Anyway...
Yes I still live mwhahaha you cannot get rid of me. So whats been happening in my life. Well I left Lost Chapter, the raiding was fun and exciting but some of the people I just did not get on with and when that happens there is not much choice. So anyway I joined the Raven Knights now, many many friends there :). Taken up the responsibilities of soring out the paladins *sigh* trying to introduce a rotation system but I keep explaining it wrong, so I arranged a meeting of the raid paladins. Well I can add the 2 weeks of RK raiding without LB leggings to my list 27 weeks and counting :), its getting depressing now. I joined ana and david in Moonglade as a hunter, lvl 19 but want to stay that way till I have some more pvp under my belt :), as I will have to wait till mid 20s to stand a chance for more :). We did the Deadmines our first instance run together took 3 hours though :S, and then I got d/ced at the end not before I got my loot however :). Real life is good, my exam results were interesting, and I think a phD is beyond me now, but I have sent off my teaching stuff so will see what that does. Tenerife was lots of fun if anyone wants to see any pictures e-mail me and I will send some on to you :). Unfortunately I broke off a tooth :(, had to get it fixed last weekend and now it should be okay till the summer when I have to get a full replacement. Got 2 12 page reports to write as well now, and a GRL paper. Plus the dissertation work continues, but for some reason my program appears to shift the data :(. Changeling was lots of fun and we have taken to advancing the plot and trying to solve the problem, and I must talk to ana and david about their downtime as well so I can fit it in :). Have to see where this takes us, but am looking forward to the next session it will be very fun :). YEs its valentines day just wondering what I should do cause I think not many people will be playing WoW but we got hakkar in ZG in one night of instance so its all good :). Well I am going to onyxia this week and my pala rotation sets out I am not in MC so next week for MC and I better pray to blizz for my drop :). Not much else happening, anas sister is up this week and she has some time off, wish I had some time off :(. The practical this morning killed my brain the lecturer is so random and fast, you do the bit of wrok he just assigned and he is already doing the next bit. Wonder what we shall do tonight in the house then :). Stuck in uni atm got a prac this afternoon, maybe we should go see Underworld 2 on wednesday people :), just for a good laugh. Went to see rumour has it last week that was a funny film and just the kind of amusing thing I needed last week. Wonder what to see this week other than underworld hmmm. Got to organise some more *sigh*, and do some real work. Love Roland | | Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 | | 3:03 am |

I joined lost chapter...they are a cool bunch of people who want to see end game content...most of them are cool but there are some that make me wonder...but anyway :D. having fun I almost completed my tier 1 epic set....which reminds me I will just pop back in game and take a pic of huror in his nice shiny gold armour and as a Jawa :S. | | 2:48 am |

Spellsword
59% Combativeness, 16% Sneakiness, 64% Intellect, 36% Spirituality |
Aggressive, but with the brains to back it up: You are a Spellsword!
Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you’ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you're an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't.
Spellswords combine arcane might with combat know-how. They're much tougher than mages, like to wear armor, and can cast spells through their weapons. They're very, very, good at doing lots of damage to a single target very quickly, and while not quite as tough as most fighters, are still pretty hard to kill.
You're both smart and aggressive, which means that you're probably pretty dangerous when pissed off. You also tend to be somewhat straightforward, which is nice, and don’t have much use for spirituality or mysticism. |

YAY!!
Uni is finished for a few weeks I can sit and relax then worry about exams :S Well my talk went well if I could find a way of attaching files to LJ things I would maybe I need like a payed account if or when I do I will attach my presentation to make your minds warp :D. Hopefully I will get a good mark for it.... Just to reinforce I HATE websites they are just annoying to do. May go into uni next weekish to finish sorting out my programs so I am all ready for january, so that should be all good on a project front. David wants to run a game tommorrow, and I think GURPs won the system vote :D, as we have not used 4th ed gurps this should be okay, but I want a proper Exalted session not the crap I have been playing. Fortunately I missed this weeks episode due to me having to finish work and I did not have to hang myself....not sure what he did but he says he is running the system even more slightly different now, I did not listen to him properly but I am sure he has just butchered more of the kick ass exlatedness and made us suck even more...I mean come on his MORTAL was rolling more dice than the combat monkey for melee....maybe he has decided that doubling 10s is stupid..who knows with this GM anything is possible. apparently I have been a good boy and will receieve lego for xmas so thats all good, but I am now debating whether to go buy SCIII before xmas now it will be soo cool..maybe I can ask my darling mother :D, and get her hooked...my mum showed a surprising aptitude for smash brothers melee, but only when she hit handicap 7/8, but still she did not get any worse at that level :D, and we did not introduce her to the concept of directional attacks maybe we shall next match :D. But her driving skills are lacking in Mario Doubledash...typical newbie :D..steering with her whole body :D. I shall have to take bomberman home as she got really good at the snes version when we used to play :D. Been to see like every film now....did not see the exorcism of emily rose, but I can wait for my friends to get it on DVD or something, went to see King Kong its a good film but it lacks something that makes you go 'ooooooo that was amasing' it was just good and average enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, and it did not feel like the 2hrs45 or so long it was. Just contemplating what games I can amuse myself with over xmas other than WoW I think we are going to have play some WCIII across the network cause that would be cool :D, and maybe I need buy homeworld so we can play that as well....My verdict is still out on the xbox 360, also I love the jcb song :D, and am so going to have to buy it now its so cool :D. I should probably think about sleep if I have to make a character for tommorrows session so night. Night Love Roland | | 12:55 am |

