D: A little bird hit our window and bounced onto the deck all stunned-like. I got to pick it up and pet it while it recovered on our railing. It's all right. But I got some exclusive close-up shots while it was posing, so hopefully some of those turned out.

Speaking of shots, I've been trigger-happy with my zoom lens. Either I'm going to have a lot of sweet shots, or shit shots, knowing how easy it is to blur with the damn thing.

Gahh, our whole TV channel (yes, we only get one out here) is down because of the construction they were doing in the back, so I can't even watch Big Brother or the News or anything. ><

I've probably gone over our 25 free hour/month roaming limit. Dayy-um.

I should be writing, but I have zero motivation whatsoever. It makes me sad. Plus I want to finish my GIMP thing first, but, yeah. Sigh. I miss writing.

Homannnn, I'm having one of my ADD attacks right now. I can hardly type my leg is twitching so hard. This is either result of my going stir crazy from boredom or my new medication (which so far has only made me drowsy, so it doesn't make sense that it would also make me hyper). Geh. -twitches and hyperventilates- Maybe I shouldn't drink any more Coke.

Anywhoooo, as I said, bored as hell out here. I've basically just been tanning and playing with the dogs and doing Sudoku puzzles. I cut my dog's hair yesterday too because he was getting bushy. Surprised myself. I make a decent barber, for dogs at least.

GIMP's coming along fine, but I still don't know what to do with the walls. Mirrors will be just too complicated. >< So I'm stuck there. Shoes are also really annoying.

My parents are threatening to put in a National Geographic video. D: Zomg. -twitch-

I just hit 36k pageviews. I give you all a collective glomp. I'll do something special for 40k.

Four days in... and I'm already fresh outta reading material. Damn. Anyway, I just had to tell you guys, King fan or not, YOU HAVE TO READ APT PUPIL. Like zomg. ZOMG. Best thing I've read in. A. Long. Time. I musta stared at that thing for six hours straight. I usually hate anything war-related, too, hey, but, that story's the perfect mix of... everything. And the ending.

--
I forgot was dial-up felt like. You know, like death. And I have limited hours before they start charging us (I forget what our plan covers for roaming, but it isn't that much... :/ )
Anyway, deviations take wayyyyy too long to load. I was going through a few, but I think I'm gonna have to save all that for when I get back. I can reply comments still though. It doesn't take that long to refresh from the MC.
I'm gonna wait to do my Activity message thankings til home too, because A) I want to see how much attention the page gets without my doing anything, B) It takes to damn long to load anyone's homepage.

So lyke, our neighbours at the cabin have these two baby Pomeranians and they are THE CUTEST THINGS EVER. Me and the rat chased them around for a bit and then my dad and I went over to chat with the neighbours and they decided I looked like I needed some beer, so I'm slightly buzzed now. I love our neighbours out here, all of em. So liberal about their alcohol. My mother would shoot me for accepting anything. xD

Mosquitoes here are fecking lame. D: Much like at home. And of course, we left home to get away from all the construction, only to go to the middle of nowhere and find... more construction. 0o

Anyway, that's all. I haven't worked more on my GIMP yet, but I imagine it'll be a pain, seeing as my current mousepad is a paperback novel. xD;; The wood of the desk is too rough to use.

Cheers.

And my mother is pushing to wait until we get back from holidays to get the meds. I knew I shouldn't have given her the sheet to hold while I was driving, because I haven't seen it since. No such thing as control in my life, I swear. I feel like a six-year-old.

So I'm a bit aggravated at the moment, because I seem to be losing the war against my eyebrow barbell, following my having snagged it during a violent sneeze a few days ago (I know, skillz right?). I've been experimenting with new cleaning forms for it, because Polysporin doesn't seem to do the trick anymore. Salt water just seems to make it worse. Personally I'd love to just take it out and get it redone so it's pretty for grad shots, but the mere thought just makes me cringe. D: It'd be like losing a part of myself waiting for it to heal up. (FYI, I've had this thing for like two years.) Sigh.

Signing out,
Teh Snappy One
