Yay for direct deposit.
I got a deposit slip in the mail today telling me my paycheck will be deposited in my account tomorrow. This comes as a large relief to me as I was worried I might lack funds for the upcoming convention and lan party. According to the pay dates I should be well set for the con.
Last night I met a goon on xfire and played some UT. I kinda sucked at first, but soon discovered I was most talented in defense on the CTF maps I played. Lots of people give SA a bad rap since there's a LOT of ignorant douchebags who have not just unpopular but inappropriate opinions, however they're good people to game with. I've never met a griefer from SA.
I'm at work now, "maintaining" a barely occupied computer lab. By "maintaining" I mean "waisting time by making LJ entries". It's very quiet and relaxed right now and the peacefulness is enjoyable.
I'll be meeting sarahtheboring. I discovered her when I was browsing the users of the Tekkoshocon forum and found someone in the same town as me. She's worried I'm going to have some kind of expectation, but frankly, I have no idea what I'm even supposed to expect aside from some local girl who likes anime and games. I'm just interested in meeting like-minded people I guess.
I'm also really happy for my sweetheart. Jessa might be getting one of her stories published, and if that happens, it means some wonderful things for her. I'm proud of her already, since I think her writing is wonderful, but if she can get paid for her work, i'll be even prouder. I keep telling her to write more, but sometimes it tends to come off as nagging, and that's one of my bad qualities. I'm persistent to a fault.
EDIT: sarahtheboring is quite poorly titled. I had a blast BS-ing with her. I talked about anime and video games, and then when telling her about my japanese friend who likes to cosplay sans-shirt, I took her to the children's section of B&N to find a Miffy book. It took a while to find, but I found the most INNAPROPIATE book for the children's section. And then I bought it. It was an "it's happy bunny" book called "Life. Get One." and it's the most wrong thing I've ever picked up. Wrong enough to own. I made sure the lady who keeps the children's section got those books out of there and put it in the teen section where it belongs. The problem with society isn't violent movies, music or videogames. It's that booksellers put ITS HAPPY BUNNY in the children's section.
