A plea

Posted 13.05.2006 8 1943

Okay, I have a begging to do. Here is my tale.

I am a massive footy fan and moderated on a footy forum for a while. I took over the scottish section, turned it around and rapidly established myself as the best mod on there. However lately there's been a few problems that I was angry at.

The owner added rss news feeds everywhere cluttering the forum up, he added a porn feed, he unbanned members and generally started fecking the forum up. We then got a new skin and wanted a new banner to accompany it. Every comment I made, every suggestion, every question was ignored by the boss.
I was then asked if I was upset at anything by one of the admins, I listed the things I had problems with. And noted that I felt the mods were being ignored and that the owner was making too many changes without asking the staff for their views.
I was sacked for expressing my views. The C-word. I left the site with a heavy heart as I actually like the place.

Now I have a chance for revenge. They are doing an anonymous banner competition for the new skin and a members vote on it. Problem is that the boss is manufacturing this. He has one made by a mate and will put that forward. He has talked to other members not to put one forward so that it's an unnopposed vote. A friend on the site recommended that I make one, and if it gets accepted I'll have had a mark left on the site and will screw the boss over.

Problem, my graphics skills are in no way good enough. I tried but it looks too amateurish. I can make icons, sigs, avys but banners are still a step up. So I beg of you, will someone make a kick ass world cup banner to help me screw him over. The skin is blue and the forum is called ukfootballforums. The size would be max 1020 x 200.

A few shiny stars for anyoen who wants to help me and my never ending admiration.

Now Playing: Fifa World Cup Germany 2006 (DS) unfortunately
Now Listening to: The Due South Theme tune!!!

Just in from being out (obviously) and am pretty sleepy but unbelievably happy.

First up it's sunny and lovely warm. My face is losing that ghostly pale and is now settling into a normal pale. Hopefully a bit more sunshine and I'l graduate to "is that dirt?" and finally into tan.

Secondly Scotland won 5-1. I can't remember the last time we won so comprehensively. Great stuff.

Finally I got the result from my exam today and I got a B. So effing happy.

Oh and Smash Bros...snaaakkkee. w00t.

Peace out.

Ants, Mice, Posh and Laptops

Posted 10.05.2006 12 2034

Now Playing: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Second Play through, love this game. I want to marry Eva)
Now Listening to: Sigur Ross: Milano (AMAZING)
Now Watching: Fuck all, TV is shite.

First up huzzah! I ordered a backup universal charger for my laptop and it arrived today. I'll be a-posting tonight, if only it'd come yesterday. I could've stayed and helped out a bit longer with E3.
Anyway, yesterday. Best attack it from a logical point of view.

Had college in the afternoon, went in to find my lecturer person hadn't shown up AGAIN. Ugh. So stuck around for ten minutes, checked my email, gave some stars (you lucky devils) and then went out. Outside the building something caught my eye. A tiny field mouse, which was terrified. I knelt next to it and gave it a crisp, which it ate. A girl then walked by and asked if I was okay. Alerting her to the mous she knelt down also. So we tempted it onto a nearby biece of cardboard and lifted it into some bushes... where there have been mouse sitings. The mouse ran off and sat for a bit, squeeked than ran into a wee hole in the bushed. Karma get!

I then wandered out to wait for my lift home, and when waiting in the glorious sunshine I saw an ant running up my shirt. Carefully putting it on the ground I then felt sorry for the little guy, so put a tiny bit of my Mars Delight on the ground. The ant ran onto it, stood there for a bti then ran off. I waited about 4 minutes. I looked down and about 30 ants were marching towards it. They carried it off and into a hole in the ground. Pikmin get!

Still waiting and this fuck off nice car drew up. Big black merc, tinted windows, really shiny. The window rolled down and this guy was sitting in the passenger seat wearing a NICE suit. I mean NIIICCEE suit. He beckoned me over saying "excuse me" in the poshest voice ever!

"Can I help you?"

"Yes I was wondering if this road takes me into Bothwell"

This was all spat out in a pseudo army officer R.P voice. I directed him the way he wanted to go then he signed off in a bizzare.

"Thankyou old chap! Much obliged"

Old chap?! I'm 19 Git.

Anyways, you may have noticed it's E3 at the mo and last night was INSANE. Nothing is scarier than sitting in an msn room with people alledgedly getting too excited about RPG's, Sonic Games and Mario Galaxy. Even scarier is when you finish watching the conference and you get a message asking if you've stopped creaming yet.
Well I hadn't, because I was very impressed. The games showed that wii isn't just a gimmick but is a valid console with real games (Metroid, RE, disaster...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm) and the DS looks great aswell. Starfox online, my life is complete. And it totally pissed all over that boring Sony conference. I staye dup to watch that and gave in when they were dry humping HD menus. Who...the....fuck...CARES.

Oh and I'm available for Tetris and Metroid fun. Drop me a pm. I'm pish at metroid but am godlike at Tetris. Vikki can confirm this, as can James

Anyways, until next time.

Click for pic of woe

That's the charger for my laptop, and the git has broken a wire. So I now have to wait to send it away to get a replacement sent back as it's all still under warranty. So I'll miss E3 on my laptop and be restricted to getting on when I can because sis has work to do on the main PC But I will be on for E3 night to post news up. So that's something.

Now, do you remember the tale of righty, my right testicle and how my mobile antenna hurt it?

Click to see antenna of pain next to DS stylus for size comparison

Well I found a replacement!

Click for tiny antenna of testicular joy!

It's so small, doesn't hurt at all! And looks great on the phone. Couldn't be happier, maybe now I'll beable to have children!

