.: Something Exciting :.
Well, the weekend was pretty good, although it went slow. I guess in this case that was fine. Because that equals out to more time playing World of Warcraft, which I'm still addicted to. Friday was a surprise birthday party that was actually pretty boring... I suppose I should have expected that... I don't think there is a good way to have a birthday party and make it exciting if you aren't the person whose birthday is being celebrated. Not to say it's impossible, but just not likely >.>
Saturday began good and ended bad. A small bit of WoW before heading off to D&D started up the day. I ended up staying there probably the latest I've ever been there (besides New Years 2003-04, when I spent the night) before going home. At home I debated going to sleep but I stayed up to check my downloads, and then got drawn into more World of Warcraft before I went to bed at about 4 A.M. As I mentioned, I'm still addicted to World of Warcraft, but the day ended bad... About a week ago Jordan & I bet about something in WoW, and then I was wrong. Today Jordan decided that he wanted his money, even though at the time I'm pretty sure both of us didn't expect money. I told him no way, and we redid the bet conditions again, where this time I was right, and I took screenshots to prove it and so forth. Jordan got mad and was like "I don't want to see your fucking screenshots", left the party, and he hasn't said a word to me since. I know he's probably super pissed too, but to me, its childish. He still owes me a shitload of stuff from RO, but I don't bring it up (albeit RO is boring now, but even when we were still playing I didn't care). What I think it is is greed. He's almost level 40, which is the point where you can buy a mount (sorry to all you people who don't care about WoW), but the thing is super expensive. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have anywhere near enough money to pay for it, so he was looking to me for the money to put him another step farther. He's just super pissed that I'm not paying. Fine I guess, I see where he's coming from. IMO, I don't think he would have paid me if I won the first time. Even if he would have, I'm not sure if I would have taken it or not. I'm not trying to paint myself as an angel or whatever, I probably would have, but I still don't think he would have paid me if I won. Whatever, hopefully he'll get over it eventually. Maybe after he gets his mount...
Sunday was ok, I spent most of the day playing WoW, but I didn't level up at all, so that was kinda depressing. I think I spend about one day completing a bunch of quests, and the next day turning them all in, finding new ones, and starting on them. Usually I kill enough monsters as part of doing the quest to level me up, and the XP from finishing quests is usually enough to do it too. Although yesterday I spent a good portion of my time doing super low leveled quests so I could get some more reputation with Thunder Bluff (reputation makes stuff cheaper, and if you get enough you can buy the mount from that city which is a different kind. I don't really want their mount though... It also makes some Windrider/Bat [the best mode of transportation between towns] trips cheaper). Whatever, I'll stop with the WoW.
Today sucked (at least school did), in gym we had to swim 6 laps instead of the usual 4 (I'm sure a lot of you can do lots more than 6, but I'm an oddball in that I can run fine but swimming kills me). Then during the last two periods of school I had tests, which was really hard to go between. The first was English, which is an area I'm not too good with anyway, followed by Computer Science. I got a chance to look at the key for the CS test after we turned it in, and I'm pretty sure I answered about half wrong. Stupid technical tests... Oh well, in the end I don't think it'll effect my grade because of all the labs we do. Also, the AP test is half multiple choice half actually writing the programs, and I'm pretty sure I can do the writing really well. That just wasn't a good day for tests.
Also over the weekend, I was reminded of the story I wrote about a year or so ago. I wrote it for Writing Fiction & Poetry, and a friend of mine is taking that class now. He asked if I sent it in to publishers, which reminded me about the story. He said he wanted to read it, so I sent him the only version I could find, the short one. It makes me angry too, because I know somewhere I should have the long version (about 5 pages more). I can't find it though, and it's not on my harddrive or any floppies I own. I even checked my website for it, but couldn't find it there either. I sent him it overnight and when he came back online the next day he said he liked it, and gave me a bunch of suggestions and so forth. I asked him if he was interested, if he wouldn't mind doing some editing for me so I can do more work on it easier, and he said OK. ^_^ He pointed out a lot of things that I hadn't thought about, so maybe it'll be a cool story afterall. I reread a lot of it and it still makes me think I used a lot of stupid words to make myself sound smart, but every time I look at it I come up with some other way to write out the sentence less confusingly and even smarter because I'm not using words that nobody else uses. I think it's looking better, but I don't know what kind of effort it'll take for me to actually go all out and fix it up...
Today I was informed of one of the most exciting things eber: ACEN! Short for Anime CENtral, and held downtown! I find myself in a predicament: I need money (i.e. a job), and if I can, an Alucard costume. Because Alucard is awesome. I need to be able to cough up about $100 for a hotel & entrance fees, and I'll want a bunch more so I can buy stuff like anime and posters. Three people who did the VA in Full Metal Panic are going to be there too ^_^ I need to buy that to see if I can get them to sign it... Also: THE PILLOWS!! They did the music to Fooly Cooly (FLCL), one of the awesome-est anime's ever. And they rawk. *listens*
