she’s come undone

Another Encounter With Evil

As some of you know, there has been a moth in my room this past week. For the most part I’ve managed to handle my insane phobia of bugs. It’s easier when there is another human in the room. At any rate, my roommate left for the weekend, which left me alone with Moth. I wasn’t sure where he was so I just wanted to make sure he wasn’t in my bed/pillows. I’m not sure where he came from, but he was suddenly out flying at me, which goes against everything everyone always says about bugs being more scared of me!

I made strange noises, ran backwards, and my blanket fell off the bed. The Moth was nowhere to be seen. I then realized the Moth could be under my blanket trapped. I freaked. I couldn’t leave the thing on the floor forever, but I didn’t want to pick it up. At some point I climbed onto my roommate’s bed (can’t remember why) and looked down and saw Moth just sitting on top of the blanket. Oh no he didn’t!

So now I’m trying to find something in the room to spray him with. Something toxic. But alas, nothing would reach the Moth. I then think to myself “why isn’t there any water?” Oh wait! I have a watter bottle, but it’s not very full and no way to ensure the water would hit Moth. Aha! I have a bucket! I put some water in the bucket, climb back onto my roommate’s bed (and got her blanket a little wet. oops!), and eventually fling the water out onto the moth. It took two splashes and some air freashner, but Moth stopped moving. The floor was soaked, obviously. I took the vacuum and sucked the Moth up, which was tramatic because the body flipped over and his legs stuck out and…it was freaky and I made more noises.

So now the Moth is gone, and I have no blanket to sleep under. But the Moth is gone!

Whee an update

Well! My dad finally got high speed internet…. Three days before I have to leave for U of A. But that’s ok! At least come winter break I won’t disappear from the internet. I also got him to buckle down and buy a wireless keyboard/mouse combo. Ahhh, now that’s nice! I hated the old setup; the mouse was always falling down, the keyboard made your fingers hurt.

I’ve been thinking of finally converting the MW site into a CMS. The thing is, is I’d have to find one that does just what I want and no more. But it can’t be so bare bones that I’d wish I had stayed with HTML.

I have a headache and that’s all.

So hot…

I just played an hour of DDR after a year of not playing…yeah I’m out of shape. And now my legs are starting to get sore. Bleh.

Last night while playing the Sims my computer crashed. I was so pissed off! So then I had to start all over with the skill building, and the job promotions, and Rand’s seventh kid being born. A boy, of course. That’s all the al’Thor’s seem capable of fathering these days.

I’ve discovered how the crickets are getting into the house: underneath the backdoor. My dad put some tape down there, but I doubt it’ll do anything. We have to wait until this weekend to put down a weather strip.

I’m kind of babbling if you can’t tell.

Oh, my grandmother Olivia wants me to come visit her one of these upcoming winters and learn to ski (or snowboard, which I would prefer). She talked about it in such a way, I get the feeling that it’s already been decided I’m going.

Still Here

First off, Kate, I found your lost comments! Wordpress marked them as spam for some odd reason. *blames Jan*

And now of course the serious stuff. Yes, my grandmother passed away on Sunday. She was not ill or sick, which is why my uncle and mother now want to see a lawyer. It was not a stroke. I was the last family member to see her alive. I was really upset at the time, but now I think I’m just in shock. I’m numb to the point where I have to remind myself she is in fact dead.

I did think of calling a few of you that day, or night rather. After we called 911 I thought of calling Kate for some reason I can’t recall. Then after being told she passed I thought of updating Niklas since I had told him she was being taken to the hospital. By the time I thought of calling Laura I was not in the right state of mind. It’s a good thing I didn’t call anyone, however, since I couldn’t talk and I hate people hearing me cry. Crying is such an awkward thing.

I was going to try and explain what happened that night, but I guess I’m not as ready as I thought.

A Look Inside Madness

Most of this post will probably be a big “…wha?” to people. But Jan makes posts all the time that make me go “…wha?” so I don’t care! I have broken it up, because…well that was an outline, actually.

The Dog War

This is so silly and stupid, but I feel I must write about so that one day I can continue to laugh.

On a forum I visit there is a certain member. About eight years older than myself, yet you would think they were ten years younger. They make posts not for advice (which is the whole point of said forum) but for..I don’t know. A pat on the back? Anytime another poster makes a response that disagrees with the topic or whatever, they soon find themselves getting chewed out. Now, ALL of their threads are basically the same crap over and over, and eventually even the top brass started to call them out on it. So, back in March our hero made a post stating that they were leaving this oh so evil forum. I actually believed them.

But nay! Withen a few weeks they were back, quietly, not speaking much. I thought, hey they’ve learned their lesson. Haha, how easily babes are fooled. I checked back into the forum after a couple of weeks of absence to see at least three (and maybe four) new threads by them. And I can’t help but wonder why. Why post on a forum when you know no one there agrees with your weirdo ways? They stated that they didn’t care what any of us thought, ok, then why ask us what we think?! I just don’t understand.

Actually, that’s not funny at all. Well, it was funnier reading the posts than talking about them. Oh, and where do the dogs come in? If you knew them, you’d understand. Oooooh cryptic!

phpBB 3

There was a time when I questioned my buying vBulletin. This was because the phpBB 3 beta was annoucned not that long after. However, where is it now? phpBB 3 is still not out, and I’ve been enjoying my vBulletin in the meantime. I don’t regret it. Sure, I hate hate hate the template system, but then, I hated phpBB’s too until I got (semi) used to it. In fact, there have been a few more security updates to phpBB 2 even in the short time I’ve switched over. And they still haven’t solved their image verification system! (ok turns out while I was writing this draft beta was finally released)

Random

Well! Um…. I like gtalk. I didn’t think I would like it, but now it’s all I use for IM. I also now like football. Not american football, the other one. And it has nothing to do with the fact that football players are so good looking and take their shirts off after the match is done. Nothing at all, Laura!

I’ve began a reread of WOT. How do those people do it?! I feel like ripping my eyelids out. Even the blessed Moiraine(May the Lady Moiraine keep you satisfied) acts the fool! But I’ll finish, even if I die trying.
