Last week I was changing the password or my laptop, and made some typo so now I can not access it. That is why I have not been posting much recently. I am currently using my mother's laptop. Once it is fixed, I will post more often.

Muffin recovered well from her surgery, and is being treated for an eye ulcer. Unfortunately, North's canine rivalry/aggression toward her resulted in him hurting the area near her eye, so we finally bought a muzzle for him.

Ugh, has another week gone by already? Busy with school, then I nap for a few hours, do homework, and then go to bed and have to wake up early. And somehow I get svcked into these forums and don't end up doing other stuff, like playing all those PS2 games I buy. And I had a tough time getting to sleep last night, my stupid battery charger is useless and didn't charge the batteries I put in it, so I wasn't able to power my CD player, which I need to play a frog chorus to help me get to sleep. Energizer makes such crap rechargeable batteries. And my CD player is such a battery hog. I guess I need to ask my mom if I can borrow her mp3 player and use it. Worse comes to worst, I could try using my PSP to play the soundtrack. *ponders* Or my netbook.

so me and another fella at school got a little scheme going for a friend. For her birthday we are getting her a PS3(she talks about how she doesnt have any new system) and now me and this fella pooled some dough together and we're going to gamestop on Monday to buy a 80GB PS3. its $250. So things are gonna be good for her. wish my PS3 was backwards compatable..

That reminds me of six and the City... uh... the show I totally don't watch! Yeah, I mean it's not like I would watch that, even though it's the censored version on TBS...

Either way, I wonder how soothing it really is. I have no problems sleeping anywhere, to be honest; but I usually like the sound of a ticking clock to make sleeping nice. Or conversation between other people. I should try this frog thing to see how relaxing it is. I also really like hearing about your Corgis. They're one of my favorite breeds. Currently I've got three Chihuahas (one father and his two daughters [one of which is a runt with three legs]), a Chihuahua mix (we don't know what the other breed is, but we know there's definitely Chihuahua), and a pug mix. They also don't look like the little rats with narrow mouths that people seem to associate with Chihuahas. If I recall correctly, those ones are specifically (in)bred to look like that and they tend to have shorter lives and be unhealthy. I love them to bits, so I can always relate to your concern and happiness with North and Muffin. Speaking of which, it's almost time for their (my dogs') dinner.

That is such an awesome idea. She's gonna be so happy about that. I know I would be happy for ages with something like that. My sister and I work at the same big-box retail electronics store. She normally handles sales over the phone and customer service while I work in computer repair. I noticed a missed call on my phone yesterday and left her a text while she was at work asking what she needed. She said she was wondering the difference between a 160GB and 320GB Slim, so I explained them to her and why someone may go for one over the other. This was about a half hour later, so I'm kinda ruling out her needing the information for a customer unless she called them back (unlikely). She just got a HUGE tax return, so I'm hoping she might be getting one for the family and I can finally finish GTAIV (the only PS3 game I bought/have. I got it on release day and my brother reclaimed custody of his PS3 shortly after, haha) and look into getting others. She most likely got it for her boyfriend, though. But then again, he only seems to play games on the Gamecube and before as that is what he's best at. I can only dream...

So after a whirlwind three months of being reunited with g-ranger, we had to part ways at Atlanta's airport today. Yesterday, we decided to go downtown to see the World of Coca-Cola, visit Whole Foods Market for the first time and buy some cheese, visit Trader Joe's to see what it's like, and to go to Fat Matt's Rib Shack (very delicious) because he was begging for months to be taken there. We had tons of fun together and it was a memorable experience. It was even more emotional than last time. I seriously cried like a little girl at the airport and most of the way home (he did too). I'm stifling my tears now and feel a bit of comfort, but still. Many thoughts are coming in to comfort me and they seem to be working. Most thoughts center around our impending wedding and how these nine months apart will be filled with wedding planning, planning the next few years together and what we want to accomplish in our new life, and things like that. A big source of comfort (and I don't mean this to offend anyone) is that crying for him leaving for home is much more preferable than crying for him having broken up with me. And once we get older, these nine months will feel like a little blip of time.

