Failure made the climax of my day

I thought all grown males (at least through the Internet) would have become accustomed to such scenes under their own volition over their high school years? But perhaps modern males have not failed that far—yet.
A couple of years ago, searching "failure" in Google would produce something along the lines of George Bush for the first result. Today, though George Bush no longer grins back at the first instance as Google thinks "failure", the fun has not just yet ended.
Not far down the Google search results page for failure...
Me: *eyes brighten up* OoOoOoOoh
Boyfriend: Don't click it...
Me: *clicks*
...
*watches boyfriend run for his life (literally)*
*LOL*
Three hours later... That mischievous boyfriend of mine decided to pull the prank on his friends. So there I was, tapping f-a-i-l-u-r-e-dot-o-r-g into the address bar on Jason's laptop. But four guys at the table, and none of them wanted to tap the final "Enter" key. Eventually, Jason's own finger triggered the last step of the prank.
Before the page was fully loaded, one of the guys shut the lid of the laptop at the sight of... Mmm. Well, and there we were, a group of psycho-maniacs ROFL-ing at lime green and crap.
Latest Internet obsessions

I used to think all those Web 2.0 social bookmarking and posting websites were useless. As in, I used to. Firstly, a while ago I gave in to del.icio.us, then Tumblr, then Last.fm, Twitter and the latest Flickr. (There are actually more.) Well what is the point of knowing what others are doing and listening to? Stalking purposes of course. Need I say more?
Along with that, I also installed the Firefox extensions Twitterbar (absolute love) and Shareholic to assist in posting to some of those.
Of course, can't skip out my own website. I spent a while putting my Twitter into the footer and hours this morning to get my Flickr photos onto my new Photographs page. It was a mission because they're stupid enough to not provide easier ways of displaying tweets/photos on user websites by PHP. And I didn't want the JavaScript and Flash options because pfft, PHP > all. Now add me if you're active on any of those sites. My username is usually either "wildx" or "wildx22" anywhere. 
This is an open invitation to stalk me!
On another note, I'm finding it really weird how I can't access wildx.org on my computer (works for others) most of the time when snow-willow.com always works. And they're both on the same server so technically they should either be both up or both down. Sometimes I'd be halfway through uploading something to the site when I can't connect through anymore. Therefore, please excuse any obvious and ugly overnight code errors you may come across.
Amanda: Boobs Not Found

My site has been acting up recently by showing itself fine to everyone else but me. While my friends were seeing it fine, I get a bam!
So I met that rapist with Emily today at Auckland City. And just like my website, on Amanda it was "Boobs Not Found". It was a fun day except for the case of the missing boobies.
No seriously. A black dress to hide her G-or-something cups was simply not on.
She was supposed to pay $17 for four kiwi bird souvenirs, but she managed to charm the shop assistant who ended up charging her $13. Emily on the left was trying very hard not to blink at the camera.
During lunch, Miss Rapist stole my cellphone and interrogated rang my boyfriend. I think she scared him. 
But LOL at Amanda's Aussie accent all day. "Wun, two, three, four, five, seex, ..." "Feesh 'n' cheeps".
I still feel gutted about not seeing them grand boobies. She refused to try other clothes on too. I am dissatisfied! But... Upon parting we decided we're going to hit the UK in 2009.
