Redknob's Emotional Counselling (and MMORPG abuse) Inc.

Yeah I’m just everybody’s favourite shoulder to cry on at the moment. I dunno if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I assume it’s a good thing… Right?

Lou’s 21st birthday tomorrow! Wooohooo she’s going to be an old lady! Wooo!

Her party on Saturday night was pretty fun. Black & white theme while she wore red. Red is the best colour, I felt like I was missing out if I couldn’t wear it. :( heh

She had a swank dress though.

Hmm I really should start using my digital camera more. Methinks I shall!

Oh yeah at the party someone flogged Laura’s handbag, and made off with $30 and her shitty 18 month old bent phone… However they left the SIM card and her wallet and everything else in the bag and stashed it around the side of the house. THE GAME IS AFOOT!

Damn arsehole robbers.

I’m bludging the first few hours of work again, in my typical fashion. I really should stop going to bed so late so that I don’t mind getting up early to go to work, but meh, that’s no fun.

One day I’ll condition myself to be tough… Or maybe I’ll just change my work hours around some. Who knows. I don’t mind working that early, it’s just getting up that’s the hard part. Grr.

Tofu’s talked me in to playing Final Fantasy XI, another MMORPG. He’s also gotten me to spend ridiculous amounts of money on There. On top of that, he inspired me to download the buggy Diabloesque MMORPG Priston Tale.

*shakes fist*

I should probably stop talking to him, it’ll save me money, time and bandwidth… Argh.

Oh and I even tried out Puzzle Pirates. Cute but it seems overly annoying for someone like me. Stupid lame puzzles. :(

Lloydie has been staying over the last few days, Ross is back on Friday. Apparently he has the Hulk DVD for me direct from China… I wonder if it’s going to be a shonky rip or from a cinema or something. Hmm…

I really need to cut my nails… I should probably get another haircut soon too, along with having a shave… Then again where’s the fun in that?

OMGWTFBSHAX

Holy crap, Krystal finally emailed me back. :P

You’d better be reading this. I went to all this trouble for the sake of looking random, and putting off going to work.

Keep on up!

Damn Cam has made me feel guilty now that he has his own journal… Of course it’s not as pro as mine. :D

Hmm let’s see, what’s happened of late.

Friday night saw Kirsty’s 21st, was an 80s theme… I couldn’t find any damn 80s style clothes (I was going to go Richard Simmons style with the funky exercise attire) but I scored 2 shitty singlets from a Chinese junk shop… Yay? At least the CDs I made were good… It’s always nice having 20 gigs of mp3s to pick the best 80s party songs from.

On Saturday I trekked up to Newcastle with Ian (SyntaxTerror) for ex (or inactive as he says) dotmaen Jonny-Hero’s (delerium) 21st… Caught up with Scotty (tofu) as well, then went out and partied on the town… Christ I even cut up the dance floor a little. Look out world, I’m out and about and I’m GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVY!

Or not. Hrm…

haha
Some gay dude tried to buy Jonny a drink. ^_^

Bummed around in Newcastle on Sunday arvo with them, cept Scott cuz he was playing There most likely… :o There’s some funky Sydney inner-westesque places in that town. Jolly good.

Ross’ mum is staying with us again, they’re both off to Shanghai or something tomorrow. House to myself! Woot! I’m gonna be so hungry. :/

1500/256 ADSL came in on the 20th. Bonar. So sweet getting near-cable download speeds again. :D

Anyway that’s enough blabbing for the meantime.

Ouch.

Just got home about an hour ago from a bbq at Laura’s… Wrestling is fun. :D I have a few cuts and grazes but it’s all good… Such good exercise hehe.

Boring old week. Lou got Purge for me by Bif Naked, off ebay. :) Haven’t listened to it yet.

Ross’ mum is staying with us for a couple of days. She’s cool. My mum is going on her overseas trip on Tuesday… Wonder if she’ll bring me back some cool stuff.

I think I got a bit sunburnt at the bbq, hmm.

I’m so sick of work. heh. I hate my hours but anyway. I piked on Mary this morning, was meant to go to the drop zone with Emma and Lou to see her do some skydiving. She’s gonna be so cut and give me so much shit at work tomorrow for not going. Bah, I’ll just blame Emma. Yeah that’ll cut it.

Ross still bitches if I don’t do the washing up straight away… Fairy. hehe

Hmmmmmmm I could really go for… I don’t know, something. Hmm.

Bonjour.

Lah.

Had a bit of a topsy turvy week in dot, accidentally forfeited a RTCW match and then got caught out on a technicality for ET and couldn’t play 4 starters, so we lost the AussieClans grand final. Oops.

I forget if I posted about Elwin’s funeral, I don’t think I did. I got to carry the casket and it was pretty damn heavy… Was a long day but all the services were really nice and everything went smoothly, so that’s good. Mum sent them a card that I got to sign so yeah…

Grandpa’s ashes got scattered the Sunday before as well. Was just a quiet little day up at the shack… Only my parents, Glen from next door and cousin Brett and I were there. Nothing special. We tipped a beer in to the lake for him though. :)

Also doesn’t look like dot is going to CyberX any more… Few things holding us back, having trouble getting a sponsor and looks like the tourney mightn’t be as good as we were expecting… So yeah. Bummer.

At least I got my passport.

