Deterrents to Desire

Ugh, recall. Last night, went to Pirates again with Joe in Emeryville. VERY COOL. I didn't squeal or anything, I swear. I loved the movie once again, need to get the soundtrack. Went to Barnes to look for HYD Vol. 1; didn't find it, but they have this whole SHELF full of stuff I want. So if you owe me a present, get me a B'n'N gift certificate or somesuch. Borders, too! =D They have this huge journal sale going on...

Anyway, so after going to Borders, where they HAD *only* one volume of HYD left (which I bought, of course, with what little money -$11- I could get from Mom) Joe and I went to his house for dinner... being that he'd already paid for the movie tickets and everything, so I couldn't exactly ask him to treat me out anywhere... he'd already done that earlier in the week, so that plus Exile (owing him $10) I feel pretty bad. We had lasagna at his house... but I started to get this really rotten headache, feeling very sick and everything...

( monkey...?! )

So he took me home, and I tried to sleep, but I didn't get that much relaxation, my head was pounding THAT much. I felt this lump on the side of my head (I don't ever remember whacking my head on anything), so I was being overly paranoid for a while there, thinking I maybe had a tumor. BAKA! I can't afford to be paranoid. Took some aspirin, went right to bed.

Woke up some hours later... Harry called, but he realized I was sleeping, so he let me go back to sleep. Got up some hours later, watched Initial D second stage (to be frank, I might be losing interest. First Stage was so gripping...) and had some waffles. Jonathan called, since he told me he wouldn't be busy today. And even though I really wasn't in the mood for talking on the phone (still am not) I guess I ended up trying to strike conversation (he's frustrating in that he doesn't talk much) I ended up inviting him over around 4 or so to watch Battle Royale... maybe I'll nap or watch Terminator in the meanwhile, but I really don't care.

I don't think I can go to RTA tonight, and it probably wouldn't be much fun anyway-- being broke, owing Joe money, etc. I was thinking, I wonder if I could make money telling fortunes at Pier 39, but you probably need a permit to do it or something, not to mention I'd only feel comfortable telling fortunes to my friends, and I wouldn't charge them.

( urg. gross. )

So... yeah, that's at 4:00. I'm really feeling out of it... kind of tired and sick, so I suppose I'll try relaxing a bit, maybe sleeping until 3pm or so. Not much to do, really... ugh, I feel sick.

Subject has nothing to do with the entry, aside from the fact that I just mentioned it here. Okay, well, I didn't go to RTA. I could have, though, because Mom actually OFFERED to give me money. But I was just feeling so ick, I'm not at all upset I missed out. Besides, it doesn't seem like there were a lot of people there, as per what Joe told me... at least PsyJoe and Aaron, but that's it that I heard.

So I sat at home sleeping-- Jonathan didn't come over, as I called him a half hour before he was expected to tell him I felt sick. What did he say? "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Not like, dismissive or anything, just like... non-conversational. It's bordering on annoying, and I've only spoken to him all of three times in the past two and a half weeks. So figure it like this, if he thinks we're in any kind of a relationship, he's sorely mistaken. The least the guy could do is ask me how I'm doing, if I'm okay, and he hopes I get better. This is the tradeoff for having guys that don't compare you to all their exes; the younger ones tend to be immature. In a funny twist of fate, I've noted as a trend (with the guys I've been with... well, some of them, anyway) that guys, post-virginity, tend to become more immature, while girls seem to get MORE mature. Of course, as with every rule, there are exceptions... And besides, that's just my observations.

Anyway, so I woke up a while later, Mom was planning on going out for a drink with her friends and then going to Gary's (where she is now, and will presumably spend the night)... so I watched T2 again, this time with all the Interactive Features. So the catch is this-- you can watch the Special Edition (Widescreen) with all the cut-out scenes left in, seamlessly... and likewise, you can watch the SE with features added in-- subtitles and such talking about the scenes, and special "exit featurettes" you can skip to by pressing Enter on the remote. I did this a bunch during the movie (which, with the featurettes, was about 3 hours long) and ended up getting screwed up time-wise, having to restart the DVD player/the movie a few times. But it was worth it, cuz I got a bunch of cool info! =D

Sad thing is I don't have a working DVD-ROM to play with all those featurettes, like this studio that lets you turn yourself into a Terminator! COOOOOOOOL! ;_; I need to get my compie fixed.

Anyway, currently making muffins (something I had in mind for about a week). Thankfully, my headache has subsided to mere aches-- the usual stuff. Not brain-tumory like yesterday and such. Feeling much better. I guess cooking and stuff relaxes me. (Un)fortunately, I also got inspired for more HYD-ficness, which will undoubtedly piss off my expectant Inuyasha readers, or even the Star Ocean ones. I still get reviews once or twice a week, begging me to update because either "Dream a Dream" or "Perfect World" is good. I love the compliments, but making that fandom switch is hard! ;_; Besides, Rochelle still has my Inuyasha episodes!!

Okay, so the HYD ideas are stashed HERE:
( boys before flowers, ladies, BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS! )

Hmm, muffin batter is yummy, and the muffins themselves shall be done in 12 minutes! 6 plain and 6 cinnamon-raisin! YUMM!

Geez, I just got a review for my nearly-dead IY fic "A Christmas To Remember." Well, we are getting close to the holidays, but I seriously have to focus on so many other fics... @_@ *frustrated*

Well, assuming it doesn't stress me out, I guess I know what I'll be working on them...
