Work?

Hmm, work... yes, I am familiar with the concept. What of it?
Oh, you lecturer people actually want me to do some?
How would one go about that then?

It is becoming apparent that I do actually need to do work so survive at uni. This is more than slightly irritating, mainly because I have never had to do so before. I'm sure many people are very good at it, and do it every day, with no effort at all, but I'm not. But it is not just doing work that they expect, they also want me to be awake for ridiculously early lectures every day (Ignoring that fact that I have had to be at school earlier than that for the past 10 years of my life).
I suppose some of this is my fault, I may have been able to juggle my lecture/tutorial/workshop times so that I dont have anything until 10 or 11 each day, but that would have involved the dreaded *whispers* work.

In other news, wheelchair is still going awesome, and I am planning to tempt MissE there, possibly with candy. She has managed to get me into Ultimate, so I will convert her to the ways of the wheel..

Well I suppose I should be going and finishing my Maths assignment...
Nah, Dragon Age 2 sounds much better. ;)

- Skywalker out!

Going down..

Heya all (which I will admit, is probably about, oh... 2 people)

I am now all growed up and living away from home in a shiny (well not-so-shiny now) student apartment block in ADELAIDE (!). This is awesome. My uni is about 10 mins walk away, so I can get to my classes fairly easily. Although looking at my timetable, I don't really want to get to all my classes. I suppose the ridiculous timetable is my fault though, if I hadn't chosen to do a Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Systems) it wouldn't be so bad.
Of course, I did get free food during O-Week at the Elec Eng Preliminary thing, so I suppose it isn't all bad.

I have also found a place to play Wheelchair bball down here, and played my first game last Tues. I got blisters and we won; I'm hoping those two are related so that there is a good reason for my hands being wrecked. I also played ultimate, which, I found out, exercises many of the same muscle groups, with the added bonus of using all the muscles in your legs. I am now wishing I had done more exercise during the holidays.

Anyway, I am now getting a bit hungry, so I might go across to AUSSIE PIZZA HOUSE, which is literally right next door, and get some dinner.

s'later,
Skywalker out!

PS. Oh, btw MissE, you are getting really bad at this posting thing.

Yay, Awesomely Epic Duo

1. I got broadband, after months of campaigning, etc, etc. I have final got broadband.
Well, almost. Telstra still has to send the modem and stuff.

2. I scored 26 points by myself at wheelchair. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much; I'm here all week.

Yeah, that's all, I'm a bit tired to say more about my awesomeness.

Skywalker out!

I am Epic Wheelchair king.

So.. As you may or may not know, I play wheelchair basketball (despite the lack of missing limbs) and am one of the better shooters. So wheelchair started 2 weeks ago and I went back feeling awesome, knowing that I was just ultimate.... and didn't even score (though, in my defense we were using new chairs). Anyway, the week after that I was on a school retreat (so I didn't play).

And then we have last week's game....

I went out, praying that my l33t skillz had returned...

And scored 16 points.... until, with 5 seconds to go, I'm sitting just outside the 3-point line.

And someone passes me the ball...

And I'm like: "Why not"

And I shoot.

And end up with 19 points.

Yes, I know, I am just so awesome. Thank you, Thank you, I'm here all week.

Well at lest I'm not as bad as MissE

Hey,
I'm back, after a (I will admit) ridiculously long wait between posts. I have seemed to have a lot to do, Just started year 12 (final year of high school (secondary school) for all those strange foreigners who may be reading =P), just started basketball (both able-bodies and disabled), created and website and am now administrating it and I went on a school retreat to Lake Bennett last week (And yes, I do realise that that will mean almost nothing to most people.).

So anyway.. yeah, that's about my life at the moment, school, bball and blogging. Nice lol.

Oh, and CoD: Modern Warfare 2. I won't start on this, because if I do, there is a good chance I will rave for hours, not only on my own awesomeness but also on how much I am addicted to that game.

So that's me,
Skywalker out!

Holidays!

At last.. the holidays have come! It's time for sleep, food, games, sleep, more food, late nights, games... and yeah, more sleep! But, alas, it was not to be...

