get ready to play those smallest violins, heres a sob story for the day
for years now, ive been working on restoring a g1 megs. i had been collecting pieces off ebay, and from garage sales, replacing a barrel here, inside leg there. i had finaly nearly finished. he was perfect, i even managed to replace a couple of chrome parts, and the fireing mechanism from the bootleg megs. got the reprolables replacement stickers. he looked new and minty, with only 1 thing left to finish
the center of his forhead, were it angles, and his chin had the silver paint rubbed off. justneeded to repaint it, and the fugliest and yet sexiest g1 tf was going to be new again.
i come home from work this morning to find that somehow my roomate had got in my room and on my computer. he then downloaded 78 diffrent viruses, one of which locked the homepage, and the browser. he then tried to download 5 diffrent virus removlal killers, all of which were demanding money, then deleated cookies and browser history in an attempt to cover his own ass
so i spent all morning reparing my computer, but have lost almost all of my 3d studio max, and all the basic tools and plugins from photoshop
so, pissed off was about to go kick the snot out of him, when i noticed that my decepticon shelves had been knocked. hardly anyone was still standing, but my megs still was, just not in the same place, and in a very ackward pose. so i picked him up to look at it.
he fell apart in 15 pieces when i did, all his plastic parts had been completely shatterd, as if hed had fallen off the top shelf, and then maybe stepped on idk.
ruined, with very little salvageable off of it, save all his extra attachments. i was ready to kill somebody, when i got a phonecall to go into work. i get there, and everybody had quit. the boss then proceded to yell at me and cuss me out....
boy did he pick the wrong day, at the wrong time. so i retaliated, and now am currently jobless. however i have enough cash in saveing to support myself for 4 months if need be, so im not to worried about it.
anyway, thats my sob story, dont realy care if theres no sympathy, or if i get the old "worlds smallest violins" comment, i just needed to unload, and share with somebody who could apreciate the work put into restoring an old busted and played with tf.
"They're playing with him... and when they're done they're going to play with me.... OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!"
