Sorry about the delay there.
Well, I know that the previous post has been upsetting people (and not only because it's the only thing they've had to read for the past fortnight), so here I am with a wonderful magical update....as soon as I can think of what's been happening.
Well, since you brought it up, I did dip my toe into the pool of relationship building. But it's too early to say anything at this point really, but if things start to develop I'll let you know more. Strange thing is, my manager already knows absolutely everything and I never told her a thing. She's got senses like a....well she's damn near omnipresent. Lets just say this, we got on well, shared some common interests, she struck up some conversations and we had a profound discussion about a remix of the Beastie Boy's classic Intergalactic, which you've just gotta read something into. Now if only they'd played some Outhere Brothers....
I've finally gotten the pictures from the housewarming onto my computer at home, and if you thought they were insane before, wait 'til you see them at full size. Oh my freakin god. I'd put them online now but Telewest are a bunch of dicks. Everytime I come home home I try to sign up, but it's always on a Sunday and their webserver always seems to go down around then. Today is no exception. I even came on Saturday, almost got it finished, but then it got too close to Sunday and it went down. Maybe their servers religious and refuses to work on the day of rest. Even now it's toying with me, going up and down like a fat guy on a trampoline, but not as mesmerising.
Talking about toying, I'm a big toy geek, I think I can admit that to you. Those who mock will be turned by there merest glimpse of my 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime....but that's not the point I was going to make. Today I went to Tynemouth market in search of booty...not that kind, have you any idea the average age of people who go to these places? That's more of the Monks range. Anyway, there were two things worth considering. One was a Star Wars AT-ST (chicken walkers as the woman kept calling them) for £10, which I'm kinda regretting not getting (they also had an AT-AT for £20 with practically everything missing apart from the legs and head), and they also had my favourite Thundercat of all time. Grune the destroyer was a Thundercats gone psycho avenger. Well Worth £2
What else has happened? We still haven't sorted any bills and the oven doesn't work, but that really isn't very interesting...unless we get arrested of course.
Oh yeah, I sorted out my DVD collection and it kicks more ass than ever. I've got it arranged so that when people look through they start taking the piss, then they fall in love with it and practically try to steal it away. Once people get to Big trouble in little china they're smitten.
I've finally met the neighbours and promptly forgotten their names. Apparently their old neighbours used to play knocky nine doors all the time so having drunken wasters who keep accidentally covering them in god knows what is a nice change. One of them even got excited when we started talking about computer languages, I however kept my cool and resisted leaping across the room and strangling him for liking Perl. I did get kick out of the situation when they told me that their main gripe about our loud music was that they couldn't actually hear it over the base. We're going to have to sort that problem out.
Three weeks since we moved into the flat and we're still not dead. I think we're going to have to go for some sort of record.
Oh, I've pretty much gotten over that massocistic phase. True I did get people to nip me hard on Friday, but there's a perfectly justifiable reason for that. Mumm-Ra told me to hug her (she had her arms outstretched too), to which I replied "I can't, that would look unprofessional" and walked briskly away. I got people to nip me to wake me up in the vauge hope that it was all a dream....however it was not. At this point of realisation, Kathryn came up with a great idea. Why not have Sam hug me right infront of her and see what happens. An interesting plan I'm sure you'll agree, and although it went off without a hitch, I can tell by the look on Mumm-Ra's face that Sam might soon have a very scary stalker. I love being unprofessional.
Over the past week I've gotten that craving to write again. After a good solid morning of searching I found my old old unfinshed story that I've always intended to get back to. So far it's mainly been about a guy moping around and getting depressed, but I have big big plans for him. I don't really want to give anything away, so I won't. Maybe I'll post the first chapter to let you have a look sometime. If you're interested that is.
Well I think that's about everything. If Telewest buck their ideas up I'll see you real soon.
