Surprise!

Today seemed to be the day for meeting up with people. Must have been in the stars or something! Wherever I went I seemed to bump into people I hadn't seen in a while.

Waltsed into Uni to see Mr Head about the project, which went surprisingly well. No strips were torn, no heads knocked. In fact, I was complimented on being one of the better students... *chuffed* It was very probably a whole big load of codshit, but I'm willing to ignore that fact and dwell on the warm and fuzzies.

Go me.

After the photocopier discovered my Unicard was broken, I decided I needed to go bust sculls in the Student Union to try and reclaim my $20 that had somehow vanished. Crossing the Quad, I see a familiar figure waving at me gleefully, before racing towards me with hugging arms widespread.

Actors. I was surrounded.

I loved it.

Ads, Bri and J-man made me feel all tingly inside as we swapped the latest goss, and gushed over the fact that we were all going to graduate at the end of the year. They've changed so much since I took them under the wing when they first moved to college. My ickle firsties are all growed up. I'm such a proud geeky R.A. Cant wait to see their final year showcase. They have talent simply oozing from their skin.

Then, bumped into the dynamic duo, Cooties and Mashew. *squishy face* Had a good old goss-speak with them, talking about idiotic software companies (geeks, who?) and about how I am supposed to go out tomorrow night to the Club's Snow Party.

"I'll think about it."

Then, I get home, only to be visited by Hides with her new automobile!!!! *big cheer from the crowd* Its a nifty Toyota something.or.other that has yet to get a nickname. My first impression was "Egg", as its all white and contoured. Very aerodynamic, very egg-like. But, I dont know how well that suggestion went down.

Of course, Hides had given me fair warning about her visit, so I had time to prepare Mars Bar Slice, and lock my keys in the car, and burn a mars bar in the super-dooper saucepan, and take the Pen-Plan to phase 2.

Pen-Plan - To slowly phase out the dorky awkward pegs that are annoying as hell to use, yet mum refuses to replace. Phase two involved hiding a few on the shed roof. If she wont replace them, I'll slowly loose them. Phase three involves training the dog next door to chew pegs into a satisfactory state of disrepair, thereby rendering them totally useless.

Ugh. Anyway, reguardless of my best efforts of sabbotage, the slice worked out quite well, thankyouverymuch, even when I fucked up the topping part by putting caramel into it instead of honey. Then, to totally fuckup the recipe, I put crushed peanuts on the top as well. Might not look anything like the pictures, but it damn well tastes good!

Since then, I've just drifted around the house, feeling a little lost. I know I should sit down and get stuck into either report writing or program reconstructing... but at the moment, I'm feeling a little out of the groove.

Or, rather, I'm in the wrong groove. My head isn't wrapping around TCP/IP fundamentals at the moment. Could be the fact that I've had too many Mars Slices, or that I've had just a little too much coffee.

Anyhow best go groove somewhere else.

Doyle.

Oh, btw, found out where my $20 went on my Unicard. Turns out I had 4 university student ID's in circulation, and the money was on the card that was slyly hidden in my wallet. Sneaky bastards just wanted to confuse me. Now have only 2. Couldn't part with my original '98 vintage card.
