I'm sorry I haven't been updating too regularly these days. It's kind of a shame, too, because I've been at least somewhat busier over my reading week than otherwise. At least, with more socialization. I could say that I just don't have time to update right now, but that would be a lie. So, I'll try to bring you up to day as quickly as possible - I'm tired and I want to go bed.
Alright, not really much to say about Monday. I slept until the early afternoon and then spent most of the day trying desperately to find a game that I felt like playing. I played some Earth & Beyond, but the areas I wanted to go to were lagging really badly so I gave up on that for a while. Among some of the attempts to amuse me were Diablo II and Neverwinter Nights. Both of those lasted about five minutes and I gave up on them before I even really got started with the gameplay. Adil came online and we chatted for a while about various crap, and then I got invited to wings night. I could have probably gone, but by the time it was starting, I'd gotten myself interested in playing Earth & Beyond again. I'm really probably going to just cancel my subscription to it in about a week, so I should play as much as I can before then. I was gaming with that until about two in the morning and then I believe I more or less went to bed.
Which brings us to Tuesday. Standard sleeping in, with the exception that my mattress is broken all of a sudden. I discovered that this morning when I caught one of my leg-tendons on a protruding bit of a spring. Stupid bed - I really just need to get around to getting a new mattress already. Looking behind me at my bed, it would appear that there's also something of a crater in the bed near where the broken spring is. Obviously, I'll be sleeping on that pointy metal bit again tonight because I don't really care enough to do anything about it. If I weren't so lazy, you'd have a picture of my bed to look at. But I am so you don't. Suck it up.
This afternoon I had some cheesecake and chips for breakfast, then ate some gummi worms for dessert. Mandy tried convincing me to go with her to the gym. I was really close to going with her. But then I started getting a big anxiety issue and all panicky just thinking about it. Besides, I took my unicycle out and refilled the tyre and rode that around the block. If you don't think riding the unicycle around the block is a work-out, I'd like to see you try it. Regardless, eventually I convinced Mandy that it wasn't going to happen today.
At about eight o'clock, I got a ride to the Roasterie in Kensington where Lindsay told me that she was going to be meeting Little Anne. When I got there, I saw Lindsay and Big Anne and some other person sitting on the bench outside the Roasterie. They told me that they would be getting ice cream with Meghan beforehand, and then she'd have to take off. So, I got there and Lindsay gave me a "you're... here?" look. So, because I couldn't see who the other person was, the first thing I thought was, "Oh no, Meghan's here and they're all waiting for Little Anne to show up! What am I going to do?!?" I got all panicky again and thought about running away but instead skulked a little closer and as it turned out it was just Little Anne there between them. Who needs to go to the gym for a cardio workout when you're as nervous and panicky as I apparently am.
Well, we caught the bus to Little Anne's house - she's living with her big sister now - and watched "Don Juan de Marco", played with the ferret, made popcorn in a pot the ol' fashioned way, and played some timed word-guessing game, "Catch Phrase". We played two rounds, and switched teams in between rounds, and the team I was on lost miserably both times. Maybe I'm a smart guy, but I cannot think quickly to save my life. So, these sort of quick-thinking games are really not my real strength. Anyhow, at about eleven or shortly thereafter Big Anne, Lindsay, and I left Little Anne's house so we could catch the bus back to Kensington. Originally I was just going to hop on the "number one" and take that home, but I decided (as we pulled into Kensington) that I'd just accompany the girls on the "number nine". Eventually it came and took Anne home, and I got of with Lindsay. Walked her home and used her bathroom. It was a nice night and she apparently didn't know where the keys to the van were, so I hugged her goodbye for another couple months and made the half-hour journey back to my place. When I got here my thighs were really cold and I chatted with Tasnuva on the MSN machine for a while. Mother came downstairs with a scowl after having been woken up by father's snoring.
Tomorrow I hope to get around to taking a couple pictures for you to look at. I intend to getting a picture of my unicycle and a picture of that spring poking out of my bed (if there's even anything to see there). My thighs are suddenly mildly sore from, I'd guess, the unicycle. Mandy is supposed to be coming over in about eighteen hours and I'm sleepy, so, goodnight.
