Allo! No I haven’t died. I’ve just been rather busy both at home and at work. So to get myself back into blogging I have decided to reply to one of those utterly dumb spam emails that tend to occupy ones inbox. These normally get deleted on sight…so here goes.
4. What are your plans for 2008?
Well on the work front, I’ll be heading into part time education come Sept 2008 to study Hydrodynamics. I’m quite excited, yet nervous because if this course is longer than two years - I am screwed. I hate the thought of returning to education, and I hate pesky teenagers even more. On another note I need to think about family matters….nuff said there.
5. What countries did you visit?
France, Italy, Australia, Venice and…Liverpool?
6. What date in 2007 will remain etched in your memory?
The 4th November - My birthday. At work it was prank after prank. I ended up going home unaware that I had a condom stapled to the bottom of my long coat….
7. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Completing a huge project at work after months of hard research and design. I have never worked long hours like that in my life.
8. What was your biggest failure?
Not fulfilling two of my New Yeas Resolutions - To get my own place, and to buy a car. Oops!
9. Did you suffer any illness or injury?
A killer cold after I returned from France in September. Had me knocked out for a solid week and a half. I never get colds and if I do, they’ll last about a day max.
10. What was the best thing you bought?
My 32" Samsung R87 HDTV. It’s lovely and has run flawlessly for hours upon end. /me scrambles for some wood…
11. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
My girlfriend Deena getting horribly drunk on a friends birthday. She then sang to me as we walked home, whilst other revellers looked on. She should hang her head in shame.
12. Where did most of your money go?
Mostly Clothes and Xbox 360 games, with HD-DVD’s following a close third. I went a bit nuts on spending in 2007.
13. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Christmas Holidays. I had so many plans, but those two weeks went by in a flash and before I knew it, it was time to return to work 
14. What songs will always remind you of 2007?
Hmm, I listened to heaps of tracks this year! Killing Joke-The Death & Resurrection Show, a lot of the legend that is Richard Ashcroft - Live from London, and a lot of Lacuna Coil.
15. Compared to this time last year are you:
- Fatter or thinner? ‘Tubbier’, because I never went to the gym in 2007 after getting my new position. That’s already changed over the past 3 weeks though!
- Happier or sadder? Probably a bit sadder… I miss old friends.
- Richer or poorer? Richer!
16. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Spent more time working out. I got slack in 2007 - never again.
17. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Gaming on the Xbox 360. I played a lot of titles, so I’m quitting in 2008 to make up for lost time.
18. How will you be spending Christmas?
Christmas is always spent with my mother and father.
19. Which MySpace users did you meet for the first time?
None, Social Network sites are for stupid teenagers with no lives.
20. Did you fall in love in 2007?
With my Xbox yes, but in life er no as I was spoken for.
22. What was your favourite TV show?
Top Gear! "How hard can it be?"
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Hmm, nope.
24. What was/were the best books you read?
I surprisingly didn’t read much in 2007. The Gospel according to Chris Moyles was one of them, as was The Relic. I also bought the Mass Effect novel (Xbox 360 RPG), and On the Edge - By Richard Hammond but have yet to even read these two books.
25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
The Fray - I remember hearing some of their tracks before 2007 and thought they would be huge. Imagine my surprise when I found one of their videos on Xbox Live’s Marketplace, and then they became really well known after some successful tours.
26. What did you want and get?
A big, nice HDTV!
27. What did you want and not get?
A bigger, nicer HDTV!
28. What kept you sane?
Memories of special people in my life. They’re my strength.

I want 40 minutes of my life back please.
