Well, firstly, happy Valentine's Day everybody. And I don't care if you're taken or single or pouting or thrilled or hoping, I like to think that Valentine's Day is much more than celebrating you and your significant other (because let's face it, a holiday focused on that alone is really kind of lame, isn't that what anniversaries are for?).

Oddly enough, I'd silently made a pact to not update until I'd gotten my laptop back. Obviously, my cord came in, and I'm pretty excited. No more huddling in the cold basement for me (and greater relaxation about my time limits on the computer XD)! The only draw-back is that now I have to watch out for over-heating again. Oh well, can't have ( Read more... )

Monday night was an interesting night. Not long after making my last post, I shifted my laptop so that I might be seated more comfortably and was promptly rewarded with a black screen and no little green light of life. Needless to say, I was shocked and horrified.

But having geek friends pays off. My wonderful and miraculous friend Craig (down at ( Read more... )

I came home from line judging at the volleyball game with a headache and a new determination in mind. Despite how busy I am, my life is still highly sedentary; I play my instrument, I sing some songs, I act and dance around, but I don't train for sports and I certainly don't do any true physical exercise. I complained to Lauren about this as I ( Read more... )

All right, I think I'm finally done tweaking this beast. Although I expanded my profane vocabulary and burst a couple blood cells, I eventually figured out how to get an image map and a sidebar. I'm generally pleased with the new layout. Dameon Clarke is always wonderful to look at ( Read more... )

Work tonight, from 6 - 9ish, for the first time since... oh, last week! In this transition between Girls to Boys basketball, they took a two week break, which meant a two-week break for your's truly (interrupted by a remote broadcast, but that's hardly a complaint, since it was fun, went well, and gave me cash ;D). It was strange not having to work ( Read more... )

I feel... strange. Like, sort of unhappy. Maybe it's because no one else really is. Happy, that is. Maybe it's because everyone's concerns are so trivial; including my own. Everyone finds something to complain about. Even me. No, I don't really know where I'm going with this ( Read more... )

If you wake up to crappy weather and just know that the day is going to be crappy, why get out of bed ( Read more... )

MySpace makes me angry and hurt and upset. Like I don't know so many things about all these people, that everyone's so different and changed, or maybe they're just putting on a mask. No one cares about values, they're just out to impress everyone else. You don't really know who half the people on your "friends" list are ( Read more... )

I find it strange that my parents now have absolutely no problem with leaving me to fend for myself. The weekend where I was utterly alone was perhaps an experimental one that proved a success; look, Laura really is self-sufficient! At any rate, I was left the house to myself for the evening while both parents left work, went out to dinner, and ( Read more... )
