How was your day?

[EEVILMURRAY]

Can anyone think of anything to add to this complaint?

I recommend you put "C'maahn, don't bullshit me" somewhere within that letter.

They are new, they have not been played. You don't complain that a baby comes out covered in goo do you :p

You don't complain because you expect it be covered in placenta/whatever. When you buy a new game you expect it to be in near/mint condition.

 

You order a book which is listed as new and the spine is creased and pages folded in corners, you would be ok?

 

 

HOWEVER! Shaymin X 3 get today. Few little buggers about whose knowledge of Pokémon made my nails decompose. One started saying that his Sceptile was Mature so it meant blah blah...

 

This chap mentioned Serebii as well. I applauded him for that [not literally]

[bluey]

if i bought a game and it was covered in afterbirth i'd be pretty upset. even if it was a pre-owned game O_o !!

 

but c'mon! who the hell BUYS games anymore? jamba's sister just gave us £110 worth of lovefilm.com vouchers ~ resi5 ho!

What if it still had the Star points voucher?

[Eenuh]

Yay, finally got paid today! Had been more than a month since my last payment from work, so I was getting a bit worried, haha. Especially since payment normally happens on Thursday, though this week it went through on Friday (well today). Guess Easter Monday has to do with it.

Not much money I earned but still better than nothing at all. ^____^

 

 

Got woken up at 7:30 this morning but managed to stay in bed for another hour... and end up having a nightmare I think, as I woke up in a horrible sweat! O.O

So yeah, had to shower that off and then have sorta been working since then, with little breaks on the internet hehe.

That reminds me! Tis payday for me t00! Only gonna get about £88 for last week, but still. Monies.

 

Plus finally get monies from my brother that I lent him. I have no doubt I'll get some bullshit excuses from him. Which means I'll be changing the password on the laptop.

those are only useful if you live in japan... so it wouldnt be much of a consolation. ould probably calm my rage a smidge though..

Wooohoooo yay for monies! I only got €81 since the beginning of March really, but yeah, still happy. Just wish I could work more hours again. X3

Slept longer today than I normally do. Didn't fall out of bed until 8.45 which is an achievement seeing as I'm not a long sleeper. Had a weird ass dream though last night. Can't remember exactly what the hell happened but it was weird in the sense that you think 'What the hell did I just dream about?' because it felt so meaningless. It was something along the lines of a room filled with equal numbers of men and women, and I was there, and they were all being pimped out or something to each sex. O.o Really strange.

 

Anyways, I've played a little gameage, courtesy of Henry Hatsworth (which isn't as good as Rez says due to comprising of a mish-mash of gameplay ideas that only work as bulk but are terrible individually) and some other stuff for work. Have just finished watching an episode of Gossip Girl, which took forever to load up, and am now looking for something to do to take up my time and keep my mind off of food, seeing as I am and have been cutting out lunch for the last few days and so I now have like a 5 and a half hour wait until I eat again. Not being helped by the fact that there is a thing of chocolate digestive biscuits sitting at my bro's desk. Listening to the new Lacuna Coil album so that'll take up an hour or so.

[EEVILMURRAY]

those are only useful if you live in japan...

I mean the Club Nintendo ones we have.

[Jimbob]

If something is listed as "New", then the box must also fit that category, i wouldn't mind too much if it wasn't sealed (only brand new released games come like that really). I would be on the same boat as ReZ if something came in a tatty condition if listed as "New"

 

Anyway, i'm hoping the phone line is sorted today as BT promised to fix it on Wednesday (booked an engineer for today). Got really annoyed with the net going off every 5 or so mins yesterday, hence my lack of showings here really.

 

I also need to motivate myself into getting to book a Doctors apointment about my slightly high blood pressure which is preventing the gym staff from completing my application. Really should have done something about this 2 weeks ago.

Dear internet,

 

To all wannabe socialist vampires,

 

So my ex. The entire love affair was like something out of a child-evacuee's memoirs. That's a little extreem, sure... but basically our love grew because of the distance from each other. We were home to one another, and spending the worse parts of each month hundreds of miles apart just catalysed those feelings, and tied our love to the perpeptual empty shadow of absence...

 

So, uh, basically I think I love her more when she's not here. Heh. When she's far away the love is fuzzy and perfect like an image through a pair of binoculars; a garden fence, perhaps; disattached to your reality yet so clearly physical. Your mind seeks and focuses on translating what you see, in believing that it is real.

 

But when you walk up to the fence you were looking at, you see the cobwebs and the bird shit, you see the cracks and the rot in the wood and the frail and unfed weeds straddling ignored, too far away from a lawn-mower's blade to match up to the perfection you saw before.

 

Fucksakemo.

 

Got home at 5am after going to wetherspoons for a bunch of double sailor Jerry's and some conversations with strangers. Smoking areas... man they make smoking worthwhile. We had an hour-long intense conversation with three people about sheffield, vinyl, raves, drugs, beaches, construction, dubai, reggae, dub-step, unemployment butchers and people... and we never even exchanged names. It's like Omegle, but IN REAL LIFE! Guys, c'mon, how awesome is that? Fuck the internet and its repetitive stress injuries, fuck anonymous and its insomniac-autistical daylightaphobic alcoholism -- take up smoking and you can talk about random interesting things to people you never have and never will see again. Outside. In The Real.

 

These two points -- the binoculars and the Omegle -- they share a common notion, too. There is something about human contact that will never be replicated by the internet. Falling in love with the distant, unreal entity that is your computer fuckin' monitor only leads to a sort of pathological entropy.

