25 days till LotR

I am watching Doctor Zhivago (the new one, I have already seen the old one, and personally think it was better).
They are showing all the death and carnage. Not pretty, but neccesary.
I have to go away now, I am afraid. Am talking to Joe about jingles for our film company. It will happen.

25 days till LotR

I have manged to dlete half of the fucking website.
A load of the content, including all the photos, etc, have gone.

I blame Geocities. It's bolox. It was them. I know it was them because everything was in perfect working order last time I was here, then, last night, I typed in the addy and half the fucking site was gone!
Anyway, never mind. Am moving to a new server anyway, so who gives a fuck.
Just read the important note.
Only woke up abut 3 hours ago.
Have a hangover, but it is all worth it because Dan was ever so pleased about his suprise birthday party!
It is very dark and raining where I am. Horrid, horrid, horrid. I hate this time of year, when people are trying to convince themselves it's Christmas but know it won't be for over a month....I always consider Christmas to be when you have loadsa dosh kicking around, (sorry, but I normally do this time of year) a tree, and snow.
I am in Cornwall, where it never snows, it just rains, but I did grow up in Bucks where it does snow.
I have �4 in the world, and we don't have a Christmas tree yet. I know that Christmas isn't too far away, but I seem to be having trouble getting into the spirit of things. I stll crave the summer. Maybe it will wear off, or maybe I am just being a normal fourteen year old. Who knows. I am going to go now, but may post more when I am back in the land of the living.

And yes, I do know there are about a squillion spelling mistakes, but it's not like anyone who can spell visits this site anyway, and I lose the power of typing when I am tired, so just deal with it.

26 days till LotR is out in cinemas!

It is my brothers birthday today, and I have just been told that his stripper has been cancelled.
Best never tell him there was one in the first place.
I went to Wadebridge far too early this morning, and checked my bank balance. �4 fucking quid.
All I ask is to have enough to buy my family and friends some prezzies. But no, �4 is what greats me. Admittedly, there is only �4 because I spent my money, but the last time I checked my balance was back in September, and I last gt any money out in June.
So very unfair. Will have to buy people ickle presents this year then. Oh well. Such is the way of the world. Just signing into messenger. One message. Why isn't anyone writing to me at the moment? I normally get loads of mail, but it seems to be that the only people who want to contact me are alxnet and bravenet, and that is only because they want me to 'upgrade now so as not to risk missing out'. I delet the messages. What can I say, I am a risk taker. I live life on the edge.
Saw some of Celebrity Big Brother yesterday, but they kept cutting out the sound, so I turned it off and played snake on my phone instead.
I have a throbbing headache, and I am going to my nan's at 3ish to make food for Dan's party.
That should be cool, so long as I remember my change of clobber for after the food is made.
I must also remember to curl my hair before I go out and tie it up. Right then, gotta go help with a cake now, but will be back tommorow, or possibly tonight.

27 days till LotR is out in cinemas! All I can say is:

Dance Chicken, dance! I love tht photo. Don't you f-ingwell steal it though.

Dan is here today, and we have been watching some strangeness and making his birthday cake. He still doesn't know it is going to be a mad ass party complete with stripper (and don't dare tell him, k?). He thinks it is going to be along the lines of 'tea with the family' when really it is likely to be closer to 'have the lads round for a laugh'. I am going to go help with the party food tomorrow, infact I think I may eat it all before anyone else gets there.
I have been bought a coat, which is lovely, two tops, which are really nice, and a skirt, which, whilst being lovely, and beatiful, and all that, may be stolen by my sister. I bought a couple of prezzies for people, and yes, I do still, above all else, desire the LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING EXTENDED DVD SPECIAL EDITION BOXSET. Or, if push comes to shove, the extended video will kick ass too.
I want either or both, and I want them NOW!!!!
Anyway, back to the point, I have bought people presents.
I was in Tescos, druling over the LORD OF THE RINGS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING SPECIAL EDITION VIDEO AND DVD BOXSETS and loitering near the Buffy gear, when, suddenly, there was a slight jult as the speakers were arranged and then: a large burst of Ocean Drive and other hits by the Lighthouse Family echoed through the shop in true 'it's Christmas and we are going to be wacky' style. Then, a man who looked rather a lot like Ricky Gervais' David Brent emerged wearing a Santa hat and began to attempt to grope the floor manager.
The festive season has, I fear, well and truly arrived.
I expect that not too long after I left, the Brent lookalikey began to perform his 'MC Hammer shit' in front of The Office. I don't like supermarkets, or big offices, or anything like that at all, really.

