Bad news:

For my birthday, Peter got my computer. WTF? I hardly ever get to use the damn thing anymore! And when I'm not using it, he's actively encouraging non-me people to use it!

I am still unemployed.

I don't remember to blog every day.

My diet now consists of rice and salt exclusively (I hate being poor).

Good news:

It is my birthday! I got a shiny new laptop to use! (Peter's justification for not needing to let me use my own machine, to be sure, but he gets a 'screw you' if he thinks he can use my new laptop!) I named it MobileOhki-Neo, or Mon, for short. "Ey, Mon, tings be all irey nah!"

I got a job offer! I couldn't make the commute to Fremont, and it paid well. But I know for a fact I got da Mad Leet Interviewing Skillz!

I have a nice fat tax return coming to me. :3

Things could always be worse! Positive thinking for a new year of life!

Missed some days....

Another painful night trying to sleep on the tiny couch of discomfort so that Peter can stay up until everyone else is awake and watch Naruto. I'll be really happy the day his sleep schedule happens to coincide with mine, and I can actually get some sleep. I think it's been almost a week since I had a full night of genuine rest.

As soon as I have the money, I'd leap at a chance to live anywhere else with enough privacy to sleep when I want to.

I hate feeling like crap all the time because I'm tired.

But Peter absolutely has to watch all 180 episodes of Naruto for a fifth time to show its holy canon to others.

(It's starting to make me dislike Naruto.)

I live! I get job offers!

I post-ban an immature self-centered young man who thinks he knows it ... all. He doesn't.

All things told ... so far today, life is good.

I have egg-salad sammich. :3

Right. So as of today I'm going to try to make a point of updating every day. Also, I really need to put more work into the site Drac gave me ... a redesign may be in order. I don't like the layout I originally went with....

Anyway. I'm really tired of the sleeping situation around here, but there's not much I can do. Except drop out of school and go to work full-time, which is what I will actually end up doing. If I can't sleep here, then I need enough money to get my own place; it's just not feasible to go on like this.

Bleah!

More cheerful thoughts: I should be able to get credit for the Unix class. I'm really only dropping one, and that's keyboarding (I can live without it). My Comm class is at night, and it's one night a week, so I should be able to keep that. And I already finished my HTML/XTML class (with an A!), so that's good.

But damn. I miss sleeping regularly. It takes an insomniac to really value sleep, but I've gone a step further, thanks to the miracle of sleep- deprivation. Positive thinking, right?

The world's what you make of it, they say.....

It's six AM. I'm still awake.

Life has discovered a new low: Not being able to sleep because the people who run the place you're staying would rather play softcore porn.

I hate my life. I want to go home!
