I WON A MOUSE!

Okay, I know I haven't exactly been keeping this blog up to date, and I know I still have to post 6 or 7 more haikus to complete my 50.
But I believe in quality over quantity (which is why it's annoying that Sylvr always seems to update regularly with long posts that are interesting to read. Curse you Sylvr!).
I also don't really have, as I believe I've mentioned before, a very interesting or stuff to write about filled life, and I don't really want to write about being unwell or the fact I'm depressed again for no reason other than I decided to wake up that day.
But, I do want to tell you all that.... I WON A MOUSE! A MOUSE! I WON A MOUSE!
Yep, I WON A MOUSE! in one of the many online competitions I enter, woooooo!
And it's not just a plain old boring cheap mouse, it's a nifty Microsoft Sidewinder laser mouse with adjustable DPI (adjustable on the fly I might add, with a little LED display to tell you how many DPI it's currently set to), and a good sturdy metal scrollwheel aswell as metal side buttons.
This is the first time ever I've won a competition since that time I won a frowning competition in school when I was like 9, and I was only frowning because I didn't know what frowning was which made me frown. It feels good to finally win something, and although it's nothing major - like the lottery - it's still some free stuff I got just for answering a question on a website.
Anyway, that's all I really wanted to say, some other stuff has been happening like my sister leaving her boyfriend, but I won a mouse so that stuff isn't really that important to me right now :D
I might update again before christmas and most probably after it too, we'll just have to wait and see.
Anyway, I'm now going to use my nice new WON mouse to click on Publish Post and unleash this mother upon the unsuspecting online public, so if I don't post again before christmas I hope you have a good one, and remember that christmas isn't just about receiving, it's not just all about giving, or even dumping unwanted puppies into cold fast flowing rivers inside sacks... No, christmas is a time for family and friends, for being grateful for all you've got. It's a time for putting aside all your differences and being nice to eachother no matter how you feel, make hugs not war. So just you all remember that, because if you don't then you may not ever truly be happy. And also remember that a puppy isn't just for christmas, with a bit of luck there'll be some left over for boxing day.
Merry Christmas,
Boyd

(I really wish I hadn't type that bit about puppies and rivers.)

i wasn't implying anything :D
i just find it easier to come up with rubbish haikus about nothing that makes any sense, so i try to come up with topics to haiku about and i just end up with rubbish topics.
it's also just a really bad excuse for why i haven't written the other haikus :P
