Reached my breaking point
March 8, 2008
Wow. I had my 17th b-day party which was a LAN, go ahead and call me a geek and then when you’re done doing that and you see that it actually annoys me go ahead and console me by telling me that I will someday make millions – I am so sick of being told that someday I will be rich or that I’m so smart, I am tired of feeling like I have to like up to this larger than life super programmer that I’m not and never will be.

Anyways as soon as I got home from school (2:40) I started to set up because you have to prepare if you are having 13 guys come over. So I set up table to put PCs on, MADE about 8 network cables, wired everything that I could with my 8 cables and 2 power strips, got snacks, and moved my computer. No sooner than when I had started to move my pc did Drew and Tyler show up. They were followed by a steady stream until all 13 were there. Now there were two thing I hadn’t prepared for, one was space, I had 3 tables and a booth and that made only about 11ish spots, so we had to be clever and somehow (after ALOT of complaining which always makes me mad – I am feed you, having you over to my house, and giving u all the snacks you want and you complain???) we fit everyone in. The other thing I hadn’t foreseen was the fact that some people are too stupid to remember to bring A. power strip and B. network cables. I was fairly sure that those were obvious thing you would need for a “computer party”. I was wrong. After I found more network cables for the idiots that can’t remember simple things, the complaining about Rock Band started. I have Rock Band yes and It’s a fun game – however my xbox decided not to play it – we tried a different game and it worked fine and we tried another RB disc and It froze at the same spot mine did. Throughout the rest of the night I had to put up with people who were complaining about RB not working. I wanted to strangle them for being so dense. It’s not my fault and I moved on. I also had to put up with these same people constantly ask me to try to get RB working again about 20 time more that night. People expect me to drop everything I’m doing to run and help them fix their insignificant problem. I also had to put up with Andy complaining about how his internet didn’t work. I tried another cable and that one didn’t work either so I knew it was him PCs and not my problem. I found out later that my router had him still blocked from the last LAN which I will talk about right now. Over last few LANs I have had to block people’s connection to the internet through my router because not matter what I say they think my house is a democracy and if they want to look at PORN then they can. Yes PORN you did not read it wrong. If my parents found out I would be in so much trouble yet they don’t care. I don’t ask for much at my house, all I ask is that
1. Don’t make a mess – yes we are messy but clean up as you go (ie: cans, popcorn, pizza)
2. Don’t look at porn
3. Don’t cuss – my parent don’t like this at all – I don’t care but when you are at my house shut up
4. Keep sound at a reasonable level
5. If you leave the house after 12 you’re not coming back – Parents again they don’t want people coming and going
I don’t think this is too much to ask at MY HOUSE. When we are somewhere else I could care less but at my house follow my rules! So I am still get fussed at for blocking porn, Rock Band, tight space etc. Then Sam come to me, in the middle of my game with 5 other friends there, and asks me for pizza or something to eat. I tell him the pizza is gone and before I can tell him there are more snacks up stairs her get all mad like it’s my fault. They pizza came at 7ish and Sam was a little late but he still got their in time to eat but he wasn’t hungry then but I guess he expected us to save him pizza (??!?!?!?!?!?) then he tells me my LAN was gay and it wasn’t fun at all. I get fed up at this point and tell him if It sucks so much then he can just leave. He takes me up on my offer locks his PC and walks home. I was stunned – I just wanted him to shut-up but whatever. Before he left he changed his facebook status to Sam is having the worst week ever. WOW I guess it was too much to ask that he put on a happy face for one day and not be a JERK at my birthday party and insult me. I really don’t understand why he did what he did but frankly I don’t care. So far a LAN sounds pretty suck huh? Well it’s about to get worse. After everyone left at around 12ish I went back down to the basement to start cleaning. If everyone had just helped clean at the end or if they had just cleaned as the night had gone on it wouldn’t be that bad. Instead I was greeted by piles of cans, spills, pizza boxes and crust, popcorn everywhere, and water bottles galore. I just don’t get it. I spent an hour cleaning! I had to fold all the 10+ blankets that they used to sleep under. It would have take all of us about 1 min to fold them all and put them in a stack, instead it took me 15 minutes. Then came the taking all the rolling + kitchen chairs upstairs and the folding the folding chairs. It would have take all of them about 2 min maybe, it took me 10. Then came the picking up of all the trash which could have been avoided or only taken about 2 min for all of us, it took me 20. Then I had to fold down all the tables and put them up, a 1 min job for about 6 people, it took me about 5. Then I had to vacuum which take 10 min either way because there is only one vacuum but if they hadn’t made such a mess it would have only taken 5 or so. Then came the rolling up of my network cables thrown every which way that could have been fixed by rolling the cables when you pack up your computer instead of just throwing it out of your way. This took me about 10min to untangle them and everything and It wouldn’t have taken anytime at all for them to roll them. Then you have to take up all the trash and throw it away. So it took me an hour to clean it all up but if they had stayed to help instead of running away so they wouldn’t have to do any work they only would have had to stay for 11 min max. I just am so lost to why they trash my house every time. They complain about how I don’t make popcorn or won’t let them make it but the floor was COATED with popcorn and the table that the ingredients were on was covering in oil, kernels, and the flavoring powder. I try to NEVER leave a mess, I always bring my cords, and a power strip, and I don’t leave my cans lying around. I am fed up with the about of disrespect I get from people I call my friends and don’t understand why they think they can do whatever they want at my house. I’m sick of it. On top of it all they anyways want to have LANs at my house but when I suggest one of their houses they get all offended and what not. You have to be willing to give, I have hosted enough LANs and I am not hosting another one until I attend at least 3 LANs at OTHER people’s houses.
New Car!!!
March 3, 2008
I got a new car
I will add pictures later when it is light outside.
It is a 1993 Honda Accord LX (same color as my last one) 5 speed
Here is a picture of the same car (<<<– NOT MY CAR)
Probably the best shape car I have had so far
The hood has rust and a dent in it (shopping cart according to last owner) but he game me a new hood that he never got around to painting and attaching so that will be about $100 but we knocked $300 off the price tag cause it needs new struts which make a knocking/creaking sound on sharper turns all in all I am very happy with it and just finished installing my radio which required me to pull out half the car and unscrew the other half. I paid $2300 for the car.
