Does anyone know whether they have started sending out the text messages saying if you've won Live 8 tickets?
There I was having an extremely boring day consisting mostly of watching downloads while occasionally attempting to write and wishing it would stop raining, when I get a text message. Apparently I have won. Call me a pessimist, but my first thought was "That's a cruel joke to be playing. Some people might actually believe it." So I go and show it to my mum, who goes on the site, it looks genuine, it's the official site and everything. So I put in the number they sent me, I tell them my address and everything and select where I want to pick up the tickets from. It still looks genuine. I get an e-mail confirmation. It all still looks genuine. I am very confused. I don't win things, you see. Never have. Except once when I was 8 and I won a colouring in competition and got some Sylvanain Bears. But apart from that...
Is this real? It can't be...can it?

So I'm meant to be doing other stuff, like writing, but I keep getting distracted by clicking over to the download and looking how it's doing. 7KB/s. 8KB/s... 9, 9! Come on, you can do it. 9! 9! 9! YES! 9KB/s, OMG, 10! Oh, 9 again. 8...7... What are you doing? 6...5... Come on! up, up! 6! You can do it, 6, 6, SIX!
Believe it or not, I've been doing this on and off for nearly two hours now. How sad am I?!
Right, writing time I think...
OMG, 12 KB/s!
Okay, stopping now.
