Been a while...
Wow, I thought I'd posted more recently than a month ago. No matter.
So, holidays now, pretty cool. I did end up getting a job after all, delivering pizzas for vinnies. It could be worse. I need some cash anyway, for various things, including paying for my viola and fixing a piece of crap dent in the front of my car. Had a low-speed collision with a steel supporting beam. I must have only been going 5 kph or so but it left a bitch of a dent and fewked up one of my panels bad. Shoved the whole thing sideways a tad making it difficult to open the front passenger door. My car now has a small portion of an I-beam shape embedded cleanly into it. I could see that I wasn't the only person to have ever clipped that pole, it has the absolute shit scratched out of it at bumper height. It's one of the ones in the frankston town centre parking, on the mezzamine level I think. The car has comprehensive insurance but the excess is pretty extreme for under 25 male drivers. It's probably about as much as it would cost to fix it anyway. Hopefully I can just bash it with a hammer a bit and attach some tape so that it's not all jagged anymore and leave it at that.
On another note I should be getting my viola in a couple of weeks. That'll be cool. Also I fixed my blog so that it works properly with Opera, so Opera users rejoice!