I think Cam wants me to refer him a livejournal login or some shit… I don’t think I can though since I already referred Kirsty so she could start that weight loss board thingy with Lou and Luce. Wowee…

Speaking of Kirsty, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wassup Asren. ^_^

Anyway I’m done. v55

Geek nation!

Why not take The Geek Test and see how you go?

I scored “33.72781% – Total Geek”… Oh great feelings!

If you think that’s good, guess who got “42.80355% – Major Geek”? I wont tell, I’ll just say it’s some old man. ^_^

Ringo is in Sydney tonight… I’m gonna take him to Paddy’s and show him how r0x0r Sydney meets are… Dunno how many will show though with the short notice and all. Maybe they’ll just hide because he’s from Melbourne, I dunno. :o

On a more serious note… Elwin died this morning. :( Not exactly sure what happened yet, I think he got an illness or something and his body couldn’t fight it off or something. Haven’t been able to get on the phone to mum or dad yet (gg both having their mobiles turned off >_<) but I'll keep trying… He didn't seem too poorly at his 21st the other night. I guess things just happen.

Bugger.

Money matters muchly.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I’m poor again!

Paid the rent, paid for passport, paid for petrol and paid for a Belkin SpeedPad and it came with a game mouse… They’re both pretty cool I guess. I just wanted something smaller than a keyboard to play with, because I can’t fit my mouse and keyboard on this desk properly.

The keyboard still rapes the SpeedPad for RTCW, imho at least, so unfortunately I don’t know if I’ll bother using this thing after all… :/ Still, it could come in handy for something else. It’s certainly a useful piece of equipment, it’s just not optimised for how I want to use it though, compared to how the keyboard handles wolfies… Oh well.

Going to another winesoc dinner tonight. Lloyd just got here finally, so we might be able to go. Wow.

Man I need to get my car serviced… Bleh.

Oh and two cool things to mention:

1) Lou got on the radio talking to Robbie Buck (triple j) about Something For Kate… Ugh…
2) Lou got my tickets to see Weird Al in concert when he tours here later this year. :D

Woot.

Yar the banditos.

Or not.

I’m bored and need a shower.

Teen choice awards are on, David Spade is teh lamez0r.

haha

At least he said Christina Aguileira was at a pie eating contest.

Speaking of pie eaters, I’ve got work tomorrow. :(

Hmm I really really really really really need to go for a run today. I’d best do it, eh?

I tried playing some Unreal Tournament again today, I still can’t handle that game. I want to stab it in the face.

Yes, yes I must.

Stabby stabby.

No pressure.

Thanks 4. :P

Well the flat is still going nicely. I really should go for another run tonight, don’t know if I will though because I just feel sleepy and it’s kinda comfy sitting here doing nothing.

Ross has gone off to uni again, he should be back in a couple of hours. Man I bet he thinks I constantly keep knocking them out as soon as he shuts the door behind him. :/ How crap is that? Maybe I should tell him I give him at least a 5 minute clearance… :o

I really want a fireplace or something like a heater or god knows what to warm up this damn flat. Ah well. I’ve sort of adapted to the cold and it makes me stronger like Christina Aguilera so it can’t be all bad. :P … Shaddup.

Beyonce is hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwt! O_O

Anyway.

We’re having dotlaen at my place. :o Should be exciting and cozy and I have no doubt there’ll be plenty of fudge packing going on left right and centre… Actually I’d best make sure Ross doesn’t bring his boyfriend over to prevent that from happening… Hmm.

I’m eating alright. Ross isn’t a bad cook. I still do the washing up but I don’t mind doing it actually.

We believe that all of our neighbours think we’re a gay couple… It might have something to do with all the loud cries of “SUCK MY DICK, YOU FAG” occurring randomly at all hours of the day, I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just the rampant touchy feely business we get up to in front of the kitchen window. I hope the peeping tom neighbours like it when we wave mid-act.

Went to a BBQ at Byrne’s yesterday, was pretty cool… Knocked back a couple of vegetarian sausages, note not soy ones, just vegetarian, but they didn’t taste like any vegetable I know of… Beats me too. :/

GameArena’s fourth RTCW season began today. Hopefully the dotmaens can retain first position on the ladder, even though we’re concentrating more on the Cyber X Games which occur in January… We should be able to go. I just have to get my passport finalized… Hrm. I don’t want to get interviewed by some weird dude just to get a passport… Oh well. Meh.

That’ll do knob, that’ll do.

Home again home again jiggedy jig.

Hello hello. I’ve been in the flat almost a week now! Yeah I moved out last Tuesday… We’ve already had rampant fun and I even went for a run. Scary shit.

Had our housewarming last night, was fairly quiet but still good fun. Cleanup wasn’t too bad either.

Final Fantasy X is cool maen!@ :D Been playing it whenever I can on Ross’ PS2.

We finally moved the double bed out of the flat and made a computer room out of the master bedroom. Got Ross to help me construct this leet computer table and now the setup is pure class. Even brought some weights over from home so when I’m bored I can just lift a few here and there.

I feel so fat, been eating shit the last three days. Gonna have to work hard to make myself get back down another few kilos.

I think Lou and Luce and Kirsty are going to start a little weight watchers style thing of their own… Dunno if I wanna bother with that or not. Maybe I should, I don’t know. Hrm.

Anyway that’ll do for the moment.
