"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of." - Roboute Guilliman
"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now." - Magnus the Red, to a statue of Leman Russ
Meh, it was my birthday last week. I'm exactly one day older than Prince William. I mean he's got more castles, helicopters and money than me, but I've got more hair so I win.
Also, just bought a house with Mrs. Albatross. It's awesome.

Of a man who thought he could have the power of the world at his finger tips and prove to a girl that she could have all of her desires fulfilled if she chose him. A man foolish enough to beleive that he could have powers rivaling that of any god. A man foolish enough to fall in love with a woman which didn't share his lust. A fool hardy man, beleiving himself to be capable of handling anything that came his way, and that he was untouchable.
This man....
This man is me.
I tried to show both Gods and Man that I could control the powers of the cosmos, crashed and burned from it. I write this not for entertainment, I write this so those poor souls thinking to copy my work will not make the same mistake I did. You can not control the powers of Gods, and everything you know of the spiritual realm is false.

I'm not sure whether this was my worst birthday ever, or my best. I got one present-Typhus-but it's who gave me it thats the surprising part.
The girl I've been to tell you the truth in love with for the past 2 years walks up to me at lunch when no-ones around, and pushes something into my hand. She said she heard me mention I needed him and so went into the store full of 'weirdos' to get him. She smiles at me then runs off. I look down and see a Thyphus blister pack in my hands-on the back are written the words "happy birthday", with a smiley face.
Hey. I haven't really posted much of considerable worth for a while. Lets say iv'e had a very difficult time. But im getting better.
Now, onto more interesting matters!
We have our next gig on friday It'll be at someones house party, so im guessing its gonna be a bit of a trash fest. Ahh well, 'cos of this we decided to a bit less roaring, and a bit more singing. Turns out GES advice really paid of in the end.
Here is the playlist. It's pretty long, as we're supposed to play for a good while.
Bodies - Drowning Pool. - Its heavy, but it's not screamo, plus its kinda upbeat.
My apocalypse - Arch Enemy - I really pushed for this one, as Mean green stompa enlightened me of their existence a week or so back, and iv'e fallen in love with them. We're not roughing the vocals though, we're going to sing them. Should be fun.
Dez Moines - Devil Wears Prada - Nice screamo, but there's places to sing, should be fun.
Bastard's waltz - Cancer Bats - Jobs a good 'un. I sing the entire thing.
Labyrinth - Enter Shikari - We don't have a synthe, so we gotta rely heavily on guitars to bring the noise, but from practises, it seems to be going well.
I wont see you tonight parts 1 and 2 - Avenged Sevenfold. - Will be awesome.
Paranoia - Dope - Lets be honest, people will be drugging it up, so i thought this would be a nice little dig at them.
So, it looks to be good fun. I jsut hope i dont strain my vocals like before.
@Little lord Fauntleroy - Oh, boo hoo. Seriously, you need to lay off the self-pity - it's not a great way to win friends and influence people.
When I was at school, even listening to alternative music could get you your head kicked in, never mind playing wargames. Yet you manage to get a girl to like you (and she obviously does, not that it matters. You're children.), and all you do is come on the internet and drip about how no-one else remembered it to us sad bastards? Listen, I'm gonna tell you something that I wish somebody had told me when I was your age. None of it matters. None of it. All the massive problems you feel like you have, the issues? Exams? Getting girls to like you? Making friends? Un. Important. You won't even remember their names in 10 years, believe me. They just feel like big problems when you're a young teenager.
You need to get a hold of yourself and be a man. You're BRITISH for feth's sake! Where's your stiff upper lip?

Alba, who was that directed at? Because if it was at me, then I think it's right to let you know I was beingb sarcastic in my last post (wow, it REALLY doesn't travel well across the intrewebz).
Edit: Oh I see it was directed at me. Fair enough, I do need to stop whining. Besides, everyone forgetting my birthday isn't anything out of the ordinary.

Other then that. I'm tired. And I wish I had more money.
You need to get that checked out. I/m not sure if it's bone marrow or what, but something can seep from inside the bone and poison you. Unless you didn't really break a toe, in which it's all good.

Now there's the Great Brittania I think of.
As Churchill once said:
"We will fight them on the beaches. We will fight them in the pubs. We will fight them in the massage parlours. We will fight them in the football stadiums. We will never give in. We wil never surrender, until Great Brittania has defeated....Ghana, in the World Cup, oh feth it get me another Scotch and make it a double..."

@ Albatross. I don't agree. Obviously, im not at a point where I can look back and say "None of that mattered" but I can sure as hell point out the obvious. At school, you learn, and not just subjects. You learn how to deal with social situations, how to talk to girls (it doesn't come natural to some people) you essentially 'grow up'. Soooooo, even though the subjects themselves pale before the doom and gloom that you are portraying, there are still valuable lessons to be learned.
And secondly, and less restrained, that was a completely rude dick like thing to say. What gives you the right to talk to LLF like that? You say you were giving advice, but you could have done it in a much more calm and restrained way. Without saying he 'dripped' would be a start.
