As I mentioned earlier, I hope all turns out alright.

Side note: sleep is important for nocturnal people like me. Wanting to fall asleep while typing and losing eye strength to focus on the letters I type is rather tiring. Great time to take a na- oh wait essay due in an hour and a half. Wee. At least I'm getting somewhere now.

Shopping for glasses is a joy. I've only gone to one shop so far and there are like four affordable models I'm interested in already. Want to have a pair done by the end of the week.

Update: Uncle has no heart damage, but they need to perform open heart surgery.

Mother. Fucker. They better not screw it up >_<

If the medics are skilled at all, I think they'll manage. Just hope for the best instead of fearing for what may go wrong. Given your concern, sounds like you care about this uncle a lot, and he needs your hope rather than your sadness in this moment. Hang in there.

I actually don't know him -that- well, but it's hitting the family pretty hard and that's where the majority of my anger comes from.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2380 on:** October 08, 2009, 12:58:34 AM »

Comment still stands, although it likely applies to the rest of your family more (and you might need to be a bit understanding towards them, it's a difficult time for them). Family health problems are really painful to deal with, especially when the person is under a really delicate procedure. A death in the family will be felt hard even when you don't have much intimacy with the person, even if by proxy.

Xeroma · « **Reply #2381 on:** October 08, 2009, 01:27:59 AM »

Exactly.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2382 on:** October 08, 2009, 01:31:07 AM »

Yeah. Nothing left but hope for the best, honestly.

On a lighter note, seems like there's some picket trainwreck going over and the company's involved. I may be sternly invited to participate in protest activities and get paid for it.

My job is really weird.

EDIT:

* Jo'ou Ranbu reads news, reads about a -house representative who was accused of forging murders by demand for his regional TV show-. The now former rep. is now a runaway.

We pick our representatives brilliantly.

Conversation between me and my mother regarding my sister's boss' dog:

<Me> I'm just looking at this thing's repenting Mary Magdalene face.
<Mother> But isn't he so cute? I wish <boss' name> would lend him to us forever.
<Me> That's just -giving- things, you know.
<Mother> Oh, that's just how she says, and she once lent a dog forever to someone else too.
<Me> Uhuh
<Mother> She doesn't really have the patience for him anyway, he's so needy! *Pet.*
<Me> Well yes, he's sorta retarded.
<Mother> Nah, he's completely retarded.

For some unimaginable reason, this sorta entertained me.

So after a 5 hour car ride and a 16 hour train ride, I'm in Florida.

The train was nice, actually. We got a sleeping car which has two large seats that fold out into beds. Dinner, breakfast and drinks were included. In all it was comfortable and pretty neat, actually. Not one sighting of Rail Tracer either.

Room is about a square foot smaller than my room at home. Since I didn't bring everything, things actually fit pretty damn well. Once I buy a desk and get my comp set up I'll be back in chat.

One of my CPM mugs broke in transit, so that was VERY ;-;-;-;, but otherwise, everything got here intact and in working order as far as I know. Still need to test the TV, PS3 and comp though. ::Crosses fingers::

Need to go rewatch Baccano...

"We" did Sopko? You and your mum or you and your dad?

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #2389 on:** October 09, 2009, 04:46:18 AM »

Clearly I mean the turd that was in my pocket.

Yeah, Dad came up to help me move down.

Ahhh okay, was wondering if something unplanned had happened regarding maternal unit and the dopey dog. Hope she doesn't get bored up there by herself other than Bailey.

Aunt + family's cat was run over. Shit.

I never met the fluffball but yeah kitty =(

Your Aunt AND the family's cat was run over and you're worried about the cat? For shame...

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #2393 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:03:48 PM »

My aunt wasn't run over =(

Cotigo · « **Reply #2394 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:08:35 PM »

Please tell me that your dog is named after the Irish Creme, Sopko.

CT: Jesus, your aunt gets hit too, and you care more about the cat? Tsk, tsk. And they call ME the sociopath...

I'm literally -15 credit hours from graduating, once the credits from studying abroad go through. Why am I still so worried about my grades?

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #2395 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:09:32 PM »

Raw unrelenting habit I'd assume.

Cotigo · « **Reply #2396 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:24:31 PM »

Eh. One of the classes is justifiable, as I will likely need a letter of recommendation from the professor as I apply to JET and the like. Another one is something I genuinely want to do, and could theoretically net me a recommendation for grad school. The rest? No damn reason for it. And yet, anxiety.

Oh well, at least if I do screw them up somehow I'll learn to get over it.

Interval between having a clean-shaven face and a 5 'o clock shadow: about 17 hours. I sorta miss the days when it'd take a week for my facial hair to grow.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2399 on:** October 10, 2009, 12:17:50 PM »

* Jo'ou Ranbu gnaws on Saturday mornings as usual.

The 5 'o clock shadow remains mostly stable, though.

EDIT:

* Jo'ou Ranbu reads morning news.

Hell yes, the bankers' strike is over! I'll be able to retrieve my paycheck! ... on Tuesday. Hooray, Monday holidays.
