So will you be at tobys this weekend? It is this weekend isn't it? I'll see u there if so :-).
Yeah defo read david copperfield, as you know i LOVED it!! Im also interested in reading bleak house as well, will prob read great expectations next as my next Charles Dickins project. You'll be pleased to hear that i am reading (not odd thomas im afraid) wind up bird chronicles, not that far into it but my interest is defo peaked by it haha. Im such a slow reader though it will take me a while to finish it, even though i do tend to read during my lunch break abit.
I've finished mass effect now lol, im being good and not doing it again although i kind of want to, im gonna be strong.
Yeah defo agree with you that the quarians are douches, they are very much all about themselves, and fuck everyone else. tali is abit like that as well but alot more acceptable as she learns from things that happen, like how she says about how she thinks differently now about the geth because of her experiences with legion. Aww i love legion! "Shepard-commander" lol my shepard always backs the geth as i am quite a fan of them. I will say make sure your paragon is quite high before going on to do the last Rannoch quest.
As for your romances then it sounds to me that you are now in one with specialist trayner, obvs she isn't a member of your squad but you can be in a relationship with her, so don't worry your shepard won't be alone. The part where you can go with garrus to shoot bottle in the citdel was awesome when your in a relationship with him, i was defo a fan of that scene. My last shep was involved with kaiden which i thought was ok, i kind of never forgave him for acting like a douche when he sees shepard just after you rescue that colony in the 2nd game, he apologises for it and stuff but then was like 'i know why you cheated' meaning with thane and i thought like telling him to fuck off as you were the prick! But i didn't i just let shep go with him in the end and there were some nice scenes between them near the end, so i was happy enough.
I've never taken traynor up on her offer to join her in the shower but i've watched a few clips on youtube of romance scenes that i was unlike to take and yes that one is anit odd, kind of abit 'fanboys wetdream-esque' but yeah ok lol. Im totally on board with you keeping thane in your heart, that email..... Sob i had to stop looking at it in the end, it made me too sad :(.
Anyway, so i've been playing dragon age as a way to deter me from ME, its working at the moment as im quite enjoying it. Ive had to restart several times though, the first time was after a few hours of play which is something i normally do when i play these kind of games, i play abit assess the controls and gameplay and my options then i start again with abit of knowhow etc etc but then i had to start again because one of the options when you customise your character is to choose the kind of voice they have, its quite weird but yeah i decided to go for 'mystical' which was an option, but as the character doesn't take much it took me a while to realise that my character had the most annoying cheerleadery pathetic voice ever, and yeah i just couldn't deal with it, everytime she was fighting she was all 'oh im so going to kill you' and all that shit and i was like NO! So yeah had to start again haha. Ive gone with the voice option Experienced now, its way better haha.
I don't know what it is but i do have a big thing for voices now, like since i watched so much anime its like it really matters that the voice fits and is not annoying or really blah, its a reason i can't play as broShep in ME cause his voice, although is quite hot is also very emotionless and blah and so does not fit the Shepard character. My opinion anyway.
So yeah anyway Dragon age is really good despite the voice disaster, its different in lots of ways but also similar, like you can have romances and stuff and take different pathways which im guessing is a bioware thing as ive heard the starwars game they did is like that too.
Awww can't wait for the skyrim dlc next month, i feel i should make some sort of stand against bethesda and refuse to buy it but ha whats the point, no one would care and i would lose out, so yeah not gonna happen lol.
Also i watched a trailer for the elder scrolls online game, id link it but can't be bothered to find it at the mo as im on my phone but it is really cool. When i get home i'll link it to you. You might not be interested but you do like epic things and it is quite epic so yeah i show it to you anyhow ;).
Its taken me an hour to write this lol so i'll shut up now, hopefully see u at the weekend. Enjoy your day and rest of the week.
Loves matey

Hows pete doing? I assume he went to work but i bet the cold (if it was a cold) lasts him the rest of the week. I've still got remnants of a chesty cough, that most of the time is non exsistant but every so often it creeps up on me and i feel like i have to cough something really gross out of my lungs. Haha sounds horrid doesn't it but thats what it is, never manage to actually cough anything of course but thats what it feels like. Anyway its horrible and has lasted about two weeks now :(. Hopefully pete feels better soon.
