Let's blast through with sonic speed!

Not that you'll read this, cause I'm pretty sure you've long killed yourself by now. (RIP) but happy birthday.

Okay, first of all, that has to be the most depressing birthday wish I've ever had the misfortune to read.

Secondly, I am clearly not dead. I merely needed a break from all this drama going on and I don't have my files on me to post anyway.

Thirdly, a lot of you seemed to be worried I've gone and done something stupid. Yeah, that's not me. I'm okay, guys. I've been crashing over my mum's place scouting jobs, eating junk food and playing video games. I also set up a new blog awhile ago 'cause my favourite cartoon needed some support, but other than that, I haven't done much online.

Lastly, I forgot my password. Sue me.

Ehe, I don't have a tumblr, but I'm from deviantART and I've looked at your tumblr now and then. Sorry about taking up the ask section or sounding like a stalker. ^^; Just wanted to say I'm sorry things are going in such a way for you.;.; But I hope things start to turn around for the better for you and you feel better. Just hang in there and don't give up. I know it's an awful feeling to feel like everyone/everything is against you, but hold on. I sincerely hope things get better. Best wishes.

Ahh, thank you. ❤

I've been feeling a bit better recently, probably because I've been so done with everything and just put it all out of my mind by writing fiction all week. I was surprised I was even allowed to do that, but here I am. Thanks for stopping by, it means a lot. c:

If you don't hear from me ever again it's because I've been thrown out, I've been trying my hardest, but clearly it's not good enough for anyone. So far today my mum has yelled at me, pulled my hair, tried to throw me out and wished I was dead and it's not even 9 in the morning.

I just want to go home.

[thundrastryke]

I presented myself the best I possibly could at the interview today. I excelled at everything they asked of me, but no luck. I can't handle any more rejection. It doesn't matter now anyway as my dad's kicking me out. He just doesn't understand how hard it is for people my age to find work these days. I would say the UK is one of the worst places to be in this situation. They let so many people into the country that all the low paid jobs just vanish. It doesn't matter if you have a degree, A Levels, anything - if you don't have the experience there's no chance you're getting the job.

Doesn't one first need a job in order to attain the experience?

England's such a small country but it seems everyone wants to come here. Why? Why? It's cold, wet and dull. Everything is overpriced. I'm sorry, but it's nothing like you see on TV and the last time I had a cup of tea was never.

The only job I've been able to land was down to being in the right place at the right time but that didn't last long, they just needed someone to cover for a week.

I want to draw guys, but I can't afford the tools I need in this situation. I just need some sort of job to cover my butt that's close to home. I'll be crashing at my mum's place for a bit until I can persuade my dad to let me come home.

That's it for now, this flickering monitor is giving me a headache. I'm out. Hopefully I can get back on track soon.

[thundrastryke]

I'm in such a bad place right now, it's so late but I need somewhere to vent. I don't know what to do. Things weren't meant to go this way. I can't sleep. I can't focus. I can't think about anything else. I've been up for days and I'm shaking. On top of everything else I got going on. Why does the world hate me? I think I'm panicking and no one cares.

I'll just be here listening to depressing music probably. Curled up on the floor maybe. Crying definitely.

Love sucks. Don't know why I ever wanted it. Take it back. There's a hole in my heart and it won't stop stinging. I've been so scared of this happening but I've completely fallen to pieces.

The worst feeling in the world is a broken heart.

I'm not claiming my previous post about the Sonic movie was legit, but news of a movie has been floating around for some time now and I want to address it. If we did have a movie written by someone like Brad Bird or Phil Johnston and it did come off as darker, do you think it would work?

I know the series has been taking a lighter path than what we've seen in the past, but kids these days are a lot smarter than they are given credit for and they probably will enjoy it as much as older fans. Just make it animated. Please.

Columbia Pictures for a 'dark and edgy' Sonic Movie

According to Hollywood insider website The Tracking Board, a “dark [and] edgy” movie adaptation of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is on its way courtesy of Columbia Pictures. The film, which is aimed squarely at older audiences, will use a combination of live-action and animation. This news comes less than two months after the other major Sonic announcement at the beginning of February, revealing a huge push for Sega’s mascot.

...

