Laura, alias Laurapher, Loz, Lozapher, Neku, Reno, venuscrest and God knows how many more. At the age of eighteen, commonly known as old enough to know better, young enough to not give a damn. Depending on how well you know me, you can call me whatever.

I'm a video gamer, a nerd, a freak, and I don't like you. Don't take it to heart - I hate most people. I play my music loud to drown out the stupidity of humanity. It works most of the time. My close friends and family are more important than air to me. It's overused but it's true.

I don't smoke and I'm not really one for alcohol, but I do have my addictions vices.
Give me Cherry Coke and I'll love you forever a long long time. Coke, Coke Zero or Dr Pepper are alright substitutes, but Cherry Coke is top of the list.
I inherited a love of a decent cup of tea (Tetley's if you've got it) from my mother's side of the family, as 90% of the women are massive tea drinkers.
I eat ice cream cornets and/or wafers on their own, which is probably really bad for me, but if I have one I have to have three more.
Hobnobs should not be left within a 50 metre radius of me. Plain or coated in chocolate, they're like heaven in biscuit form, and I can easily go through half a packet in one sitting.

I'm not the prettiest, the skinniest or the most wonderful person ever, but I'm happy in my own skin. I don't need your acceptance, or your clarifications to live my life. I'll be the first person to put my hands up and admit I'm not perfect. I've done wrong, I've messed up, but I'm only human and I've only got one life to live, so I'm going to live it how I like.

This journal is probably going to be mostly public, with the more private entries friends only. Comment on this entry to be considered. Obviously friends from previous journals have a higher chance, but no one is fail proof, and you'll never know how far you can fly unless you spread your wings and jump, right?

10 things you wish you could say to ten different people right now:

• We really need to meet up again. Ever since you started dating him we've started growing apart. I'm not blaming him, but you need to realise that the world doesn't revolve around him.
• I hope the next non-handheld Kingdom Hearts ships to both the PS3 and the 360. Why? Just because it will make you shut the fuck up about your beloved PS3 you fucking fanboy.
• Ahahaha Saturday is going to be so much fun. I just need to find my camera now so we can take loads of pictures.
• I'm going to miss being taught by you. I want to thank you for taking me from nothing to where I am now. Life happens and I understand. If my next teacher is as good as you I'll be on the road in no time.
• I'm sorry for making you worry girly~.
• I hope to god I never run into you again. I don't use this term very often, but I think you're a total cunt. And your girlfriends friends? Let's not go there.
• That one time I pwned you when we were doing about insulin and diabetics in class? Still one of the greatest moments of my high school life.
• I miss you, even if you were a pest ♥.
• I hope you find happiness wherever life takes you.
• Hopefully life will stop sucker-punching you in the face soon.

09 things about yourself:
• I was knocked down by a car on my sister's 23rd birthday. I was 8 years old, and suffered a sprained ankle and a slightly bruised tailbone.
• I dislike the person I've become, but I hate the person I was before.
• I've known my best friend since we were 4 and in the (almost) 14 years since then we've never had a single argument. We're also almost exact opposites in appearance.
• I'm extremely shy, both on and offline.
• Despite having items like cross necklaces and a tarot deck I'm not spiritual or religious.
• I get my height and my colouring (hair skin eyes etc) from my father's side of the family, but my hips, boobs and bum from my mothers side.
• I have quite a strong Huddersfield accent, and I'm always missing the beginning and ends off words.
• I find it difficult to talk about myself.
• I was brought up to believe thay being gay is not a bad thing. My mother's male best friend is gay and I've known that since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Off the top of my head I can name at least 5 people I went to school with who are gay/bisexual. 2 of them were my close friends and I'm going to gay pride this year with one of them.

01 confession:
• Um, my confession would be this:
When my friend told me she'd had a crush on me for a long time, that she'd 'grown out of', I never told her that I already knew. I couldn't tell her that I had clicked on a link to her LJ - that I wasn't supposed to know about - that she'd sent me by accident, which is how I knew. I never really got the courage to tell her that I knew and it always makes me feel bad.

I said I'd do this didn't I? Turns out boredom while on the computer at 1.30 am makes me do stuff. Amazing really. I also need to stop listening to "Macy's Day Parade" on repeat. It's getting a little obsessive.

I've only got two three fandoms up at the moment, simply because I'm lazy and can only be bothered listing these two three right now. If you want me to list others just drop me a line. I'll probably do it since I'm so fickle.

You know the drill - comment with a character from a fandom and then you can be the X to my Y simple really. If you want to comment with more than one character, please feel free to - I don't mind :3

Final Fantasy
eevee is the Sephiroth to my Tifa.


Kingdom Hearts

The World Ends With You
eevee is the Josh to my Neku

Get commenting peoples.

My computer is nnot plugged in and I'm on my dads, so sorry if there are any mistakes in this. Keeping it short as I'm going to bed after I'm done.

I might be going to Manchester Gsy Pride Festival with one of my best friends this year. She's been wanting to go for a couple years, but she's never found anyone to go with. Even though I'm not gay I'll be going with her for a bit of a laugh (becuase with us two it will be) and to support my sister's boyfriend who's been asked to play bass in a band that are playing at the Gay Pride Festival. I'll probably come back amused and disturbed.

Talking of my sister, me and my dad are going to her house tomorrow to pick up my nieces who will be staying until Sunday. Woo no peace for me, but I do have the Charity Shop on Saturday morning to look forward to.

