Well Its been ages and I finally remembered I haven't updated this in 4 months and a -lot- has happened.

First off, been busy, very busy for the last few months. My Uncle Dwayne passed away on the 24th of December 2004, it really hit us all hard, very unexpected. We held two services, one in Portland and on in The Mount. I don't really want to write about it, too depressing to think about.

I still haven't quit smoking again, meh, anti-smokers can bite my large round ass. Go Go PJs!

What else. Oh I spent January hanging out with Megan and Ashleigh, had a lot of fun on New Years Eve, Megan is too bloody good at fighting games for a girl :p then again Ash and I were stinking drunk. Did watch The Great Escape, cool movie, I couldn't believe they hadn't seen it before! And for real, I've missed hanging out with Megs.

Erin (SomeGuy) came down for a week as well, it was fun, he and Megs got on well and he and Ash always do, we played far too much Star Craft and did 2 very late nights (starting and 6pm and not finishing until 8am and 11am is not coo, totally not coo) but ever so much fun.

What else... oh yeah play AO far too much :p

Made some new friends, kind of anyway.

Meh this will do for now methinks. I've gotta log back into AO and camp stuff.

Anyway got stuff to do, later,

Andrew.

Well been a busy few months, really busy, and not all of it has been good.

My Grandfather on my father's side passed away... It came as something of a shock even though I'd known he had been ill for some time, but at least I got to spend some time with his before he passed. Still... very depressing.

I've been really sick myself for the last 3 weeks, just starting to come out of it, nasty nasty nasty chest infection, so very uncool.

Oh Stuart got engaged! He and Louise are kind of an odd couple, but they fit well, they had their engagement party on Saturday... I'm not good at parties so I spent most of my time out the front chain smoking with Roger and Damian :P

Oh yeah... I started smoking again... don't tell Nana kthx? 6 fricken years of being good, well I did relapse a few times, and I'm back >.< Uncool... oh well I'm not smoking that much, 1 pack pretty much lasts me two weeks. But still... anyway MEH! My lungs! My choice :P

What else... oh still playing AO way too much heh. Finally got myself a 20GB Nomda Mp3 player, so cool, and its NOT APPLE ^_^

Anyway got stuff to do, later,

Andrew.

God-Damn! Its been a long-freaking-time! Over 4 months... crap... that's twisted

I'm really sorry, but its been a few really crappy months, no joke. I've felt really bad a lot of the time, just general depression, there have been some major family problems and personal issues.

With any luck things will start getting back to normal with me.

A lot of other things have happened over the last few months as well, I just don't know where to start really. Oh well I'll try and update more often.

Later,

Andrew.

... between updates I know, I do know, I've been very busy. Want to hear about it? Sure you do ;-D

Well I started playing a game called Anarchy Online, its a massive online game, and very addictive, but I haven't let it take over my life :-D or play it more then an hour or so a day, unlike someone people *cough* hehe, I recommend it, you can do a free 7 day trial, you've got to download the install files though, so 1.3GB is a bit of an ouch, but hey I'm on unlimited.

Yeah I finally got connected to DART, it took AGES! Turned out Telstra made it worse by having my line ready on the Sunday, and I only find out about it on the Friday (I signed up with DART on Jan 4, got connected on Jan 16) after wondering WTF was going on and ringing. Nightmare I tell you, but oh well, so far the service has been wonderful.

I've got my first PHP script posted for download on HotScripts.com tonight, nice little dir indexer I worked on in my spare time, I like it :-D, check it out if you are interested.

Also been working on another website, games500, a local games store, almost finished with it.

mmmm whatelse? Oh yeah I got my new monitor on Friday hehe. Want to see? Yeah you do. Very sweet monitor as well, only (only, heh yeah right) set me back $630. Mine is White with Red Trim, I was worried it would be fugly, but I actually really like it.

Well I better get to bed I've got an early morning.

Just felt the need to let you all know ;-) Had it since Friday and man does the modchip make it so much better or what, I love it, great little media player :-)

Other minor news, still on dildo (dodo) dialup as my DSL isn't back yet... GRRRRR! Damn Telstra, Well Damn Veridas actually, they screwed around with the ADSL churn system in the last week so I gather Telstra and everyone is trying to fix Verisdas' fuckup and I'm getting delayed thanks to them... SUCK!

Well its tea-time, later!

Hip Hip I posted! I suck I know, I know. This is going to be a long one, I know i need to fill in on 2 eventful months almost.

Well where to start... I have NFI really, lets just deal with some stuff I brought up in my last update all the way back in November, our cars are still screwed, but we have a new one, a nice one as well. Unfortunately we have to wait until February for the *tard to go to court until we can do anything as he hasn't been back to deal with us since he visited last time.

Other news, I'm on dialup at the moment, I finally after 20 months of dealing with the shit Datafast and later on EFTel through at me on their ADSL service (the slower then dialup speeds on their service for the last half of December for example was not what I was paying $130 a month for) had enough and gave up waiting for them to do what everyone else did 6 fricken' months ago and implement FAST CHURN so I just d/c'ed (on News Years Eve of all days), I'm currently waiting for DART to connect me to their network, which does support FAST CHURN, so if something goes wrong, which I hope it doesn't, it will be a lot less costly in both money and hassle to get onto a new ISP. But DART do look very good and so far my dealings with them have been great.

I have an XBOX now (I know total non sequitur, but hey its me), funny story on how I got it, Roger rings me up at 2:30pm on a Sunday saying that K-Mart are having a sale of the XBOX Beast Pack, some big discount, so I get on the phone to Gordon's mobile and get in touch with Nana and Tootsie and see if they can drive me over to Mt. Gambia, which they were, but you see KMART close at 5pm SA time (which is 30mins behind us), so we got in the car and drove the 110kms their, freaking as it got to 5pm our time and we were still 25kms away :? and I had rang up and practically begged them to hold me one (and they didn't want to, but hey I'm charming ;-)) anyway Tootsie dropped his foot and got us there, Gordon and I bolted in and got there with a grand total of 30 seconds to spare, they almost wouldn't let us in KMART (until the woman saw the look I gave her), so yeah I have an XBOX, well actually I don't, Roger has it, he is getting it modded for me, he got his 2nd hand one done before XMAS and let me tell you, Modchips rock, I'm so looking forward to it =)

mmmmmmmm....

Oh yeah Christmas, I hate it, always get depressed and want to cry :-( But considering some years I've had this one wasn't so bad, didn't get much in the way of gifts but as i get older I find it doesn't really matter as much, I did get Roger a nice boxset of Firefly DVDs for Chritsmas, oh and I got myself a set at the same time, bloody hell Amazon charge a fortune for international express post, but it was worth it to see the look on his face when I gave them to him =) Got the family verious gifts as well.

New Years was a blast, I got sooooooooo trashed, Vodka is eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil I tell you.

Anyway breakie time, guess it didn't take much to compress 2 months did it :P

Andrew.