On mon and tues I worked, today I did assignments (and wrote my book, thanks to my awesome editor, the one with the English Lit Degree, yeah, you... dont get a swelled head.) I still have assignments to do for English, Physics, Specialist and Chem.. yeah, my hols aren't gonna be a huge amount of fun ='(.

On the upside.. my foot is pretty much better (see the post below) and I can play bball again! Woo! Got wheelchair tomorrow, should win.. but you never can tell =).

Anyway.. gtg now, try to post again soon!

Well, Last night I had League Reserve bball, but no.. this is not a post about basketball. I got there just as we were about to forfeit (With not enough players) so they are like "Awesome!", and so we start the game....

A few minutes in I jumped to get the ball and came down wrong and hurt my foot... and something popped... Which, in case you hadn't guessed, isn't supposed to happen.

So I went off the court and realised that my toe was not where it was supposed to be...

Yep, that's right folks, I managed to dislocate my toe with no help from anything except gravity and the floor. You have to admit, I am pretty spectacular.

So we tried to put it back in, and that didn't work (though did manage to cause a rather large amount of pain.) So I was taken to the hospital and they took an x-ray and told me to wait and they would be with me shortly.

...
....
.....
Still waiting
......
.......
........
.........

And then.. finally three hours later some doctor calls out my name, so I go in. And the we discover that he has lost my x-rays and obs. *typical* So a couple on mins later he finds the x-ray and say "wow, that a fair bit out of the socket."

I was given a bit of local.. waited a min^ then he tugged my toe... and it didn't move. What it did however do was hurt, through the anaesthetic. Well he gave it a few more tugs.. still not moving.. then he took his glove off and tried again. Then he grabbed a peice of cloth and held my toe with that... and finally, with a suprisingly loud pop my toe went back to where it should have been.

He got another x-ray to make sure it was in teh right spot then told me to go home.

Well for 4 hours in the hospital all that happened was my toe was moved about 1cm in the right direction and I was subjected to aprox 0.15r of radiation.

Ah well.. there are worse ways to waste time.. just because I can't think of them right now...

^There seems to have been a lot of waiting going on.

What to talk about?

Well, I don't really have a specific topic here, I though that I might just give my loyal fans (ie. you) an update..

My book is coming well, got just over 50 pages, got the plot going well. If you want a preview go here: http://www.the-shadow-wraiths.webs.com/

BBall: we are still losing, shouldn't be in div. 1. Ah well.. we might don't have a chance tonight..
Wheelchair is still going strong, haven't lost a game when I have played

Games and stuff: well, I am addicted to a few new ones:
http://www.funorb.com/ Steel sentinels and
Armies of Gielinor

Skool: Meh. Pretty much sums it up =P

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Hey all, I'm back again with a really short post:

If you want a sneak preview of the book I'm writing (The Shadow-Wraiths) go to www.the-shadow-wraiths.webs.com, there is a forum so you can say hi and leave comments and, of course, the first part of my book. This is just so you can see some of my writing and maybe give some constructive criticism.

Last night we had out first bball game in Div 1! It was fun even though we lost 40-29. I scored 5 or 6 so I'm happy. next game: Razzle (we might have a chance against them.)

I'm Special..

Or at least, a Specialist. Well we are into semester two now and we got the chance to change around out subjects. They decide to offer Specialist maths for those who wanted it (For year 11s its a semester, not a year long, course.). Specialist maths is an extension on ordinary maths for those who want to become engineers. It is, I imagine, very difficult. To take it I had to drop IT, but that's okay as I wasn't learning anything anyway.

On other news: We had our first Basketball game last Monday and we brushed Ansett aside 36 - 20. And they were the good Ansett. Ah well, lets just hope we can keep it up. we also have a new player.... whose name I can't remember.. oops, ah well, I will correct that when I remember it.
Edit: Daniel

Aren't we lucky?

Well as it turns out our English teachers at school have decided that they want us to write a short thing about Odyssey. What it was like etc.. Now it occured to me that I have already done this, (if you look 2 posts down) so I don't really need to do anything except shorten it and add pictures. YAY!

And in other news:

Basketball is going back this Monday, first game is 8:30, this means I can't do U. Frisbee =`(, ah well.

Im doing Maths Specialist at school this semester. It's for those people who are really smart and want to become engineers.

I bought the Age of Empires gold edition. It comes with AoE 1, 2 and their expantion packs.
*LOVE THEM*

Not much else to tell,
Skywalker Out!

Am I not the bestest shoe shopper in the world?

As you may have guessed from the title I recently not-so-recently went shoe shopping; not just for any shoe though, these had to look good, feel great and make me jump high!

That right ladies and gentlemen, BASKETBALL SHOES!!!

and heeerrrrreeeee they are!



I like them.. They have served me well in the past season, bringing us from 5th to first in 4 weeks. Woo!

Well...

Well I am back at school (had a whole 2 days so far) And yet I live, a miracle I'm sure. none of my teachers are new except my homeroom teacher (Ms Chapman, MissE you know her). I am also back at basketball. My coach tried to kill me today, my left arm protests when I have to press a button right of the R. Very annoying.

Our first game is on friday, but my coach also want me to play 18's and, occasionally, League reserve if not League itself. But I will survive I'm sure.

MechQuest and Runescape are updating lots perhaps you should go there and see for yourself.

Skywalker out!

Stuff, Stuff and more Stuff

Well MechQuest is out if you don't want to go to the side bar Click Here! My character ID is 29834 if you decide you wanna try to kill me. MissE you have to create an account first.

In other news, we still haven't lost a Bball game, but we are playing the team 2nd on the ladder on Friday so we might have a hard time there.

Schools out! I get a WHOLE week, Yippee... no, really. I intend to spend 50% of it either on the Computer: writing stupid post like this one, playing MechQuest or similar; or on the Xbox or PS2. The other 50% will be devoted to eating and sleeping which I seem to have been doing a lot of lately.

Oh.... I almost forgot... Halo 3 id OUT!!....... Unfortunately I don't have an Xbox 360 so there is no point me buying it as I can't play it.... *sob* *sob*

Well thats all really If i think of anything else I will post again. If you have any requests send them to darthkraken@hotmail.com

Skywalker out!

Negelct and Camp!

AGAIN I'm soooo sorry I have been neglecting you, this will (hopefully) be a reasonably long post to make up for it.

Firstly: Camp, We went to Lake Bennett for school camp, about 60 of us were there, 20 guys and 40 girls (yes, we made the most of this) and 3 teachers. There was a number of thing to do on camp. (OK not that much really).

There was Archery (which i excelled at), Rock climbing (at which I didn't excel but did OK at), canoing (at which, with a good partner or a kayak paddle, am am also pretty good). And last of all there was some stupid 'Olympic' thing (OK, not that bad, it included a ginger beer sculling contest)

There were some minor dramas: Steven, Jarred and some other guy got kicked off camp after the first night. They had brought a 3/4 full Listerine bottle of Schnapps and got, well... best not to describe it in full detail.

Idiots.

They got them selves caught and they should have done it on the last day when it doesn't matter if they get kicked out because they are leaving anyway.

Overall I would rate this camp 6 out of 10. Not bad, but Yr 7 camp still is way out in front!

OK, on news slightly closer to home. Bball we have won every game and are getting 2 new players from some other team (now we have 10 players) ) -`: We have also won all of our games for more info go to the DBA website (U 16's div 2: Warriors)

In wheel chair we are doing well, but not perfectly, we have lost a few games, last game we won by 2 points, close game that was, and I got a blister.

OK : this is a list of thing i want:
1: Broadband Unlimited
2: Guild Wars
3: A new graphics card to play Guild Wars (as well as the broadband)
4: Halo 3 and an Xbox 360 to play it on.
5: A million dollars while I'm at it.....
Well thats all folks!

Skywalker out!

NT Rep!!

Oh yes, that's me selected for the NT team for wheelchair.

We played a game against Kuwait (better than they sound) and I was the 2nd highest scorer on the NT team (the highest goes to the same skool as me)

The end score was 64 - 8 how good is that!!!!!

We lost by less than 70 points!!! YAY

I scored 2 (and I'm one of the 2 youngest people in the team)

I am just too good.

Skywalker out! (before I get a swelled head)

Wheelichair

Why didn't anyone warm me to wear gloves while playing wheelchair basketball?!?!

My hands got metal burn..... (does that exist?)... any way..
My hands are sore...

Skywalker out
