LJ isn’t cool enough for my ‘real’ posts.

Updated the site a tad. Played with the topic image so it lined up with the rest of the images, and added in my webcam. Streaming live 24/7… or whenever I’m at my computer.

I escaped last weekend to go visit Rachel. We both had long weeekends thanks to President’s day, so we got to spend an extra day together. Unfortunately she was irritated for most of the weekend and that set me off so we were both in bad moods most of the time. It really sucked. I want a do-over.

Sold my DDR marquees fo $400. Definitly happy about that. I’ve gonna save most of the money and set it aside… used a bit of it already though. Had to get my oil changed, and bought a USB PCI card. I’m sick of swapping out stuff all the time with only 2 USB ports. Now I have 5 more to play with.

Finals are coming up. I’m pretty sure I’ll do fine. I’m going to get into the work-study program at school too, just gotta submit my resume and they’re gonna fit me in. The money will definitly come in handy, especially since my hours aren’t getting any better.

Overall things have been pretty good I guess, at least for the past couple days. Been going out at night seeing people, so it’s refreshing to not be home all night long.

Feeling better.

I’ve had a rough week, needless to say. Lots of nervous breakdowns, crying, just general unhappiness. And I just can’t pinpoint where it all came from. No matter though, I’m over it now. Rachel comes home Wednesday night and is staying through the weekend. I’m overly excited about that. Right now, that’s what I need the most.

Work isn’t getting any better, really. I’m still unhappy there but I’m gonna see about getting some work-study at college to help me financially. My mom says they pay pretty well – as much as I make right now at Wegmans – so that would be a nice boost.

The one other thing bugging me was the I recently got totally fed up with people IMing me only to bug me for computer help and to talk about internet-related things. Yeah I help run a few websites, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a life outside them. I think I drove the point home when I changed my screenname and everyone looked at my profile. Much better now. I actually get people holding conversations with me! It’s great.

Been playing a lot of Beatmania IIDX recently to pass some time. I’m progressively getting better at it; I can pass most 4s and 5s on L7. I know it’s not much… but considering I just started to play like a week ago, I’d say it’s going pretty well.

The stand for my MIDI keyboard finally came in the mail too; it’s at Rachel’s house so I’ll have to get that when she comes home. Playing piano has always relaxed me.
