Cake.

Well, not really. There was no cake. I had one and a half brownies, though.

Yeah, I turned 22 yesterday. No biggie.

I don’t really like birthdays. At least I didn’t work this one.

Got a few SMSes (SMSs?), etc. Took Lou to Manly for an hour for lunch. It wasn’t the best lunch ever for $14, she paid though. ;)

Still, I knew I should have gone to either Shakespeare’s, Montezuma’s or one of the kebab shops. I’m sort of over the cafe dining thing. I know it’s nice to sit down somewhere and kick back, but the prices are always bullshit and half the time the food isn’t that good anyway.

Give me Subway or give me expense!

Reflection.

I was bored at work today (surprisingly), and it dawned (again) how quickly the last year has gone. Let’s have a quick run down from what I can remember:

  • This time last year I’d just moved back home from Ross’ flat and was gearing up for my trip to the Middle East with Lou.
  • team.dot was in preparation for the Enemy Territory finals on GameArena, which we ended up winning whilst I was overseas.
  • I was starting to get a little nervous about going back to uni after taking a year off, wondering if I’d be able to keep motivated to get through the year fully, even though it was part time.
  • I began playing CoD after I got back from the Middle East with dot, learning the game and helping the team develop in to a big competitor on the scene.
  • Around the same time I’d started to have more of an influence on dot’s direction and activities. We still had the pro attitude and aspired to get full sponsorship with the hope of getting to play overseas at some big CoD tourneys.

That’s a little bit. So much sort of happened but it all went so quickly. Maybe I’ll do some more when it comes back to me. :O

Hi.

Noosa was good. I didn’t get sunburnt. Bike riding fucked my bum up for a few days. We all did plenty of walking and I even went to the beach a few times. Ate lots of gelato. Didn’t get pissed very often. Stuck to my budget, then spent more when I got home.

What Ancient Greek Personality Type Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Boo.

Too hot. Tired. Have to go to IGA and shop. Got knocked back from moving to the IT division at work because I couldn’t work full time for the next two years.

That’s probably a good thing though, in the end, partially at least. Why? Because I can still keep my flexible, higher-paying job in data entry, along with having enough “free time” to do tutoring at uni as well. The downside is I miss out on an IT job for my resume. :s

They were only offering $12-13/h or ~$28-30k/year for a graduate position. Pretty shit, especially if I end up getting through honours later on (which will quite probably lead to getting offered better jobs if I do well), so yeah, maybe it’s for the best.

Ah well.

I’m having a fat day. Boo.

Noosa on Sunday. Dentist on Saturday. Both should be an experience. I must remember to floss!

NYE.


Your New Years Resolution Should Be: Wake up before noon


You’ve been accused of sleeping your life away
And it’s a little bit true – you are really into your pillow
In fact, it may be years since you’ve seen a sunrise at the *start* of your day
Sleep a little less. Some sunshine would do you good.

Sounds fair.

KMFDM.

Was good. The concert that is. Yay. I bought a t-shirt for $25. Not too bad a price. They even did two encores and stated that the Sydney show tonight was their final show in their world tour of 2004, which was nice. Unfortunately the t-shirt van coming in from Perth wrote itself off after it ran in to a kangaroo on the freeway or something, delaying the delivery of the KMFDM merch.

Anyway, I’m glad I went and thought it was fun.

CLGA was also fun. Especially without a PC. I don’t think I’ll even take a PC to a LAN again (or LARN if orphic  is hosting it). The social side always shines through with the people I hang around with anyway – no one bothers playing games except their competition rounds. Not bringing anything saves so much time, trouble, stress and money as it’s usually free or a lot cheaper to just be a spectator and not a competitor. Of course you can’t win any prizes that way, but meh.

Fuck I’m tired.

Quiz.

Yeah we’re on a $10 prepaid dialup plan, waiting for Telstra to process the ADSL line fault that dearest Larry submitted on my behalf last Tuesday. The things we do.

Went to a barbecue at home last night and saw David and Clare again. Actually got to speak a bit more to Clare as well, which was nice. Had plenty of food and even more sugar for the weekend. I’m going to be diabetic in the near future, I feel.
