Potential Female Avengers?

Joss Whedon has already said that he wants more females in the Avengers 2. So who could it possibly be?

• Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers)- My favourite superlady, not gonna lie, she's bang tidy! She was formerly an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. so in the movie maybe she can be a S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot transporting some Kree artifact with Captain Marvel, then BOOM explosion he dies and she inherits his powers and joins up? I would very much love to see this happen! Played by Yvonne Strahovski please, she's the only person sexy enough and to pull it off and she has proved that she can pull off both kick-ass and sexy at once in Chuck :)

• Wasp (Janet van Dyne)- Wife to Hank Pym (Ant-Man) she's most likely to appear in the upcoming Ant-Man movie, and therefore stands a good possibility of being in the Avengers. She should be played by Eva Longoria.

• She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters)- Cousin to Bruce Banner (Hulk), she became She-Hulk after receiving a blood transfusion from him. She should stick to her original story, providing legal advice for the team and giving Hulk someone to spar with. She should be played by Gina Carano, an American actress and Gladiator. OR they could go with Ultimate She-Hulk, who is Betty Ross (played by Liv Tyler) which would make me and Katie VERY happy indeed :P

• Sharon Carter- A S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent and descendant of Captain America's love interest Peggy Carter. She could easily be played by Hayley Atwell, who played Peggy in Captain America: The First Avenger.

• Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)- The daughter of Magneto, this villain-turned-Avenger can warp reality! She could start out as a villain in the film, and have a change of heart at a mid-point. She could be played by Monica Bellucci, who played Persephone in the Matrix films.

• Mockingbird (Barbara Morse)- A S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent who was in an abusive relationship with an alcholic Hawkeye, which could provide great banter/chemistry explored in the movie. She could be played by Sienna Miller.

• Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)- A HYDRA Agent fought by the Avengers who later turns good and joins. I think Spider-Woman would be a good villain for this movie, turning good right at the end. After all, hearing a classic Spidey swish would do a great job of confusing the Avengers... and the audience. She could be played by Anne Hathaway.

• Tigra (Greer Grant Nelson)- Transformed by a race of alien cat people, Tigra is a crime fighter. If there are any jungle lairs that need raiding in the film, Tigra would be a good help to the team. She could be played by Angelina Jolie.

• Moondragon (Heather Douglas)- A bald, bisexual telepath who was trained by monks on Thanos' homeworld after he killed her parents and she was rescued by his dad. She should be played by Noomi Rapace from the Swedish version of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Pokémon Black and White Versions 2

** This blog post contains spoilers for Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 **

Sequels to the critically acclaimed Pokémon Black and White Versions were released in Japan on Saturday (23rd June 2012). Not scheduled for a European release until Autumn 2012, this blog post is basically going to describe some of the new features found in the game, and a sum-up really of why I think you should buy it. Having played up to the first Gym badge (gave up as I didn't have a CLUE what was going on, and I hate emulators), I was impressed with the mechanics of the game, and reading on about further features only peaks my optimism for the success of this game.

Black 2, and it's sister White 2 are set to be released in Europe in Autumn 2012

New Locations
The south-west of Unova has been opened up, with locations such as Aspertia City, Sangi Town, Sangi Ranch and Virbank City.

• The northeast of Unova has seen a dramatic redesign, with locations such as Undella Town getting a makeover, and new locations such as Yamaji Town, Rebirth Mountain and Seigaiha City being added. I like the Marine Tube, a tunnel from Undella to Seigaiha which features Mantine swimming above you!
• In Driftveil City lies the new PWT Building (more on this later!)

The in-game map of the Unova region

New Characters

• The new playable characters are called Kyouhei (middle) and Mei (right). You start out in Aspertia City (the first starting town to feature a Pokémon Centre and a Pokémon Gym!) with your childhood friend Hue (left) and can choose from three starter Pokémon: Snivy (Grass type), Tepig (Fire type) or Oshawott (Water type). Personally I always pick the Water type so it was Oshawott for me! Hue picks the starter Pokémon that has a type advantage over your own, so in my game he picked Snivy as Water is weak against Grass.

