OK. Some huge cogs must have been in motion over the last couple of days.
Let me start from the beginning. I’ve been pretty excited about me having bought an iPhone and it arriving today. I bought it from a guy in Ohio and had it shipped to Patrick (cheaper shipping) in Vancouver. He was originally planning on bringing it when he came home for Christmas but then he decided to go to Paris for 2 days and asked Dad to join him. I sensed a fantastic opportunity asked Patrick to give Dad my iPhone. Everything was planned. It should have been perfect.
Fast forward to me coming out of school today. I switch on my old Nokia and find there’s a text. I open it and scan through it. It’s from Dad, who came home at about 2 o’clock. I see the words “sorry”, “iPhone”, “airport” and “lost”. My brain thinks up endless horrible possibilities. I feel like something out of Pandora’s Box. Endless possibilities were flooding and I was hurriedly stuffing them back in their box. I took a deep breath and reread the text.
Your probably not going to believe this, but it’s not a joke. P’s bag with your phone in it was mislaid by Airline. When he got it back.. the phone was gone. Of course he should be able to claim, but it will take time
I read it and my mouth formed an O. *
I mutter a four letter word under my breath and my best friend looks over my shoulder and reads it.
But your Dad’s a joker, ain’t he? he asks.
What I want to believe right now and what I do believe are completely different entities right now.
I find Mum in the car and she’s wearing that face. I know that look. It’s the one she wears when something crap happens.
Fast forward again..
I spy a package on the table. It has neat writing on it with my name and address. I open it and feel for the letter, nothing there. I put the package up to my eye and look in. There’s something in there.. I upend the package into my hand and out pops…
What’s this? A badge! Now you can wear your trust on your sleeve (although the more common place is on the chest) with this nifty badge. I know now who sent it and am currently thinking of a way of thanking him
But wait! I’m not the only one!
Thank you to one and all involved. Sorry to anyone on a low broadband connection. I’ve probably just screwed your internet up royally. Sorry also to anyone who I forgot. Drop me a comment and I’ll add you in. :)
*Maybe it was preparing itself for the number of times it would later on.
Sorry to hear about iPhone – bummer – hope it works out. I have one and gotta say it’s pretty sweet. Keep us posted on it. Glad you enjoyed today – surprised twitter didn’t fall over! :o)
Same. Having the FailWhale appear just for me would have been the icing on the cake..
Tommy, that is *so* awesome. Well done to everyone for a lovely combined effort. I very much want a badge, maybe someday.
The iPhone will work out and it will be all the sweeter then, hang in there. :)
Yep, I’m not going to forget this for a looong time. As for the iPhone. 3rd time’s the charm!

Enjoy your day! Soon the iPhone will come and that will be another great day!
I think it’s pretty safe to say I win the award for the ‘Most Posed’ category ;)
@Granny
Exactly! Things taste sweeter the more you wait for them.. not that I’m gonna eat my iPhone..
@Alan
Granted. Ben wins the “one I don’t want explained” catagory. Phil gets the Artsy award

I was hungover and running out of time.
And i know what you are all thinking, and yes i was naked.

Ben made sure to mention to me he was naked this morning *shudders*
Aww that’s class! I am humbled for I did hold an ‘I trust Tommy’ badge with my very own grubby paws today :)
Your intelligence is magnetic, dude. I’d say your drumming is too but I’m one of those slow connection freaks. It was well worth the wait for those pictures though!!!
Yay for all the comments and posts.
Indeed. Yay for all the positiveness coming my way :)
Just how cool does all this look in a row? You’re missing Lottie’s booby.
Tee hee, I said booby.
