Custard's Last Stand

Beware, for I am: Tired

Holy...Quadrupeds! After I finished up my last entry, I decided to go through the paper to see if there were any positions worth applying for. There were two, and I made up a cover letter, envelope, and resume for both of them. I then decided that since I had nothing to do, I might as well start putting the next chapter of the EQ Saga together. Yes, I spent almost all morning reformatting all the chapters that are now on FF.net. But what they hey! Might as well just kill myself by staring at this screen.

Well, needless to say, that didn’t go over very well. So, after I gave myself a colossal headache, I decided to vegg out and just watch TV for a while. I watched The Soup doing their countdown 2005, as all shows seem to be doing lately. That was fun. Agonized over Mom trying to book bus tickets for Bub, which was about as fun as chewing aluminum foil. I tried to point out that she was booking passes for a trip that leaves at 12:10 am, but she was like “Yeah, I know. That works perfectly.” So I was all backing off ‘cause I didn’t want to aggravate the woman. Finally, the thing goes through, and I point it out again and she’s like “Why didn’t you tell me! I thought it was pm!”

Dad finally got the new water heater, but then he needed new pipes. He got the new pipes, but he couldn’t find a thing of pvc pipe glue. So I went to town and got the glue at Lowe’s...only to come back and have him tell me he’d found a spare can he didn’t know he had. /slowly shakes head. It’s a wonder I’m not put on trial at any point for beating my family to death with an iron bat...So, I finally got to relax and eat. Then I watched Wife Swap which had temporarily transformed into Husband Swap with Mom and Dad. Then we watched America’s Funniest Home Videos together, and we all laughed our sorry white arses off.

Then, I jumped on this box, and I started typing away at the next chapter. I don’t know why, but something had changed and this time it just felt right. I finally had reached the end, or as close to the end that I could come without really ticking my own self off, when I remember wondering how long it was. I vaguely glimpsed down towards the bottom of the screen and saw 24/26. I then realized that the whole damn thing was 26 pages long. After doing a word count of just the story (not the end ramble) I came up with 9,934 words. Holy. Clucking. Quadrupeds. /sigh no wonder I’m tired. I mean, there are only like 9 characters in this story (main ones at least) and 7 brand-spanking-new ones that had never even been introduced! But I don’t’ think I’m ready to put it up yet. So I figure, I’ll take some time, edit the thing slowly and carefully, and then I’ll put it up new years day or something. It’ll be a great way to ring in the new year.

Ok, I need to not focus on that for right now though...I need to focus on something else...I’m slightly worried about my Twin-san (animequeen). She was supposed to be moving to her new apartment on Christmas day. Not so much for the moving thing; moving’s always gonna be a hassle that no one’ll ever get used to. I’m more concerned for her index box. Honestly, I’m always worried that I’m clogging the damn thing up. But, she’s yet to curse me out over it, so I’m just gonna assume that we’re good. Even if assuming tends to make an ass out of u and me.

Ok...I think I’ve ranted enough. I’m gonna go and get something to eat, and rewatch Dune till the meds kick in and I come off of this crazy high I’m on. Goodnight.

<td align="center">Kindness


Kindness is most important in a boyfriend/girlfriend. You want someone who will go through everything with you - the best moments and the worst, and all of those other moments in between. You love to be able to say anything to your partner, and have them say anything to you. You are able to be extremely close with your partner for that reason.

Computer Corner With MM ^___^

Beware, for I am: Drained

I honestly didn’t turn this computer on till like 4:30 this afternoon. I kinda thought that my dad might want to paint the computer corner today, but he kept having things that he had to do (his brother gave him a bucket-load of fresh fish to chop up). And so, I didn’t wanna log on just to have to log off and unplug everything. But around 4ish I kinda figured that we wouldn’t be getting around to it.

I returned the necklace the rents got me for Christmas. Originally, they wanted to return it and give me the money to spend however I wanted. But I told them it would be fine with me if they just kept the money and used it to pay bills and whatever, because I know we’re in debt as far as the credit card goes. I always feel like that’s partially my fault, but then I realize that the only burden I’m placing on them is my car insurance bill they have to pay for me while I’m currently unemployed. And that’s not very much. So, really it’s not totally my fault...but I still feel like I should be trying to help out. I think I’m gonna do some research on these new things where you can take quizes online and make money at it. As long as their’s no annual fee, I don’t see why I would have a problem with paying for membership. And it may be a good way to actually make some money while I’m in between jobs.

Anyway, I told Dad that we could start on computer corner tomorrow morning. He said that’s fine with him. So, I called my Sunday school teacher (aka my computer guy), and asked if I could drop my computer off at his place tomorrow for him to install that hard drive in there. His wife said that it was cool with her, that she’d be there. So, I probably wont be checking in for at least tomorrow. I don’t know what his schedule’s like, which means I don’t know when I could be getting the computer back. So I might not be checking in for a couple of days. So that’ll explain that. I’m gonna miss AMOS. /sniffle. But I’ll just take this time to proofread the crazy behemoth chapter that’s coming up in EQ Saga that I mentioned yester— uh…this morning. I’ve got it all printed out and now I’m just gonna be working on it with an ink pen. I may post the rough draft on ruby_unicorn...I dunno yet.

Oh! I don’t know if I put up here that I’ll be going to visit with Chibi Friday. Chibi and Reiko and I are all getting together at Chibi’s at 9 am on Friday morning to exchange gifts. It’s not our usual of going to the movies and then exchanging gifts, I know, but it’s this or nothing at all. Chibi has such a busy schedule this week, and so does Reiko. Reiko wasn’t too happy that we couldn’t meet before Thursday because she’s working 40 hours this week, and she’ll have to go to Chibi’s then scamper home, then go to work for 12 hours. But, that’s life I suppose. She hated it, but I told her it’s better to have only a little time with her than no time at all. You know what they say about beggers...they’ll only spend it on booze.`

I have just finished going through my Amazon.com wish list. For some odd reason I decided to go through all the crap that I had. Was I spring cleaning and wanting to decrease the stuff that I had in the wish list? No! Of course not! It’s a wish list! That means anything you might have a hankering for can go in it! That means there’s no real reason to delete something unless you no longer want it. And I want stuff! No, what I did was make a bunch of different wish lists and then sort all my crap into their designated lists. I now have a list for Box Sets, Books, Movies, Anime & Manga, Jewelrey, and Everythng Else. But I didn’t just dump the stuff hap-hazardly into their lists. Oh no! I dumped them into their lists, then I came back and went through each list, sorting things so that they were in the proper places (Star Wars books with Star Wars books, D&D books with D&D books and everything that I want to remind myself that I absolutely want at the very beginning of the list!). I’ve found that apart from an absolute love of gems, I pretty much like any type of oriental jewelry that’s shown at the Energy Muse jewelry store. And boy, do they ever have a lot. But after I went through all the jewelry I got rid of a bunch of stuff because some of it was just wa~ay too pricey. I kept all my books though...in fact I think I added a few more...heh. But I did delete a few of the movies that I had put up there. Overall, an honest effort..

So, my night has been long. My eyes are now rebelling against me and tearing up constantly. So I shall now go and take a shower…I sure hope that hot water heater does better tonight than it did last night. I think the hot water lasted all of 2 minutes. /shakes head it was not pretty. At least I got through shaving my legs in time. But still. I’m all for showering with cool water, but when the bathroom’s already cold and you’ve got cold water poring all over you, it is not something to smile about.

Ok, I’m really getting off line now. Goodnight.
