@Kari: That paid that much? .___.;

So, I actually woke up on time; so I actually have enough time to wake up -w-
Although my stomach is a bit messed up...but it's been that way since yesterday, so nothing new as far as that :\

I went through a lot of shit in my early teenage years. Granted, I've been on OSC throughout that time, but you know those hiatus' I kept taking? Spiraling drug addiction, hilariously violent relationships (think repressed blood fetish) and generally being a bad kid that looks like a goodie two shoes.

I don't remember why I left.

Maybe it was work.

Maybe it was the girl.

Something took me away from this place. I just happened to find a bookmark of it again and remembered what my login was.

[Cockleshell]

I kept coming back because I have associated the action of obtaining a new computer or restoring a backup to operating systems, to OS-tans, to here. I don't think I'll ever leave. I may disappear sometimes, years maybe, and maybe it will die. But I will always cherish the years I've spent here. It's a truly unique community that I wouldn't give up my integration for anything.

In my case, it was my godawful internet connection back then (Which was worse than what I have right now; which is still shit-tier. Let that sink in) becoming so unstable that I couldn't come here anymore. I eventually found my way back here in early 2011, during a very rough point in my life, and have been here since.

So, here's a rundown of my day, for the curious.

Work actually went decently today; had a cart full of new StraightTalk phones for me to restock the cabinet with when I got there, which I put away, then went about my usual morning shift stuff...which I ran into my former boss from Gamestop; whom informs me that he has a box of Sega Genesis games he wants to give me (Most I already own, such as the Sonic trilogy, but I figured I could hang onto them and pass them onto my bro-in-law once I get him a system), which he said to let him know before I leave work so he could get it out of his car. Thus, I made a mental note to do that, along with get minutes for my phone and pick up some Pepto Bismol (As my stomach has been messed up since yesterday). It was a pretty slow day, so I spent most of the day visiting with a coworker I like (A really cool older guy), while just waiting for stuff to do....and spotting some tanktops I wouldn't mind (Which I need to get a pic of to have Kari and/or Bella locate and purchase for me). All in all, a nice day.

I got off work at 3PM, as scheduled, only to find my phone's battery was completely dead (Thanks, Twitter app). Thus, I picked up the few things I needed to buy, and then went to try and find my former boss so he could give those games to me. Sadly, he was tied up with the freezers giving out, and I needed to get home ASAP, so I wasn't able to obtain them (Hope I can find him tomorrow, if he's working). I waited until about 3:30 when I decided I really needed to go since mom would be home soon; we'd need to rush to Tyler to meet up with her family.

I get home, and had enough time to jump in the shower and then check a few things online while waiting for my phone to charge. Mom was apparently running late, as my sister and I really began to wonder when she was going to show up...when she came in the door, pissed off at seemingly everything. She yells at me about "taking too long" to get ready when I'm putting my shoes on, she yells at me for charging my phone in the car, yells at me when I try to offer any advice, and was driving like a shithead (Nearly got into a wreck with a semi-truck because she was driving in their blind spot as they were trying to merge). Also, I had a headache brought on by her and the fact her car is uncomfortable in the back seat, on top of her bickering.

We got to Olive Garden, and the food was pretty good (I had cheese ravioli, as suggested by Kari)...but not really worth the trouble I went through to get to it. Also, it was uncomfortable; the awkward silence filled the air as nobody was talking to each other until just as we were going to leave. To get a brief moment away from mom and her family, after I ate, I walked down to Best Buy to see if they had any cool accessories for my phone...and everything they had was for an S4 and newer, barring a couple of OtterBoxes. Also, they didn't have the Stick of Truth; which I want my own copy now.

Once finished, we left to drop off leftovers to mom. Cue her complaining the whole way there about how this is stupid and why couldn't her family have gone to eat back home and why did dad insist we bring food to him blah blah blah...the entire time I was just trying to stay respectful when really I just wanted to go home. Which, mom killed my plans for Saturday...but to be honest, I don't care; said plans would involve having to ride up to Tyler in that uncomfortable thing she's so obsessed over before I could actually do anything fun, that my sister and I agreed to just put money together and take our own trip to Tyler without mom sometime.

After what felt like an eternity, I was back home, as I hastily grabbed my laptop and phone chargers, my Walmart schedule, and drove over to grandma's office; picking up orange juice on the way since I wanted something to drink that wasn't water. By way of van therapy, my headache went away (My god, those seats are outrageously comfortable), as I now sit here at grandma's office, lurking the nets...and wondering why seemingly everyone disappeared on me mid-conversation >_>;;

[Chocofreak13]

we all know why i vanished for that month back in 2012. but i love you guys. this is home to me.

@pent: glad things worked out in the end, and i wouldn't expect the ravioli to make up for that shitstorm even if it was adorned with goldleaf. sorry it sucked bro. you and your sister are wiser for deciding to go to Tyler on your own.

last night's rez was actually pretty nice! i miscalculated and didn't have enough caffiene, so i was exahusted by the end, but otherwise it was very fun. jack pussed out and didn't go, and colleen is still down in maryland, but everyone else was there (except for John, which i'ma have to hound his ass about it next time i see him), plus there were a TON of new faces. i didn't talk to many new people but still had an excellent time, did some dancing, and showed up in the middle of Ben's set (Ben paid for us to get in, sooo....). sadly, i missed the last song of the night by like, 2 minutes (Ben requested last song of the night, which he got, and played "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi......in a goth club). ><
still, there's always next time.

also, earlier in the day we decided randomly to go to the Salvation Army to look for towels for ben, which we found......along with 3 pairs of shoes for me and a record for Alex. i bought The Irish Rovers' Unicorn for 75 cents and got black slightly platform mary janes (Mudd, paid for myself), a pair of old-school plum purple knee-high platform goth boots (think these, but solid plum pleather, no lacing, and they slim the ankle A LOT more, don't know the brand, paid for by me), and a pair of cherry-red vinyl platform geta sandals (these, but in red and black, Twentysixred Sugar, paid for by mum). i brought the mary janes with me last night in an effort to bring "comfy shoes" to offset my boots, but weirdly enough the boots were comfier. perhaps it was because i was already getting blisters from being on my feet in them for so long, or maybe they just need to be broken in more. i'll get pics of the boots later.

making the geta my new regular sandals, too. bonus points since the sole is super-cushy. ^^

[Cockleshell]

so, my moveout date is approaching like a train... holy fuck

[Nichi]

@Cockle: Good luck

@Kari: I'm now reminded of hearing the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil when at church one night xD

On lunch break now. So far, so good; might come back up here late tonight to pick up some clothes I want >w>;

[Odin Yggdrasil]

Woah! Another Irish Rovers fan!

In fact my mining ships on EVE Online were inspired by them. Evermore is my first one, which stays in relatively safe mining areas, and The Irish Rover, which goes into more risky waters.

The ship struck a rock.
Good lord what a shock.

We nearly tumbled over.

Now that I think about it, Unicorn is actually missing from my collection. I will fix this right away.

[Chocofreak13]

do eet. also, i am a mild Rovers fan, my brother in law is moreso (but then, he's Irish and really into the music).

speaking of music,

[stewartsage]

Wow, uh, everyone sure is writing really long in depth summaries of their lives.....

My brother and dad are watching Voyager.

[Bella]

I've been watching TNG recently. :>

[Nichi]

I tried to download the entirety of DS9, but the torrent was dead :[

[Krizonar]

I have Voyager, Enterprise and DS9 on those round rainbow thingies.

So my girlfriend and I aren't talking until Wednesday morning, and I feel like I'm dying inside.
