Well, it’s been confirmed, i’ve bought the parts :S.

Cam found this, funky little program, that i think is quite cool, so i installed it here. Still no clue, what parts i’m getting, and my credit card will be back with me later this morning. I’m tired, stressed, but tonight is my first study night at the library with iolo, so i hope i get loadsa shit done. Right best be off.

Well I thought id better blogg, while im still in the habbit, nothing much to say though, i’m tired, slightly drunk, and can’t be arsed. But i blogged, stressed perticulary about need to order parts tommorow, but not sure which ones :S.

Damn can’t believe how drunk i was, the stress of the maths and everything is really getting on top of me.

I can’t believe i didn’t blogg yesterday, i mean, i was doing so well, I know it’s going to take some time to get back into the always blogging thing, but yesterday was different, i was on a mission. Where did i leave you, oh well yer, Sunday. Steph and I went down the bay, was ok some crap music and bad boy kids, about the place, heard that “Blazing Squad” going on, so after walking around the picturesque elements of the bay with Steph, we made a sharp exit, and went for a pint, before retiring home again about 6pm.

Then we retired for what was going to be an afternoon nap, to be disturbed, by my landlady, and realisation that it was in fact 8pm. I also woke, to what can only be described as my head trying to explode, it was the mother of all migraines, and decided to sleep it off, and therefore got up early yesterday morning (7am). Woke up more than refreshes/motivated, made a huge todo list of work tasks to do, and home/real life tasks. Did most of them yesterday, well a good enough percentage for me. Slowed down with everything in the afternoon, Gareth came down to look at my bike. Him and his brother came round, which was nice. Was nice to have guests like, plus they came baring gifts, ie. Signed copy of the new phonics album, and one of them programmable plug things. Gaz looked over the damage, and seemed happy to help me get it all sorted, which is nice as fuck . Was nice to have guests though, hehe dunno felt great, then played CS all night, damn that fucking superhero mod.

Finished off the tidy bedroom later, Steph came home, we watched spooks, and that’s about it. Gareth sent me this text file:

I can fit all of the above, with out any problems.

the pedals you will notice are more expensive from wiggle, but as soon as chain reaction is back up i will re-write threcommend

i recomend all the above.

Only thing missing, was the new bit of cable im going to need, for the rear mech, and the fact i really want to get the stuff from chainreactions. Also got to wait for my Gold credit card to come home from mam, where she’s keeping it safe.

Getting worried about OU, got a lot of work to put in before it goes too far, but am too scared for a day off work, stupid as it sounds, unless its for holidays, i do have a problem asking for time off. I know if i had official time off for study, I would go to library in town etc. Must try and get some time off anyways, or i’m going to totally fuck up this course.

Best be off work to be done.

Thought I’d blogg, the list of bits I’m getting for my bike so far:

This is of course, not taking into acount the cost of the chain, which i have no clue as to which one to get, to be of as good quality as the one, i had, and also to actually fit my bike/cassette. It also presumes, i can get the maguras installed myself, or with friends, and not go to an external place to get them installed. Also there maybe a problem with the derailer hanger or something, so I’m informed, which cause more than a problem. Pretty worried about it all to be honest, bikes fucked, but no-one to help me, well not enough as i need. I’m dull as fuck with hardware, which is why it’s got into this mess.

Just looking at the opening times, of the library. Ready to study for my degree exams, contemplating taking off a day from work every fortnight or so, to catch up, and taking a week off leading up to the exams. Really stressed about a) asking and b) the fucking exams.

Got to the caravan by bus yesterday, was ace though besides the fact it took like hours, because i bought me a copy of the guardian. I love it when I’m traveling, to get myself a Saturday Guardian, or Sunday Observer, and read the whole tree cover to cover (obviously skipping chaff), feel refreshed .

Got my bike back, didn’t stay at the caravan very long. Then all i seemed to do for the whole of fucking yesterday, was play superhero mod for cs. Fucked myself off with that. When Steph Got home, i took off the broken parts from my bike, ready for new parts (bit worried about one non broken part :/), put it together, and then covered her up, in her new raincoat.

Made Steph and I some munch, and we watched some Donnie Darko, which was cool.

Today after a bit of a lie in, we’re going to go down the bay, for a look around, before coming back sorting out me house, top to bottom, and sort out a real effective study plan, that i can work towards for operation pay credit. By the way, paid all the money to my mother after, which means week one of the operation is going well.

Ok ok, so no sooner have i started to blog regulary again, and I’ve already skipped a day, well this shit is going to take some time, as I’m sure you can appreciate, to get back into. That said, I’m feeling good about blogging today, which i suppose is a good thing.

Yesterday, worked really well in the morning, began to slow up in the evening, but not too shabby all round. Steph and I, when she finally got back from her Friday chores, spent the night in, watching telly and drinking, which was nice. My mother also came over to get my rent, to pay into my bank, before i spent a penny, but Boardy didn’t come home to give it to me. He came home late last night, he’d been out on the lash, which isn’t so bad, cause at least i couldn’t spend the money, however i am waiting for him to give it to me now this morning.

I’m up so early this morning, cause after breaking my bike, it’s till at my folks caravan, so I’m getting on the bus, to go to there, to dismantle what’s left of the bike, to put it in their car, and bring it here, to repair (last thing I’m spending moneys on). I am waiting for Boardy to give me my rent, but thinking now about it, I could just go, and get it when i come back with the bike, and give it to me Mam then. Problem is, if there is no rent when I get back, I have a problem.

Finally got round to nuking the HDD of my laptop, ready for a format, and reinstall, but not sure weather i want, to actually claim for a new one, or limp through using it for another 6 months or so. Working in my bedroom, is really beginning to get to me, as in the lack of change of scenery, and differential between, workplace, and sleep/relax place. Still unsure, but hey, at least I’m doing something with the laptop which is long overdue, don’t think I’ve touched the slag in like 2 months or something, which is a bit fucking stupid.

I just about scraped through block C of my Maths course, which is actually quite good, because of the stress that was going through my life at that time, i didn’t expect to pass at all, so all is not lost, and as well as getting my bike, back and beginning to sort her out, i will be sorting whole house out, and sorting out study of block D, if not even getting a bit of work done at some stage.

Well that’s me, and hopefully a nice fill in blogg, for those of you that haven’t left the readership. Have a good weekend.

Reason got a forbidden error yesterday, was I renamed index.php cause I was bucked off that my URL had been given out to fucking people in a public work channel. So made it look like fuck all was there for five. Rage or something seems to be setting in, which is odd, cause this morning, I was so motivated and stuff. Don’t know weather it’s cause I’m not smoking or whatever, but it’s ticking me off this constant fucking not in my stomach, like I’m worried about something.

Operation pay off credit started this morning, and I’m already contemplating buying stuff off eBay, really need to stop the eBay addiction, not going to be helpful, nor constructive, in these barron no money times.

It always fucking happens to me, when i put a first blog in a while in, with a big speech, my web always fucks off. Grr, well basically the blogg should be back in town, now that I’ve finally got my desktop sorted for it, although I’m still stressed, but there is light at the end of the tunnels.

It might however take some time, to get into the full flow of things, cause I’ve really forgotten how to blogg :/

Just testing some work a sec
