So a little bit of a rabbit hole trying to find some pictures of my Final Fantasy XI character led me to stumble back on this, and it feels apt to leave a little message to anybody else from the group who ever finds it.
Hey, it's Tom, and it's been an incredibly long while. Nearly 15 years since I last posted on here, and not much less than that since I saw a lot of you...
It's hard to even remember what the teenage me was like. I'm 31 now and feel like an almost entirely different person. I stayed down in Bristol after university and hopped between a few software jobs in Financial firms, grew some confidence in what I can do, got made redundant 3 times over, found love a handful of times (and stuck with it with the last one). Depression is still a bitch, but it's easier to live with it when you're not a confused teenager.
To a greater or lesser degree, I "made it" in life. Some things could be slightly better, but some things could be a hell of a lot worse.
To any of you that stumble across this (or even somehow have email notifications still turned on), I am going to make an effort this Christmas to try and catch as many of you as I can when I head back to Bucks for Christmas. And I will be heading back to Bucks for Christmas.
I wish you all well, and do grab me on Facebook some time - i'm sure most of you still have me there :)
I'm sitting at home posting to this site and it feels like i've stepped back in time. It's probably been years since this site was last updated (probably A-Level time, year 12?). I dunno, I just feel like I want to write something here.
This blog is kind of historic because it's a record of some of the things we all did back then. We've all since gone our separate ways, some more separate than others. Some of the links are still alive. My personal blog is and so is Rory's.
Oh well I suppose this is just an experiment. Post a reply or comment if you happen to stumble into this post!

this has been a public service announcement brought to you by the government to remind you that it's not all bad. did i say the government? they don't care about you. it's a message from a small terrorist organisation bent furiosly on the freedom of the people.. speaking of freedom, when i said terrorists, i meant freedom fighters. we can justify it through religion! you heard nothing of our scapegoat!
Got bored earlier and started playing round on google earth. After noticing the large number of earth quake pointers around Mt. St. Helens, i started looking for the largest magnitude... tell me if you are bothered to find something bigger and then DO (just as long as you show the location)
Got bored for a few minutes so yeah here ya go, random thoughts of me
10 Things to do before I die:
1.Go live in Japan for a while 2.Go to an Eagles Concert 3. Trek across china 4: Go to an anime convention – Partly for the anime, partly to laugh at the people who just take things TOO far (like ugly old men in skimpy girls outfits) 5. surf in Hawai 6. Go to Siberia 7. Eat Sheep brains (its BRAIN food.....cmon its brains, high in um brains) 8. Live in a ridiculously large house with AT LEAST 26 bedrooms (with en-suits of course) 9. Throw old tomatoes at an American resident (see I don’t like tomatoes OR American presidents so it’s a DOUBLE WHAMMY), Failing tomatoes, wet fish/shellfish would do. 10. learn to draw…..properly 11. Get a MAC
long time since i posted on here... should probably get back into some sort of habit. In chemistry at the moment with Dick and Jonny hitting random buttons on the keyboard while im typing...
So yah, anyways... gillis seems to have some slightly scary love of the caps lock button. dunno why, dont WANT to know why...
Parents evening tonight... should be "interesting", if a little boring. Make sure you spend LOTS of money at your friendly neighbourhood Young Enterprise company... or make donations and such... yes... lots of donations...
BOOOOOORED... Lost episode 10 is on 91.5% now... *pokes it and tells it to hurry up*
Remember if you have this amazing song that's been your favourite for ages or you just want to annoy people with it send it to this address and it will magically appear on the box to your left ---> What? You want a put a video up? Go to www.youtube.com, upload it there and copy the link called Embeddable Player into your post.
ok, so i don't have any idea of what i'm talking about. i just figured someone should post.
so i did!
don't know what i'm going to say, but shh. thats besides the point.
how about that upcoming parents evening at AGS, eh? anyone dreading it? looking forward to it? (you'd have to be on drugs or something) make sure to look out for your friendly local YE company F:Netix while you're there. that other company isn't friendly. and their branch office is in canada as a tax dodge, so they're not local either. so yeah.
