HFCS: effika’s blog

This weekend actually wasn’t so bad.

I got Sean’s screennames for aim and Y!, and so I talked to him a lot Saturday. I also talked to Garret and Zach and Kurt– people I haven’t talked to in a long time since I’m never on aim anymore. My y! name is effika if you want to add me and see what’s up. I tend to be on late at night, 12-1am central time weekdays and 2am-4am weekends, and random times in between.

I spent most of Saturday and Sunday in bed reading. I felt like sh*t so I wasn’t really concerned about not seeing Ryan. I read The Voodoo Queen, a book we’re supposed to start in Vampires and Voodoo. It’s about Marie Laveau and her times in New Orleans. It’s an OK book, but certainly good enough to pass the time with this weekend. It wasn’t very long so I finished it. Ryan called me about 11pm Saturday to see if I wanted to come eat with him and his younger brother. So I came over and we went to the Cate Center with them and Charles. I ate Ryan’s crust from his pizza since I’d already eaten and just wanted a snack. After that we went back to Ryan’s dorm and had fun with GTA Vice City. It’s a pretty nice little game.

Sunday Ryan woke me up about 11.30am asking if I wanted to come to lunch with him and his family. My throat had turned raw overnight and I hadn’t showered or anything. I declined as politely as I could, then e-mailed him about how sorry I was I had to refuse their offer of a friendly lunch. I figured it was best if I didn’t see them since it appeared by all acounts I was getting sick, and I didn’t want to spread it to them. I went back to sleep for a while before getting up and showering (steam and warm water feel so good on my throat), then spent the day in bed reading. Ryan called me that evening, and since I’d been feeling better I got dressed and went over. Paul had returned when I got there! I was very happy to see him again. The three of us went to dinner shortly thereafter. I started to not feel so good about 10.30, so Ryan took me home and we talked and made some amends and I got to cuddle up in his lap for about an hour.

I’m now wasting away some time at the comp, as I don’t feel tired just yet and my roommate’s asleep so I can’t read in bed. I’ve borrowed Ryan’s copy of Ringworld to read. I feel so lost without a book to read. I’m glad I have one again.

I am beginning to really like this grey, but I’m thinking a new colorscheme will begin to surface soon. I thought about a redesign… I think new colors will do for now. A redesign will probably come along in a few months, I expect.