Yeah i bought dragon age for like a fiver in game, i think its supposed to be quite different to mass effect and tom has been playing it whilst im on my 3rd round and says its good but different. I've heard both good and bad reviews but will judge for myself when im ready to hang ME up for good -which now that im on the 3rd one again is becoming difficult, but im gonna be strong and resist this time haha. Was talking to my friend iain about it on the weekend, he says its one of his favourite series of games, which obvs i agreed with, he also said that Thane was his favourite character lol, its odd cause until this playthrough i admit i never actually paid much attention to Thane, i nearly always took garrus and tali out with me on missions so he hardly ever came out with me, but now that i romanced him i realised how cool he was and actually the death scene was just that little bit extra sad this time round even though it was pretty much the same as the other times when you don't romance him, i think it was actually the email you get from him after he's passed that really got to me, even though my shepard is continuing the relationship she had with kaiden from the first game now, she (as in I) still go back and reread the email multiple times, i guess we can't let it go, not deep down *sigh* and *sniff*. I still think that Garrus is the best male counterpart for a Femshep though, just because they go well together as best friends that have become lovers and there just isn't the heartbreak there. Which i feel is defo what a Shep in ME3 doesn't need, what she does need is abit of lovin and abit of stability to get her through the sleepless nights. Anyway i'll won't continue to bang on about it cause i know you probably don't really care so much, but yeah its defo something i think about alot at the moment during my obsessiveness :-/.
So anyway well done on giving up the caffeine matey, and i say that not because its caffeine but because giving up on anything that you are hooked on is extremely hard and i have alot of respect for people that do it. No matter what it is. Still giving it up is bound to do good things to your health in the long run as well as short term, better sleep is definitely a bonus. Also one cup in the morning wouldn't hurt, so i think your safe there. Do you find you drink more water as well, whenever i don't have a cup of tea in the day time i always find that i've drunk more water and that can only really be a good thing. I wouldn't say i wouldn't be able to function without a tea or coffee, plenty of days i go by without one but when im working if i feel a little stressed or a little bored i always feel a good cuppa is in order to sort me out, it contains antioxidants that make you feel slightly more relaxed and shit which i imagine is why people drink so much, but there are plenty of other drinks that contain that, healthier ones as well. Do you like green tea? That is supposed to be full of them but with no caffeine, i actually quite like it but never drink it for some reason. And of course peppermint is the fucking bees knees, i love it!! And it works wonders in the stomach lol.
Anyway hope you get home soon, its freaking cold out there by the way, was waiting for the bus and was thinking how it was so not about waiting for buses ugh :-/.
lots of love xxxx
Hope your enjoying your day, even if its a ling winded one. I will say though that i really hope this snow fucks off soon, i can't really ride my bike when its like this and travelling is um.... Difficult from where i live. That said i got the bus this morning to go to a training course, which im on now. Its a course for a potentially new job which is kind of like the NHS direct but rather than going to an interview and doing a small test on medical knowledge which the typical average joe doesn't have, you go on a four week training course that from all regards seems quite gruelling so you either pass it or you don't, so hopefully i do although that remains to be seen with me as im dumb but haha we'll see....
Anyway its all about multiple cups of coffee and tea :) which thankfully is free and on tap.
I'm so far behind with my manga now that it would be like starting again but i will try to catch up with certain ones soon, berserk and haru ride i really care about so will continue with them definitely, but may just drop some that im not to bothered about.
As for anime, i really need to catch up with the likes of naruto and gintama so at the moment they are at the top of my list, but if that ever happens then i may start something new. Samurai stuff definitely interests me so the one about the shinsegumi your watching is defo something i would like. Actually i reckon you should watch samurai champloo, it is really good and quite different like its got a very hiphop style soundtrack but obvs is set in the late 1800's just when japan was being discovered by other countries, the same sort of time as gintama i guess. But its strange as Japan was very behind in the times, like the industrial revolution was going on in london at that time where as japan had no idea what trains and factories etc was. Obviously now look at them haha probably the most technology advanced country in the world!
Anyway yeah animes about the history of japan i like alot and from what you've said about it as well, im defo interested.
So once im done with my mass effect obsession i will be able to move onto other things. I bought (very cheaply) dragon age which is also made by bioware so as a means to help me progress i might play that, hopefully not as religiously though haha. Also very happy about the DLC finally coming out for skyrim :-D.
Anyway mate, hope your well.
Take care
Xx
Yeah maybe i'll woo Thane, it is putting Shepard through even more misery though, don't think she needs anymore but i'll see once i start talking to him, if i remember rightly the option 'i want you Thane' comes up, haha very subtle.
Xx
Anyway i thought about it and wonder whether you had a DLC or something, that might have given you the option to set your choices from ME1. when i first played ME2 i had a secondhand copy and the DLC included in the game had a code that had already been used, but when i bought the trilogy it came with all the DLC's so i was able to pick up extra squad members and missions from ME2 id never played before. So it was defo worth buying it again for that reason.
