Nice pic!
My internet is working okay again. I guess the moment of truth will come at 1:30-5AM
My daughter and her friend missed school today. I got a $50. advance and planned on taking daughter to the Dr. (she complained that one of her incision areas felt like it was opening), but I slept all day instead. Hubby's going to be grumbly about that. But now I have money for food and smokes. :D
My daughter's been laying down all day and claims her stomach feels better- though she came into my room at some point, woke me and asked me to drive her somewhere so she could visit with a friend. I told her no, that she's sick and missed school and on house arrest for failing her piss test. She said she hated me, I said "I love you anyhow" :lol: then I went right back to sleep. That's always been my response to her when she claims how much she doesn't like me. It drives her crazy :evil:
I just got off the phone with my oldest daughter and when I updated her about her sister, she was highly annoyed and said the courts will probably want to send her to rehab. Then she told me the closest place is in Pittsburg. Grrrr.
My daughter and her friend were visiting another friend at the trailer park over the weekend and they both came home with professional tattoos. One of their friends fathers worked at a tat place and has all his equipment. I always told her if she found someone who would give her one for free, she could. I never thought she would actually find such a person :roll: I have no idea what Zee's friends father is going to say however.
Other than all of that, it's been a very quiet, lazy day.

So, yep. Lonely, listening to sad music. Doing that depressive thing and feeling bad.
I'll be fine later.
Why are you not doing a Halloween thing? D:
21 years old in a backwoods house with no nearby neighbours in a city of people who are either too young or too old. There is no nightlife here, so there are no Halloween parties for me to hit or anything similar.
I should probably work on not being like this for when aforementioned ladyfriend comes back. Don't want to have to bring down her night with mine. :P
Halloween was created because it is said that the dead are on the closest layer of living (however you phrase that) this time of year so we have to dress up to "blend in" with them, along with other rhymes and reasons..Quote:

Nice try ;)
Other rhymes and reasons:
Fall Equinox
Harvest Festival
Zactly...some other thing is a guy was hallucinating that he was seeing ghosts? something like that. I guess the exact origin is not completely knownQuote:

And when that happens, you call it Halloween.
Or St. Patrick's Day.
People are not bored enough for this goofing is too lame and random.
Well, some people are bad at having fun.
But then there's people like me. ;)
EDIT: I'm doing nothing for Halloween. I never do, but I hardly care. I live in a city where parties are common, but I haven't had a real-life-friend in almost 10 years and can't say I've ever been to a 'party'. I mean those teenage or young-adult house parties. (Of course I've been to family celebrations and birthday parties when I was younger). I may drink (again) tonight and play some Minecraft with my boyfriend. We've been going through a fun Minecraft puzzle game called "It's Better Together," the first pre-made game either of us have played. I get uncomfortable around kids, so I refuse to even answer the door, leaving it to my parents. But they bought like 5 boxes of candy and somehow a huge pile of wrappers has formed itself on my desk.
I was rushing to get my essay in for a CS class last night. I realized just as I was submitting it that I had forgotten to include a subject in the email. We're supposed to put our student number as the subject. The instructor is pretty strict about doing everything. I've heard others in the class say they got 0/100 on assignments for making minor errors, like putting their files directly into a .7z file instead of inside a folder which is inside a .7z file. So I resent the email a few minutes later with the topic. Anyway, I nearly had a heart attack when I opened my email this morning and got this:
(I'm being paranoid as hell, but I've heard this instructor say he uses advanced software for finding out of students have plagiarized from anywhere on the internet, and I'm thinking it's possible he does something similar to his emails, to see if they've been copied and pasted anywhere. So I'm going to add some dashes and extra spaces).
Luckily, there was another email, which said this:Quote:
Rejected - bad email topic.
-Follow the check-list next time.
0/100
That was terrifying. If I got a 0 on that, I might as well not have spent all weekend writing it.Quote:
Ah, this one has a subject.
No, that's fine. I will m-ark this one -normally. No worries.
I'm not doing anything for Halloween either. There's a big block party just up the street with a roaring bonfire, and it's always the talk of the whole neighborhood, but I hardly know any of my neighbors and I'd feel really weird standing around drinking beer with them out in the cold. Heh, I'd actually MUCH rather sit here and write up the next section of my story, which is very Halloweeny actually.
I did go all around the neighborhood today and take pics of the amazing fall foliage, and also bought a pecan pie and bag of Snickers bars. Not to hand out - it's all for moi!!! :mwahaha:
Celebrations suck unless it's with a small group of people you know and really like.
Yeah, you can't go to celebration of any kind without knowing at least one or two other people there. Good on you for the Snickers!
I do know a few of them, but very casually - you know, just like saying hey when I walk past their house and they're outside. The only ones I know better than that are my immediate neighbors on both sides of me. Heh, I did meet one neighbor today - because the other night when I was walking my dog past his house he came out apparently thinking I was a creepy prowler. When he saw I was walking a dog I said "I think my dog is looking for your dog" (they usually sniff noses or bark at each other).
So today I was out with Pepper again and a camera, taking pics, and he was out too with his dog Baily and I don't think he recognized me from the other night, so I said "Hi - it's good to finally see you in the daytime!"
Then we started talking and we let our dogs sniff each other. Now I know another neighbor. Funny - his name is Lars and the guy who lives across the street from him is named Mars.
** edit **
Lol what's really weird - I now live in what used to be my sister's house - AND I have her dog (she moved into an apt that doesn't allow large pets, only her cats went). And my sister is really gregarious and friendly - everybody on the street knew her. Now when I walk Pepper up the street everybody knows my dog but doesn't know me!
But it is a great way to meet people.
Oh wow, that's just ridiculous. Seriously was going to fail you for that. I spose it helps build diligence and accuracy in a way. Maybe. But still.Quote:
