Most of you lot'll remember the all-nighters, where I'd still be on at 6am my time. After the last one of those I passed out on the sofa... and got a cold call from a mobile phone company. I have no memory of this, but apparently the conversation went something like this: Company: Is that *my name*? (no, you're not having my real name. And sadly it's not really Pyro, or Singe, or even Archie)
Me: Mnygh... what?
Company: We want to give you a free phone. It's worth a lot of money and comes with a camera and an mp3 and stuff
Me: Ooh.. cool.
Company: Just give us your bank details
Me: Okie-dokie I think you can guess what happened next... I was slightly less dead when they rang back to confirm things, which allowed me to negotiate and check what exactly I'd commited myself too. So now I have a new phone (yay! Shiny!) and a new contract (boo!). This time it turned out okay... but seriously, I pull many more of those and I'll end up selling my soul, or something (which'll be something of a disappointment to whoever buys it since I think I sacrficed it to fire&ice a while back) Lance has also banned me from buying any more gadgets since I'm 'impossible' when I have something new and shiny to distract myself with

*headdesk* I completely forgot the very best part of the new mobile... the colour scheme!
Coincidence is a truly wonderful thing, heh. Bearing in mind it was *randomly selected* and I had no choice in the matter... how bizzare is it that my new phone should be *drum roll* MAGNETO COLOURED?!
Yep, that very same metallic red-purple with silver trim. I kid you not.
