in 6 hours i get on a train for 7 days of no net/pc/N64/ps limited tv and my gf's family. its not all that bad, i hope to come back with a digicam, a set of badass headphones and memories of seeing LOTR2 im doing my best to forget my dismal performance in my leaving school exams, and most importantly my university access score (i needed a 79.5..... i got 39.5) ouch. my mom is progressing with purchasing a new house which will land me a workshop, a pc room, and a cavernous bedroom (beats the crap outa my gf and i sharing the same small appartment bedroom, yes we live together), and i hope that when i get back (around 30th ) that she will have the keys im getting nothing for xmas (except the house bonus) and $200 for tools (jigsaw,power drill and a allpurpose sander mostly) so its a small xmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND MAY SANTA ALL LEAVE US DREMELS!!!!
