Random thoughts I feel like getting out of my head.
No, Mirage. Go away. You never contribute anything these days, anyway.
Spider in footwear. This is, as far as I can tell, an open declaration of war. Okay, fine, spiders. War is what you want? War is what you get. I've talked my mother into bringing the vacuum out and I've started placing spider-killing objects strategically around the place. Get out while you still can.
I have written both of the requested letters and am now back to being bored. (Are you all sure you don't want one? Actually, it's turning into a group writing exercise, as one of the two has decided to write back, also as a character. Which is awesome in that, hey! More people writing! Yay! And also in that, ooh, mail for me that is not just people demanding money.)
If the water in my watch has not evaporated by now, it is not going to. I cannot go another day without a watch, I am losing my mind.
My PS2 can play blue disc games (for now). Apparently there are a lot of problems with them sometimes? I'd never heard of it, but then I only just obtained my first blue disc game, so there you go.
My brother refers to the Xbox and the Xbox 360 as the crapbox and the elitebox, respectively. This amuses more than it probably should.
HAVE INEXPLICABLE URGE TO PLAY ECCO:DoF IT IS NOT GOING AWAY HELP HELP HELP
Heroes season 3 comes out the same day as Supernatural season 4, and it occurred to me, upon learning this fact, that, despite how much I adore the first season, the second was not good, and the first half of the third may, in fact, have somehow been worse. (I stopped watching at the mid-season break. If they'd not had the break, I'd probably have kept on, but as it was, it was too not good for me to care enough to devote an hour of my night to it. Though apparently it picked back up a little.) I am retconning it in my head to have been a really good show and wouldn't it have been great if there's been more than the one season? And I don't care if that's immature.
NO MIRAGE I SAID GO AWAY and don't come back unless you actually have a plot. Honestly.
I went all backwards when I marked up the calendar for chores, which means when I cleaned the kitchen yesterday, I was doing Aniko's work. Oops. I've swapped them back, so now things are horribly messy and largely incomprehensible, but, well. There it is.
Was supposed to - wow train of thought derailment
Oh! Was supposed to have some Transformers toy-swap with someone, but she's apparently fallen off the face of the planet. Most curious. (No, this is not me being scammed. As far as I can tell, neither of us have shipped anything yet. If she mailed anything, it was either eaten by the postal service - to be fair, this is me and these things happen - or she sent it to the wrong address somehow. I've met her, anyway. Very nice person. Just dead now, perhaps.)
My trackpad is possessed or something, seriously, cursor, I am not touching the trackpad, so just stay where I left you. Sometimes I won't even be touching the computer and it just rockets off or starts scrolling wildly or something. Usually not a big deal, but when it suddenly decides I really want to be typing five or six lines up or down from where I was, it gets weird. Random words appearing or disappearing.
I just looked up the conversation with my brother wherein I told him about my possessed trackpad because I couldn't remember his suggestions for the problem, and we somehow went from fishing in FFXI to the trackpad (actually, that transition made sense) to passive-aggressive signage to (here's the really weird one) the costs of fruits and vegetables in England and the current conversion rate. And then back to fishing.
Doctor Who has gone and made Aniko ship' het (probably for the first time in years). I laughed perhaps more than I should have when she told me this.
Drama in the FFXI fanbase. SE being stupid and making what may be damaging decisions in how to deal with it. Siding with fanbase because, seriously SE, what the hell are you thinking? It looks good on paper, but it does not work. See: Has SE banned logic? (general consensus is YES.) It's like the Great Account Hijacking of 2007/2008 - OR WAS IT 2008/2009 OH GOD I CANNOT REMEMBER my brother thinks it was 08/09 but that doesn't feel long enough ago - only this time it's SQUARE ENIX and it's PERMABAN. (Well, not always permanent, but often enough, and even when it's not, people can have a hard time getting themselves back in.) Every time I log in, I hold my breath.
On the other hand, the gardening update/nerf (depending on your point of view) is, in my opinion, a pretty good idea. Though ninety days does seem a little extreme. Could probably cut it to a month, though ninety also seems to be one of their default numbers, so. Either way, I'm considering it a good move on their part. Now if only they could do something about all the error-ridden bot /tells from gil-selling sites.
I want to play A Moogle Kupo d'Etat. Should probably just buy it, already.
Do not need to charge batteries because I FINALLY REMEMBERED TO AND I HAVE A WORKING CAMERA AGAIN YAY YAY YAY
Have strange urge to cosplay. The local anime convention isn't until the end of October, and last I knew, it was pretty lame, but I guess we'll see what's up when the date rolls around. Maybe I'll just ask Mom to bring out my Quistis outfit and stare at it for a few minutes, or try and dig up some photos of myself on the internet (I know they're out there. Too many people took pictures for there not to be) because I am pretty sure this is mostly just some heavy-duty nostalgia going on.
I can pick up a book I've read half a million times and read - actually read, not skim - through the entire thing in an afternoon, but am still incapable of reading anything new. Puzzling. (Even books I'm enjoying! I read a chapter and then wander off. WHAT IS THIS?)
I CAN EAT REAL FOOD AGAIN. Now if only I can get people to stop telling me I look like I've lost weight. Yes, I've lost weight, I was sick for a flipping month. You knew that already.
My mother bought a Prius. It's dark grey. They got rid of the gold Mercury Villager we've had for the past.... uh. While. Almost ten years. I feel bad for the thing, but it really was a mercy killing.
I'm not sure if my teeth hurt because I haven't been able to wear my retainer for a month (it aggravates my throat for some reason) or because I have a cavity somewhere. I rather desperately hope it is the former, as I absolutely cannot afford to have my teeth treated right now. And the Health Care For Poor People program doesn't cover dental, so even if I were finished getting that set up, there'd be no help. (I absolutely cannot believe I am being charged $60 a month for a service I cannot even access yet. Well, yes I can. But that doesn't stop it from making me really, really annoyed.)
Need to reach instructor and figure out how to get all this paperwork in. Bleh. Also need to decide if I'm actually going to take classes next semester. (A semester off might be nice... If I can find work.)
Need to stop doing things that emotionally wound me on a physical level. That really shouldn't hurt as much as it does. Ugh. Ugh. Angst.
Still debating further hair cutting. Shoulders? Maybe a bit longer? Maybe a bit shorter, if we can do something fancy with it to make it not start sticking straight out to the sides?
Freakishly tired these days. No idea why.
And, finally, half the keys on my keyboard aren't working. Jus fr fun, I won' g back ad add n ay o the mssing letts in this sntene. And half of those only turned up because I've started hitting the keys harder than normally necessary. TIME TO CLEAN. Or the spiders are also in the keyboard, in which I suppose it is time to nuke this place from orbit with pest killer. (SERIOUSLY, MY DAMNED SHOE? I HAVE A LINE AND THAT LINE IS, APPARENTLY, APPAREL.)
Edit:
Have apparently forgotten how to make a cut.
