	OCTOBER 2004 01/10/2004 - Friday Weather: Cloudy Pinch Punch, First of the Month and No Returns! Iâ€™ve just been upto the shops with mum today. Thatâ€™s all! But Iâ€™ve come up with some Ideas for this Website and for another one Iâ€™m hoping to get started in the New Year. So Micro Tokyo shall be Leaving but shall be replaced by a new article which shall hopefully answer a frequently ansked question in a lot more depth. Oh yeah, I got a Demo Disk from Sega for Outrun 2 for the Xbox today. The Graphics have changed but the Aim of the Game hasnâ€™t changed a bit! And even the old Music is back but in more modern form! Itâ€™s quite good actually! Simon 02/10/2004 - Saturday Weather: Cloudy Well my mum had her friend round today, and it wasnâ€™t quite as demanding as last time. I also went out tonight and met another of Danâ€™s friends. He was very quiet however I was warned in advance, and I was kinda worried that he felt like the 3rd wheel. But I felt that he was welcome and I hope I get to know him better, he seems like a nice guy. Just shy but I can relate to that. it seems my social surge has ended now, but I have made friends from it. I also find that when Iâ€™m drunk, I talk about Project Ronin as if Iâ€™m trying to prove to people that I ainâ€™t as useless as I appear to be. But who am I convincing? Me? Them? Why do I feel the need to prove myself? Simon 03/10/2004 - Sunday Weather: Rain Geez, things donâ€™t ever go that easy do they? Iâ€™ve hit a few snags in Project Ronin, and Dan thinks the solution is to work in IT, but that begins in Chapter 2 & ends in Chapter 3. The problem? How am I going to get a car? Iâ€™ve found a few solutions, but I shall work on them after my mum comes back from respite. I have also hit another snag, I should now be able to receive TopUp TV as a box I have is now compatible, but I wasnâ€™t made aware of any software updates for my box and Iâ€™ve missed it now!! Work on my new web site is going well though. I think all these problems date back to when we moved out. Finances and the like are seriously fucked up! And my satellite cable has had it and my freeview box missed an update and I cut my finger quite badly... Simon 04/10/2004 - Monday Weather: Sunny Its been a rather cold day. Iâ€™m kinda bored too. Mum has gone into Respite, Dan ainâ€™t around, Jeff ainâ€™t around and am just listening to Japan-A-Radio. I cant help but feel that people only like my site for the Dark Zone which I find kinda sad really... As Project Ronin is the actual main thing going for me. But there ya go I guess, people love tragedy! HAHA!! Bit sad really aint it? Simon 05/10/2004 - Tuesday Weather: Sunny/Rain Well I have pretty much done nothing today, except working towards ditching Sky and moving over to TopUp TV instead by sorting the TV Aerial. Not done much else today really. I watched Moonlighting earlier on abc1, I know it sounds sad but I love the theme tune! Iâ€™ve generally been feeling like Iâ€™m just waiting. Iâ€™m not sure what sort of friendships Iâ€™ve developed either. Anyway, Iâ€™ve been isolated and this seems to be the only place where I get heard. Maybe Project Ronin will change things, but I wonâ€™t make friends from it and if I ever want it, find Love through it. Thatâ€™s not the aim of Project Ronin. Simon 06/10/2004 - Wednesday Weather: Suny/Rain Why did I even bother waking up today? Itâ€™s not like Iâ€™ve got anything to look forward to or even do. The weather has been weird, torrential downpours followed by cold sunshine. Soon I wonâ€™t be paying much attention to this website, only my Journal & Project Ronin will get updates. I also want to make up a team for my new website, so if your interested, hope on over and take a look at the Site News page for more info. Simon 07/10/2004 - Thursday Weather: Sunny Yeah... same really. Gary has begun chatting again after his digital narcolepsia, so I take heâ€™s been busy. My new website hasnâ€™t developed much, but I do have a fair bit of time before it goes live. But not much has been going on today. Dan has gone to Switzerland, hope he has a nice time. Simon 08/10/2004 - Friday Weather: Sunny Technically itâ€™s Saturday actually, I had too much too