I started resenting my ex halfway through our relationship.

Failing HDD
It depends. Does your laptop have an easy access panel? If it does, then it is relatively simple. If not, you'll have to take the whole laptop apart (and is therefore probably safer under the hands of a trained technician.

I'm going to lock this as it is pretty much just personal attacks. If you have a problem with this, then PM me.

Is 2012 the end?
The Mayans did not predict this as the end of the world, it is simply where their calendar finishes. The world will not end then, and if It does, then it will not matter anyway.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
'Double your Dating' is a little misleading. It sounds like it is aimed as those who have never dated or have real difficulty dating (I have never even heard of it before, so I don't know the validity of it), and if you've dated 0 times, and you double that, you still have 0 dates. Increase your dating sounds more accurate, in my opinion. Eye contact is fine, it shows that you are interested. Staring on the other hand is a different kettle of fish. If you stare at her then she will think you're a weirdo. Try approaching her after a lesson you have with her, keep the conversation going and she will probably go to her group of friends, and you get essentially a 'free pass'. Obviously, she can tell you to beat her, but if you keep her interested it should work. If you do get into the group like that, make sure to talk to all of them and not just completely focus all of your attention on the one girl, since if she feels her friends approve, you're more likely to 'score'.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I do that quite a bit without meaning it. I'm usually really busy and preoccupied at college, and barely get time for others, so I do most of my socialising outside of college, such as Facebook, text, msn and obviously meeting up with people, parties etc. I've had a few women just start randomly adding me (from college) on msn and we just have long conversations, which we continue when we're in class. You should definitely talk to her, but make sure you can still keep talking and hold the conversation (or at least think of something else to talk about). Some of my best friends have been from long conversations not in person, so I wouldn't say that it matters that much if you talk to her over msn. EDIT: In some cases, it can be better to do talk over t'internet. If you're shy (or as Lenticular will want me to say 'Shy'), then it's probably easier to do so.

Quick Question
In my eyes this is an attack towards the wannabe mods: if Jagex has a need for more pmods, this gives them a larger portion of people to choose from. In other words, they get a bigger pole of fish and can pick up the best ones instead of picking up the "least bad ones" from a smaller one. I do see your point, and obviously I expect Jagex to pick the right people, but more than likely one person will slip through the net (as we're using fishing analogies).

Weightlifting - Your RL STR Lvl :D
At secondary school you had 5 years of compulsory P.E (you had to do it every year), but for the last two years you could opt for GCSE, which would give you 2 Practical lessons and a theory per week. Part of this was Circuit training and weight lifting. I have no idea what I can bench (it wont be much). I'm pretty slim, I'm about 5 foot 11 inches and weigh roughly 130-140 pounds (pretty sure it's on the lower end of that). I reckon 100 pounds would probably be too much, but I dont go to a gym or do much training, and since I dont get in fights or do martial arts, I do not need to gain a lot of muscle :)

Quick Question
Obviously, it'd be hypocritical of me to attack an application system, but, I do think that it will not be beneficial to Runescape. Wannabe Mods have that name for the reason that they are not mods, so giving them power may not be the best option. I have no interest in moderating in Runescape, I have issues with player moderators already, and that would just compound them. One benefit I can see is that Jagex are showing that they are putting focus on the community and feel that they can trust people to be sensible and mature.

Who needs excercise when you have uni?
University methinks. I only have a year left to go until I'm at Uni, but I need to put on weight rather than lose it :P

Fitness excercises for a prospective combat junkie.
Different Methods will work for different people, but you can make a regime that focuses on one body part per day. For example, on Mondays train your biceps, on tuesday train your pectorals, etc. A few basic exercises for upper body strength are: Wrist curls, Bicep curls, Hammer curls, Dumbbell Tricep extensions, Tricep Dips, Dumbbell kickback and Dumbbell flys. Obviously there are more exercises. For duration, you'll want to be able to max out at 10 repetitions before muscle failure (where you cannot physically do another rep without rest). After the first set, wait 30 seconds then do the second set, then a minute after that do the third set. You want to do as many different exercises that focus on the body part within 45 minutes to 1 hour. This is the regime I've used for a while and it's working pretty well, but that does not guarantee that it will work for you, or anyone else. You should search 'tricep exercises', 'bicep exercises', 'chest exercises' and things like that. Since you want to fight, you'll need to train your legs as well. The best way to do this is resistance training (where you are fighting against a force) for example, swimming, cycling etc. EDIT: I forgot to mention that for endurance you'll want lower weight with more reps, for muscle gain you'll want more weight and less reps. So if you could do 10 reps with a 10kg dumbbell for Muscle Gain, do 20-30 reps with a 5kg weight per set for endurance.

I do agree that just one click makes it quite easy, and I only said what I said to make a point. The 4/10 is to motivate you to do better, not an insult.

I'm sorry, but it is not harder. It is slower. Difficulty and Speed are two different things, and what you refer to is speed. Just because the way that you did it is different to the way others do it does not make it harder or better. For example, If you got 99 crafting with flax, rather than green dragonhides, it would make no difference. You would still end with 99 Crafting. Anyway, I give you 4/10.

What holiday event was the Cornucopia from?
The Cornucopia did indeed come from Thanksgiving 2008, but some monsters still drop them, therefore, I would expect diango to have one.

Adventurer's Log - Updated 18th November
Seeing as I'm not a member, and have no intention of becoming one any time in the forseeable future, I can only speculate at what my playing time is, though I reckon it's probably a good 200+.

26-Oct-09 H'ween Update
A Week and a half after I dump quite a bit of members stuff (worth 15-20mil), so that I can use my bank on F2P, they bring out an update which means I shouldn't have had to. Nice.

Boredom and Wisdom.
Since I was bored, i decided to create a blog, to entertain myself, and to make you, the reader think 'Why on earth would I want to read this crap?'. Simple answer: you wouldn't/don't. If you managed to get past that, then Hello! No doubt you have absolutely no idea who i am, and for those that do, you still don't. Fear not, I have improvised an introduction. I am Me. I do the things I do, and don't do the things I don't. Simple enough? I am a simple enough person, I enjoy the normal comforts, such as music, and for music fans, i am currently listening to The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony. I am also reading what I am writing, for book lovers and prose writers. My half term will be a super fun rollercoaster of entertainment and enjoyment. I will have gone stir crazy by the end, no doubt. Lots of coursework to do, and losing the files for 16 pages of it hasn't helped! I am now forced to enter it in by hand, since I do not have a scanner, or access to a scanner. Obviously, I will not be having fun, but then, It entertains me more than Runescape does, or any other game for that matter. If you wish to inquire about any aspect of my life, then please feel free to ask, since I most likely will not answer, but it doesn't hurt to ask. If this has entertained you enough to read until here (which it hasn't) then good, because I just wasted a few minutes of your time, which you will never have back. Insult me if you wish, those minutes are now mine.

Your Lowest Level?
My Lowest F2P level (I think this is appropriate to mention, since I am currently a Free player) is 74 smithing. My lowest level is 67 Slayer, since I really hate it.
