because I'd have been quite the handful!
So tomorrow (Thursday) will be my new year's day. I'm sure I'll be well enough to think upon the day as a new beginning instead of a nightmare that I wish only to sleep through.

Symbology is important to me. And so the dawning of 2008 is an important time in my life. It's not just another day, it's a fresh new year where past mistakes can be left behind. It's a new chance to grow. As part of that symbol, I'm discontinuing Water-To-Air. The theme of this diary was a year of pulling myself together, in a sense recreating myself and learning to stand again. The name came from a song I'd posted earlier, in a chorus which went "Fall back again. Crawl from the warm water. Water to air. You're on your feet again, your feet again." I meant something to me... probably more than the song intended, but hey. But while I was mercurial, the events, scenarios, and environments around me stayed the same. Sam dramas, same places, etc. And I've neglected my spirituality, replacing it with a love of the material and the commercial. I'd like to move away from that. So this year for me is a Year of Change, and a year whereupon I build from the foundations and strengths I've already made for myself. I've just tried to get the name I've wanted and it's taken. And so is every permutation of that name, so I'll tell everyone what the new name is soon.
If you feel like reading, you're most welcome to add my new diary. If not, no harm done. :)

I don't know when it happened, and I don't fully understand why.
It may have been because everyone is out playing on a PvP server and there's no longer anyone my level to game with. Perhaps it's because I've been playing for so long. Perhaps it's because every level is just a slight variation on the environment, mob, and grind of the levels previous.
But tonight I logged into my account and did not have any urge to play. I just looked at the screen for a few minutes and turned it off to watch Ocean's 13.
Something may be wrong with me...

I got a lot of cool loot. The highlights being a new camera with superior zoom, two t-shirts in retro gaming styles, a computer game (that doesn't run on my computer until I get a new copy of Windows XP), and a cheesecake composed of 8 different slices of cake.
Life is good.

I'll post more later :)

As found on a webcomic I've started reading:

Players expect the game world to make sense. They want verisimilitude. They want carefully planned characters with believable motivations. They want arduous attention to detail.

Unless you're talking about loot, in which case they think nothing of getting a $1,000 Longsword in exchange for rescuing a $5 pig.

I was going to tell everyone and wrap it up in a parable, or some life lesson, or just insight into Iain-world. But nothing really fit...
Errol knows that I failed university. He's fine with it, and is waiting patiently for me to decide what to do. I'm going to need a while to exactly what that is, and probably try and get that Warehouse job that's a good possibility. I may go back to Uni, I may go to WinTec. I may even go to Melbourne for a while and come back when Errol goes on his Europe trip. Whatever I decide, I know you guys will accept it. You may not be happy about it and I'm sure I'll hear about it, but yeah. :) I do appologise for making so much out of this only to tell you two days later that nothing has changed, except that I'm no longer stressing out.
When I told Errol, all stress left. Until I find something else, the sun is shining. But for now all is good.

Because I have nothing of dramatic substance to post about, I shall instead bring a meme from a friend's journal!

Stolen from crsg. Describe me in one word.... just one single word. Leave it in my comments section. Then post this original message on your journal and see how many strange and interesting things people say about you.

Tonight is my D&D game. The heroes are descending into the depths of a dungeon that hasn't been seen by eyes for at least 500 years. It's the Craft Shrine of the Cormanthyran Elves, and they're deeply afraid that they'll run into constructs of varying types. ...and none of them have adamantium weapons.
Silly, silly heroes. Since when have I done the expected?

In the space of a week I've managed to insult someone's cooking, leave a mess in someone's kitchen, call someone ugly without meaning to, insult another person into thinking I hate him, and spoil the upcoming plot to the most important show in the history of the world.

ALL of these just needed the simplest of forethought to make go away. (How hard is it to write **SPOILERS**?!)

So I aint posting on here, or doing anything untoward at anyone's house (I'll sit, and interact only) until I gain this forethought. I'm due to level up any day now... I'll take it as my feat.

I can power slide on Mario Kart with greater ease.
In fact, my best time on Baby Park is now 1m:13s:007ms. I've unlocked the Staff Ghost!
Now if I can learn to "double dash", then I'll be as good as I'll want to be.
Best lap time: :0:10s:370ms

The Pirates That Don't Do Anything
* * *
Spoken
I’m the sum total of my ancestors
I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we carried them around either with
This long line of people
That goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
And we say bring together the lines of me

Song

When I look back over the years
At the things that brought tears to my eyes
Papa said we have to be wise
To live long lives
Now i recognize
What my father said before he dies
Vocalize things I've left unsaid
Left my spirit unfed for too long
I’m coming home to my family
Where I can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me my ancestory
Givin’me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way
Would you rather I quit
Come with the other @!#$
Making people's hips sway
Lip service I pay but i´m nervous
I pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
Like a lifeline I light lines cause my compassion is deep
For the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
And this is who I happen to be
And if I don’t see that I’m strong than I won’t be

This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
Than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
In his resting place
I made haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture

Chorus:

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You’re on your feet again
Your feet again.

Hello Dad,
Remember me?
I’m the man you thought I’d never be.
I’m the boy who you
Reduced to tears
Dad I’d been lonely for 27 years
Yeah, that´s right
My name´s Bob
I’m the one
Who landed the popstar’s job
I’m the one who
You told look, don´t touch
I’m the kid
Who wouldn´t amount to much.

I believe in the senses sight and sound
I have always been too loud
Wont you help me drown it out?
I’m what I feel
What I´m feeling is surreal
I’m a mass of spinnin’ wheels
Always digging in my heels
Now I got the faith to

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You’re on your feet again
Your feet again.


Lace up your boots we're going back to the roots
Speaking to my ghetto youths freak freaking for loot
And nice things, better check what your future brings
It's now and your forefathers for the knowhow
Go now into the world without hatred
Use your head
If the needle is wise be the thread
And weave ancestral wisdom, yours by birth
Spreading the Lords word over this broad earth

This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he told me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
To my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You’re on your feet again
Your feet again
For my culture

Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
your on your feet again
your feet again

for my culture
