…Okay, so here I am in Wales. On my new PC, vista and all that Jazz. Got a pretty neat set up, had to buy some speakers, but for £9.99, I’m not too bitter
Now, ATM I’m listening to Blink 182, as that is what I was copying, and it seems that SouthanUK General, at this time, has 182 posts. LOL. [This'll be 189. Kinda ruins the magic XD]
Now, I’m here in Wales, and have found that I HAVE HIOMEWORK xD Nah, my uni has sent me some shit about a “PRD” [personal reflective diary ...I can only assume the faggotry of this name is cause I'm taking an art fag course which is probably mainly female] and it means I have to write what “inspires me” each day. Hmm. Could be interesting. It’s going well. I’ve done a “title page”, but need to catch up for teh week otr so of august that has passed me by xD. It’s only A5 big though, so it’s okay
AS WELL AS THAT I have to do a load of drawings in an A4 sketchbook, of me, the world etc.
It should be fun though. Trying not to look at it as work. I like to draw. Should be good
Hmm… I’ll let you know how it goes …
AS PER OTHER NEWS… Nah, actually that’s about it. Had to go into town twice today to sort out shit, and I find that [the second time I went] I needed a hundred pounds deposit to start a flex account. Fail.
Oh well. My space should be up now-ish. southanuk.co.uk/chij.

This is Chij and here I am, on SouthanUK. I am a “Contributor” and will attempt to do so as much as possible.
Er… what to say, what to say.
Well… For any who don’t know me, …theres not much to tell really, unless you’re really interested, in which case, read on. If you’re not interested, WHY ARE YOU HERE? XD
I have [hopefully] completed A levels, and am going to do a foundation study in Art and Design at Glamorgan in Wales. Yes, Wales. I know. Far away. Blah.
I draw. This is, essentially, ALL I DO. That’s why there is a “[hopefully]” in the previous …paragraph? It was kinda short to be dubbed a paragraph, but the grammatical constraints deem it so.
Now. More stuff? I also play guitar, work out when I can, dress weirdly. I dont know. Nothing really out of the ordinary for the quintessential art student 18 years of age.
Blah. You’re still reading?
WHAT IS IMHO? Okay, let me explain. When you [in predictive text speak] type “going”, you press 4-6-4-6-4. Now, when typing 4-6-4-6, you come up with “imho”. Is it merely In My Honest Opinion? This I am told, but I do not like to agree with.
So yeah.
Chij out.
Shit Happens.
Bored Now.

Well, more like summer-time RAGE.
Why are jobs hard to come by?
All the good ones are gone by the time you get there.
Ah well. To stem this summer boredom, I’ve taken to watching some neeeeeeeeeeew anime.
Hidamari Sketch/ Hidamari Sketch x365
Hidamari Sketch centers around a young girl named Yuno who finally is able to get accepted into Yamabuki Art High School, which she has longed for. To attend the school, Yuno moves and starts to live in a small apartment building named the Hidamari Apartments (ひだまり荘, Hidamari-sō) located near the school. Once there, she starts making new friends like her classmate Miyako and the second year students, Hiro and Sae. There is no real plot line to the story but rather the events of the characters’ everyday lives are shown as they attend the school together and get to know each other better.
Pretty Cool Anime, About art, although the first series doesn’t have much art in it.
Strike Witches (a bit NSFW)
Set in a world similar to Earth in the mid twentieth century, Strike Witches tells the story of a fight to protect that world using a combination of magic and technology. The titular Strike Witches, a group of young women with high magical potential, have been gathered together from various nations in a task force to fight against the enigmatic Neuroi. This puzzling enemy force has appeared frequently and without warning in many areas across the world.
The opening song is very good, although some questions remain about the way they fly…. and why do they have fox (?) ears?
This should tide me over for a bit

Wow-we that was a long break in posting. This time it was due to the dreaded exams :O
Wahooo, 200 posts! took a while. I would like to take my time to say thanks to the internet for providing all the stories it does

Was on the computer today and saw that there was going to be an ISS pass over my house around 11:33pm.
Decided to brave the outdoors, set up my tripod and took some exposures of the ISS as it went over. It was Magnitude -1.9, which is brighter than the North Star.
So here are the photos I took

Just a quick post to tell you about the wonder that is Twitter.
Twitter basically allows you to submit a little 160 character bit of text about what you’re doing etc, in essence, a microblog.
The Twitter feed will keep you updated as to what I may be doing. Click the logo to view my full Twitter stream.

My God has it been warm this week, its like the south of France (not really lol).
Exam season looms over the dark and murky horizons. I think we get tested too much like they said on the news. Scrap the SATs, I say.
Anywho, Looking forward to Dr Who this weekend, Agatha Christie and the Killer Bees :O
Enjoy the “Summer” that we are having, I hope we get another bout like this later in the year.
