I graduated highschool for a reason, and it wasn't to go to college.
Eddie the Eagle, otherwise known as last season's worst goalie (no, we're not counting the backup goalie who I can't spell worth a crap), just got canned. Sweet fucking Jesus. That was one *really*, *really* bad goalie. I mean, he was good once… and he had a decent record last year… but the guy's a total flop. As soon as the first rumors floated around that there was a possibility management wouldn't pick up the extra year on his contract, the guy fakes a back injury with like 2 months left in the season thereabouts, and I know damn well he was faking it. So, judgement day came up, and voila, master faker doesn't get picked up for the extra year. Suckith to be you. Maybe the former Boston goalie will actually do us some good. Belfor was a loser.

Dad and my brother in the same house for more than 24 hours, and they end up having another one of their little discussions. Yep, definitely gotta be a holliday tomorrow. Seems they have at least one of those discussions of theirs every time there's a reason for them to be within 5 feet of each other for anything more than an hour. Rediculous, really, but I guess it's to be expected. At least the bullshit didn't start flying 'til after we got back from the restaurant and such this time. The two of them are so alike it'd be amusing if it wasn't overly irritating. Neither listens, and both develop very short tempers. Shorter than mine with stupid people. If this is an indication of how the next 2 days are gonna go, I'm very thankful I bought me a case of beer… it's gonna be more than a little tiny bit needed. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Family hurts my frackin head.

Well, we had the combined birthday party dinner thing for me, mom, my brother, and his bitch I mean girlfriend… wasn't too bad. The food was semi-decent, service sucked, and everyone but me, my dad, my uncle and the bitch stayed sober. For the record, that isn't actually her name… but it's what she is, so it works. Then, we swung by the beer store on my way home, and picked up my Canadia day stock. IT's all good, now, for tomorrow… fireworks watching while less than sober. The awesomeness of it all. And now, I'm… like… $35 poorer, and sufficiently full from supper. And it only actually took us an hour to eat and such. Something about that just… impresses me. I haven't the foggiest idea why. Well, other than the fact there were 7 of us in all and it usually takes 3 of us that long to get done eating and things. I think we set a family record.

And, the last day or so has seen a lot of their best players re-signed, some to multiple year contracts. The most recent awesome player to be resigned for the Leafs is Brian McCabe. So, the team won't fall apart at the seems next season. And it's a damn good thing he was resigned, too… he'd of become a free agent on Saturday.

As so evidenced by the fact the first thing I saw when I got up this morning was a card with $100 stuck in it. All I can say about that is… wow. Just… absolutely… wow. And I wasn't even sure what the hell I wanted for my birthday. Not that it matters, really… it's really just another day, to me. But, she made a point to ask me every 6 hours (I think it was maybe a little more often than that) and I was still clueless as hell, so I dunno. So now I get to decide what the hell I'm spending $100 on. Well, I do want a new cell phone.
I guess the biggest surprise, though, is I have time to actually post something here. Considering I didn't expect to be home as much as I am, and don't expect to be home much longer, that's a miracle in itself. My mother's going all out for supper tonight, it looks like… ordering things in, picking up a cake… even though I told her not to bother with it. Heh. Guess that's what makes her awesome… I'll decide that one for sure later tonight. LOL

I've probably complained about it in passing before, but oh well. Now, every time I turn on the news (yes, I'm insane enough to actually watch it), I cringe and flip channels. The top three storiees, more or less, never cease to not surprise me. Front page usually consists of: Iraq–someone's threatening or killing or kidnapping someone, Isreal/Palistine–rocket attack, retaliatory suicide bombing, shelling, wash, rince, repeat, and the US screaming bloody murder about both stories–Bush is picking up where his daddy and Clinton left off with the talking tough and doing absolutely as little as possible to actually prove a point. It wouldn't bother me quite so much if I lived in the US–I'd probably expect to hear about it all kinds of often, then. But I live in Canada, and the back and forth jabbering on about it doesn't involve us. So why's the Canadian media focusing almost entirely on it? Yeah, we have troops over there. We had troops in Bosnia, too, and in Cyprus, and they didn't get this kind of coverage. We don't have troops in Isreal and that, so are they just using that to fill up space on the front page? I'm a huge patriotism nut at times, I'll freely admit that. But damn… at least talk about something we can be patriotic about, if you're gonna yammer on and on for bloody ever anyway. Like… I dunno… something local, rather than half a world away where if we're lucky we have 3 citizens!

