<p>Pretty much sums up my feelings on the weather we&#8217;ve been having up here. I like it when it&#8217;s hot. But not <em>too</em> hot.</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;m 19 next Friday. Woo. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_smile.png' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So much for a return to regular posting, eh? And that&#8217;s still unlikely to happen, now that the summer&#8217;s here and I&#8217;ll be off getting drunk and doing whatever the cool kids do during summer.</p>
<p>Really don&#8217;t know what else to say. Guess I&#8217;m going through a rather stagnant stage of life at the moment. It&#8217;s mostly just work, work, work,work, with &#8220;drink&#8221; occasionally interspersed amongst it all. And not to say that&#8217;s a particularly bad thing. It&#8217;s just&#8230; lacking in variety. Although, I am going to London with my folks for a week in July. Should be a hoot.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m off to try and drag some friends out to the pub. It&#8217;s been about a week since I&#8217;ve been! For shame!</p>

Can&#8217;t say I have.</p>
<p><strong>14. What is your favourite colour shirt to wear?</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t know really.  I tend to go for bright colours.  Yellow and purple are hot contenders.</p>

The Departed. In HD. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_grin.png' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Not just anyone.</p>
<p><strong>33. Honestly, if you could go back 1 month and change something would you?</strong><br />
No, nothing has really happened to me in the past month that&#8217;s really worth changing.</p>
<p><strong>34. How do you feel about girls smoking?</strong><br />
Meh. If I&#8217;m going to be kissing the aforementioned girls, I&#8217;d prefer it if they didn&#8217;t (srsly tastes bad guise), but I could live with it.</p>
<p><strong>34. Could you see yourself with someone forever?</strong><br />
Not at the moment, no.</p>
<p><strong>35. What was the first thing you thought when you woke up?</strong><br />

<p><strong>57. Are you a jealous person?</strong><br />
I can be.</p>
<p><strong>58. Does it take a lot to make you cry?</strong><br />
Usually, yeah.  Unless someone knows how to well and truly fuck with my mind, people are unlikely to ever see me cry.</p>
<p>Unless I got REALLY drunk and cried. Which I have done once.</p>

