Girl on phone: ...so that's where I'm living next year.
(pause, she listens)
Girl on phone: No, it's not far at all, like only about two roundabouts.
Typo fail.

The Dreaded Interview.

One week ago I received an email from this company, who make what is in honesty some very boring software (note to self, don’t let them get the URL of my Tumblr! Say I’m stereotyping, but I have this image in my head of this really boring, stuffy, suit-wearing...

I will miss you, DJ Ashval. Thankyou for making my late nights spent on an MMO much less lonely.
Textentrybox.
I’m working.
Honest.
I’ve written 11 lines today. And I spent more time now just counting them than I did writing them.
I’ve now written more words in this blog post than I have on my coursework today. And two of those were ‘huge tits’.
It is going well.
And now I can’t be bothered to write any more on here.
Later taters.
I hate medsuit noobs.

[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: Your pet holds aggro when you're out of mob's LoS
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [OverLordz] Mechafreak: los...man im stupid whats that mean? XD
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: Seriously if there's one thing that annoys me about this game it's people not knowing how to use their prof's toolset.
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: If you don't think you can level without an OST or a team then you're doing something wrong.
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [OverLordz] Mechafreak: yes ofc blame me for not knowing what to do on my first crat :3

[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: If you don't learn your toolset you won't get anywhere.
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [OverLordz] Crashforce: hmm yeah i guess all my toons can solo but my NT cuz i fail at kiting
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [Darker Method] Doctadome: kiting is all about RS crash
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: And pet classes are the easiest to solo with.

[Dark Method] Methodbot: Doctadome has logged off
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: Find a static, go to Foreman's, pull a mish... whatever, and experiment with different techniques. So you might die a bit, but you'll learn your toolset
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: And that goes for every prof
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [OverLordz] Mechafreak: ima just go get a better charm i dun need team empowered so i can get a tiig and crat bot..
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [OverLordz] Mechafreak: then do tiigs
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [OverLordz] Crashforce: that only works well with a team right
[Dark Method] Methodbot: Dometrade (Level 140/6 Neutral Trader) has joined the private channel
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: The biggest problem with this game isn't cookie cutter characters, it's cookie cutter levelling.
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [OverLordz] Mechafreak: it doesnt work at all without a team
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: Most people go to tiigs, so you -have- to level there, right? Wrong.
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: Thanks a lot, Dome
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [Methodbot's Guest] Dometrade: yw argo
[Dark Method] Methodbot: [Methodbot's Guest] Dometrade: bbiab
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: It's the player mentality that's killing AO.
[Dark Method] Tacharkeep: And it annoys me.
Never send a ginger to play cards for you.
And I know, I’m legally not allowed to say that word, so sue me.
Our decision to win a pub quiz in honour of Chris, who hasn’t been able to make it back because of the quiz, was thwarted at the final hurdle when we sent Oli forwards to pick a card, any card.
Five.

So today’s Friday With Means reminded me of this. As such I am posting this here. It is not mine, nor do I claim it to be mine. I do however recommend you visit the excellent 27bslash6.com, where this is from. And follow up on what happened afterwards from here.
Enjoy!

So I may have mentioned that I have an iPhone now. Once or twice. A minute. Of course this makes my old iPod Touch obsolete, and so Dad’s decided he wants it to replace my old old 30GB iPod Video.
Plug in. ‘Erase and Sync’.
Dad: Hey there’s still a password on it and it still says ‘Kieran’ at the top!
So this is why I’m spending a Sunday evening...
It's been a hell of a rollercoaster
And by that I mean just this manic Christmas and New Year as well as 2009 in its entirety. And I apologise for not having had any time to write on here. I apologise to my Tumblarity most of all! But I’m finally back where I belong, in front of a keyboard. And have I had some hell of a year.
2009 was a godawful year for me in many, many ways. In fact, despite all the shit I’ve been...