For a crazy old lady, My grandma still rocks plenty. It's still almost a week before my birthday, but she already gave me my present. Yeah, I know, I'm 23 fucking years old in a week and don't need presents. Well, I'm not about to tell her no.. especially when she sticks $20 in a card and calls it a birthday present. So instead, part of that $20 will go towards coffee tomorrow morning, or whenever it is we get around to getting out and doing things. Hm… which, come to think of it, probably won't be tomorrow morning, or tomorrow at all. Because I'm still lazy as fuck, even though I now have money for caffeine.

So, we decided to go to a party last night for some person's wedding that I've never even heard of, never mind actually met, and it turned out to be more of a rehearsal for the reception than anything else. The music sucked muchly, there were speeches of all sorts I thought would never end… yeah, it was kind of rediculous.

Your Personality Is Rational (NT)
You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!
Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
In fact, you're often a little short with people who don't impress you mentally.
You seem distant to some - but it's usually because you're deep in thought.
Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.
In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.
At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.
With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well.
As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.
On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.

Yep, I can see it now. I can't work there, yet I'd end up lasting longer than he does. Assuming, of course, I can get them to look at me. I love your logic sometimes… it's so easy to tear to pieces.

A wapping 5 posts in one day…. have I gone completely and totally off my rocker?! And I'm no more or less busy today than any other day… granted, 3 of them are quizes and such, but still. Well, okay, so I was more bored than I am most days. Still. 5 posts in 1 day? *1* day! Owww…

Criticisms come after. Quiz results first!
What makes you happy?(great pix,honest results)
The thing that makes you happy,even though you might not realise it is LOVE and caring. You like to spend quiet time at home with you family or hang with your friends. You're a very emotonal person and you cant possibly survive without love in your life.You're really funloving and can make most people laugh (i kinda envy you for that),you also probably have tons and tons of friends not to mention all the people who envy you secretly and will try to invade your private life, if you let them too close - and all that just because you're such a nice person.Watch out though - a person such as you is very vulnerable when it comes to trusting. Don't over do it…as optimistic a you are, in reality there are many treators. In love you can only find happyness with someone opposite to you (like..character i mean). He/she'll complete you in a unimaginable way and make you feel truly special and unique. If you find that person, the two of you'll be like Cindarella and her prince charming.Good luck and please rate if you liked the result.

Hm. Let's see. Crappy english, this quiz is bordering on girly, and some of the questions, IMO anyway, didn't really make sense. But that's just me. Stupid quiz…

Well, 3 years later and it looks like Shadow Siege is the one going downhill. This after, almost 3 years ago to the day, its co-owners were pretty much swearing up and down it would be Eternal Struggle that would fall apart once they left. There's something satisfying about hearing that, not only have most of the people that followed the mass exitus away from ES when SS was originally created, but also most of the newer players have gotten fed up with the bullshit and left. So much for a RP friendly atmosphere, eh Mina?
Shadow Siege is a specialised type of mud in that it is roleplay enforced. This means that the focus is not to go out and kill anything that moves, but rather to put up with the staff trying to direct RP in exactly the manner they want it to proceed, and kill off those characters that attempt to stray away from our neat little script, while giving all sorts of IC perks to the people we happen to be friends with OOCly.
There. Now it looks the way it's supposed to.

Your Bumper Sticker Should Be Barbie is not a slut - her legs won't open
Hm. And this came up when I said I didn't *have* a car. Stupid quiz.