Hue & the Snivy family, Kyouhei & the Oshawott family and Mei & the Tepig family.

• Akuroma, a Pokémon researcher who is studying Pokémon strength. He is affiliated with Team Plasma, and one of the main antagonists of the game, along with Ghetsis who you will remember from BW.

Akuroma and his Magneton, from the B2W2 animated trailer

• Most of the Gym Leaders are the same as in Black/White. However, there are some changes. Your rival from the original games, Cheren, is now the Gym Leader of Aspertia City, and gives out the Basic Badge instead of Lenora of Nacrene City. Also, Virbank City has a Gym, run by the Poison-type Leader Roxie. The Striaton Trio no longer operate a Gym (it's now a restaurant, fans- it's okay, you can still battle them!) and Brycen is now focusing on his Pokéwood career (you'll find out what this is later), leaving Drayden as the 7th Gym. The final gym is in Seigaiha City, and is a Water-type Gym led by Shizui.

Cheren & Lillipup, Roxie & Whirlipede, Burgh & Leavanny and Elesa & Zebstrika

Clay & Excadrill, Skyla & Swanna, Drayden & Haxorus and Shizui & Jellicent

• The Elite Four remain unchanged from the first game. You can still battle them in any order (I normally go Shauntal, Grimsley, Caitlin, Marshal), and once you beat all four you unlock the opportunity to challenge the Champion. In the previous game, this title belonged to Alder, a character you will meet very early on in B2/W2. In this game, however, the title belongs to Iris. The Opelucid Gym Leader for those who played White, or Drayden's apprentice for those who played Black. Followers of the anime will also be familiar with her, as she is currently one of Ash's travelling companions. Although in the picture below she is depicted as in BW, do not fear, she has aged, it's just that I don't have any artwork of her as of yet.

Shauntal & Chandelure, Grimsley & Bisharp, Caitlin & Gothitelle and Marshal & Conkeldurr

League Champion Iris and three of her team: Druddigon, Hydreigon and Haxorus

Pokémon World Tournament

Located to the south of Driftveil City, this is where prominent trainers come to do battle. Similar in function to the old Battle Frontiers of Generations III and IV games, you earn BP for beating trainers (whether they be regular facility trainers, or Gym Leaders and Champions from previous games). 

On the left hand side are the standard tournaments. You can choose from the Driftveil Tournament (All Pokémon at Lv. 25), Rental Tournament (Pokémon are randomly chosen for you like the Battle Factories of old), or Mix Tournament (All Pokémon are Lv. 50 and you can switch a Pokémon with your opponent- temporarily, before the battle starts).

On the right hand side, you can have Single, Double, Triple or Rotation battles with old classic trainers. After you defeat the Elite Four, come to the PWT Building and choose the "Unova Leaders" tournament. Defeat this tournament once to unlock "Kanto Leaders", "Johto Leaders", "Hoenn Leaders" and "Sinnoh Leaders". Defeat all the above to unlock "World Leaders". Defeat that tournament 10 times to unlock "Champion Tournament".

VS Cynthia in the Champion Tournament

The different trainers for each Tournament are:

• Unova Leaders- Cilan, Chili, Cress, Lenora, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Brycen, Drayden, Shizui, Cheren, Roxie
• Kanto Leaders- Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika, Janine, Sabrina, Blaine, Giovanni
• Johto Leaders- Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Jasmine, Chuck, Pryce, Clair
• Hoenn Leaders- Roxanne, Brawly, Wattson, Flannery, Norman, Winona, Tate, Liza, Juan
• Sinnoh Leaders- Roark, Gardenia, Maylene, Crasher Wake, Fantina, Byron, Candice, Volkner
• World Leaders- Any combination of the above
• Champion Tournament- Red, Blue, Lance, Steven, Wallace, Cynthia, Alder

To clear up any confusion: Koga is not one of the Kanto Gym Leaders as in the timeline he is a member of the Johto Elite Four by now. The Elite Four of any region do not participate in the World Tournament. Tate and Liza are battled separately, as are the Striation Trio. You can only battle Gym Leaders in the tournament (except Cheren who fights in the main plot of the game here) after you defeat the Elite Four and Iris.

Pokéwood

Located to the north of Virbank City, Pokéwood is the Contests/Musicals/Pokéthalon of this game. Although you can still access the Musicals, Pokéwood provides an opportunity to allow the player to parcipitate in making films with Pokémon. Famous actors in this films include Roxie's father, and former Gym Leader Brycen of Icirrus City.

1. GET INTO UNIVERSITY! (priority)
2. Get a job (2nd priority)

7. Work on my people skills
8. The usual :P
9. World domination.

Dragon Age III

Firstly, OMG Dragon Age III is expected to be released some time in 2014, gutted! Was really looking forward to it and with no Dragon Age II DLC to be released again, how am I going to get my Dragon Age fix? Damn you, BioWare! Damn you, EA!

But, on the other hand, at least it won't be rushed like Dragon Age II, and won't reuse the same building for every other building in the area.... Hopefully :P

Introduction to the Dragon Age franchise

The first game of the series, Dragon Age: Origins, was released on November 3rd 2009, and was followed by the expansion pack Dragon Age: Awakening on March 16 2010. The story of the game followed The Warden, a player-created character defined from six possible origin stories (Human Noble, Mage, City Elf, Dalish Elf, Dwarf Commoner or Dwarf Noble), and followed them as they travel the Kingdom of Ferelden fighting against the Blight- and eventually pitting you in a political battle with Teyrn Loghain, a great war hero from the Fereldan War of Independence.

Then on March 8 2011, Dragon Age II was released. In this game, you take the role of Hawke, a pre-set character (which upset some fans, although I prefer it to be honest), a refugee from the small town of Lothering, who flees north to Kirkwall, in the Free Marches, to escape the Blight. The game is set from the point of view of Varric Tethras, who is retelling the stories of Hawke's ventures to Cassandra Pentaghast, a Seeker of the Chantry. We learn from their dialogue that the world's political structure is falling apart due to the Mage-Templar War, which originated in Kirkwall, and that Hawke was at the centre of it all. Following the Qunari Invasion of Kirkwall (repelled by Hawke, who was named Champion of Kirkwall), Knight-Commander Meredith Stannard of the Templars went crazy and started killing innocent mages. A radical mage, Anders (possessed by a Spirit of Justice) destroyed the Kirkwall Chantry, killing the peaceful Grand Cleric Elthina in the process and igniting the war. We find out that Hawke is missing and Cassandra thinks he is the "key" to solving the war.

At the end of the game, Cassandra leaves Varric, and speaks to Leliana, a mysterious bard who players of Dragon Age: Origins will remember as a party member, who says it is "in the hands of the Maker now".

The story has also been expanded through various DLCs (Warden's Keep, Legacy, Mark of the Assassin etc.), books (Stolen Throne, Calling, Asunder), a web-series produced by Felicia Day (Redemption), an anime film based on the early life of Cassandra (Dawn of the Seeker) and a comic book series (The Silent Grove).

Confirmed features of Dragon Age III

• Dragon Age III is said to fuse the best elements of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II
• Combat is to focus more on a player's ability to prepare, position and form a cohesive team with their party members, requiring fewer repetitive finger strikes and more thinking.
• The armour customisation will allow each party member to wear interchangeable pieces of armour that will customise the look according to its specification and class.
• Recycling of environments (DRAGON AGE II >_<) has been confirmed to be scrapped
• The game will be influenced by more open-world RPGs such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
• BioWare expects to use a refined version of its Lycium Engine (from Dragon Age II) for this game.
• We will be visiting somewhere a little more "French", most likely Orlais.

