Rob is visiting his family this week and they’re really into cool gadgets, especially security type gadgets. At his parent’s mechanic shop they have security cameras that are connected to an internet server and they can be watched from any computer. So, one time when I was visiting they had the computer set up at home and we saw something really funny. A tow truck was dropping off a truck at another mechanic shop and really dropped it! The guy had unhooked the car and it slid down the ramp of the tow truck and right into one of the cars at Rob’s dad’s shop! Since they had the camera, they had proof of it happening. It wasn’t a hidden camera, but it did its job perfectly. However there are some pretty ingenious Hidden Cameras out there - like hats, plants, a fire alarm, and even a camera hidden in ear buds.
So, today started off a little rocky. Rob got home around 7am, and I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I got up. Then Rob decided he couldn’t get back to sleep, so he got up too. I then played FFXII for about an hour until he fell asleep on the couch. I spent the next few hours farting around on the internet in my room because I didn’t want to disturb his sleep.
When he woke up he asked if I still wanted to go to the club. I said probably not, since Sasha isn’t going and I wouldn’t really know what to do. I don’t dance or listen to current popular music. It’s also a “regular” club, and whatever I wear wouldn’t be trendy or cute enough, since I don’t have that sort of wardrobe. If I were to go to a goth or alternative club I could wear whatever I wanted, as long as it wasn’t jeans, and I’d be fine. Then I started to feel bad because that’s the second time this week I’ve let Rob down. I started to cry and he tried to help me feel better. He says he just wants to get out of the house and do things with me. He also wants me to get some physical activity to get rid of my frustration and anger. I also think that the house starts to drive him crazy. I’ve always been a loner and a homebody, so only after being in the house for an extended period of time will make me crazy. Really, large groups of people make me more crazy than anything else. So, after a bit of crying and feeling pathetic we came up with a compromise. We decided to go to a local game place this afternoon with one of our roommates.
It was kinda nice because girls play free there from Mon-Thurs. So, I got to try out some different games than what I usually play at home. I got to play Cooking Mama on the Wii and Portal on a computer. Cooking Mama was really easy and cute too! Portal crashed in the middle of my game, so I kinda gave up. There is also a sort of laser tag there. They describe it as an inside infrared combat sport. Rob played it and was the first to die. He says it was because he was on a newbie team and there was friendly fire on. If I was going to play the laser tag, I’d want to play with a group of our friends, so that everyone is on an even level.
Well, I fixed my grandpa’s computer yesterday. I’m not sure what exactly was wrong with it, but reinstalling a program fixed it. The cooling fan on my computer is starting to make weird noises. I recently re-arranged my desk and I don’t think the ventilation is as good as it used to be. Also, my electric toothbrush was acting broken until today when Rob whacked it against the sink and it started to work again. Going home tomorrow. Hopefully things will be ok there. It’s usually stressful when I go home…
So, Rob started his new job last night! He works from essentially 6PM to 6AM. He got home early, at 5AM, last night. I really hope he enjoys, or rather, doesn’t hate this job. He’s a night person, so I really hope this works out. On the other hand, I’m still looking for a job. I’ve started to apply to a multitude of places online to see if anything comes up. Another big hope that I can get a job soon.
But since I don’t currently have a job, I’ve been making a lot of things for MetroCon. I plan to make at least one thing per day that I don’t have a job. That way, in the next few months I will have made quite a lot of stuff. I plan to take pictures of the beaded crowns tomorrow if the light is good.
Oh, and I bought something on Amazon but the seller is a asshat. I ordered it on the 14 of Jan, it was supposed to ship out the 22nd, but last night I received an email saying it wouldn’t ship for another 10 to 15 business days. Over a month to receive an item. If they didn’t have the damn thing in stock, they shouldn’t have listed it! So I told them to cancel and refund it. Now I have to buy it on eBay or someplace and hope it gets here in time. 
This is kinda random, since I’d like to be sleeping right now but can’t. My mind is too busy. And I’ve run out of reading materials. I’m left reading Erich’s Time magazines and those are mostly filled with election crap.
Oh, and the previous post was protected so that my sister’s boyfriend, should he find this site, would not see the dress. I think she wants it to be a surprise for him.
