Well the semester is done for summer, and it's kind of nice being able to relax finally. With that out of the way, I have some time to finally focus on continuing my writing and making plans for travel.
I'm still hoping I can visit some of my friends around the country this summer. Going to Orlando, FL seems the most likely to happen right now, but I'm hoping I can also get to North Carolina and Canada to see some other friends.
Continuing frustration/impatience with myself regarding my creative writing. I have so many ideas for the overall arc of the story and some certain elements that will come up later on, but I'm having trouble coming up with ways to get to those points in the story.
I'm hoping I will have a creative spark hit me soon enough, I can't wait to get all these ideas down on paper.
Oh well, back to the quite uninspiring world of Warcraft.

Computers + Outside = ???
Went to a friend's birthday party/lan party today and we had the computers outside, and my freakin keyboard got that morning mist on it and it's all sticky now. Lame.

Apologies
Getting things off my chest. I don't expect anyone to understand who or what I'm talking about for several of the next paragraphs.
I'm sorry, Casey and Grant. I took your friendships for granted and am responsible for our lost communication. I didn't prioritize my life and time correctly and am now without my 2 best friends from high school.
I'm sorry Derek for being so spiteful and unintentionally jealous whenever your priorities changed in life. I still feel like I was a "third-wheel" a lot of the time, but I'm not upset about it. I wish we still talked and hung out as much as we did 2 years ago.
I'm sorry Graham, although I'm not positive, I think my severely short attention span and bad habit of impulse buying over the years may have cost you thousands of hours of work. I hope I can make it up to you somehow..
I'm sorry Amber. There's so much I want to say that I just can't put into words. I think back to how long I knew you, over 6 years, and how much time I spent talking to you for years. A lot of my happiness as a teenager stemmed from just knowing you and being your friend. Hanging out with you a couple years ago at your house was one of the most fun and, at the same time, nerve wracking things I've ever done. I'm not sure if you knew how I really felt about you, but I have a feeling you do, or did.
When you started dating Adam when I was 15, I was beyond jealous, and found myself acting irrationally and stupidly because of it. I hope I wasn't a contributing factor to why he suddenly drifted away, but if I am, I'm sorry. As the years went on, my feelings for you only got stronger. I don't know if I've ever been in love, but if I have, it was then.
When my life got flipped upside down (not a Fresh Prince reference, I swear!) and I stopped logging in for a long time, I always thought about trying to maintain contact with you, but by the time I realized how stupid I had been, it was too late. If I could go back in time and change one thing about my life, it would be that. I know we've spoken a few times in the last year, but it's nothing like how it used to be, and it deeply saddens me. I miss exchanging several pages of emails, and spending all day on MSN chatting about life.
I sincerely hope you are happy with your life now, I'm trying hard not to dwell too much on this, but I hope that by writing this, it will help me move past it. I know you'll probably never read this anyway.

Foot update
Well, I was able to get a really quick appointment this morning at 10:45 with the doctor, so that was cool. I found out what I had already suspected; an infection caused by athlete's foot is what has been giving me pain. I got some cream and an antibiotic to take, which means I get to spend a good amount of time in the bathroom. Yay?
I can't wait to get better. I haven't played DDR in 5 days, and I haven't played the drums in even longer. The calluses on my hand, which I've had for years now, were getting painful for some reason, so I decided to lay off the drums for a while. I have been having fun playing around with the bass again though.
Not much else to say really. Been playing Shattered Galaxy again, which is a game I was addicted to when I was like, 15. It's actually really fun to play again, even though the game hasn't changed much (or at all) in years. So I guess I'll go back to doing that, and enjoying this macaroni & cheese I made for myself right before I typed this up.
Peace.

Music game awesomeness
This is awesome.
A mix of the 5 most popular Bemani games playing the song "The Least 100sec". I want to try this on DDR next time I can play, I'm not sure if it's on Supernova/SN2 though. I don't think I could do it on the other games. Maybe on easy mode on the drums/guitar.. I stink at Pop'n Music and have never played Keyboardmania (it looks insane)

Banned, Blocks, Fevers and Foot Injuries
I was banned from WoW. Not really much else to say about that, I'm actually not that upset about it, but I am trying to get unbanned currently. I hope it works, but if not, life goes on.
Something is wrong with my foot. I got hurt somehow, and can now barely walk. I'm not exactly sure what happened to it, but my best guesses are either a bee sting, spider bite, or some kind of infection. Basically the whole underside of my right foot is very painful to put any weight on, and I walk with a major limp now as I try to keep my balance with only the left side of my foot. It's also tough to stand still because I usually stand with my weight on one foot (weird, I know.)
Hopefully it will get better soon. It started bothering me 2 nights ago, but didn't really get too severely painful until this morning.
I can't wait to be able to play DDR. I am so close to getting an A on Under the Sky - Expert. -_-
Writer's block sucks. I was able to write up 2 chapters (about 4,000 words) in a day, but now I am not sure what to do next. I have a lot of ideas for what I want to happen later on in the timeline of the story, and I even have a good idea of how I want to end the story, but I don't want to jump ahead in time and make the story very short. I hope I can stop being so doubtful of what I write and just crank something out. I found myself writing a lot of things last night, but erasing most of them because I didn't like how they turned out as soon as I put them onto the screen.
I got randomly sick yesterday. I felt kind of achey/crappy when I woke up but didn't think much of it. A few hours later, I didn't feel like sitting up and went and fell asleep for a few hours. When I woke up I took my temperature and it was like 102, so I felt like crap the rest of the day basically. Now I'm back down to 98.5 and feeling fine, so I have no idea what caused that. Oh well, at least I'm not stuck in bed again.

Nerdy
One of my favorite hobbies has been to make "signature" images for my MMO characters. It's particularly fun to do for World of Warcraft, since the art style makes for a good backdrop for some fun text styles.
I made this one last night for my Paladin.
Yes, for you WoW experts, I am using "Hammer of GG" aka Hammer of Wrath on a level 20 warlock. It's actually my friend's new character, but I had to make him a target. Because sometimes, your friends just need the Hammer of GG.
Another hobby of mine is creative writing/fanfiction. There's something appealing about taking an already established universe of characters rather then trying to conjure up everything from scratch. I guess it's kind of lazy if you think about it, but oh well.
I've written over 2,000 words for this new one already, but I found myself having a tough time trying to name and summarize the story before posting chapter 1 on FF.net. The name only took about 30 minutes to finalize, but it took several hours to try and describe my story. I guess that's the consequence of writing spontaneously, one chapter at a time, rather then having a storyline set before I'm finished
.
For several months I was a CSI Miami fanatic. Although I think Law and Order SVU is a superior show, there's something enthralling about CSI:M that kept me watching, and made me record almost every episode that aired onto my DVR machine. I think I've seen every episode now, and I don't really watch it anymore, but it's still fun to do Horatio Caine-isms with my friends.
Well I guess that's it for now. Told ya it was nerdy. ^^
