I installed WAMP server on my PC and have been playing with phpBB3 forum software on my own. It's really comprehensive to be free. I'm hoping to get us a website again one day. Still studying about how to get more members. If I can ever get over my fears in FFXI, I'd like to create a new linkshell and see if we can get new members in that way. I just want more for us, I'm scared that we're not gonna last another 10 years. Things are OK here. Granny is feeling better. I wish I was, my arthritis is giving me grief, due to colder temperatures. I feel like I'm 60. I'm gonna try to get a new PSP for my birthday. I really miss that thing, it is hands down, my favorite console ever made. It's just so incredibly awesome. Too bad I accidentally stepped on my old one.

I hate Nickelback! Grroorrwwwoooollll!
The weekend is here. Last weekend was kind of a bust. Spent too much time out shopping with mother, not enough time doing anything fun. This weekend I hope to just sit at home and maybe watch some movies or play some games. I don't want to go out at all and I certainly don't want to do anything productive. Sometimes I like doing stuff on the weekend and going out. Sometimes I just don't want to do anything at all. And this is one of those weekends.

So interesting thing. I was sitting in my living room floor last night playing Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition with a friend in Pennsylvania. We were chatting over bluetooth just talking about random things while we fought each other. Bryce was in the recliner to my right.
A little before 11pm I heard what I thought was a large construction vehicle driving down the street. I turned to bryce to complain and thats when the whole house just jolted. Everything started shaking like crazy!
We had a freaking 5.6 earthquake here in Stupid Oklahoma. WTF? I most definitely do NOT like earthquakes. My friend was like wtf is going on as I'm trying to get up off the floor. I tell him we are having an earthquake and he starts freaking out. It was kind of funny but not at the same time. Oh well. Just wanted to share. =P

its weird to have the clocks roll back in November. Did you roll your clocks back? It was nice to get extra sleep.
My friend Chakoteh (vikki) from FFXI is coming again this year to visit while my hubby is out deer hunting. She is a laugh riot and so funny. I have never met anyone who is as wild as I am in public. She has asked to adopt me as her little sister, and I accepted. Since my own sister seems to have no use for me other than a whining post when things are not going her way. Begged about how important I am to her and then never calls again. BAH! Ive had it with families. I will keep 2 from the crowed. Tim and Steph. I refuse to let go of Steph, no matter who says what about it. The rest of them well...I tried my best, and it wasnt good enough and I refuse to spend the rest of my life paying for imaginary mistakes or misdeeds. Im moving on and I got loads of room in the truck.
As for starting a new shell, the new WW or PheynixRising shell is basically new. All of the old timers are pretty much gone. there was some in fighting, and some head banging and Chakoteh and I up and kicked out 99% of the damn shell. We have just started to repopulate the thing, and would love to see your shining faces. We are a social shell, and do NOT fight over gear, gil or BS. We dont allow bullies, bastards, or bitches to roam the halls. Its pretty quiet, but we have a growth starting of folks that are quite helpful, really friendly and quiet. oh dear god, I love the quiet. There was some jerk running around talking about slapping bitches, and I just said NO! and bounced him. he would shut up! so, I think steph would really enjoy the new flavor of WW. Its been really slow going to evaluate folks before we pearl them, and we have been really firm about cutting the BS. Enough with the bullies. Go away now!
its warming up today I think I will get outside.

First off... earthquakes in Oklahoma is straight up crazy. I'd be scared shitless, though North Carolina has had a few earthquakes now and then too.
Don't worry Dej, I'm happy to use your linkshell, it gives me others to talk to when Ryan and Mark aren't online. Eventually though, I want something of my own, but that's a long ways off. It's in the spirit of keeping the community alive, essentially. I just do not want to see our community die, and I'm worrying that it might in coming years.

