OK.
I think its been a few weeks or something. I've been lazy and away.
I also have a cold which is making this a bit hard to write but I'll press on.
SO. My "rules of texting". These are a simple bunch of rules I follow in order to make texting fast and efficient. I used to dwell on what I would write for long periods of time, typing out several potential drafts in order to prevent my self from sounding like an idiot.
1.Commit to what you've typed
Once I've written a text, I send it. No going back on what I've put. This way I'm honest (the best policy!) and saves a lot of thinking time, however it also means I could put something stupid or offensive. That's where No.2 comes in.
2.Add a smiley if you are being friendly
Now, really this is a bit stupid. However, I just feel my messages are a little more welcoming if I throw in a :) or :3. For example:
"You're going to pay for that."
"You're going to pay for that ;)"
I think meanings and intentions are hard enough to convey through talking on the internet or through SMS anyway, so a little emoticon I think just shows that I don't mean any harm. Many a time I've regret putting something without a smiley in order to show that what I put was light-hearted.
3. 1 Word answer=Back off
If someone sends me a 1 word answer (K, Ok, thanks) that means the conversation is over. Either leave it there if its an SMS or wrap it up if its an IM. I wouldn't want to harass anyone and make them hate me because I'm some highly dependent clingy koala type creature. Also saves me money on texting.
Right I know it's been a shorrt one but my head is all fuzzy, so really you should double or even triple what I've written here in order to see how much effort I've put in.

Big Rambling Rant
Right, so I was on the wrong side of YouTube today. Well, the wrong side is the side I'm always on, so in reality I mean I was on the right side of YouTube but my wrong side is your right side.
Anyway, I got onto the vloggers...ugh.
Video after video of the same template 15-17 year old kids with plates in their ears and excruciatingly hilarious facial piercings. They claimed to be "totally original" and informed the "haters" (I.E. anyone with an IQ upwards of 5) to get lost, 'cause they're just jealous. Yeah kid. I sure am jealous of your ability to pass a small child through your ear lobe. Moving on.
Then we got the compliment fishers. I'm talking about the girls who appear in videos usually named "I'm ugly" or "Why am I so ugly?". They claim to be imperfect and that no one ever tells them they're attractive, so it must be true right? After watching the videos you will realise it is their stale personalities and charismatic similarities to a damp rag that is keeping the fellers away.
You glance over to the comments and you see 2 sorts. Firstly you have the other compliment fishing girls telling them something along the lines of "OMG! You're not ugly you're gorgeous! I'm ugly...:(" only without so much grammar. OP (Original poster) responds with the same comment but backfired towards the commenter. Rinse/Repeat.
The other person you will come across in the comments of such videos are lonely hormonal boys trying to build their E-peen. They tell the girls that they are stunning, and compliment their eyes/lips/tits (depending on loneliness, age and hormone levels of course). OP will shoot back a denial and that she hates her eyes/lips/tits or a cutting remark attacking the commenter's self-esteem and turning the commenter into the OP of another shitty self esteem fishing video.
"Ugly" and "Attractive" don't really have definitions as such. Different people will find different people attractive. It should also be noted "Ugly" is not the direct opposite of attractive, that is you do not have to be one or the other. Just because a person doesn't find blonde hair attractive for example does not mean he will ridicule people with blonde hair for being "ugly". You'll also find that people find people similar to them attractive in a bid to defend their own self esteem. For example...chubby girls (treading on thin ice here...) will berate size "Zero" and claim "real men want curves not skin and bone" (might I add that real men can speak for themselves and aren't all drawn in by the first girl to get her tits out) whereas an anorexic girl may fail to see the problem with being unhealthily skinny. Anyway, moving on.
Last, and definitely least are the ""video" "makers"". And I'm not talking about epic 'tubers like myself. These shitheads churn a song through audacity and double the speed, call that hump of gonorrhoea a remix, record them self dancing like some kind of schizophrenic during an episode while lipping the song. Apply some shitty effects and then we've got a video to ship out to the masses.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. Today I am revealing the internet's best kept secret. If you spot a one of these unholy videos that ISN'T edited in WMM, I can guarantee these videos have been edited by a pro. I've been approached many times to edit one of these abominations. When you refuse, the kids start to panic and lay more money on the table. I'e turned down offers of $50 in the past, and I'll tell you why in the next paragraph.
My dear, dear friend TheJuga, may he rest in peace. He took on the offers of one of these kids. After the video was finished and paid for, it was edited further to remove watermarks and any proof Juga had even touched the video. When he tried to claim copyright and post on the videos comments. The OP asked her army of spasticated retards (I'm sorry but I really have no other way to describe them) to thumb down all of his comments and videos and to flag all of his content. After many death threats he left YouTube. Since then, I have resented this breed of tuber.
Well that's all for now. I'm all ranted out.

I suppose I have some explaining to do (>.<)
OK.
So that post yesterday.
Wow.
It wasn't me first of all. I would never...yeah.
Secondly I know who did it. It was done out of jest, based on an inside you-had-to-be-there type joke made earlier yesterday. I don't hold it against them, I just wish they hadn't made such an...exhibition of it.
I would of cleared stuff up last night but I was unmotivated; I was feeling a mix of shock, pissed-offness and a little scared I suppose.
One thing I found weird was that my twitter pass wasn't changed until after I had posted something on there "("@SEGA HEY,HEY HEY! GET READY TO MAKE SOME CRRRAZY MONEY, HERE. WE. GO!
YA YA YA YA! Im totally buying this" Yeah probably best not to ask)
If I'd gone to post it a few minutes earlier I would have caught the guy before I was even told.
The perp came clean this morning. I would've preferred last night but meh beggars can't be choosers...or something like that.
Apologies to anyone who was worried. If you were worried, I'm flattered. Flattered that someone was looking out for me, I mean :3
I think that's it for now. I have a quota to meet so I better wrap it up there.

British houses are useless
Ugh.
It's too hot.
I'm currently sat in my room trying to keep cool, and I'll probably remain here for the majority of the day.
My room is sporting a black and grey theme with blackout curtains and a wide opening fire-escape window, making it easily the coolest room in the house.
British houses aren't built for this weather. Although when you think about it...they aren't built for cold weather either.
In cold places, like Alaska, houses have triple glazed windows and are built with logs and other 'warm' materials. This level of insulation keeps heat from getting in or out.
In hot countries, like Spain, small houses are built with dry matter to keep the heat out. They have high letterbox windows in order to allow a constant through draft.
Our houses however...aren't built for anything. We have insulation which is O.K. at best and large windows to allow lots of (hot) sunlight in. In summer I wake up sweating and in winter I wake up shivering.
That said, I'd rather be cold than hot. Being too hot makes me uncomfortable.
If this continues I'll have to go get my Dreamcast and hook it up to the porta-TV in my room. But hopefully it won't come to that because I don't want to delve into the spaghetti junction that is my 'spare cables' box.

Confused with my opinion on sport
I don't get it.
Normally I detest sport. It takes up precious prime-time TV airtime and is boring.
However, this week I watched the Lions beat the Wallabies, saw Murray win at Wimbledon and watched the German GP.
What's happened to me? I still despise football obviously, but this is highly OOC. I'm a particularly...lazy person. The effort i put into being uninvolved in sport is incredible. Yet, here I am still amazed by the rally between Murray and Janowicz.
On Friday when I walked in on the men's semi-final I asked Mam "How does anyone find this...exhilarating?"
Well don't I look like the idiot now.
Also, on a side note I found one of my pseudo-scripts kicking about in my room this morning for a video I edited the other day. Tried to copy it up the best I could so you could undersand what I mean by 'writing a script'

Trolling: What the media think I'm doing VS What I'm actually doing
I was just surfin' the tubes, when this wild advert appeared:
It made me kind of laugh. All the internet stuff was there. But some things about this video were...inaccurate.
First of all, a dead parrot does not equate to rule 34. If you you want to know what rule 34 of the internet is...I'll let you find out for yourself.(NSFW)
Anyway, that's beside the point. The point is that this advert and most TV shows try to tell you that Trolling=Cyberbullying. It does not.
Trolling is a reward for stupidity. For example, a young girl on youtube acts in a provocative manner. A username "pedobear" comments "This is my favourite youtuber, please come visit me!". This is trolling.
Imagine a girl gets an offensive message from someone else because she is 16 Stone and 13.99 pounds. This is cyberbullying. She commits suicide, the media hear about it and 4chan becomes a terrorist organization in the eyes of millions.
Serious trolls try to distance themselves from these, what we would call, "mainstream trolls" who are basically 12 year old girls who send abusive messages like "lol kill urself" or "ur ugly" to unsuspecting twitter accounts. Maybe they saw a funny rage comic, maybe they just want a scapegoat to make people feel bad. The point is, in a battle of wits with a real life troll they would last under a minute. I dread to think what would happened to them if they stepped foot in /b/.
Clear-up:
>Is not a cyberbully
>Sorry to any innocents who looked up R34
>I don't look up R34
>I forgot I had a blog, OK
