You know what’s really aggravating? My Mom got the latest Sims expansion pack for my brother and I as a get well present, but it won’t install on my laptop! It works just fine on my regular PC in the basement, but it won’t accept CD number two for the last little fiddly bit of the installation. I’ve tried it a dozen times, I even went so far as to uninstall the program, reinstall the base and all of its expansion packs, and then trying the lastest expansion pack installation again. Still won’t work. And I’m mad at it. Stupid laptop. I loathe it. It’s quickly turning into a really expensive paper-weight.


I didn’t get any farther on any of my projects today, I felt too sick. I laid around, watched another Japanese cartoon with Steven, played the Sims (on my big computer in the basement… rassafrassin’ laptop!), had to go out to that youth group thingie at 7:30, and then came back home. Crashed on the couch. Watched more TV. Tried not to do something icky. And now I’m here, about to fall asleep, but I feel bad that I haven’t blogged much lately. Or at least it feels like I haven’t blogged much lately. Or maybe it’s because I just haven’t felt blog-inspired, so I seem to lack a certain luster whilst blogging. I think it’s cause I don’t feel good and at this point all I can think about is “SLEEP!” rather than “WRITE!” (And, of course, I always think in rude capital letters and in short, one-word sentences. “THINK!”) 🙂


At least I found nice, wintery pajamas. I don’t know what that has to do with anything I’ve just mentioned, but at least that’s something. So there.


I’m really jealous. My friend Robert just got back from a hiking trip in the west of Scotland, and I bet he’s seen all sorts of beautiful, amazing nature. I’m glad he got to go, I just wish I could have gone. I’m actually kind of itching for a trip like that. I haven’t been camping in *ages*. Years, in fact. It’s rather sad, really. I want trees, wide expanses of open land, pretty sloping hills, and a camping trip just wouldn’t be proper without a few little furry woodland creatures. Gotta love them, those furry woodland creatures.


Okay, I think I’d better get some sleep now and put off this guilt until I can do something about it when I’m more awake. SLEEP!
