Tofu Hero Gaming

WORK

Well I’ve quit my part-time job at the Pizza shop because I just wasn’t very good at it and the manager handled it in totally the wrong way, instead of helping me out he stuck me working only 1 half shift a week when the other girls were getting up to 2 full ones. For the sake of 15 quid a week I’d rather be unemployed for a while so I can find a job with more hours

I’ve been on the job websites everyday, handing out CVs locally etc. Littlewoods near KFC looks promising as all the students go back to uni in 4-6 weeks!

My exams are over now – all of them went quite well and although I hardly think about results day, I’ve had a lot of dreams where I either get As or Ds which is frustrating when I wake up and believe it for a second Even though I cut things quite short, when I eventually get revising I really focus. Here’s me and Hero revising for our Psychology papers

I thought the synoptic was gonna be rock solid and panicked for a few days before but it went really well I went to Hero’s house after (as it’s closer to college and I’d have to wait 5 hours for my bus to arrive to take me home) and we relaxed all afternoon:

(Oh yeh he had his hair cut a while ago – I showed the best pic I had of the last time he had it done to the hairdresser but the bloke cut his hair REALLY short! He looked about 10 when he came out which I found funny And suddenly he gets asked for ID to buy cigarettes now lol)

HOME

I found my old mp3 player the other day – it switches on but is kind of bricked so it doesn’t really work. After plugging it into my computer and it saying it won’t let me do anything (like format it) because I don’t have permission I decided to rip the casing off. Plugged it in again and it works as a 512mb flash drive now I wanna make a case for it, any ideas?

I want a hole cut out for the screen cause it looks pretty when it’s plugged in:

I think a NES controller case would look cool but the ‘flash drive’ is only 9cm from tip of the USB connecter to end. So I’d need a mini NES controller and something that could cut plastic for the screen

Oh my conclusion with this thing is that buttons are evil and one of them must’ve been poking in the wrong place and taking the casing off removed the buttons and allowed the flash drive to breath

I’ve also got into sewing! I started off by hand stitching this out of an old t-shirt that doesn’t fit me anymore:

I painted the teeth on with acrylic. I thought it was quite good for a first attempt at sewing ever! I made this next:

This one was stitched inside out and is filled with proper plushie filler Finally I’ve started making these:

I’m gonna be going to a Steampunk party soon but I don’t wanna wear Victorian stuff and I joked about saying I should go as a Steampunk Misty and everyone thought that was a good idea. This is my outfit:

I’ve already got the socks, shorts, trainers, vest and goggles:

The colour scheme is black and grey and the only wristband glove thing I’ve got is purple and black so I made my own out of the rest of that old t-shirt. It took me all day because I don’t measure much, I just pin and cut and pin again to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m surprised I didn’t stab myself putting my hand in a glove with pins sticking out of it

I’m gonna cut cog shapes out of an old white t-shirt I’ve got and sew them on

Speaking of things hand made, I found a 40p notebook from Tesco and I had a cool idea to ink ‘Death Note’ on the front with my silver marker – here’s the result

It’s only a mini one measuring 10.5cm x 15.5cm and I went back to the Tesco and they don’t stock them anymore which is a shame cause I was gonna make one for all my mates with little messages in them like “Good luck at uni” etc

I’m going on holiday with Hero and my family from the 24th of July for a week – to Bulgaria (hot part!), can’t wait! I’ve never been on holiday with a boyfriend before so it should be great

I’m also 18 in 5 weeks!

Pros:

Will be finally old enough to buy alcohol and old enough again to buy cigarettes (they changed the law a month after I turned 16!). I have loads of different stuff planned – I wanna go snowboarding at X-Scape, have sleepover with James, Josh and Tommy, have a party at Tommys, have a party at Heros, go out round town with Danny & my skateboarding mates and go to the pub with my main mates It’s gonna take up a good week!

Cons:

I’ll never be able to listen to Dancing Queen by Abba, I Saw Her Standing There by The Beatles or Seventeen by Winger and pretend they’re about me ever again

I’ve given this site complete revamp – there’s new content, new appearance and new (more likeable) forums! Podcasts are also gonna resume again soon. If you have any news or reviews then send them to tofu-hero@live.co.uk as we find it difficult to produce tons of content between two people!

As for gaming I’m really into L4D atm – my Steam is tofulion91 if you want to add me I also picked up a copy of the Sims 3 which is good but I’m already bored of it! A good way of testing out the strengths and limitations in Sims games is to try and build an exact replica of your house – I’ve finished mine and screenshots will be up of tofu-hero.com soon

Oh and I was gutted to hear that MJ died, they’ll never be another like him

Thoughts go out to his family x

LOVE/SOCIAL
I went to Hero’s a couple of weeks ago and for the first time brough my computer – it took about 3 trips to the car to get everything in so it was a pain but it was fab having it with me – we played L4D over LAN…LAN party! Lol Well we were gonna have a mini one actually but Shaun couldn’t bring his PC round so we left it.

We also made smartie cookies which were delicious

MONTHLY BLOG STUFF

Has to be the painting I did last week – I haven’t painted in over a year so I thought I’d do some since I love it

It’s based off this photo I took on holiday this year:

I’m addicted to the Beatles at the moment and although I’ve got a lot of favourites, Hey Jude is the one I listen to most. It’s perfect I’m also accompanying my Beatles addiction with a spot of Abba (my old favourites alongside Queen). My favourite song atm is Chiquitita.

I’m going to see this band called Birthday Massacre with Amy and Pippa next month so I thought I’d look up some of their stuff – they’re ok actually, I expected to hate them. My favourite song is Blue.

How is everyone?

I’m totally smitten with Simon Baker from the Mentalist! I love that show, haven’t missed a single episode since it started I want to watch the Guardian but I don’t know when it’s on and the internet just shows the American times.

And finally, the word of the month is aubergine. Bye guys!
