Well I <3 my mum so yes for her but for my dad no. Maybe if he actually gave 2 shits about the byproduct of his own sperm which constitutes his own kids *sigh*

Mint Ice cream = Win ;). Now if it weren't so fattening...

I have gone through numerous mentors during my school life which have helped me along the path to slowly become more of a human being. I couldn't really single any one out.

Though if you talk about just life well who doesn't look past their mum? <3

My First Post....

Yes, It's awesomely creative :-P

To be honest I wouldn't remember the last time I went to a 'great' party, if there ever was a last time. I'm so not a party person :-S

Well ice cream, pretty much ;)

Well that's piss easy. Our puppy Oscar barking at me as I pass by my mum's room while I go to clean my teeth. Even though my sister bought the dog it just sleeps in my mother's room practically every night. Not much fun cos the dog barks louder than a fire siren if he hears a bloody pin drop, let alone my feet. You'd think he'd figure it was just me and not some bloody burglar. He's like a constant false alarm, that bugger.

*Sigh* Why does he have to be an indoor puppy??

I've not watched any of that stuff but the closest movie I have watched that involves space is Independence Day and for the most part it takes place on Earth. There is a portion though where Steve and David head out to space to shut down the alien intruders but that's about it.

People may as well shun me for not being more of a movie person but unlike most people I am not as easily stimulated by staring at a movie screen for 90 minutes :)

I hear a few people here and there with the name Tom but I don't really know many non-relatives except another Tom at Saturday morning bowling. As for 'relative' based same names my ex-father and his father were both Tom's (We called my x-dad Geoffery though). So I'm actually a third generation Tom :).

I just caught this post after I made a regular post and I find it to be an interesting question which my previous post actually answers in a way. I generally do not like attention in excess because I find it overbearing. When I study I prefer to keep to myself and only ask for assistance if I indeed find it necessary. That's not saying I don't like small amounts of attention or conversations on a topic of interest. So in conclusion I like small amounts of attention at a time but don't want to be overpowered with it.

Hiya's...

I haven't really done anything of importance today. Just the usual internet surfing and a bit of Wii to go with it.

I've noticed how I'm probably not really that exciting to be around or at least that is my own opinion of myself. That's just it. I'm not really a huge talker by nature and generally like to keep to myself. I don't want to be the life of the party, that's just not me. I don't want to get trashed beyond belief, that's just not me. To be an extrovert who looks down on shy types, that will never be me.

I am me, I am myself, I am Tom. Don't like me, well I suppose you can go suck it then ;)

Laterz,

-- Tom :)

I've noticed how I have rarely had proper updates in the past year. Just a couple of Writer's Blocks and whatnot. The previous Writer's Block actually had a part in writing this ramble.

Having a look at some of my friend's profiles a lot of them don't update their own journals anymore and I don't know if they even logon to here nowadays. I should add that a few names on my friendlist are actually multiple accounts created by a couple of friends. I think for them they felt that new name = fresh start but personally I like to stick with the one account all the way through as it's much easier to manage.

How times have changed. Most of my friendlist on LJ seem to have moved on from this site and it makes me want to nudge them to see if maybe they might return. I miss the days when I would post on here almost religiously, sometimes twice a day. Now you'd be lucky to get 2 posts every few months from me. I did have my fair share of drama on LJ and yes I may have lost the odd friend to that but I suppose those kinda things ya have to suck up and move on from that. I suppose destiny determines those will want to be your friend and those who will want nothing to do with you.

I still read the posts on my Friends/Communities page but otherwise it's been eerily quiet on here.

Well I'm still studying to be a PC techie, I'm still a night owl by nature and I still bowl (averaging anything around 112-120 nowadays).

I think I've said everything I needed to say at least for now. Laterz! ;-)

Well she went by the name of Dani (iggy52588) when I first started out on LJ. Since then things have changed. She has since deleted her "Iggy" account and last I checked she was still on LJ using a different username twisted_normal which I do not have as I don't speak to her now.

-- Tom :)

I just think Google is simply the most reliable search engine to have ever been built. You can find just about every website on the face of the internet using Google.

Oh and I posted this just to make it look like I update my journal. I don't really update too much nowadays :(

Looks like it's been 30 weeks since I posted anything in the danm journal. Funnily enough while I regularly read the friends/communities page I neglect the few friends I do have on LJ.

How am I, you ask?

TAFE - Well I have finally started a new module in my electronics course at TAFE. Engineering Computing. It's much more hands on and to my liking. I can't just sit down and do nothing but stare at words all the time. That's just boring.

Moving house - Also should I mention we have moved house?? I have some pictures if you follow this link. It's been a few months now since the original pics were taken during the settle in period and things have changed or been moved around since then. It's a lovely house and I get my own room :D

Bowling - My bowling average currently hovers around 110-112 for my Wednesday night/Saturday morning competitions. I started a couple of years ago with a modest average of 92. That means I have improved at the rate of 10 pins a year. Let's hope I can keep that going. With luck I'll be a pro in 10 years LOL. Oh and we had a bowling invitational just under 2 months ago. I sucked on the singles side of it (7th out of 12) but for Doubles I obtained Silver and Gold for the Teams effort. Not too bad. Didn't quite live up to my last effort where I obtained gold for both Singles & Doubles followed up with a Silver for the Teams effort.

The fact that I don't really have that much to say despite having not updated in several months really does say something about what a lame-o I am ;)

Whether I start to regain any motivation to update this thing more often remains to be seen.

For the time being this is Tom, singing off :)

I could tell you a lot of things that would pleasure my "mate" but that would be 18+ now wouldn't it?? ;)

Yadayadayada

**edit. Looks like it works...

Interface seems to go kaka after I post so i'll remove it for now.***

*** I am talking to myself :-P

Well these days I find I actually like some poppy music or anything that appears out of character for what I normally listen to.

I'm normally a metalhead who listens to anything along the lines of punk/rock.

Bugger all. My sister's getting smashed on the town I believe. I don't really do the "get absolutely shitfaced and act like a knobend" thing.

Well so far I am at my grandparents for Christmas and if I get what I think I am going to get well I think it will be hard to get me off it until college starts up again ;).

(I believe I may be getting a Wii, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee :P)
