I can't believe it's like the second week of November already?! This year has flown by!
The other thing that has surprised me is that I've only just discovered 'Pennywise's self titled album. It's like 23 years old, I heard 'Bro Song' over the weekend! (I'm pretty sure I've heard it at hockey before but never thought it was pennywise...)
It's pretty much been on...

@8bit_jesus Bless!!! Are they on string?!
8bit_jesus:
Hey! I've not needed the idiot string for years :p
I'm quite excited for this weekend. Friday is hallowe'en! Hallowe'en is Friday! Finkle is Einhorn!
It's going to be a more toned down affair this year. Last year's Hallowe'en was spent in Manchester getting more than a little bit drunk.
We ended up in a place called Satan's Hollow and I didn't get home till about 5am...? It started off as "just a couple" and...

@8bit_jesus Nah, not this year. Was considering doing something but got too much work on. Will settle down on the couch with the missus and watch a scary movie though -- I'll let her choose which.
beard:
@8bit_jesus And The Babadook looks great. Can't wait to see that movie.
I FINALLY GET TO PLAY THIS!! ^___^
I studied media years ago, I know all about codes and conventions of films. I basically ruined my cinematic life forever. So I don't find any horror films scary, they're all predictable as hell. I like watching them but I never lose any sleep over them, they're never scary.
Video games though - nope, nope, nope. You get

I love autumn ^_^
It's weird considering it's a season of death and decay but Halloween! And rain! There's been so much sun this summer. I have a beard for a reason - to protect from the cold, that and I can't be assed shaving, I look twelve.
I'm getting into my post-hardcore shit musically, if anyone has any suggestions for bands, let me know...

@wednesdayarcane Mushroomhead are one of those bands I want to get into, like Coheed + Cambria, but I can't for some reason. That said, I heard 'Now we die' last week and was like, "this is awesome!"
wednesdayarcane:
Querty is what got me into them
How does everyone decide on the tattoo they're going to get? Would you get them to represent a moment, like bookmarks in your life? Just because it's cool? Any other reason?
I got one last year, it was slightly impulsive but it also marked a moment in life. And I quite like that idea, that whatever I'll get is representative of who I am now.

haha it's a comment all the same :p they're all appreciated. How come you haven't had any anyway? @trills
trills:
@8bit_jesus No overwhelming reason, just no overwhelming urge or fixed idea to go with :)
I'm feeling antsy. I get bored quite easily and I need to have my mind blown on a regular basis to hold on to any semblance of sanity. Usually music does it, I love finding one of those records that just absolutely kills you, every single time you listen to it. When I was younger I had my writing to fall into, however, a lack...

The local cuisine really is lacking, I hate that we have to travel so far for some decent food! I think our travels are delayed until the T man is old enough to either be left on his own or old enough to appreciate the culture/ scenery and not get bored! It's frustrating, but I do also enjoy sun seeking holidays too, they help me relax :)
8bit_jesus:
@arly I envy you, I can have a short attention span, so It doesn't take much for me to get antsy and bored haha
My Japanese is coming along. I'm starting to ask questions, or form basic sentences. It blows my mind on a regular basis that I can look at something like 「東京をあいしてる」(I love Tokyo) and I'm able to read it. My greatest tool is currently - 'book' 日本語でなんですか "what is 'book' in Japanese?" Fuck yeh!
I'm quite proud of myself ^_^
I managed to buy myself a...

@trills I'm trying to find out what my penpal actually does! She won't tell me, which makes me want to know more! :(
8bit_jesus:
@trills it's all about immersion :p that'll be my epitaph :)
Why can't I stop listening to this?!

@arly I've figured they're like the alternate version of Baby Metal, people generally are like "wtf?! hey, this is cool!" about both of them ha
arly:
Haha! Agree there @8bit_jesus, and it just so happens I like both! They're the marmite of alternative music!
How good are Dashboard Confessional?! I can't sing at all but the MTV Unplugged album just unleashes my inner emo "SO KISS ME HARD! 'CAUSE THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME THAT I LET YOUUU!" haha fuck, love this band!
I'm in need of doing something amazing. Well, just something different. I need a new tattoo for a start. I only have a tiny tat...