Plotlines that could be explained in Dragon Age III

• The whereabouts of King Maric. The former King of Ferelden disappeared at sea five years before the events of Origins, and we know from The Silent Grove that he was rescued from an Antivan Crow prison by Yavana, the Witch of the Tellari Swamps, but beyond that his location is unknown. This storyline will be followed up in the comic series, Dragon Age: Those Who Speak, set to be released in August 2012.
• The truth behind Andraste and the Maker. Just who was Andraste? Is the Maker real?
• The truth behind Flemeth. Who is the mysterious Witch of the Wilds? In Witch Hunt it is stated by Morrigan that she isn't human, demon or abomination.. so just what is she? And what does she truly want?

Current theories for the identity of Flemeth include Andraste, The Maker, and Fen'Harel (A Dalish trickster God)

• The truth behind the Darkspawn & the Black City. In Legacy, it is stated by Corypheus that the Black City was already corrupt when the Tevinter Magisters reached it, and this corruption turned them into the first darkspawn. Is this true? Or are Corypheus' memories battered by the years he spent in the prison in the Vimmark Mountains?
• The fate of Morrigan and her child. At the end of Origins, Morrigan leaves, and depending on your choices this is with a child housing the soul of the Archdemon. In Witch Hunt, it is revealed she has been raising this child, and that it is beyond the Eluvian, in a place "beyond the Fade". Now, my Warden went with her, but you can either let her go, go with her or kill her. Where is this "beyond the Fade" and what are her plans? Do they clash with Flemeth's, as she suggests, or has Flemeth being playing her?
• The Orlesian Civil War. It is stated in Asunder that Orlais is undergoing a civil war, and that Empress Celene is missing. As Orlais is the most likely setting for Dragon Age III, this plot line will be a pretty large one.
• Relations between Ferelden and Orlais. It is mentioned by Alistair in Dragon Age II that relations between the two neighbouring nations are becoming strained, as many Orlesian nobles want to reclaim their lost province. As above, if Orlais is the setting of Dragon Age III, then this storyline is likely to pop up.
• The nature of the Architect. In Awakening and The Calling, it isn't understated that The Architect is a pretty special darkspawn. Is he one of the original magisters? Or is he an evolution of the darkspawn? Either way, he's too important a character to miss.

Sentient darkspawn... or Lady Gaga cosplayer? You decide!

• Alistair's true parentage. It is known that Alistair is the illegitimate son of King Maric, the question is... is Alistair the son of the maid from Redcliffe as he believes, or is he the son of Fiona, an elven mage Grey Warden from The Calling who we come across later in Asunder as Grand Enchanter of the Circle of Magi? It is known, due to the ending of The Calling that she had Maric's child, but whether this child is Alistair or another, yet unknown Prince, is yet to be known.
• The Dalish Elves. Will they retake The Dales in Dragon Age III? Will more light be shed on the mysteries of Arlathan? Or the Dalish's relationship with Asha'bellanar (Flemeth)? Hopefully so, I've always found the Dalish culture to be fascinating.
• Orzammar. Dragon Age II was very light on dwarves. Did you know there wasn't one female dwarf in the ENTIRE game? Granted, not much is happening with the dwarves at the moment, but it would be nice to see more of them!
• Reversing the taint. Grey Wardens die because they have darkspawn taint coursing through their veins. Only one Warden is immune to this, and that is Fiona. It is unknown how she became immune, but this plotline should definitely be expanded upon more!
• The nature of Sandal. This dwarven savant is gifted in the art of... "ENCHANTMENT!" (sorry, had to be done), but is also known to be able to slaughter droves of darkspawn alone, defeat an ogre, survive in the Deep Roads AND have prophetic visions. Quite good for a special-needed dwarf.

ENCHANTMENT!

• Dragons. In nearly all instalments of the franchise, it is accepted that dragons are dragons. They nearly died out, but then reappeared. That is all. But then, The Silent Grove is released, which explains that the Dragons existed even before the Fade, and are the most ancient things in the world. They are attracted to power, which is why Yavana needed Theirin blood to free the "Queen Dragon". But what is the true nature of the dragons? Why did Flemeth task Yavana with sustaining them? Why does Flemeth turn into a dragon? All these questions need answering!!
• The Qunari Invasion of Thedas. In the epilogue of Dragon Age: Origins, a party member, Sten, suggests that the next time he should see you will be on the field of battle as the Qunari invade Thedas. This militant race has already tried once, and were defeated by an Exalted March led by the Chantry, but with the Chantry in disarray as it is, now would be the opportune time for them to strike! Although the Arishok was defeated by Hawke during Dragon Age II, I would not be surprised seeing a new Arishok (maybe Sten!) leading a crusade against Thedosian culture.

And last but not least... the Mage-Templar War. For such a major plot point there isn't a lot to say about this one. The Chantry/Seekers vs Templars vs Mages. Who wins? Who loses? What are the consequences? Will mages ever be free of Chantry oppression? Will the Chantry ever get back to normal?

Hopefully all of these questions will be answered, either in Dragon Age III or future instalments of the franchise, all of which I look forward to.

Oh, and BioWare? Considering I'm a big fanboy of this woman, and Mark of the Assassin and Redemption were both fantastic, can we have more Tallis in Dragon Age III please? PLEASE?

This Blog Post Is Just A Tribute...

Well, firstly as I doubt anyone actually reads this shit unless I tell them to, I'm gonna briefly say things are going well for the moment xD

And now for the main event!

I'd like to dedicate this blog post to the newest member to my roster of best friends, Christopher Ross, or "American Chris" or even sometimes "Finnish Chris", "Scandinavian Chris", "Gay Chris" or "Emo Chris" although "Emo Gay Scando-American Chris" would probably be the most accurate description, anyway I'm getting sidetracked :P

Anyway, a bit of background for those of you I haven't really spoke to about said Viking Yank, he's 16 (oh gosh I'm a paedophile), and he's probably one of the toughest men I've ever met. Which is odd, as looking at him you'd probably assume he was a bit of a weed, but we all know that true strength lies in the heart and not in the arms :P

This boy has been through more in his short 16 years than most have been through in an entire lifetime. People give him shit where he's from, and it's a fucking disgrace. The sheer willpower of this dude is amazing, he's literally only here now through the strength of his own mind, and these narrow-minded, self-centered bastards have the NERVE to give him trouble? Trust me, readers, if I was anywhere near Nevada shit would be going down a lot differently.

And yet again, this dude is going through a really tough time, and yeah, he's struggling. I honestly worry for him, a lot, but then again he's come through so much already I know the chances of him getting through this are high enough for me not to have to sell everything I own and rush out to Nevada (although, there's no denying that would be PRETTY cool! :P).

I just wish I could be there for him more when he needs me. I mean, I try y'know, but it's pretty hard to be someone's right-hand man when you're over 5,000 miles away :P My local friends can attribute the fact that I'm there for them when they need me, hell I jumped on a train and home-invaded Mathew when he was upset and he lives 200 miles away :P So, if I had the money to be flying to Nevada I'd probably be there making him some shitty vegan food. Ooooooh quorn bolognese, I take it back, not shitty at all :P

Anyway, this dude means a lot to me, as do the rest of my best friends (the current roster being: Kt, Matty, English Chris, Beth and Emo-Gay-Scando-American Chris) and they're all still probably the most important people in my life at the moment.

And to all the people reading this who I don't know, who have ever said something to somebody that wasn't in jest.... please, take the time to stop and think how what you say could be affecting somebody. You don't know the shit they've gone through in their life... you could be raking up something best kept buried...

And to Emo-Gay-Scando-American Chris, keep strong buddy, you can get through this, even if I have to drag you through it myself, because so help me I will if you don't give me another choice, and trust me it isn't pleasant :P Just remember, whenever you're down and crushed to embers... reignite :)

A fire only needs three things: fuel, oxygen and heat. You have fuel, because you're still alive. You have oxygen, because you have air. You have heat because you're not -273.15 degrees celsius :P Just keep those three things and you can still be a raging inferno rather than a smouldering ember. All you need is an extra puff of air :)

And that, as they say, is that. Blog post finished for the day now, I'll keep you all updated when I can :)


Oh, and look- a wild CHRISTOPHER appeared ;) Photo stolen :P

Jesus Christ, if I took him to the McDonalds in Walsall he'd blend in perfectly with the Emo Horde they are breeding there :P

Suicide Mission

I haven't played Mass Effect 2 for a while now, not for a few months, but my GOD I just want to tell the world how FUCKING AWESOME it is when you complete the Suicide Mission without dying. It makes you feel like you are literally Jesus. (Well, you did come back from the dead...)

As a bit of context for non-ME players, you have to assemble a team to fight the Collectors, a race of ancient bug folk who are abducting human colonies (note:- colonies not colonists) by paralysing all the people with tiny robots called Seeker Swarms, then just taking them. You, as Commander Shepard, fly your ship (the Normandy) through the Omega-4 relay, which no ship has ever returned from, get battered about in a debris field, crash land, send a tech expert (Legion the Geth Infiltrator on my playthrough) through some hot vents to open a path for you, whilst a strategist (Miranda Lawson on my playthrough) creates a distraction team. Then, with the distraction team still distracting, you have to go on a "Long Walk" through the middle of the base where the Seeker Swarms nest. IMPOSSIBLE, you may think, but nay! Using a biotic expert (Hello Samara) means they can't get to you. Then you find your abducted crewmembers, who are in the middle of being melted down into goop and processed into the central chamber. So you send someone to take them back to the ship (Mordin is the best choice here). Then, while everyone else holds the line, you and your party (in my case Kasumi and Tali) go to the central chamber, take down a Human-Reaper larva, and blow the station to hell!

NO FUCKING CASUALTIES.

Anyway, I didn't want to rant about how awesome that mission is, soundtrack and all. I just wanted to update people with the fact I'm still revising for my retake, and still enjoying life as it comes :) After a VERY stressful period caused by the break-up of a friendship due to a certain person's cowishness, it's nice to have really good times :D

Value of Friendship

To me, friendship is one of the most important things in my life. Any of my friends will probably be able to tell you how strongly I feel towards it. I remember recently comparing myself to a "mother panther" as to how I feel about my friends, they are literally all my babies. My friends all mean the world to me, and (hopefully) they all realise this. So to kick off the new happy start to my blog (after the depressing episode formerly mentioned) I will dedicate a blog post to these amazing people :)

BETH STREET

I met Bethany through annoying Sam (god Sam!) and came out better for it- Beth's one of the nicest people I know, I don't think she's got a bad word to say about anyone and hey, she's one of the few people who has evolved to be able to stand me in high doses! Although we haven't talked as much as we'd both like this year, Beth is still held in very high regard as one of my closest friends, as she is genuinely lovely.  As she now lives in Wales, and I visit Wales far too much, I feel the need to say that Beth yw epig :) Like Sam, I think Beth realised that she couldn't escape my annoyances and just came to terms with the fact she was stuck with me, I mean, seriously? She's moved to Wales in a vain attempt to run away and it hasn't worked! Here's a tip Beth, I don't have a passport ;) Just saying :P

YOUUUUUUUU... SHALL NOT... PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS!!!!!!!

MATTHEW WALKER

I've actually known Matt longer than the rest of these losers :P I do believe I met Matt all the way back in 2004/5 (Year 7), which makes me feel like a fucking ancient relic. Seriously, just donate me to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery right now. Anyway, I'm sidetracking. Basically didn't speak to Matt much after meeting him (my mistake, sorry :P) and now I kinda wish I had. After intruding on Sam and Beth's lives, I re-met Matt, and formed a friendship with him. Matthew is potentially one of the most entertaining people I know, and although we've had our little fallings out, he's still one of my favourite people. Again, as with Beth, we haven't spoke as much as we'd both like this year, but still... don't change Matthew, you're a great person :)

Well Matthew, I knew you loved me but this is a bit extreme, isn't it? :P

KATIE REYNOLDS

Katie, Katie, Katie... Where do I start? Well, I met her in ICT in Year 10. Since then we've developed some weird twin telepathy thing, it's weird. I think she follows me. I hear a rustling in the trees by my house and I half expect a midget with night-vision goggles to fall out :P Nah, in all seriousness, I don't think I would have got through the past however many years quite as insanely if I didn't know Katie :P She's my non-fag hag. If I was a fag, she would be my first choice as hag. Once we eventually take over the world (it's happening, the populace may as well just deal with it) and stuff we might take mercy on all the people we dislike... or we might not :P We do have a list somewhere, but that was made years ago, it needs lots of additions! She's the lead singer of our Guitar Hero band, PenisTree (NOT The KitKats, that's just a lie she's spreading) and to be quite honest she deserves to be shot for it! Anyways Katie, I just wanna say thanks for being an awesome friend these past years, and here's to another load more!

The Warden-Commander of Amaranthine and Arl of Amaranthine, and the Queen of Ferelden. Although she's only Queen because she married Alistair. And she only did that to become Queen. I ain't sayin' she a golddigga ;)

CHRISTOPHER LEMMON

Christovskii! Originally one of my Chemistry buds, then he like married Katie or something, even though she was already married to Emma and having a lesbian affair with Sam. I know, it's weird, but hey! That's us! I'm also having an affair with him I believe, I dunno, I can't remember, it's so hard to remember who's romancing who, we're all giant slags. Anyways, Christopher is a truly good friend, a rarity these days and I should probably thank him too but his ego will inflate and it'll be bad times for the rest of us ;) I'm pretty sure I owe him money too but I'm not gonna mention that.... ... ... *looks shifty* But yes, I am glad I met this fellow, he's a nice individual and knows how to deal with me which is always a bonus! Because let's face it guys, I take a lot of dealing with :P Bitch also gives good hugs, but that is irrelevant to how much I loves him..... or is it? ;) Also I do have to mention that all the terrorisation me and Katie give him... kudos to him, he must have the patience of a bloody saint!

Poor Christopher gets molested by me FAR too much xD On the plus side, his face tastes nice!

MATHEW JAMES

Fatty Matty :P He's a bloody sheepshagger he is! People always warn you about the dangers of meeting people off the internet- but (taking into account the fact he COULD have been a psychotic rapist serial killing necrophiliac with a fetish for dog food) they rarely tell you the benefits. Such as meeting a MAJOR FUCKING CUNT..... I mean, one of my best friends :) Although he's a relative newcomer to this list, Mr Mathew here has somehow ensorcelled me. I think he's a witch to be honest, he's got the crooked nose ;) Also he's one of the very few people who CAN'T get annoyed with me. Believe me I've tried. Either he's really good at hiding it, or he's immune. Also I saved him some of my pizza the other day, which just proves my love for him :P Well, he is my husband after all xD It's been a fantastic six months, and I hope our friendship's future is as fantasticly amazing as it has been so far :) Rydych chi'n unigolyn gwych Mathew James, byth yn ei anghofio, gadael i neb ddweud wrthych fel arall, ac yn bwysicaf oll byth yn stopio rannu hynny gyda mi ar ffurf cyfeillgarwch.

Who needs an axe-wielding psychotic serial killer with a corpse fetish when you can have a sword-wielding, narcoleptic Welshman with a... well, I doubt anyone wants to know your disturbing fetishes 

CONCLUSION

All of these people should know that I loves them lots and want them to know that I look forward to the next load of years we share :) Friendship is what makes the good times better, makes the bad times go away, and makes the just plain dull times that slight bit more bearable, and the past few years I owe to you all :)


Thanks guys,
Jake :)
