I approve.

It also made me aware that I remember things a little better than I thought.

Me: "Don't you have to let Cloud get down in hit points before he hits his limit break?"

Maren: "Yeah."

It was cool. Find it. See it.

I went to Warriors and Warlords this weekend. I had an incredibly good time, and I got to cook for people. The camping arrangements went really smoothly; there wasn't anyone there that we had to referee and everyone remained civil. The shire has broken into two halves; the people that have been in the group for over 8 years, and the people who have ( Read more... )

So today I've been reminded again what a spectacle being in a girl's body can be sometimes. The teachers have been really cool at the tech about avoiding focusing on the fact that (to their perception) I'm a girl, and they treat me like they treat all the other guys. What got weird was I felt like I was being stared at, and turned around to find a ( Read more... )

So I started the Machine Tool classes at the tech on Monday. Yesterday I got my toolbox, and I realized that very little makes me happier than a good set of new, well working tools. A lot of the stuff was for testing for accuracy, but other stuff, like metal bluing and the ball pien hammer, is just cool to have. Today I learned how to make a chisel ( Read more... )

Today I ended up having to euthanize Joe. He had massive liver failure, and was not making any more red blood cells by the time that the vet tested his blood to see what was wrong. They thought at first that it was just stress. Because it was something that he might have already had when I got him, I might get another cat from the Humane ( Read more... )

So things are getting better little by little. My newest "accomplishment" is that I picked up 2 cats from the Humane Association in Eau Claire. Shannon floated me the loan, which was totally cool, and they were having a 2 for one special at ECCHA, so I picked a couple of cats that get along really well with each other, as well as pretty relaxed ( Read more... )

Today is the first day of Technical College. Mondays and Wednesdays are my long days; I go to school from 12pm to 8pm, with a one hour break at 4. I don't have any Friday classes; yay!

Things are still a little weird regarding the fire; people are helping out, but what I really need is for my financial aid checks to come through so that I can go ( Read more... )

is the end of it. It wasn't a bad Christmas, but I was taking things pretty hard, and asked to go home early. My dad had to pick me up, which makes me feel weird, 'cause I'm the one who usually drives. I think that if I could have found a way to get out of Christmas with the folks, then I should have. As it is, it's 7pm, and I'm home, so life is ( Read more... )

So here's the update on my crap. The Nintendo works! I was amazed. It just had a little bit of soot from smoke. Everything stayed intact. It was awsome.

I was allowed to move into Sean's place. I think it's the nicest place I've ever lived in. And lots of room. And I should be getting a bed on Saturday from my folks, which is also awsome.

My car ( Read more... )

So this has kind of been a busy weekend. On Saturday, I graduated. On Sunday, my apartment burned down. Apparently the guy next door had been smoking and fell asleep or something. The fire started in the back, and since my apartment was in the back, there isn't much left. I did manage to salvage two boxes; one of my dishes, and the other of the ( Read more... )
