Wow. That's incredible. First, I was talking to one person, who was explaining to me that I was too nice, but then they left. So then, I singled out somebody else, and pissed them off a lot. It was good though. I've never been one for randomly complaining/criticizing/etc. with an intent to anger... but it was strangely entertaining. Nah. I don't like the idea that I may have jeopardized a potentially benign and relatively good relationship with somebody, instead turning it into a potentially long standing grudge. I don't think it actually happened. But it could have. Anyway, I need some sleep, so I'm off.
Hosts situation solved, for now, I think.
I have no idea what's actually going on. I don't know when he's going to change hosts, but this site, and rlstadler4sprofile.com will be going down for a couple of days sometime in the near future.

In other news, I sliced open my thumb today when tearing apart an aluminum can. The moral of this story is don't do that.

I had no school today. Apparently something broke and water is spilling everywhere. I wonder if I will have school tomorrow. I hope I don't. I mean, actually, I don't really care. But, I didn't get anything done today. Nothing out of the ordinary that is. I was terribly bored all day. I cleaned my room for fear of grounding. I saw a doctor, who told me what I already knew, although I suppose, now that he's said it, I am no longer obligated to use as many of the painful eye drops as I had to before...

Anyhow. My life isn't too interesting as of late. I'm feeling really tired now. When I woke up this morning, at 6:00 AM, I thought I had school. I took a shower, and afterwards, found out I had no school. I was feeling pretty awake at the time, so I went and checked my email. Having done that, I decided to play a round of Unreal Tournament, Fatboy, Shock Arena, all Relics, Volatile Ammo, Volatile Weapon, No Powerups, No Redeemer, Team Deathmatch. It's great! After a couple rounds of this, now approaching 7:00 AM, I decided to go back to sleep, and before 7:00 AM, I was asleep. I slept until 11:00 AM. I get the impression that I'm lacking in sleep, seeing as I slept an extra 4 hours, given the opportunity. So, now this begs the question, why am I awake now? Because I am a fool. I am tempting fate. By not getting enough sleep now, I tempt fate to provide me with school tomorrow. But if I am intentionally tempting fate, does fate act to thwart my plans, regardless, or merely to make my life miserable?

But wait, is fate really there? NO! So what the fuck is all this crap I keep on hearing every time there is the possiblity of a snow day about not "jinxing it" by doing something. It's superstition. It's an excuse, that people like to hide behind, and it disgusts me. Even considering that I myself uphold some of these foolish traditions/superstitions. It's pitiful.

I don't know. I just got wait listed from LPC (the camp I went to two out of the last three summers of mine.) I wanted to go, but I also wanted to do other things. I guess... I'm not as dissappointed as I feel liberated.
"One trembles at the image of a world plagued by constipated mechanical berserkers." You tell me. I think this looks really cool, but at the same time, I am afeared.

My "geek quotient" is 103.5 (this puts me in the 83.13 percentile.) Apparently, according to them, "[My] GQ is about average - [my] coolness offsets [my] geekiness."

I can't believe I even did the survey. Eh, whatever.

Excuse me, but, what the hell is this? I mean, how do they even work?

Oni is such a good game. I've played through the demo soo many times... I can beat it entirely without taking a single hit now. That's scary. I think I'm going to go pre-order the game now. It's really that good.
Yay. Blogger is working again. You see, a while ago, they had met the capacity of their existing servers, and due to the fact that many .com's are down the tubes, investors stopped giving them money. At the moment, Blogger is a totally free service, and until they launch Blogger Pro, they have no revenue generation, however, their service, as demoed in so very many sites including mine, is wonderful. Anyhow, their Server Fund (to which I donated as well...) met overwhelming success, and they bought a new server, and hopefully, as time goes on, they'll buy more. Once again, Blogger is fast, and functional, and I can blog without a care.
Why do I do this. Why do I stay up so late on a Saturday night, such that when I wake up on Sunday, I've got less than 12 hours to do a hell of a lot of work. I wish I had been smarter about this. I have so much work to do.
