the scum thickens...

My house almost exploded. Our water pump died and had to be repaired yesterday, letting us have time to truly miss having water. All it takes is about an hour, less if you actually like hygiene. So after spending 18 hours without water, we went somewhat insane. Seriously, it got so bad that Mom actually ended up spending ten dalla to get bottled water. The only reason I came out relatively unscathed were because of 2 traits:

1) I'm gross

2) My fathers many road trips has taught me hold "hold it" for a long, long time...

Still, we got that and the dryer fixed, so life should be good. But then I had to clean the bathroom. You know the garbage thing on the Death Star in the 1rst Star Wars movie? Add a sink and a crapper and you have our bathroom clearly pictured. It was gross! And I had to clean it. :(

The sink area was all I had to do personally, but that was enough. After I scraped out all the sludge, I found the sink to be twice as large as it used to be and that it DID have a drain. Still, at least I won't have to clean it for another year.

1rst Post in MONTHS!!!!!

Well, where to begin?

There have been several changes in my life since February, the most profound being my father not being here. He is overseas teaching native how to run a jail without torturing people, and the next time I see him will be during winter in the Caribbean. (I wanted the vacation to be in Ireland, bobsagit!) Still, it's weird not having to check constantly to see if you're about to be pounced upon, doing something stupid and not hearing a sarcastic comment, not having to check to see if my airsoft rifle is missing, no wrestling in the kitchen... and I'm now realizing just how weird it is that I actually miss this stuff.

I'm taking summer classes, because apparently I mentally double the point value of large projects, and thus my many one-legged A's. I have found a few friends here, who shall be dubbed Muse Brain, Tech Man, and Brace. Brace has messed up her wrist somehow, and is quiet, friendly, has a knowledge of vintage weaponry, and is well versed in history. wait a minute... I described what I was like BD! (Before Drama) Strange, yet really smegging awesome! Tech Man is a computer wizard. He created face recognition software on his own. Sadly, the police confiscated it because he attached it to a remote control paintball gun. He's one of those people who could probably make a radio out of a microwave, and a gamer to boot! Finally we come to Muse Brain, a super-talkative passionate Christian who love to create and play music. She's had a recent falling out with her parents over her now EX-boyfriend because he was Catholic. The guy broke up with her over email because of it. (shame!!!! he should have at least done it over the phone!!) Still, she doesn't let it interfere with her happy-go-lucky-ness.

And the last major update: Kat! Kat is a cat that I mistook for Huntress (another cat) and captured. We brought her in, took care of her, got her to the vet, and is now a part of the family. She is a tuxedo kitty, schizophrenic, and chirrups frequently. I take that as a sign of politeness. Still, one cannot avoid the fact she is schizo! She chases imaginary birds, is convinced the rugs are out to get her, mistakes people for bears (including me. she sliced my hand open once...), and is addicted to people food. She's friendly, but insane!

Oh, well. At least we don't need to stick her in a little kitty straitjacket.

AT SMEGGING LAST!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, a day where my parents do not need the net more then me AND the Smart One can survive five minutes without fanfic.

What you missed in a matchbox: my father is applying for a job over seas to teach the natives how to run a jail, causing house-wide stress. I haven't seen Cheese in a week, and I founded a camera del vidio that I'm trying to make work good. (my english speaking good, no?)

I really don't have anything to write about, so time for my special PARANOIA XP weapons. Home brewed, too. (all but the sniper are experimental.)

Weapon type dmg MBM Shots Range Cost Clearance

Shrapgun Porject Impct W3K 5 40 350 Yellow

Slugthrowers:

 Sniper Porject Impct W2K - 200 1000 Green

 Volley Porject Impct W3K Really, 1 50 1000 Blue

 Discgun Porject Impct W2K - 50 750 Green

Discgun: ammunition for this gun are small razor discs instead of standard bullets. On a roll of 1, the shot goes through the target and hits the next thing behind it.

Malfunction: It jams. If the GM thinks it funny, it also sends a disc into the shooter.

Remedy: A successful specialty roll clears the jam.

Shrapgun: this fires packs of needles into people. Count energy-only armor (like that of most troubleshooters) as only half value, rounded down. Hardened armor has its value doubled against shrapguns.

Malfunction: it explodes like a grenade. HA-HA!

Remedy: if the shooter has tools on hand and rolls a 1 on a specialty roll, he does clear the jam before it explodes.

Sniper rifle: the distance rifle.

Malfunction and remedy: as a normal slugthrower.

Volleygun: this special slugthrower fires its entire ammunition store in a single shot. Count it as a spray attack.

Malfunction: it's gonna explode, dude.

Remedy: get some nice ColdFun for your next clone. He's been through a traumatizing experiance.

It's The Best Day Ever!

Today was a really good day. Sure, Mom was all mad and screamy at me in the morning. Yes, there was nothing super fantastical for breakfast other than plain ol' cereal. And it is cold enough outside to freeze any moisture instantly. BUT TODAY WAS FANTASTIC! I don't even really know why. Was it knowing I finally had the Spam song from Monty Python on my MP3? (spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam Spam-Spam! Wonderful Spam!) Was it that I found two boxes of abandoned croutons at lunch today? Was it because I finally was able to print and turn in my spanish story? Did I learn the meaning of Life?? (no, wait, everyone knows it's 42) I don't know. All I know is that today feels really good.

My computer is possessed. Really! The mouse pad is not simply "out of order", it is maliciously thwarting my will! AUGH! PISSED TEEN SMASH!

Seriously, the mouse is trying to drive me insane. Lets say I want to move it to the disc icon to start a game. The smegger then decides, "OH MY GOD! HE IS DOING A PERFECTLY ROUTINE FILE OPENING!!!!! ALL CIRCUITS REVERSE GEARS!!!! MOVEMOVEMOVEMOVE!!"

At this point I am then screaming all sorts of obscenity at my computer, which is now making the mouse move 1 centimeter where it's supposed to go, 3 feet back. Anything I do is like this. Non-stop. Without fail. Half of my favorite games kill me at first level because of this. EVEN SNOOD!

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm seriously at the point of getting my computer exorcised. Anyone with suggestions short of "smash it and get a new one", please comment. (also please remember I'm poor)

Sorry Everybody! :(

I'm really really really really really really sorry I haven't blogged in so long! I'M SORRY!!!!!! :(

Still, today was the first day in a good long while when no one else had something to do on the computer. Mom has been going overtime on her novels (not "books", "novels", for we are artIsts), and Dad has had a website to run and a book to publish ("Meditations On Violence" by Rory Miller. Check it out!), so go figure.

And to be honest, nothing was missed. All that was really special about today was finally posting an entry in here! We spent most of the intervening time watching the Looney Toons and eating cake. Alwell, it was fun!
