Trying this out, then...
Jul. 14th, 2003 01:10 amRighto, my first entry.
Normally I wouldn't have that much to say..."stayed in, RPed with friends"...but today I actually did something. Or rather, was forced to do something. I got dragged along to see a relative today. *sigh* That was boring as all hell. The only thing that would have been good was the fact that this guy has a really nice pool, but the weather was so crap today (kinda chilly for swimming and often rainy) that we didn't even bother bringing our bathing suits. And that's my bro and I, btw...Kel got out of it since she had to go to work. God, trips are boring without her.
This relative is Ma's cousin...somehow...hell if I know how exactly that makes him related to me. He's old enough to be my grandfather. His new girlfriend (or sorry, his "lady friend") was there too. Both boring. There were many times when there were these big long silences. Thank god for Granny deciding it was time to go after a while, or else who knows how long we'd have been stuck there. *hugs Granny* I love how she just speaks her mind...she wants to leave, she'll stand up and say it's time to go ^_^. So we went. Thank you, thank you, Granny.
I felt crappy on the way home...we had to eat at that stupid hot dog/hamburger place for lunch because that's "tradition", as is driving around pointing out the same old things from Da's childhood. How many times do we have to drive by his old school or a certain graveyard? Anyway, while at Buster's place he fed us...put a bowl of maple ice cream in front of everyone without first asking if they wanted any. So what was I supposed to do? My tummy was still complaining from eating nasty hot dogs for lunch, but since the ice cream was put in front of me it was polite to eat it. Ugh...I only eat vanilla ice cream, and that maple was so sweet it was burning my mouth >_<. Naturally I felt even worse after eating it. I just have no desire to eat crap any more. Give me a salad, please.
So *praising Granny* we didn't have to stay there for dinner or anything, because the silences would have been unbearable.
Home again...I was still worried about that comp problem from last night. I mean, not being able to burn CDs would have taken away half the use I have for this computer ^_~. And I really really wanted to figure it out for myself since I felt bad about being mean to Sail about it last night, since it wasn't her fault the stupid program frelled the computer. And lo and behold, after a little while of searching, I find a lovely function called System Restore. Set it to before I downloaded that program, and things went back to normal. Hooray! I got it on my own! Maybe I'm starting on the road to becoming a computer geek. Y'think?
...Nah. I prolly just got lucky ^_~. Still, I'm fairly pleased with myself.
Now I have a Finch CD. Finch is great. "What it is to burn" is an awesome song.
Bleh, I got sunburned on my face today. It's all itchy and stuff. Just what I need, for my face to be redder.
I'm going crazy. Liz is still having computer problems and didn't get on again. It's been like four nights since we RPed and I'm going nuts without it! I have the other RPs to occupy me, but we left this one on one of those cliffhangers and...grr!
And speaking of Risk, I still haven't been able to write any more fic. Both the Risk-fic and the Vortex are stalled like crazy, and I wanna write more so badly so I can update them (and hopefully get more reviews...I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of reviews so far). I know Vortex is what more people would be interested in, but it's the Risk fic that I really want to write. I'm just stuck on how to strategize for another job of his. The inspiration for that just isn't coming. I know how the scene should go, but I can't quite get the setting or the setup figured out. Grr! Why oh why do my Muses leave me? I even took my notebook with me in the car today so that I could try and write during the car trip, but no luck. So I tried to draw. I can't draw, especially not in a moving car. >_<
I wanna draw. I have loads of Risk pics in my head that want to be let out if only I could do them properly. Maybe I'll try harder tomorrow, in my nice stable house.
I feel sick again. That's par for the course, though. And why can't I seem to lose any more weight? I've been stuck at the same 25 pounds now for a while.
I'm rambling. I'll quit now and turn all attention back to RPing for a while longer. I'm tired...stupid having to get up early grumblegrumble...and now Ma is yelling again. Okay, I have to admit that maybe tonight I could actually use the sleep.
So...sleep it is.
