Recently we were talking about teddy bears in #tycoon. It turned out quite many people in the channel actually still had teddy bears. I said I had never had one (which is true; Although I did have various plushies as a child) and that I didn’t understand why so many still had them as (relatively) adult people.

I may also have said something about setting one on fire if I did still have a teddy bear…

As you may or may not know, I’m turning 20 years old on Friday the 20th of June.
Today someone rang the doorbell, and when I opened it it turned out to be the mail man with a package.

After opening it I found the object you see to the right (unless you’re reading this on planet.tt-forums.net in which case it’s somewhere above this text; Screw you!), together with the note you see below:

The card that came with it.

Thank you Tenebrae for your gift! And after noticing how incredibly soft it is, I promise not to set it on fire ;)

Sander (one of the Dutch guys I’m working with here in Finland) has lately been responsible for getting me to use all sorts of Web 2.0 things that I really shouldn’t be using.

He is not actively telling me to, but in a horrible case of I-want-what-my-peers-have marketing, I find myself signing up to such things as LinkedIn and Twitter.

In the case of the latter service, it has so far not really proven too useful for me, because the only person I follow/following me is Sander. Who I sit next to every day. For 8 hours. And live next door to.

So if anyone is using the aforementioned services, feel free to add me as a buddy or start following me or whatever the action of subscribing to my person is called.

In other news, I STILL don’t have internet at home, even though the two weeks that would be needed to get me connected ended on Tuesday.
