Speaking of getting things back...

I let a friend borrow my Batman Arkham City. That was like two weeks ago!. And i know he had to beat the damn game already. It only took me three days to bet the story. He'd better have it by Wednesday of the coming week or....well i haven't really decided what i was gonna do to him.But It'll be bloody, and assassin's creed inspired.

You can't fix her, Joey. That way lies madness. Demand your stuff back and cut ties completely. You can still feel sorry for her craziness - from a long distance.

And see a doctor for those headaches.

Kind of know what you mean there. On the road to my work the speed limit is sixty. When I'm about to enter the city it's forty five. People usually don't go that slow until they reach the stoplights, so I just have to hope there aren't any cops around.

Why can't people get along with their step-family? Here's what family basically is: You put people together under the same roof and force them to live together. It should have little to do with being closely related.

I've been demanding my stuff back for months. She can apparently go out and party with friends multiple times a week, but she can't stop by the post office to send back a box. I did it for her stuff in less than a week after she demanded it more often than I do. And I thought I was lazy!

I would go to a doctor but student loans don't see aneurysms as forgivable. I'm afraid I'd just get even more bills to pay if it ends up being more serious than I thought. Speaking of which, that art school I wanted to get into (don't know if I mentioned it on here) ended up being too expensive even with scholarships and grants. That sucks because I was going to go there for video game design and animation (Disney representatives were actually interviewing a number of students for animators when I took a tour the other week).

I've met them all and they're pretty crazy. Remember how I said she has panic attacks over sushi? She thinks the other people in her family are crazier.

I'm saying she's the sane one out of all of them. And she's f*cked up. She thought he was a burglar or that one guy that caused all this drama. I guess that's enough for her to hate her step-brother? I don't really get it.

I'm not sure, actually. One of our mutual friends tells me all about her "episodes". That was one that really made people question it. Personally, I don't think she knows what panic attacks are. People describe her as just getting angry/upset with no clear reason. She doesn't show any severe symptoms of a real panic attack. More people think she's just bipolar and using the "panic attack" story as an attention-grabber.

Your new sig looks familiar. One of my cats drinks water like that (my black cat, not the one named Joey). What he really likes is to jump in the shower with me for a drink. Basically anything to avoid using his water dish.

using a youth ticket when she is over age 18

How was he sure she is over 18? If she were buying cigarettes they'd ask to see her ID.

Part of the problem is that it formerly was a youth card. I was required to show her birth certificate to TransLink (at the time) in order to get it. When she turned 18, the card automatically changed over to an adult card, at least as far as Clipper Card (formerly TransLink) is concerned. Clipper and Muni computers apparently don't communicate with each other.

The Muni official checked her ID and then checked the card with Muni records. He didn't even consider checking what the actual fare paid was (and if he can't access that information, that's INSANE) which is, of course, the only information which matters at all.

I guess now that it's taken care of, it's time to rant.

I left my home Sunday morning to run some errands. On my way back from said errands not more than 2 hours later I got an email telling me that my xbox purchase had been confirmed. I was like, "WTF, mate?" Still on the way home, I checked out my Xbox live profile. Apparently, I had played some FIFA 12 and gotten some achievements. Yay me.

Also, to add to the fact that my Xbox LIVE account was hacked, it's linked to my computers. I run Windows Live Mesh to do remote desktop connect to my work laptop and my home desktop. I also have remote backup of my computers all using Windows Live, which is linked to, you guessed it, my Xbox LIVE account and password.

So I get home and change all my passwords immediately (fortunately, I could still log in). I make it so the profile has to be redownloaded to the Xbox with the new password. Fortunately, all that was lost was the 1640 MS points to my profile, plus the 800 more they purchased. (TBH, only losing $35 would be lucky given everything else they could have had access to).

I called Support, told them the situation, told them I still had access and mitigated losses by changing the password. They said they'd look into the situation. They did. Today I got my 1640 points back, got an extra 1000 points, and am getting refunded the $10 charged to my account. So I'm fine with the outcome, but not so much the situation. It's not like I ever put my password and name together anywhere but the xbox site. Oh well. Puzzled

Fortunately, I remembered to call mom in the middle of all this to wish her a happy mothers day. Smile

So at about 9:10 A.m. i was in gym class. Since we are still on testing schedule, my first two classes are two hours instead of one. Gym happens to be my second class today. So about three hours in, me a a friend were playing basketball. We've played a couple games together ,me winning 0,he winning all. Hes also a pretty sore looser. So me winning this game wasn't good for me anyways. As i go to tie my sneakers, the b*tch aims the basket ball at my head. Thus giving me the worst head pains I've had so far. Even though almost incoherent , i manage to finish the game, I lost obviously. But at least i didn't get Knocked out or anything.
The only symptoms i suffered were spacing out every couple of minutes.

Try getting a basketball thrown into your chest by someone who knows what they're doing. That hurts.

Pain is inherently linked to brain activity so if it's bad enough it can affect vision and other normal functions of the body. Some people even vomit due to pain. Puzzled

Once in high school, I was hit in the side of my face (almost centered on my left temple) by a basketball. The kid kicked it from across the gymnasium and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Broke my glasses and caused my whole left side to be covered in red. Not blood, it was just deep red from the impact (I don't bruise easily). It caused me to be dizzy for about 20 minutes.

Oh, Lisa. You're way too young to be Johnny Depp's mom. This weekend he will be 49 years old (whereas Paul Giamatti and Anderson Cooper just turned 45). Depp's real mother is 77.

So don't sell yourself short. You've still got it going on!

Could be worse though.... Your house could burn down with everyone that lives there stuck inside.

But that sucks. Keep us posted.

As far as we can tell, it sounds like an electrical fire. No one was there at the time. And it's mostly the bedrooms that were destroyed. Apparently the other side just has smoke damage. Good thing I brought my xbox. If I have to, I might have to sell it. Too bad I left most of the games, though. :/

He mentioned it possibly being an electrical fire.

That's how most fires tend to start when nobody is there as there is no cooking or anything else going on for it to be something like that. It only takes one overheated appliance or overloaded socket for a small spark to start a major fire.

We still can't leave until tomorrow morning. Everyone else is relieved about their own problems with it, but I still have my cat. My friend was sweet enough to drive by and take some quick looks to see if she was anywhere in sight. Still nothing, but she was most likely hiding and/or sleeping. Doesn't help that she has dark fur and he looked for her close to midnight.