Update...what me update pfft...
So whats been happening in my life *deep sucking in breath* nothing..... Okay not true :D. Well it was my birthday on the 14th of novemeber I forgot post...ah well, but anyway I went out for a nice meal on the saturday and got mildly drunk, but I was feeling ill so I had to go home early. Then later in the month I booked some tickets to go see the ballet(Sleeping beauty, Tchaikovsky) as a continuous enjoyment of me being ancient(21) and advancing one year closer to impending doom and destruction....Was a great event and everyone had fun...apart from david who kept falling asleep apart from when there were bright flashing lights or something dramatic was happening...overall a very succesful evening bar the kid behind who did not shut up start to finish and did not know who little red riding hood was....do they teach primary school kids these things?? or is it to imaginary and does not root our little darlings in the real world....okay lets read them hitlers mein kampf instead...stupid political correctness... Anyway yes the ballet was fab and they are returning in Jan for the nutcracker, so I think it may be a return visit for me :D. Project work is mounting up I have some talks to do one on monday and one on friday, so its going to be fun. I had better really do them tommorrow while I have time if not it may have to be tuesday evening or a skipping of RPG club....but I think if I do not go this week the silly people will get nothing doen due to ineptness....really I should of shot the GMs pet NPC to see what happened he is only mortal and I be exalted.....oh wait I forget I am only a exalted must mean I am crap compared to anything the GM creates....cause thats obviously not what this game is about....((please everyone refrain from using your sarcasm detectors I fear those last few phrases may have killed them)). So yes I need to conjure up an evil magic deack for wednesday but I can't be bothered so I guess its work and then exalted in the evening...or as david calls it now lowly....((must search my thesaurus for a better one....)) But my programs finally work...fortran has deigned to allow itself to process all my data so its all good in the grand scheme of things and I have some interesting plots for fridays talk....the model appears to not be doing what its meant to be or something stupid like that...stupid ass model at least it gives me something to talk about at least. I left a program running and am checking it tommorrow to see if its done with my 1000000s of data points....then I think I need a new program to do the analysis for the data itself rather than me doing it for every single one individually *cry*. But I can sort that next week sometime or so its not urgent anyway. My work has slightly slipped a tiny bit but most of my deadlines have been met I also have to finish a sodding website by friday I hate webpages ass so its a bad week :(. many nights of work ahead as I compile all the papers and things I amassed over the last term *sigh*. But yesterday I went to a wedding it was so pretty. It was between someone I know from uni and someone she knows from her church but it was a nice service and she looked very pretty...and the reception in the evening was very good, and a very pretty firework that lasted forever spitting things out it was amasing what they can do nowadays :D. Lots of free food though so it was all good and nice cheesy music so all check :D, and yummy chocolate cake :D. Update on the cinema scene went to see narnia the other day it was fab thats all I will say it was absolutely cool, I know some people are avoiding it, but really it is a very good film....((and the rocks ain't half bad :P)). Seen another heap of films me and jaqi go at least once a week usually so we get through a fair few....also you should go see kiss kiss bang bang a very good film and quite funny...and Val kilmer is still as handsome as ever :D, and surprisingly unwooden as a gay guy(very amusing :)). I always keep forgetting the films we see but have seen most of the big ones....oh I did see HP to it was good, and I have to agree with jaqi viktor krum was nice ;), but cho was also very stunning :D. I still think they could have made it longer I mean come on people stayed through LOTR 3hr films I am sure people will stay for a 3hr HP film....its americans they just can't keep their attention for that length of time something will distract them somehow or something...do not ask me about why 3hr films are bad...I mean my mum remembers when you went to the cinema you used to watch 2 films the 'A' movie and the 'B' movie.... Missed Caz's bday party on friday due to some urgent phone calls and getting dragged into BWL to kill nefarion....LC finally got to kill nefarion and I was there...the only dorf on the raid to...its racism I tell you :D. Family appears to be disintegrating....but my nana and grandad should finally have moved house so I shall have to ring them and find out, not seen it yet but maybe over new year...still thinking about what to do over new years maybe I should come back to L'pool for NY not decided yet.. Hope this keeps all my skeptics happy and I do still live laters Ro Current Mood:  ...bed is callingCurrent Music: Sleeping Beauty Waltz.... | | Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005 | | 12:18 am |
wow I do go a long time without an update :S ah well here is a quiz to tide you over I think I will update on thursday, but getting back into Kingdom hearts and FFX. New morrowind comes out end of this week MUST finish old one me thinks perhaps.... Tons of work stupid programs not working and subroutines not subroutineing correctly damn stupid things... Joined an Exalted game, which is a GM trying to play vampire in exalted which is WRONG on soooo many levels but its fun to watch david cry and rip his hair out :D. Went home for the weekend, my birthday craziness that needs like a book to contain...New MTG set rocks I finally bought some cards but I do not really want to spend the money..all magic money goes on WoW now :D, and wow is so cool to have friends... The guild is collapsing, and it appears we lose people all the time its sad :(, even I contemplated leaving but I think that would be very dangerous so I will see what happens....Also some people would prolly kill me :D, but thats something completely different....not much else to comment on right now really, my beard needs trimming again *sigh* and I have a ton of chocolate cake to eat mmmmmm cake :D tata Ro Current Mood: bedtimeCurrent Music: Toxic - Britney (so sue me) | | Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 | | 4:12 pm |

