So living at home is going OK. I try not to be there as much as possible so I don’t piss off my parents. Plus I’m kinda nocturnal so if I am there I am quietly playing games in my room, or watching movies.

Unfortunately, Telecom (the bastards) won’t hook up broadband to my house. The say its too far from the exchange to get any signal, however the neighbour has broadband! But the cabling guy told us one more connection on our roadside box will knock everyone off.

So it would seem the box needs upgrading. Every telephone box around our area has been upgraded except ours. So not fair. I can’t even be bothered to put a modem in my PC and run a phone line to my room cos I know 56k will drive me up the wall.

So I just use the net at work when I can. It works, but I really really really wanna play some COD4 online dammit.

So I been playing Race Driver: GRID and Colin Mcrae DiRT (which use the same engine). Amazing, amazing games. Honestly, if you haven’t played them yet, get them. The damage engine is awesome, your car never breaks the same way twice. I rolled my rally car 4 times, ripped all the doors off and landed back on my wheels and kept going. Was mean! And you can actually feel the speed, especially in GRID when you’re racing GT1 and GT2 cars. The drift in grid is also full of awesomeness.

Also, poor Lilley has had a myriad of problems in the UK, from her bank fucking her round to her laptop hard drive dying. Don’t buy Dell and don’t use HSBC for your bank. Hopefully everything has worked out for her now.

Just finishing work now… goodbye broadband

This morning I woke up on the couch and Becky was pouring water on my face. Hardy-ha-ha always the joker eh… lol.

Went back to sleep and this random as dream. Don’t know where it was, maybe america somewhere. Me and Lilley were working(?) there for some reason. It was a place that looked like a cross between an office and a kitchen, but most people were playing games like UT.

Anyways there were some drinks or something and everyone was getting trashed and I think doing mushies. Was pretty fun. Could’ve been a representation of IRC perhaps?

I think someone spiked Lilley’s and she was getting a bit messy, then it was time to go and I ended up looking after some random chick and some dude was looking after Lilley. I was watching her incase that was the dude that spiked the drink but she looked with it and like she knew him so I didn’t worry too much.

We had to walk back through this forest place path thing the girl I was looking after got picked up and I came accross Lilley alone in the forest thing. I was like “Who the hell would just leave you alone here?”, and walked off with her.

That’s pretty much all I remember…

Damn… Lilley’s got me so hooked on Guitar Hero… just thinking about it everywhere eh (and that makes me think of her lol!), see all the colours coming down the screen, the patterns for the riff of every song I listen to. Today I was listening to Black Label Society (as you may have picked up from the last post).

He would be hard to play I reckon. So many swapovers between the strums and the long strums (??). Shit that reminds me, gotta get my ticket to the Chimaira/Korn/Biohazard/Throwdown/Bloodsimple concert. That’s going to be mean.

So much for leaving at 8am. Woke up at like, 930. Had a shower and stuff, texted Lilley. Didn’t want to leave without having an actual conversation with her lol (like not wasted). The others got up and screwed around for a while, we bought the guy whose house we were staying at some beer and stuff as a thank you. Got on the road at about 11:45, the others went back and I headed to Lilleys. Chatted with her and her brothers mates for a while.

Had a game of Guitar Hero with her, and got fuckin owned. It was my first go, but seriously, that girl can shred!

We were both still pretty munted from the night before I think lol, I felt like such a douchebag… like real slow and dumb. But yeah, she’s really cool. Hard to find girls like her. Then you do find her and something comes between you. *sigh* Murphy’s law bites me in the ass again…

Far out… slept in so long. Marlo came round again, fuck he’s hilarious and without even trying to be. Such a munter lol, Awesome shit… Anyway we all went out to the beach at Oriental Bay, and they played hacky. I didn’t wanna get burned, or put on sunscreen. So I was sitting there in my hoodie, looking like a creepy stalker, while texting Lilley lol. Luckily there was quite a chilly breeze so didn’t get too hot with my hood up.

Brown and Rebecca sunbathed and played guitar while the others played hacky, rugby, and frisbee. Pretty crackup watching them play. Some other dudes had a big slingshot and were trying to shoot this boat that was parked out in the bay with waterbombs. They hit it a few times. The people on board were looking real confused.

With Marlo as our tour guide we went and got lunch in my van. Then we went to the beach by the airport and watched the planes taking off and landing and stuff, sitting in the lounge chairs in the van.

Marlo was also nice enough to drop us off at the concert. When we saw the line at the gates to the concert, we were like “Holy Shit!” it was so long. But it started moving pretty quick. This is when I saw the KISS ARMY, in camo pants and singlets, that was a really mean idea.
