WELL, SEE YA.

I don't know what's been up with Dad lately, but suddenly he's mad at me for a bunch of unknown reasons. Right now he's literally doing some kind of rant that I'm not really listening to but I'm p sure he's telling me I'm going to be homeless and that I'm making everyone miserable or something... I don't know. But it's been really annoying have to come up here all the time with everyone being a douche constantly...

I mean, it was bad enough they keep making me do chores and kicking me off the computer when I'm in the middle of something important, but then they tell me I have a two-hour limit (they never actually activated that thing, but still. the principle of the matter), they forbid me from talking to my girlfriend, apparently they were messing around in my Windows account because Dad found some picture from years ago and was really adamant that I delete it immediately... I used to be able to tolerate this crap because this is the only house I have Internet access at, but now I can't take it anymore.

And apparently I got my wish, because suddenly Dad decided to wake me up and tell me I can't come back until I get a job. I don't know what brought this up again, but yeah. I don't know how many times I have to tell everyone I can't work but nobody ever shuts up about it. It's really annoying. But now I have no way of doing all my Internet stuff, which... well that's basically all I do. So now I have nothing to do. Ever again. Unless of course I manage to get a laptop, but I'll never get enough money, so. Yeeeaah...

tl;dr i'm screwed

AAAGH HURRY HURRY

Dad put a two-hour limit on my Internet so I'mma have to hurry this up.

Anyway, my birthday was okay. I got Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness, Yellow Submarine, and Please Please Me. Also my girlfriend called and sang Happy Birthday, which was the best thing ever.

I also got a haircut. Now my hair's all short and curly and I look like a little girl.

Did some work at the apartment's. Made aboot 20 bucks but Joyce hasn't paid me yet.

Another of my cats died. It was French Fry this time. I'm pretty bummed aboot that.

Nanny threw away my Dixie cup and Mom threw away my larping stick. Also pretty pissed aboot these things.

I need to find a way to talk to my girlfriend because my phone is out of minutes and as I said, I have a two-hour limit now. So fffffff

These are out of chronological order. I seriously don't have time to be putting them in order. AAAGH BYE

HARD-DRIVE HAVOC?

What have I been up to for the past fortnight? Welp, week one was mostly filled with swimming in Joyce's pool because we've had a pretty bad heat wave hitting us lately. I really hate swimming with my biological family, though. They're constantly yelling at me because I can't swim, which, I mean, a lot of people can't swim. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Plus they keep splashing water in my eyes, forcing me to have to blindly feel my way over to the ladder to climb up and get my towel. But luckily nobody dunked me underwater and filled my lungs with water like last year. I'm still keeping my guard up, though.

Another thing that bugs me aboot my family (and this isn't limited to just the pool) is their racism. One of AO's inflatable pool toys had a hole in it, and Mom scoffed and commented that it's "Made-in-China crap". Seriously, my family does this all the time. Whenever we go shopping, they look where products are made and then make stupid racist comments about China or Taiwan or whatever. Even the time Joyce took me laptop shopping, she looked at a Toshiba laptop and embarrassed the crap out of me by asking the floorwalker to show us American-made laptops. I want to slug everyone in my family so bad.

Joyce, Wendy and AO went on vacation to Wildwood, New Jersey for most of the second week, so me, Mom and Steve had to take care of her dog and the stray cats she feeds. I didn't really mind this. Gave me something to do other than play Digimon World 2 and watch Futurama (incidentally, the new season is great so far). Mom was also given a wild rabbit by one of our distant relatives, so I guess now we have a rabbit.

Also of interest is that my birthday is approaching. September first. Yup. I'm hoping for new CDs, but it'd be great if instead, everyone would chip in a little money to get me a laptop, because I gave up on buying one myself. There's no way I'll ever be able to afford one ever. Unfortunately nobody was too keen on this idea for some reason.

But yeah. I took my laptop savings and bought an external hard drive, which I still would've needed anyway. I'm actually in the process of setting it up as I'm typing this. I managed to transfer all my files from my flash drives to it, but now I have to rip over 60 CDs and stick them on there. Oh, joy. Ah well. Had to be done sometime.

In other news, I'm still psyched for multiple things. TMBG's new album, more new episodes of Futurama, Pokémon Black & White Versions, hopefully a new season of The Office at some point (next year, maybe?), and of course my afforementioned birthday.

