Good Morning, 2010! The Princess' Diary Intarwebs Edition

What the hell, gin and Cherry Coke taste alright together.

Who would have guessed.

That or I don't have taste buds.

[Grefter]

Shock and awe as someone in the DL finally realises that they have no taste at all.

This is one small step for a nerd, one giant leap for a forum full of them.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

That is absolutely the worst combination since I got wasted and decided that if I love Dr. Pepper and I love Wild Turkey I would love them combined.

If it's fizzy and sweet, I'll probably be able to drink it.

So that would work for me too.

I'm such a soda whore.

Being tired all the time sucks. Why am I even wasting my time trying for 8-10 hours of sleep if I'm still going to wake up tired?

>_<

Try staying awake that time and tell me how you feel afterwards. Bad with 'em...

[Grefter]

Because eventually your body will catch up and you will stop feelling horrible.  Do it for more than a week.

If 8-10 is standard, and you were behind on sleep before, then you're not actually catching up, and so your body and mind are still experiencing the same lag they were at the start.

Obligatory "That's just your OPINION" goes here.

That would make sense if I was behind on sleep before. I haven't been. 8-10 hours is standard ALWAYS, to the point where I'll deliberately skip events that cut into that time. The worst I've done in the past month is 7 hours, and the last time I did that was 2 weeks ago. I wasn't suggesting I didn't need the sleep, just that it feels as if I'd only gotten 4 or 5 instead of 8-10, which means a good 3-6 hours "wasted." Of course it doesn't really work that way.

I just don't sleep well. It is probably breathing related. Some day I'll see a doctor about it. In the meantime, I am frequently tired and cranky. Hooray.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Picked up smoking, OK?

[Scar]

So, I have a collection of hats ranging from a lot of Florida sports teams to silly one liners. I was wondering if anyone knew of a website that hat some FF4 stuff. I could really sink my teeth into a Kain hat right about now.

I fell about 7 days behind in NaNo because I was in a serious funk last week. Today I've started making back some of that lost time.

I seriously <3 Write or Die for giving me a system to word sprint against.

2138 words down in 33 minutes, 9511 left to catch up. I'm not going to catch up today, but it's given me a boost to know I can write a coherent story at 55-65 WPM. (Not that it's any good, mind you; just coherent.)

Besides, I have a word marathon on Sunday. I can do my catching up then.

I can barely make that many words in an hour...

[Bardiche]

Running behind on NaNo as well. Should try and catch up, too.

[Luther Lansfeld]

Go Lady Door!

[Lady Door]

1686 in 25. Boo yah! 

I really wish my story was coming together better than this, but... this is good! I am getting stuff out. It is helping me shape things better. And I am getting all the hurr durr out. At least, I hope I am. Right now it feels like I have a bottomless well of it. <_<

Night of Writing Dangerously on Sunday!

And I need to get my hair cut. But the Big Game is tomorrow, and Berkeley is going to be a mad house, so booooo.

[Scar]

Soooooooooooooo I will be heading to Virginia in mid December. I was wondering if any of the Dl'ers live in or around there. I won't be there too long, prolly only three days, but who knows!

[superaielman]

Depends on where in the state, mostly.

[Scar]

My damn picture keeps messing up. >_>

Er, it's actually not Virginia I guess? My gf says we will be flying itno DC and staying in some town called Port Tobacco in Maryland. It's close to Waldorf? I dunno. Never heard of either of them.

[superaielman]

That's way away from most of us, yeah. I'm near the NC border by Norfolk. DC's 200 miles from me.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Well, an awesome weekend in Tokyo was just totally ruined by the worst Monday morning in a long time...

I woke up thirty minutes after I was supposed to be at work since my alarm clock didn't go off. I'd feel bad about this, but I had gone to bed early and there was no reason why the alarm shouldn't have gone off.

So I grab my phone, which I had plugged in the night before, so I can call my work and let them know I'm going to be late, and the battery's dead. It didn't charge for some reason. I don't even know -why-. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and nothing, so I figured my cord was broken. But then when I come out of the shower, it's suddenly charging. ARGH!

So I get ready and I'm now like an hour late. I get in my car and turn the key, but engine just sputters. I have a full tank of gas, and the headlights don't appear to be left on, so I guess the battery just decided to die on its own?

I don't have a phone, so I can't call anybody, and my neighbors are all already at work since it's an hour after work started... So I can't a jump from anyone (assuming it would even work?). So I walk to board of education's local branch and borrow the crappy public car assigned to me. Luckily I already had the key so I could just get in the car and drive off so as not to waste any time!

When I get to work and explain my situation, heavy with apologies, my bosses tell me things like "you're not a student anymore, you have to act like an adult", and "why didn't you call from the board of education?"... And they take two hours of my time off even though I wasn't even 2 hours late despite all the crap I had to deal with.

I just can't seem to catch a break... I'm probably going to have to drop some ridiculous amount of money on getting my car fixed knowing my luck.

And I have to buy a new alarm clock. Sadface. FML.

[Yoshiken]

Yikes. Sucks to hear, Djinn.


Man, things have been weird lately. I've done literally nothing for the last two weeks or so, except for work and play games. Given about 6 months of being social before that, it's really thrown me - doesn't help that I've suddenly run out of money either, so I can't be social even if I want to.
Oh, and I'm still not sure I can stay where I'm living. Landlord's in a huge dispute with his ex, and it's starting to look like me and my other housemate are gonna be forced out by the end of next month - wouldn't that be a lovely present for Christmas? Man, that reminds me, I need to spend even more money this/next month. Still, at least I get to see my family next month, and I always love this time of year - except for the fact that I've got a cold. Damn weather. ;o
