Well well, it's certainly been a while my dear journal.

Let's see, the last time I updated was *checks posts* oh yeah, me being a criminal and having to touch a mac. In case anyone was dying to find out the result, I received the gift of 3 whole points and am £60 out of pocket. Also, I had to touch many more macs.

Since then, I've been up to the usual... whatever it is that I do. But for now, I shall keep ye all in deep suspense... I retire to bed. But never ph34r, as with the majority of life's problems, solutions are best served with amusing pictures! :D

parathief @ 2006-03-29T17:57:00

2006-03-29T16:57:34Z

I had to touch a Mac today, ugh! :D

whoopie! it's here!

Perhaps not the appropriate enthusiasm but the NIP (Notice of Intended Prosecution) came through the post several days ago. It turned out that if they had waited for over 14 days, they would have no right to prosecute me - but alas, 'twas only 7.

Now, this is what the letter says: "Hey, your car going through a red light, please tell us who was driving at the time". But really, the Met are saying: "Ha! You were caught, bitch! 0WN3D!!!1!1".

What'll happen next is they'll send another form, letting you either a) admit fault and face the penalty or b) challenge the matter in court, thus facing a larger penalty and wasting time and patience over the case.

I'll keep you all updated as I'm sure my audience is as vast as the oceans.

(I tried to censor my personal information but if you really want, you can make out the stuff printed on the back)

blah....

2006-02-02T21:54:49Z

Alright, about two days ago I ran a red light whilst driving and I may have been caught.

Blah...

This is crap and it's making me feel down, I don't really care about getting a fine, or getting points on my license, or even paying a higher insurance premium. Getting caught was fair play, I'm just annoyed at myself for doing that. There was no real hurry, so what made me do it? It wasn't particularly dangerous or thrilling - that's just dumb?

Blah...

I'll post my conviction notice when it arrives.

update?

2006-01-31T23:03:14Z

I really ought (is that a word?) to update, but i'm too lazy.

I know, to kill two birds with one stone, here's a picture which serves for your amusement and for my explanation.

I seem to have permanent eyebags, that's how tired I always feel. IT kinda makes me look like a druggie on a Monday morning, sorta cool but anyways... I'll put some effort into a real update next time.

car troubles

2005-10-31T17:50:59Z

argh, my car got rear-ended AGAIN!

it hapenned during my drive to work in the morning, i pulled up behind a BMW at some traffic lights, about to put on the handbrake then KABLAMOOO! i was hit by a new rover 75 (wtf? aren't they out of business yet?!). since it hapenned before the handbrake was engaged, i ended up hitting the car in front.

i pulled up and checked the driver in front was ok. he had a quick look and drove off - god bless impatient BMW drivers (well, there was no damage anyway). i went to check the rover driver behind me only to find him on the mobile... blegh... i wrote my details on a borrowed piece of paper, this took me 2 minutes and in the meantime, HE WAS STILL ON THE MOBILE! so, 5 minutes later, he got off the phone and we exchanged details. quite amusing in that he didn't actually know what car he was driving, he needed to refer to his manual for "Rover 75 Silver".

but anyways, damage seems to be minimal so i'm leaving it for a few days to see if anything got knackered. this is the second time during my short driving career! >:)

da France

2005-10-29T11:47:05Z

I took a little time off work to go on a tour with parents and my sister this week, actually, they didn't want to go on their own so I tagged along to bum around Paris :)

have some pics

this is me and some weird structure thing. LCD price tags?! wtf?! time for some h4xx0r me thinks ;)

Interesting adverts. I went to disneyland too and it was... quite boring... blegh...

here's that obscure tower thing again :)

this was the view from my room in france... what view? the hotel was 3 stars of obsolute crud, no kettle, no minibar fridge and the toilet door didn't actually close.

In my oversight, I didn't actually realise that france wasn't the only place we'd be visiting. that's right, we went to the Netherlands!

Here's some Amsterdam scenery.

and some night scenery. note that i would have bought back a souviner from the red light district but she didn't have a passport :P

To top it off, we stopped in Brussels for a few hours before making our way back to England.

don't i just look so happy?!

Overall i thought that the Dutch and French (they speak french in Brussels) are all generally nice people (apart from the kids). the only fat people i saw were british tourists and american tourists are by far, the most obnoxious. there was this one guy who held a cigar, held a convosation with the whole street and kept repeating the same god damed joke.

anyways, i'm back now :D

god damned ebay!

2005-07-09T23:47:02Z

a few days ago, i bought a gameboy game off ebay.

Metal Slug!

i got the game about a week later but it turned out to be a fake. the box was made of shoddy card and the front graphics on the box was blurred like as if it was scanned. however, the real give-away was that the back of the cartridge read "Nintondo".

alright, the game was a copy but i didn't mind that too much. I give the seller neutral feedback. it read:

good service but the "Nintondo" GBA game was not genuine.

he responds:

Cannot see how GBA games are copied!, picture was displayed on ebay when selling

totally unreasonable. i've already sent off an email explaining the situation, but i'm not entirely optimistic the gimp will budge on mutal feedback withdrawal.

in somewhat good news, everyone that i know weren't hurt in the london bombings. although the whole thing is terrible on any scale, it's really great that the british public aren't giving satisfaction to the terrorists by panicking.

in other news, i've watched the anime of .hack//SIGN and it's actually very boring. it's about an RPG game (the story is based around the actual game) and the main character can't log out. the plot isn't the problem, it's what happens that puts you to sleep. if anything, the anime is a drama - there's hardly any fight scenes, just a LOT of two characters meeting in secret and talking, that's it. Zzzzzz...

i start work on monday! have to wake up at around 7am and leave at 7:30 for 8:30, so no more lay-ins :(

speaking of sleep, earlier today i had a personal BBQ (using those instant bbq things). i ate too much, couldn't move and fell asleep :D

dammit, i spent a good £100 on clothes today.

since i have a job now (starting monday), i thought it would be a rather good idea to make an effort on my appearance :)

anyways, i ventured into crawley and waltzed into debenhams. there, i found a suit jacket for £29 (bargain) but they didn't have the matching trousers so i had to hunt for something that vaguely matched. ended up with the jacket, two trousers, two shirts and two ties. then, i got suckered into the debenhams credit card thingy (it saved me £17). got home and found out i needed cufflinks for one of the shirts, paperclips didn't work.

car needs petrol and i just know i'm going to get lost (again) making my way to work.

in other news, i've read the manga and seen the anime of Aishiteru ze Baby. it's alright but the manga (as always) is more satisfying - there's actually an ending, unlike the anime. been following ichigo 100% (basically love hina with different character names and plot), both manga and anime and again, the manga is much better. plus also, pretty face (guy gets face of a girl) and parallel (guy moves in with girl he likes but are to become siblings...). all pretty standard "mush" stuff.

the Fullmetal Alchemist movie is released at the end of this month! w00t! :)

Wimbledon 2005

2005-07-02T21:38:35Z

Went to Wimbledon on Wednesday with my friend, Ehsan.

'Twas alright, I'm not a tennis fan myself but Ehsan seemed happy:
