- 2005-02-23 01:14:31 Yar. So my buddy Nailz tells me today that he still has a copy of our collab beta. Good. But all the project files are gone because his hard drive went "boink." Well I'm glad I can at least look at the beta and remake it if I decide to continue.

I'm not sure I should put this in here, but I think it's safe from family. Except maybe my oldest bro but that's not a prob.
Okay, so I'm using the computer tonight (family computer, but primarily my step-dad's) and it's doing a virus scan so I'm just looking around the computer at various files. I come across a Word document called 'Cry sky' and I open it. It's something my step-dad wrote.
...
It's my mother's eulogy... I'm speechless. For those of you who don't know what a eulogy is, it's normally a speech prepared by a loved one praising a person who has recently passed away. She's not dead. I don't know if he's preparing, depressed, or just feeling a little morbid but it's more than a little unnerving. She doesn't even seem all that sick right now, either.
Ugh ugh ugh. In other news, I didn't go job hunting today. Set my alarm for 10:30 so I'd get up and shower and look around, but I just couldn't get up. Yes, 10:30 is early for me. -

So I wrote tonight, and this might actually have some plot. I've decided to give up on fantasy themes altogether, and stick to modern day fiction mixed with mystery and romance. Didn't get far tonight, but I like my whopping two characters. Part of the reason I found it so hard to motivate myself to write is that I have an obsession with avoiding cliches, which I have decided to just ignore. Everything is cliche. In my opinion, it's the characters and their actions that make the story. Characters and actions are still nearly unlimited, and they drive the plot anyway.
The test is whether I write more or not. But now I sleep, because tomorrow will be stressful and depressing. -
Skype adventures
2005-02-20 03:55:25
So this guy asks permission to add me to Skype and whatnot. So I'm like "sure whatever, why not" because I add anyone that asks. So he's away and I check his listed info, and see he's from China. Sure, that's cool, I anticipate it might be difficult to understand him. Anyway, an hour later he asks if he can call. I say "sure," and the call commences.
Apparently he's a salesman that works for "inkjet materials." I wanted to tell him to stop haxx0ring my computer to buy his products, but I'm too nice. -_- Anyway, it got kinda creepy. Talking became difficult because he's in China and I'm on crappy 56k, so he switched between text and voice. Here are memorable quotations, and I hope this guy isn't someone from here...
[2:35:08 AM] Jet_wen says: inkjet materials
[2:35:13 AM] Jet_wen says: do you know
[2:35:18 AM] CJ says: Yes
[2:35:32 AM] Jet_wen says: have you ever heard about
[2:35:40 AM] CJ says: Yes, I have
[2:36:02 AM] Jet_wen says: could you tell me the details
[2:36:27 AM] CJ says: The details of inkjet? No, I couldn't.
[2:36:35 AM] Jet_wen says: yea
[2:36:54 AM] Jet_wen says: tell me what you know about inkjet materials
That went on for a while, and I have no idea why. Why was he asking me for info about his business?
[2:40:22 AM] Jet_wen says: could you tell me the details?
[2:40:26 AM] Jet_wen says: what you know
[2:40:35 AM] Jet_wen says: tell me what you know?
[2:40:40 AM] Jet_wen says: do you have a pic?
[2:40:50 AM] Jet_wen says: on the SKype?
[2:40:55 AM] CJ says: No, I don't
[2:41:01 AM] Jet_wen says: the right is my pic
[2:41:10 AM] Jet_wen says: have you notice that?
[2:41:15 AM] CJ says: Yes, I have
[2:41:28 AM] Jet_wen says: thanks
Yeah... I guess it's nice to know what the person you're talking to looks like, but the topic switch was random and threw me off guard. Plus he's a 30 year old China man.
[2:43:16 AM] Jet_wen says: probably the line is not clear
[2:43:38 AM] Jet_wen says: so ,i call you later,ok,what time do you often online?
[2:44:02 AM] CJ says: Well it's 2:30 am here, and I'm usually on earlier
[2:43:46 AM] Jet_wen says: i am always online?
[2:43:52 AM] Jet_wen says: i am always online
[2:43:58 AM] Jet_wen says: i will wait for you
What? Wait for me? How about no? QUIT HAX0RRING ME CHINAMAN!! - 2005-02-19 15:39:03 Yep, didn't make it into the final. Oh well. Good luck to those who did.
