30.06.2005 About the Blogathon…

Seems the blogathon is back on again this year and once again I'm going to take part (I would have done last year too but it didn't happen *officially*). As if staying awake to blog for 24 hours wasn't tough enough, I've decided I'm going to combine it with a 24 hour famine but I haven't yet decided who I'm going to I'm going to blog for… I can't decide whether to do a repeat of last time and blog for Comic Relief again, or spread the love and go for my second favourite charity, Care International.

The Blogathon is August 6th, so stay tuned for updates, and I'll let you know how to sponsor my blogathon as and when the blogathon permits us to get signed up.

26.06.2005 The Lost Weekend…

Hi… My name's Andy and I'm a World of Warcraft Addict.

Hmmm seems that World of Warcraft is more addictive than I had predicted. Yesterday I started playing WOW after the install had finished at around 1pm and didn't come off until nearly midnight. Today I started at 11am and didn't finish until 9pm and that was only because the pressure levels in my skull had started to build to bursting point and I phsically couldn't cope with the pain anymore (the headache started at around 3pm). Oh and last night I dreamt about killing rabbits and wolves in the forest.

After a couple of hours off from the game and three Neurofen, the headache is now gone but I'm reading up on WOW stuff while installing a copy on my laptop so I can have a play during my lunch break and before work tomorrow.

I can't get over how attractive WOW is… I mean, neither of the computers I'll play it on are that powerful, both only featuring 32Mb graphics cards, but it runs a dream and looks gorgous!

I'll try and post pictures of my character tomorrow… He's a Dwarf Hunter named BadMastard (work it out) and after the weekends playing, currently stands at level 10 and has a pet Snow Wolf called Scamp.

Ladies and Gentlemen… I think I'm hooked!

25.06.2005 Gone Questin…

I've just been and bought World of Warcraft and I'm installing as we speak. I've heard a lot of good things about this game, and if it's addictive as I've heard then I may not be seen for sometime… If anyone here plays WOW and wants to meet up in the game and give me some help, drop me a comment and we'll sort something.

I'm on disk3 of the installation proceedure… only one more to go! yay! (god I'm suuuuch a geek!).

Update: AGHHH!!!! Just finished installing, sat through the epic intro movie and then found out I have a couple of hundred megs of updates to download! dammnit! I wanna play NOW!!

23.06.2005 Dammit all.

I wish I'd never gone to that fucking funeral now… I'm feeling absofuckinglutly crap and I hate it.

22.06.2005 The Twat I Am

Hmmmm… tough day. I've not long returned from my first *ever* funeral. While I didn't get especially emotional during the service it did bother me to have to watch so many other people become so completely distraught at the loss of a friend/family member. It especially saddened me to see the son of the person who had passed away so physically upset at the loss of his mother. I've known him since birth and even baby sitted for him on a few occasions and never in the 14 years I've known him can I recall seeing him upset. Something else happened today. I've had a bit of a moment of realisation. Realisation that I am a cold person who is horrendously self conscious in emotional situations. Today I saw people I've known for a long time upset and not had the nerve or feeling to go and comfort them. I don't know why but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I'm annoyed at myself and I think I'm going to be sitting down and having a good hard think tonight. I'm such a shit.

15.06.2005 Crazy Crazy Clients…

I posted out an order to a customer today. The customer placed the following comment in the comments section: “Great service, but you smell.”

WTF?

13.06.2005 Grrrr…

You wouldn't believe how frustrated I am right now. I'm really at my wits end with a certain person and that person must surely know it. Sometimes frustration can be a good thing that makes you keep trying and trying until you've found a solution. This frustration is doing the opposite. It's making me crazy mega angry upset insane and goddamit I just don't know what the hell to do about it. like the subject of this post says… Grrr

08.06.2005 STOP! (hammertime).
