The idea is that Apple systems just kind of ‘do it’ without all the prompting that windows needs. Not here - the ethernet connection I’m using right now, when plugged into the Powerbook, won’t do a thing. It’s the biggest pain in the ass ever.
I keep on switching the cables over, expecting some light to turn on, some onscreen prompt to pop up and tell me in a campy airline-pilot sort of way “We have a connection!”
But no; nothing happens and I’m stuck here twiddling my thumbs wondering what the hell is going on. The computer realises there’s a connection there, it even tells me that the ethernet port is working, but then helpfully informs me that because of a DHCP issue (or something like that) there ‘might not’ be a connection. This doesn’t help me all that much as I can’t find a way to resolve it, and don’t feel like there’s much I can do - especially since the other computer is working just fine.
Eugh, I don’t know where to go.
“IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN LOOK HERE”
Alaina’s created a little summary of what we/she did this summer, keeping everything very abstract. She just mentioned the news everyone wants to hear - she’s about to start her period again soon. Great, wonderful news.
Anyway, my roundup will come a little later, when I can use my own PC, but hopefully it’ll be just as innderesting.
I’m off to Portland now, with lots of money in my account, ready to transfer money to Alaina’s account when I buy the computer.

And I’m only just beginning the game!
I will save money on rip-off laptops.
And I’ll have fun doing it.
Whilst making the most disgusting concoction of left-in-the-fridge vegetables into a meal this evening, I managed to BURN BURN BURN my finger on a pot of brown rice.
One handle=cold; second handle=white hot.
Oh my god it hurts. Whilst watching Six Feet Under tonight I had to refill my cup full of ice three times. Arrrrgh.
Speaking of which… Planned parenthood t-shirts anyone?

Because it never works
As shown by the fact that we did not in fact make it so Vancouver. Nowhere had a room - the best option for the four of us was a Best Western hole that would have cost $200 for one night. In a Best Western.
Those places are shit.
So we watched Queer as Folk in bed together instead, making out to the stupidity unfolding before us, as opposed to the real thing as we’d have seen in Canada.
But is Celebrities nightclub good? I can’t tell - I need information which isn’t some shitty site….
Argh.
World give me news
And I haven’t been able to stop missing them. I miss him, and I miss her. I want them both. Then both should be here.
I don’t know what I’m doing without them. I’ve been with her for a month and I can’t get over not being around each other now. I’ve been around him for two days and the withdrawal is just as intense. I lay in bed, feeling out of place because I don’t have another person next to me, laying there for me to roll over and sleep with.
I’ll have been sitting out on the mountain, surrounded by the beauty of life, and unable to even laugh at the sight of the bear we’d just encountered, the mountain goats we’d seen, the amazing flowers found no-where else in the world; I’ll be thinking about him, wanting to find him, thinking up schemes for how we can be together.
It really sucks.
I just talked to him, and can hardly hide the twinkle in my eye.
I walk back into the room and feel a new person; rather than one burdened by the cares of the world, someone who can roll with the challenges and enjoy life all the same. My stereotyping is complete, but I’m happy with it all the same, I have no reason to hide it.
She said that after I talked to him, he started doing a ‘booty dance’ whilst she was still on the phone; I love him for that - it’s what I’d do if I were free.
We just went through the car wash. I attended the even in my pajamas. Now my pajama bottoms are wet because A doesn’t like to aim her “super power jet crazy washing hose” away from me, but seems to aim it at me.
Hence the wetness. There’s nothing I can do but accept my fate of being a wet little gay boy, though at times I can appear strong, can appear decisive and can impress myself! …all through the hilarity and craziness.