Okay first day back at uni sucks :D, have pracs from 10-5, though fortunately I finished my prac early and left at 3 so its all good and the 10 o'clock one was cancelled that week.......why did I bother getting up.....project work is fun but I am due to start some proper work this week we are going to start writing programs so that should be fun and interesting. Started roleplay again magic sessions are fun apart from being in the society cupboard, but we are only in there for one more week so thats al good :D. Got to do a website for one of our courses sucks ass I hate making websites.....Not sure what else is happening at uni but its all good and not too bad at the minute it can only get worse..... The first week was a bad week for my bank :D, went out a few times for someones b-day and for a geophys night out money well spent lots of fun :D. its was also nice to talk to people who had been away as hal;f the people I know had been abroad for a year so it was very yummy chinese food to :D. That weekend was changeling, and that was loads of fun.....I should try being a 4'3 boggan more often :D. Need to try and find an outfit to fit my profession.....and a chisel. Was a good session had lots of fun even if I did get set on fire :), and so did anna. after the game we went to the all you can eat korean/chinese place on bold street that was also very tasty and I should go back for more :D. After that we went to see Howl's moving castle, a very good film but the ending was a bit annoying the whole film had been very good but the ending was a bit wrong it didn't fit of you know what I mean. All in all a very good week, forgot to ring my mum but hey :D. another week ticked by more wow and molten core got me lawbringer helmet mwhahaha rarest drop I am so happy love my raid group even the leet kiddies on our server do not have one I think mine is the first on the server but I cannot be sure yet :D. now got enough DKP to buy some more armour now so its all good, and we go to kill majordomo again on wednesday cause they failed on sunday, faenor got umeld to do the popping of sheeps bad idea imho as why not use apotheus who did it the previous week and knew what he was doing throw someone new and inexperienced into the mix ah well I will make persuasion on wednesday :D. Other than that all wow stuff is cool, some guild issues at the minute Moviro is getting a bit annoyed that we do not do more guild runs to instances like scholo and things, but I shall be arranging some for him I hope otherwise he goes to the leet kiddie guild Lost Chapter and they all suck ass....I won't go into more details about them unless people really want to know all the sordid deatails :D. Finally got rid of my last green item last night to got me an Energized Brest plate from Dire Maul East. enough about wow :D Phoned my mum over the weekend she is fine wanted me to sort out an advert she is doing cause she messed it up :D. nothing much hapened this weekend played wow read some scientific papers started refreshing my fortran.....Fortran is EVIL!!! anyway not sure what else is happening me and jaqi are joining UGC cinema for the year so now we can go and watch all those crap movies you think you could never go and pay money for and not feel to bad about it :D. Not many films to be excited about just planning to burn all copies of the next harry potter film fast :D. Life does continue I am thinking of trying to post every couple days but not much happens to me so meh :D.....if anything exciting happens it will go here first.... I now just have to decide on do I do a PhD or do I go work for a year or two....I really do not think I could do a Phd I just do not have the inclination to work that hard I think but perhaps I will see how this year goes. So anyway that about sums up what happened in that last few weeks really, hopefully have something new to add soon Roland | | Friday, September 16th, 2005 | | 2:32 am |
