The news just keeps getting better! More Serene as well. I particularly have interest in seeing this one continue

Oh, do you now??? hehe....

Well, its not an IMMEDIATE material thats going to be written.

Sethyas will be finished before I even go around worrying about that new one.

Ahhh excellent my friend....excellent!


btw I'm going to my brother tonight, we're gonna have a big fat party.....yayy!

New episode of House in a bit.

School is going so damn slow now... last semester, a month seemed like a day.

Of course, now I can't get enough sleep even if I sleep 8-10 hours. I'm just exhausted from school. It's crunch time in school now in pretty much all my classes. I have a painting due a week in AP Studio Art... we're picking up in speed in AP Calculus... we have tons more to cover in AP Chemistry... and we're speeding up our poetry unit in AP English Lit and Comp. The increased pace, however, has just made it seem like it's screeched to a hault. I'm going to try ultra-hard this semester to make all A's and pass my exams.

I also have to pick my pace up in my Network+ book so I can complete the book before the end of May. *sigh* So much to do.

I'm ready to go to college, live on my own. Just so tired of this damn town and its people.

I'm hoping the obnoxious pseudogoth bigot doesn't join the Young Democrats club I'm in... it's probably for her own good if she doesn't. If she spouts any of her quasi-neo-Nazi crap she'll end up with everyone there, including the sponsor, hating her. She's racist and extremely homophobic. Even the kids in there that don't agree with gay marriage would probably find those traits disgusting. I've never met such a coward as to go behind her black and gay friends' back and talk crap about them and how much she hates them because they're X.

[Lord Revan]

Well, there been some good and bad...... *takes deep breath* On one hand, I got my braces off (yahoo!!!) and have moved on to retainers (painful, but I think I'll cope). Also I've moved from my old room to a much darker (good point) room and a new bed.

Then the bad begins that at Tenek's house: I fell off of one of his rip-sticks (new scateboard model) and I might have broken my left elbow (for the third time in my life/ at least I'm not in a bunk bed anymore). This semester hasn't been anything different than the last, probably due to the fact that all of my courses were year-long highschool (end of the summer I'll be there!) credit.

Mas o menos, life is still good overall, what with only one fully mobile arm and a painful new tortu- erm, dental device on my teeth.

[Zarrexaij]

Ugh, today, I felt awful. Well, I currently feel awful. I had a headache and I feel like I'm going to vomit.

Haven't had dinner. Mother just got home. Should have cleaned dishes, but I had a horrible headache.

[stargelman]

I had surgery today. I'm feeling a little dizzy from the painkillers, and it still hurts, but it's ok. Everything went smoothly and I should be up and about again soon. Luckily it was ambulant so they shipped me home a few hours after the operation. Now I'm sitting here on my bed, trying not to move anything and just waiting for something interesting to happen. Since I'm very far away from the screen, I sometimes have to use binoculars to even see anything, but luckily my web browser has a pretty well-working zoom functiion.

On that note, people, if you think something is wrong with you, don't wait to see a doctor, go right away. The not-knowing will cause you no end of stress, and it usually does NOT get better on it's own. It certainly wouldn't have with what I had, quite the contrary. I'm glad I went to have surgery right away while it was still easily managable!

[milanius]

Painkillers, eh? Hardcore you are, like MC Max Payne, the Dealer of Death.

Another day, another late shipment from HQ. This time, thank god, I left with 2 last people, and we locked up. Why 'thank God' you may ask? Well, I always feel a sting of guilt when I go home at 6 [work hours is to 5 ] and other people, storagers and techies, are still there. No such trouble this time, even our boss, who was all day with his ill mom in some spa, said "OK, this can wait until tomorrow, really". Thank God I work with nervous, but normal people.

Although, I'd love to live in a land where every overtime hour of work is paid...

[The Metal Mallet]

Jeez, has everyone died or something? Where's the chatter!? Chat it up people!

My week was a mix of good and bad. The awesome was the fact that I went to a sweet concert that had All That Remains headlining with Chimaira, Divine Heresy, and Gone Hollywood. It was an awesome show and I got to hang out with some friends I haven't seen in a little while.

The bad was basically yesterday since I planned to go to my college for the Extra Lab so I could catch up on some labs I still need to finish. Thing is I basically slept through my alarm and now my labs are considered late... ohwell.

I'm particularly excited for my birthday this year despite the fact that it's on a Monday. Sunday night I'm going to a Clutch concert and I'm trying to get as many of my friends to come to it as possible.

[treydog]

Still alive here.... Can't surf as much in my new job. Or rather, I can still surf, but I can't post. And then, too, I have lately been burning up the roads of upper E. Tenn. going to Kingsport, Johnson City, and Blountville last week. We are surplusing old PCs and have to run a utility called KillDisk to ensure that they don't contain any sensitive data. Lots of things can be done remotely, but this is a hands-on process. It's kind of fun- I get 46 cents a mile for using my own vehicle. And my dad was born in Kingsport- other family was in Johnson City, Bristol, and other towns up that way. Hope everyone is doing well.

[Zarrexaij]

I got myself back to addicted to a site I dare not mention (starts with an n and ends in an s).

It's time for me to start picking out some dates of new student orientation. It feels like forever until then, though.

Last week was full of frustrations and things to make me angry. The person I didn't like joined Young Democrats, and a person in my CIS class has been making me very miserable. What's new? Nothing, really.

[blockhead]

I have not been posting much because not much ES-related is occurring in my life. I have been working on fiction but a distraction (another game, a multi-user online game, eep!)[1] has emerged that has cut into that. This is a bad thing. I'm trying to reduce this distraction and get back to my fiction writing. I have some stories in progress, but the main one now is a an elder scrolls story. You'll get to see and learn more about some familiar (heh heh) characters ... if I can only get the story to not suck ... and if only I can get it finished. Because it is largely original material, not a retelling of a game or plugin story, I have to get it entirely (well, mostly) finished before I start posting. There is not a strong plot but I am hoping that the characters will make up for this.

Yesterday, for the first time in a while, I played several hours of Morrowind. It was good to be back. I think 20 years in the future, when linux and windows are both long obsolete, I'll still be playing Morrowind in an emulated machine ... maybe then I'll finally get a decent frame rate.

what else ...?

Oh yeah: Back in x-mass I received a Barnes & Noble gift card. I eventually got around to using it and ordered a DVD set: the complete Buck Rogers series! yay! When it arrived, one DVD was scratched. Poop. I contacted their returns department and at first they indicated that exchange for another copy was an option (good!)... but then said they were no longer in stock on that item and most likely would never be. Feh!

Zarrexaij: you now have me now dying of curiousity: to what site do you refer???

Milanius:

I'd love to live in a land where every overtime hour of work is paid...

Me too. :/

I'm still reading this, but just kinda skim reading so I don't really absorb much, I am fairly busy with 2 jobs (need to apply soon for a 3rd) plus other commitments. But been fairly good otherwise.

[minque]

It's strange...ppl actually have more than one job? I have quite enough with my single one! Or maybe it is two actually...at least . Then again I only get one salary so...nevermind!

Anyway I now see the end of my contractor-work and by the end of the week I'll be home again. You might think I'm a weirdo, but I would gladly have stayed for another couple of weeks! Of course it will be nice to see my cat and what's left of my family but I've had a good time here and I have absolutely no yearn for the work back home! Here I can be on my own, I decide what I'll do without having to ask anyone, nobody interferes with my life. It's pretty nice!

My daughter is doing well in her medical studies, the other daughter will graduate from "college" in june and my som will be a "nasty teenager" in may! Nice future huh?

My old dad has had two surgeries in the last two weeks, one for changing his pacemaker and one pretty major one taking care of his vascular problems. He had severe lack of circulation in his left leg, but hopefully it will be better. This surgery he had today, he's ok but extremely tired.

So now I better go to bed...working day tomorrow!

[canis216]

Meh, I'm still jobless and now stuck with crappy internet.

[milanius]

Here, people usually have to have a side-job if they have a family and small child; otherwise, there is no other way to support a family.

Meh, I'm still jobless and now stuck with crappy internet.

It could be worse. It could always be worse. You could wake up and realise you don't wish to wake up or get up at all.

It's another dog day sunrise. Every bloody day of my life. Greeted by yelling because I can't say 'thanks' on time after a 'bon apetite'. Pieces of that pastry are still stuck inside of my throat; too bad I didin't choke on them. That would make some people happy, no doubt.

[blockhead]

Welcome back. Missed you.

My old dad has had two surgeries in the last two weeks, one for changing his pacemaker and one pretty major one taking care of his vascular problems. He had severe lack of circulation in his left leg, but hopefully it will be better. This surgery he had today, he's ok but extremely tired.

Ow. I hope he recovers nicely.

[canis216]

It could be worse. It could always be worse. You could wake up and realise you don't wish to wake up or get up at all.

I know. This is why I say "meh" instead of "woe is me". I know I'll get a job sometime fairly soon (by which I mean, within a month or two), I just want one now. A good one. I mean, someone could hire me tomorrow if I took a job with no prospect of helping my future career goals. But then I'd be in the same mess as soon as that job was up.

[milanius]

Ouch. I woke up, you don't wanna hear how. Then I drove to work, aching as usual and I was convinced it was Monday or Tuesday. Days seem to blend into one big endless pile.

But strangely, there was no usual strained atmosphere at work. It was actually decent, and I even got to give our new female colleague a bag of candy [ey, it's St. Valentine's and I don't know her that well].

Feeling better. A bit. Just a little bit.

[gamer10]

This place sure has quieted down since I last checked in on it, maybe its just because of my time zone, ah well.

Anyway, I've had a pretty disturbing last few months, for reasons I won't go into, but I pretty much just keep up my spirits by playing video games, focusing on school, and listening to music. Awesome, and ever so interesting, I know.

I, for one, do not work, but I do help out around the house a lot more than I used to. Meh, not much to brag about, but it helps me mentally, and it certainly helps my dad mentally. I'm gearing up for junior year of high school next year, as I've got class registration to consider.

And theres nothing to report on the social life front.

Well, thats about all thats going on.

[Zarrexaij]

Last week had me in such a rut. I was stressed out because one vehicle is down, another to go, and my father probably won't get either professionally fixed. One of my "friends" was being a big blowhole, and my ex has been on an off with making me feel depressiong and pissed off. I've been stressed out because of new student orientation stuff. Not much good has happened to me, but at least Valentine's Day didn't get me horribly depressed like I thought it would. The day after... well, yeah. Nice reminder that I'm single. I'm still single by choice, but we broke up because... well, I don't want to go there. Too painful.

I'm now sick and probably should get off soon. I've just had a horrible week, and hopefully Tuesday will be better. I expect to be very sick tomorrow.

[Lord Revan]

Well, things haven't been so bad on my end. My progress report had a lots of (A)s and two ©s, not so good, I've got to work on that. In other news, last night we had my church small group's meeting at my house. It was great, considering I was champion at checkers; I defeated every challenger at it, but since I've never put much effort to learn chess, I did not fair too well in my one game of it.

So anyway, I've got to raise those ©s and keep those (A)s. I wish you luck Zarr, hope things smooth out.
