  • Lonely & Sad

    It is not very often when I become emotional. Sure, I'm usually happy and content, but never in a deeply emotional way.
    I'm not romantic. I think about things too much. I edit things in my head.
    I'm not going to do it for this post. I am going to write and I am going to keep the words as they come out.

    I talked to Rheanna today on Facebook. I was hoping I'd get to give her a video call on Skype, but she was at a friend's house all day to escape the estate sale at her house.
    I hate missing birthdays. Rheanna's was a few days ago and I would do anything if I could go to it.
    I miss Rheanna so much right now. She's the only person I can really confide in. I kind of haven't been looking for friends because I know that I'll never be able to find someone like her. It depresses me when I think about it. I'm crying right now because I've been thinking about it for a while now.
    I love Rheanna. I love her. When I really think about it, I feel like I need her in order to be myself. I know it's wrong, because I'm supposed to need God the most, but as I am not normally an emotional person, I do not have an emotional relationship with Him. Rheanna brings out all my emotions. I can come out of my horrible shell and be myself for once. I can be myself with God, too, but...
    This is impossible to explain. I don't even know who I am. I don't really know when I'm being myself because I act like so many different people.
    I told a lie. I cannot be myself in front of Rheanna because I cannot cry in front of her. I have cried in front of her before, but the last time I did, they were tears of joy at being able to see her again.
    I feel like she has enough problems, and that I shouldn't bother her with my own. I just want people to be happy...

    I can't even explain my feelings properly. I don't understand them properly. Maybe I do understand them. I don't even know that.

    All I know is that I need Rheanna. I need her in a way that she cannot be right now. I need to be with her. It's been over a year since I last saw her. I think it's been over a year since I last got together with one of my high school "friends".

    I can usually get by well enough with internet friends and my family, but sometimes things end up like tonight and I just crack.

    I wish I had a door. My parents are the only ones in the entire family who have some privacy. I need a locking door tonight, but I don't have one. My parents aren't even asleep yet, which is weird because it's 11 and they usually go to bed about now.

    ...I should wrap this up right now. I'm not feeling as emotional and I'm pretty sure Rheanna went to bed. I really want her to read this but I can't bring myself to tell her.

    I think I'm going to publish this. I've got to force myself to. I don't really want my brother to read this, but it's the truth, so I suppose it should be known.

    I haven't said it all, but I'm afraid that my mom will catch me crying, which will make me cry more. I won't be able to explain any of this to her because as soon as I start crying, all coherence goes straight out the window.

    Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously

    I am not Dead

    I've just been too busy to blog!

    Anyway, to recap...

    Dave came over from St. Louis. We ate pizza and had a good time for a week before he went back home.

    My wisdom teeth are not bothering me right now, but they have not been removed yet and I'm still kind of scared.

    I'm sick again, and I have been all week. It was a cold for a few days, but I'm over that. ...Now my calf hurts like it has a huge bruise and I have to limp everywhere.

    My parents got their bathroom completely redone. It has a jacuzzi, and I have taken like 4 baths so far this week...but I haven't washed my hair because the power went out last night while I was still in the bath stage.

    CJ is over here. He's been here for about a week, and he's staying for a week more.

    The Wii has stopped reading disks, but now it has been softmodded, so that isn't as much of a problem.

    Earthbound may never be released again because Nintendo fears being sued by the Beatles because the game makes one very small reference to one of their songs.

    Speaking of songs, Michael Jackson wrote the music for Sonic 3. It has been proved now.

    Leanne is ordering fancy cheese from France that she got on sale online. She is quite excited, and I must admit, it sounds delicious.

    I read that "Julie & Julia", and I highly recommend it to any serious foodies, though it does have some language in it.

    I am almost out of Christmas Candy.

    I have heard the Very Melon song, in all of its weird Japanese anime-ness.

    I've had a couple uneventful days off of school.

    I've started playing Spyro the dragon again, but only the good games made by Insomniac.

    ...And that's about it. This is the uber-condensed version of what I have been doing.
  • Pretend it is 2060 (fifty years in the future). Describe a typical day in a typical community.

    There are not any flying cars yet, but there are a few settlements in small cities floating on top of the water. The videogame industry makes more money than any film, but also costs more than the triangular tapes that people now use. Videogames are so complex that a single game can cost more than $200, but is guaranteed to be worth the money.

    My brother Andy wants to play Pokemon Heart Gold with all the young wipper-snappers, but they're into virtual reality Pokemon games for the hip new console, Nintendo's Wii^3. The console is a hip little white and purple box that is capable of motion controls and astounding graphics AT THE SAME TIME. Oh, and it also makes really good green tea.
    I live with him because we're both retired and I never married.

    Life is pretty much the same, but with more people, a cleaner China (and US,) and NASA finally deciding to send some guys up into space again.

    Oh yes, and there are gangs who fight over illegal Cheez Whiz because it contains artificial ingredients which have been found to make you stupid and mess with your hormones.

  • I can't sleep

    Ugh... My wisdom tooth is really drilling into my jaw. It hurts...and painkillers don't work. It's only been hurting like this for a few days, but...

    It's like Chinese water torture- The pain isn't unbearable all by itself, but it NEVER STOPS. The only change is when it sometimes becomes more painful.
    The cheek muscles right next to my tooth are sore too. I can't smile or laugh or even brush my teeth without making the muscle sore.

    In the day, it's not so bad because there are so many things to distract me.
    But at night...it's a whole 'nother story.
    I am incredibly stressed whenever I try to go to sleep.
    I've tried everything I can think of.
    Painkillers don't work, as I've said before.
    Reading helps temporarily until I get settled down and actually realize that I still can't get to sleep...which actually infuriates me.
    Music worked at first, but after a while, even gentle Irish folk music somehow made me stressed.
    And when I say stressed, I mean stressed.
    I burst into tears twice, and whenever I get up from trying to go to sleep my fists are clenched and I want to break something.
    My mom heard me walking around earlier, and I barely had enough time to get back under the covers before she came in and asked if I was okay.
    I told her that I was not okay, and that my wisdom tooth was keeping me from being able to sleep.

