Well, 2009 is coming this way and I am feeling a little emotional, since I had some ups and downs this year. I can't wait to see my old childhood friend to come over to my place when she is free. Also I began to get love with the Mother series (even though I haven't played all three of them), but I love the four characters, Ninten (of number 1), Ness (of number 2, and of Smash Bros series), Lucas and Claus (of number 3, and of Brawl if chose colour palettes of just Lucas).

I will need to be editing some better video of Lucas and Claus since I think the last one needs a bit of a make-over...I am really underrated in Youtube at the moment.

So Happy New Year and PK Love from me to you for 2009!!

I can hardly wait till I get my own Yoshi plush from online, so if I get a Luigi costume from a costume shop, then I can wear it for Halloween and call me "Mama Luigi" for the day!! Yea!!

If you want to know who Yoshi is, this piccie up here, I found online will tell you. He's a good character to play in from Mario Party series to the Super Smash Bros series. This piccie is set for Super Smash Bros Brawl, which looks like a really good game. I only got Melee, but that one is good as well. But in Brawl, you do get some cool Final Smashes, and you can get Snake from Metal Gear and Sonic!! Wow!!

Peace out!! ^^

This is not one of my songs, I've only found this on Youtube. This is a song from Metal Gear Solid (which I am not particularly a fan of, I apologize of those who are), but also it was used for Super Smash Bros Brawl. I think this was a very beautiful and tragic song with very good lyrics to go with it. Here are the lyrics for the song:

I will try and get some time posting up something up from my seventh book (but it will contain spoilers if you are wondering), which will include my own song that seems to relate a bit like this song. The singer who sings this is Natasha Farrow, which her voice makes it like Celine Dion, as this song does have a bit of 'My Heart Will Go On' like some Youtubers have said. I've only posted this on, because to show you the lyrics and may be you can have a listen to if you want. It is a beautiful song, so some of you I would recommend to.

Well, today's the big day. Soon I will be off on the c2c line to Fenchurch Street to reach Covent Garden to say so long and farewell to a fantastic and unique show on Theatre Royal, Drury Lane: the Lord of the Rings. It has been quite good on the audience here in England, for over around 492 performances, and sad to see a lot of the cast (James Loye, Owen Sharpe, Richard Henders, Jerome Pradon...) to leave too soon back from Saturday 21st June. But it was best for them I think.

First I will be Stage Dooring once the matinee has finished to meet a lot of the cast, and a lot of friends from the LOTRFans forums. Me gonna get a lot of photos, autographs, and maybe some hugs to my favourites. And then to see the last ever performance of the show...

After today, what would I do then?? It would be already derigged by then, to make way for French and Saunders for October and then to Olivier, which is too used for my liking, and what I mean by 'used' meaning that there has been a lot of productions before that. Well...LOTR will be performing in Germany and touring in Australia and New Zealand around next year and so on.

But...I will manage to keep a lot of the memories with some music video I am planning out with a good song to focus on the best of their performances...the best moments they have with each other...the best moments we all had with them.

Well...let's make this last day the best moments of all our lives then!

I finally left school on Friday for Study Leave (15 exams, oh the joy!), had a lot of tears from the last assembly, including myself. I have been hugging some tall young year 11 boys, who some of them were crying (Awwwww!!). I have to tip-toe, since they are so tall! It has been a little hard for me to leave for my exams, since I have been with many of them for 5 years, and even around 8, since some have attending primary school with me since I was nearly nine!

I have been to my third viewing of LOTR at Drury Lane, was a matinee. I finally watched James Loye again as Frodo, but sadly Petey was still on the mend, Ben Evans was Sam. He was all right, but not as good as Peter. I almost cried at the end, as I had my knees hunched upwards. After the show me, me sister and me mother went to the Stage Door. I had something for James Loye, which was a framed piccie of what I drew. We actually saw a lot of the actors! It's quite long to list but:

Stevie Tate Bauer
Malcolm Storry (Gandalf) about two times now
Ben Evans
I thought I did saw Kirk Zimmet (ensemble)
Alexandra Bonnet (she was u.s Arwen, she looks very lovely)
James Byng (Byngo we call him)
Steven Miller (I waved at him, he smiled at me and said "How are you?")

Michael Rouse I saw coming out. I waved at him, he smiled and said hello. He was so sweet to say that, and he did seem to want to come and talk to me, until my mother talked to him, since she loves Legolas. He was so helpful about James Loye, told us he is in there. We talked to the woman in the office, and she called for James and there he was! I've given him the piccie, and he really was touched by it. He asked me what has happened in the piccie, and I explained quite well. He really was so nice to talk to, and he really loves my piccie so much that he said he will put it in his dressing room :D.

My sister also showed him her drawing of him, Petey, Owen and Richard as the hobbits. He signed it on her drawing and he was very appreciated that it looked like them. I couldn't believe I was standing beside him as well. I asked him "Do you want a hug?" and he was like: "Go on then." We hugged quite firmly, but I felt very warm in his arms...very warm.

