Change of Plans

I usually leave the angst ridden, self loathing posts for dA. This time is no different.

I can't get on MSN, Yahoo, AIM or ICQ at Dad's house. Unlike me he put up no resistance to Windows XP SP2 so his firewall has gone into overdrive and blocks everything. I'll try and sort it out but no promises.

Away

In Gloucester all week as I explained earlier. Sigamp won't be showing anything as I forgot to load my mp3 collection up. Fortunately my Dad's comp is more reliable than mine and the connection is a bit faster. Downloads completed so far are episodes 9 and 10 of Stratos 4.

There is one drawback though and it comes in the shape of a big blue E.

Alone With My Thoughts

And we all know how dangerous that is.

Anyway, off to Gloucester for half-term. I got a broadband connection superior to mine and apparantly Emma (my eldest sister) has a proper hard DDR pad so I'll have that to keep me busy. I'm also taking most of my Gamecube stuff so I can show my brother a thing or 2. If you think its pointless taking my controller when my brother has 4 already then you don't know how superstitious I am when it comes to controllers. I will usually only concede to being player 2/3/4 if I've got an official controller. In my opinion though, player 3 is the new player 1. I'm also taking my memory card as there are a few games we both have (and I'm taking my favourites over anyway).

So overall this is all gonna be packed into my bag (the black and red Jeep bag I'm always seen with)

Mental Imagery

I've got a deep moral decision to take. Problem is I can't think about it without laughing. I know its considered fasionable for certain types of people to show off what's keeping their privates private but generally I didn't think the female half of the species was included in any of those groups. Especially when the private-hider is white with black spots. Cute yes, cool no.

Funny? Hell yeah.

R.I.P

I think the Hereford bloggers are dead. I might just have to set a few LiveBookmarks for them.

dA Borkdom

Dammit, dA is fully borked. I got a pretty impressive message centre to get through too.

No One Really Seems To Care

All I needed was one thing. That one sign that I mattered to you, it was just 5 seconds of your life and you didn't want to waste them on me.
