hungry hungry hippos! :P

Tuesday, June 6th, 2000

hey all! well, i got to sleep sooooo late last night, and with work the next day as well :(
Infact, at around 1:40(ish) i got really hungry so went downstairs to the kitchen, and man did i get food :) muffins, chewy bars, LOADS of biscuits and a few glasses of milk disappeared in an instant :)
Didn’t help though, still stayed up until (about i think) 2:30 until i finally went into slumber! :D
It wasn’t so nice going back to work i must say, although i did aim to get quite a bit done, to show that i am worth staying in there :) So planned the new website, and looked into the possibility of the .ac.uk domain ending.

All i need do now, is write a proposal to show to the main man….. :eek: scared!

Too scared to place any more bets now, i sware, once all this is gone, i am NEVER going to bet again, i just want my money back…. plllleeeeeezzzzeeee!!!!

Badgered more people for cash, you know i am currently owed, £20 + £20 + £12.50 + £35, so thats um, £87.50!! No wonder i am so broke (and i only just got paid) :lol:

Keep thinking about the holiday and how great its gonna be! A lot of this is brought on by the amount of house/trance tunes i am getting my hands on, which always make me think of Ibiza…. i guess i am just too nostalgic :D
Finally got my £90 cheque from belgium so the company accounts are now up to date, and will pay all this in tomorrow, the bank balance is quite healthy you know :)
Oh, and Wilbur signed up today! cool! i gave him a discount, so hopefully i will get cheaper chinese (yeah rite! :lol:)

Perhaps i will finally watch Lethal Weapon 4 now, who knows… find out tomorrow :):D:lol:

never went in the end….

from when i last wrote….

Chow mein supernoodles for lunch, nothing special there :)
Went to the bank to pay in a cheque i had just got in the post, when we realised that the time was 4:30, meaning we only had 30 mins to get to the town hall.

Walking quickly there, so as not to ruin dads chance of a job and got the form in. Managed to get stuck in the door on the way out (don’t ask!) so looked a bit of an idiot!

The lift for that place is tiny, although they claim you can fit up to 9 people in it! Now me and my brother definately ain’t the largest of people and you would have a lot of trouble getting 9 of us in there!

Went up to college again, yeah i know it’s sad, going into work on my days off, but the machines are just so fast (may even go again tomorrow!!!) where we met up with zak (although he had work, hahahahah! :P) and then of course went up to play Quake. :mad:
Lawrence turned up at about 6:30 thinking Cisco was on :) had to explain it wasn’t on during the holidays…. hahah, but he stayed anyway, and kept killing me in quake :(
Stayed until 8:20ish, when i had to leave to go to nans for tea (i ain’t been for ages u’know). quickly saw cheryl on the way (i know we don’t go out anymore, but i was still sad when the bus came and i had to go).

Ummm, not a lot else, had one of my domains re=enabled, got a bit of business mail (hahah, business indeed :D) and am just chillin’ to some house/trance.

I got to sleep sooo late last night, just hope i can sleep by about one tonite…. oh well… :cool:

finally all accounts are working again

Wednesday, May 31st, 2000

well, its the end of the day and i can happily say that all hosting accounts are now reworking, and my grief and worry has ended :) whew!

Went into work with my brother to play Quake III on the fast machines there over the inet, and stayed for a few hours just shooting :D
Walked back which took absolutely ages, jumped a few fences (don’t ask) and really just chilled for the rest of the night :)
Not much action then… maybe some more tomorrow eh :D

term is over, i finally get holiday :!:

Friday, May 26th, 2000

Yes its true, this term has now finally finished so I can begin my week of well earned holiday, boy am I gonna enjoy it!

Been a bit more scrict today, I decided I would actually take a stand and get the music down, so it was nice and peaceful during club today :)
Zak showed me what he had brought back from the Internet World 2000 show, which was great, he even got the 2 stress balls i asked for AND a t-shirt, aww, he’s a good man ;)
Best of all, some great pants! free from the umm, look closer.com stand or summit, if he ever puts them on, i’ll make sure the picture goes on the webcam!

I’ve now got the choice of going down the pub, staying here for a bit, or just going home. Not sure which to do, but I’m definately not going yet, it is tipping it down outside and I have no intention of getting soaked (yes i did forget my coat again!)

Oh, one good thing that happened today, my free book arrived today, from, god i cannot remember much today, well anyway it just came out and is £5.99, but some website was giving them away for free! yes, denada, zilch!

hmm, ahaha, just got an email from aucland, well that iwantoneofthose.com, saying your bid has been successful, please contact us to pay, WE WILL HONOUR YOUR BID… which would be great, except we know they won’t… gits… decided i prefer glow/lightsticks much better, which reminds me, must order some.

Anyway, for fear of running out of bandwidth, i will now part company to go downstairs and see whats happening there, oh and the counter won’t go up with each refresh now :)
see ya’ l8r

today was okay ;)

Thursday, May 25th, 2000

Whew! What a day, i can’t say there was much work to do, but I was dreading having to look after some of the year 7’s, luckily it never had to happen. :)
Nah, did some video conferencing with Spain, the sound is sooo, dodgy, but yolanda is well pleased with it, so thats good :cool:.

Cisco wasn’t on :P but only found out after I had shelled out for my dinner, so was a bit annoyed about that, i need the money, anyway, then got TOTALLY soaked on the way home, with flippin’ bike spray up me back :(
Whoah, this tune I am listening to is sooooo cool, Speechless by Pedro & Benno a most excellent track, got it here on ’21st Century Trance’ only cost £9.99 at Ourprice, woo hoo!

Can’t write too much now, as I’ll just bore you :eek: so i’ll be orf, but back regular whenever anything interesting happens!

OH THIS TUNE ROXORS!!! :cool:
