I said a lot of stupid things yesterday and today. This wasn't the first time I did something lime this but I'll try my utmost to make it the last time ever.
silicondreams and rdyfrde, you two work hard for the money that makes it possible to do these fun things together. This is great, the both of you totally deserve it and if I ever so much as show the tiniest sign of being a stupid, jealous asshole again, feel free to kick me. Hard.
Right now, I'm not in a state to do any of the stuff you do. I'm a student, just got out of a horrible marriage and am trying to get by by myself, financially and psychologically. Once I graduate, I'll try to find a decent job that will hopefully give me enough money to travel a bit once in a while.
And, provided you two don't mind, and after all of this crap, it would still be understandable if you did, I'd love to be a part of the gang.
Until then, I'm sorry and hope you'll still want to be my friends, preferably for, like, 4759 years ;)

A very, very Happy Birthday to my dearest silicondreams!

A little something-something is on the way. I'm still hopeful that one year, I'll be able to send you a pressie that will actually arrive on time *facepalm*

*crawls out from mountain of math problems* OH HAY. I CAN HAS SOLUTIONS NOW PLS?

Remember Ni-Juu-Ni? The IBM T22 (900 MHz - 100 MHz faster than my T21) yamasagi bought to use at his job?
When he was looking at brand-new ones, he suddenly asked me whether an additional 100 MHz might be of any use to me. "Why of course", I said.
To which he replied: "Then we'll swap. I hardly use Ni-Juu-Ni anyway and you need the best laptop you can get to take to uni every day"
O_O
This means I'll use the long weekend ahead of us (All Saints' Day tomorrow) to swap all the drives between the two machines (I'm even taking my DVD drive because the one in the T22 seems to have mechanical closing issues), format them and reinstall the OSes. My new T22 will be getting XP Home, firstly because Yama bought a license just for it and secondly because I've seen it on this amchine and it runs a lot more smoothly than I could've imagined.
I also ordered two new TrackPoint caps because mine is rather severely used ^_^;;;
So, yay. My third laptop in two years. WTF?! XD

Tonight, we'll have dinner at the Chinese restaurant with a friend of Yama's and his girlfirend.
And on Sunday, it's off to mum, dad and bro once again. I'm sure there'll be tons of university talk. Hee ^^

Currently, I'm waiting for the Oberhausen tickets to arrive. I odered them the moment silicondreams told me she'd booked the flgihts.
I also arranged for us to go meet my parents' on Saturday. This sounds weird. Never mind XD
Mum's cooking. Gonna be fun, especially seeing all of their attempts at communication in whatever language they might come up with *giggles*
So, 2008's not even here yet but there's one definitive highlight already planned. Nice, eh? ^_^

Mmh, new 'Ray promo pics *saves them to USB stick to cheer herself up during upcoming modeling methods lecture*

yamasagi did something...

( :D )

OMG, in about twelve hours, I'll be on my way to the airport O_O
I've packed most of my stuff, all that's left is my tech and the cosmetics stuff. Or so I believe. I'll better check and re-check again tomorrow, hehe XD
Printed out train info and my flight data.
So excited *bounces off walls*
Uh... see you all in a few days? ^_^

The bastards at Mobilcom seem to like making fun of me. But I'm starting to hardly care about it any more.

Apart from that, all of my hopes, thoughts and wishes go to Torino.
I know it sounds stupid and cliché and silicondreams, you know I'm a helpless idiot when it comes to things like this.
But believe me, if I had the money, I'd jump into the next plane and be there. Not that I'd be able to do anything, but... yeah.

Better shut up now.

The Gamma Ray crew probably heard that Kai and his boys (XD) will play Agglutination on August 11. The festival's in Potenzia, Italy (!)
Of course, I'm hella tempted to fly down there to go see them and of course spend some long overdue quality time with silicondreams *lol*
Well, I'm still not sure whether I'll actualy be able to go, but I still checked for flights.
If I booked the thing right now, it'd be 58 Euros. For both tickets. Holy hell, compared to last year that's almost for free ^_~
(The thing with Germanwings is that the earlier you grab your seats, the cheaper they are.)
Flying in on Tuesday (August 7) would cost me (tax not included) a whooping 66 cents. Those dudes are insane.
The only thing that would even improve the whole thing would be if they finally set up flights directly to Torino, goddammit >:O

So, silicondreamss present arrived in Torino safely. And today, when I called mum from the train home from yamasagis, she said something had arrived for me yesterday as well.
Y'know, from the moment I heard she had bought something for me, I knew what it was. It just HAD to be that.
And when mum told me, in a surprised tone, that the parcel was light as a feather, I was absolutely certain.
Well, I got home, grabbed the box, opened it, read the cute Xmas card (and gave it to mum who didn't understand it and got a bit frustrated ^_~), opened the wrapping paper and out came...

( 960x1280 )

Tomorrow: Car buying. With dad. And without mum a.k.a. "The Cheapest Offer is Just Enough For You" mum. Good thing. Yama actually wrote me a list of important things I need to check on all of the candidates. And I'll be damned if I don't get one of these cute little babys (preferrably the silver or the metallic-blue one) ^^

I decided to do this one a little differently from the usual holiday reports.
So...

( Here we go!! )

I hope I didn't forget anything important.
And if I did, there's still silicondreams to kick remind me ;)

Oh, and look at my chibi icon. Isn't it cute?

Pictures will follow tomorrow!

Just a short message to tell all of you that I'm still alive :D
Currently, we're at silicondreamss place.
We slept fifteen hours (!) and will be going out for a beer with Dea tonight.
And we dunno when yet but they'll be taking me to the Japanese restaurant as a late bday treat. Yayyyy!!!!
Dinner at her Motty's place is planned for Wednesday (Already met her twice, BTW).
So, all's well.
Oh, and be prepared for some crazy stories once I get back ;)