eat and now I can really sleep even though my fingers are kinda numb. I somehow managed to bruise my little finger and itâ€™s rather annoyong now. I didnâ€™t do much today. How about you reader? Did you? I miss Tomo & Hiroshi. They are like my 2 Japanese friends who I lost touch with and were kinda part of my happy life. We obviously liked the same things as out there my interests are normal. But I ainâ€™t the only one whoâ€™s into Jpop culture surely? I really like Japan, I seem to be deluded with the Idea that itâ€™s like Paradise. Simon 09/10/2004 - Saturday Weather: Sunny Spot the odd one out. Everyday Iâ€™ve been at home this week, but today, I met up with Nick and I went out to Broadmead! Iâ€™d also like to say thank you to all the people who has bought me lots of Chocolate but your making me fat now! As for today, not been a bad day. Nick was trying really hard to boost my confidence and he thinks that I have a lot of Potential for the Future, He thinks that Iâ€™m handsome, and that I should stop â€œhiding my faceâ€ and that I should â€œuse my looksâ€. I wonder how Dan is doing in Switzerland... Simon 10/10/2004 - Sunday Weather: Sunny but Windy The last day of having the house to myself for what could be the rest of this year! So, what did I do with my last day? Not a lot! I just tidied up a bit and watched good old Moonlighting. Been chatting online and thinking about Politics. So... things have changed in a good way now that Iâ€™m finding friends and the like. Simon 11/10/2004 - Monday Weather: Sunny/Cloudy A year ago today, my little journal thingy (and website) was abandoned but remained online. Itâ€™s gonna keep going for now I think as V2.5 is in the works, and so is Digital Sushi but this site is due to move... Anyway, mumâ€™s back and didnâ€™t even say hello! Strange lady, I havenâ€™t done much today, not really. Simon 12/10/2004 - Tuesday Weather: Rain I had plans for today... what happened to them? I was gonna ask for my MAC Key from Demon and sort out my dadâ€™s policy on something but never got round to it. Instead, I ended up reformatting my systems hard drive and took my mum shopping and pushed her back (must have been at least twice my weight) in the rain, wasnâ€™t easy! I also have been thinking about an onling community for us gay guys that I used to be a member of, a better name for it would be the worlds biggest headache, as I kinda resent that site now, because of the bitching. Anyway, Bai Bai for now! Simon 13/10/2004 - Wednesday Weather: Rain/Sun We have a meeting tomorrow that I knew nothing about. Also I maybe seeing Nick once again, but I havenâ€™t heard from him yet. Anyway, I guess Iâ€™ll see him soon. As for Dan, still in Switzerland I guess and as for Jeff... not seen sight or hair of him in ages. So Iâ€™m going to see a film with my mum on Friday and sheâ€™s having her little friend around on Saturday again. So Iâ€™ve been having flashbacks again... maybe I should keep a log? I contacted my ISP about Migration which Iâ€™ve been meaning to do for a while. Simon 16/10/2004 - Saturday Weather: Cloudy Sorry about the lack of entries, Iâ€™ve been busy with V2.5 of this site plus I was too drunk to remember to write an entry on Thursday. My mum is cooking one of her Beef Stews and her friend is here again. Today also would have been my dadâ€™s Birthday. He would have been 64. I never really knew my dad well so I canâ€™t really say what he was like... enigmatic, 2 faces and set in his ways might be a good description. He was either nice or he was murderous... Thing have changed since he died and they changed rapidly... the amount of people involved in his death was something that makes ya wonder whatâ€™s going on! Anyway, V2.5 is almost complete I would say, so you will see it on New Years Day 2005. So I better get working on Cyber Sushi hadnâ€™t I? Simon 17/10/2004 - Sunday Weather: Cloudy Havenâ€™t done much today, Iâ€™m kinda sedated and homecare are moaning at me again. Sometimes I wish women didnâ€™t exist, then again, sometimes I wish I didnâ€™t exist either. Anyway, Iâ€™m a male and lacking of organisation is normal! Simon 18/10/2004 - Monday Weather: Sunny Iâ€™m quite tired so will get an