I really will fix these comments someday.

I got back from Chicago yesterday. Marina wasn't home when Liz and I went down there. We're both going to try calling her later. (Damn, I wish Liz didn't live all the way in fucking Honolulu at times like this.)

Anyway. I came back, went out with Ciara and Nancy to look at things we can't afford, and so forth. Then I installed my shiny new copy of Photoshop, and promptly went back to using Paint Shop Pro. Maybe I'm a loser, but I don't really like Photoshop thus far.

I know how to make the comments work. But I don't feel like messing with them right now, because this is my post-Christmas rant, seeing as I finally have my first computer time in three days at the relatives' homes.

My cousin is apparently in family disgrace. No one would say why. I'm going to go and see her later today if I can get out of the house long enough... I know that my grandmother will have a conniption about me wandering Chicago, never mind that I've lived here longer than the cousins that she sends to the store alone to get things. I guess the fact that I no longer live there automatically means I know nothing about it. You know. My mom thinks I should go, though. She would go, but they would all miss her there. If my grandmother gets too bitchy, I'll take Liz with me. She wants to know what's going on, too, and she's the only sane one in this entire family. Damn Irish Catholics.

I'm going. I'll have to finish this later.

Tip of the day: if using an aspirator, DO NOT HOOK UP THE WATER TUBE TO THE THING. The lab group next to me in Orangic Chem II/Lab did that yesterday, and there was water ALL OVER. Granted, one of them is an absolute idiot who broke a mercury thermometer last week. His lab partner wants to switch and pair up with me (my partner dropped the class, so I work alone) to get something done. ^^;;

Comments are still not working. I'll mess with them later... apparently, I'm not the only person having trouble making them work with pitas, though.

Okay, so my comments are not working properly, after all, and I didn't realize it until after I got a comment. --;

Alarm clock failed to go off this morning, and my mother doesn't get up for work until eleven (she works 1-8 PM), so I didn't waken up until eleven. My lunch starts at 10:54, and that's the cutoff between a half-day and full-day absent (don't ask me why), so I just stayed home and played Xenogears. And wanted to hack Ramsus and Miang into little pieces, because if they don't care who's in control of Aveh, why the hell do they have such a problem with Bart being the King? Because if they'd just let him, I wouldn't have to play two or three different assaults on Bledavik, and we could get on with the plot.

I guess that's just another mystery of Xenogears. Like Sigurd's save-point feng shui. (What other explanation is there for so many save points on the Yggdrasil?)

Now to attempt to fix my comments links.

I have decided that Harry Potter fandom scares me. Slash fandom, in particular. Honestly, at least the little fifteen-year-olds that write Harry/Hermione and other strange, strange pairings can find something nice to say about a story. I'm afraid to write HP slash for fear of being thrown to the wolves. I mean, I have a more than decent command of English, I know the canon, and I made a five on the AP English Language and Composition test, so I obviously have at least some basic writing skills, and I'm still freaked out by these writers. ^^;;

I need a new fandom. I'm getting sick of my current ones, HP scares me, and the thought of getting into X fandom... *shudder* ... X fandom is a mess from what I've seen, people fighting all over the place. So I'll stick to reading the occasional story and not writing it. Saiyuki, maybe. Kenren and Tenpou, mmmm.

The guy living next door to us fell off his roof this morning. It was odd. o_O (He's okay, just a broken leg, but the crash was awful. We all thought he'd died or something.)

I should probably be reading Beowulf now, so I don't flunk the quiz on English on Monday. Damn Anglo-Saxons and Danes and their stories that I have to read. I think I'll go and pretend I can read my old issues of Hanayume instead. Since I'm sick of fighting with the stupid battle system in Xenogears. --;


02:35 p.m. on Sunday, November 24, 2002

Went to see Harry Potter today. I liked it better than the first one, even if Godric Gryffindor's sword looked like a cheap plastic prop. ^^;; (Mmm, Alan Rickman... and whomever played Lucius Malfoy... and Sean Biggerstaff....)

So not going to make 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo, but that means I can put my attention back on things people actually want to read, like Ayashi no Yuugi. I'll finish this novel someday. Just not during November. Damn you, effeminate men of Xenogears and Suikoden, for distracting me. --;

Need to work on my website... need to find a decent place to put my website that's not going to eat it. I need money to buy a domain, but I'm going to go and buy Suikoden II tomorrow, because I suck and spend all of my money on video games. The sad part is that they're all old video games that normal people played four years ago that I'm just now getting to.

In other news, my life is uneventful. Almost blew myself up in Organic Chem II yesterday, but I was expecting that. I mean, it's a lab class. My lab partner dropped, too, so I ended up causing explosions all by myself. (Ah, well, I didn't like her, anyway. She was the type that would expect her partner to do all of her lab reports for her... I got stuck with her in Advanced Chem, too. Damn alphabetical order.)

That reminds me, I need to make a voodoo doll of my counselor. She claims that after taking Advanced Chemistry, Chem II, Organic Chem, and Organic Chem II/Lab, I will be ready for the Chemistry AP class. Why I could not have simply taken Advanced Chem and then the actual AP class is beyond me, but apparently this woman sees the logic in it. I could have made up Physics I, which I did horribly in, seeing as I'm totally inept with physics.

This is just a test entry, to make sure that this thing is working right. I was going for a really complicated horrible layout, but I stopped in favor of recycling an old website layout so I could go and play Xenogears.

Now watch as this thing blows up when I attempt to get comments links. Eh heh.

No links as of yet. None of my friends blog. :/
(What's the proper ettiquete for linking a blog I read, anyway?)
