Jan 27th 2006 Urgh today really did suck

Even though I have seen shelly all week apart from wednesday I have been really happy I love being with her I love her to bits I care about her shes gorgeous :) Right where do I start.. Monday we had lessons and I see shelly between the time she had off. The guy who stood in for stuart kept getting stuff wrong AGAIN now a jumper setting on a hard drive is called a custom select :S errrrm no its a C-A-B-L-E select :P he described it wrong too, I learnt absolutely nothing what so ever in that lesson, and everyone else in the class didnt even understand! god. Tuesday was the same but I went swimming, wednesday i went and did my driving lesson ohhhhh and my new head unit come through :D

Head Unit

Although its actually in the dash now lol, I'm really pleased with it but I still need to get this little fascia thing for it so the unit sits in flush! I've ordered my rear badge for the boot off ebay so thats coming very soon now all thats left is the heater button on the dash and its complete woooo!

So thats basically wednesday… thursday hmmm busy day but they killed some of our lessons off which was good so i got to spend time with shelly very happy :) and friday (today) really did suck, I think i was basically down all day hmmm where do I start… well like Leight wasnt on the bus so i was stuck with Zoe (who didnt talk much) and ben.. geez so i tried to sleep but i couldnt. I got to college and didnt find anyone so i slipped into the library and well did some IVA bugfixes ect, Tev come in a sat with me we talked then went for a strole

I cant remember where I went (yeah thats another thing i need to talk about) but we did something errrm… then come down stairs and errrm well yeah we see all the others and then we went to 158 for a lesson on all the work everyone has done :S so we went down the library and I see shelly sat with her tallking and helping her with her work (why hasn't anyone heard of Google Define and Wikipedia?) then we had to go back to Sonia get EMA signed and go..

Then we had to kill over a hour oh fuc|< it lets go up town the wonderful town of Boston oh what shall we do today.. do why do what we do everyday SPEND LOTS OF MONEY lol!!!111One.. :| urgh so I go up Tiffins grab a baggette thingy and then we walk to the Post Office and Tev wanted to goto the bank so he goes there me alex (yeah we are mates again now) and david and james stand there and alex says "ooooh I want a provisional driving form" so after eating my bagette i went in there and waited ooooh 5/10mins in a Que lol, nice and warm though.

Then James/Alex started pissing me off telling me to paint my car pink!!?!?! and some other crap urgh in the end I rang shelly and went to meet her and walk with her then tev and dave apeared too we walked back to college (sounds very exciting today dont it :P ) The only thing that has really cheered me up is being with shelly every second I can get wth her :)

I guess its time to post a picture of me and her together dunno how she will react to this but some people keep asking to see a pic of her so here is a pic of me and shelly in college :)

Hmm what else happened today.. oh we went swimming "manday" and nikki was in there mandy likes Tev LOL! He wasnt too pleased though :P So that was today I have been really stressed lately no I am not behind on assignments or anything I dont know whats up with me thats all Theres a problem which is worrying me though, i've become very forgetful and I can forget what i am talking about in a convo in a split second no idea why though unless thats what happens at our age :( I've updated my pics of my mates too i'll be adding more soon :)

Jan 24th 2006 Quick Post, Quick Request

Hey everyone how are you all? hope your all doing fine this isnt a very long post but its a fairly important post! My IVA program for college is complete, so now its time to find about 15 or more people to test out the program and fill in the survey. Its not hard its very simple and it only takes a couple of minutes :)

I'll show you how to download it in a sec after i've given some background information on what this program does. The following program is very simple it calculates 4 different shaped lawns/fields and outputs the area, grams of seed needed and the amount of bags of seed needed, pretty simple eh? after you have tried a few or all the lawns fill in the survey and email it back to tom[AT]gapras.co.uk ( [AT] means @ ) thats all i need, no name or anothing like that.

So there you have it thats all I need and i'd be grateful for you to do that for me i'll post this round in a few other places to try get some more testers! Thanks alot :D

Download Here
(IVA.zip 1.23Mb)

I'll post a proper blog entry in a couple of days :)

Jan 6th 2006 I feel imprisoned in my own home.

Yeah that exactly how I feel right now, fairly pissed off I don't mind joe having his friends and girlfriends that are not being loyal to him and are kissing other boy behind his back coming round, but coming in my room annoying me really doesn't help. Ross is round tonight do you know what I am fed up with people pushing me about and i am going fight everytime.

(I have a strange feeling tasha is here too)
Raquelleleeleeeellee just walked in a asked for tashas lighter.. errr fuck knows where that is, [Confirmed] oh news in tasha is here oh i've just been told off for blocked her on msn and not liking her bf or w.e didnt really listen! I dont trust my pizza downstairs now they might do something to it… great! no tea for me :(

You know if they think of upsetting them im in one of them moods where i will prob do something about it and ruin it IE call the police then they could GO HOME! or i let it all out on what joes gf was saying last night actaully last night chatlog with his gf is quite interesting im sure I could let something out, nah not in that kinda mood!

*wonders what monday is gonna be like* I finally get to see shelly again for the whole day I really can't wait. Urgh this tasha thing is really bugging me now I DONT WANT HER IN MY HOUSE! im now littery locked myself in my room away from everyone thats for the best… i really dont feel like starting anything tonight.

See this is how I think when I feel unsafe and unsecure I am feeling that right now sure I know tasha but i dont know joes gf and really i dunno my thinking is slightly fuc|

I feel really stupid for typing this right now but I have to type this out right now while im feeling this so I can read this when I am normal again, seriously I dont dare go out there I might get stabbed or something, i'll wait for them to go home then i'll come out, possibly for the best.. yeah.

errr god I cant feel where i put tashas lighter oh well i'm not bothered about it, its jus a lighter, although if I give her it back its her life shes ruining her life hmmm *thinks* nah still cant think where it is.. shouldnt even smoke at her age! I hate feeling like this.. and its these types of mood where the most crazest thoughts come to my head..

Wait why should I be the one locked in my room? i live here.. im the oldest why the fuc|< should i feel intimidated by 2 girls and 2 boys (including bro) they aint even done nothing wrong to me but.. i still feel really fuc|

I have not felt like this for ages, is this a serious mental problem I am feeling right now or WHAT? god.. I rang shelly a hour ago we had a nice talk about stuff and that, and like how her day had gone and and that talked about other things and that. Man i feel cold.. I wonder when they are going home.. hopefully soon ASAP me dont like them

I think i might buy a mini microwave and fridge so i can live in my room on friday nights if this is gonna happen every friday night or w.e oh fuc|< this…

I've been wanting to get this out on a special date and thats today! oh and this is the 100th post too :P

Well I have not really done much today, well I say that but i have done more then other day lol. Friday I noticed my CPU temp was 53 Degrees… hmm slightly high for a AMD Athlon 2500+ so today I took the heat sink to see all the thermal paste had disapeared, now I don't know if this is what Artic Silver does after a couple of years or what but I cleaned off all the old stuff.

After cleaning off the old stuff and finding the old artic silver (now 2yrs old) it had complete dried up and gone wierd :( but I found some vantec stuff so I made a template and put it on, i then decided i'd clean the heat sink fan ect and in the end it looked brand new :D .
Popped it all together clipped it on the CPU will it boot or will it not… YAY it booted thank god for that! went to monitor the temps for about 30 minutes and they was staying in the 30s which is excellent just looking at it now and its 36 degrees! Very impressed!

Which is very good because I've ordered a new case for my PC one of the best too with most reviews on the net 9/10 (oh and here too)I have bought the Antec AMG Plusview I got it from here I cant wait :D . Its a really nice colour too :)
