Argh, damn journal I want sleep!
Still haven’t posted the last entry as I’m unsure whether to remove somethings out of it or just to keep it as it is.
Anyways I have unfortunately split up with Krystal. 
Its not a case of dumping each other. But yeah other things, I don’t wanna go into it. Its nothing bad at all. I just can’t be f***ed writing about it. We’ll prolly get back together nearer to the end of the year. More stuff to get me excited about the end of the year. Yay!
So thats been bugging me a bit. But E3 has crept up on me as thats given me a small degree flexibility in my own thoughts. Since I haven’t been able to think about games much for ages. Now I’m so excited about them. I blitzed thru and picked up every relevent article about the show. I just need to wrap up some media and I’m done.
This weekend I have set myself some objectives to push through. I have managed to get most of them and some other things out of the way which is so great. Very pleased. Work was better this week, I don’t like the managers that we have every 2nd week. Its only one of them actually but they really annoy me. So this week as better, except yesterday(barely) as I was stuck with Newman and he acts really rude towards me. His wining really cheeses people off I think. Well me in any case. It was also mothers day so we had the family over. It was also my grandpa’s birthday the day before and I had gifts to give my cousins, Auntie and Uncle so there was plenty of giving during the day. It feels good to give.
I’ve been really surprised lately to my addiction to all of this graphics stuff. I made 2 fab wallpapers based on equally fab game renders of some games I’m apt about from E3. Then there’s a pile of other projects that I’m working on. Its strange I am addicted to this s**t! I mean I have never really felt this way with games(as they are mega fun). But lately I’ve had this crazy urge to stay up all night and do graphic stuff. Its crazy! The thing that makes me addicted to it is the variety, I do wallpapers, sigs,skins, templates, general site stuff and piles more. I feel as though it IS possible for me to progress well with this stuff and progress quickly.
I’m apt about setting up this new section on NRX. Its not official as Chris isn’t too keen on the idea. But I can’t wait to get started. I really want to progress the site. It needs lots of work to get it to its potential. I need to work on more winamp skins and splash screens. I wish I could start some of them now!
I also had a great conversation with my respectable friend David Lannan on Friday for a few hrs. It has help me sort out some of my gaming affairs. I think that I even hit him in his weakspot during the convo, well imo I don’t think that he’d agree but imo I ogt my point across. In the end we were on a level plain so yeah. Feels good to get some scope on things with him.
Anyways I gotta sleep. Seeya

You Give Me Half the Man
May 1, 2006
Most listened: Virtual Insanity, You give me something, Space Cowboy-Jamiroquai
Current longing: More time
Ok, I’m back from China. I wrote a journal and will eventually scan the pages and have a complete log of it on here. For now I won’t mention it.
I’m dead tired as you can imagine. But that didn’t stop me doing my general blog tradition of waking up at a ridiculous time just to cure that trouble spot in my brain. Although this time I got up and worked on the NRX restructure. Planning it out has been buging me for weeks and yet it clicked, so I did it then and there before I lost it. I’ve always been like that, I find the answer at the most inappropriate time. Now I make sure that I get it down.
Its mostly planned out. I’m so pleased. It just hit me. Now I just want to create content for the site. But I gotta sleep and I don’t have much time until I’m back @ school and snowed under, I have done no holiday homework/revision so I am somewhat screwed.
I also want to stick some of my stuff back onto dA. Get the photos from the trip up on there. I took some real beauties.
The point of the trip was to decide what I want to do for a career, well if I wanna do chinese or not. By the sounds of things so far I guess you think that I wanna become an artist. Well that isn’t true. I want to get into chinese. For the most part of the trip I totally didn’t want to learn chinese as everytime anyone tried to speak more than 3 characters to a chinese person they wouldn’t know what we were talking about. When I met and got settled with my home stay guy we had conversations where he would speak english and I would speak chinese to him. We did this for hrs. This so impressed me. How he could undertstand what I was saying and that I was actually talking to him naturally in the language. This is what made my mind up and I told him that.
So I will prolly do Chinese @ Uni, I really wanna work @ the Beijing Olympics as well. So maybe I’ll return there even just to cheer on Australia.
Yay! That drama is solved.
