2002, A Whole new toy
First, I am now back from wales. At which beer and very good whiskey was drunk, as was Bailey's. I was vommish with Lonecat, which was fun. We watched DVDs, played Playstation Games.
We had fun, and this was Good. The perfect end to an extreme year.
The ways it's been extreme I will leave for another date. Extremely nice, and extremly crap, often on the same day.
But, in other news, Aquarionics.com is two today. So grab some cake, and join the party. I'll write a better r

I've been trying to write a review of the year, but it seems self obsessive and depressing, so I shall summerise:
January: Fucked Up Uni. Depressed. AFPMeets, begining of the Great Aquarionics Host Saga. Oh, and Happy Birthday

Just got back from a meet. Nothing really major happened, as far as I was concerned. Went to the pub, was vommish with Lonecat, Hugged, was hugged, crashed at Barry's, Watched Blazing Saddles, Slept, ate breakfast, talked, watched Lord Of The Rings, went home.
And then the aftermath :-)
Okay, First, LOTR. LOTR is a Good Film. (Here be spoilers for the film, all spoilers are in (Brackets) and are coloured white. To see them, highlight them. They cut out bits I'd have left in (

On the stairs outside my room was a box.
Not a wrapped up box all tied up with string.
Nor a white box, clean of all markings.
No, This was an Amazon box, and that means BuffyIn a previous episode I ordered the Buffy Season Three box set. After a cafaffle about credit-cards, stock, and OtherStuff(™) The box finally arrived upon my doorstep. And I opened it. And verily d

11/Jan/2002 14:09 — AquarionicsGirlfriend in a Coma
At half past 11, I logged off IRC, posted the next part of the AFPantomime, and decided to go to bed. As I got up, my eye was caught by the book that arrived this morning, Douglas Coupland's "Girlfriend in a Coma""Ahh, yes" I thought, "I'll start that"
So I started that, and was immediatly catapulted into the world of Jare, Richard, Kare and the rest of the people who make up the circle of friends the book follows.
And three hours later, I finish it.
Totally, complet

I am about to lose my temper.
This doesn't happen often, and I have a tendancy to hurt people when it does. Me, mainly. Like having to work *really* hard to stop myself from punching a hole in the monitor.
I will not let this die, and I will not let one person take over it.
I was supposed to be writing, now. I'm going away to watch cartoons or something
Later. Watched Buffy. Calmed down. *sigh* Apologised for over reacting...

14/Jan/2002 14:58 — AquarionicsThis means nothing to you
But I've now got all my admin stuff for Aquarionics finished. So I can reply to messages by email, delete messages, and *finally* read messages marked "Personal" Ain't that Neatocool?
Now I can get rid of the old design from the server completly
As I say, this means nothing to you, but makes my life a bit nicer.

On the first day, Which was Sunday, there was stuff happening, and I read Girlfriend in a Coma (This was recently misspelt in this very entry as Girlfriend in a Comma, which would have made her *very small*.
On the second day, which was a Monday, Nothing happened, and I failed to get anything done.
On the third day, which was a Tuesday, I got up early, drank tea, went to the post office, returned library books, visited the office, promised the finish of a web-design by 9am next

17/Jan/2002 19:42 — AquarionicsOn Writing
A mini-essay, while I'm away on holiday in Bath.
This is an extension of something I did for my Opendiary a year or so back. I tend to fail essays, my writing style gets in the way of anything I ever say being taken seriously. This is something I really should work on, attempt to take three steps back from the argument and present it as a flat argument, bereft of life, or whatever it is that appears to make people actually read what I write. And here we reach the point, because a poin

sometimes i really like your weblog and sometimes i don't. you're kind of like, "boo hoo. girls." but then again, you have a messy haircut. and then, sometimes, you're all, "i like soul coughing. wee!" and then you'll go on to say things like "heart" and "salsa" and "talking".

Back.
Shortly (as in, 15 minutes) after the last entry, I left for the sunny environs of Cambridge, where I was late. The fact that I was half a hour late for my own Birthday party should not in any way be seen as anything to do with my general organisational skills, although the fact I manageed to pick the only day when the pub I selected had a live band on could be.
I'm currently sesting my touchtyping skills by typing this while watching lonecat sleep in the bed just a few short [More...]

Okay, an update, *deep breath*
I've done nothing
Well, Not /strictly/ true. I've almost finished the Story Archive site known as Project Albatross, (Just the rating system and the user editing system to go, fact fans) and I've spent most of the day in converence with people (Well, person) over how to set out a CV. My CV is currently 4 pages, which isn't good, so it looks like some creative formatting
