Hey guys, how's it goin'?
Well, you know how they say fortune is fickle? Let me tell ya, this past week, fortune waved her rosy red ass in my face and let one rip . . . . . SO many things have happened this week that it's not even funny!
So, I'm sure you're all wondering where the crap I've been the past while, right? Well, there's this unbelievably disgusting internet worm that's eating its way through all sorts of stuff. It's caused all manner of hell with my ISP (thus making coming online pretty much impossible for the most part), allowed a virus to chew its way through my computer, being all manner of just . . . ick . . . . . and, yeah. According to the internet people this thing is screwing up lots of computers all over British Columbia! So that's why I haven't been online lately (in fact, when it DOES work internet is insanely slow and I'm not even sure if I'm going to be able to post this before it conks out on me again).
But yeah, SO many things have happened! Okay . . . . . last Wednesday I had a get-together with some old high school friends by having a small barbecue at my house. After that, I showed off some scenes from FFX-2 for them and then we proceeded to watch that Jet Li movie Hero in my basement (for the record, when that movie comes out in theaters, you all HAVE to see it!). It was around then when internet started to get weird on me.
The next day or so, my right ear started popping incessantly on me because the tube-thingy in there was all messed up and wasn't equalizing pressure very well. After the weekend, it eased down a bit, so it was probably just congestion related and not infection or anything. So yeah, that's good.
At work I got my first pay-stub, which was neat. It wasn't a whole lot, considering that it's minimum wage, it's union and it's the first time getting paid, so hopefully this month'll be nicer to me.
Meanwhile, internet's still being a bitch . . . . .
And then the most fun news of all . . . . . my mom got MRI'ed and she has some sort of "lesser" cancer in a layer of something around her brain (but not in the brain). On Thursday she's going to get scanned again to make certain what it is exactly, but on the whole people are optimistic in that it's definitely a treatable sort of cancer and can be operated on. So yeah, I get to play with that little bit of news too . . . doesn't that just suck ass? Like, a lot?
So that's what I've been up to this past week or so. I absolutely miss chatting, MSN'ing and posting with all of ya . . . I'm actually quite impressed as to how much I honestly do miss all of you. But, until all this virus/worm hell gets figured out, I'm pretty much 'ess-oh-elle'. Though I don't know when I'll be able to read your comments, I'll be lookin' forward to seein' 'em. So yes, to recap, I'm being held away by things out of my own control which SUCK, because I'm thinkin' that I could use a good chat right about now . . . . . take care, 'kay? I'll be back as soon as I can.
