LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I was doing the friend's couch thing for about a week but wore out my welcome. Plus he smokes, so sleeping there was really unpleasant. Also stayed in my boss's basement for two nights, which was EXTREMELY AWKWARD. Me bouncing around between different places has actually been going on for about four weeks now.

I would rather pay twenty bucks a night and stay in a shitty hotel than any of my other options, really. The hotel is a dump, but all the other options are worse, except for nicer hotels. I actually stayed in a seventy-dollar-a-night hotel for a couple nights, because I needed internet for business reasons and the six hours of remote work I was able to do per day more than made up for the extra cost.

I've been driving three hours back to my apartment on Friday evening and then driving three hours to work on Monday morning, which is not actually cheaper than the roach motel, but is vastly more pleasant.

On the plus side, condo closes next week. Once I can move my bed and my desktop computer moved from Kansas City to St. Louis, get the air conditioning in this place fixed, and get my pet turtle back from my parents who have been taking care of him, everything else is just fluff. Dishes? Clothes? A couch? A desk chair? A desk? All totally optional. Mere luxury goods! Bed/computer/air/turtle are the necessities.
Awwww~
It's so cute that the turtle is a necessity. ^.^ I just got a look at a whole 'nother side of you!

His name is Shiver, because when you got the turtle on your team in Shining Force, it said, "He's shivering. What will you name him?" So I always named him Shiver in that game.

Yo hang in there LockeZ

As luck would have it, a couple of schoolmates from a, uh, foreign land 8 years ago have turned up in my city and want to meet up. I really cannot be bothered because as they're all religious Muslims they're fasting while I'm not (anymore)...so I'm gonna have to frolic through town pretending I'm fasting too. And it is very hot outside.

Plus, I just can't stand one of them who's been on my case since as long as I can remember for the most inane shit. I'm surprised he has any friends with an attitude like his, honestly.

After graduation I'm going to deactivate my Facebook account because there are some people I do not EVER want to connect with again.

And quite frankly, I have trouble understanding how University-educated 20-somethings can still believe in fairy-tales - like, it really boggles the mind and is pretty embarrassing IMO - but that's a story for another day.

You know you can just unfriend the people you don't want to talk to instead of deleting your entire account, right?

The thing is I'd want to do that with random relatives as well and then things could get nasty thanks to my parents....it's much easier to explain it as "I just don't want to use Facebook anymore" rather than "I don't want to communicate with such and such person". I have the numbers or Twitter accounts of most people I regularly communicate with anyway. Also, I'm lucky enough not to get unfriended much but I'm sure it's not a nice feeling to experience.

Anyway, I've explained to one of the guys that it's basically this one total dick who's making me avoid them...we'll probably meet separately now, which is fine to be honest, because the other guys were friends once upon a time and still are to an extent. I just hope they don't stick religion down my throat as was common all those years ago.

The easiest and most beneficial thing to do is to just disable your account because apparently, even if you block them and aren't friends with them, they can still send you messages (my mother's rapist did this recently, twice). Matter of fact, I got the little fucker's name and, using his current location, found his Facebook account and am tempted to rain fresh, relentless hell down upon him. I mean good God, man; I don't care how much time has passed, you abusive little shit (John Fees of Hurst, Texas. Graduate of L. D. Bell High School, class of 1981), there's no goddamn way in hell that you can honestly throw this up and not be crippled by the guilt and irony or even acknowledge that you are one of the last people who deserves any divine protection from someone putting a bullet between your eyes (something I'll gladly do myself if he ever shows up anywhere near my house, except I'll beat him to death with a baseball bat, my bare hands and perhaps a knee or two (guns are for cowards who don't know how to fight)).

People on Facebook can also see and reply to messages you post if you share a mutual friend with them and the mutual friend replies to the message. If you're having a slow week on facebook, sometimes messages posted by strangers on their own timelines will show up on your front page, just because someone you talk to a lot responded to them. And then you can respond to that message.

So basically, if you don't want friends of friends to know you're using facebook, the only way to do so is to not use facebook.
Yellow Magic's avatar is officially the best one I've seen on the website!
It even beats the ring leader's banana haired Guko from awhile back

Eh, I keep turtles too...and parakeets, and finches, and dogs and cats. It's my wife's legacy. I always liked having dogs and cats, but then she came along with the birds and turtles. The turtle's name is Oscar. Apparently, before she met me, she would joke that she would meet someone named Mayer and then Oscar's name would be Oscar Mayer. My last name Myers. Pronounced the same.
^That just made me squeeee with the adorableness of it and then :< because, well, :<

And now I just wanna give you a hug. >.<



/awkward silence

So, uh, niece came over today. Got into my nail polish (I didn't even know I had nail polish - I'm not really a 'girly' girl) and now her new dress is ruined. Her mother is pretty laid back, thankfully, and just asked that I replace the dress at a later date. It's weird - Mum and her sisters fight like cats and dogs but Poss and I get along pretty well, even when we have different opinions. I think we've 'fought' maybe twice in our whole lives - once because she almost broke my computer (SACRILEGE!) and the other time over her breaking my hairbrush (to which I stole all the hairbrushes in the house until she replaced mine... it was brand new and a Christmas present to boot. The one thing I am 'girly' about is my hair - it's thick as hell and needs constant brushing. Break my good brush and I'ma go ham on your ass ^.^; ).

But yeah, we got the kid cleaned up (and my poor carpet which also had a bit of a spill on it - honestly, I don't even wear nail polish and I hate garish red. No idea where it came from!) and everything was okay. Just had to relocate some other stuff like lipstick and make-up (seriously, where does this stuff come from? I haven't bought make-up of any kind since I was in my teens. I never use it. :/ ) to higher shelves.

I had a dream that, for one reason or another, I got a sex change to become a beautiful, light-skinned black woman. My parents were disappointed in me and questioned me about my life (I reassured them that this is what I wanted and that I'm still the same person they loved before) on the car ride back to the house. The strangest thing was that I looked at myself in the rear-view mirror and saw the man I was before, like my "true" self shone through.

Sure, other things happened that I've since forgotten, but such is the nature of dreams.

... But what does it mean? It can't be that I'm transgendered or in any way conflicted with myself as I know that's never been the case. Was it meant as an attempt to glance sympathetically into another life? Even for a dream, it was surreal.

Anywhooo, got work today, so I've probably got more important things to worry about.
Well, the storm passed and guess what? Another storm!
The wind's battering our rather unfinished house, whistling eerily like wraiths (sounds like a video game). I'm pretty sure classes will be cancelled tomorrow, unless this storm stops *right* now.

I have no problems with falling asleep, as I can literally sleep through a war. My problem is waking up. I'm not sure what I'll see in the morning, when I look out of my window...

Good thing the net's still up... ;P

You shouldn't have to feel lonely, man. Aren't there hundreds of nice people around here, even though we aren't from the same country?
RMN: We represent the world, yo!
You are not alone TungerMan, my friend. I know it's wonderful to share something as grande as origin shared country, but that's not all there is.
At the very least, feel hugged :) *big hug*

And when you only look at events of people, a huge pool of people at that, you, who sees 24 hours of each and every day of yours, will definitely look duller than you actually are.

Isn't it ironic that the two of you are telling me that =3



I thought that, too, after I posted. Then I thought how ironic it is that I have many more exchanges with others compared to my German peer.

AND YOUR PROFILE LIED! The one self-written truth has failed!
True enough, but it was more fun to react that way :/
