Hello once again Gaia.
I had forgotten about you (which is ok really, becuase nobody has a clue who I am anyway)
I was reminded the other day by an email in my inbox saying that someone had tried to hack into my account. Like I have anything that's worth stealing anyway...
It occurs to me that this website was my first encounter with any sort of social networking, and given how much time I used to spend here (several hours a day at least) I'm amazed that I got anything done at high school. I have since learned my lesson and stayed away from myspace, facebook, bebo etc. given that they are all imformation mines for various international corporations in addition to being gigantic wastes of time.
Now it might just be the fact that I'm older and more disillusioned with the web, than I was last time I was here, but Gaia seems to be getting more and more commercial than it ever was before. Donation items were always a pain in the a** to get for those who don't have stupid parents or are to restrained to use their own credit cards (or can't draw worth a damn) and it only ever seems to get worse with this Gaia dollars idea. Not to mention all of the movies showing, which while it is a novel idea still smacks of selling out.
Now last time I was here I was a bit of a /b/tard. I have since moved on and decided that all of the chan's are in fact a bit s**t (well ok, a lot s**t) and none of the posts are very funny anymore. The random NZ threads never helped.
My university degree is still coming along. The material this year is far more interesting, with a focus on electronics and network theory rather than optics (which comes next year).
Still out flatting. Still unable to save any money at all.
I still play magic, but much less often and I buy far less cards. The last deck I built was my Elder Dragon Highlander deck which was always a blast to play. I've stopped Warhammer altogether since Games Workshop are all bastards and the models are too expensive. Plus the quality of the White Dwarf has significantly decreased over the years.
I'm trying to think of anything I have to add, and coming up stumped. If anyone reads this then by all means add me on msn so we can chat, or just email me since I'm more likely to respond to that.
Now I must be off.
I'll see you all in a year.
