PARENTS
I'm alive, and I'm sorry I took so long to get in touch with you. The phone number I got from Ashley wasn't working, and I was unable to find the mobile phone dealer that was here before. So, no luck there. I'll email you or call you when I have a better connection; I'm only able to get online for an hour before I have to pay another $5.

ASHLEY
Sorry I took so long. No luck getting the SIM card, we'll have to take care of it at a Mall or something. I'm wearing all black (t-shirt with white bands on waistline/arm, dark washed jeans, trainers, zip-up hoodie), and I'll be carrying three bags; one all black, two black and tan. I'll head straight to the arrivals exit and wait for you there.

I know it's been a while since I last posted in this journal outside of it being locked to most people, and the excessive amount of twitter updates, so I'll be brief.

First off, I'll be turning off the LoudTwitter stuff. You know there's a problem with the service when your journal is nothing but a load of tweets that people don't necessarily want to read. So I'll be turning those off when I get back home from work today. Also, my website is just about due a full refit. It's a month ahead of schedule, but considering that I'll be on holiday when the time does roll around, I have no problem in getting it done early. If you noticed any downtime on my blog, I apologise, as that was just a time to test it all, and it was done in the time when I usually get the least amount of hits (I'm sure I get the most amount of hits when everyone's quality bar has gone down wayyy much. 8]). So that upgrade will be done between now and Tuesday, although the site will go down again when it happens, because I still have a few modules to put in place, that I haven't gotten ready in notepad in code yet.

Speaking of the holiday, just about everything is set. A couple of callcentre representatives have fast-tracked a couple of my orders so they will arrive in time for them to be useful, and I need to make sure that I call up when I get them, and thank them for it. After all that's happened these last few days, I really need everything to go off without a hitch. I may not be in trouble because of it, but I still feel like I have got a lot to prove to Ashley after what happened.

Also, it feels weird to have a watch on my wrist after all this time of not having one on at all. My wrist feels wayy heavier, which is kinda weird.

• 12:02 @tsukiyashi What series? What digivice did they have? #
• 12:08 The site upgrade should be done this week. Got a bit of code to manipulate on the core files. #
• 14:06 @atheistium I hope you're enjoying your gift. I'll let the sinister, testosterone-infested responses flow. #
• 14:43 @JenJeaHaly My my, you are a busy girl. #
• 15:05 @JenJeaHaly I've gotta get up early tomorrow for work, so don't feel so bad. Any word on the venue you're going to for EGExpo yet? #

• 11:12 @SEGA You should try to find some of your retro stuff: Mega Drive, Saturn, Master System & games etc for #FreeStuffFriday : D #
• 12:59 Just finished my first HD video. Not bad considering. Pity I require two computers to do it, though. #
• 14:14 @SEGA We learned from the American free-fridays. #
• 14:18 @SEGA The US giveaways were sometimes US-specific. Give us limey-only merch. <3 #
• 15:42 @SEGA Actually, yeah I did. Who did the makeup on it to match? Or was it shopped? #
• 20:54 @trillianastra You know, you've looked after me with 3.1, you've accepted me into the BETA program. Have my $25 and Pro me up. : D #
• 22:16 I don't know how @atheistium can do this. I want to shoot myself after configuring just one article for StudioPress themes. #

• 14:19 Am I the only one that's a tad offended at Codemasters still using the late Colin McRae's name in their titles? #
• 14:25 @CrAppleton A tribute would've been the re-release of the Colin McRae Rally games. If I remember, he had already died when DiRT2 was ann'ce #
• 15:00 @atheistium Not me. #
• 15:36 @Dagbar You should make that into an icon maker. xD #

• 17:31 Wow. Even after splurging nearly £200 on stuff for my hols, I'm STILL better off than I should be. #

• 03:36 @Suprcharger5150 I don't get it. What does make me laugh, is you pretending to be the Biker in the Village People. Better Song, YMCA wouldbe #
• 09:25 @SexyVexy You'll have to find a mall that sells it, first. And you've got about a week to do so. xD #
