Wallflowers – One Headlight

It’s cold in here! We were so lazy yesterday, I never even bothered getting dressed, hehe…. usually I at least take a shower and sometimes get back into pajamas, but I didn’t even get that far. It’s going to be such a pain getting back into a normal sleep schedule, I really didn’t want to get up this morning, and now I keep rationalizing why I should go back to bed.. blankets so warm… out here so cold… need sleep because I have a cold…

I am actually making progress on that Wheel of Time site… I keep realizing that I really suck at design, or maybe it’s just that I look at the page so much when I’m making it that it looks bad just to me? I dunno, I get so frustrated! If I was just more of an artist I could create some really cool stuff with the html I know, bleh, I hate being so artistically challenged. And I really do feel the need to finish this page since a fellow Wheel of Time fan is counting on me to finish it. Me and my big mouth for telling him I was working on it, hehe.

My Aunt Elaine called me yesterday afternoon, that was nice %) I love talking to her. She’s really excited about us going up to stay with her for Thanksgiving, I guess my Uncle Dan is happy too… I haven’t seen him in a couple years and he was afraid I hated him like most of the family does. See I lived with my Uncle Dan a few years ago when I first moved out of my parents house, I didn’t stay long ’cause I was stupid and decided to move out and move in with my jerk boyfriend at the time. Anyway, my uncle and I were pretty close until then… luckily he finally forgave me for my stupidity and we were on good terms again. Then last year he left his wife and 2 kids, and moved to Las Vegas to meet and later marry a woman he met online. Of course I loved his former wife, my “aunt” Gail, and my cousins Kelly and Scott… and I didn’t think they deserved this desertion, so I was upset with my uncle, like most of the family was… but then I thought about it, about how much my uncle was there for me, and how much my family has done for me to help me out of bad situations in the past and I realized that I really do love my uncle, despite what he has done, and I couldn’t do anything but forgive him.

Anyway, the phone call with my aunt. It was nice talking to her, sometimes I feel so stranded out here in Philadelphia… I always love it when my family calls. Reminds me that the world outside my daily life still exists and I have lots to be happy about, or something. I guess my ‘Uncle’ Sean is going to be at thanksgiving dinner too (a crazy story there too, my ma’s family is all *divorce and remarry* every few years, I dont even know if my Uncle Sean is still my uncle!)… it should be a nice little vacation %) My aunt is planning all this stuff she wants to do while we are up there, hehe, and since we will only be there 3 days or so we won’t get to do half of it of course…

*Yawn* I am rambling …

So I just tried to log into barnes and noble’s affiliate site, so I could get started on working on my little “Store” of books that’ll reside with my book review section of my site… and apparently this Affiliate site is powered by “Be Free, Inc” (befree.com) … but they make you use mozilla, netscape or IE. How free is that? Hee… I should be used to this crap by now, but it’s just frustrating because I have a seriously bare bones system at the moment because I am expecting my new hardware anytime soon, so I only have Opera (I wouldnt want to compile mozilla on my current system anyway, it’d take days, and netscape sucks). So I guess I’ll have to wait to work on that until I get my new computer parts, bleh.

I started chatting in another room on OPN (err freenode now, hehe)… turns out a friend of mine from #13thHour (on clockbot.net) chats on freenode too, and we didn’t realize each other were there until Myk said something about chatting there, so now I’m in this big room of debian users, they all seem pretty nice (I got warnings from my friend about some of the more “sarcastic” chatters). I dunno, I really said I would limit my chatting so I could focus on more work, but I just cant help it %( This past week I couldnt focus much on work since Myk was home, so I did lots of chatting, and when I got bored I ended up going to ANOTHER server to chat with a friend of mine who owns it, and I just stayed there… luckily his server is not too populated, so I wont get distracted *much* And he did give me IRCops, and offered a place on his development team for his IRCD … how could I be so ungreatful and leave now? Yay rationalization!

/join #IRCAddicts

Yeah, so I’m gonna go work on some stuff noew AND NOT CHAT, hee *wanders off*
