Darn my carpal tunnel. My wrist hurts, I can’t play any more. Lame. I even dragged out my Diablo II Strategy Guide. Oh well. I don’t know what to do now.

Lol, “Don’t let those people stay here past two–go somewhere else.” I knew my dad was going to say something about last night. Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it fun, but we camped out in my barn last night, listening to records and drinking vodka and Mike’s Hard Cranberry. Joe got SOOOO trashed, he puked all over Tawna’s leg. We had to take him inside and clean him up, he was so totally out of it. I’m kind of weirded out if that’s his idea of fun. Well, it was fun until he started puking. I didn’t drink much because I had work the next day. Tawna and I were mostly just buzzed, but Joe was totally in incoherent mode. We were all climbing around my barn, we had blacklights and christmas lights up and the record player going and we played “Never have I ever.” I guess it was kind of a mistake to play that game…you’re supposed to discover disturbing things about each other, but Tawna and Joe are virgins, so it was kind of pointless. We made popcorn…lots of popcorn. I’m actually still munching on the big bowl of it that we made. The backseat of my car is filled with records from when we cleaned out the barn and threw everything in my trunk.

I guess it was better than staying up until 2 a.m. playing Diablo II. Well, the next morning Joe puked again and it was around 6 a.m. (he first puked at 2 a.m.) and we were SOOO cold so we piled in my car and blasted the heat. We drove to the beach and waited for the sun to rise. It didn’t happen (it was cloudy), so we drove to the end of my road and back. My dad was still home, unfortunately. We went into my room and slept on my bed for a while, then we woke up and like, got ready to go and everything. I dropped everyone off at their houses then went to work. I had some yummy Earl Grey so that helped get me into work mode. My surround sound system should get here Wednesday! Woot!

I don’t know what to think of last night. Joe kept trying to grope Tawna…it was really weird. Hm. I’ll have to ponder this further. I’m making a CD with “Dizzy” and a few other cool songs on it. I think I’m done with electronica. I move back and forth in 6-month patterns between hard rock (Deftones, Orgy, Manson, NIN) and electronica (what I’ve been listening to lately).

Oh! Today I realized that the cable Internet bill hadn’t shown up and the month was almost over, so I logged on to Charter.net and like the payment was due yesterday, so I paid it. My balance is -$16, but I had my dad pay his half ($20), so I can go and deposit it tomorrow and avoid being charged a fee. I hope they’re open tomorrow, what with it being Thanksgiving weekend. I’ve been playing Sarus, my necromancer, a lot lately. I’ve never been able to make a successful necromancer character, they are so physically frail and one has to devote lots of skill points early on to skills that aren’t useful later on in the game. I hope to break the mold with Sarus. I played Diablo II online for a while, but it was so lame…everybody was cheating. I want to do it at like 1 a.m., then you meet the really cool people. I was playing as Alianora, my sorceress (cuz she has the coolest spells), but it was kind of weird not being the same gender as my character, so next time I think I’ll play as my necromancer or my paladin. I wouldn’t be my barbarian. It’s so not my style. But I should get ready for bed, play Diablo II a bit more, and go to sleep.

Last night was…interesting. I’ll blog about it in detail later. I started this post to say that I just don’t think that Matt M. is going to last. He just seems one step behind the game. I just don’t know. But what I do know is that I get paid Tuesday! Woot! I’m going to buy an alarm clock CD player thing. And that same day (probably) I will get my surround sound system! I’m really looking forward to Tuesday. I will watch The Matrix in surround sound wonder! I finished almost all my tasks at work already, I just have to type up a few letters, but I know that it won’t take me until 2:30, which is when I have to stay until. I have to work at least two hours every day, so about one day a month or so I just don’t have enough to do. But it’s California law, the 2 hours thing, so I have to find something to do. I should type these letters. Just helped Katherine, she was having some problems with the digital camera. They have such cheap equipment here, I swear. But yeah. Type the letters.