He arrived in LA nearly two hours ago and I asked him to call me once he got there, but I've heard no word from him, despite staying within earshot of the phone. I said I understood if he didn't call me if it would make him too sad to hear my voice so soon. It'd still be nice to hear he got to LA safely. But yeah, there's my venting. Everything will be okay. I have many reasons to be happy.

well Ihaveafatdog...I feel things are about to turn strange...

the other boy i'm pitching in for this PS3 for is not her boyfriend. her boyfriend likes to spend money on her(for one reason...and we all know the reason why..) and he constantly buys stuff for her. I know she don't like all this stuff being given to her(she has never had money, and she makes that clear to everyone she meets...i swear...) and...her boyfriend is a complete...well...dike...to everyone else. He stole a friend of mines job, and really don't like anyone else talking to her. could be the most innocent thing in the world...but not by his standards...

...I hate growing up...I hate the drama that shows up like the minute after we all laugh at other people for having so many dramatic moments in their lives...

I am so sore after yesterdays PE lesson. The teacher was more of a Drill Instucter than a PE teacher...Anywas, we had to do 7 pushups for ten seconds with a 5 second break, for 5 minutes. If you stuffed up, you did laps of the oval, which was around 400m, and while you were sprinting, she would scream, "CAN YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR ABS?" Abs? No. Flab pack? Yes.Alright, alright, so I'm underweight, but same thing. Anywho, the scary thing was, I woke up at 4 in the moring, as did 3 of my other friends. Next PE lesson? 1500m run. DUN DUN DUN. Twas a rainy day today. Didn't bother walking home.

Tonight I am going to a party with my friend. Time to hang with drunk people that only want to talk about who's doing who and stepping over puke on the bathroom floor. I am sooooo enthusiastic about this... :meh:

I am not a social person. I'd rather just stay home tonight and hang on forums and play New Vegas... :sadvaultboy: I honestly don't feel any sort of joy knowing how this night will be. I don't drink so the others will be all 'here, taste this' and 'you don't drink? LAWL! We're gonna get you druuuunk!'

I gotta scraqe together some money for a taxi. I do not plan to stay around until the night bus drives all the way out to my house at 3:30. I'll leave around 1 or 2 AM.

:banghead: I realise that this just sounds like stupid ranting... Sorry :(

I'm not a social person too. I prefer forums to wild parties, friends to beer, family to six.... Well, I can't really say any of this. I'm fourteen. But you get what I mean, dont'cha? But I'd never go to a party that involves beer, 'cuz wild parties for crazy, high teens equals spiked drinks divided by murder and 'other things'. Actually, I hate parties. Unless it is one made by my friends, because I know they will only invite our little band of gamers and we will sit there and play the X-Box, PS3 and PC, depening on who has what console. Yeah, I have no life.

Reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penkkarit a week ago. There I was, stuck on a lorry, travelling around at -20oC and freezing my hands off as the others partied by shouting, throwing candy, drinking beer, wine, cider, Koskenkorva and J?germeister in loads and smoking (among others) while I was merely trying to have a good time without alcohol and cigarettes. At the end, I didn't know what I was standing in nor did I want to know.

Ugh, Finnish youth at its finest...

Oranges from my little tree! They're the sweetest ones I've had in years - can't beat tree-ripened fruit. The former owner of my house planted a dwarf Navel Orange Tree in the backyard and I'm eating the benefits this winter. :)

Sorry for the crappy cellphone pic. That little tree had over 100 oranges on it this year! One of the reason I like living in California in spite of its problems.

Anyway, I used TurboTax, and after all was said and done, It told me I had successfully filed my taxes, blah blah blah, but in the middle-right top part of the window I saw a button, a Facebook button, that simply said "brag about it" :facepalm:

Oranges from my little tree!

Oh man, an orange sounds so good right about now.

Well, tonight for me was a little less than productive. Wasn't feeling the best this morning, thought I would just shake it off, little did I know... tonight would be oh so fun :P . I was eating food fine all day, then came dinner, I had Shake And Bake Chicken, well a little bit after it felt like my stomach was growing, and eventually felt like it was going to explode.

