My day hasn't been half bad. It still wasn't great mind, but it hasn't been anywhere near as bad as it has the last few days.
The weekend sucked and some of this week absolutely blows. Though today wasn't as bad as the others. I guess I can be happy about that at least.
I figured out the problem with my laptop.... It's the battery, it needs to be out of its bay when using the computer, why that is I have no idea, but there you have it. I also think that when the computer is off, the computer takes power from the battery in order to power the built in clock on the motherboard, because I've had to reset the clock in the BIOS twice now and I'm sure I'll have to do so again the next time I turn on this computer.
Todays motherboards have built-in batteries that keep the BIOS clock running on the board, I dunno when those built-in batteries run out or anything like that, but they do last quite a while. I am at least a little bit happy that the laptop is working to some degree. However, it is and will be a pain in the ass to have to reset the onboard clock all the time.
Note to self, have to make sure I don't hang out with Newfie John all the time.
I've been hanging out with him since Sunday, he's really starting to get on my nerves. Tonight he's all hammered up and he gets way too loud. I really thought someone was going to punch him right in the head with how he was carrying on. Even I wanted to throttle him once or twice. I'm glad that he's asleep right now, I can get a break from him.
I have exactly one rolling paper left, this is going to be a fun time for me the next couple of days, I have no money in which to buy some more and I also have no tobacco, which I think I've mentioned. So unless I can somehow get some money together to buy rolling papers, I'm gonna have it hard the next few days.... Yay, what fun it's going to be....
Last night I was rereading what I'd wrote in my Vampyre Prophecies story, I was reading the jrnl file I'd written and like a friend of mine had said, I realised that yeah it needs a little more work. I'd called it jrnl because it's where Job is reading his counterparts journal and I don't know where exactly it'll come into place within the story as I've yet to write that in. It'll be in the latter half of the story as well.
I have to work on the incident that happens between Job's counterpart and his teacher Miss Williams.... Let's just say it's a little riske. Now I don't want to make it anywhere near pornographic or even erotic, but what I'd written, I admit was not all that detailed. I'll figure it out. I'm sure it can't be THAT hard. I am a writer afterall.
Another friend also said I should work on Job giving a little more reaction towards Christina when they first meet and so forth. I'd always planned to put more detail in with it anyway, so my friends comment on it shows I need a bit more on that as well. Which is all fine and good, I appreciate the feed back anyone gives me on writing this story. So it's all good.
I've mentioned this story in other entries before, so some may know what I'm refering to and then there are others who don't and I've only sent what I have for the story to three people, so therefore naturally, there are other people who have no idea what I'm on about at all. Which is fine I guess.
Also speaking of the story, I've been thinking about adding some more to the story that happens before I introduce Job and th other characters.... Sort of a few weeks or months before he crosses over from the mirror universe to our universe. It'll basically introduce the religious sect who are out to kill "the drinker of blood" because they've misinterpreted the prophecy regarding him and thinking he is out to destroy mankind and also to introduce a character who has been waiting for Job in this universe for centuries and he will be Job's ally, of course it isn't discovered until book II and this ally is also a vampyre as well and for a major twist it turns out that Job's ally is the creator of the villian of the series Eve. That, however, isn't found out until later in the series. Not book I or book II though.... I dunno when, could be book III or IV or maybe even later than that. I've not figured it all out yet.
Anyhow, my moods the last week can maybe be best described in this poem I wrote ten years ago, it's very dark and depressing. The poem itself isn't about anyone, when I wrote it I wasn't directing my anger towards any person, this was just how I was feeling and so I wrote it in the sense that you see here. The emotion of the peom is what I've been feeling and the words themselves are just me being metaphorical.
My Death With a Vengence
My blood flows slowly through my slashed wrists;
The pain and my death is all I have left.
But you couldn't care about my anguish, my sorrow,
I'd spit in your face if you told me that you cared....
I fell for it once, though never will I fall for it again.
You twist everything, you taint everything you touch;
Just as you tainted me.
This is my end, my release.
I shall never return....... I curse anything and everything.
As my blood pours out of me, I am feeling great joy,
For my death is the only thing that will give me happiness.
I despise the day I ever met you;
Do not come to me with your tear-filled eye........
For I hath reject thee!
You are an abomination to my person, to my soul.
I burn with a vengence only known to me,
And I will destroy your lot within time.
Do not think you will have me,
I will not even allow you to grieve my death.
I laugh in your face for all that you are.
So just get the HELL away from me!
Now I will die in peace.