Anyway im really glad you chose to keep Wrex alive, even if you didn't know who or what he was at the time it was a smart move. Basically the summit your headed to leads into his mission and it is awesome, the end part of it i was like :-O and also :,-(. Actually i was pretty much like that all the way through the game.
Anyway yes im a big fan of the GarrusXShepard pairing, as im on ME2 now i was considering going for a relationship with Thane as he was the only one i had not wooed yet but now that my Shep's hanging round Garrus again im thinking i might just go with him again haha, he is afterall Shepards most loyal crew member, lasting through all 3 games (unless of course he dies at the end of the 2nd one, ugh actually can't imagine what that would be like, not worth considering:-/) but im with you on the idea of a cross species romance, defo makes things more interesting, also and unless you follow the renegade options to the latter then Shepard comes across as quite an open minded willing to dabble in inter species relationships kind of gal/guy.
Male shepard has bigger choice for romance, i think if i would go for a girl it would be tali, apparently she takes her mask off for broShep if they romance, i do think about playing it just so i can see what a quarian looks like, one day maybe, one day.
So your doing some side missions, make sure do the 'Grissom academy' one (if you haven't already) as soon as you get it as its timed and if you go and do three or four missions after it becomes avaliable it will expire, I made that mistake on my first playthrough, was totally gutted, also i think you'll like it :).
Well matey, enough fangirlism for tonight, tomorrow is a whole nother day haha.
Loves xxx
Actually i really like in ME3 that the crew move around the normandy and to the citadel, they don't just stay in their designated areas like in ME2 and if you go and join them when they're somewhere else you can listen to the conversations, most of the time its pretty interesting. One time i walked into the cockpit to see joker, and garrus was there as well, it was quite amusing listening to their conversation.
So you will have a few options come up for some potential romances later, most of them are yuri ones though lol.
In the future when i do a broShep im defo gonna pair him with Kaiden Alenko (not sure if you have him or Ashley?) is pretty hot in ME3 and i think he really would go quite nicely into a yaoi pairing, prob the reason the option is there for all the yaoi fangirls of the world and for the gay players as well of course.
Xx
Anyway in admist of my constant coughing fits, i managed to finish Me1 and now moving on to the second game again, haha its become so familar now i can swim through it, was tempted to play it in 'insanity' but chickened out, i can never play harder levels no matter how used to the game i am.
Well have fun with mass effect 3, my god its so awesome, throws you into the story straight away and Shepard is so tortured in this game, it really made the character so much more appealing and human. Theres a lot of hate out there for this game but personally its my favourite of the three.
Anyways i'll leave you to it and get on with defeating the collectors.
Also good idea about copying what i write before pressing the reply button, i actually always think about doing that just after i've pressed it haha. It is so mother annoying when mal/phone/god try to mess with my messages. Its like my phone can't stand the overload of fangirlism and malfunctions or something, it seems to happen more often when i do a particular large spew of fangirl. Hmmmm i think i might have cracked the mystery.....
Haha yes i am playing mass effect again! I know i know.... Tom actually tried hiding it from me, said he wanted his nee-chan back (actually said that as well- prob to try and inspire sympathy from me) but he didn't hide it that well -in the dirty laundry basket- so i found it relatively easy and yes was weak to the lure of it.
Its just everytime i play it, i discover another reason to love it more, like some little detail i missed before that i notice this time round and think wow thats so cool, also amazingly although this is my third playthrough im still not bored of it, but this time is definitely going to be the last one for a while. 3 times in two months is not something to be proud of.
Anyway yay! That your gonna start ME3, i imagine it will be abit different for you as it was for me as i realised that playing ME1 has a lot of consequences to 3 and the default settings on the game mean that you will miss out on Wrex unfortunately, he's a character from the first game, a Krogan who is part of your team but half way through you have an option to save him or kill him and if you save him he has a big part to play in 3 (in what i would say is arguably the best mission in the game) but by default he is dead if you never played ME1 so you have a different Krogan instead but one not as good as Wrex or as friendly. lol aww i love the Krogans actually, definitely my favourite species in the series, they're history is so fucked up!and i always make my Shepard into a full Krogan sympathiser and a Geth sympathiser lol she's a total defender of all the galaxy's misunderstood creatures.
Anyway im just gonna mention just incase that ME1 is available on the PSN store for £12 if you are interested ;-). I would say that it was worth playing but then im biased so you prob don't want to listen to me.
