Ra, I'm now a CG Staffer.

No idea exactly why I was chosen over several other potential candidates, but someone obviously likes me... anyway... yay! :D

Update on things: all assignments done, only thing left is the exam on Thursday (haven't revised yet). Then the year's over. Don't particularly want to leave here (free internet is goooood), but meh. Got me a webdesign jobby over the summer, and a holiday booked. Wheee!

Expect no updates until June. I'm so busy with assignments right now. I finish uni in approximately 3 weeks, and in that time I have 3 assignments to hand in, and one exam to do. All of the assignments are due in THIS WEEK, apart from the exam which is a couple of weeks later. It's the one I failed *cough*twice*cough* last year, so I really should be taking it seriously this time. As far as the essays go... 1 x 1500 = started, another 1400 words to go (due in Tuesday), 1 x 2000 = not started (due in later in the week), 2 x 1000 = not even thought about yet (due next Monday).

Busy. Very busy.

Heh, I found out the other day that someone bought neonsparkle.com. I don't know why this annoyed me, since I don't really own neonsparkle.net anymore, but it was my first proper domain so I dunno, I'm kinda attached to the name I guess. It's only a placeholder for now, but still... *Mock outrage* How DAAAARRREEE you steal my trademark copyright yaddayadda name?!?! *Files lawsuits* ← only kidding. Have the neonsparkle name, I'm over it... It was a long time ago and I've outgrown it. Want the .net domain as well? ...or the .info domain? (Apparently that's in my name as well. Stupid enom registering .infos without permission... Blah.) Contact me, we could agree on something ;)

Ra! I switched hosts (again - this'll be my fourth host in a year) and now my site isn't down every 5 minutes, nor does it distribute stupid viruses and trojans (yet!). Aaaaand I paid round about the same price as for KMK but I got twice the bandwidth and over 3 times the space! Eeeeep!
I used to get (space/bandwidth) 300MB/10GB for $90/year, then $50/year with my second host, $32/year with my third host, and now I get 1GB/20GB for just over that price (I'm not saying how much :P ) Heheheheh! Happy!

Now if only KMK would refund me my unused months... it's been a week now.

Edit: Just found out that a girl was murdered in my home town, right near my house. You can read about it here. She attended one of the schools I almost went to... and most of my friends at primary did go to. Maybe she even went to my primary school...
Well, it's not just my old school that's dealing with the loss of a 17 year old pupil now (granted, this girl was 16), it's this one as well.

I repeat: I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone, and I feel for this girl's family. I've been there, and to be honest, I still am there. RIP Nick, RIP Mary-Ann. Neither of you deserved what happened to you, and it wasn't your fault. You had a long future ahead of you both that got cut short in a horrific way.

This isn't right. Death should come naturally. It did not, to either of these two young people. May they be resting in peace now.

PS: Nick, I'll visit again. Promise - it just terrifies me to think of you and what you look like now.

*Cries*
