Well, hasn't it been a long time, my friends?

I don't even know if any of you still actually have your spaces. It seems like forever since days like these.

 

This has been a long time coming, I think. There have been a few things pointing me in this direction. Plenty of reminders of the MSN spaces world have cropped up recently. So, what the hell. Nothing wrong with a little step back in time.

 

Having left school at the end of last year, I'm working 5 days a week to pay for my further studies. Except next week, I'm on my way to Wellington for 6 days. Glorious 12 hours on a bus. God knows why the time doubles on a bus. Possibly because they take the scenic route? Anyway, my sister is turning 20, and I thought I'd be loving and sisterly and spend it with her. No doubt I will end up spending zero time with her, and most of it shopping and drinking with my friends and cousin who also inhabit the Windy City. She won't care. She'll probably just want to watch DVDs and crap. Typical of her. It was a nice thought? I just need a holiday, really. Too much filing and data entry. Not to mention hearing the fucking phone ringing before I go to sleep at night. Yes, I am still insane.

 

Actually, following up on the last blog that was actually about anything... I went to the Big Day Out. And again this year, too. Both times were amazing. I stood back this year, while Rage Against The Machine was playing. Mt Smart Stadium is huge. The floor of the stadium was a sea of people. And people were moshing all the way up to the very top row of seats. I have never in my life seen that many people. But, as far as I gather, it was very much like that for Shihad, and I was 2 people from the front. I lost a shoe. Poor Etnies. So I was walking around for the rest of the night with no shoes on. And then got left behind by the bus that I came on. That's just a long-ass story that I can't be bothered telling. But despite being left all alone in Auckland in the middle of the night with no fucking idea where I was, I am alive. And yes, I did go by myself. Some say scary, some say crazy, some say really, really sad. I say... Fuck you, I'm awesome.

 

So, I doubt highly that this is going to start any crazy movement of people returning to their spaces. Not expected in the least. But I think I might bring this back to life, at least for a little while.
