she’s come undone

July?!

I honest to god don’t mean to update only once a month. The months just go by so fast.

I haven’t been working on my Civilization mod for awhile, mostly because I’m trying to become better at the Warlords difficulty setting. Not that I have been playing all too much either recently.

I have begun my WOT reread. It’s not going too fast, or as fast as usual, but that might be because a) I’m not reading every day and b) when I do read I’m doing a more close-reading a là college cramming. The other problem might be out of the whole series New Spring and Eye of the World are books I’ve read more than the others.

Changed hosts. My new host uses DirectAdmin instead of cPanel, which might take some getting used to, but so far it is fine. One thing I really like is that each domain gets its own folder. With cPanel you needed WHM to do that, which usually cost more than regular cPanel. Even so, I still need to have a moiraine.meandraine.net subdomain for now, otherwise my redirect rule via .htaccess won’t work: it’ll just show an error page.

For some reason my vBulletin database is larger on this host than the last one. Don’t know why. Also, my disk usage meter has close to 40mb of data I can’t account for. I’ve waited a couple of days before sending in a ticket to ask about that. My other tickets (one for sales, others for transfer) have gotten answered nice and fast, so hopefully the same will be true here. So far, I am very happy with new host.

Also, MW forums aren’t down every 30 minutes. This is a nice change.

I’m kind of rambling here….

I need to find boxers for Elnore for two reasons: 1) It’s a part of her character, and 2) They’ll help keep her pants up. Caraline needs a new wig, and there is one girl who makes fur wigs that I like, but of course she is closed!

I want to go to Europe.

Apple Jacks

I’ve avoided talking about this because I don’t want to seem pushy or unprofessional; but I feel like I’m walking on eggshells, and I don’t like that. Posting on a forum isn’t going to kill you.

OK. That was a rant I made like, a week ago. I still agree with it, mind you, but I don’t care as much anymore. More important things like, food. I need to do my dishes so I can have some apple jacks. I hate dorm life! I like having a house with a kitchen right there when you need it. I have stolen plastic bowls from my roomie when I was too lazy to get dressed. *not ashamed*

This past weekend I went to my aunt’s wedding reception. Not much to say about that really. Jennifer got drunk and danced the night away; I was stressed out about work; dad didn’t understand why Mom didn’t want to come. Normal family affair. I think it’s safe to say CC is my fave cousin on my dad’s side. You just have to meet her to understand. Of course, she’s also my dad’s favorite, so it’s possible he just passed it down to me.

I walked seven miles to Target on Thrusday to get Knife of Dreams. It was worth it! So, I guess I’ll share my thoughts:

Siuan: I don’t really like her anymore, and haven’t for some time. She’s acting childish, which is something I dislike.

Thom: Well…I like Thom now. Just a little.

Aes Sedai in general: Acting like fools, and I can see why some fans dislike them as much as they do. The pillow friendship was a bit overkill, RJ.

Tarna: Likes boys?!

That’s about all I feel like writing. Other than I hope Min DIES.

Oh, and I bought Nightlife. Let the Sims drama begin!

It’s all in my head

Whenever I think about all the drama that happens on my forum, I’m amazed. Afterall, it’s not the biggest place on the block, so you’d think it’d be one of the most drama free. Ha! Maybe it’s just the type of fans Moiraine attracts? That’s a scary thought.

Oh wow. When did I start this entry? I don’t know because WP edited the timestamp. Anyway, it’s 3 AM and I figured, why not update?

Actually, that pretty much is the update. I find it hard to type and think at the same time. Hm…well I guess I can mention my freak out with a moth. Nah, no need to remind everyone I have bug issues.

I just realized I’m in my dead zone; 3 AM is always the hardest hour for me to be awake at. I can stay up until then, wake up after, but it’s the during that always does me in. I’m conflicted about going to bed or not. I’d rather not sleep at all, but I know that’s not possible. It’s just I have so much to do this weekend, that sleep seems less important.

I am mad at Des and Kate! Not that either of you will read this, although that gives me that much more freedom to claim to be mad. I mean, someone needs to entertain me at odd hours of the night. You would think all my int’l buddies would do so, or at least Kate who I used to think was int’l and tends to come on at 4 AM in the morning. You are both bad Galad fans!

Look at that, yelling at people I just said don’t read this.

Site woes

Well, I told Jan I’d update, so here I am!

I downloaded fireFTP and HATED it. I like the interface, but the transfer speed was just far too slow. Why do I need this program you ask? Well because I don’t have any FTP programs installed on my new laptop, and I needed to update Wordpress to 1.5.2. Ah yes, my new laptop. It’s a Toshiba Satellite and I loves it. It’s taken awhile to get used to the different keyboard layout (there’s only one Ctrl key, and the Windows key is in the top right instead of the bottom left).

Dropping that tangent, I spent a good part of yesterday working on MW new guestbook for the new layout that is not done yet so don’t ask! I finally got the guestbook working, although not quite how I originally wanted. It looks best on 1028+, but ok on 800. If anyone uses a smaller resolution, they’ll just have to deal. So, basically the only thing left is to make the banners for the site, forum, guestbook. As soon as I get ahold of the art I’ll get on that ASAP.

Finally, there was a minor scare over Niklas’ site. We wanted posts to appear in word bubbles and quickly realized neither of us knew how to do that. For now the posts will appear in bubbles sans the little pointy part that points to the user’s avatar.

In more random news, I’ve finally began season two of camwalt. The first episode is going to take awhile because of timeline issues. I’ve noticed the series is getting a tad more serious, and I’m nost sure I like that. For some reason whenever I think of camwalt I think of Kate who is IGNORING me, but I’m not mad. It might have to do with me still having to make her a CD. I’m almost done with it, Kate, really I am.

I had a blast with ice cream last Wednesday night. Bunch of people (mostly girls) and I went to Penguins. Tonight I’m going to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith again. I don’t know what time I’m going just yet. I’m hoping for the 7 o’clock show to avoid the date crowd. I’ll have to see when Ngoc Bich wants to go. *rambles*

For the most part things are going rather well, and Marie Girlie is rather pleased.

Almost there

I did my French final last night. It wasn’t too bad. I guessed on one question, because honestly, I reread the passage five times and there was no answer. The writing…eek. I’m horrible at spelling so I guessed at that too. ^^() When I turned it in, Virginie (the prof) handed me my roleplay grade. I received a 100/100, and apparently my prononciation was “très bien!”. That’s actually really good news because now I don’t have to have a fantastic final grade to maintain my B.

The New Spring comic is coming out in July. :sec: Whitney is suppose to order it for me (and pay for it, but that’s a minor detail). I’ve actually thought of doing it myself because I don’t want anyone in her family touching my copy. I want to be the only one! I’m such a loser nerd, but I don’t like finger prints on my stuff.

I need to stop surfing the web and study for my last final. Not to mention finish packing.