LAPTOPS

So I've mostly been trying to find a good laptop. My aunt took me to a few places like Best Buy, OfficeMax, etc., but sadly all the good ones are like 600-800 dollars, and I only have 300 or so. So pfft. But I did notice that EVERYTHING comes with Windows 7, a DVD drive, wireless Internet and most have built-in webcams. That's pretty much all the stuff I want, so cool. But Thom says I'm supposed to get an i5 Core and 4 GB DDR3 memory or something. There were a few with the memory but I haven't seen an i5 yet. Everything's i2 or i3. So then I was considering looking on eBay for one I could afford, 'cause Dad said I can use his bank account, but I don't wanna go through all that verification crap. I wish you could just mail checks or money orders or whatever. ;_;

Also I've been baking a lot. First I made chocolate chip cookies, then I made cherry pudding (which, as it turns out, is not pudding but rather a cake with chunks of cherry in it), then cherry pie (which I ruined by making the filling too liquid-y), then sugar cookies, then more chocolate chip. As you can tell, we have more cherries than we know what to do with, 'cause we have a cherry tree in our yard.

Hm.

So... even though I love Anna, sometimes I also develop side-crushes on other people, too. It's probably a bad idea to go out with someone while Anna's the only thing on my mind, but I can't really help it. Plus it's not like anyone would want to go out with me anyway. But yeah.

It's just... it really sucks being alone like this, especially when I'm constantly forced to watch/listen to other couples' happiness, and sometimes I wish I could have, like, a temporary girlfriend. Just until Anna loves me. But then I quickly realize that that would be really cruel to the other girl. I mean, I know there's a such thing as friends with benefits, but that's not really what I'm talking aboot. I don't really care all that much aboot sex (surprise!), I just... wish I had someone to do little romantic things with, like cuddling or just talking or whatever.

I dunno. Whatever. I guess my patience will pay off? Maybe? Except I'm really, really impatient. So yeah.

EDIT: Unrelated, I just realized that maybe Anna SHOULDN'T know aboot this, lest she have it shut down like the Facebook group. Hm. :s

OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ

So yeah. Just got back from two weeks at home. It was a fairly action-packed two weeks, even as soon as I got back from my last stay at Dad's. Like, literally, as soon as I got home, my damn half-sister informed me that one of my cats died. Nice way to greet me.

From there, though, things started to look up. Sort of. If you recall, I've been working on my aunt's apartments. Well, I worked on them even more. Joyce and Wendy decided to go on vacation, leaving me, Mom and Steve to finish up the last apartment and also take care of their sick dog. At one point Mom locked her keys in their hoose and I had to break into their window to retrieve them. It was actually pretty fun.

In return for my services, I made $353.13, but so far I was only actually paid $200. Also I was SUPPOSED to have made another hundred bucks, but Joyce Americaned me out of that by giving me a McDonald's gift card and a savings bond in lieu of payment. I was hoping to buy a laptop, but now I can't afford one. The gift card did get a lot of use, though. Mmm, frappés.

Once Joyce and Wendy got back, we started fixing their pool. And we completed it. So when I go home again I'll probably go swimming. Or, well, wading, since I can't swim. But yeah. That was my two weeks.

Skitty and Captain play with a ball

ANOTHER VACATION!

Yeah, I didn't really intend to be gone this long, but my aunt was paying me by the hour to help fix up one of her apartments, so I was trying to get in as many hours as possible. I got up to 46.5 hours. I hope to buy an external hard drive with my payment, which is somewhere between 300 and 400 USD. 'Cept I'm getting screwed out of $75 of it, because my aunt insists on giving me a gift card and savings bond in lieu of payment. Hopefully $200 is enough... but if not, there's still another apartment after this one's finished. :)

The apartment was really the main thing that happened, but there was a brief period of time where I had TWO Nintendo DSes. See, Amber loaned me hers because she wanted me to play her Pokémon HeartGold and get her some progress and stuff, but mainly I just used it to trade Pokémon from my Diamond to my SoulSilver. Also I finally lived out my dream of playing video games CONSTANTLY, by always keeping one DS on the charger and one in my hand. When my battery runs out, I just swap out for the other. Except then I had a constant headache for a couple weeks until Amber took her DS back. But still. Worth it.

Also, the weather has SUCKED. At one point I noticed it was 98 degrees Fahrenheit. My solution? Get nekkid, turn the AC on full blast, eat/drink frozen things, and use cryokinesis to lower the temperature in the surrounding area. But even with all this, I was sweating bullets. Terrible, terrible. One of the reasons I hate summer. Another reason is bees. They're EVERYWHERE.

The only good thing aboot summer is the sprouting of those weird, puffy white flowers that people blow and wish on. I like to grab a stick, pretend it's a katana, and run around chopping them in half. Horizontally, of course. But man, it's been years since I really did a full-assed LARP. I don't really have it in me anymore... I mean, I'm out of breath after only a handful of slashes. Might not help that I sometimes do aerial attacks too.

