HFCS: effika’s blog

This year’s New Year’s Eve wasn’t as good as last year’s NYE, but I was profoundly less bored. I could have used some cuddling like last year though; cuddling kicks ass.
Here’s what happened this time:
12.45pm: Sean calls to wish me an early Happy New Year’s.
1.30pm: I take my grandmother to open a CD with [...]

Ryan is worried about my interactions with the guys, bringing up these points:
1. They started hating me for apparently no reason.
2. They said some extremely aweful stuff behind my back.
3. They’ve started hanging out with me for apparently no reason.
4. I haven’t been over to just chill and hang out [...]

Where is this little gnome from?

I’ve been absent from here for a while, I know.
I’m surprised I haven’t been as bored as I was worried I’d be over the break. Probably has to do with 8bit, bash.org, SimCity 4, the Gamecube and N64 (I’m going to miss those terribly), and the virtues of Trillian.
I still have Toblerone left… Yay!
Can’t [...]

*southern accent* I got powerful owned on the phone this evenin’ *end accent*
Little does he know I have NEWS of THINGS and STUFF.
I am going to have the upper hand, here. HA!
(Long drives are bad for my brain.)
My back hurts from carrying in my monitor… Maybe I should have come back on Friday (when [...]

Sooo… I have a job.
The only person who seems excited about it is my mom.
Woo.

Drew rocks.
Is it wrong that I find this so funny?

I’ve been craving the dairy products like /mad/ lately.
I even bought cheese sticks tonight! I never eat those; I haven’t ever really been fond of cheese.
I’m trying to learn how to make grilled cheese sandwhiches on my own, too.
I have a half-gallon of real 1% milk in my fridge (I felt like “splurging” and [...]

I did it! I made grilled cheese!! On the stove even! (Good idea, Pat :-)
Boyz ‘n tha Hood by Dynamite Hack is funny.
ALSO: There are answers now as to my upload problems. Apparently, says tech support, I’m so far away from the central servers for my area it was surprising I was rated [...]

Yes, Gabe, thank you:
I just dont understand the game industrie’s fascination with 3D shit. The goddamn dimension has been around for ever but they act like they just fucking discovered it. When humans started sculpting they didnt give up painting. Obviously 2D graphics and game play were not an artistic choice 15 years ago.
Also, [...]

It’s like Silent Hill outside right now. Foggy, eerie noises, there’s some kinda train going by making train noises, trees look all messed up… scary.

Sometimes things just feel right.
How can things be so simultaneously not-right and right at the same time? It’s like tea, and no tea (bonus points for catching the reference).
Suddenly everything’s ok, and I can turn off my brain and rest for a while.

Why can’t my nose behave normally and let stuff drip out the front instead of the back? Post-nasal drip is so horrible. My throat’s raw and red and I can barely eat and drink. Sucrets are helping, and so is the Claritin to stop the drainage, but I still feel so absolutely [...]

From Wired:
“What’s happening is that a bunch of bureaucrats are wanting to feel decisive, to show they can make the tough calls to support the president’s moon and Mars program. They’ll say: ‘Much as it might rend our hearts, we’re willing to give this up.’ That’s all a crock,” Zubrin said. “If the first [...]
