HFCS: effika’s blog

Maybe I should explain that last post:
For a very long time I have been unable to eat meat w/o bad stuff going on in my stomache. Doctor’s don’t know why exactly, just kinda shoved it in with all my other screwed-up-digestive-system stuff. Chicken was the last meat I could eat comfortbly. Yesterday [...]

I’ve had a rough couple of days/nights.
College is scary, but even more scary are the evil loan overlords. They are worse than the Dark Lords of the Sith. They are like Charles when he plays Monopoly: he’ll insult you and try to trick Jason (or you, but mostly Jason) out of money.
Monopoly [...]

I had an odd dream last night. Whether good or bad judgement, I shall post it here.
I was in some sort of dorm, maybe a cheap hotel, for some sort of camp. I think debate camp. Things involving orange sodas and mini-fridges happen. Then it’s night, and I go downstairs. [...]

I made a realization tonight. I’m still kind of emotionally frazzled, and this realization surprised me.
I was reading through some old e-mails that Ryan and I had sent between us, just after we were officially officially something (meaning that yes, we had met in person by that time). Usually when I read those [...]

My days are getting monotonous. I suppose it’s time to spice everything up somehow… of course, right now that means getting Paul to let me borrow his NGE divx’s so I can finally see the end of that series. Ryan watched /Donnie Darko/ last night and loved it. I think tomorrow I’ll [...]

I dl’d some NGE music videos tonight… some are really good– Asuka’s last stand set to Rage Against the Machine’s Sleep Now in the Fire is well done, so is one set to Rammstein… but one takes the cake. It’s set to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Good song applied very well to a good [...]

I always get so freaked out about my body. Well whatever it is my body’s fighting it (lymph nodes not doing anything different, guess that’s good) and I feel tired, so I’m going to bed at 6 this morning.
Oh, something nice happened to me today. I went to the coffee shop to [...]

slept from 7am to 4.30 pm. straight. My body certainly needed it. I feel a little better today but drained of energy. It’s odd. For a week I feel slightly dizzy and my sinuses almost kill me; the day I feel ok my lymph nodes swell painfully and I feel [...]

Old news, I know, but here’s my take on it. (A link to a nytimes article (registration req’d))
A lot of people, when they game, discover tactics that they label as “cheap” and so do not use them in play, and expect others to do the same. The tactics are usually ones [...]

They Have Blogs!
Funny, go see! *points up*
Kind of a writing-suffers-from-exhaustion kind of thing today. This means I will be largely incoherrant and very talkative. Ready? Let’s go!
I felt a lot better today– I even was able to go running! I did 4 laps today, which I /think/ is a mile. The [...]

Ryan and I used to be a Savage Garden Truely Madly Deeply kind of relationship. Then some stuff happened, and more stuff, and more stuff. Now it’s more like It’s Charging by Drew kind of thing. Or maybe something more upbeat… I’m not sure. Yes, still up and tiredish from that last [...]

Ryan had to beat it into my head that my friends don’t invite me places just to make fun of me. I have a dentist appointment in 4 hours. It’s at 9am, it’s almost 5 here. Yay. Saw Signs tonight with Charles and Paul and Jason. It was ok, some [...]

Here I am after twenty minutes of sleep before the dentist. My teeth are all clean and shiny now. The hygenist has a son about my age and we’ve grown up together for the most part; he left for college last year. So we talked about college and she gave me some [...]

This post is probably going to anger a lot of people. If you think you are one of those, I’m letting you know now that you don’t have to read it. It involves critiques of some recent Christian’s actions. For the record, yes, I have religion.
This isn’t directed at anyone in general, but [...]

Today was boring… woke up about 3.30pm after not realizing I’d fallen alseep, talked to Ryan a little before taking my grandmother grocery shopping. We met a lot of people she knew there, and I talked to one of my friend’s mom’s who was also shopping then.
After that I came home and did nothing [...]

Somehow while typing this post I hit too many keys at once and Mozilla closed on me!
Got my sheets and mattress pad in from JC Penny’s. Still have a lot of things to do and gather to get ready for college in the next week and a half. I can’t believe it’s that [...]

I am staying up 24 hours to try to get my sleeping pattersn back together. Ryan’s staying up with me! Watch this post for updates!
9.15am
both Ryan and I are getting silly and spelling stuff in wrong ways. Weee!
9.40am
Ryan gets suckered into mowing the lawn. I consider taking a leisurely jog to get myself [...]

Check the previous post for my sleep-deprived day. It was fun and yet tiring. It was also kind of odd. Ryan and I were keeping each other up, and so when one of us conked out for 10 or 15 minutes by the comp unintentionally it was filled with anxiety. What [...]

Here’s another dream for you! And yes, this post is at 10.20am or so. Ryan’s not up yet, but I was able to actually get up at my alarm. I’m happy!
I hung around with a group of geeks, real bad losers each one in the lot. I met them [...]

Ugh, what a day. Hung out with David who has turned into one of the most boring people on earth. We rented some DVD’s to watch, unfortunately Donnie Darko was out, so we rented Pi, I am Sam, an anime about an angel who has a Hard Time Doing What He/She wants, and [...]

Things I did today:
Nothing.
Got up late when Charles called about 20 to 1. The health dept. was out of vaccine so we’re trying again tomorrow.
Took a shower then, but was too lazy to get dressed all the way so I just put on some pj’s and lazed around. I ate about 4. [...]

Woohoo! Look at “Pie” go on the poll!
I *heart* pie. Mmmm….

Today I accomplished everything on my list except the bank account!
I learned some lessons, too: The Health Dept. does not take checks (that was a hassle to deal with), and Charles’ idea of a fun time is a luggage sale. I’m /serious/. He wanted to do something fun after I’d gotten back [...]

Ok, I did it, I’ll actually put mine up here…

Which HTML Tag Are You?. Made by: lj user “_pause”
Yes, I actually followed a trend! News later tonight.

Last night I burned my fingers really badly getting a bowl of ramen out of the microwave. Why my parents refuse to consider any other place to put it is beyond me– I have to stand on tip-toes to get things in/out of it and have requested they move it about once a month, [...]

In related quiz-type news, the Final Fantasy Male I Could Be Sleeping With is Squall, from FFVIII. Ryan thinks this character is most like him (I tend to agree sometimes) so I suppose it’s accurate to a point. Heh.
Ok, that’s it for now with all the quiz-reporting stuffs. :-)

Mom was serious on her offer of Hunan’s so I drove and got us take-out. Mmmm… good stuff. Although I think I’ll stick to the vegetarian special egg foo young, it has more veggies. I got the chicken variety, and it didn’t have any baby corn at all! But sweet and [...]

Pi is a very good movie. Most things about it are just plain great, such as the soundtrack and the acting. I think the only thing that annoyed me was the heavily digitized graniness of the black and white film. The contrast differences were interesting and I think added quite a lot to [...]

Today I fell asleep waiting for Ryan to get up. Not a long time, only about 30 minutes or so.
I went out to Denny’s with David one last time before college. He’s not so boring as last time I talked with him. Of course, that week everybody seemed boring. Ryan was [...]

It is Sunday.
I have 3 days to do laundry, buy needed items, and pack before college.
3 days.

I think I am going to throw my new sleeping habbit away tomorrow night. I need all the time I can to prepare.
Anyway I ran today; I did make up for yesterday’s [...]