Given the choice between sitting in a field somewhere on a sunny day wearing flared jeans, a bell sleeved top and a bandana made from natural fibres round my tousled hair, whilst listening to Coldplay, practising Yoga, knowing there is a health food shop just down the road, that all is well with the world, and that all the people in it have found peace and happiness, man, or working nine to five in a dead end and generally shitty job and awaiting my retirement with glee yet dreading my own worthlessness at the same time; despising the rat race and wanting to be a part of it too, and feeling ill at the very thought of approaching my grey and lifeless place of work, yet knowing that I have to go there to keep the equally horrid roof over my head that I don't get to stand under too often because of overtime put in to impress my boss in the hope that he or she will recognise my 'talent' and promote me, thus lifting me just a little bit out of the very pits of hell, I would opt for the first choice. Without a second thought, without looking back.
Lets face, it, who would opt for the second? Maybe a few people. Maybe a lot. But not me. Nah.

Anyway, or a slightly less deep note, did anyone catch Celebrity Big Brother last night? That was pretty cool.
I like all of them, apart from Les Dennis, who I already did despise, and who will only make me hate him more by thrusting his stupid face to the very forefront of Channel Four's programming for 10 days.
And yeah, I know it's awful. But I like it.
It's the tackiness that makes it rock. And I guess it's the same with that Tesco's thing.
Besides, both are harmless.

29 days till LOTR is out on in cinemas! 22 days till the premiere!!

Right, on with the general sanity.
I am sadness itself, I actually recorded a Lord of the Rings trailer the other day....
Ah well, I was mad already, this only confirms it.
Will be sorting out a newlayout pretty soon, possibly before Christmas, possibly after Christmas, eaither way, it is going to kick ass!
I remembered the passwords to a load of my websites last night, which was freaky. I need to sort the bastarding things out now.
So, what has been going on in the world of Naomi lately? Fuck all, that's what.
I was hell of a depressed yesterday, and very, very tired.
As most of my mates know, I have a lazy eye.
What this means is that the signals from my brain to my left eye are far slower than other people, which means that I have blurred vision when only looking out of my left eye, and if I am tired or stressed, it doesn't work as well.
Normally, my lazy eye just means that if I attempt to read anything without my glasses on, I get a headache and I feel a bit sick, becauise the one perfectly working eye has to work overtime to make up for the other one, ya see?
So, when I am very tired, as I was yesterday and am today, my left eye goes squiffy. It just looks a bit droopy. It is slightly irritating, and one of the reasons why I have early nights as often as possible (it's not just coz I'm a boring bastard, oh no...) because if I don't, bring on the droopy eyelid.

I have just replied to an e-mail from Geraldine, who wants to make a website for herself. I have told her to use Geocities. If Joe wants to lend a hand, I'm sure she would appreciate it, but Joe, please don't speak in a complicated manner, k? G isn't a webdesigner.
I am going to book tickets to see LotR (and god forbid anyone who stands in my way when I go to see it) on the 18th December.
I am so looking forward to that, and it looks like I am going to see it about eight times before the end of January! Once with Geraldine, then with Geraldine and Hannah, then with my mother and sister, then with my sister, then with my brother, sister, grandmother, and grandfather, and then on Geraldine's birthday.
I may actually go see HP again some time in between.
Was going to see Die Another Day, but have read various reviews, and most say it's a load of shit.
My favourite headline was 'The Spy who Bores Me'. Will probably go along anyway, but my priority is The Two Towers.
I got two free posters from TT in the paper and a cinema booklet from the cinema....very good.
Have no wall space now, but will no doubt find some bloody wall space if I get the chance to own some more posters.
My nan phoned today to tell me she got me a Lord of the Rings Advent Calender....yay!!
Will be a bit frightened to actually use it though....I got a Buffy Calender (not advent, just a calender) and haven't dared write anything on it, it is just there, on my wall, for show. And very nice it is too. I guess I could just steal the chocolate and then seal the windows shut on my new calender....yeah, that's an idea....
I have joined a load of fanlistings, and am about to sort out some content. Anyway, gotta go work now.

November 17th 2002 | 18: 18

I saw Harry Potter @ 1:40 this afternoon, and I was suprised by how cool is was. The special effects have greatly improved, and I think the fact that I saw it BEFORE The Two Towers enhanced its wickedness. Although there was a fucking ace 10 minute Two Towers trailer before the film started....

Anyway, back to HP. Chamber of Secrets begins with Harry (acne ridden Daniel Radcliffe) living with his horrid family again, being told to stay in thier son's 'second bedroom which they gave to him from the kindness of thier hearts' and because there is an important buisiness meeting about to go on downstairs, he must 'stay upstairs and pretend he doesn't exist' .
Harry goes upstairs and is greeted by Dobby, a downtrodden but hilariously funny house-elf (who looks fuck all like the elves in LotR, we aren't talking stunning blondes with bows and arrows here, we are talking long nosed, pointy eared, bulbous eyed grey creatures) jumping up and down on his bed. It becomes clear that Dobby is a self-flagilating but kind hearted chap who isn't used to being 'spoken to like an equal'. He warns Harry, in no roundabout way that if he returns to Hogwarts, danger awaits him, and there are generally strange goings on. Then, a flying car, with his mate Ron (the hilariously funny but just hit puberty and therefore his voice is breaking Rupert Grinch) and some of the other Weesley tribe in it. Ron announces that he is there to rescue Harry, and the lot of them speend off in the car. Later on, Harry meets Harmionee again (the obviously just hit puberty Emma Watson), and various other people who were in the other film, and have very silly names that I can't be arsed to write down. Anyway, in Diagon Alley (which sells magic supplies), Harry meets Gilderoy Lockheart (played by the camping it up Kenneth Branagh), a book writing, me, me me idiot who teaches at Harry's school. He also sees Draco Malfoy (eminem's lovechild, Tom Felton) and his rather obviously evil and queer father, Lucius Malfoy, (who is the bloke who plays him? O can't remember his bloody name, sorry). After a lot of oddness, Harry goes back to school in Ron's flying car, and the two of them manage to destroy it in the process, after nearly being eaten by a tree. Harry starts hearing voices, which doesn't seem to mean mental illness, but evil. He finds out about a mysterious 'CHAMBER OF SECRETS' (as the title suggests, ta da) which has a giant snake in it. Lots of strange but cool things happen, including a scene with a load of ickle spiders, and a bloody great talking spider called Aragog (could that be stolen from Lord of the Ring's ARAGORN perhaps? I think so, but I will let that one slide, after all, Viggo Mortenson isn't a giant spider, as far as I can tell.) They find out that this snake can petrify (that's freeze, kiddies) people just by looking at em through a reflection, or kill em if they look at it directly (stolen from Medussa.....? I think so, but yet again...i'll let it go) It petrifies a load of peeps, including a cat called Mrs something or other, and Harmionee. Harry discovers that someone died 50 years ago, and a load of events happen which lead to him killing a giant snake, fighting the memory of Lord Valdermort (who gave him the scar on his head) and, ultimately, saving the day. Hurrah for Hazza.
I don't want to say too much incase I spoil it for the few who haven't seen it yet: though I admit that even I, complete with pre-booked ticket and half an hour early, had to stand in a quewe that would make woodstock look like a small gathering. There are lots of reasons why you should see this film: it is witty, and the special effects kick serious arse, Ron Weesley, most notably Ron Weesley's face, is hilarious, and all he has to do is put on that 'gormless blank expression' and I will laugh. It helped that his voice was breaking, because one moment he would be screetching 'HARRY!!!' in times of danger, and at other times it was rather a loud bellow. Dobby is brilliant too, and keeps hitting himself with things, whihc I found most amusing. If that makes me evil, then, fine.
Even though Daniel Radcliffe is not the greatest actor in the world, he doesn't do badly here. And he looks like my cousin Ross. He does more than ever now, because he has lost some of the roundness of face that he had last time round, and my cousin is something of a lanky little bugger, and he does get stopped in the street and asked for autographs. Ron Weesley looks scarily like my brother used to when he was younger too. Why is it that my entire family are in this film?? Emma Watson spends most of the film being a smart arse or being petrified, which is a serious plus (she pissed me off last time, sorry) and the adult cast are brilliant. They do all deserve some kudos for this. If the next film improves as much as this one seems to have done, they may have a real childrens classic on thier hands. It did seem far too long, and that is probably because of the 3 hour-ish running time, but it didn't spoil the film for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And while I am sure I will like LOTR more, I am glad I saw this first. It was really cool, and I wish it well. I think it is a shame that anyone is even thinking of casting new kids to play this lot, because I think they are all brilliantly cast already, and of course they are going to change. I mean really, in Ron's words, bloody hell!! I'm sorry, but I think that Ron is absolutely hilarious. That boy has such a bloody stupid face! A very, very good film.
This film shows, if nothing else, that you can foil evil plans, defeat demonic wisards, even save the world, but you can't stop puberty.

