get me out of here, somebody

i am wasting too much time at home. I believe this has been well documented. The solution? Get out of my own house. Damn, who else would waste time doing what i am doing two weeks before prelims???

peeps, remember the old guitar that was abandoned in council room? the one with the broken G STRING. Yea that one. The G string has been put on again but now the B and E strings are broken due to my folly. Anw i am returning the guitar to SC room to be one of its heirlooms. Haha. Of course i said i'd BEAUTIFY IT. So from that made in China from cheap one-piece wood, badly colored rusty and dunno wad guitar, i've added some paint (using permanent pen markers lol) to make it into something that looks alright. And to do all that, I wasted 3 hours. The dumb part is, actually all the strings were new, but when i destringed them i accidentally twisted and made the strings snap -_-"


anw i was so FREE i took some pics as well. Please remember all changes are cosmetic.
the yamaha sign was ripped off some ancient rotting yamaha amp from sc room, doubt it works, but taking the sign off wun spoil it, lol. I think reimin might kill me for that. Or gary. But heck, gary saw me do it and didn't say anything, instead pointed me to the screwdriver, so okay.
here you can see the broken string(s). the grey thing is actually silver marker applied a few times over, and no matter how i look i love the yamaha sign :)
another angle... anw i also added gold coloring to the tuners. haha.. they used to look rusty and silver.
full view of the neck and fretboard.. i recolored the dots and added all our names =) to the frets there, as well as a SC logo..
"original imitation" how ironic lol. If you can see actually on the 6th string that fret i put little numbers indicating the fret number, quite dumb...

pick case with jim dunlop pick inside. i really have no use for it so might as well paste it here
the wordings i wrote on the fretboard
DAMN KEWL RIGHT? previously the picture "decorating" the sound box was some TGM certificate which was fake and ripped in half. I put this in, and it looks damn damn kewl. I think.
August 05- July 06 - Our reign MWAHAHAHAHA.

anw, its not a total waste of time, i learnt smth. When i was gluing the new plastic string holder in place i accidentally spilled super glue BETWEEN my fingers, and I panicked. So went to wash with water but i thought it CORRODED my fingers (sobs). But alas, don't worry, if it happens to you never panic. Quickly go to the bathroom and grab ur mum/sis/your nail polish remover (its the best) or make up remover, put it on a piece of cotton wool and dab on the glue. It will dissapear instantly, you just have to wash it away. If u leave it for too long (i ate dinner first before i washed it off) you're gonna have your work cut out scraping it off your own skin, and then it would hurt a little. Wash with warm water for a while and VIOLA! No more super glue, everything is alright =D
Im gonna get those two strings individually tmr, cant afford to buy a new set again, cause my ultimate target is still MG85C.

that being said, please, make me study.
