Hating all life since 1998!

So.... freaking.... tired - 15 hours sleep in the lest three days, I'm not sure how I'm awake right now. I wouldn't even put it down to will power, that gave out a day ago. So as you can see, the site now looks decent on both IE and Mozilla (actually I'm making the assumption about IE, if it doesn't? too bad) which makes me happy enough to leave as is for now. This is in no small way thanks to Daznads for pointing out my nub-saucery and fixing my mistakes - thanks Daz!!
So now I'm pretty much just waiting for things to happen - got the last of everything sorted out today, and my plane leaves tomorrow at 12:00pm. I'm excited as hell about this trip, but at the same time I've got this feeling of dread, and I'm not particularly sure about what. i get the feeling I should maybe be looking out the window periodically to make sure there isn't a yeti riding on the wing, or a gremlin rifling through the wiring. Or maybe even flying into a swirling vortex, sending us back in time. maybe I should stop watching so many movies before I leave.
So anyway, this will be my last post in Oz for awhile - next time I post I'll be in the glorious land of Fish and Chips and abnormally large teeth=)

Well tomorrow is the big day, and until then, today I get to kick back, relax and wait until tomorrow comes... Or not - whatever.
As much as I'd like to loaf off and probably strum out a few songs on guitar hero and maybe further develop this site into something that actually pleases the eye, I'll instead be rushing around and stopping a bunch of badness from occurring while I'm gone, although despite my efforts I'm sure fate will find some shit to shovel onto my plate, waiting for me to return and eat it with a spoon, but of course such is life when you're as negative as me.
For those of you who are reading this on IE, then many thanks goes to Daznads for helping me with the scripting - took me and him a long time and we finally got it together, so thank you if you do like it, also: Start using a better browser. For those of you using Mozilla firefox, you may be wondering (if I haven't gotten it sorted out by now - most likely won't) why the site looks all.... not good. Well it's because for some reason Mozilla has chosen to scorn me and my scripting and doesn't want to show it looking decent - asshole. So if you're one of the people who decide to take issue with this, I can only say "fuck you" and hope that it sinks in far enough for you to get my blunted point. Of course this is something that Ultimately I hope to rectify, although I can't see it happening any time before i get back, because while I'm willing to spend hours and hours coding html and the like here, I am not so willing to do it while I'm on holiday, with potentially hot british girls (I know they exist - I've seen them on TV) wanting to do things to me. Good things. Shut up Jaye. So if you don't like it, please send an email to the address at the bottom of the page, although please note that any complaint emails and not emails filled with words of love and happiness will more than likely be met with animosity the likes you haven't seen since the day it was made abundantly clear your parents don't love you.
Also, I realise that every time I've made a change to the site I've uploaded it to the server. So for those of you who've been watching it's progress over the last month with a sever look of "wtf?" on your face, my apolagies for my poor attempts at web dev.
Also: Hi Karl!

Only one more day of being in this du--... I mean, cherished home=P
So anyways, last night a friend of mine showed me the funniest thing I've ever seen: garfield minus garfield. To me, this makes alot of sense, and makes alot more sense than when the comics are done normally - what if garfield isn't real? What if John's outbursts are all part of his subconcious efforts to reveal his deep seated issues? Something to dwell on, I guess...
So I leave on saturday, and I have spent the last two nights at my Brothers house in Perth city. I haven't packed, and I don't have everything together yet, but I'm sure my mad dash to organise myself on Firday night will see everything work out in the end.
And now.... Food!

So this is as much as I can get done before I leave, it's nothing special and the site certainly doesn't look anything like what I wanted it to be, but alas time is against me, and this is pretty much what I'll have to make do with until I get back.
Today I enrolled for Tuart College, and for those that don't know - it's a bridging school for adults who need to obtain a year 11/12 equivalency, and since I dropped out of highschool (not my choice) two years ago, I'm one of the poor schmoes who will be rocking up for orientation on July 21st. To be quite honest I had been really looking forward to going back to highschool, mainly because I knew that this isn't quite like highschool, being that the students would be older and (presumabley) much more mature, but after having a chance to wander around the campus this morning I can't say it filled me with anticipation or excitement.
What I am pretty anxious about though, is the fact that I am soon to be leaving the country in two days for my crazy European odysee. First time I've ever been out of the country, or even out of the state, and first time on a plane aswell. Now I'm heading over to Europe on my own (will be staying with a friend of mine over there), and I'm about to embark on a 24 hour journey to England. Faced with the prospect of sitting on the plane with nothing to do for the ~20 hours I will actually be on the plane itself, my thoughts have turned to the possibility that someone will actually try to converse with me. For any that actually know me, they would also know I hate people - hate them with a passion. So therefore I'll be listing off plane crash statistics on wreckages and fatalities, and hopefully this will keep the once cheery Joe Bloggs from ever wanting to talk to me again.
As far as what I'll actually be doing on this trip goes, I haven't got anything particularly grand planned, as most of what we (Me and my friend J) will be doing over there will most likely be planned by J himself.
That's all I have to say about that for now, but I'll be posting updates and such on here over my trip, and when I get time I will add in a section for any photo's I take - until then, keep on plugging away, you little corporate puppets.
