its may long weekend and the weather here is cloudy and rainy, so i'm stayin in and playin guild wars. my good friends brennan and graham randomly gifted me a copy of this game in march. they have been addikted to it for a good couple months. i've been hesitant to install it because of its effect on them, but perhaps a long weekend and less than favourable weather might get me to install it. ok. here goes. if you don't see an update in a few daze, come find me in ascalon city ;)
not too exciting of a blog entry eh? well, how 'bout i share a little story of one of the best random gifts i have ever received? actually, this is what i posted on tribe.ca when it happened, so its a randnorm snippet from the past.

i got a call this morning from the bead store. turns out, the manager of the bead store is my friend andy. he sent me the necklace. when i asked what inspired him to send me such a beautiful piece of jewellery, his response blew my mind.
three years ago, andy set up a booth at om to sell beads and jewellery. my friend dena saw a gorgeous necklace at his booth that according to her "screamed out normie". she purchased the necklace for me and gave it to me as my birthday present (my bday weekend is om). three hours later, the necklace mysteriously fell off my neck. we could not find it, nor could i recall when it fell off of my neck.
we went back to andy at his booth and shared with him my tale of how a beautiful necklace never really had a chance to know its owner.
for the past three years the few times i've seen andy, i remember him always asking me for my home address, telling me he had something to send me. it finally arrived.
three years later my lost necklace has come full circle, and a new beautiful handmade piece now hangs around my neck.
i keep the best people in my life, and its great to be reminded of that.
