… Since I updated.
But that’s because I have kept myself insanely busy!
So let’s journey back to probably the highlight of my year… or many years… this had to be the best thing ever.
A few Saturdays ago (seems like yesterday and yet forever) – Aim said that Poppy had bailed on her for breakast and that she had something at the GAP to pick up in downtown (so we were gonna eat at her place called The Mission in downtown). She had me easily convinced this is what was happening. Well when we got to the GAP, Tink (Miranada) and Ashlan (Alex) walked out of the GAP and floored me. I had no friggin’ clue they had flown out. They planned the whole thing with Amiee. So I had been with them all weekend. And for the following week after that! I never wanted them to leave!
Well (to give a little back story) – I originally met Tink (Miranda) on the RedvsBlue website when I first joined. (And to calaculate that – it was back in late 2003, because Adam and I started NeN shortly after seeing RvB). The RvB site sort of worked where you could put various interests (TV Shows, Video Games, etc) then click it on your profile and see who else has those interests – and we (Tink and I) bumped into other because we both had King’s Quest down as an interest. (Which is super rare – and even more so on the RvB site since they’re all younger kids who probably never heard of King’s Quest). So she and I started talking on there.
Shortly after, I met her boyfriend on there (who she had finally talked to coming onto the site). And Alex and I hit off from the start. He’s got that same whacky sense of humor (but he’s very good looking and has a very cool Aussie accent – two things I lack – good looks and a bad arse Aussie accent). It’s been pure magic since then.
Here’s pictures of us in San Diego & Lego Land…

I want them to come back and stay.
But that’s a story for another time. I made this by combining a few pictures together and throwing the song on there…
NOTE: It wasn’t really Tink’s birthday. There’s a thing we do that when someone stands to go to the bathroom we tell the waiter it’s that person’s birthday. They got me when we went to Ruby’s (there’s pictures somewhere of it). Then we got Jack at one of the Cheese Cake Factory stops. Then we nailed Miranda at the final Cheese Cake Factory stop.
Then Poppy had her own Surprise Birthday Party…
Shinpaul and I are in some of these…

And then in an never ending attempt to increase my ability to edit movies and such – I threw this together. I filmed it from three or four angles (recording at different times) – and then cut them together. The point was to get the lip synching right – despite being from different shots. I think it came out pretty well. I went all out silly for it (might as well have fun when you do this kind of stuff).
Then on the more depressing side – My 500GB External Hard Drive crashed. It had everything on it – from all my pictures, music, Neverending Nights, Writing – you name it – it was on this thing. And for days I thought all was lost – I had been randomly downloading recovery programs and none could find anything – until I came across BadCopy Pro! Well, you can read about it and my review on the Sierra Help Pages here.
Which segways into the next thing – The Sierra Help Pages which had previously been hosted on Tawmis.com moved to their own domain after Sierra/Vivendi/Activision/Whoever made the announcement – and we (well Collector did – then I came on as Co-Admin) launched the Sierra Help Page Forums which I think have been a HUGE success!
Other than that – just doing things here and there in life and keeping busy. I am hoping to be able to update this on a regular basis again.
