Pastor Dan emailed us about small group: I should go this time because Dylan apparently has Karen and Lincoln’s wedding invitation, but I am NOT going to do any “20 Questions” on two days’ notice! Talked to Lindsay / JBook / Cody / Chelsea / Joe W. / Caitlin on Mumble about boobs, Leonard / bad jokes / racism / sexism, Erin C., water polo, Nebraska, the Olympics / Brazil, and group stuff. We also discussed drama, toilet issues, fishnet stockings, James G., car windows, distance / work, tornadoes, drinking, butts, THE HUNGER GAMES / Lenny Kravitz / characters, HARRY POTTER / movies, THE HOBBIT, hyper cats / dogs, and more. Interesting stuff, indeed!

Had to officially give up on FINAL FANTASY V ADVANCE because of emulator graphical glitches – FUCK! On to DRAGON QUEST VI again! Then I got an email from Mom which said that Auntie Paula had died this morning, just before her 83rd birthday on Thursday. Sad!
Talked to Andrew / JBook / Marko / Joe W. / Jim / Chelsea / Lindsay / Cody on Mumble about the hockey game, “how far is Manitoba from Winnipeg?” (HAHAHA), sex, Cody, pickles, hot weather / temperature scales, beards, the Oklahoma hurricane, Sam, Marissa / Kyle being homers, Holly, pregnancy, unfriending people, baby nephews, Wings-Blackhawks, and more. Called Chinese Eric to update him on the news: he knows how to make me feel better, that’s for sure! (the human condition, hopes for a hangout on Thursday, hockey, support, walkathons, new TV shows) It seems he can’t eat much salmon, but I offered to cook something “interesting” anyway! Makes things easier, which is fine.

As I thought, Eric called me this morning at 8:45, but I wasn’t up. I had a dream of people who were just heads rolling around! The laptop had installed 116 of 117 Windows Vista updates, and had finished that at 4:40 AM. Talked to Jim / Jon / Marko / Reeha on Mumble about Starbucks, downtown traffic, overtime, having family on FB, Brandi, Christine B., Superstore, blocking people, double Pittsburgh-Ottawa overtime, Leonard, why I was banned from Puckheads, and more. The Senators won it in double OT, which is nice!

After Andrew M. (_thwap_) sent me a message to say “hey,” I said that I was thinking that if I wanted this laptop thing done, I should probably have it done before August. Reason:L If I housesit for my parents AGAIN, I will probably want to defenestrate my dad’s restarting computer a billion times in the month that they’re in Europe! Then he called since he had a sleeping baby on his lap; totally understandable! Talked about Teunis, Jordan’s schedule changing (no RPG?), his kids, and Memory Express; good thing I saved most of the $100 from earlier! I didn’t mind if it were this evening, actually.
When a few hours went by without hearing anything, I jumped on Mumble to talk to JBook / Marko / Jim / Cody about Caitlin playing a Winter Classic NHL game (streaming!), dancing, Koreans, L.A.-San Jose, signals, girls, politics, the Wings-Blackhawks game, bras, boxers, draft picks, bacon soda / mints, and more. I forgot that I had my volume up high so I can actually hear Marko on this thing, and Eric called at 8 to see whether I was going to church tomorrow or not. He asked who I was talking to, haha! (he said he’d be doing sound, and would call me after 8 AM) Jon later said that it was the chant of Cthulhu’s call, which is good enough for me. Then I called Andrew, who had forgotten that he’d promised his kids that he’d take them to the 7-11… it happens! When he came over at 9:15 to 12:25, we discussed Teunis’ girlfriend / life / Windows Vista drivers / money honesty / awkwardness / passwords / motor bikes / gas prices / dwelling / Coquitlam / bridges / trust / dirty minds / Draw Something / Minecraft. That was pretty good, indeed!

I decided to go for that lunch in Vancouver (at Ho Yuen Kee) after everyone moves the sofa bed, so at least I could see Steph and Alan! (my parents are just incidental, but they ARE my ride…) Steph picked me up; Havarti was in the backseat, and let out a REALLY STINKY fart. Ugh! (discussed Mom thinking that their upcoming trip isn’t exactly a month – CLOSE ENOUGH!) We met Alan and Polly at the restaurant after Mom’s complicated plan of picking us up at Steph’s complex when we dropped the dog off at home. We talked about Angus, Melia, Auntie Ying’s extreme attention to detail, Sam, Uncle Joel, choir, dried oyster congee, noodles, gay marriage being legal in Minneapolis now (so of course Mom wants to go to any wedding that Tom and Tom might have), Phil, Grace, and Micah.
Also discussed new phones, Ayler not liking smoothies yet, Jon, Harmony, babysitting, Karen and Lincoln’s wedding being in August, real estate, Father’s Day (I need to get the card since Steph and Lisa will be in the Yukon), French classes, dirty pants, apples, bananas, tomatoes, Quebec, moving in with parents, and more. Then we went to some Chinese fast food place so Mom could get red bean buns and fish heads. Finally got home at 3:15, and decided to relax and do laundry. Good thing I don’t need to leave the house till Wednesday if I want to! It’ll be a chill weekend.
Mom, right after lunch: “Do you want to go out for lunch?”
*ten seconds pass while my sister and I digest this*
Me: “… we JUST had lunch… ???”
Mom: “Oh, I meant tomorrow after church!”
*sister and I roll our eyes at each other due to Mom’s lack of context*
Mom, in Richmond: “Let’s go to the X S Cargo store!”
Me: “What are you buying, Mom?”
Mom: “Oh, I have to take video at this event…”
Way to answer the question…