So, I went into the washroom, feeling a little like I was going to puke, I wanted it over with , I did the good 'Ol finger down the throat maneuver. Things got a little better, but the stomach was a persistent little bastard. Finally 8 hours later, about 20+ puke sessions,a bruised rib,and all my dinner in the toilet, I am feeling a wee bit better.

EDIT: DEFRON, it seems everything on the internet has a "Share with Facebook" button nowadays.

I have contracted influenza. It started on Saturday, but progressed since. Today, I was sent home from school before classes even started. At the beginning of the day, I felt like crap. I was almost bed-ridden. But I am feeling much better now.

There, there Tausig. Have a Dr Pepper and feel better.

I had a [censored] day. My friend had a major operation on Tuesday, because he had cancer behind the eye. This being his third time, they decided to rid the eye of, believing it would return and this being the only way to ensure it does not. I am unsure whether he is able to get a prosthetic eye or not and we just fond out today that he lost the feeling on one side of his face, because the surgeons had to take a nerve out. Then, I imagine what hos family is going through, and what he is going through. Its sad, really.

Well finally ordered a new CD-ROM drive off of Newegg, expecting it on the 17th (for those who might not know my CD-ROM drive has a major mechanical issue that causes it to eject the tray every few seconds, which has been annoying me to no end). This means I won't be able to play Baldur's Gate for 2 whole days (gahh!). on an stranger note my video files for my LP have been corrupted :brokencomputer: , seriously this computer seems out to get me.

Edit: Annnd now it decides to give me uncorrupted videos. Here's to uploading them before it happens again :foodndrink:

Gah! Just talked to my sister for a bit. The "Gah!" is because my life has now been complicated a little...

Things have been looking up for me recently; sources of stress reduced, couple of good things regarding work (nothing major, but positive), a bit of social stuff, and my [mental] health1 seems to be approaching the point of being reliably good. So I've been in a fairly good mood the past couple of days, but half expecting something to go bad2.

Skipping over a couple of paragraphs of paragraphs that were taking to long... we have had pretty much no relationship over, particularly for the last couple. But she phoned the landline, wanting to talk to our older brother (we share a house), but he'd gone to bed 'cause he's gotta get up early tomorrow. So she and I ended up chatting for a bit, and it turned out that she'd called to talk about our mother, having talked to her about some stuff that is kinda complicated in itself. *conversational skipping*

Now, the biggest problem is that she seems to end up with versions of events and people which differ somewhat from that of others. Things seem to get exaggerated or forgotten, and not in ways which benefit others. If I tell you that we grew up about twenty minutes drive out of town, did distance educations (correspondence school), and my sister left home at 16, I think you can join the dots between her and out mum. This is an issue because I feel caught between my urge to defend a person who is, as far as I can tell3, being maligned (its character flaw not limited to family :P) and my desire to not make trouble/stress for myself.

And I went and semi-committed myself to continuing that line of conversation :banghead:.

Spoiler
1I have bipolar affective disorder, type II.
2That's what I've gotten used to happening, sadly. But it wasn't a dread or anything, just a neutral-toned thought, if that makes sense to you.
3Some of it I can match up to real faults, but even those aren't exactly a perfect fit.


Apologies if this is hard to follow, I didn't feel like going into the details (I started at a couple of points, but its too late at night), and you're probably not interested in them, anyway :P. Just felt a need to share this somewhere.

Well, I had a great weekend. On Friday, I went to my last chemotherapy treatment :vaultboy: :celebration:, and then later that night I went to a party with a bunch of close friends. We watched Die Hard III, and then played MvC3 until about 12:00 AM. My friends and I are going to continue this, rotating houses every time we do it, which will be every 2-3 weeks. Didn't do much on Saturday except watch the first season of Superjail! and then have pizza from my favorite pizza place for dinner.

Sorry to hear that Schmuty. Here's hoping he get's through it all right.

Well, I found out today that a girl I was interested in, and I thought was interested in me, has started dating another guy...

I'm not that bummed about it, but it was sort of like a kick in the teeth.

At least I only have about two months of high school left. I can't wait for college!
