This blog isn't dead. This blog is cursed. Through my own laziness, I have brought down upon this blog a fate worse that death - immortality.
Other blogs are dying around it - Yasmin Levi Miller's has officially stopped, but there is no sense of overwhelming victory in seeing it go - it's reached the end of its time and slipped peacefully out of existence. Yet this blog, fruitless and parched though it is, cannot follow suit. It goes on, completely un-refreshed and un-updated, abandoned even by its followers, and yet my pride will not allow it to die. I would rather see it crawl face down and forgotten through a desert of lathargy and sluggardness than grant it the mercy of its own demise. There will never be a time when my own self interest (and the illusion of other's interest in myself) will be so little as to not sustain these pages in their thirsty coma, hardly alive, but by no means dead. So this is the first update for a long time, and for all we know it could mark the start of a season, or be merely a mirage of hope, followed by the same unceasing silence.
/BLATANT TONE CHANGE/
Hey, the title of this blog is vaguely related to zombies, and I love talking about those. I don't actually have anything to say about them at the moment, but I'm sure these guys do. (It's a cool site for people are interested in such things, me and some random bozo joined it.)
Like Minecraft, dying repeatedly and feeling generally inadequate? Try this.
Now that my undirected linking episode has come to an end, lets talk about something serious:
Mission Slovakia
There's no way I can talk about this in any detail without crashing the internet from words, but it was awesome. Highlights were:

There's no way I can talk about this in any detail without crashing the internet from words, but it was awesome. Highlights were:
- Visiting a disabled people's home and finding out that 'disabled people's home' is the Slovak word for 'this thing where you play loads of instruments at once; rave to Shakira and coming of age songs about an orange; eat pizza; pour out a vat of tennis balls and then use a baseball bat to hit them into the windows whilst jumping on a trampoline.
- Shooting a pigeon in the head with a nerf gun. Also spending ages trying to catch pigeons.
- Meeting a guy called Jacub (Ya-kub)
- Yakub commiting his life to god
- Bare other people doing likewise. (If you don't consider that a highlight, I would open mindedly point out that you are bozo.)
So yeah, Vensko 2010 was awesome beyond compare, and all my work I thought I wouldn't get done because of going got done and everything was fine. God totes answers the prayer.
Totes...? Totally? I'm sure that's a really cool way to abbreviate things.
Well, this post is rapidly losing direction and meaning, not to mention my upcoming exams, so I'm going to quite while I'm ahead. See you whenever, roaring fandom!
