i have decided to write a long entry.

today was an awful day.

like seriously.

after a long and rather uneventful day at school (whee returned back. but as mentioned. uneventful)

mel drove a couple of us back to my house, where we thought we'd engage in some very healthy guitar hero exercises. this included Guitar Hero II, III and Aerosmith.

it was meant to be AWESOME.

then.

i experienced it.

the infamously dreaded RED RING OF DEATH.

i was quite simply. heartbroken.

wtf were those 3 red quadrants blinking around my machine.

it meant that my xbox360 had beyond-self-help damage and was officially dead. "general hardware failure" they call it.

i swear.

i was disappointed. scared. sad. pissed off. confused. all at the same time.

(i was also a little amused because i have honestly never seen my xbox blink red before)

so i googled some help sites, all telling me to call the help line.

WTF. NO FUCKING WAY.

it needed to work, and it needed to work now.

so i fidgeted with it for ... forever.

then i found this

i was like. WHAT THE FUCK

if u can't be bothered to watch the video, is okay. i explain.

bascially, the guy wrapped his xbox360 in 4 towels for 20mins.

and then it worked.

wtf.

wtf.

wtf.

wtf.

the damage is supposed to be. unfixable.

UNFIXABLE.

seriously.

but what the hey. i'm a fucking hopeless romantic and it's the 17th of July, quite near a very magical date.

so i wrapped it up.

and.

what.

the.

fuck.

it. fucking. worked.

i swear i swear i swear.

2 towels and 15mins later

IT WAS UP AND RUNNING

OMG.

OMG.

OMG.

that my friends, is a miracle.

i am humbled by the magic of microsoft.

i quite literally did a towel dance right after it started working.

i swear every detail of this story is true (except perhaps today was slightly more eventful and school wasnt that sad)

if mel laughs, i will tell u a story about her driving.

the end.

i've actually been waiting to post up this awesome photo taken at the toy and games convention.

but my contact has been unable to locate the image.

when the object has been recovered i shall load it up.

the past few weeks have been un exciting.

i mean.

haahaha.

yeah.

i have indulged in many the after-work activities.

and then some.

i've had many choices to make.

soon i guess i will be forced to make them.

if all goes well i should be having a short break soon.

all in all. i have been enjoying my expiring youth.

i realised i never reallly got to.

so i need to make this last bit count.

swinging on trains. playing video games. running wild.

is all very fun.

meanwhile, am not very entertained by the lack of television. :(

i'm not dead.

there have been many occasions i have written out full entries and was about to hit publish.

but not so much.

havent had many photos to put up. so there's that little roadblock.

have a lot to say, but shall refrain from saying.

it's been a long long long year.

flames to dust.

its been a long week.

i say long, though not really long.

huh?

may was not a good month.

but.

oh well.

let it be (which would, btw, be an epic song for a battle scene)

this week i've had the chance to re-involve myself with the world of harry potter.

a continuation of what i had started during my days of boredom during work.

which brings me to my next dilema.

a supposedly happy saturday turned miserable, perhaps best embodied by the ominious rain.

there is a lot i should be happy about.

but oh well.

i wish there was a book that told one how to act 19.

becuase it really is such a weird age.

it's teenagey but adulty.

oh wells.

only a few things kept me afloat this week.

harypotter being one of them.

the other.

would be these.

for the second time ever, they have been taken out of their dust bag and put to good use.

i do believe if i didnt have these the night i wore them i would have plunged into wallowing self-pity.

lol.

thank you johnray.

here's to june.

always a transitory month. (people will be leaving soon!)

(p.s i have to leave the house now even though it's only 530, just to get to town by 7 because i have to take a bus. my parents left for paris and i am officially immobile. if only i had bothered to learn how to drive.)

I HAVE HAD THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE WEEKEND.

no seriously.

and i have a tooth extraction today.

and construction next day has woken me up.

i had like. 3hrs of sleep.

and i REALLY needed to sleep.

i hate this.

fuck this.