Apparently, this person didn't want the result from the quiz I just took to be copied. Well, we don't always get what we want. It won't have the usual styles and whatnot as the others, but oh well.
You would be a…. A Black Magic Demon.Your hunger for Power and Acknowledgement still burns in your soul.
You like to cause fights so others will notice your well being and power, and because you like challenges.
What kind of demon would *you* be? I can already answer that for a few people… *cough cough*

Reports of my insanely illness, though, right on the money. No idea exactly what happened… I was perfectly fine most of yesterday. Well, fine enough that I still managed to joke around with people on ES for an hour or so anyway, before I rolled my fat ass into bed. Guess something I ate didn't agree with me though, because I didn't stay there long. But I'm still alive, and it obviously wasn't a virus or anything, seeing as I'm perfectly fine now. I just wish I knew what the hell did it to me so I can not do it again. But, ah well. First time in like 3 years I got that sick, or sick at all, so maybe I was just due. In less related news, I'm still unemployed. At least I have nothing from which to call in sick.

I don't have a clue how long it'll last, of course, but I'll take what I can get now that my brother and his oh so bitch girlfriend are gone to do whatever it is they do when they're not here. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for hanging out with people… but I have to tolerate them first. Neither of them come close to tolerable. So given the choice between them and the house to myself, I'll take the latter. Which is what I have. Which works out just awesome for me. Antisocial? You're damn right.

Ordinarily, that would put me right the hell to sleep. But for some odd reason tonight, no such luck. I dunno if it's just because I'm thinking about things, or what, but this is the first time in a long time I'm up this early/late and don't want to be. It's odd, because I know full well I'm tired, and it's probably gonna show up tomorrow morning and punch me in the face, but sleep just ain't happening. Ah well. Maybe if I decide to do another quiz or two it'll put me to sleep. In the meantime, I shall stick my playlist on random, watch whatever happens to be going on on ES, and flake out. I'd say RP, but there would be no RPing tonight. I'm braindead… my body just doesn't want to join it.

I do believe we shall. I haven't the foggiest idea what it is I'll put here, but I'm all for 3 posts in 2 hours anyway. Make up for the occasional entry that might have got missed in the rebuild. Not that I think any actually have, but with the way I tend to rebuild things, that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Ah well. At 6:00 AM EST, that will all become pointless. Yay backup scripts that do my backing up for me!

Also, because I haven't done one of these in a while. The newly restored database doesn't lie!
How are you going to die?
bloody death: you have had a good life, but obviously, someone didn't like you. They decided to rip out your intestines and hang you from the ceiling by them. It happens to the best of us…

Something about this amuses me. But I've admited to being a *little* twisted.
Stuck under quizes by James at 11:45 PM
Of course, there wouldn't have been a catastrophy in the first place if I'd actually, you know, thought what I was doing through last night. But that's just me. So anyway. I was moving the database I use to a new server, which required that I download it from the old one. Well, in doing so, PHPMyAdmin decided it would screw up my backup of the database. And of course, stupid little old me didn't think to set up the new database before deleting the old one, figuring, you know, the backup is stable enough it'll work. Well, Murphy's law dropped by to say hello, and anything that could go wrong… did. So, I spent half an hour cursing Murphy's law last night, and cursing PHPMyAdmin, and 5 minutes slapping together a script that would prevent me from being stupid again. I'm no PHP expert, mind you, but it works! So, yes, I say I lost the database but the website appears for the most part to be intact. Well, it turns out that whehn I set this thing up *way* back at the end of January, I was actually thinking. You can faint now. Normally, I'd be the first to jump on the "static pages are bad" bandwagon. But in this case, staticly built pages saved my ass. Each and every entry had its own little HTML file that didn't get squashed when I fucked up the database. And I still had the original template files from when I actually figured out what the hell I was doing with the site, so replacing those wasn't hard. So the better part of the day, meaning up until I started writing this entry, was spent with just me, and the cut/paste commands while I rebuilt the site one tiny little entry at a time. But, with the exception of a few comments on one entry, fortunately the only entry that ever got comments, I think we're all back together, patchwork and all. The moral of the story? Fuck you, Murphy's law. I own you!

To do so, it's going to cost me probably around $192.30 for a round trip bus ticket. So, the reunion gets temporarily sidelined until I can invent me some
more money. But, I'm at least on the guest list, so that counts for something. Ah well. On the bright side, it means I get to sit on my ass for another
weekend. Lazy is such awesome goodness. And now, I go do crap before I RP. Yay doing crap.
