Happy 2014!
2 min read
Yeah it's been a very long time, but hey, I did do some good things in 2013, here's a small list...
The Princes Trust, a second time
Asking a girl on a date (got turned down, but hey it happens)
Going to BUCK and meeting Michelle Creber
Going to America
- Seeing my Brother get married
- Seeing the sights of Iowa
- Spending my Birthday at an American Train Station
Seeing the Hobbit twice, the second time with mates
Discovering Game Grumps
Cutting down on the fizzy pop.
Hope 2014 will be better, I know exactly the main thing I want to do, and that's write that novel I've always wanted to do. Been talking about it with people, and I will be working on it dead-on midnight.
Anyway, it's been a long time since I did this, so let's continue with it.

I skipped many Journal weeks, including Christmas, and Bill Farmer did the 12 Days of Christmas in his voices, so he deserves this spot. Check this video out and see if you recognize his voices.

Going to America
1 min read
Gonna be short (again) but wanted to make one just in case so here it is. For the next two weeks I am going to America to see my Brother so you won't be hearing from me in a while, until then, another VAotW and that's it, I'll be sure to share the details when I get back

Pat Fraley

Mainly known for his comedic performance in the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon as Krang, and I'm sure you will find many other roles he has been in, another note-worthy example of a great voice actor

Last Weeks Story at BUCK

---Voice Actor of the Week---
Michelle Creber
www.behindthevoiceactors.com/M…
Now there is a great reason why I decided to feature her this week, because this happened last week (hence no Journal), and it was at BUCK in Manchester. Now the reason I even have this feature on my DA page is because I have a great respect for Voice Actors and what they do so when I heard that Michelle was going to be there, and since VAs don't come here very often I decided to go. The line there on Saturday was long but I was happy to get to talk to a few people, crack a few jokes, telling stories and overall just sharing an interest in My Little Pony. The Opening Ceremony was long, and it was there that Michelle got to say a few words, but when it was over I decided to go to the dealer tables for a little while before getting to see her.
By the time I got there, the line was long, but at first I didn't care so much, but then one of the staff pointed at me and basically said that he was cutting people off, because by the time they get this line finished it would be over and if I waited then I would not get in. So, disappointed I just walked out with my head down and decided to go home early, but on that train ride home I looked at my con wrist band (the thing that gets you in and out) and realized that that band was for the full weekend, so even though I had to pay for another train ticket I decided to go again, this time more prepared, because that was a shock for me and it made me realize that that sort of thing could happen in the future.
So I went, managed to use up my time wisely, so whilst I continued to have fun at that convention anyway, I was still stalking that area where there was going to be a que-up just to be sure, I even had a slight heart-attack when I noticed the que but thankfully it was for something else. So, at around 1:30, that's when I took that spot, I sat down exactly where the line was going to start, and though I would be waiting a good while I was making sure I got there first. Funny enough I wasn't supposed to do that, but the guy who was about to ask me to leave happened to have been that same guy who cut me off yesterday who was like "You know what? Fine, go ahead".
So the time came around where, it wasn't time yet but it was time for the que to build up, and like a boss I just happened to be there front of the line, so then I had to wait another 30 minutes before they gave the go-ahead. As "Nervous-cited" as I was it was entirely worth it.
I only know her as (of course) Applebloom from My Little Pony, and at first I just mentioned I was trying to see her yesterday but couldn't, but the fact that I came first in line did move her, I also mentioned just how much I respect voice actors in general. Then I asked her kindly if she could record something for my Brother which she was happy to do, then we took this...