 

Does nobody find it odd how the internet is where people insult the real world, when the real world is rapidly becoming the minority of the two realms? That's... realityism! That's making us need to come up with a whole new fuckin word for reality - IRL! It's like invading another contry just because your 'people' want to be recognised as their own separate nation by taking the name of the country they have invaded and keeping it as their own.

 

Aren't books really pretentious? I mean the biggest fucking twist of the whole story (and this is so true) is that the story was not written to you but only to those wee names on that page after the title. "To my love".

And it wasn't written for you either. No. It was written for the dead, and maybe for death itself.

 

You have to be a poet to be a good writer. But which trade is the one at the far end of the binoculars?

Its called Hyperreality

 

Spent all day doing uni work as usual. Went through my AD assignment and realised I only have three sources thus far so I've picked out issues and done research and got quotes. Popped to sainsburys for a break and now going to pop these quotes in which should hopefully (pretty much) finish off this assignment.

 

Also phoned O2 because I wanted to access my O2 account online and after a lot of faffing around and getting onto an account in which I explained I can't see my bill because im sure its linked to my old account, even though I've transferred the number ("oh no don't worry about the number. is there anything else I can do for you today?" "umm yeah, I want to be able to see my bill") she dissapeared some more and then said "we've tried to access your account too many times today, try again tomorrow." Ta love.

 

Also checked the balance for the bank I use. Harsh. I may see about getting my overdraft increased (at £250 at present) as im on -£160. I should be getting paid (a bit) next Friday and hey, maybe the dickwad will finally give me my money back. But best be safe eh? Also figured out post-loan monies in regards to Japan and my mother has asked to borrow some.

@MBAM - Well done.

 

@ Jay - Always a pleasure to read your ramblings. You do come up with some crap sometimes, albeit interesting crap. For example, I would say you would have to be a good writer to become a poet. You can't dive head first into the literary workings of poetry as it far outreaches that of novel writing. I would write more on what you've said but I think I need to read it again. It's amazing how you manage to mess with a person's head through an insightful ramble.

[Paj!]

DT Deadline day, so skived all other lessons. But then I had to go home to pick up my USB stick and come back.

 

Then my mum phoned and demanded it be moved to Monday, since I technically get extra time in exams due to my undiagnosed (the school should have diagnosed it) dyslexia. I'm speshul.

 

Also they owe me, after FORGETTING TO SEND OFF MY UCAS.

[Slaggis]

OMG! You're kidding? I'd be fuming.

[Paj!]

Strangely not. The place I REALLY wanted to go was direct application anyway, so if my UCAS had self-destructed, it wouldn't have been the end of the world.

 

But yeah. Interview at Edinburgh on Wednesday. Might ask Letty how hers went later tonight...

[bluey]

just got back from my interview with the sushi restaurant...

it went pretty well! i'm usually pretty confident with interviews anyway so i was relaxed ~ and i think i even managed to impress them despite the MASSIVE BLACK MARK I HAD ON MY FOREHEAD which i only discovered when i got home just now !!!! >___< *SIGH!* luckily(ish) it could pass for a small bruise rather than a stupid smudge of makeup which is what i think it was o___O

i'd just slumped down onto my bed when my phone rang! it's the guys from the sushi restaurant calling the arrange a trial shift next week

so i have two days of sushi on thursday and friday of next week.

 

the good thing about it is that they're not going to waste my time; if they dont think i'm doing OK they'll just tell me straight away ~ which is good 'cause otherwise two days is a lot of time to give to company that arent gunna employ you.

 

to summarise: YAY!

 

also: tomorrow i shall be meeting some guy in town and buying his platinum gamecube for £10. yay for owning a console again!!!

 

also mk.2: though the bad news is that i came home to find that my BISCUIT housemates had left the back door wide open... so the house was both open and empty.

nice one, guys. nice one.

I knew you'd do well on the interview! Go bluey. Look in the mirror next time

[ReZourceman]

A speed camera flashed on the way home.

 

First thyme I've seen one flash.

 

It was on the other side and might have been flashing someone else.

 

Might have been me though. Was speeding....massive lolzors. If I do have a ticket might as well make the fine worth it and go and run over some children, innit.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

 

I swear it HURTS to be as fucking awesome as I am sometimes.

 

The guy who DESIGNED The Astounding Wolf-Man just saw my model of him and said "Hey, that's pretty cool!!!"

 

 

Well thats basically made....my...day? Month? More. Mebbe.

 

:heart::heart::heart:

[Slaggis]

I'm about to go out for a night at the local winebar, which should be a good laugh...hopefully. So much work to do tomorrow so I cannot get a hangover, but the money in my back pocket is screaming to be spent on booze.

 

...Hangover it is.

That is pretty awesome. Nice one dude

[Pantsu Man!]

Moved all my possessions back home. I think my setup is quite neat now. Absolutely knackered after packing, carrying down stairs, packing into car, unpacking out of car, carrying up stairs and unpacking in room for 2 days. Also moving around cables up in the attack. It's a sauna up there with all the fluffy insulator stuff, I actually had sweat dripping off me. That's never really happened before.

Is that all the Storthes/Uni love gone until September then?

 

I'm still here! *waves from storthes*

 

I don't understand why people scamper off back home. I'm staying my flat for next year over the summer.

Pretty much yeah. I would have stayed but I figured annoying housemates and having to pay for food, I'd rather do without for now. I move back home, have good internet, have no-one bothering me day and night and I live happily.

If I'd done the same as you and gone for a flat like you have then I would also stay in it over summer. Right now I need a summer job though.

If I find one I can work 2 extra months instead of doing bugger all but play games, eat and sleep.
