Woke up sick as a dog. Had to take a 9:30am Calc2 test in this condition. Got siccker throughout the day, as I attended classes from 9:30am to 5:00pm, only breaking for lunch. Went home, changed into my renn costume, and Beau and I headed to anime club. I was uncomfortable, tired, and just generally ill all through club, but apparently managed a decent cover job. I came home, tried to sleep, unsucessfully. I ended up throwing up what tiny bit of dinner I had eaten at the beginning of club, took some sudafed, went to sleep about 30 mins later.

Felt cruddy all day. Mom, over the phone, managed to get me to stay well drugged. Got a paid LJ account for my legend04 user name (used as an update notice for my online comic) as a gift from another comic artist. Went to Physics2 lab at 6pm. Learned standing for a few minutes without walking tended to make my knees want to go out. Came back, conked out.
- Thursday -
Stumbled through the 9:30-5 schedule again, feeling better due to drugs, but still stuffed and exausted. Went home. Stephen came over and watched som TV, while I talked to my parents on and off, ended up with Mums coming to visit friday. Took medicine, conked out, forgot my online Physics2 quiz.
- Friday -
Got up at 6am. Registered for classes at 7. Cleaned my apt before Mums arrived. Feeling much better, just a sore throat and low energy. Went to lunch with Mom. Came back, hung out. Jay and Beau came over, we all went to see the One with Stephen and Chris, hit Craker Barrel for dinner. I oreder chiken and dumplings, i really wanted it, so of course, five minutes after we order, they come back to let us know they're out of it... grr... I order something else that turned out to not be up to normal CB goodness. lukewarm and dry turkey and dressing... more grr... Chris feels the need to harass me all through this... So i'm not thrilled by dinner, embarassed by the antics of my tablemates. *glares at Chris, Stephen, Beau and Jay* Can we not harass me, wrestle over silverware and other such things during dinner? Aren't all of you older than me? *sigh* went back to my apt where Chris and Jay spent around an hour or more trying to hook up to my computer to get Inu Yasha episodes, and changing settings and shit on my computer without asking first. And yes, they were all set back, but dammit... ASK! He was still harassing me, and at one poit I kicked at him, and in pulling it, hit my knee on the table. It is now a very dark red spot, it was already purple not 2 minutes after the kick. Not to mention, I was stressed, exauhsted, and relapsing into sickness from pushing myself too much. Mom was exauhsted too, and uh, Chris, she was getting ready to throw you out, and she was kinda pissed about your dinner behavior too. She likes to be a part of the group, but she still wants the respect that elders/parents deserve, and she felt as though you ignored that respect factor, not to mention general manners. Anyways... After everyone left, Mom and I pretty much immedeately went to sleep. This wasn't until almost midnight though. Hello, buddy people, I was sick, Mom had driven over 4 hours, staying that late was not cool. And we tried the entire hint thing, but some people are too damned dense sometimes.

Woke up, my head was stuffed, and my throat hurt. Mom made breakfast. I finished todays comic page. I couldn't get the comic to even upload, ftp issues. Snooping online found out about sword production for the LOTR movie. *swoon.love.mustget* United(goods sword company) is making Sting(released November) Glamdring-Gandalf's sword(released December), and the sword of the Witchking(released December), with more to come at each movie release, December 2002 and 2003. (http://www.unitedcutlery.com/rings.html _ http://www.triadbusinessonline.com/bladesbybrown/lordoftherings.html _ http://www.eknifeworks.com - search Sting) Mom and I went to do groceries. I was exauhsted again, just from grocery shopping. Oh, and I'm loosing my voice, very badly. We came back, put up groceries, did some stuff to deal with roaches, which were just starting to make an appearance in my apt. We went to Applebee's and had white choclate and walnut blondies with vanilla ice cream and coffee. We then went to BAM. I got Magic's Promise and Magic's Price, two books of the Herald Mage series by Mercades Lackey. See Laura? I'm trying it! I dunno, though, up until the last part of Magic's Pawn I wanted to drop kick Vanyel and his wimpy attitude, gods know he needed it, but the wingbrothers just made the book for me. Almost elfg-like guys, long silver hair... Damn, I have some sort of weakness for that... Also, the store had this great LOTR stuff, which was neat, especially the poster-sized calendar, with a pic of the blond elf-guy as one of the months... *fangirl.swoon* BAM also had these lovely LOTR bookmarks, with THE ring attached to them. I now have one, and the ring is on a little satin cord around my neck, it does fit my fingers, but then there's that entire invisible thing to deal with, so, you know.... ^_~ Anyways, Mom left for home. I got in my Inuyasha(read Sesshoumaru) wallscroll and keychain, both of which kick butt. The wallscroll is actually really small though, but it has these red tassels, so it just looks right anyways.

Anyway, that catches everyone up.

Boy I must be bored...

Wow. It was so fun. Matt just came by the apt and said "it's time for us to throw you out of a plane." ^_^ No, really, he did say that.
It's been 3 weeks since he last flew, and he has a license. So, Matt had been talking friday about going up today, but the weather reports said it would storm all weekend. So this Sunday, since the weather was good, he took Dave, Beau and me up for an hour in a Cessna 172 SkyHawk. It's a cute little four seater plane. I had fun, except for when he stalled the engine on purpose, that scared me. He slowed down to like 65 nauts, then the plane felt like it was moving backwards and the propeller almost stopped spinning and the engine wasn't roaring anymore. Then he righted everything, but it scared me. ^^;; Otherwise it was a blast.
Then we came back and had ice cream at Aubie's. *^_^*

It's really sad, now that I think about it. My last club meetings of the year are today. Damn...

Pantheon at 7pm as well as Anime Club at 7pm. My normal solution is go to the hour long meeting of Pantheon, then go to the Anime Club meeting until whenever. But, I want to go to the out to eat thing with the Pantheon kids after the meeting tonight.

I saw Brett, who was at May Day (Queen Of Winter), at the induction into some idiotic honor frat. We had both gotten in. He was the only one there that I knew, and he was kind enough to come talk to me. I'm not used to people doing stuff like that. It was nice of him. It also reminded me how much I've really come to care about the Pantheon members. I want to get to know them better, but i'm too afraid of being pushed away or getting hurt, or hurting them to do anything about it. Anyways, that's why I want to go this evening to the dinner thing.

But then again, there's Anime Club. It's not the last time i'll see them this semester because we're planning to have dinner out saturday evening, all of us except Matt. That's why I was planning to schedule a little go grab ice-cream together thing on dead day, thursday. But there's a schedule conflict, Matt is only free up until 3pm and Chris is only free after 6pm. Since Matt can't make Saturday, I really want to schedule it where he can make it. But that's just it, it isn't scheduled yet, and Matt will have left before I could get back to Anime Club if I do the dinner thing with Pantheon.

Looks like i'm going to forfiet a chance to get better aquainted with Pantheon kids in lew of scheduling later stuff with Anime Club kids.
I hate this... I don't want to skip out on either group. Damn my luck...

I'm really going to miss all of them this summer, although the Anime Club is supposed to come visit me at home at some point.