And then, I decided to buy one of her albums (which I'll get into in a minute), shook her hand and went off, saying farewell and that it was worth it and I left.
I left that autograph room so happy, not just because she was awesome but also that gratifying feeling I got, because I waited that long and made up for my losses yesterday just to be able to be given the chance to express my gratitude towards a voice actor, I (no joke) was clicking my heels in glee with a massive smile on my face on my way out, because then I was faced with a minor problem. The autographed picture I got from her had no means of protection so I spent a good time going into town to find something to keep it protected, eventually finding a post office to get an envelope with a cardboard back, which I shall reuse for the same purpose in the future.
Overall, I had a fantastic time at that con, got to stay around for the Q&A panel, and then went home.
Now, there is something about myself I have to address, I do listen to music but I prefer J-pop and several video game and Anime music, but I have all of that in digital form, I RARELY buy albums because often at most times I do not like the idea of buying a CD with only 1 song I like. In fact I can probably name all of my albums on one hand, I got 1 album by Weird Al Yankovic who I am a fan of but cannot seem to find any in stores, an Aqua CD largely because of 1 song, "Cartoon Heroes", 2 Audio books with Michael Angelis narrating the original Railway Series books (Michael was the current Thomas Narrator at the time), and one of Vic Mignogna's albums which I got from him directly and got him to sign, which oddly enough again only contained 1 favorite but then listening to it I found I had more I liked.
Now I did know Michelle was a singer, and only really bought her album because I wanted to support her, and she was happy to sign it as well. Man oh man, she is AMAZING, that album I love to bits and is actually encouraging me to start buying more sometime, her and Vic's albums are a start to this trend and is giving birth to yet another collection, Albums sung by voice actors!
So that's my story of last week, and at the same time declares another VAotW, but as with all voice actors I am glad to have met them and totally deserve my gratitude.
Not long to go before I go to America for my Brother's Wedding, I'll be sure to leave a journal before I go.
Until then, take my advice, buy Albums from Voice Actors you will not be disappointed, and be sure to be there on time for ques, and be sure to take with you something to keep he autograph pictures in. Wow, that's alot of advice, but worth mentioning

Completed a Collection!
3 min read
Recently I sold stuff on ebay and managed to get over £100, for basically some figures that I knew I wouldn't continue collecting. Some of that money went to some YuGiOh cards that I have been wanting for a long time, nothing special just some commons and rares needed to fill some gaps, along with an Ultra rare "Armed Dragon Lv7" which somehow I couldn't find elsewhere.
But, after doing so, I managed to complete one of my YuGiOh folders, and now I have every single card from the following sets!
Soul of the Duelist
Rise of Destiny
Flaming Eternity
Lost Millennium
Cybernetic Revolution
Elemental Energy
Shadow of Infinity
Enemy of Justice
Power of the Duelist
Cyberdark Impact
Strike of Neos
Force of the Breaker
Well, not quite, you see Strike of Neos and Force of the Breaker started reintroducing secret rares in the worst way possible, back then I really hated the idea and it deprived us of a couple of very promising starter decks, that and the folder was getting cramped, plus I wanted my folder to be uniform because the original 60 fit so neatly, plus I wanted to base it on the original JAP lineup. So yeah, not exactly the entire collection, but I consider it complete, only counting cards between 1-60 and I am satisfied.
Another note, Ultra and Ultimate rares I consider to be the same card, so I only have what I got and don't focus on getting both versions
In fact, not only have I got complete sets, I also have a complete series, as I have all of series 4! (SOD to EOJ)
Funny enough, there are still a few cards I need from those sets to fill another collection, as I need the Ultimate rare variants of various Machine cards, as I only have the Ultra rare versions and don't feel like taking stuff out.
It is good day to be YuGiOh collector, and what joy it has brought to see a complete folder! ^w^
---Voice Actor of the Week---
Because I am overjoyed, let's mark down another one of my favorites, and if you don't know him how dare you.

Probably one of the best of our generation and has landed a great amount of roles, check him out, I'm sure there are at least 10 roles you know about, I mean who doesn't know Spongebob?

Wow is it hot!
1 min read
I have been outside 6 times this week for different things, and it's been nothing but really hot weather throughout, and even when I choose to stay indoors, the heat still gets to me. I sweat very easily and especially at night which bothers me alot, and I have been left exhausted and in need of a drink almost every half hour.
And yet, I still have to go out tomorrow!
I hate this hot weather so much, I'll be glad when it's over

Speaking of it being hot in toepika...

Number 75, three quarters of the way!!! 25 to go!
