Meh, I know I don't post journals as often as others, but when I do, I seem to spew everything in some emo outpouring of whinging. Oh well, complaints aside heres what's been happening over here in the last few weeks.

Mum, give me a money
Anyone familiar with me knows my constant bitching over monetary matters, but now I'm a changed man. After finishing saving for my glorious puter (games! in 16 bit colour!) I can now enjoy burning money like only a teen with too much disposable income ever could. Trust me, it's awesome. I've even started paying for music (Mainly because I was caught torrenting Sims 2 Pets and I'm paranoid that the RIAA is watching me extra-closely). I now have a long list of things to piss away my cash on, if I can get cash (atm's are fucking annoying. Who the hell designs a machine that only spits out $20 and $50 notes), many of which I don't actually need.

Haircuts, Lockpicks and Xbox Live
Even though hardly anyone on the net has seen a picture of me, I can tell you I now sport a now haircut. Short and stylish anyone? Actually, I only got it because complete strangers at school kept telling me to "get a haircut", and after witnessing the horror that is school photos, I can honestly say I'm glad I did. "It looks like it did before, only shorter and a bit less gay". Thanks Rob, but that pretty much sums up all my narcissistic ranting. People still tell me to get a haircut though...

Ahh, where would the world be without criminals. Not that I am one, in fact, I'd probably cry if someone put too much sugar in my tea (Not really, dumbass), but illegal things interest me really only for the fact that someone didn't want me to know about them. Hence, my fascination with lockpicking. Now, in WA, it's only illegal to have them if you get caught in the daytime without a good excuse to prove you weren't going to rob some pensioners (Well officer, I lost my front door keys and couldn't be bothered to get new ones, so I just break my way in now), so it's not very hardcore on the scale of rebellious behaviour. Anyway, a friend, also called Patrick is teaching me how to bypass all things security. It seems simple, and it's a kickass way to impress people.

Ahhh, Xbox Live. You taunted me for years (I don't have an xbox) with your online gaming, and now I have revenge. Halo 2 Vista came out (a week early), and thinking I would preorder it but instead seeing it for sale I went and bought it on impulse (speaking of which, i've just been out in town and somehow managed to end up with F.E.A.R. extraction point and Sims 2 Seasons. Don't ask). Even though it's a rip-off I'm enjoying it anyway. That said, it's quite lacking for $70 worth and being asked to pay $80 a year for online features that should have been included anyway is like being asked to pay rent for your own limbs.

Well, my fingers hurt, so I think I'll end this post now.

chalkley3 out!