Right, I only have a moment, coz I have to call Geraldine, but I wanna say that I am still here and will be changing the photos etc on the site and telling u more on SUNDAY. For now, I have added a kick ass photo from the TWO TOWERS, Lord of the Rings 2, which is out on December 18th, to the site (scroll) .
Cool? I think so.

So, what am I doing today? I am going to dinner at my nan and grandad's in around an hour and a half, recording Sleepy Hollow on Channel Four tonight (everyone in England must watch either that or Band of Brothers today)....and then going to sleep for a very long time. I have changed the coveted addy, as the thing I want to buy has changed....it is now what it is because it looks absolutely fantastic. I would like everything on the covet list, which is to the side--->
I am changing the photo of the monet as we speak....I got a really cool thing with Culture (Sunday Times)....a two sided poster of The Two Towers, and a large magazine with photos and added wonderfullness. I will shoot anyone who stands in my way of Wednesday 18th December, I really will. I intend to spend a good part of the first six months of next year sitting in the cinema watching that film (what's new, eh?) with my friend and comrade, Geraldine.
Apart from rigging up my tape, watching paint dry (litteral paint, mind), watching re-runs of Eastenders, sending texts, and now, typing, I have achieved a pitiful ammount today.
I wrote a couple of wistful poems the other day, which were a spur of the moment thing. The problem with me is, I can never actually say 'right, i am going to be creative'; I just occasionally go a bit mad, writing, drawing and, right now, planning to direct films. Don't ask. You reallly, really, don't want, or need, to know.




Ok, ok, they are for when we go to France. Happy now??

November 9th 2002 | 22: 04

I am tired to the point of actually passing out. I can�t go to sleep though, because my mum is watching a film on Channel Four downstairs.....and I have to sleep on the sofa because I can�t see my way around my room, because I don�t have a light bulb, because I am a lazy git.
So, here I am. Writing in my web log for the first time in a couple of days.....it�s strange, I used to write here every day, yet now it is more like every couple of days. Not on purpose, of course, it�s just that sometimes I am too tired/too busy etc to actually log into Geocities. Or sometimes it just refuses to actually work.

So, what has been going on of late?....I went shopping today (to Tesco�s, of all places) and then later on ordered a pizza.

My mum has been painting the kitchen for much of today, whilst listening to various theme songs, mostly the main scores from Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Babe.

The kitchen actually looks pretty cool now.

I sent Joe an e-card, because he hasn�t been online for a while, and spoke to Geraldine for about 2 hours on the phone.

She is planning her birthday, which isn�t until the first of January. She intends to force a load of her less enthusiastic friends to watch Lord of the Rings 1 on video at her house, and then to force them into the cinema to watch Lord of the Rings 2. She isn�t going to tell them what they are going to see, but pre-order tickets and tell them to go get some chairs. Then, once the films starts, there will be no escape.
Of course I am her partner in crime. This is going to be funny. I want to be able to see their faces when they realise what is going on, but, seeing as they turn the lights off as soon as the �feature presentation� is about to begin�.it will be slightly more difficult. Maybe I could take a torch with me, but I guess that if I blind them they won�t be able to watch the film, so it defeats the entire purpose of this exercise. Best not then.
Then, after the three hour running time is over, were going to have some form of Alcohol , force them to watch Buffy and Angel box-sets, play �Hogs of War� on Playstation, and order pizza. Now that�s a party. Now, talking of drink, I don�t get pissed easily. And I don�t smoke. I have been asked if I do, offered countless ciggies, amongst other substances, (but don�t tell anyone), and I have always said NO. Or, in most cases: FUCK OFF YOU SAD BASTARD. I don�t see the point in starting that vicious circle. I hate all the drinks that are supposed to get you really pissed, and I have only actually felt physically ill from drink once, and that is a long story that ended in me falling down the stairs (I am fine) and one of my mates slipping up in a bucket of another mates sick. I don�t ever mix my drinks, and I even turned down a fucking bacardi breezer coz I had had something else that day, so, really, I am rather sensible. Especially for a 14 year old who is constantly called �eccentric�. Not so eccentric when it comes to things that matter, though.
I mean really, is me singing Bohemian Rhapsody in a car and fighting my younger cousin with a samurai sword really cause for complaint? It�s weird, because it�s not like I suddenly go mad. When you first meet me, or don�t know me, you would think that I am a fairly quiet, sedate, mellow person. But scratch the surface, and although the �anything goes� nature is still present and correct, I don�t have an awful lot of patience, and although I don�t react with violence (I�m not saying I wouldn�t if I had to, but, on the whole, I don�t) I can say things I later regret if I�m not careful. I also have pretty contradicting views on things�..like I want to save the planet yet spend a lot of time on a computer, I like to be outside, yet also like watching films, etc, etc, etc. Enough on the drink subject. Back to the films. Next Saturday, Geraldine is coming over and we are going to go watch Harry Potter. We will have to get there about eight hours in advance, or book tickets or something.

