It's late and I should be asleep!

I have no excuse for this post! It is late and I should be in bed and asleep, but instead I am awake and alternating between pounding text into a word document and Not Dying in FFXI, which is probably why I am now going to be gleeful about FFXI at anyone silly enough to read my deranged ramblings.

( Cut! )

Also, today my conversations over AIM with my brother included this:
[19:48] THE BROTHER: ... i just heard clarkson singing karaoke
[19:49] THE BROTHER: it was the most terrible thing ever

I laughed.

Too much text.

They keep turning the radio at work either off or down far enough that it can barely be heard. Maybe they switch between the two, because I can be standing in the same spot doing the same activity and suddenly hear music. Then it will fade out again. Whatever. It's odd.

Because the part of my brain I often use to keep myself entertained during the long and boring hours has, lately, been spewing out ideas that worry me, I've been forced to resort to introspection (which is probably something I spend too much time doing, anyway). But I reached a few worrying conclusions tonight!

The following is rather disjointed. It's mostly stream-of-consciousness, but with the random detours into, "SHUT UP, CAT," and, "oooh, wait, have I checked for an update yet today?" and such cut out.

( Reenacting that policy of mine... )

My mother is off to visit my brother right now. She's not been gone for a day, but the animals are determined to be as annoying as possible in her absence. I am ready to put the cat through the window. I love her dearly, but even I can only take her following me around and meowing incessantly for so long. She doesn't want to play, she doesn't want to go out, she doesn't want food or water, her litter box is clean, there isn't another cat on the porch...

He asked me to pack up his PS2 so she could bring it to him, along with God of War II, since that's the only game he owns that he hasn't played through yet. I sent him my FFXII and Jak and Daxter, as well, even though I haven't played through FFXII yet. It is too much like FFXI and it drives me up the wall. I will beat it someday. I just do not know when.
