A long, long night.

I was all ready to go to bed at Midnight when I was all done with movie night, but when I came back up here, James was still not home. So I thought "oh, well he'll be home soon, so I'll just wait up a little bit for him, since I have things that need doing anyway." And I parked it in front of my computer and did some stuff for work.

TIME PASSES...

Around 1:00am, I thought "oh yeah, it's role-playing, he couldn't have possibly come back before now." and I kept waiting and typing away.

Around 2:00am, I thought "damnit, he said he'd get done early. Punk." but I figured that, if I'd waited this long, I might as well keep waiting, so I kept typing and clicking away at Mr. Computer.

Around 3:00am, I thought "he'd better get his silly ass home VERY SOON." I was starting to worry, because he'd never been gone much past 3am for one of these things before. So I *had* to wait up now, because something might have happened. SO, I kept typing.

Around 4:00am, I gave up and parked on the couch for a bit, and began to watch Shanghai Noon, which is less stressful than work. Still no James.

Around 5:30am, I was gently shaken awake by James, who had finally JUST gotten home. ;p I fell asleep on the couch sometime after 4:30 while waiting for his silly ass. Fortunately, I was too tired at that point to be irritated with him, and I'm still not, because at least he came home unscathed. But damn, that was a long time to wait up.

I am SUCH a mom. -_-;;;;;

So, understandably, I woke up at 2pm today. I was supposed to be back on a normal sleep schedule, damnit! ARGH! ::falls over::

Anyways, I've already told Andre that I'm going to do work stuff from here today, because by the time I got over to the office, I wouldn't have much time before I'd have to leave again to avoid the creepy people who come out after dark when a girl is walking home alone in a poorly lit part of town.

Today might be a good day for Christmas cards. Hm! We'll see if I get my act together enough to go buy some.

Ah, progress.

So, I sat down and got workish stuff done earlier this afternoon. I will, in all probability, go downstairs and borrow Felicia's scanner later, and get even *more* workish stuff done then.

Then, post-5pm, I did some shopping. I got the Christmas cards I needed (although I neglected to buy stamps... d'oh) as well as wrapping paper, some necessary foodstuffs, and a couple gifts for people as well. I lucked out and found something neat for my aunt, when I hadn't really decided what to get her yet, and I also picked up the thingy I had in mind for James.

I was going to cross another gift off my list today as well, but all they had at Fred Meyer was a cheapo plastic version of what I had in mind, instead of the cool ones I'd seen, and the cool ones were completely out of stock!! Geh. But at least now I know how much it'll cost me, so that's good enough. I have a couple other places in mind where I could find them tomorrow or the next day.

I went here just now and submitted some names: Slippy, Splashy, and Squee. "Slippy" was me following Brad's lead, and the others were because I thought they were cute, and they start with "S" so you get that nice alliterative effect when you read "Splashy/Squee the SQL dolphin." I am easily amused, ja?

Anyhow, I'm back to doing... something. Haven't thought that far ahead, yet. Probably Christmas cards.

Special day!

Even though he doesn't have an LJ, I have to shout:

HAPPY BIRSDAY CORY!!!

You are truly wonderful, as a roommate, friend, and a person, and I hope you know that! I have always felt incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to know you and appreciate you in your infinite coolness. ;_;

Anyways, I've been doing Christmas cards, and I had pizza for dinner. SIGH. Looking back, I should have just made myself a salad, because I remember thinking about crisp lettuce and caesar dressing for most of the afternoon. But hey, when somebody offers you pizza (and *barbecue chicken* pizza at that :D), it's hard to say no. :)

I'm kind of tired, and that's probably a good thing. Maybe I'll be lucky, and fall asleep before I start feeling all crazy and awake again.