We left the Stage Door and I felt so happy that I felt like dancing! It was the first time I ever met James Loye. He was such a lovely man, with a very lovely Welsh accent. I could have told him that my sister and I was 25% Welsh.

I will not forget about that memory, even if I want to draw it out (since I haven't got any photos of me and him). It was the most best moment of yesterday!! The day I first met James Loye, and managed to have a cuddle with him! I feel so great!

I am so sorry about February with some delays of entries, I was ever so busy...with finishing my Media Pre-Production Coursework and doing some four-page anime British comic with front page for Production coursework. Man, I have to explain that I have to keep on finishing my Vegetarian coursework for Food before 20th March so I can get a good grade. Also there is about now...9-8 weeks of school until Study Leave.

How was Lord of the Rings at front row from Saturday 2nd Feb? I hear you say...I would say it was a epic journey I have encountered! Sadly, I didn't see James Loye at the matinee, which has disappointed me quite a little, but I must admit James Byng was very comical as being Frodo, even for my sister...she thinks that he is far cuter than Loye! Also news about James Loye: he came third place on the What's On Stage Awards 2008 back at 22nd. The real winner was Michael Ball from Hairspray...that musical has recieve 10 nominations and won 7 awards! What is the point of that?! Well the Set Designer of LOTR won a award and I am happy for him. Although I am rather sympathetic for James Loye...being third place can be very depressing for him.

We've got the Cast Recording soundtrack, it is very wonderful, hearing James Loye and Peter Howe makes me happy everytime I hear them. Sadly there was a Cast Signing at the Dress Circle Shop in London, with James Loye, Peter Howe, Michael Therriault, Rosalie Mae Craig, Jerome Pradon, Laura Michelle Kelly and Michael Rouse at 9th February, and I didn't come! I should have gone there and got a photo of me and James so I could have showed it to you all!

I do hope that they could make a full DVD of the show before they finish the actual production in Drury Lane (September 2008-extended booking), because I would want to see it over and over again!

Hopefully after my last exams in the summer, I will go back to Covent Garden and if I see Peter Howe or James Loye or anyone I know and like from the show, I'll try and take photos of me with them, if I can get the courage to say hi to them! I was encouraged by Peter Howe from his message, that I should have been braver, seeing him in full of his Sam Gamgee outfit (including feet) at the Stage Door. They are very lovely people I must say!

I hope everyone's well here! Sorry again for the delays!

As you would know that is French for the 5th musketeer. If you are going to ask me why five, don't ask, because I do not know why either ;). But I would say that it is a brilliant to have five instead of just having D'Artagnan of being new. These could be a result of the English lyrics to the theme song. I found it on Facebook. Kinda catchy as well...lol:

"With clever inventions, you know his intention's to help whenever he can. If you want something sorted, like enemies thwarted, then Albert is your man!

His name is Albert! Albert! He's Albert the Fifth Musketeer!

He's there at the double, whenever there's trouble, with wood, and string, and stuff. The things that he makes, have just what it takes, whenever the going gets rough.

His name is Albert! Albert! He's Albert the Fifth Musketeer!

He's sharp, he's cool, he's nobody's fool! He's Albert the Fifth Musketeer!

If you've been dropped in it, he's there in a minute, that's faithful Albert's way! He's got not pretention, just lots of inventions that always save the day! Hurray! For Albert! Albert! He's Albert the Fifth Musketeer!" 

There are episodes coming on Youtube, I found two (although they are resulted in French language) and I always laugh myself when I watch the musketeers being...well just musketeers. What I like about Albert now, is that he has this cool rifle that he could use anything (spaghetti bolognaise, eggs....mushy peas?). I wish I had one of those, they are so cool!!

If you hadn't seen this show then you should have! It had made me a little scared when I was young, but I enjoy the humour now!

Since I haven't been updating here for quite a while, and that I have my mock exams coming soon next week and stuff like that, I am going to show you about some of my cartoon show heroes:

These are just what I can think of, but they can always stay in my memories as much as they like. I feel like tangerines (Anything But Tangerines! Arriba!!)

Hey there! This is Rankin-Bass Friend here again, with some fluey voice as well. Over the half term, there had been some changes on the family today. Our old house in Somerset has been finally sold, and it was was the last time I would be ever to live there again. 20 years my family had been living in that 4 century or older mill house of ours. The water of the valley must have been dry for us I would expect.

Anyhow, I have been to my college up at Southend, and been having an interview with a teacher, whom I would be doing my Advanced Media/Publishing there, the room on the third floor! And I've got a place in college and I will be doing Publishing in less than a year's time!! Also I have been doing myself with making more screenshot videos of Rankin/Bass Frodo and Sam. Here is my second one, must be better than my first. Anyway, I do hope you enjoy it.

A special video about Rankin/Bass Frodo, including the Bakshi Frodo is coming soon, up on the next entry I would do somehow later. For I have been rather busy over the times, doing these videos, processing on my Yearbook and my seventh book and onwards, also dining myself on Wispa choccie bars. I've ate about five now!!

This is Rankin-Bass Friend here, signing off in 3...2...1!!  (slight pause) Eh, I'm still here...