early night plus me and my mum are going out tomorrow to see Inside Iâ€™m Dancing (for real this time). Woke up this morning and I started to think I turned into the invisible man, so it was just as well my mum went to the doctors really. I thought I was invisible because nobody seemed to notice me this morning. Anyway, today wasnâ€™t too bad, but Iâ€™ve been tired all day. Got some technical info off of NDO regarding migration, and finally got the software upgrade I needed for my DTT box so I can also start thinking about ditching Sky. Anyway, think thatâ€™s enough for today! Simon 19/10/2004 - Tuesday Weather: Rain/Sunny Tired again. The film was quite good, if not a bit of a weepy. Umm... Went to TGI Fridayâ€™s for no real reason and went on the long march back home. On the way upto to the station I got absoloutely soaked... and I had only just washed and dried my hair 20 minutes previously. Too sleepy for this. Simon 20/10/2004 - Wednesday Weather: Cloudy & Damp Well today I met up with someone whose name I shall not disclose on here! Anyway, I had a nice afternoon. Shame the weather has turned bad. Iâ€™m kinda tired AGAIN! And as I donâ€™t have much else to write here, Iâ€™m off! Simon 21/10/2004 - Thursday Weather: Sunny Itâ€™s been rather windy last night, now itâ€™s dying down. I noticed the autumn leaves on the trees still and felt a little whimsical for a while. Reminders that christmas is around the corneris everywhere and I donâ€™t like it. Christmas is meant to be a special time of year, but these past few years Iâ€™ve never really enjoyed anything. Bad things always happen. Why wonâ€™t things just calm down? Iâ€™m exhausted by it all! Today is probably my last day with Demon Internet as my ISP. Itâ€™s been a good 18 months with them, not many problems but Iâ€™m not getting much from them, other ISPâ€™s offer more and charge you less, whcih is why Iâ€™m moving on... cya on NDO! Simon & his blueberry Muffin 22/10/2004 - Friday Weather: Cloudy/Blustery Well, my bank has robbed me. Iâ€™m not happy with NatWest at the moment... and there may come a time when I switch banks again and they lose me as a customer because itâ€™s not offering what I need. I quite like HSBC. But for now, until I need to move bank, Iâ€™ll stay with NatWest. Anyway, Iâ€™ve been sorting out a few things generally today, and itâ€™s all to do with Project Ronin which people donâ€™t seem to be taking seriously... That makes kinda offends me and makes me not want to accept there help if ever they offered it because that offence is making me lose respect for them, the name is just that - a name. The contents are quite serious and real. My website is also closed today, but is obviously at itâ€™s new home if your reading this! Anyway, did you know Ayumi Hamasaki is Ambidextrous? Simon 23/10/2004 - Saturday Weather: Rain Iâ€™ve been quite tired lately and Dan wanted to meet up but I just donâ€™t feel upto it but I would go out to places with Gary simply cos heâ€™s fantastic and I really am looking forward to meeting him sometime. My website is ready to go back online so I shall do that. I got caught in the rain too, which wasnâ€™t nice. Iâ€™ve been in a bad mood cos I seen someone from my past whom I really despise and makes me feel like throwing up. All in all a rather dull n boring day. Simon 24/10/2004 - Sunday Weather: Sunny/Rain Umm, not done a terrible amount of things today, developing an addiction to Fanta Fruit Twist (the red one) which isnâ€™t too good really. So full of calories! Useless Calories but tastes soooo nice! I tried to make lemon chicken earlier and although not too bad, wasnâ€™t my best dish either... anyway, ta ta Mâ€™darlings Simon 25/10/2004 - Monday Weather: Sunny Just another manic monday really, still fatally addicted to Fanta Fruit Twist, and reading stories about people using some kinda teeth bleaching thing with the story twisting to a 6 year old girl being chased by a teenager who just had his wisdom teeth extracted and saliva n blood streaming outta his mouth. Wasnâ€™t me! My wisdom teeth are fine! (Well, ok, maybe one is so decayed itâ€™s practically gone). Iâ€™ve also been reading up about Japanese TV which looks fantastic and also found out that the Japanese Media is fixating itself more on Namie Amuro now that Ayumi Hamasakiâ€™s interest is wading, which is interesting cos Namie is Ayuâ€™s predecessor, so it lookâ€™s like sheâ€™s back in action! Oh and there was that earthquake too wasnâ€™t there? Simon 26/10/2004 - Tuesday Weather: Sunny Well, Iâ€™m not really sure where Iâ€™m going. I got slagged off for not doing enough for my mum, but I do help out, clean the place and I cook every night. I kinda want to resign because this doesenâ€™t feel like home, just a place where I live and because It seems I can never be good enough. And how do complete strangers know my name? Itâ€™s all just gotta stop! On a lighter note, Gary shares his Birthday with a Japanese celebrity, whom is also approaching 22! Anyway, just for a bit of fun, I decided to do my own version of â€œGot Rice?â€ on J! Ent, when a journalist asks Japanese celebs questions about Rice, so heres my â€œInterviewâ€! Q1: What kind of rice cooker do you use? A1: I just boil it, Iâ€™ve never heard of a rice cooker! Q2: How many days of the week do you eat rice? A2: Maybe about Twice a week. Q3: Which method do you use to measure the rice (the finger, palm, thumb, knuckle, cup, rice cooker mark or some superhuman ability)? A3: I just usually buy â€œBoil in the Bagâ€ rice, otherwise I use the cup method. Q4: What do you like to eat with your rice? A4: Chicken Korma, Sweet n Sour Chicken & Beef & Mushrooms. Q5: What brand of rice do you eat? A5: Tilda. No rice on earth tastes as good as that brand... apparently! Simon 27/10/2004 - Wednesday Weather: Cloudy/Windy Looks like Autumn has arrived. With all this wind, theres been a lot of foliage. Havenâ€™t done that much today, been less freaky than yesterday but Iâ€™m still finding it hard to work out which day of the week it is! My mumâ€™s friend is coming round again on Staurday, so that will be tiring! I guess I can just relax tomorrow though. Simon 28/10/2004 - Thursday Weather: Sunny/Cloudy Again, not a terrible lot has been going on today. Other than that last night was kinda bad as I was having stomach cramps again, and think it may have something to do with alcohol sugars. I have also got a pair of new shoes! Oooh! So Nick is coming round tonight with booze, and I shall sorta be supplying the food but I canâ€™t be arsed to cook so think a trip to the chinese might be an Idea. Friday and Saturday could be a little more interesting. Simon 29/10/2004 - Friday Weather: Sunny/Cloudy I have a hangover from last night and itâ€™s been with me all day. Last night with Nick was good though he feels as though he shouldnâ€™t have driven home last night. We were chatting and we watched Kill Bill & French & Saunders. Today I took my mum to the dentist and I really was not with it at all! And I made a crappy dinner which wasnâ€™t very nice and I havenâ€™t been sleeping well these past couple of nights. My mumâ€™s friend comes round tomorrow and probably more torture for me. Simon 30/10/2004 - Saturday Weather: Cloudy Tonight is my first big night out with 8 people including myself! I am going to the Pineapple then hopefully the Queens Shilling where I will meet Dan and his gang and Iâ€™m going with Nick and his wife n Daughter. So another hangover for me probably! My mumâ€™s friend has been spending the day here and hasnâ€™t been as bad or maybe Iâ€™m just getting used to it? Iâ€™ve also bleached my hair and I am now Blonde. Pic soon! Simon 31/10/2004 - Halloween Weather: Cloudy Boo! Happy Halloween everyone! Last night was... something! I didnâ€™t manage to pull so obviously I ainâ€™t that attractive am I? But pulling ainâ€™t everything and I did have a good time. I met Trisha and sheâ€™s excellent! Nichola seems like a nice girl too and if I wasnâ€™t gay, Iâ€™d go out with her hehe. I also met Dan down there and his posse and then me and trish went off to Party at Vibes which is where I lost there wedding ring. Result? Not a hangover, but a really bad stomach. I also seem to be blonde... donâ€™t remember how that happened! So how was October for you? For me it was kinda uneventful for a little while but it picked up as you can see. Next month please! Simon