With Original Film and SEGA financing the project, the search has begun for a writer to jump onboard. Among those shortlisted are Brad Bird (Wall-E, Toy Story 2, The Incredibles) and Phil Johnston (Wreck-It Ralph, Nebraska). It will be interesting to see how the project proceeds as time goes on, especially with a commitment to “darker” storytelling that seems to rock the boat among fans of any media.

I don't usually trust news sites with this kind of thing anymore, but this seems pretty big. I'd love to see this happen, especially if these writers are involved. What do you think?

Looking at decent laptops on Amazon. Man, are they expensive.

I put my PC through a lot so I figured it was about time to get one that can handle it. I've been very patient with my previous two which were already old and used when I got them, but I don't want to waste half an hour of my time while I wait for it to start responding any longer.

I've got mine docked to see if there's some way I can get it to charge, but it just creates horrendous static complete with noise and it blue screened twice.

To anyone I have pending conversations with, I'm sorry and I will get back to you ASAP. I don't quite fancy typing on my games consoles longer than I have to - I don't have keyboards for those.

I'm also sorry for all the text posts filled with me going on about personal issues. I know they're no fun to read, but I don't want to completely abandon you guys while I get things sorted out as it's taking far longer than I wanted.

I'm also sorry for being sorry all the time. Okay, I'll stop now. I've already lost contact with most of my offline friends due to distance and I don't want it to happen here too. I care too much.

Speaking of DA, I feel really bad about my page. I've got so much planned for it, but I'm lacking the tools to do anything about it. Sure, I can slip a quick post on Tumblr with a few clicks, but DA is a different story. I don't know if it's my internet connection or the laptop, but it's really rare I can get the site to load. I'll find out with my new PC either way.

I hope the peeps over there don't think badly of me - I'm sorta stuck.

[thundrastryke]

oo I just remembered I don't think I have your skype yet. It's been a while since I last sent you that message about adding you on skype sooner or later once my computer stopped being an ass and now my computer can run skype smoothly again and unless your computer is still a butt to you I guess now it's safe to ask for your skype?

I might not be online to accept any contacts for awhile, but it’s always safe to ask! My Skype’s Lightningc10. c:

All hail the sellotape for it has saved me from electrocution. I can't believe I'm holding my laptop together with sellotape. I don't think it would ever charge again without it. Why didn't I think of this sooner? This is genius.

Too bad I can't sellotape more RAM on this thing.

thundrastryke replied to your post:in the classic sonic games, Sonic had black/grey eyes and super sonic had green eyes. Now, Sonic has green eyes but Super Sonic has red eyes. How would you feel if a future Sonic redesign had him with red eyes in his regular form?

[thundrastryke]

Don't we all? x3

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It does seem quite possible though, don't you think? Even if the effects are temporary and they would revert back when he's been away from the Chaos Emerald for a while.

The Emeralds usually scatter once he's used them together, but what if Sonic collected all the Chaos Emeralds and didn't use them all at once? Their power would be constantly swirling around inside him and, yeah, after a while may change his eye colour.

Something to consider.

[thundrastryke]

Any idea when you're going to be able to be on Skype and stuff again?

When I buy a new laptop - this one is dying. It actually electrocuted me a few minutes ago! I was only trying to get it to charge, it’s really getting that bad. Anyway, I’m saving up some money for a decent one.

Lol, when I get online people’ll be like:

Imagine how scary Boom Knuckles would look gliding.

[thundrastryke]

Woah, jeez. Yeah, I'm aware Sonic Boom isn't the new canon, but the new fans that get into Sonic via Boom are going to assume he has blue arms. The redesigns are kinda unnecessary if the real franchise is running alongside it. I'm just trying to understand the thought process there. It's only going to cause arguments in the future.

Didn't the last show split the fanbase too? I was thinking the best route SEGA could take with expanding the Sonic brand was focus on the core material and make it the best it can be. I'm not unhappy that we have a new show, however it would have been much better if it fit in with main canon because the games are where the money is.

I've been around the internet enough to know how many people try to build the word themselves and the Sonic category in Games on FanFiction.Net is one of the biggest on the site. There's already proof people are interested and if they were given more of world play with the franchise would have a better reputation.

I don't pretend to know what I'm on about and there's obviously higher ups that have their own plans, but this is just something I've had on my mind for awhile.
