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!:

Ever heard of "Freedom of speech, thought and religion"?
The school had it's annual Beginning of Year Mass yesterday. All of the Roman Catholics in the school have to go to this, but the people of other religions are allowed to stay back in our study hall until near the end when awards are given out.
There is an official register of the religions of the students in our school. I am down as "Church of Ireland", and so am exempt from the mass. However, a friend of mine, who went to the study hall, was on this register as "Roman Catholic", though she is actually atheist; Brid.
In school today, Brid was called out to the principal's office, Ms. Threadgold. We watched her leave the classroom.
About 15 minutes later, she arrived back. Her eyes were bloodshot. She didn't say much.
After class, she told us that Ms. Threadgold ate the head off of her, saying that Brid was a "Disgrace to the school and to the Catholic church". She was then told to apologize to her form teacher, and to one of the nuns in our school, Sr. Madelaine.
In the afternoon, when school finished, and Brid had already apologized to her form teacher, she went up to Sr. Madelaine to apologize.
Sr. Madelaine was the person that told Threadgold about Brid not being at the mass. And she actually apologized to Brid, as she didn't want things to get this far out of control, saying she never should have mentioned it.
There are a few things that bother me about this.
Firstly, as students, we are actually NOT allowed to change our religion on the official register. So basically, if your parents decide to force their religion into your life, there's not a single thing you can do to change it.
Secondly, Brid was singled out to be given out to, even though there are DOZENS of students who stayed home yesterday so that they would not have to go to mass. They have received no punishment, and have not been shouted at for quarter of an hour either. And whereas Brid was there at the end of the mass, for the awards being handed out, these other people weren't there at all.
And thirdly, the school can supposedly force you to do things depending on your religion. Which, in my opinion, in just plain wrong.
