Power to Animals

First off: I’m definitely owning in IRPG:

In other news: at about 7:45 AM yesterday I bent over to pick up my backpack and when I came back up the power was out. This wasn’t too surprising, but the fact that it didn’t come back on immediately was pretty surprising. So, I go outside and my neighbors are all out there “we don’t have power.” Okay, so I didn’t forget to pay the bills at least. My ride shows up, we go to school. All the way down Edwardsville Road the lights are out in all buildings. The traffic lights are also out on Edwardsville Road and Wood River Ave. We get to school, and the main and south buildings are without power. However, right across the street, the east building has power. What the hell? Is that road a power grid seperator or something? We all just stood around for twenty minutes before they told us to go home.
I wasn’t too thrilled either way, as I didn’t have power at home. I spent the first thirty minutes looking for a corded phone (every phone in my house is cordless, and my cell was at my dad’s). When I finally found one and plugged it in the power came back on. Apparently some animal had chewed through a wire at a power distribution station, taking out several grids.
On a side note, I’m making progress with my Python project. I just built a few classes based on the asyncore module. It’s very interesting. I’m kind of confused though. It insists that the asyncore.poll method uses select.select, that asyncore.poll2 uses poll.poll, and that asyncore.poll3 uses select.poll. Those are all correct, according to the code; however, the process status is always listed as poll when using any of these (including asyncore.loop(use_poll=False)). I guess maybe the Python interpreter uses poll if the system supports it, even when you’re calling the select.select method. I’ll have to look that up I guess; it’s irking me.
No still haven’t talked to girl probably never will talk to girl no one cares if girl talks to me or I talk to girl except other guy that wants girl who will “get” her according to everyone I talk to which puts a real damper on my self-esteem as if I had any to begin with.
If you read that “sentence” and still want to ask me if I’ve talked to her you need to go cut your tongue out.

The Day of the Cat
[ rakaur on Fri Sep 03 at 06:37 PM // category: eawr, life, relationships, school ]
Today was interesting.
I went to school hella early (~7:20 AM), to deal with some things and in hopes of talking to that girl, which didn’t happen. I don’t think anything has really progressed on the situation.
I was supposed to go to a party tonight, but it apparently doesn’t start until it’s way too late for me to go. Stupid football games.
Anyway, on to the interesting part. I get home, and my mom leaves and about 20 minutes later comes back with a new, old cat.
About a year ago, we got a pretty white kitten. We let her out and she started getting fleas. Later, my uncle/neighbor got drunk and threw the cat across the lawn (“body slammed” was the phrase a witness used). She ran away after that, and we hadn’t seen her since.
My mom went to look at someone’s dog, and they said they were giving away a cat they’d found. Turns out, it’s the aforementioned kitten, all grown up. Things like that make my day interesting.
Anyway, I took some pictures of my cats meeting each other. It’s not going well; they’ve been doing that for about an hour now.

Some People Are Worse Than AIDS

I’m so pissed off it’s almost beyond comprehension.
So, I finally “talked” to her. All we talked about was Physics homework, but it’s better than nothing. Later, in first hour, I discovered someone else (also in our Physics class) wants her, so I was immediately depressed for the rest of the day.
Why? Well, girls will pick anyone else over me. Always. I’m actually a decent and nice person, thus I get nothing. But, I digress.
Later, in Physics, I overheard this other kid and his friends talking about her. They’re typical, and were talking about nothing other than sex. To paraphrase, “I’d like to cum all over her face.”
So, at this point, I was pretty pissed off. You know, right now, I don’t care who “gets” her. I only know that I won’t sit around and let someone like that do something like that to someone so innocent. It’s just fucked up. I don’t know what to do, but I think my only option is to talk to her and tell her what I heard at the risk of being taken for a liar, and wind up getting in a fight. I don’t even care. I won’t let someone hurt her like that.
On another subject, I come home to find that, after two years, Charter changed my IP address. They recently built an office in Roxana, which is a few miles from me. I noticed they changed people in Hartford over to it. I figured they’d leave me alone, because I’m in East Alton, and closer to the Alton office than the Roxana office, but no. This bothered me at first, because I have to change so much shit now. But you know, in comparison with the other stuff that happened today, it doesn’t even matter.
I fucking hate people.

No Backbone Since 1986

Yeah, didn’t talk to her yet. I will tomorrow. I swear.
We had hella Physics homework today, so I can use that as a conversation starter. I had like the perfect opportunities too. I never do anything, and I regret it all day. I hate me.
Sorry about the page being messed up all day (as if anyone reads this). I kind of forgot about the possibility that there wouldn’t be any posts for a month.
Oh, I didn’t have any pictures to post today, so I went outside and took some. If you haven’t caught on yet: I like to take pictures.
