I managed to stay off the computer until 10:30 today! I was reading my presents from Mrs. McQuarrie for winning the Geo. Challenge. I got an Atlas, a book about Natural Disasters, an Earth From Space calendar, a math kit and an Aero Chocolate bar. I consumed 42.0 grams of pure cocao in about... 3 minutes. Yowsa! Now that I'm finally into the SS Roleplaying I'm not as excited about it anymore. I still have to do 5 supervised RPs with Essi until I'm free to do it on my own, but that is going to take forever because we both have busy schedules and computer problems. 8pm is about the worst time possible for me (except for school hours and when I'm asleep). My family always goes out at those times or rents a movie or something. I'm expected to participate in family time and I would get a "No more computer" lecture if I went on the comp then. I feel guilty for not participating in the Knight RP, I don't have any excuses. I haven't even worked on my character except for his name, and I haven't done anything except register a handle. I planned to do a big rant today or have a thoughful post, but now I forget what I was going to write about.

After a loong time of trying to get it conncected I got Charlotte's Playstation to work. It didn't work when plugged into the VCR, then after heaving and shoving I managed to move the TV around so I could plug it into the back of it. Then I got the sound working but not the picture so more fiddling with of multicolored cables! Gah! But I finally got it to work and now I am happily playing Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone game! I am an incredibly unco-ordinated person when it comes to videogames, I stink at using controllers. I am the king of grace and experience on computers, but I absolutely suck on Playstation. Matt came over so I felt obligated to entertain him and he ended up totally hogging it. Then my Mom comes home and throws a fit because I forgot to turn the porch light on, I forgot to feed the dog (mainly because I was too busy with Matt) and because I told my sister to shut up when she was being annoying. Then I got sent to my room for 5 minutes and missed the beginning of dinner (that hasn't happened in a while!) and I got into a huge temper and was very pissed off and mad. Then we had to have a stupid 'family discussion' which I rolled my eyes all the way through, getting myself into more trouble of course. Basically all they said was that everybody has bad days and we need to know how to deal with them, and the usual recurring theme, "You've been on the computer too long! We have to limit your usage!". They got angry when I pointed out I was having a great day until they came home, which wasn't entirely true, but very funny in the situation. I had to miss RP-ing again because we watched The Rocketeer which was actually an interesting movie. I thought it was goign to be some stupid comic book sort of thing, but it ended up being about Nazis in WWII. Maggie uses the ramp now that she's home. She has her leg all shaved to the skin and there's this huge scar/cut where the incision has been sewn up.