Tonight was the SHIZNITE. Even though I missed my history class, I can just watch it (it’s a distance learning class) and take the test in the library tomorrow. But yeah, at six me and Tawna went down to this house that was going to have a controlled burn (I heard about it at work) and we were all “I hope Joe gets here in time” (Joe’s class got out at 6:30) and like it eventually caught on fire enough that we saw Joe (he was in a different spot) and like, we totally saw the house burn down and it was so pretty and cool.

After that we went back to the college. I was supposed to take my test, but he was lecturing before the test (I hate when he does that) so we went in the Drift office and Tawna attempted to call Samantha, but it didn’t work. She was supposed to meet Sammie at the gym at 8:00. It was like 7:45, so we just drove over. Sammie was there, and I guess Tawna told her that she wouldn’t be able to work out with her today. While me and Joe waited in the car, I made fun of the (gay) guys weighing themselves. After that was over with, we drove out to my house. After a little random watching of my video diary (the part with Peng checking himself out) and playing around with my video card (I got Diablo II to work in 3D mode for some reason), playing Glenn Miller records to the Matrix (incredibly funny for some reason), we went into the kitchen and started on the pecan tart. OMG it was SO hard to make but after a few hours we FINALLY got to the part where you cook it. For some reason I felt like making a fire in the fireplace, so me and Tawna went out and got wood and we got those stupid Quarterly Beacon things I swiped ages ago and me and Joe just went to town with some strike anywhere matches, producing this:

It was a sweet fire, and it was really pretty. We fed it as we made the tart. Here’s Joe stirring the filling (which came out excellent):

After that was done, we put the filling in the pan and baked it while we hung out in front of the fire.

It was done and like we tasted it and it was ORGASMIC…so tart, and sweet..and omg it makes me happy just thinking about it. It was such a hard recipe too, LOL we kept imagining ways that Sue would screw it up, like trying to carmelize Splenda instead of real sugar. Eww! Joe commented that it would break down into chlorine (totally true), which was disturbing. Oh it was the most yummiest pecan tart ever!

But yeah, we went outside for a bit for Joe to have a cigarette and then we went inside and started watching Y tu mamá también, the best movie ever! Joe totally digged it. I love that movie! I’m going to start calling him Tenoch just for the fun of it. But yeah, it’s a road trip movie and it’s so cool and we loved it and wanted to go on a road trip so bad! It was around three, so we all piled into the car and drove back into town. I took the highway so we could pretend we were on a road trip. We dropped Tawna off at her house, then I dropped Joe off at his car. After work I’m going to drive home and he’s going to call me. We’re all going to do something tomorrow because we can sleep in. We might even have some sort of crazy pre-Thanksgiving movie marathon slumber party. That would be SO COOL. But tonight was so fun! OMG!

I probably won’t make it to my class in the morning, but we’re just working on our research papers. I can’t deal with three hours of sleep. Oh, I was supposed to hang out with Charley tonight (I was supposed to call him at 9 p.m. and I called at 11:30 and he was totally asleep! Lame!) But I was calling to cancel anyway so it didn’t matter. Omg when we had the fire going in the fireplace, one of the logs rolled out onto the hearth, and like the freaking smoke alarm went off! This was at like 12:30 a.m.! Omg, we had to open every window in the living room to try to get that damn thing to turn off. My dad is totally probably going to say something about it tomorrow, but I don’t care because I washed all my dishes from the baking extravaganza and cleaned up the kitchen. I could sacrifice virgins in the kitchen and he would be fine with it as long as I did all the dishes afterwards. But yeah, I must get to sleep because I stayed up WAY too late. Charolastras!

I got Diablo II to work, and then I moved my computer around so the tower could be close enough to hook up the video card to my TV. I need to get a long RCA cable so that I can move my tower and TV back to their original spots, but like…I fooled around with the multimonitor settings for EVER but I finally realized that I was making this dumb mistake and fixed it and now I’m totally like…watching The Matrix on my TV (from my computer)! and IMing Charley. He’s masturbating for my amusement. Yay! Uber-entertainment. I LOVE ENTERTAINMENT!! And OMG my surround sound system will arrive December 1! I’m so happy, I love my birthday. I love technology. Yay.