Generally, no.</p>
<p><strong>80. Were you happy when you woke up today?</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not a whole lot going on for me at the moment. Went out drinking a couple of times with some people from work. One of those times resulted in me having to break up a fight between a friend of mine and another guy (who&#8217;s an absolute cock by the way; I&#8217;ve known him for years). But apart from that minor hiccup, good times all round. I get paid next week and another work-friend is planning a big house party. Should be a larf. </p>
<p>But yeah, that&#8217;s about the only things that could even laughably be considered as developments in my life. I&#8217;ve just been working, and playing quite a bit of Halo 3. I finally managed to get my max skill level up to 10 (out of 50). I suck. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_unhappy.png' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Also, if you&#8217;re into music, I highly recommend listening to <em>The Soft Bulletin</em> by The Flaming Lips. It is a truly wonderful album, like having rainbows orgasmed into your ears. I&#8217;ve been listening to it pretty much non-stop for the past couple of days.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also spent the past few days reading through <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net">Questionable Content</a> in its entirety. I also recommend you do the same. It&#8217;s a highly enjoyable slice-of-life web comic, and it&#8217;s very interesting to see how the story, characters and art have changed over the years. </p>
<p>Anyway, ciao for now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so here it is, an actual, proper, real post for the first time in about three months. I can only apologise. I really don&#8217;t know why I haven&#8217;t been posting. Maybe I haven&#8217;t really had anything to post about (but then again, do I ever?), or perhaps I just forgot because I was too busy with other things? Well, that&#8217;s bullshit. All I&#8217;ve been doing is working, going to college, playing video games and occasionally going out drinking with friends/workmates. As per always.</p>
<p>My college course is nearing to a close. I believe June the fifth is my last day. Hopefully I&#8217;ll be okay. There&#8217;s been a few things I&#8217;ve been struggling with for the past few weeks, but I haven&#8217;t let them get on top of me, so I should be fine. Hopefully. And that said, I&#8217;m not sure as to what I&#8217;m wanting to do when I&#8217;m done with the course. I seem to be swaying towards just taking a year off to work and get some money, perhaps applying to university the year after. It&#8217;s also the option I&#8217;m most comfortable with, since I don&#8217;t seem to be quite ready to leave my hometown yet. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_unhappy.png' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Work at the Co-Op is going great. Since I&#8217;ve now been there for about five months, I&#8217;ve made a handful of really good friends, who I now seem to be going out on the piss with on a semi-regular basis (I&#8217;m even going out tomorrow night to celebrate one&#8217;s birthday, and did the same thing last Friday). So things are nice. We even got our new uniforms to replace the horrible, early-90s style ones we had. I don&#8217;t feel like quite so much of a twat now when I wear it. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_tongue.png' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m also trying to get a new layout for the site done as well, since we&#8217;ve had this since the middle of November. I&#8217;ve got one that&#8217;s just about there. It just seems to be missing&#8230; something. Hopefully I&#8217;ll be completely happy with it soon, and I&#8217;ll be able to get it up. This one will also have a colour changer. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_smile.png' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s me for now. I&#8217;ll try my best to keep new posts appearing frequently.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I again apologise for the fact I barely blogged in the last month (over three weeks since my last real post), but I guess I&#8217;m currently going through one of those drought periods of blogging that have plagued me in the past. It&#8217;s usually at this point I end up completely forgetting about my blog and shutting it down. But I&#8217;m determined not to do that.</p>
<p>Anyway, on to what I want to talk about: I&#8217;m a fairly regular user of Bebo (the social networking system, for those not aware), although not as much as I once was, for reasons I shall explain.</p>
<p>The &#8220;remember me&#8221; option when you log in to Bebo only last for two weeks, and when I went over to the site after work today, I had to log in. Upon doing so, I see this:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-137" src="http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/beboneedstofixthis.jpg" alt="" width="604" height="1163" /></p>
<p>Argh. This is one of the many reasons why Bebo has turned to complete shit. First off, it was the themes, and the ability for members to create their own. This leads to most people&#8217;s pages turning into something reminiscent of the average MySpace page: my eyes being raped. But, I found a decent theme that was easy on the eyes, add did most of my (good) friends, so it was too much trouble. Then the applications came. So, now, once your eyes are being fucked by horrible design and colour combinations, you get the added enjoyment of having 200-foot long pages filed to the brim with &#8220;super-comments&#8221;, &#8220;countdown to my birthday&#8221;, &#8220;what kind of kisser are you?&#8221;, &#8220;which celebrity are you most likely to butt-fuck&#8221;, etc, etc. Argh.</p>
<p>But, I still stuck with it, since the majority of my friends have Bebo and not Facebook (mostly for the lack of themes or something similar). But not, this is getting ridiculous. The spam is no longer tolerable. Sure, at first it was a little funny, in a weird kind of way, getting a friend request from a &#8220;porn model&#8221;, or a private message from someone who thinks I&#8217;m &#8220;cute and wud lyk to get to kno me heres my msn addy kthxbi&#8221;. But now, I&#8217;m getting a good few of these friend requests a week, and a private message at least once a day. I&#8217;m just about ready to ditch Bebo completely.</p>
<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s all from me for now. I&#8217;ll try and write a decent post sometime when I&#8217;m not working my ass off or two busy playing with my friends on Xbox Live,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, it&#8217;s been a whole week since I blogged last. I apologise for that. I&#8217;ve been a little busy lately, what with work and being back at college. And Xbox playing. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_tongue.png' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>College should be interesting from here on in: our assessment for Multimedia Development is to create a website for the on-campus restaurant. I don&#8217;t know the full details, since I wasn&#8217;t there when it was given out, so I don&#8217;t know any specific requirements, other than the fact (I think) it has to have some user interactivity. Will be interesting to see what I (and everyone else) will come up with. And I&#8217;ll put it online to show you as well. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_smile.png' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Work is going well. I got my first paycheck on Hogmany as well, which was great, so I&#8217;ve managed to buy myself a few Xbox games to keep me occupied. I&#8217;ll need to go out and buy some clothes and shoes as well, since I desperately need them.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m going to cut this a bit short. I just finished a four hour shift at work, and I&#8217;m just about to go and start another one. Wonderful. I was planning on going to the pub tonight. <img src='http://www.awsum.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Silk/emoticon_unhappy.png' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
