Sketches, Markers and nice Students

Well, it's been ANOTHER long while, as I sort of aforementioned in my previous post.
So, yeah...
...
Uh...
Yeah, so, I have a new YouTube channel started, called OgdenFace, where (hopefully) I shall be posting my sketches and stuff to. Just random little doodles, spur of the moment type of things. I currently have one video up, though that should change quite shortly.
Speaking of doodles, my room is at the moment being subjected to much, much promarkering of random mathematical equations and the suchlike, like the equation for the graph of a loop-de-loop, and the fact that 16/64 = 1/4 when you cancel the 6s, because, y'know, that's how fractions work.

Now, the main event of this summer for myself and fellow students around both Ireland, and across the world, is going to be CTYI.
This three week long course is one of the big highlights of a CTYIzen's life, the meeting up of old friends, the making of new, the exciting and interesting learning experience...
And spar.
But it all goes so quickly, so fast!
So I've decided to try to make a blog post every day of this marvelous adventure.
I probably won't actually make another blog post until the course starts, being over a week away.
So until then, I bit you a good... Uh... Week.

Adieu.

Trolls and Relationships

I'd like to start off by making a very clear point.
Nobody.
Likes.
Trolls.

Well, I mean, there may be the other few trolls that will join in for the lulz, but by the word "nobody", I was referring to "no people". Trolls aren't people when they're trolling.

This YouTube user, "godhatesproddies" (which in itself is just plain rudeness, on a religious level), decides to be trollin' on all of my videos. And it's not even good trolling. It's just plain rude. If I were to troll, I'd try to seriously piss them off with what I say. This guy/girl is pissing me off because of how bad he is at it.
I mean, really, am I so bad as to not deserve a GOOD troll? I try to be modest, but I put WORK into those videos! The least you can do is  reflect that in your efforts as a troll. Really, I am truly ashamed.


On a completely different note, however, it's looking that 2012 is gonna be a pretty good year (Happy new year and all that)!
Reasons being many.

For a start, I'm as close as ever to all teh peoples in Wexford, especially one in particular ;) (more on that later). I'm also almost finished my first chiptune/8-bit album of sorts, called THE SUN; made completely and utterly on Audacity; ain't even mad. And it'll soon be available for download, for a price. :P That being said, I'm gonna give away one or two... Maybe... It depends on how nice people are. :) Also, me and my friend Brian are gonna be making a short movie for the Fresh Films Festival. Gonna be awesome :)

Now, back to my one in particular. Well, I had known her for some time now... Well over a year, at any rate. So anyway, The question was popped into our conversation, on the second last day of 2011 (Well done at 2011 for being a good year NOT.). There was a long pause (queue nervousness, anxiety, etc) When finally the little icon of the person typing came up again...
...
...
Hurry up, goddammit...
...
...
And...
...
...
I received a very long reply (I was assuming it was one of kindness, and asking to remain friends, and the suchlike), but on reading it, it turned out... Quite the opposite.
Her search for a clever and applicable quote to the situation was fruitless, and so she just said "Hell yes".

I was sort of blown back at this stage, to be honest.
Like, REALLY blown back.
As if the computer itself had uttered a thu'um in my general direction.
But anyway, that was that, and we got to meet up the very next day :D Which was... Fun, to say the least ;)

But then there was a creepy old lady in town... **shudder**

ANYWAY.
From the looks of things, 2012 should be a good year. I mean, it's not gonna be brilliant, but then again, no year ever is. I'm just HOPING... Since it SEEMS to be starting off better... That it might be a better year than last year :)

Anyway, I should hope that I should be able to post here more often than I have been. That being said, it's still most likely be a month, if not months. Anyway.

Check out Brian's channel; I'm in his latest video, and I made the intro music!:

Awesome!

Erm... I've had this blog since May 2009. And since then, I have gotten 934 views.
But considering I've had it for about 2 years and 4 months, or 28 months, this would seem to go for about 33 posts a month (Woo windows calculator).

BUT.

Last month, I got not 33, but 132 views;
Refer back to title.

So basically, thanks! Whoever you are, reading my blog, I thank you for adding 1 to the little counter on the top right.

:D

Disputatio tibi posterius.

EDIT:


It wasn't last month I got those views; it was SO FAR THIS MONTH.
Also, it's gone up to 160 :D

Ok, I've had enough.

I have been waiting for MONTHS for some of the blogs I follow to update.

I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And did they update?
Lemme check NO.

So in a fit of utter frustration, I'm going to update mine.

Summer is nearly at its end, sadly. The trees of rich green are slowly decaying and dropping their crisp brown leaves to the ground, the weather losing its summer shine... And worst of all, school. But not for another week or two.

After being in france for a week or so with my friend Macdara and his family, we traveled across the border into Spanish territory. We parked our rented car in an underground car park and surfaced, looking at the building we were under.

The Salvidor Dalí Museum.

And so we went to the main desk, got tickets, and strolled inside.

AAAAHHH.
I DON'T EVEN.

So after our near torturous visit, we left Spain, on a plane, back to Dublin airport, where we were driven home.

Two days later I arrived in DCU for a three week course of awesomeness.

CTYI was set up many years ago by Colm O'Reilly, and since its establishment, some pretty crazy things have happened in there.
Firstly, you have all the different traditions, you have all the memorable places, the discos, the trips on Saturdays and Sundays, canteen food, and the ultimate week as well. You have Tranny Tuesday, Pirate Wednesday, Dressing gown Thursday, and Formal Friday. You have the activities, you have quotes, you have all the wonderful notes at the end (Thanks to all who signed mine :P) And you have the reunions that follow.

But most importantly, you have the friends you make there, and the memories you share together, and nothing, in my opinion, can beat that.

Well, maybe Fiachra.