There was also a noteworthy event a couple days ago. I looked out the window and saw that Captain (one of my cats) was playing with a bird. I tried telling him to stop, but he didn't really listen. So then I got a stick and a bucket and long story short, pushed the bird into the bucket. I then brought the little dude/chick into the hoose, and Nanny told me to just kinda leave it there for a while. So I did. Then we checked on it again a little later, and Nanny told me to dump it out of the bucket onto the carpet and see what it does. We were kinda expecting it to die from its injuries, but apparently it wasn't too injured because as soon as I tipped the bucket over it started flying around the hoose.

Unable to catch the bird, we waited until the next day to call Steve in to get the job done. Meanwhile, I put out some bread and a saucer of water for it, which it seemed to enjoy. It also enjoyed crapping everywhere. But, after a long night of guarding my eyes from being pecked, Steve finally captured the bird and released it outside. The end.

Also, I made a lot of lattés and apparently a possum lives in our yard.

meh

Nothing really new's going on, but I wanted to make a post anyway.

Apparently Anna had a cold or something, but as far as I know she's okay now.

BACK FROM MY INTERNET VACATION.

That was just what I needed. Although I became anxious to get back online during the last week or so, I wanted to stay home to get Pokémon SoulSilver and get some free Italian ice at Rita's. I did both things!

You can probably imagine I've been playing Pokémon like the wind. Indeed, it only took me aboot four days to get all sixteen badges, defeat Red, etc. The only thing I still haven't figured out is where Eusine and Suicune ran off to after Vermilion City. And are those new islands from FR/LF in this game? I dunno. But I've already got my hands full with the Battle Frontier anyway, so.

BORED WITH THE INTERNET.

Yeah. I asked Dad if I can head back home tomorrow. It's cool with him, so I guess that's the plan! Oh, don't worry, I'll be back online in a week or two. But right now, I'm bored with the 'net. Nothing left to do now that I finished all my tasks (revamping the content of my iPod AGAIN and jotting down some Pokémon notes). Plus I have a task I need done back at my other house, so. Yeah.

In other news, my current obsession is Final Fantasy VII (see icon). I've been playing the PC version, but it's tough using a keyboard in lieu of a controller. I'm not very coordinated with my fingers, so things like the motorcycle and snowboarding mini-games are pretty tough for me since I can't really press the right keys in time. Heck, I can't even type properly. I'm one of those people who has to hunt each key down one-by-one. Though, admittedly, I can find them pretty fast.

But yeah. Heading home tomorrow.

(Does anyone even read this?)

STOP BEING EMO, NICK

Yeah, yeah. I know. Half the time when I'm negative I seem emo, and the other half when I'm positive I come off as creepy and the bad kind of insane. Welp, prepare for the latter.

Recently I've been feelin' pretty good. It may have something to do with me taking an interest in Catholicism the other day. Looked up incorruptibility (pretty cool) and infallibility of the church, and other cool Catholic stuff like that. Of course, as far as I know I'm Protestant, but that doesn't stop me from using Catholic principles that make sense to me, does it?

Well anyway, after doing this, I've felt less emo and stuff. More confident, even. Not in the bad vain way, though. But yeah. I also kinda get this vibe that maybe God's rewarding me for being extra religious lately by aiding me in my quest for Anna's love or something. I dunno. Maybe. But yeah!

Also, happy birthday Anna! (She's 17 today.) <3

V-Day and a B-day

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day... yet another time I should be spending by pampering Anna, but of course life's cheated me out of that, hasn't it? Plus, her birthday is on the 18th... She's gonna be 17. Missing her birthday is even worse than missing V-Day... Sigh...

I know, I know. I'm trying to stay optimistic and all, but still... it really sucks having to miss all these special events. ;_;

In unrelated news, I really really wanna have a baby. But that's nothing new.

a video tour of my room

THERE'S TOO MUCH TO SAY SO I'MMA NOT SAY MUCH

Was offline for a few weeks, if you hadn't noticed already.

Things I did:

*Did some painting at my aunt's apartment and made $118 and a $50 McDonald's gift card
*Went to Park City and bought a few CDs
*Played a LOOOOOT of Wii with my half-sister
*Re-played pretty much every Final Fantasy ever
*Finally picked up Pokémon Diamond again in preparation for HG/SS next month
*Went to McDonald's a lot; consequentially had a lot of Angus burgers and coffee
*Filmed new videos. One can be found here
*Lol'd at the blizzard that hit us, then took it back when the 2-3 ft. of snow made it hard to walk around outside

Currently:

*Waiting anxiously for Pokémon HG/SS and more info on gen 5
*Waiting for Valentine's Day, even though I will do nothing to celebrate it
*Also waiting for March 15th, which is the first day of the March lunar cycle. On this particular day, according to Wikipedia, I can make a homunculus. So I'm gonna give it a shot, as long as I can find a black hen.
