Where, oh where has my appetite gone?
Jun. 18th, 2004 02:51 pmSo, aside from my sleep schedule being totally screwed up, I'm also unable to really eat anything properly. I can try, but I usually won't finish it. Which explains my lack of energy, motivation to do anything, and probably why I'm so lethargic. o_O I wonder what it means?
Well, the news doesn't help any. A guy in Iraq got BEHEADED. As in, head detached from body. >_< *sigh* And here Harry's leaving to go to "The Magical Land of Iraq" on the 20th. It's already the 18th, and we haven't hooked any plans to meet up with him... I know he wants to spend time with his family, and I'm TRYING -really quite hard- to be the optimist here, thinking that come on, this is Harry, nothing can get this guy down, and he'll be back in 6 months. I mean hey, Richard came back from Kuwait, but somehow that's not the same. And I know I'm not the only one that thinks Harry might 'accidentally' get himself into a situation that he can't get out of. Yes, I'm worried, yes, I'm freaked out.
I DO NOT WANT TO TURN ON THE NEWS ONE DAY AND FIND OUT MY FRIEND HAS BEEN BEHEADED!
If that's not enough to make you lose your appetite, I don't know what is. But I've had ENOUGH death to last me a lifetime, and I frankly don't think that more, on my FRIEND'S side is going to help my already shrink-case-worthy brain any more.
In somewhat happier news, it looks like I'm actually starting to get a schedule:
* Sunday, the 20th -- I haven't made plans with my Dad, but of course I'm going to call him and wish a Happy Father's Day. In lieu of any other plans, I plan on going to the Alice 97.3 SummerThing in Golden Gate Park, from 12-4. Anyone wanna come with me? Music, food, points... it's a bored teen's joyride.
* Thursday, the 24th -- I believe this is the day when FAITH closes its doors, but throws a big celebration with La Bouche to go out with a bang. I wanna go, and am awaiting more details from Fredsville.
* Week of June 27th - July 30th -- Usa Week. I REALLY need to get making layouts, awards, and all that jargon. Plus I might want to, OH I DON'T KNOW, maybe FINISH a Sailormoon fic!? Yeah, that'd be nice. *flat look*
* July 4th -- Well, since it's kind of moot at this point to think that I can magically/legally obtain $250 out of nowhere, I don't think I'll be doing the Anime Expo thing. And while it would be a nice idea to do the traditional Dad-and-Mer holiday where we watch fireworks, blow some of our own up, and barbecue some meat, it's a bit hard to do any of that on a horse ranch. SOOOOOO... Mike gave me a call earlier (!) and he's going to be in town that weekend; we're going to grab dinner somewhere and maybe watch the fireworks from the Docks. >_> It's a nice thought and everything, but I just keep thinking of the alternative (being in LA at Anime Expo... with people... and... blah. Yeah). So much for the optimist, ne?
Aiyah-- and now, two of my favorite men butt heads-- the director/star of "Super Size Me," and John Stossel. Looks like I'll be watching 20/20 tonight.
What else? Yesterday I wrote more of "The Rose Chronicles," though it's coming along slowly since I still have loads of research to do; does anyone know where I can find info about food, dress/fashion, and other similar things during the 1480s (England)? Believe you me, it's harder than it sounds. I keep seeing the same regurgitation of info wherever I go. I also wrote a bit of Chapter 3 and a HUGE chunk of Chapter 7 (I know, but I write out of order these days) of "Prophecy Girl." ~_~ Yay.
And for some bizarre reason, I *really* want to work on Chapters 10 and 11 for WDKY-- though it's frustrating me the fact that I haven't worked on the KiSS doll I planned at all. I really need a tablet for that, and again, I don't have the money for it. So maybe I'll hold off on it until like, chapter 18 (halfway done celebration!) or something. I just can't do it with a mouse; the one I have kinda sucks.
Gah. I think I'm supposed to meet Steph soon. I wish I had money so I could go to C&C and buy new Ancient Sanctuary packs. Moreover, I'd like to know why *MY* YVD is buggy, but Mamono's is not. *cries*
