I don't feel like watching a film (and it's getting too late for that). I'd chat with a friend on MSN, but I just don't feel like talking to any of the ones that are actually online (much to their relief, I'd wager).

At this point - and given that it's 0030 - I'm tempted to go to bed. But you guessed it... I don't feel like.

There's not much that I feel like doing. Except for post unnecessary, self-indulgent complaints on community blogs, it would appear.

Over and I can't be bothered,

Hey how much does a prostitute cost in England? We really need to get a collection together and send Robsie post haste.

Robsie has enough problems without adding herpes to that list.

I don't understand why anyone would ever pay for sex anyway.

Because it's cheaper in the long run and you get exactly what you want.

However...
Paying for sex is also like using an extensive walk-through in a game before you've even tried solving the puzzles on your own: There's no challenge involved, and you get no sense of pride or accomplishment afterwards.

It's my anniversary! - That's right, I've been an AG forumite for a whole year! Doesn't the time just fly?

That aside, I'm back to write a little update on my activities. I realised I quite liked doing this, and tried to figure out why. I think it's a combination of several things. The fact I quite like to gossip about things, and this way I can reach a far wider audience than just telling my friends, the fact that I rarely get to express myself in the written form, which I quite enjoy, and lastly, that with more complicated issues, accurately writing them down forces me to explore them more, which is fairly therapeutic.

Now, on with the news. I went out for a meal last night with twenty or so people from my new group of gay friends. The "restaurant" was more like a pub, and the food was mediocre - hardly the haute cuisine I'm used to. We had to order from a "set menu", not something I'm familiar with. I went for the grilled chicken breast, you can't really go wrong with chicken. I wasn't expecting much when you're getting two courses for the grand price of £12. I suppose it was one of those things I can add to my list of experiences.
The company was good however, and that was the important thing really. Lots of laughing, and I am a man who likes to laugh.

After the meal we went to a couple of bars, one in which I rediscovered my previously waning fear of lesbians. The group thinned out after that, and the remainder of us headed to a very strange gay club. The word dive comes to mind, from the decor one might think the look was intentional, but a quick glance at the lavatories would have you rethinking that assessment.
The interior was made to look like you were inside some sort of a cavern, and the dance floor was a pit at one end into which you had to descend via a metal staircase.
I had quite a fun time there, the music was good & the drinks were reasonably priced. Of the three gay clubs I have visited, I think I'd put that one at number two. It wasn't the best looking place, but it had a nice atmosphere. I didn't really drink that much last night, and left probably around 1:30am.


I went shopping earlier in the week and had a nightmarish time. I was all ready to get a new wardrobe and there was just so little choice, it was annoying. I walked away with three measly items. The main cause of my nightmare wasn't the lack of choice though, it was the people, I hate people. I remembered why I seldom go out, every single person that day irritated me. I could moan about them for hours, but I won't - much to your relief I'm sure.


I got a text message this morning from Eric, asking if I want to go out to a club tonight, and I'm in two minds about it. Part of me would like to go out, but another part has apprehensions. If I say yes, I don't want to give him the wrong impression, and if it's just the two of us going then I'll be stuck with him the whole time with no diversions. Plus we're going to the club that ranks third on my list, out of three, so it might not be that fun.
I need to think about it a while longer.

Well that's about all really, If I've missed anything I'll amend this later, I need food now.

Doesn't hurt to be intellectual dear Jat. What I mean is sometimes you have to turn off the brain and go. You know 'Full speed ahead and damn the consequenses!' type thing. Was not ment to offend my English friend

Dammit agcb,

I lost

a billion of games...
a gazillion of savegames...
a crapzillion of NWN characters...
a shitzillion of AGS stuff
a quadrupillion (don't ask!) of other precious personal data...
my entire ICQ history of the last 4 or so years...
half my disc space...
and thus essentially about 45.98% of my life...

in a hard disk crash today. Here's hoping the thing can be saved somehow, but it doesn't get recognized anymore at the start up at all. IBM sucks. The world sucks. Shoot me now.

See if yopu can get Knoppix and recover your files. It will work if the HD is still functional.
Knoppix
And I'm sooo sad about you losing your NWN files, that's a tragedy

Sounds a lot like your post from yesterday in tone, doesn't it? rlpw, I didn't get any access to to the drive at all. I was sitting there, and suddenly the hard drive made the sound it makes when you power the computer up about five times in a row and then... nothing. Explorer froze, I initiated a reset and it didn't show up in the bios anymore. Since it was also the drive I had my OS installed on, it took a while to get the whole thing functional again.

Sucks pretty much if it's indeed dead, since both of the drives I'm using have only 40 gigs, and there's only 12 gigs free now on the one that still works.

That Knoppix is a live CD Linux and it will run off the CD with no need for your hard drive. But if it did what you said it might have messed up badly. Could you put the hard drive in slave mode and see if you can see any files? What am I talking about you folks are more Savvy about this stuff tham I am

.... or are we? I think I'll try a bit more of that stuff tomorrow, it's already 2 a.m. and weariness is slowly kicking in. Or, to put it in another person's words
