BUGS

BUUUUUGS

That's one advantage of living in a desert environment, where almost all is dead. No goddamn bugs. Sure, there's some ants, some mosquitos, some spiders, but if you protect your house thoroughly enough you can make sure they don't make their way inside your house. You have those guys everywhere here! Flies, spiders, tiny bastards, huge bastards, and flying bastards that need to be punched out of the sky. And they come in swarms! A wall of mosquitos right on a door!

Of course, that's the least of my worries. There is, of course, the weather. It can only be a punishment from the lord. It rains, it pours, it thunders, and sometimes it rains while the sun is out. The night comes early, and the dead walk! This is not regular weather! Clearly, I have been sent to this country to commit jihad against the stratosphere!

Then again, I am on summer vacation, and so far, despite the bugs and weather, it's been fun. I just felt like I should get all of my troubles out of the way. I still have one more to talk about, but I'll leave that for later. I feel like talking about all the nicer things that have happened. For example, for a week, I've been in Philadelphia with super-awesome (second?) great-uncle and aunt. Then a week with my mother's friends and their children, who are all my age or older at Virginia Beach. Now I'm still in Virginia Beach, now just chilling at my mother's cousin's place after all that hectic hanging around. Needless to say, everyone I know is awesome.

So much food. So much Oreo products! I can't finish my plates in American restaurants, because the portions are always so big.

I've bought a lot of things. New books. Bunch of great movies. Got me some Mel Brooks collection and some Space Oddesy, as well as some complete series of Firefly. The cashiers were very enthusiastic about me buying Firefly. Now to just watch them all. At some point.

Of course, I still have some problems. My laptop.

Damn it, my laptop.

Let me tell you a story. A long time a go, I had my own laptop. It got a virus, and blue screen. Then, when I cleared everything up, it was fine, until the fan and heating got so bad that I can't go five seconds without the laptop turning off by itself. Then I inherited my mother's laptop, assuring her that I don't care about the screen turning black every now and then, forcing me to move the screen until it shows up again. Then I can't move it for fear of having it turn black. I started to care, needless to say. Especially when the power button got stuck and the sound stopped working without external speakers. I got that fixed. Then I got blue screen and was forced to install Vista. Then I took it with me to America, even deciding to buy a new battery online so that it no longer needs to be plugged in all the time. Right after I bought the battery, it turns out the Vista I installed is not considered genuine, and Microsoft cockblocked me from my own laptop!

So I bought a new laptop. My old one was HP, so I decided to get a nice Sony.

It's very nice. Can go two hours unplugged.

Yup.

The only problem is my external harddrive. All it does is its constant searching of preconfigured driver folders. For two hours straight. Without going anywhere. Again. As it did with my old laptop. Until it suddenly decided to work, without me knowing how.

Hrmm.

I might be cursed.

But it's all good. In a while, I'll be going south to have my sister transfer to her college, and then going straight north for my own Canadian college.

Also eating an Oreo cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory is like having sex with my tongue and throat. Goddamn. SO GOOD

Sometimes, you are playing the game! You Dominated a few BLU characters, and you capture their Intel twice!
And then-
BAM
Yes!
Team Balance!
The cruel equalizer! The sneaky clotheswticher! It forces a man who says "Better RED than dead" to become a man who must say, "Better dead than RED"!

Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin'. Tossed salad and scrambled eggs
Oh My! Mercy!
And maybe I seem a bit confused, yeah maybe, but I got you pegged!

But I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
They're calling again.
:iconrocketspy:
Yeah, I hate that.
You're defending the last control point!
Your team is gonna win!
Then you get switched.

It happened once while my team was losing. They switched me over to the winning team!

Then the team I was just on somehow grow cajones and beat us.

I was all " ):< ". I could not even be verbal about it! It was an emoticon sort of emotion.

That thread sucked too much to trouble Lockman over it. He's a busy guy, you know.

:iconart-of-hilt:
I guess the cops handled it just fine.
It's just... I wanted to take a picture of Lockman to advance my photographing position in the newspaper!

Now I need to look for a radioactive insect to bite me so I could take pictures of myself instead.

It's hard being an imaginary photographer sometimes!

Sights and visions, prophecies and horror they all come in one.