Note to self: Do not microwave chicken for 25 minutes in a row. It will get VERY dry.
I decided to call Chinese Eric at 10:45 AM, and he was actually home! This was awesome, of course! He did get my email, and figured we had a lot to chat about; for sure! We talked about L.A., Pittsburgh, hockey, and the possibility of a hangout in the next few days. I totally understand if his family schedule / sleep is important, of course: he knows this! We wished each other a good day before hanging up, which makes everything better. 
You Are an Online Diary
|
You like documenting your daily life – the ups, downs, and little things that make it special.
You also love to share what’s going on in your life with friends, family, and maybe even a stranger or two.
An online diary is the perfect way for a more social person like yourself to log the day’s events.
Just writing things down in a little book seems a bit lonely to you. You like to discuss your life.
You may even be the type who resists having a ‘diary’ or ‘journal.’ It seems a bit angsty to you.
But when you consider it as more of a daily log, then it becomes a lot more appealing.

Had to restart the FINAL FANTASY V game AGAIN due to only getting one Ghidra enemy in the Ronka Ruins! I am such a pro… NOT! Talked to Jim / Richard / Lindsay / Cody / Sam / Marko / James G. on Mumble tonight about subs (Mr. Sub / Subway), a hamburger chain calling their sweet potato fries “sweet patootie fries” (SO AWFUL!), showers, sandwiches, toast, hockey games, Obama, IIHF Canada-Sweden, Russia, Aaron, Raffi Torres getting suspended for the rest of the series, the 7-11, nachos, and more. Called Mom, who says that Auntie Paula is still alive, she and Dad are going to Europe with Tom and Tom from August 31 to September 22, there’s a lunch of Saturday with Alan, and that the Australian Uncle Bick is coming June 10-14 with his wife. Interesting!

Talked to Cody / Joe / Jim / Jon / Caitlin / Marko / Andrew on Mumble last night about hockey players, Aaron, sports, timeouts, channel issues, Detroit / Chicago, childbirth stories, Raffi Torres, and more. Everyone logged off early, before 8 PM! Tried calling Chinese Eric when I noticed that, but no go there. Not much I can do, but I do understand his needs! Wasn’t able to log into LJ, either – got up at 6:30 AM today, and it wasn’t quite fixed yet. Grr!
Since I actually felt like going out after I took a nap, I went to London Drugs to do some shopping which I’d been putting off for at least a week. Bought on-sale ELEVATE MY BREAKFAST Cocoa Dark Chocolate squares x3 ($2 a box?!), hand sanitizer x3, Method magnolia body wash, St. Ives hydrating lotion with Vitamin E, a “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” teddy bear (Ty Beanie Babies!) for Ayler’s first birthday, and on-sale pads. Was back home within the hour, which is always nice.

Chrystal emailed me this morning to say that she’s not feeling very well today, so can’t make it out here tonight. Hopefully, we can reschedule when she’s feeling better; maybe next week! Missed a Flametongue treasure in the Forest of Moore, so had to restart the entire FINAL FANTASY V game! Took a nap this afternoon; Joe / Jim / Jon / Caitlin / Marko / Andrew woke me up when I heard their voices on Mumble on the other side of the wall. It’s all good, though – at least I don’t necessarily have to make it anywhere today OR tomorrow! We also talked to Cody about games, groundings, Holly, Todd Bertuzzi, report cards, impersonations of black people for Halloween, prospects, hockey players, progress, and more.
Your Ideal Beach Vacation Is Cozy
|
Your idea of a day at the beach is one that feels as natural and as homey as possible.
You dream of living at the beach, and even if you can’t live there permanently, you’d like to be there a while.
Your dream beach getaway would place you right on the beach with your own private quarters.
You’d love to wake up to a beach sunrise and wind down with a beach sunset. And listen to the ocean crashing as you sleep.
For you, the beach is a place to get warm and sleepy. Once you get comfortable, you never want to leave.
More than any type, you belong on the coast permanently. If it isn’t already, then it should be your home.

Christon’s email account has been hacked, since he sent a few people a random link with no explanation. Definitely unlike him! I got up way early, so had to get a nap in after I voted; this caused me to legitimately miss a phone call from Chinese Eric! I did get some sleep, but I was sad at missing the call. Yes, I know this usually happens, but UGH! Since he’s the practically the only person I can stand talking to on the phone and in person for at least a couple of hours at a time, this is bad. Oh well, he was probably on his way out to do stuff. Later tonight, then!
Talked to Cody / Marko / Sam / Jim / Jon / Lindsay on Mumble about the Penguins-Senators game, drafts, power plays, teeth, wounds, bravery, rants, excuses, boobs, Flame Warriors, new words, football, threads, pregnancy, weather, Nebraska / corn / meth, sex, and more.
