Walking

So I've been away for a few days. No, nothing exciting really, just wandering around Wicklow climbing hills and stuff. Yes, my legs are killing me now :(

Also, I meant to bring a camera, and I did. So why don't I have pictures to show? Well, first of all I like photography. I like landscapes. I took no pictures and the reason for that is I forgot my charger. Well, i didn't entirely forget it. I remembered the wire, power box thing and the plug. Unfortunately, my camera requires a base to charge on, and I forgot that, cos it was at home plugged into my pc (I dislike macs btw, but thats another post, another time)

Circles

Have you ever felt that you belonged to something? I'm pretty sure
everyone has. Anyway, so when you feel you belong to this something,
be it a group or a club or anything else, you want it to last.

Of course, when it ends you try to maintain it.
The others want to maintain it too, or at least they seem to. You try
your best, but often it's not enough, is it?

Say you add the members on facebook. Pretty soon you will find that
people will ignore you in favour of others. This is due to a less
vibrant personality, which is quite normal. Everyone will experience
it at some point, some moreso than others.

Take myself for example. I like to think I'm ok, not too boring
anyway. I make friends easily enough and I try to keep them.
Unfortunately I am quite a serious individual. In a world where clowns
are practically worshipped this isn't too good.

Sorry for the long post, but it was something I felt had to be said. I
may revisit this sometime

Addiction

An addict is bad enough, both to themselves and others. Addicts
encourage the use of that which they rely on. This isn't good, but it
can still be glossed over.
However, when said addict has charisma then the trouble begins. A
friend of mine loves the game world of Warcraft. Now this isn't too
bad an addiction but it has it's own problems, which I won't go into
detail on. The trouble is that she's pretty, charming and as a result,
somewhat charismatic. She has, therefore, convinced another friend of
mine to join her in the potential money and social drain of the
mmorpg, namely WoW.

Damn...

Well today I did basically nothing but make 2 intro/outro clips that I'll probably never use, a bunch of wallpapers that are unnecessary and  otherwise sat at home all day. What a life I lead eh?

I also seem to have forgotten about my book, and also seem to be putting off writing it. I think this may be because I have to change so much of it now. The previous story has fled my mind and in it's place is another, which I think will be slightly better. I really should just sit down and write the damn thing

Carlow Computing

So for the past four days I've been getting up at half six, getting a bus to Carlow at 7:15 and arriving in Carlow at roughly quarter to 9. It seems like a lot of effort, doesn't it? Well, there is a reason.
For the past four days I've been attending something known as "I.T Carlow Computing Summer Camp". However, the name amongst those who attended seems to be "Nerd Camp", and so I will refer to it by that name.
Obviously, I am now wrecked, but I don't regret a minute of it. I can now do a bit of HTML, a bit of a program called Alice, a bit of netoworking (cables not easy to make) and I can ping...which solves all pc ailments. However, while that's all well and good, it was the people who truly made it what it was for me. So while I write this in an alias and on the off chance they find it, thank you for making the start of my summer of 2010/2kX/2k9+1 a high that'll be hard to come down from. There's a long way to the bottom from here!

Oh, and I am a nerd and I am proud!
