I could go into how awesome and hectic my weekend is but that is going to have to wait as right not, I am after some serious buisness. Christmas presents. Importantly my brother's Christmas present.
My brother, when I asked him what he would like for Christmas informed me that he would like an Electric Guitar and a small amp. Something he can plug his headphones into. He's had an acoustic guitar for years and well, I guess it's natural he would want something to make some real noise with.
Now, I have looked on Ebay and I know Argos do little packages of a guitar and an amp but I thought about it and well, it's a recession, we are all trying to save a bit of money. Also, thinking about it, what is the possibilty of having a friend on here or somewhere online that has an electric guitar gathering dust in the back of a cubboard or in the corner of their bedroom looking good but has not been picked up in years thinking "someday I should sell that". I am thinking that that possiblity is high.
My point - does anyone have an electric guitar and possibly a small amp they would be willing to sell? I do have a budget but if by any chance you do, make an offer and we can take it from there. Ideally, I am looking for one that is stringed and actually works. Basically, it can be instantly pluged in and away he goes - instant rock star. Being tuned isn't an issue, he can do that and if they strings aren't all that great - not the end of the world, he can get it restringed at some point in the future.
This could be a good opportunity for someone out there to get rid of something that is cluttering up the place and make a bit of extra dosh for Christmas presents as well as helping me out as shopping can be stressful enough around this time of year and even though I am probably the most rockin motherfucker you know, I am no musician and don't know much about buying a guitar.
I hope I have covered all the bases here. Feel free to x-post this to your journals or to buying and selling communities if you think it will help. Please feel free to leave a comment if you got anything of interest.

Just thought I would say here really quick, my Twitter account has been hacked! It sent out a load of spam about IQ tests etc. If you got a DM from me and there is a link - don't click on it! I might send spam from you as well!
Proper update soon! xx

This advertisment keeps popping up on my friends list.
If I looked like this, I wouldn't be surprised I had no friends. Plus, if she was left to her thoughts, she might think twice about trying too hard to look scary and "goth" in her photos.

Right, Dreamwidth....
Can someone tell me, what the fuck is the difference between Dreamwidth and Live Journal.
From what I can see, the design is almost identical, your friends are not called "friends", they are called "subscribers" and you have "access" to them. Sounds all so clinic and prentious if you ask me...
Plus, if you are just going to post inane crap like you do on here, why both when you can do it on here!?

On May 11th, I posted the following:
I have a iBook G4 12inch Spece Here which I would like to sell. There are a couple of things wrong with it.
-The battery seems to go quickly. It should be three hours life but it feels more like two. When full it says 94% which I don’t think is a good thing.
-The airport card is dead. If I turn it on, I kernel panic instantly and have to shut down. Till there is a replacement airport card, it will need to be plugged in to use the net.
-Turning it on is an issue. Sometimes, when I turn the machine on, nothing happens. I can hear it ticking slightly but no light and no little Apple symbol. I have to turn it on and off again to get it to “turn over”. 60% of the time though, it turns on like normal. I have been informed that a possible fix for this problem is to reinstall OSX. I have the disc somewhere and I am going to do this reinstall this week and see if it rememdies the problem.
Other than that, it works beautifully. With all that, I have a friend that is willing to buy it for £150.00. Now, tell me, am I short changing myself or am I ripping him off?
Most of the comments from that post, a few people said it would be a reasonable amount to offer to sell such a machine.
The unfortunate thing is that after coming around last night to have a look at it, he decided that he didn't want to buy it.
Shit.
So, I am putting it out there to you lot first. Would any of you be interested in taking it off my hands or know anyone that would? With it's faults, it could be sold for just parts but it does to an extent work and if I wasnt't absolutely desperate for the money, I probably wouldn't be selling it but I was kinda banking on that cash and I need to sell it.
Please feel free to repost this on your journals etc and or let me know if you are interested. I will even throw in a laptop bag -click here for a pic but the one I have is Orange and Black I have for this for the price. The bag is in perfect condition as I have barely used it.
If I don't get any interest by Sunday, I will be listing it on Ebay which I will probably post a link to here anyway.
Help?

Now, I know I had a bit of a moan this morning about noone posting to Live Journal anymore. However, I did not expect to have so many posts posted for me!
It's very lovely of you all! Thank you!
However, the post was though a statement that it's not a regular thing the posts.
Let's make them regular peoples! :-)

SKUNK ANANSIE ANNOUNCE UK TOUR!
Click here for details and register for presale tickets from today!
Gutted I can't afford to buy a ticket this week but I am holding out hope it won't sell out when the general tickets go on sale at the end of this week for the Brixton show. Worse comes to worse, there are connections that will be tapped but I would rather a ticket in my hand to ensure entry. Fingers crossed.
....thinking maybe a regional show might be cool as well.....hmmmm....we'll see!

You can tell that noone posts to LJ anymore. I have posts from yesterday afternoon on the first page of my friends list.
It's weird, about six years I have been using LJ and I have to say, without it, my social life wouldn't be the same. I wouldn't have met the people I have met and kept in touch with and hung out with. I have managed to get through some rough times in my life by baring my soul and just getting lost in other open souls that have been bared before me.
Now, everyone is all about summing up their day in 140 characters and on facebook statuses. Is it that perhaps the people that I have grown with on this thing have simply gotten older and too busy to keep up this unique way of being in touch with people?
It just seems that something that has been a really big part of my life in general can be fading like it is just seems so sad.

Right, so much to update but not just yet. I will do this later but know that I moved into the new place, a lot less stressed and hopefully with a few more things to happen, all will be sorted! Will go into more later as I said.
First - i have to ask - does anyone have a PS2 they don't want or use anymore? I would be willing to buy it for a reasonable price. I was considering getting one from a second hand shop or Ebay but I thought I would ask online peeps first.
The one I was using at my old place was my brother's as I bought it for him as a birthday present. Now, I don't have one and I am missing Guitar Hero! :-(
Let me know!