Geez, Kik. Glad you're okay, man. I thought you were going to say that giant vehicle bulldozed into your home. But an earthquake is fuckin creepy too. So, in Norfy land, I'm soooo bored. I can't stand weekends anymore. There just isn't anything to do. I'm not gaming as much as it doesn't satisfy me like it used to. I planned on firing up FFXI over the weekend but just couldn't do it. Its not that particular game that I don't wanna play its WoW as well. And Digital Devil Saga. I'm just not in the mood for games. I need to be getting out and doing....something. I don't know what but just SOMETHING! I can't stand just staying cooped up at home letting time waste away. Sad thing is though is that winter is approaching so its not like I can really go out and do anything. I'm sinking into a depression here. I want something to occupy my mind so I don't become even more depressed. I've been thinking, there's a restaurant/bar near my place called Brewsters (they sell AMAZING beer) and I might apply for a weekend job there. If I'm gonna be bored might as well make some money while I'm at it. And it will at the very least, get me out of the house and doing something so I won't go stir crazy.

Said a little prayer for ya kik. Glad you are ok.
My iphone 4s started acting all wild and crazy. The voice assistant starting not understanding what I was saying, and the I got no sound on phone calls thru the speaker, but apps use the speaker, so I know the apps are not broken. Even with assistant turned off phone calls have no receiver sound, must use Speaker, or headset. Then the battery is draining like a dragon on fire. After several go rounds with verizon and apple, they took the phone in for repairs, but apple said they will probably just replace it. Unofficially there are tons of folks with the same issue, and no one can figure it out, while Apple remains silent. UGH! I asked for a loaner phone to use while mine is repaired, and it put a $900 hold on my credit card. Then I got this scary report about how if its out of warranty repair it would cost me X and if I have illegal soft ware it will cost me X and so on. Shheesh! a 3 day old phone should break! Glad I got the insurance.
Crazy weather here. sunny and 70 yesterday, gonna snow tomorrow. Vik is arriving in time for a snow storm! hahaha. The alabama girl will be freekin freezin!
My son got a second job, well, a third actually. I had a talk with him about not being able to stay here forever. While I was happy to help him thru his recent break up and fall out, and get his foundation back under his feet, he needs his own place, and his own things, and his own house rules to live by. So, come march I told him he needs to find a place. HE is really shoving away the money and is so excited to be on his own, free, and without a g/f for the first time in a long time. Come and go as he pleases, and can leave his shoes on or off if he pleases. I am glad he is excited about being with himself, and not upset that he will be alone. I knew it would go either way. This will do amazing things for his self esteem.
ugh, need to go get groceries. I hate that place.

I'm wanting to do the same as your son. Get my own place too. I'm 26, almost 27, and still living with mommy. I am saving like crazy to put a down payment on a home. It might take a couple of years to get the money but I have it in my head that I want to do it and it is a goal. So it will happen. Like you said, it will be good to live by my own rules. And one thing I plan on doing when I live on my own is buying paper plates. I don't like doing dishes so I'll just use disposable paper plates. My home, my rules. ;D
I will get real cutlery though. Trying to pierce through food with those little plastic, dixie forks and knives is a hassle. XD

Apple replaced my iphone with a brand new one. Found they could easily replicate the issues I was having and more, and determined it to be a hardware issue. The new phone is issue free, and I have made Siri dance! The digital assistant is wonderful. "call Blue Bird restaurant in Winchester, NH" and zip...she calls it! I dont have to look it up, or nothing! "play music" and she gives me a mix" or "play my walking mix" and she plays the songs I listen to while I walk. LOVE IT! Im so happy that the new phone isnt broke.
Vik arrives today at 6:30. She called a couple of times. She is in Charlotte airport right now, and quite road weary. Something about airports will just knock it out of ya. I cant wait to see her. The whole house is shook up because Frank is leaving to hunt, Vikki is arriving and before frank leaves Vik and I are running away to Maine for a few days, and the boy got a 2nd job and it working weird hours. The cats have no idea what to think. I plugged in one of those pheromone things so they will stay calm.
Its snowing...again...its always snowing here. sigh.

I had a consultation at Lasik MD today. It took about three hours. It was pretty interesting stuff. I have an appointment setup for the 24th of this month. I'll have to take a few days off work. Once you get the procedure done you need time to recover. I can't wait. I'll finally be free of glasses forever. ;D
