I hate being sick for the simple reason that I can’t stand waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep. I’ve been up for about 2 hours now, and it completely sucks ass. To make matters worse, Eddie is snoring - I can hear him from out here - so even if I wanted to go back in tere, I wouldn’t get to sleep.

I was messing around on Myspace tonight looking up people from my high school. That amused me for a little while. I did manage to find one of my first boyfriends, so I sent off a message and got asked if I was going to the reunion in a couple of weeks. As of right now, I doubt we will be, because that’s $80 we don’t have with me being in school right now. Especially considering that there were only about 10 people that I hung out with.

What didn’t amuse me on myspace was the fact that 90% of the site’s members seemed to have ignored the memo sent out back in 1996 clearing stating the following:

Rules of Internet and Etiquette within Cyberspace, Section 4, paragraph 2
Do not, under any circumstances, embed music or video into your page. Not everyone wants to hear the latest hit from Dishwalla or Smashing Pumpkins, and the loading time for such files varies from “tolerable-speed” on 48.8bps modem to “please god let it finish loading sometime in this lifetime-speed” on an older 9600bps modem. Plus, only newbies on Tripod, Geocities, and Angelfire embed media like midis, videos, or the new mp3 format.

Each and every one of you media-embedders will be hearing from the internet police. They were the ones who came to me in 1997, waving this memo in my face, and calmly explained to me that I realy, really needed to take the “I Will Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)” midi off my homepage.

*yawn*

Still not sleepy. I just heard Pickle make some dream-squeaks. I really should try to go to sleep, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon unless I drag my pillow and blankets out here because he’s still in there snoring. I think we’re giving back Nanny’s truck this weekend. We left it there last night because I was sleepy and stuffy when we left Mom’s, and I didn’t want to drive. This will be nice, because now I can drive down to Mom’s after school at a later time, since I’ve got to pick up Eddie, and since it appears that I’ll be spending every single night over there for the next two weeks, I’ll enjoy that extra hour or two spent not-at-Mom’s. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family, but I will go insane if I’m forced to be there every fucking night, which is what’s going to happen.

*sigh*

Can you tell I’m tired? I’m bitching about family again.

Today we’re supposed to go rake leaves, something I’m decidedly unenthused about doing. Yes, that makes me a horrible daughter for not wanting to help my mother out with yard work. Later we (eddie, his mom, and me) are going to Silver Dragon to get our cards read. I don’t think Eddie will, but I’m game for it.