Finally a pic of C3 on my pc monitor.

Clicky time!

And finally final a pic from my long weekend of my Auntie's cat.

Ciao Folks.

Women

Posted 27.04.2006 16 1949

I don't get women. I really don't. You all know that I recently fell for one of my best mates then backed out when I get a resounding knock back. Well recently we've been emailing eachother a great deal and having a great time, as mates do. She then mentioned how she was doing an essay but was 1,500 words over the word limit. I mentioned that it was a risk when you liked what you were writing about. The next day I dropped an email asking if she brought it down or if she was just handing it in and taking the hit to the marks. The email I got back was staggering. That I was being bossy and interfereing and that I should mind my own business. I replied that it was an innocent question and there was no need to lose her temper.
I then got a call, she really blew her lid. A massive argument, yet not really about anything. I seriously don't get women, or indeed her.

John out.

Mobiles, Ebay and gayness

Posted 25.04.2006 13 1975

Now Playing: Tetris DS
Now Listening to: The Arsenal game
Now Watching: The Arsenal game

Okay, so after my uber short entry yesterday I thought I'd inflict treat you to a longer entry.

So to start, my mobile is bugging me. You see, it is great. I love it. It's got a big screen, is 3G, has an sd card, good camera etc etc. And it's a slide phone, which I love.

Isn't it pretty... well not quite. Look at it when closed.

Look at that antenna! It's effing massive! And impractical. I shove my mobile in my pocket and sit down, the antenna jams itself into my right testicle and my chances of having a child goes down 12.32%. OUCH.
So I found a guyu who makes mini antenna's, I was overjoyed. But he hasn't been online in a month so it looks like little righty will get jabbed a few more times

Those of you reading my blogs regularly or who talk to me on msn will know that I bought a 3g 10gb Ipod last night. I am now terrified. No feedback left for me and no word... now I know that's normal for ebay but I am always terrified with big ebay purchases. Fuck knows what I'd do if i bought a car or a house over it...

Finally, in college on Tuesdays I have a 3 hour break between classes. So I frequent the union for rest and relaxation. Today I partook in talk about tonights match, playing Pro Evo, looking at a mates motorbike and playing pool. Whilst playing pool I spotted a guy eyeing me up. He then wandered over and... well... asked me out.
This doesn't bother me in that I'm not homophobic, I just find it odd that at the time when I seem to repulse 90% of females that I get approached by guys. Am I giving off a gay quality?

Anyways, must-a-dash. Ciao.

Dream

Posted 17.04.2006 24 1944

Fucking weird asses dream last night. I was in the house and it was sorta grey, overcast day. Then all of a sudden there was a huge rumble of thunder and I looked out and the sky was yellow with lighting rattling through. All of a sudden there was a roar that shook me off my feet, the sky then cracked and started falling to earth like chunks of concrete revealing the darkest of black behind it. Then when all the sky fell in I staggered outside and it was so dark. There were no clouds, no sun, no stars...just blackness.

Then I woke up. What the fuck was that about?!

Defeat

Posted 17.04.2006 4 1893

Now Playing: Hitman Contracts (EWwww, I just stabbed that guy!)
Now Listening to: The C3 podcast!
Now Watching: Nightingales DVD, obscure British comedy FTW!

Well, my love life is dead again. I concede defeat. Talked to her last night and there was fuck all in the way of chemistry so I give in. Can't wait around forever and I am once again painfully single and looking for anyone. I'm gutted, I love her to bits but waiting around isn't fair on me or her. So she's back to being "just a friend" and I'm back to being "pathetic"

Ack!

In other news I'm off to summer school in the summer (duh) so anyone in or around Glasgow in the summer drop me a line and we'll get together and scre... I mean have a nice time... ahem.

Ciao

Itch, annoy and general badness

Posted 15.04.2006 8 1937

Now Playing: Pikmin 2
Now Listening to: Snake Eater- MGS 3 theme

Don't ya hate this time of the year? I certainly do.

March/April/May is the time that Rangers like to actively hurt me. Today I was at the match and got so angry and slammed my fist against the seat. It was suprisingly robust, standing up to my punch and giving me the sorest knuckles ever. I then got hom and in getting changed inadvertedly pulled a single hair out of my arm. OW! Now have an unsightly red bump on my arm.

My jaw is also killing me. I grind my teeth at night, and the dentist got me a jaw splint to wear. Essentially a small gumshield that is made from reinforced plastic that stops me grinding. Well, recently I've been quite stressed (I'll go into that later) and I successfully managed to damage this splint.

Now... here is what it looked like before.

And here is what I did to it through grinding:

Yup, I ground through plastic and I'm pretty sure I swallowed some... ugh. So as a result I can't wear it and my jaw is killing me.

I'm grinding for two reasons, firstly it's the end of college and I have an exam coming up. I WILL pass it but it's still stressful.

Secondly is..well I have girl trouble (awwwww). Recently I found myself utterly taken with my best friend. It hit me like a brick wall, she is perfect. Problem is that I've fallen head first into the "friend zone". The friend zone (for those who don't know) is when you are so friendly with a female that she cannot see you in a different light. Hence why when I asked her out I got the staggeringly annoying (I just don't get a spark around you). ARGH!
Now, I'm in no way giving up as I think this is the real deal. But waiting is KILLING me and as we're both studying at the moment we're not in contact. What the hell should I do?! To top it all off I've started dreaming about her, one dream in particular was pretty rough on my part and made me really miss her. So now am apprehensive when going to sleep.

Yup, I have a touch of the crazies...

Edit: Oh and new heading thingy for the blog. Twisp FTW!
