Someone really cool (girl named Sarah) drew this fucking AWESOME pic and I just had to share it with the world. Or at least the people who read this :o

Time for an update, methinks...
Well, things are definitely getting better around here.
Seems as though I'm getting used to the place. I haven't noticed my brother being as patronising lately, so either he's figured out that it bothered me or I've just gotten used to it. Oh well, all is good in the land of eng. Except for the English. They speak funny.
I've applied for a couple of jobs here. Landing either one of them would be really good, there's one in particular that would be perfect for me since it's a sort of help desk thing, pays £8 an hour and lasts for the whole summer. I need monies to buy expensive, yet ultimately useless things =D
I've spent more time in the pub in the past two weeks than I have in the past two years.
I normally wouldn't mind so much, but now that the world cup has started, I can see them getting crowded, loud and filled with football fanatics. 3 Things I don't like.
At least they're not French, I suppose...
Hmm. It's late. And by late, I mean it's early. I should probably go to bed about 6 hours ago. Oh well, what can you do? >_>

It's finally done...
I just spent the better part of a week trying to upload Homeworld onto a site for a friend to download.
Since I went to that much trouble, here's the link for anyone that wants it:

Expires in 7 days.
It's an awesome game.

Been here a week....
Well, I've been here at my brother's for a week and I have mixed feelings about it.
On the one hand, it's good because it means I don't have to go home or anything, on the other hand I don't actually know anyone around here, except for a guy called Dan who I know lives somewhere near (but I have no idea where). I just miss my friends.
What's more, I feel really uncomfortable around my brother. Because I'm staying here under his good graces, I constantly try to avoid saying or doing anything that could cause friction, and even then I don't think it's been too successful.
For example, he's been patronising me constantly since I got here, Don't get me wrong, I can understand why. I'm his little brother, I'm still 4 in his eyes and that will probably never change, but I can't even ask him the simplest of questions without him giving me a 30second answer making me feel the age he sees me at.
But how can I tell him that? Last night we were playing pool and he was giving me advice (he's on a pool team, I suck at it, fair enough really). His fiancée, Amy, told him to stop patronising me and he got a bit arsey. Then when I said he has been doing that since I got here, he got even more pissed off.
5mins later, we were all acting like nothing had happened, but still it just adds to the feeling that I can't really say anything. If I do, he'll get pissed off and there will be a bad atmosphere around here, but if I don't he'll keep talking down to me and I'll end up feeling like complete shite most of the time.
I still don't actually know if I've pissed either him or Amy off. Like tonight, there's some Karaoke thing or something they're going to. Amy's DJing, Chris is...well, drinking. I was under the impression that I was tagging along as well, but I guess not since I'm sitting here updating this now.
I hope they just forgot and aren't upset at me or anything, I know I'm a bit of a burden being here and I try to help out when and where I can, but I really just don't know what I can do to make things easier on everyone.
Plan is to get a Job, that way I'll be out of their hair plenty and I'll have cash to spare. I just don't know where to start since I don't know where anything is around here.
EDIT: Ah, well as it turns out he just fell asleep and was actually here the whole time. Silly bugger.
