okay i know i’ve not updated much. . . again . . but i’d say i’m  getting better at it.  =P
Anyways not been up to a great deal tbh, the sleeping thing has gotten worse, and as it stands at the moment, I have had about a grand total of 3hours sleep in the past 5 days/nights. :[
Really starting to suck now, and am getting soooo tired! lol
I will eventually upload a couple of the pics from leeds that i liked but first i need to get a new CF reader >.<
I have been playing a bit of Wrath of the Lich king, and i have to say that overall i am very impressed. Kudos to Blizzard! lol Seems to me a lot of people have rushed through the new content to level 80 with 25thNovember guild clearing Naxx on the 3rd day or something crazy! However, I am quite enjoying the new zones so far (with the exception of Borean Tundra) and am leveling slowly. Also leveling the first Hero class in the game - the Death Knight, and they are sooooo much fun to play! :D not met anyone who has played one who isn’t enjoying it, which is always nice to see . .BUT . . this has meant that all through Outlands, you see nothing but a sea of Death Knights upon Death Knights!

anyway am kinda dosing off and am at uni, so i guess i should call it a post for now, but i’ll update more later, possibly after some sleep!

ahhh, so I’m still not sleeping so I thought I’d do an update. :D
This was just going to be a short post, but I’ll probably get carried away so best prepare for wall of text!! lol
So I’ve been playing World of Warcraft pretty much since the beginning after getting dragged kicking and screaming from LineageII. And it has surprised me how much fun I’ve had over the past 3-4years playing the game. While I’ve always had problems with the game and mechanics, I’ve actually quite enjoyed my time in Azeroth! First there was the original game, which two years ago went on to TBC . .and now . .Wrath of the Lich King!

Personally up until an few months back (and at the beginning of) The Burning Crusade, i found TBC pretty boring. The only way to gear if you weren’t a hardcore raider was to farm PvP battlegrounds and/or arena which tbh is less PvP than battlegrounds these days lol. And to me it’s always seemed quite poor that you have to do one extreme or the other to get anywhere.
I wouldn’t even get me started on wtf Blizz have been playing at with resilience for pvp! First it makes it so that you can’t crit in PvP and then they stack up on crit and resilience gear we were forced to collect is redundant -.- Sometimes I just really miss Pre-BC.
Recently though with PUGs going everywhere from Kara to BT life has been a bit more interesting.
Also Kudos to blizz on the achievements system! and no /sarcasm this time! I’ve really liked how its managed to bring people together again to do some classic raiding and get away from Outlands for a bit. :]
Just liek this post, its all been headed towards the latest expansion for the game: Wrath of the Lich King. Like many, I’m really psyched about this one! following the story over to Northrend! (well not that Blizz havent twisted the story through the whole of wow to fit their purpose . but that’s a rant for a later date) In Northrend, they seem to have done away with all the super duper bright glowy spaceman looking items and made some epic models with a more classic look! New Battlegrounds with a whole new (to wow at least) siege mechanic, new mounts, one hell of a lot more areas to quest in . .and more importantly . . gank! Also really looking forward to the fact I can once more raid . without having to raid EVERY night! lol Thanks to the fact there are 10 man versions of all 25man instances! As there’s already 6 of us, I’m looking at recruiting a few new like-minded people to raid with us :]
So if you happen to be on EU-Skullcrusher Horde, maybe send me a tell :P lol All i got to do now, is fix up the laptop to run it well enough to last me through ’til mah Bday! :D

But enough rambling for now, sorry bout all that ^^^^^ probably could go on for a LOT more, but i figure i’ll try spare you guys the pain ;) and I spose I should really try that sleep thing again xD

Thats right, Bleh! I don’t know whats up, but i feel . .well . .  bleh!
Nothing is particularly wrong, so i really don’t know why I feel this way, but life goes on.
Went last Thursday to Leeds to check out the uni and a couple courses for third year, and visit a friend, but the day just didn’t go well. To start with first train was cancelled, and then the next (delayed by 15mins >.<) was so full about 10 of us couldn’t board it. So I had to wait for another 1/2 hour just to get a train to Sheffield . .to get a train to Leeds xD When I finally got there, headed to the uni for some ‘tour’ of New Media course but was told I couldn’t go in because i wasn’t with the person who had booked for me to go (a group of us had planned to go, but got told by text they weren’t going to show as they were all hungover -,-) after arguing and not getting anywhere i just decided to go for a wander until I met my friends. Twas a freeezing day but i quite enjoyed exploring and got a couple of decent shots. :] But then friends got stuck in uni, and I decided it was time to call it a day, and went back to the station to get first train back, which to top things off, broke down for an hour and a half in the middle of nowhere.

However this weekend I had a really lazy time, had nothing to do for Halloween either so was either reading, watching movies, gaming or sitting in the park on the swings in the cold xD
Did end up a pretty boring weekend really, and even found nothing to do on WoW tonight and just talked to a friend on skype all night. Really need to get out of this slump! but onwards! tis a new week in about half hour and hopefully things pick up!

Today, despite my aversion to Uni and the learning that never occurs, was not too bad a day! :]
Started off pretty early and was amazed at the sunrise this morning! wanted to get some good shots, but was just soo sleepy lol, however managed a couple:

In uni today tho, i have never heard so much swearing in any class ever! lol even the tutor, and nothing but for at least a solid 20mins and then some. For one of my modules this year we get to do a short 3D piece, however, we HAVE to use Maya. Now it’s not that I have anything against Maya, just as i have already taught myself in 3DSM I’d prefer using that. :P
Today though i managed to pick up a few tricks and kinda getting used to it now :] so might post a few models later this week but now its just been such a long day I think for the rest of the night I’m going to sit back, watch something, and game!

Waheyy! So yeah . . I’m Back! :D
About time is all i can say lol, What have I been up to? well recentley not a great deal, reading a lot and having fun with my camera. :)

Still working on the blog here, so expect a few changes still :) Speaking of which, I’ve been toying with the idea of a logo for a while and quite like the one i got at the mo (in the banner on the right)
What do people think?

Also I moved into my new place, still renting, and tho it’s more expensive than any place ive rented before, its totally worth it! It’s an awesome lil place at the top of a hill road, and well away from the dual carriageway and most traffic for that matter. I had promised pics, and so here are a few :)
okay okay, so more than a few and not all of them are from the house, but i did some exploring xD
only problem is its half an hours walk to any shop >< but ah well.