I might actually log into messenger when Geraldine is here and we can talk to Joseph. I know he loves Geraldine so. (I am such a wind up).

Not only is it Christmas, Two Towers time and other such madness soon, but it is my brother�s birthday! Yes, Danny will soon be eighteen.
I am not going to tell you our party plans, they are a secret.
One last thing that I can remember, just before I go:
I haven�t changed the photo or the picture of the moment in ages, I know, but I will do soon�possibly tomorrow. And the next major layout change will be nearer to Christmas. I have a pretty cool idea in mind, so just wait and see. Bye for now.

I have returned! The inspectors are coming round on Friday @ 11....which should be ok, seeing as I have been working. and not skiving. I just realised: The Two Towers comes out on December 18th....that's only 41 days!! Geraldine and I fully intend to spend most of our young lives watching this film, and the other two. She is working overtime in order to have enough money to pay for the tickets, and I, well, I am working my arse off so that I can pass my GCSE's next year. See, I don't have mocks like every other bugger. I have to do two this year, and two the next. This year it's English and History. I want to write/work behind the scenes/report and be in some way related to the media. I have always been something of a geek as far as media/english is concerned, which is wierd, seeing as at some point in my life I fully intend to campaign for the environment, be it writing letters, getting arrested or living in a tree, I would be fully prepared to be a bit of an activist. You see, most people just think I'm a bit mad, or, as they kindly put it, exccentric. I lost any kind of chance of looking at my school years with some kind of nostalgic glow, last night. As you probably know, it was Bonfire Night.
The fireworks were great, if a little dangerous, and I was sure to scarper before the cars blew up, but that is another story entirely. I also was 'lucky enough' to bumb into an old 'school friend', Hayley. Hayley is a strange, vast, gigantic, casper looking girl. And no, I am not being bitchy. She really is. And she speaks with a thick brummy accent. She has a great tendency to slag people off, as she was sure to last night. This is how the conversation went.
I tried desperately to avoid her gaze at first, but when she shouted "Naomi!" at me from about two centemetres away, and, remember, the vastness, it was pretty impossible. Then, she started talking about how she hadn't seen me in ages, basically because she hadn't made any kind of contact, and I didn't have her phone number. She then commenced to slag off Geraldine, and various other people. I then made my excuses, told her that she should hang about with people she likes and that like her back, and that I had to go...away. Far away. She is far too tall and imposing, and I couldn't help but think that for the entire conversation, she was lusting after the burgers that were being prepared just in front of her. Oh well, at least now I know. One person I did see recently and do still like though is Kerry. She is very tall, but beanpole like, and cool. Yet exccentric. Like anyone who remains mates with me for more that ten minutes. I guess you gotta mix with those that suit you. And I can't help but wonder why someone who is 15 yet insists that people are being "taken away" from her is considered more mature that my little crowd of creative peeps. I gotta say, if Hayley counts for normal, I wouldn't change any of us for the world.