So anyway, yay weekend!! Im actually ill at the moment, just a cold but even just a cold can make you feel like death for a day or two, yesterday was horrible and i didn't sleep much last night as coughing all the time. Ugh really not about that. Hope you've managed to escape the flu run, seems like its properly going around at the mo, i know a few peeps that have come down with it. Hopefully by next weekend it will be gone completely though.
So your defo coming for birthday drinks yes? :-) How come you not drinking? A pub crawl does seem like the best option for two back-end of twenty-somethings to celebrate their birthday although charlie has expressed a wish to dance so she may be looking to expand over to stokes croft as the night progresses. Zara isn't coming unfortunately (i've already had words although her excuse is understandable) so i will be getting a taxi back to Thorners, but thankfully my lads will be there so it won't cost a massive amount. Which is good as i have no money at the moment....
Yes my temp job ended just after christmas, which i was pleased about as i didn't like it there at all, might even go as far to say the job sucked worse than DHL which is a fucking lot.
Anyway (thankfully) they are unable to hire at the moment -for cost reasons etc- so yes i've been looking for other work. Actually i had an interview on Thursday but get this... On my way to it my bike got a puncture (not a pleasent experience on a scooter i can tell you) and so i couldn't make it as i didn't even get out of thornbury, tried to reschedule it and all that but they were like 'sorry we can't rearrange as we interviewed someone in the morning and are going with that person' so basically if i had gone it would have been a big fat waste of time anyway :-O WTF! Sometimes i feel i should just laugh at these situations i find myself in otherwise i will just cry. So yeah anyway i was sat on the side of road for two hours trying to figure out how i was gonna get my bike home. In the end mark came out to help me push it back but for now my skoot is out of action, another expense that i can not afford right now :-/.
So yeah story of my shit life haha, soz that sounds depressing doesn't it but im dramatic so....
But anyway onto a more uplifting topic, so you guys nearly finished with Angel then? I have to say i felt a little bit sorry for Fred, if she's become that blue haired thing (does she have blue hair? Or am i making that up) then Fred is technically dead, which is a big shame for wesley more than anything as he had finally just managed to win her heart. Haha dunno what happened to Wes maybe he just reverted back to his old self once angel had forgiven him. But yeah I'm inclined to agree that he was better as the rugged, tortured kind than the librarian turtleneck wearing kind. Although i don't think theres a woman alive that would pick the latter over the former ha.
Also i do think your right about buffy and angel they will always love each other (in a big way) and it is a shame that they couldn't ever be together, but then another big obstacle would be the fact that Buffy will eventually grow old whilst angel will live indefinitely (and thank fuck it never went the twilight way to solve that problem) so yeah it is sad but they can never be :(.
You'll have to let me know how you get on with the comics, if they're worth reading or not. Will u be reading them online?
Anyway mate, have a good weekend playing mass effect :-D i will do too, hopefully your workload eases up soon, not about being inundated, definitely not.
Loves xxx
Ps also keep up the fangirl rants, i believe as long as we continue to do them then we know we are not to old. Its when they stop that we should feel worried :-/.
Anyway forget that shit. So happy new year my friend :). Glad to hear you had a good night. Scottish dancing hmmm? Did pete wear a kilt? Lol.
My night was good too, just went to mark's, a few friends from school were there so that was nice and it was a very chilled out evening of chatting, drinking, smoking you know the biz... Very low key. Exactly how i like it ;).
So yes as for my birthday i haven't spoken to charlie yet, but might be seeing her tomorrow to conjure up some sort of plan and when we intend to do it. I would be happy for a kind of pub gathering -like your birthday- but i guess if charles is looking to do something more on the larger side, we may have to comprimise. I'll discuss it withher tomorrow and let you know.
So your nearly finished with Angel then? :) yeah the whole angel CEO of wolfram & hart thing was abit cheap in my opinion, maybe its part of the reason the show got cancelled or maybe it just couldn't survive without buffy but it was still ok for a season, like there are some very humorous parts for example the whole angel/spike rivalry thing haha, prehaps if spike had been brought into the series earlier, there could have been a very large 'Spangel' fanbase haha, maybe there is, i've never actually researched ;).
Haha have you watched the puppet episode yet? If not then expect absolute randomness, seriously it was the oddest episode ever.
Yeah cordelia dying was extremley sad, especially as it was very sudden and the way it was done where angel recieves a phone call from the hospital and you see his face just drop, aww poor angel, something else for him to moarn over. Im glad actually that they didn't just leave cordy in a coma though, it would have been abit wtf happened to to her specilating kind of way but not in a good way, in my opinion. I also actually quite liked the cordy x angel romance i think it was built more on a deep friendship rather than the undying true love like him and buffy. So i would have liked to have seen it become something but i guess it was never meant to be between them, which was sad. Also buffy moved on with other guys after angel because they could never be together either. Poor angel he doesn't have the best luck with women.
