The Application

by ZombieSkittles on October 21, 2009

I wrote yesterday of my gaining of the back room, and briefly mentioned that my brother and sister both applied for it too. Unlike me, who just grunted and said, “I’d like the room please.”, they actually submitted letters formally requesting it. My sister (yes, the one who likes doors) has given me an electronic copy of her letter to share with you, titled “Appeal For The Gain Of The Back Room For Private Use”.

Dear homeowner.

                                (You look very pretty!) ☺♥☺♥☺♥☺♥☺♥
                                 I have very recently heard that the back room will soon be vacated and may be available for use. After a few minutes of thought I have come up with some reasons to consider letting me move into the back room (and not James). These are some of the reasons I have come up with (so far) I have decided to show them in dot point form;

  • James will probably be moving out soon
  • James has already rejected your offer before
  • I need more space for my desks
  • I will not be able to disturb you (as much)
  • More space for when friends sleep over
  • I am thinking of buying a bookshelf (for books)
  • I will be able to organize my stuff (crap) much more easily
  • Easy access to the laundry
  • Won’t wake people up when opening my door to go to the toilet
  • I’m getting older and will need a larger space to accommodate myself
  • I won’t be using a vacuum cleaner but a broom instead
  • You can turn my old room into a walk-in wardrobe
  • I will cut onions on Saturdays
  • I am also thinking about saving up for a new dressing table
  • It is somewhere I can actually walk around in
  • Definitely more space for my crap (stuff)
  • Easy access.
  • My room won’t be right next to the toilet

I can see why it was so hard for mum to decide between us.

20 Things

by ZombieSkittles on October 13, 2009

This is a simple idea; list 20 items in my room. Why 20? Because I can display the images of said items in a 4×5 table, and 20 is an nice rounded number. Good thinking right?

100_1439 100_1472 100_1444 100_1446 100_1449
100_1447 100_1456 100_1460 100_1465 100_1471
100_1457 100_1475 100_1478 100_1479 100_1485
100_1488 100_1489 100_1491 100_1496 100_1494
 

And, here’s a list explaining the items, in case photos aren’t clear enough, left to right, going down.

  1. SocialVibe pink ball: That’s the reward SocialVibe gives you for earning 2000 points for charity. But I whore that site out plenty in other posts. Time to move on.
  2. This is a shot glass. I don’t actually remember most of that morning, but it was after work one night shift and I had drunk a fair bit. We’d left our regular after hours haunt and ended up at another pub. I bumped into some lady clearly older than me. Being totally drunk and generous, I  offered her a drink. She wanted something shotable, so I bought two Quick Fucks. When I got back, she wasn’t there (either that, or the fact I couldn’t even remember what she looked like inhibited me from giving her the drink) so I drank both. Then, I remember waking up in my bedroom. No idea what happened in between, but I ended up with one of the glasses.
  3. This is clearly a portable tape player. I bought it on a spur of the moment want to make some real mixtapes. Haven’t made any yet, because the tape recorder I own is dead.
  4. Everyone at my Dad’s wedding in the main party got a tuxedo stubby cooler. However I missed out. I complained enough though, and got one. This proves that bitching gets you what you want.
  5. This is an Out Of Order sign from one of those children’s rides at the Supermarket. The sort you put twenty cents into and it rocks back and forth for thirty seconds. It was a Batman ride.
  6. For Valentine’s Day a few years ago, my friend had a fake bunch of roses, which she cut up and gave out to her friends. I was one of the lucky ones who got one.
  7. This clip came off of the backpack of someone at The Matches gig that was held at Fowlers. He shoved his way in front of me when I was at the front (bastard) and decided to mosh while wearing the fucking bag, getting me in the face a few times. It had a lot of attachments so I took them all off and dropped them on the floor and opened a few pockets enough that things would fall out. And I took the tent peg attachment off it. I am the world’s most devious man ever.
  8. This is a testament to why I think the internet is awesome. Back story is that I had a deck of playing cards given to me by my Blackjack training school to practice shuffling at the time. Eight months later, I got bored and started scraping the the designs off so they were blank. I never had any use for it, but it was something to do. So those cards were sitting doing nothing until I saw this video, and decided to steal the idea. However when I looked at the cards, you could still see the old designs stained on them. I had no idea where to go to get a real blank pack of cards, so on a whim I turned to Twitter, and asked if anyone knew where to get a deck of such cards. A few people suggested printers and the like, but Edible_Hat pointed me in the direction of a man called Ryan_The_Leach, who for some reason had thousands of the cards. I spoke to him, and he offered to GIVE me a whole deck of cards for free. I met up with him and got the cards, but it just proves that the internet is a powerful tool. They’ll be the topic of a future post too.
  9. This is a ring that my cousin gave me. He had just divorced and was getting rid of all his stuff, so among other things, I got this ring. It needs a few bits fixed, so it just sits in my drawer.
  10. This 11 ball was left by a friend at my house. Well actually, she put it down and I took it because it’s awesome. She found it on the road and didn’t care though, otherwise I’d of given it back.
  11. This is a guitar pick that the guitarist of The Matches threw out into the crowd during the gig from the 7th picture.
  12. This penguin was a present from my sister. I have no idea what inspired her to give it to me, but I’m cool with it.
  13. This is a full coke can. The can is from from a few years ago, when the slim style came out. I did it to collect it. Why is it in my pants? The real question is “Why Not?”.
  14. A hobby of mine is geocaching. Geocaching is essentially treasure hunting using GPS coordinates. As such, I needed a reliable hiking GPS device; this is it.
  15. On the way to Big Day Out we found this bracelet, apparently belonging to an André. It’s mine now, bitch.
  16. This is a memory card for a Playstation ORIGINAL. An official one. I think it’s almost 10 years old, if not older. It makes me happy that it hasn’t gone missing or is broken. I’m curious as to what games I have saved on there, but I have no way of finding out.
  17. This is a moneybox. But what I’m indicating in this photo is the super magnets attached to it. They suit the guy as eyes. I’m weird.
  18. YUUUUUUUU-GI-OH. I have a full deck of Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards, and a tin box full of them too. I’m a complete nerd, as I’ve said before. I’ve always loved the game, but don’t get to play much anymore. That’s what happens when a game is no longer popular.
  19. This is a dongle. It is in my mouth. I have a dongle in my mouth. Enough said.
  20. This is my big Happy Tree Friends plush toy. I won it in the skill tester machine at Tunza Fun. Jack, Ash and I were there, and we’d discovered the secret to easily winning the toys. So we were pumping money in, and had won 4 of the toys. I had two, Jack had two. Ash was just eating the Ghost Drop extra that was won with each attempt and spitting multicoloured on the ground. Ash’s action got the attention of Security and they started keeping an eye on us. Eventually we had a toy sitting right on the edge of the barrier and just needed to be knocked a little further. Jack being impatient as he is, reached in and grabbed it. He of course ignored the two uniformed men standing three metres behind us. Next thing you know, that toy is confiscated and we’re banned for 24 hours from the entire shopping centre.
    I ended up with the photographed toy, and the yellow rabbit character. However, I gave my rabbit to my girlfriend of the time, and this is the only one I have left.

And that ends this amazing, long post. I put it to you to make a post like this yourself. 20 things, complete with photos. Comment here if you do it, so I can check it out and link to it.