Sorry, I haven't written anything in a few days.... I had a horrid day today. It started with me and my mum shouting for various reasons, then Dan came round, and we are all tired and generally pissed off with our current situations, so there were occasional crackles. Mum has had her room redecorated, and everything has had to be shifted round and moved. More sparks. I have been, quite frankly, a miserable git. Not alot was said, it was more what wasn't said that was so bad...and that goes for all of us. I am now listening to depressing music (The Cranberries: Linger/The Verve: Bitter Sweet Symphony/Coldplay: In my Place/you get my drift.) Anyway, I was gunna maybe talk to Joe, but he's not online..... Feeling better now I have written everything down. Funny that! Has anyone else seen the news today? Apparently the fact that there were fans of Harry Potter fans at the premiere of Chamber of Secrets, the new harry potter film (shocking and most news worthy I know), is worthy of TEN MINUTES discussion on the news, on each channel. Isn't there enough real stuff going on in the bloody world??? We have terrorism, evil....a serial rapist....the prospect of world war....yet, still, the fact that FANS TURNED UP to the Harry Potter premiere is news. I personally am not the greatest fan of Harry Potter. I thought that the first film was quite cool, and I have to admit I have never really been tempted to read the books, although, what with all the damn hype, I may steal Becky's Harry Potter stash and have a look, as she has wanted me to do for years, especially since I went to see the first film with her. Yet, despite all of that, I admit, it is quite a cool concept, and judging by the little of Hazza and Co I have seen, it is quite good. But NOTHING is worthy of that ammount of HYPE!!! Rant over. Danny has a theory that when LotR: The Two Towers comes out on December 19th, it's gunna 'piss all over' Harry Potter because of LotR's epic battle scenes and general fabness. I personally don't like comparing the two....Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are two very different concepts, and both have massive fanbases. Ok, so they are released within a couple of months of each other....who gives a fuck? THEY ARE DIFFERENT!!! Why the hell do so few people get that??? I'm gunna go away before I fall asleep. I doubt I am making much sense, coz I'm a bit pissed and quite hungry/and tired/and stressed. Cya l8r.

I have spent all of today wondering what the hell the time is. For anyone who doesn't know, the clocks went back..or possibly forwards, I dunno, yesterday. I had a lovely dinner at my Nan and Grandad's, and I leant Danny some Buffy tapes. He is coming over tommorow. I am very tired. I think we lost an hour today.

I have had a mad day. I was studying on the computer for a lot of it. I have to do my tests tomorrow, then I am going to Nan's. I have been working on a murder mystery for us to act out for the camera when we go to France, which will incorporate Joe doing a scene from The Shining....("Here's Jobey!!") a couple of piss take adverts, and our version of The Blair Witch Project.
It will be such a laugh!!! Joe hasn't been online at all today.....wonder where he is? On a completely different note, at some point, in a couple of weeks or maybe months, when I get tired of this layout, there will be a Christmas one, and then there will be a brief stint being hosted at Blogger while I sort out another layout and then....who knows?
I have to work on Nomio Networks.......Joe uploaded it for me and I haven't had time to add any content yet! Getting round to it though. One thing at a time. I have added my workload to the site.....look at the menu.
Anyway, I have to go now. I am starting to get a bit headachy......not a good thing. See you tommorow!

I watched Blair Witch with Dan and Mum yesterday.
I have been studying all of today....and I then spoke to Geraldine.
I was writing a message here....and then the power went.
Yay.
So anyway, when I was talking to Geraldine.....
We have decided that when we are in France, we are going to make our own 'piss take' versions of the following films/shows....maybe with Joe and Ross if they are willing to have a laugh.
We are hiring a video camera, so we can tape everything!!
So here they are:

The Blair Witch Project
The Matrix
Titanic
Harry Potter
The Shining
Big Brother
Buffy
Eastenders
Friends
The X Files

If Joe/Ross/anyone else has any suggestions ....let me know via the form!!
So...what else.....?
There is a Halloween Do down at the Village Hall on...Halloween....but I am NOT going (it is my idea of hell).
I have told Geraldine that if anyone I dislike comes up here I will set the dog on em, which she found very funny!!
Apparently, everyone is going there because they all think it's going to be 'wicked'.
Beg to differ. I have been to those discos/parties and they are shit.
Last year, I just got pissed, stole a scream mask and annoyed the DJ. I got him to play a load of crap. It was so very funny. I then attacked the irritating 'it girls' and harassed Kim Martin (the local whore...I'm sorry, but she is...she is only thirteen, but still, she is a TOTAL tart.)
So there are many reasons why I won't go.
On the few occasions I have been to the Village Hall parties...they have all been very, very dull, and normally ended in everyone falling out.
So now I am watching Celebrity Fit Club. Oh the joy.
Better go now, going to sort a few things, and then I may post here again tonight...but then again...I may not.

