  • Four Eyes

    Well despite the fact I don’t generally need them other than for subtitles and if i were to drive…(which i don’t) I have finally taken the plunge and gotten myself some glasses.

    It was quite surprising just how much detail i’d been used to missing to be honest, and for walking about town and things it’s a real bonus not to have to guess who someone is until they are right next to me :/

    Being a frugal (AKA Cheap) sort of chap I bought them online for as little as possible but I quite like how they look, so Xanga whats your verdict?

    Yea slight problem here I’m not really the kind of doing messed up things guy…I never go out socially drinking (only ever drink perhaps a wine or beer with dinner) I don’t take risks other than when doing slightly dubious salvage operations for junk :P and generally I live a very sheltered and somewhat dull life to be honest…

    So once again i’m going to be sneaky and answer this ‘creatively’:

    This is Dante…and together we’ve wiped out a demonic army, exploded a giant demon frog with a bazooka, been swallowed by a flying whale and many other pretty messed up things ;)

    He loves pizza and strawberry sundaes, owns a surprisingly large amount of weaponry…and he’s half demon, but he’s got a fun personality overall and is pretty damn cool :)

     

     

  • Highland Cinderella

    I was walking through the town the other day and while passing a playing field I noticed a shoe sitting on it’s own on the grass.

    Somewhat curious but not enough to investigate I continued my usual slightly faster than normal walking pace towards my destination.

    But as i passed a play park to the right of the playing field I became aware of a group of girls gathering near the small fence and their conversation was in someway related to the shoe.

    As i drew closer I realised one of the group was missing a shoe and rather dejectedly hopping while muttering ‘Well I can’t get it I’ve only got one shoe!’.

    Clearly one of the group was responsilbe, one was shoeless…and the others didn’t seem to have the required focus or decency to recover the shoe with any speed so I (feeling public spirited) offered to recover the item for them.

    So I quickly doubled back and grabbed the lost soul (:P hehe) returning it to it’s rightful owner who was hopping over the fallen leaves towards the small play park fence.

    Upon handing the shoe I said “I was wondering why there was a shoe in the playing field” to which her muttered responce was “Yea…because my friends are idiots…thank you” I responded with “You’re welcome” and continued on my way.

    So yea…it wasn’t quite like the fairy tales :/ but at least I can say I have played the part of prince charming offcially now :P

    The person who’s gotten me through the most, errrm well it sounds really arrogant but I think I might have to post a pic of myself.

    There are others who have certainly helped like my Brother or my Dad and Mum…but I pretty much think that when it comes down to it you (or I) are the one that in the end will get you through.

    Relying on others and cooperating is great and should be done…but it shouldn’t be the only resources you have, begin within and then you are standing on firm ground to deal with the external.

    Of course I do also do my best to tear myself down too…but for the most part this guy has got my back :D

    Hehehe :D

    My most treasured item…well I have various boxes of knicknacks and random junk, some of which is important to me but if i’m honest the things that have mattered most to me have mostly been digital, so my most treasured item currently would have to be my lovely 3DS :D

    It’s got awesome games, amazing drawing packages, fun apps and endless reasons to use up hours of my life ;)

    A person to trade places with for only a day?…hmmmm

    Would have to be someone that could offer the maximum amount of different experiances in the shortest possible time…well actually this question is a bit vauge, so to clarify I am taking it to mean a perceptioin swap, keeping the same mind and memories but taking over someone elses body, mind, memories and life for one day.

    So I explain all that to hopefully make my choice of person sound slightly less odd/creepy :P lol

    This is Melissa Hamilton who is aparently a dancer for the Royal Ballet (thanks Google) and the reasons why i’d pick her are as follows:

    1: She is a woman…come on! who hasn’t wondered what it’s like as the other gender?

    2: And this is the big one, she’s a dancer a REALLY good dancer and I would LOVE to experiance her physical abilities and find out what it must feel like to achieve some of the things she can do.

    And thats about all I got, I reckon in one day I’d be able to experiance the maximum amount of difference with her…course the question is to ‘Swap’ places…so it’s a bit of a bad deal for her, although she would get the oppertunity not to have to train or eat right for a day, and basically slob around doing little to nothing hehe so it might not be all bad.

    A Favourite memory is too vauge, so i’ll just pick a good memory :)

    Most times during summer, and sometimes during winter. Me and my bro will wander off into the wilds near our house and perhaps light a fire on the shoreline.

    And there are few things more wonderful than lying on the rocks al wrapped up against the cold with the gentle crackling of a fire close by.

    Staring into the embers of a small campfire brings on a special kind of state that is hard to find anywhere else.

  • Xanga Legion: Shining Knight


    Shining Knight

    @KnightInCROATIANarmor

    AKA (Shine or Knight)
    A researcher at a laboratory that was producing mirrors for use in satellites Knight was working late one evening in the clean room when the last of the other personnel left and unwittingly locked him in. Unluckily it was the beginning of the weekend and with all his clothing and personnel items (including his phone) in the changing area he was stuck waiting for rescue.

    While waiting he began experimenting with some theories he’d been formulating involving lasers and the extremely clear satellite mirrors. He discovered that by arranging two perfect mirrors opposite each other and firing a beam of high power light into them he could create a seemingly perpetual energy source, even after the laser was shut off.

    He continued his experiments for the full two days and by the final night on Sunday he had perfected a single solid beam of high intensity light between the mirrors…with no source other than its own reflection.

    It was then that a single screw failed on the support that held the mirrors, moving them just enough to ricochet the beam directly in line with his head. The unique energy beam of light vaporised him instantly.

    The following morning no trace of him was found other than a few indecipherable notes. It was months before the mirrors were ready and shipped out to the launch pad. It was only when the completed satellite was left sitting in a hanger that a direct beam of sunlight was allowed to strike one of the mirrors, as the high power of sunlight passed over the perfect surface it shattered and Knight was left standing light by the golden sunlight…but he was no longer entirely human.

    Infused by light energy Knight can project light blades form his palms, fire deadly laser light from his eyes and travel instantaneously between reflective surfaces. Purified by the light within him he defends justice and fights with honour for the forces of good.

    It’s the internets favourite addiction…well probably apart from other less pleasant sites -_-

    But I’ve actually been pretty good recently and managed to cut my use of FB down a heck of a lot…I neither like the site or have the free time to waste on it…but despite that I keep coming back :/

    If only I’d just log into Xanga instead :D