    Truth be told, I'm afraid of getting my wisdom teeth removed. I know that it's necessary in order to keep my teeth straight and everything, but even thinking about going into the dentist's office to have it done makes me feel kind of sick.
    They won't be removed for a while. I can't remember if it's even scheduled on the calendar, but if it is, it's probably not until January or February. I have a cleaning scheduled on like the first day of December, but I think that's incredibly crazy because I doubt right now if I will even be able to open my mouth enough to have the cleaning done.


    ...It's gonna be a long night...

    Whole grain bread, Chibi-Robo, and a wisdom tooth

    Whole grain bread is amazing, especially that stuff we got from that fruit stand full of New Age Retro Hippies a few days ago. It is excellent for using to ensnare various meats and consume them. Mmm.

    And in other news, Chibi-Robo is the word from the bird, even though every time I spell it I have an urge to put a "t" on the end. That game is amazing. The plot is simple enough- You're a tiny robot purchased by some crazy-weird family, and it is your purpose to make everyone in the house happy. However, Chibi-Robo does have a pretty sweet gig. I've compiled a list of all the totally amazing things he gets that probably stop an "I, Robot"-esque apocalypse from destroying the world.
    -Money. He gets to keep any money he finds, and the game is very generous in this department. I thought the Sandersons were poor, but every time I leave a room and come back, the money resets! Wow, people must have loose pockets around here...or maybe they think the floor is the best place to leave spare change. Anyway, the game centers among this and two other point systems, which I will now discuss.
    -Happy Points. Whenever Chibi-Robo makes people happy or chooses the right action/response, he is rewarded with Happy Points. And what are Happy Points? Happy Points determine how professional of a Chibi-Robo you are. The more you get, the higher your rank goes up, and the more your rank goes up, the longer your battery life becomes before you have to plug yourself into an outlet to recharge. Once you hit the Number One Spot, it is rumored that Chibi-Robo will even be updated to Super Chibi-Robo as a reward. I bet his battery life is phenomenal!
    -Scrap. Scrap is basically your reward for destroying the evil two-legged oil-leaking robots called Spyders. And how exactly do you rub them out? Why, use your Mega Buster, young metal lad! I am not making this up. When you hear the normally happy music replaced by death metal, you know that some Spyders just dropped from the ceiling and are trying to destroy your robot. Killing them is really simple, though. Just equip your Mega Buster and fire at will! ...Just make sure your battery meter isn't too low, because every shot takes away one battery point (which is a flimsy amount, as by the first time you actually need to use the gun, your full charge is around 120. And each Spyder takes one shot to kill. And they only swarm in flocks of 12 or so.) Now, what you do with Scrap I will talk about later.

    Now, onto the Gadgets part of the list...
    -The Chibi-Blaster. This is your "Mega Buster" that I was talking about earlier. You can purchase this little gun, which shoots "ultrasound waves" and makes fairy twinkling noises whenever you shoot it. You also get a charge shot, which produces a different, more manly tinkly sound. Also, you can buy a Range Chip so you can shoot things from further away. The basic, bare-bones Chibi-Blaster only costs like 1100 Moolah. By the time you need it, you should have at least twice that amount.
    -The Chibi-Copter. I wish I had one of these. From the very start of the game, you are given a "Chibi-Copter", a little propellor that you can equip that helps you to not kill yourself. This item is simply fanatical. I mean, I'd be willing to pay 2000 Moolah for this baby, but you get it at the very beginning for FREE! This is by far the most helpful gadget you will ever own. Just equip it, and your fears of falling are no longer valid! Although, do be warned, because while you're floating gently downwards, your Battery Meter does drain a little bit faster, though not really enough to kill you as long as you're not flashing red already. This gadget also lets you "glide" if you activate it before you have left the ledge you're standing on. This is fantastic. It more than makes up for the fact that Chibi-Robo cannot jump, but can only jump onto things above him. The copter is a must-have-equipped for walking on handrails and other narrow ledges up high.
    -The Chibi-Hot Rod. Although I have not purchased this yet, I look forward to being able to zoom around in a little sports car. And also, you can buy your own mini spaceship, which should be amazing and fun and amazingly fun.
    -Utilibots. Also known as "slaves", the Utilibots are made from the Scrap you recieve whenever you defeat Spyders. There are Ladder Utilibots, which help you reach high places (like the second floor bedrooms,) Warp Utilibots, which Warp you to distant locations, and Bridge Utilibots, which help you breach wide gaps. Too bad it takes a lot of juice to run them, but hey, it's worth it! They also make adorable noises when you use them.
    -Costumes. While not a Gadget per se, Costumes are your reward for doing certain things with certain characters. Oh yeah, and you also get your own poses that take up a lot of energy but also look amazing.

    And that is why Chibi-Robo is an amazing game. I wish I was playing it right now, but my oldest brother is asleep downstairs and I'm not allowed to go downstairs until he wakes, which should be in an hour or two.

    Now, onto my wisdom tooth.
    It hurts. It will have to come out. However, as far as I can tell I only have one, and once I get it out it means soups, applesauce, and ice cream, not to mention having the Wii toted upstairs so I can play Chibi-Robo ALL THE TIME NYEH-HEH-HEH. ...Yeah. Kind of looking forward to it, but kind of not. I am a big wuss when it comes to pain, and I remember when my brother had his wisdom teeth out... ...I don't think I'll ever forget that...
