Ok, let's hope this works. LJ is still giving me crap, so I'm trying this through the e-mail feature. Hope it shows up right. I'll try to keep it to the point. Or whatever.

The past few days have been interesting, I suppose. Johnny had a heat-rash looking thing that came and went. LJ had some crap going on, so I couldn't post anything long enough worth mentioning. Joe made a great dinner with coconut, curry, shrimp and rice (with pineapple and mango). Live at Gotham City was good Friday night - Jim Breuer (hosting) doing SEMI-INTELLIGENT and NON-OFFENSIVE humor, omg and I like him now, where before I thought he was stupid. I guess parenting changes some people.

Today we went to my mom's for another cookout (I know, wtf), barbeque chicken for my step-sister's birthday, and Johnny went in the pool for the first time. He didn't like it at first, but once he got used to it, he didn't want to get out. He mostly liked being held and bobbing a bit, and splashing his little hand in the water. Eventually he was talking and grinning with his cousins, and by the time we left, he was making the puckered fish-face (I wish I had a pic to show everyone). He always gets happy when it's time to go, I don't understand. Some other things happened over the past couple days that I won't get into, but Joe's trustworthiness became an issue (don't worry, it's nothing like what you're probably thinking, but any kind of trust issues are a big deal with me), and I'm kind of still mad at him. I think life would be a lot easier much of the time if I didn't love him so damned much. Also, I got sick of my mp3 library, but that hasn't forced me to buckle down and write.

But I will. Right now. Also, I'm going to work on a list entry fanfiction catalogue for my writing journal, and maybe a recommended reading list while I'm at it. Then I'll work on new shrine layouts, when I get the time. Also, I joined a new text RPG at the Fantasy World Forums, and it looks really interesting, so I'm excited for its opening tomorrow.

Okay, I think that's it for now. I'll come back and edit my tags and tunes later or something. I don't really know how to use this feature too well.

So I figured out today that if I set Johnny down in his room with the door wide open, he will crawl over to the open door and bat it back and forth in his hands, then kind of peer around it to see if he can figure out how it works. It was very interesting to watch, him opening and closing the door, peeking through the open sliver of light to look at me. Hee.

Okay, I started out the night with another one of those heavenly drinks. Maybe not the best idea, but whatever. I got a few paragraphs done. But MY LEGS HURT. I DON'T KNOW WHY?

I'm just... right now I'm tired. And sick of everything. And I mean everything. I don't want to sleep, mostly because I want to write, but I can't make myself sit here anymore. I don't think a smoke or a drink would help. I don't think tea would, either. Thank goodness I don't do any 'recreational' drugs. I am tired of grape juice. I am tired of giving my opinion on issues I care about when it doesn't matter to anyone else. This rice? Is disgusting. I shouldn't have put teriyaki on it. I wish I could find a sound file converter that actually worked.

Maybe I will read myself to sleep. I could stand to do some more reading, especially since I have NEW BOOKS. When I finish them, I'll post so you know if they're any good or not. Yes, this is what I need. I'll get a fresh start in the morning, and maybe you'll see a new chapter of Agapé before the day is through. Like anyone's actually looking for it anymore.

[This song] could drive anyone crazy after a while. I am going to have it stuck in my head tonight, and I won't be able to sleep. But I like it anyways. I snagged it from Jay Gordon's MySpace page. What am I doing stalking him? Wouldn't you like to know.