I'm falling asleep as I type here, so I'm going to end this now and go to bed... after I find my driving lesson book for tomorrow D:

Tomorrow I shall probably update you about TWEWY more ;) and about the meeting I had with a careers advisor today and what was discussed and decided. That entry will probably be F-Locked though. Why? I dunno - probably because it's more about my personal details and my non-internet/video gameing life than most of my entries.

Maybe sometime later this week I'll do an 'X to my Y' post that I've been meaning to do since before I even moved here from dangerred. We'll see how that works out won't we?

Comment with a fandom and I'll tell you my:

One True Pairing Ship:

Canon Ship:

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:

"You are one sick bastard" Ship:

"I dabble a little" Ship:

"It's like a car crash" Ship:

"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:

"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:

"When all is said and done" Ship:

I didn't get that job. Am I surprised? Shocked? Saddened? Nope. Not being replied to by most jobs makes you thick skinned. I've got a meeting with a careers adviser who I met before I left school on Wednesday. From what she said on the phone, we'll probably discuss things like job hunting and perhaps training - which apparently I can get paid for (who knew? Not me!). We'll see how that goes.

<random>Okay scribbld. Why the fuck have you killed babylon and himemiya? They were on my friends page, and after I accidentally refreshed... they're gone! WTF mates? I can't even access their journals to check if it's my computer. How rare. </random>

If you can't tell by the current music, and the title and subtitles, I'm on a bit of a Green Day kick at the moment. Specifically the 'Warning' album. It's late enough to not sound like teenage angst music, and early enough not to be a giant political statement. Just lively kickass music.

I found out the other day why I keep getting my ass kicked by the 'Ultimte Enemy' in TWEWY.
<SPOILER>Hover here to see who it is<</SPOILER>.
My characters base attack (without the accessories etc.) was between 1 and 7. Base defense was between 1 and 3. So I'm replaying and making my characters up their attack and defense. Neku is currently highest with ATK/DEF of 29/12. Shiki has 22/7, Josh has 21/7 and Beat has 23/7. When everyone's ATK is 29 I'll up their defense to that level too - and when that's all equal I'll try and level them up equally. With the remaining 6 bytes you get per 24hours real time I'm slowly upping the max HP using the coffee and the house blend from WildKat. I've actually got to level 100/100, and my base drop rate is about 6 or 7, so I'm not doing too badly on my pins. I'm using all the battling I have to do to eat the food to level up, evolve and master my pins, just becuase I can.

So, long time no update hmm? I've just not been... inspired enough to post I guess, but the lack of posting means a pretty long entry...

woo.

So, recently I got a shiny FFVII PSP (wow, abbreviations much?) with Crisis Core, and that's been taking up a lot of my video gaming time. I have finished it, but I never finished all the missions etc. So I've started again on New Game+.

I'll hold my hand up and admit I cried a little at the ending though. Everyone who's played FFVII knows how it's going to end - I mean, Cloud is the main character in the game, not Zack - but it was still heartbreaking. Cloud's broken scream at the end was the worst part for me. I feel like I might get shot down if I say this in any FF communties since I know how fangirls can be, but I prefer Steve Burton over Takahiro Sakurai when it comes to Cloud's voice. I dunno why, so don't ask me. Just one of my quirks.

While we're on the subject of video games - I'm replaying The World Ends With You. I'm trying to master a few more pins and level up enough to get Dark Matters, which I need to get a load of items. It's fun but hard. If I need a break from the 'Fail and face erasure' undertones, I'll go play Another Day. It's random and funny and REALLY HARD in some bits.

( Random Babble about TWEWY )

Other than my video games, I've been catching up with some of my other fandoms. My friend lent me seasons 1 and 2 of Supernatural so I've been sporadically watching that when I feel like it. It seems that Supernatural is something I have to be in the mood to watch. It's had its ups and downs in my opinion, but overall it's been pretty good.

Another fandom that I need to be in the right mood to catch up with is Twilight. I'm not one of those 'OMFGZ BEST BOOKS EVAR' people, and I'm not going to react badly if you don't like it. For me it's one of those fandoms that I can get absorbed into while it's happening, and then walk away pretty much unscathed. For example, with the whole Bella/Edward vs Bella/Jacob thing; I couldn't care less about who she wants to 'love'. In fact, I couldn't care less about 99% of the chracters. If I'm totally honest my two favourite chracters in the whole thing are Alice and Bella's mother Renée.

In other, less interesting news, I have a new haircut. It's slightly shorter, a little more layered and I now have a fringe. I'll try and get some decent photos taken to show you all when I have batteries in my camera.

On Friday I have an interview for a job. It's at a solicitor's near where I live so fingers crossed for that. Me and my friend were discussing what we'd do once we got our first months pay when we were working (she left her job a couple of months back for some reason) so if she gets the job she was inerviewed for today, I have to get the job I'm going for. It's all in the name of fun really.

Also in random stuff that you probably don't need to know, I had a wardrobe door fall on my ankle today. I was helping my dad build a wardobe up for my parents bedroom when it slipped from my grasp and fell onto my ankle. It's a little bruised, quite badly grazed, and it sometimes hurts to walk on but other than that, it's fine. What's funny is that it's my right ankle, and not my left one, which is normally the target for random accidents.

This entry has taken me about three days to complete. I've been writing it in notepad when I've had a chance, so bits have been added and taken away with every revision I've done. I'm sort of worried about myself, but hey at least you got a quite long entry? There'll probably be another one on Friday or Saturday if I can make myself update. We'll see. Heh.

Edit: What is wrong with me today? I've had to fix: the entry coding, the title, the LJ cut and the tags. I'm losing the plot I swear.