So whats this about zoro dying in your xcom game? :-O i thought i told you to take care of him! :( Ace as well *crying face*
What the game like then? Worth playing?
Ahhh i swear ME has literally taken over my life these last few weeks, i am obsessed!! When i finished ME3 just after christmas i started playing it again from ME1 and am just finishing 3 again for the 2nd time haha and now that im nearing the end im actually considering playing it AGAIN, seriously wtf is wrong me? I can't seem to get enough of it and just want to play it all the time. Im actually spending some time playing the multiplayer as it boosts you 'galatic readiness' -which is something you'll know when you play it- and is the easiest way to get a particular ending i want. Im not a fan of online gaming at all, too many douches, but this one is the kind where you fight in a team with people against computer enemies so its not as bad.
Anyway yes defo all about you getting on ME3 soonish, so that we can discuss it, who knows when you start playing it i might be on my 3rd playthrough anyway haha, at this point that wouldn't be suprising.
Anyway matey i won't bore you any further with more fangirl spew. Hope your well and i will let you know about Bday plans.
Xxxx
Anyway i'll shut up now lol.
Hope your having a nice christmas, loves xxxx
I think there might be some dlc out now which i prob won't bother with now as im getting rid of the game but i wonder whether you have to play the game again in order to do it, or you can just pick it up after the game ends.
Don't usually bother with dlc unless its free with the game (or its skyrim but obvs that doesn't exist for me anyway) although i did buy one for mass effect 3 haha i know i know wtf bex!! But seriously samka i have spent alot of money on this series as it is -two copies or 2& 3- but the way i see it is that i love it enough to justify it to myself lol ah well.
Anyways got ur messages about xmas eve, i will drive over to pricey's after work and see u guys there, its probably wishful thinking that i will finish early on that day although that would be awesome :).
Hope ur having a nice day, Friday yay!!
Will need to go to the mall tonight though eeek! Not looking forward to that at all but my own fault i suppose :-/.

The edward scissorhands music gets me everytime.
Also started ME3 last, OMG! It throws you in at the deep end straight away, im glad im playing it directly after playing the other games cause i would struggle. Also the Shepard character (and i don't mean just mine, i mean the character in general) just seems abit sad and tortured in this one, quite rightly so as well but yeah makes you more connected to the character. Wow though im so gonna be thinking about it all day.....
Appologies for this pointless little rant but i needed to tell someone. My brother wasn't interested when i tried talking to him this morning about it, mind you he was still asleep so that might have something to do with it lol.
Also was gonna ask you, did u finish dishonoured?
Xx
But anyway, yeah that does make sense what you say about rpg's, yeah i guess i do only really play action based ones, things like final fantasy interest me but i was never very good at 10 even though i really liked it. And what with 13 not having a good review i never bothered with it, although that not to say i'll never try it. Somehow i have it, either borrowed from you or toby so i may play it one day. Is there a new one due out soon?
So i've heard of XCOM its quite new isn't it? Sound interesting and thats quite hilarious that you and pete named them after The straw hats, you make sure Zoro survives now :-/.
Yeah im really pleased that i finished ME2 with everyone alive, and i've had some really good chats with them since, its like we're all alot closer now.
I did think the choice of men you had as a FemShep was not all that interesting compared to the cool women you could choose from as a ManShep but i went for Jacob in the end cause when i made Shep ask him if he was single he got all shy and when she said am i making you nervous? he was like, your trying too and i thought that was quite sweet so decided to make Shep keep him, haha it is quite funny i suppose and i did enjoy the interactions, not just with him but all the crew. Haha mordin the salarian cracks me up the most, not sure if you had him sing gilbert and sullivan to you but yeah that was hilarious. And i really like Legion the Geth he is actually really cute and i like the way he says 'Shepard-Commander' aww, haha also i took him on tali's loyalty quest which obviously didn't go down to well with the quarians, not sure if you remember the whole backstory between geth and quarians but basically taking legion on to their ship got me pretty much the same reaction Helo got when he took Athena/sharon on to the battlestar for the first time lol, it was actually quite amusing. Lol. Yeah i do love it. Even looked up a few ME cosplay pics online haha not that im gonna do it but if i did i would like to be Tali, cause she looks cool.
Anyway, can't really be arsed with doing work this afternoon, and the day is dragging by the way, knew it would :-/.
Hope ur have a nice one
Xx
