I hate ADSL
Feb. 4th, 2003 10:52 amActually, I'll probably love it...if I can ever get it up and running. For some reason every computer in the network refuses to communicate with the router. This is the extent of my knowledge. The grey box with the cables and stuff doesn't do anything, just sits there like a dead wombat. Hardware I have no problem with, software I'm a little stickier on, but we seem to have gone through this enough times without actually getting anywhere. Rather irritating.
Chasing up friends about the planned holiday to the US. Paul (one of my college house mates and one of my best friends) appears to have done a vanishing trick off the face of the earth. Again. This has me on edge since last time he did that he eventually resurfaced having had a breakdown of sorts. He was fine last time I saw him, but that's a little while ago now. Although I had a Christmas card and he also seemed fine. But now I'm all antsy because he hasn't texted or emailed any of my friends or myself. will have to just call the bugger and make sure he's okay I suppose. He's probably just doing one of the usually six month lack of contact things that we all go through. The great ability to pick things up without a flicker from where we left off is one of the things I'm grateful for, seeing as we don't get to see each other as often as I, or my other ex-housemates, would like.
Actually thinking it was New Year when I last actually went out anywhere interesting with friends. Besides the odd lunch here and there it's been hard to track people down in this neck of the woods too. I've reached that age where all of my friends are settling down and us poor old singletons are getting left behind. Oh to be young again or at least have a girlfriend on the same continent. ;)
Actually, I'm more than happy with that relationship just now, it's just in terms of being a bit lonely I'm bothered I guess. I have plenty of friends, just not that many close. My own fault for living in the back of beyond I suppose. Actually, will try and arrange lunch with Andy, Mandy and Selina, see if we can get together one evening and do something. Apparently there's a meal planned round Selina's place sometime soon anyway. Should be good, I have yet to scope her pad.
Oh yeah, I got nominated for some XETties, the X-men: End Times equivilent to the Oscars, which in a way is extremely sad, but in another quite gratifying to be nominated for. Although I was a bit surprised -what- I was nominated for, both in terms of scenes (half of which I couldn't even remember) and because I didn't get a nomination for Angstiest Scene. I worked hard for that dammit! Hmm, didn't sneak in Best Newcomer either (probably because I was approved before the last XETtie ceremony, if not the nominations) but did get one for Best Male for a scene I'd competely forgotten.
For those who don't have a clue what I'm on about, the link is..well...
here.
