Technology. How does it work?

I slept good again last night, zero dreams again. But it wasn't like I cared. The sun was shining when I woke up. That was the first thing I noticed. I have this certain affinity towards light. Whenever I enter a new room. That's all I ever notice, how well lit it is. I thought this was going to be a decent day. I really did. Last night we created our characters for my dad's campaign. I was a slightly rich and beautiful elf, my brother was a laid back warrior dude with duel swords who only fought when he saw need to. We even started the campaign with limited resources.

It was fun.

I sucked, but it was fun.

I already have an enemy. Ha. And was attacked by men of my own kind. Don't ask me why the hell they were attacking me, my dad's campaign pretty much ran on what the dice said.

The dice must love my brother since he KILLED A FREAKIN' SEVEN FOOT TROLL WITHOUT DYING WHEN HE'S A ONE FREAKIN' LEVEL CHARACTER.

I helped :3 (a little)

But yeah, that was great, I was looking forward to doing it again. And then the internet went down. See, we were using an internet dice roll generator, so it was slightly disappointing for me. Plus I was supposed to sign up for financial aide online today. I'm sighing right now. But it's fine now. It's so weird. It just went on and off on a whim. It went down for six whole hours afterwords before suddenly coming on a few minutes ago. And it was so random.

The weirdest part, oh just wait 'til you hear this: According to the double computer icon on the lower right corner of my laptop's taskbar my internet was working the entire time.

WHAT.

And then I come back, and WHAT DO I FIND?

Tripping Wizards



Totally dude.

So our little helper person thing the CPS sent us came to visit. And apparently I missed her...

D'oh!

I blame the buses. Our transport here sucks. And it was cold as hell. At least I got to listen to some nice people talk about their travels. Seriously, these people have been to Ireland, England, Mexico, Belgium, Germany, France, and Sicily...they're freakin' awesome. One of the two even lived in California for a time. She had this great description going on about one of the earthquakes. Makes me glad there ain't any earthquakes up here. And apparently, they charge a lot of money for harley shirts in England. Not that I'm much of a saleswoman.

Haha! Let in the tourest jokes!

...Right, anyways; Social Workers.

My dad didn't like her. From his own words, she was "disgusting". Yay, I like the sound of this arrangement already. My dad wrote a story about our situation last night, fiction of course, as a sort of testament to mom. Turns out this social worker hated it. Well. HATER'S GONNA HATE. I honestly liked the story. It had a surreal thing going on with a demonic evil haunting my mom and stuff, driving her to insanity. Pretty solid story. I don't know why people have no sense of imagination these days. It blows my mind sometimes.

As it turns out, my dad was inspired to become a writer thanks to tabletop roleplay. Now, I'd like you folks to know that I am an avid roleplayer, I have so many characters on hold, it ain't even funny, (I guess it runs in the family huh?), so when my dad tells me he's planning on getting us the entire set of The Fantasy Trip, of course I'd be freakin' excited! This game, it's freakin' old as hell, dating back to the 70s. I didn't even know it existed until now. I'm telling ya, I'm ready to play as an elf who wields a bow and is friends with little critters and shit. It'll be fun.

I'm totally gonna raid a castle.

But enough about my geeky family (I never realized how geeky we truly are o.O), Rebecca's got some problems with her grandmother. Apparently she had a heart attack or something and is in the hospital as well. Fuck. What is with all these people and getting into the hospital all at the same time? My dad called up mom the other day and she sounded terrible. She was crying and everything, saying "sorry" OVER and OVER again. I couldn't handle it for long, and had to hand the phone back to dad before I could muster a word. My brother Joshua's much better at acting calm than I am. His a pretty nonchalant dude. I think that when he plays TFT, he'll be something of the silent warrior type. I can just feel it, ya know?

Still no dreams, and hardly any sleep. I find myself dozing off in classes instead. I think I need to start taking some sleeping pills or something, because really, this shit is starting to get real ridiculous real fast. I'm even starting to see freakin' bangs under my eyes. Rebecca keeps on telling me I need help.

Yeah, and I'm seeing a psychiatrist tomorrow.
