Here’s my comment I tried to post to your MySpace blog post about having time to blog…

Indeed there is always time to blog, even if you don’t actually have time. Because you can blog really fast if you make a short post (which is the beauty of blogs, you can) and if you have something to talk about you will do it immediately and so even if you don’t actually have time, it’s not the blog that will get skipped or delayed :D.

Plus blogging is very important as us being students, if you don’t blog what we have done, we don’t have a chance of remembering it. This entire year has been a fuzy blur to me to which the only record of is my blog.

Predictably, here is the response MySpace’s server gave me…

Sorry! an unexpected error has occurred.

This error has been forwarded to MySpace’s technical group.

Seriously, an error with MySpace? Such a thing is unheard of.

Woo my server is still online. It’s worrying that, that has become a luxary. Also, I’m wondering why I arrived back to find that I no longer had the metal plate with my room number on my door. The screws were still in place, albeit badly so someone has obviously taken it off and put them back on again. They must have done it during the day though.

Anyway, title explaining time. I didn’t actually spent 10 hours in Quilted Llama technically. I also want to point out that I haven’t made a mispelling, llama is spelt with two l’s both when talking about the place and also the animal. Interesting fact of the day :p.

But yeah, Maths Chris was holding his Otley Run today which he had invited 50-60 people to. We were meeting in Woodies at 1 which myself and Maths Chris arrived on time for. Michelle also joined us. By the time an hour had passed, Kieran had also joined us. Good turn out :p. So we decided to skip the run and head to a cheap bar, I jumped at the chance to suggest Quilted Llama as I hadn’t been there in a week. We ended up staying there all night, on the top floor, playing a lot of pool. By about 10 there was only myself and Claire left and we ended up drinking at the bar after that right up until they closed at 12 at which point they said just go through to Halo so we ended up dancing to R n B for an hour before I walked Claire home and got the bus back to Bod.

Good night although when we were in Halo this random guy comes up to me and starts asking me what’s my problem with his girlfriend. I hadn’t actually noticed him before then and we couldn’t work out whether he actually had a girlfriend but after having a go at me and even having a go at Claire the bouncer threw him out. I should have done the “yeah you better run” after he got dragged off but oh well.

So yeah, we got to Quilted Llama about 3, spent 9 hours there, went through to Halo and spent another hour there so I didn’t leave the building for 10 hours. I think that’s quite cool :D. The drinks went up in price eventually but they were still £1.60 for a bottle which is still a kick ass price. Even more awesome I realised that next year I will be 5 minutes walk from the Quilted Llama :D.

My VPS has spent more time down than it has up over the past few days. I’m going to start pulling some accounts.

I got woken up a little after 3 am this morning by a phone call concerning the aforementioned movie. Really appreciated that. More annoying however I set my alarm at the wrong time somehow so it didn’t get me up at 10 as planned. Opps.

Yeeeeeesss! Yesterday Kieran blogged more than me. For one short day I was not the most obsessive blogger I knew. Of course now it’s probably going to slide back to normal, it’s not even 1 am and I am blogging. Although the only other chance I will probably get is after I get up but before I go into uni.

The reason behind that is because tonight we are all going to get nice and smashed at Sarann’s. Myself and Michelle went to Morrisons today and loaded up on vodka and vodka containing products and I’m taking my laptop and external hard drive round so we have access to the full array of my music collection. Add that to the invite policy bring “bring alcohol with you” and it’s going to be a fantabulus night.

Luckily the next time I have to be up after tomorrow night is Friday morning so even if we stay up all night tomorrow (or today rather, it’s past midnight although it would be past midnight then too so I’m unsure as to the correct term) I will still have 24 hours to sleep off whatever after effects it brings.

Of course beyond then and now we have our 4 hour SE15 lab exam to worry about. But I don’t really see that being much of a problem, I spent 15-30 minutes or so writing some empty base classes ready for the exam and I had a read through the mock paper too which looked refreshingly easy so I don’t think it will cause any problems and there is no way it’s going to take 4 hours so I think I will be done reasonably early.

So yeah, tomorrow’s plan is, get up, redo my nails, sort out my external hard drive, go to Sarann’s and drop stuff off, drop by student advice centre, do exam, go to The Terrace and begin drinking and the rest will just be a blur.

Wow, my server is still up, that’s quite nice. Anyway, this is going to be my final blog post of the day because today is the day that Kieran blogs more than me :D. For today only I won’t be the most obsessive blogger I know. So anything else I suddenly feel the need to blog about will have to wait until after midnight.

Went to Bondi last night. Via Fab Cafe. We met in there at 9 along with Janine, Dani and Oli who later went off to Fruit Cupboard while myself, Michelle, Sarann, Sophie, Claire, Fonze and John went to Bondi (B later joined us as well). There was also a large amount of people from my house there too.

Once in there I eventually managed to drag people onto the stage to dance though we didn’t stay overly long as it got crowded with other people on it. They also had a tweak in the playlist this week, I didn’t here Green Day’s Basketcase or Bloodhound Gang’s Bad Touch (though we might have missed that for reasons I will later discuss) and I had to go and request Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone. Still I actually got a request played though which is a mini-miracle in itself.

The night ended earlier than expected at 2:45 though when a bouncer led Michelle out of the club for being too drunk. Once he had her (and I followed) outside he explained that a staff member had pointed out she couldn’t keep herself on her chair and so they had to kick her out. I went back to grab our stuff and everyone else decided to leave at that time too. It was kind of crap in that we had to leave early because Bondi is so wicked but it’s quite amusing that Michelle out of all of us was the one that got us kicked out :D.

I’m really having problems with my VPS at the moment. It’s been down since I went out last night some time (well that was the last time I had it online, I don’t know when it went down) to just now when I’ve had support bring it back online. Actually they just killed a lot of processes, I brought it back online via SSH. But yeah, it’s screwed and it’s really not good I’ve probably lost a lot of mail, visitors and in the end, revenue which is really not good. It better not start affecting my adverting, I know it’s effecting my traffic. It really needs to get sorted out.

My VPS has been crashing pretty much hourly all day. This sucks, I need to get the load down.

Ok, this is just silly. This is the 5th blog post I have made today and I wanted to keep it minimal today as I didn’t want my recent post, Is my future in application development? to be pushed too far down as I was hoping that one would actually get read and I dared to dream of actually getting people’s thoughts on the subject.

But I’m annoyed and when I’m annoyed I blog. Ok, so it was like an hour ago and Co-op closes at 10:30 on a Sunday so I ran up there as fast as I could and managed to get there before it closed. Only to find they had completely sold out of microchips. Which is what I went there for. Oh well, at least I can drown my sorrows with alcohol. Or at least I could if they hadn’t stopped selling it. The reason? Because they only told it until it said 10:30 on the tills which run faster than the clocks! How BS is that?!?

I’m thinking of killing time with some World of Warcraft now, although I have major patches to download which is BS as well, I just want to go kill some stuff!

It’s coming! Not only have I found out recently that Lostprophets will be releasing a new album soon but the long, long awaited sequel to Billy Talent’s debut is due to be released on June 27th! And I just know it’s going to be good. Plus I’m sure they will play some of their new stuff at gig. I need to learn the lyrics asap when the album comes out so I can sing along to everything at the gig.