I am so very tired.
Dan is coming round today (my brother).
We were going to get him to watch The Blair Witch Project, but I think he is bringing something over himself.
I am currently waiting for a page to load (a history page...I am studying).
It's taking ages. In this time I have managed to bloody load Geocities.
I have lots of cool things to watch tonight: Buffy (have to record), League of Gentlemen (record), Graham Norton (watch).
I was watching RI:SE today (very silly program, I gotta say).
I am going to give you a link to Fiona's (a girl I despise with a hate that cannot possibly be described) Guestbook.
I just have to find the bloody address of the site!!!
I am listening to Radio Buffy....it's pretty cool actually.
If you have Media Player, Mp3 etc....check it out.
Will post again later, the page has now loaded and I have to go work!!

I have just discovered something that it very, very cool. Madame Tussauds has got a Buffy Waxwork.
How cool is that??
You can read the full article about it here and if you are interested, you can view some classy photos here.
Last, but not least, there is a featurette about the waxwork here.

Work, work and more bloody work.
That's all I have to say.
I watched 'Wild West' last night.....well....
It was, quite simply, crap.
It was awful. Really, seriously, bad.
So very bad, infact, that it was rather cringe making.
There was, for a start, all that Twin Peaks stuff (the music, and the finding of what they thought was a body on the beach, all like the beggining of Twin Peaks)
I just thought it was silly. It wasn't actually at all funny.
It was so bad!!!!
I can't get over how awful it was. Sorry.
I will move on.
Holiday wise, I now know where we are all going to be sleeping.

It's pretty complex as there are loads of rooms.
We are going to have such a laugh.
Oh the fun it will be! I'm sorry, but I know who is going, and there is no way that this WON'T be fun!

Hello!!!
I have some tests to do on Saturday and Sunday.
Noty major tests, but little tests which I have to hand in to the ICS so they can grade my work.
It's all self motivated, ya see.
I went to the supermarket today, which was the opposite of fun.
We did get some really nice food though, for example Country Crisp cereal, whcih is even betterthat Joe's beloved Cookie Crisp (which I agree, is absolutely scrummable.)
I feel alot better now actually: I have been on a bit of a downer since last week.
Everything is shifting into place. I have been talking to Geraldine, (not that I ever wasn't, but ya know what I mean), and I recently started sorting out ideas of places to go with Keza, my other really great mate.
I keep getting bloody growing pains in my legs (in my kness to be precise), and have, as a result, pretty much rocketed over the last couple of months.
I am about 5 foot 5 at the moment....but I keep growing.....and who knows where it will end?
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind getting taller, but it's the fact that the growing pains actually sometimes make me nearly fall over.
I was pushing the trolley round tescos and I lost my balance when I let go (because I had low blood sugar and because I have these pains).
They aren't that bad, and they are only occasional, but it's life I have them for about 6 days and then I grow.
I am freaky, and will make no apologies for my freakiness.
Anyway, the grand covet can be seen here or on the menu to your left.
I am going to watch that 'Wild West' thing tonight (BBC1, UK, 9pm) because it's set in Cornwall, and sounds alot like where my nan lives.
I will be back later. Gunna go sort out some stuff on Launch and reopen some old sites and make some new ones)

I have added some pictures from the place we will be staying in June 2003 (in France).
Just look at the menu to the side and the subsection entitled 'France Photos'.
Looks nice, no?
Talking of pictures, I just think that this one is very cool:

It is from the Bluffy Cartoon (which I publish on this site...scroll down).
I am going to naff off now, not least because I am bloody tired.
I have to go grocery shopping (so it's not even fun shopping) 2moro, and I need SLEEP!
Cya 2moro!

We are going to try and rent a video camera for the trip to France, and I think that would be f******g funny!
We could do our own version of The Blair Witch Project (I could steal my brothers duffle hat, aim the camera at my nose and whisper "I'm so scared right now...were being hunted...." Joe could have a nervous breakdown and throw our map-the only chance we have of getting out of the woods, in the river, and Ross could dissapear and then shout things at us from the woods (yet not really be there).

I have generally shuffled the sites content around, and added a couple of new things.
I am going to go and have my lunch in a moment, but first, I just want to let you know what I have been up to.
Last night, I watched The Blair Witch Project. I also recorded it.
Brilliant, but fucking scary at night.
I am not easily spooked, but the way that those students wree gradually getting more and more hungry and more and more worried, and the way it ended....not to mention the twigs/stones and the things they wrere hearing at night.
I guess what is so scary about that film is the fact that you know from the start that they don't survive, and you are witnessing people's terror.
I still think that everyone should see it at some point.
Admittedly I think the same about Schindler's List (you have to watch that at school in History when you are fifteen in the UK, so you should get to watch it). The two films are very different, but both have a profoud effect on you.
Back to Blair Witch. Excellent.
Needless to say, I couldn't sleep that night, and stayed awake till 4am watching TV.

