Cal Poly Trip:
Hey everyone, it has again been too long since my last update. Well my internet activities have been distracted by my adoption of Daikatana.net recently and building up that site into what I want it to become is going to take all the spare time I have for the next few weeks or so. I promise something cool and new here soon as i get Daik.net actually functional and on its way to being the best Daikatana site ever. For now I am going to registration at Cal Poly for 2 days. While I am gone could someone find TJInsane? He has not been in the forums for days nor on aim.

Lan:
A good lan is one where you are sad you are tired as hell and have to go home and sleep because you could still have fun playing something for a few more hours.

Just a quick update, the forums can be accessed at forums.altereddreams.net and the alice section is at alice.altereddreams.net now, more subdomains will come later along with something else exciting, but for now just feel cool. Also I updated alice with a link to how to create basic maps for the game in Q3Radiant.

Hungry Hungry Seth!!:
I posted up a new dreamcam of the Hungry Hungry Lizard I found in a cave while playing the Orc campaign of Warcraft III. He made me happy and ate lots of mushrooms, I was hoping he would reveal a secret room or something but he just ate and ate. Oh wel. I just got back from my drug test for work, now all I have left is going to get finger printed in like El Cajon and a TB test somewhere I don't know at the moment. Also working on getting a few odd jobs in the coming weeks becuase I need to restock the coffers after some of my financial transgressions. In a while sarahy and I will be going out to do something, possibly visiting La Jolla Shores, though the sky is a bit cloudy right now, we shall see. Blasted coastal tomfoolery.

Outages:
Sorry about the damn outages and the long load times recently, but my server has been being a bit strange, not at all this particular sites fault. Hopefully the forums are back up and will be speedy and good for you all in the near future. I have a lot of work right now since I was sick for like a week and I have things I had been putting off before I got sick, so they are REALLY put off now. If updates are scarce for a few days, it is because I am working on securing my job later this summer or doing odd jobs to pay for my self until i have steady pay or preparing for college.

Stranger and Stranger:
In continuing being very strange, I was just singing My Fair Lady songs in the kitchen even though my throat hurts. I don't understand myself sometimes, it must be these damn drugs.

A Sprinkler of Emo?:
Sorry if this makes no sense, I wrote it after I had already recited it all to myself in my head and so of course i forgot everything by the time I had a few sentences done which is why I want a word processor attached to my brain. I lay in bed, the cool summer air of the evening coming in through the open window to my room. The bright sun is beginning to set, bringing a calm to the heat of the afternoon. That moist feeling of mist that is not mist which comes from sprinklers floats in with the air. In my silent ponderings a memory is triggered and I recall the days when my mom would take the hose to the plants outside my old room. I had a larger room then, with more windows, and so the whole room would be filled with the smell of summer evening and the mist of the garden. Those were not the only plants she had to tend, for there were acres and acres of then, from the pines trees to the grass to the iceplant that would make snapping noises if i tried and walk on the banks. Like the iceplant I lost a harmonica in, my mom promised we would look for it when she dug it all up, but I never saw it again. Fred gave me his old one to replace it I believe, but I still remember that loss. I cry now, not because I am still missing the harmonica in the iceplant, but because here I am laying in my bed smelling the mists of a past that seems so vivid and alive, and yet totally lost. I sit here, years later, and see all that I have gained, I mean I graduated from high school, how far away now seemed from me back when I would stand atop the lightning rock and survey the houses and valley before me. As far as I have come I feel I have also lost something, lost the energy and faith I once had in myself and the world. Not all of it of course or I why would I be going to a 4 year college except out of hopes that I might one day be something to the world. But there is the difference you see, because when I could dig a mine and sail a ship through sage brush, I knew I WAS something. I hear the front door open, my mom is going outside to turn off the sprinklers, I think to myself, "no", but in a second they gurgle and stop.

Long time:
I just loaded up Half-Life because I wanted to look at this map I am thinking about finishing and porting to The Wastes. Once I got into the map I started running around looking for missing things and such. Then I tried to jump and I stopped hard. I tried to jump again and I stopped. And again and again. Then looked down and realized that I was hitting E, the jump key for Morrowind, because that is the only FPS I have played since the Lan at my house. Fear the day you forget how to play Half-Life when you have had a copy since the day it shipped.

oh and the picture:
I updated the webimage thingy finally, even though i really like the other one. Thats an old alanis photo from her second album tour i believe, I tossed it up because before I got sick i was rediscovering some old alanis songs i have that are really actually good. I could have choosen a much worse band/person to be a fan of in middle school, though propably not a stranger one. I haven't had a digital camera all summer since I'm not in school anymore so I dont have anything recent to put up, though when i feel better i have like maybe 5 shots from the fair i took for the photos section just to add something, it feels lonely. Damn I am long winded today. I TOLD YOU ALL I WOULD BE BACK!

A post of sickness:
So I owe the internet a post, or two, or three, or perhaps like 2 1/4 weeks worth of posts, whatever that may be. So here is my sick story to begin with: Friday June 27: Sore Throat Sat: More Sore Throat but worse Sun: more bad sore throat, go down to the Urgent care, they say its Strep and give me some medicine. Mon: At like 1 am i wake to find my throat is so swollen i can't swallow saliva without great pain so I sit up all night and spit till 8 Am and I call back to urgent care, they say I need to talk to a doctor so I keep calling till like 11 when i get ahold of one and they say to come right down, Sarahy comes over (<3) and takes me down there. We get in and they want to do a bloodtest, so they bust this big needle in my arm but the lady is alll oppps i missed and she is so bad with this thing it hurts like a monkey so I am like come back in 5 minutes while i let sarahy talk me into having her do it again, so she tries again and missed the vein again and so she calls in some nurse named Joe who had a thing for calling me boss. He got it in alright but not without getting blood going all over my arm, luckily I wasn't looking but sarahy got all pale and had to sit down, it was not fun. After they got the blood they PUT ME ON AN IV!!! of like antibiotics and stimulants and stuff for 30 minutes and then came back to tell me I don't have mono but they don't really know what I have, something bacteria because i have like a million white blood cells pimping around so they are just keeping me on the antibiotics. I know I am missing a ton off stuf but Ihave a better story and I don't wanna get tired of typing. I may add something later. So anyway we got home and Sarahy hung out and played with Nisha (dog) and we watched Clerks with Selena (sister) till my mom got home with my aunt and I went my room, opened the window cuz it was humid and went to bed. Now the next part of the night I don't recall because i woke up today in my bed with the window closed and my shirt off, but in my room with everything in place except for a NIC card i knocked off the fridge by my bed. According to my mom and my mother though, I got up many times last night to go to the bathroom and missed my door and went into my sisters room and fell asleep in her bed because she was in the office on AIm till like 3 when she came in and was like what the hell. I got up again and i guess walked into my other sisters room that my sister was now in and said something like good thing you found a bed and then went into my room or something, I don't know, they must have given me some exciting drugs at the doctors cuz I woke up today and was like man I can't believe i never had to get up and pee i drank so much water last night, but my mom swears its true, scary. Then i went back today and got another IV load and then they took out the IV thing that i had in my arm all last night (GROOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS) and now i don't really feel so bad but I still have like many many days of medication taking like 4 times a day so big fun for me!!!! yeah. Maybe I will be lan ready by next week sometime when sarahy is working, but I am taking things slow for a while guys. Anyway thats my tale of where I have been at least for the last few days, i'd tell you all about the fair and the magic and the lans and the games and the movies with sarahy but that is all like a week ago and who cares really. Before I was sick there were no posts because I was just busy with life and summer and stuff. lovea and a peacea.