Ok, here is an essay that Joe has written.
It is for his school, and it's about me.
This is apparently what I am like.
I wouldn't like to say.....just make your mind up for yourself!
You don't know me, so don't judge me.
This is merely my cousins opinion, and, although I have known him all my life....he may be wrong.

||JOES ESSAY||---->

Naomi Vowles
A CyberPie slice of lunacy

My cousin Naomi Vowles is, for want of a better word, mad. Being my youngest cousin (but still older than me at 14) I've known her all my life, and despite her moving to Cornwall we've still kept in touch via the Internet (we both work on the same website, Cyberpie). She has long blonde hair (which is constantly being brushed by some form of hairbrush) and a room basically filled with Buffy memorabilia and more hairbrushes. It's a rare thing to go near her stuff though, let alone shove it in a DVD player. I don't actually see her that often though, mainly because of my parent's general unwillingness to make a 6 hour drive down to Cornwall too often. Perhaps mad isn't the best word. Maybe the best word is eccentric. She has plenty of schemes and plans-due to her poor eyesight in one eye, she has decided that she wants to get a monocle. This is despite the fact that she'll look like a cross between Larisa Oleynik and Patrick Moore with one. Then there was the plan to get on Graham Norton's Channel 4 show by creating a religion based around chickens, with Michael Green and Lew Grade being gods of entertainment. It goes without saying that this was merely a continuation of the Cornish cider-drinking tradition...especially the Michael Green part. Then there was Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Mercury was spinning in his grave when, on the last night of my holiday in Cornwall, me, her and my little brother sang (if you can call it singing) Queen's epic in the back of my grandparent's car, and we almost got done for noise pollution. It was truly like listening to the Changing Rooms music backwards, interspersed with the Carlton jingle on a honky-tonk piano. Naff, then.

All that was eclipsed by the mock samurai fight. Now, if you see five teenagers rustling cows in the field opposite your house, what do you do? a) yell at them, b) kindly tell them to naff off or c) run outside with a Liverpool football shirt on your head and fight a similarly dressed person with a plastic sword? Naomi, who may I remind you wants a monocle, opted unilaterally for c) and started the battle. Naturally, I had to be the Greenpeace beatnik who came out, protested against war and was then appropriately stabbed on the chest. OK, I chose to do that, but still...

Although she's mad/eccentric/downright bonkers, she does have serious views on things. Things like George W Bush (he's insane), my brother (he's insane), Ian Huntley (he's not insane) and TV-four episodes of Eastenders good, two episodes of Britain�s Sexiest...Female Nurses bad. I agree with her on all those counts, just not the last two, for obvious (and rather pointless in an English essay about your cousin, which will be handed in at some point�oops?) reasons.

Have stopped being a boring git and decided to write an actual message here.
Joe and I were discussing our trip to France and both think it is likely to resemble Big Brother 4.
Trying to track down a camcorder and camera (and film for both) so I can capture the entire trip on lens.
Gotta go now, being shouted at.

I am just about to go get on with some work, but I thought I would post a message.
First of all, I set up a form which you can fill out if you want to contact me but can't be bothered to send an e-mail.
I am just checking CyberPie for new messages and then @ about 2pm I am going into town to get a few things.
Feel free to leave me a message in my new Guestbook. Cya.

Right, all the content is up now, just about. This is where the weblog will go, and although there isn't alot here at the mo, the content will grow, and there is going to be a site a bit like cyberpie in terms of layout for the extra content. That will be Nomio Networks.

On a completely different note, Geraldine is definately going to France with us at the end of June. Joe should be pleased about that!
It's going to be a quick message from me just about every day from now on, but not much more till after November 8th, coz that is when the home-school inspectors turn up, and I have to cram till then.
Gunna go write in my CyberPie journal and then it's off to bed for me. A few early nights are in order guys.
Bye for now.

New site, temporary layout, hope you like.

I found a review of the new Buffy box game...this bloke seems a bit scinical (and a bit sad if you ask me) but it's worth a read anyway, and there are photos!
