Reality
Well, I've come to the stark realisation that I'm going to be crucified when my school report gets here. Thinking about it though, it doesn't seem all that bad, I may only fail two classes, but it still isn't very good. I may not fail biology though, if my assignment was accepted (which I handed in around.. 7 weeks too late.. hehe) and I got more than 75% on it, then that would get me up to a C. That isn't including the exam, and I think I did pretty well in the exam, which wasn't all that hard. Chemistry I'm quite sure I failed. I didn't do some major assignment (which I think was brought up way too late. It was suppose to have been done on the last week when I should be studying for math). Hopefully I didn't fail. But they are the two classes I don't know my marks (to an extent). I know I didn't fail math, english, history or legal. I'm quite sure I'd be getting a 16+ for legal and history, I wasn't too sure about english though, but ms pikoulos said that I was passing, and math, I was getting an 11, but that is what I get for not studying, or doing nothing in class. Maybe those marks are telling me something? Should I go onto something to do with english, history and legal (which really have everything to do with english) seeing as I was passing those with ease. Or maybe I'd be passing everything if I actually studied and not just bummed around in class. Maybe paying attention to the teacher and writing down notes (I managed to bum around and write down all the notes from every class, I just never read them) helps when I'm at school.
So after what I did earlier this morning, activating half life 2 and all, I was extremely prepared and set to play a whole day of half life 2. Well I went down just before lunch to start playing, and guess what. The fuck still wasn't ready to play in offline mode. Fuck I was pissed off. I wasted all last night downloading drivers and spending probably half an hour to "activate" the bastard. I was like.. grr.. it wasn't a very pretty sight. Because dad had taken the modem, I had to resort to dialup to activate it again. I wasn't hard-pressed to set dialup back up again, but it was the fact that it registers on ozemail as a dialup connection (it always does, but that is for every 24 hours), and this one would show up as an hour between 11-12 downloading about 10MB. Well, initially I thought I'd be on there for a few minutes. It started off being a minute, up until it had decrypted files, and it decided that there was an update to take place. DAMNIT, I was hoping that this update would only be like.. readme files or something. But no! It had to be updates that would take over half an hour (on dialup mind you) to download. Well fuck that. Dad is sure to notice an hour of dialup activity when he decides to check the usage. So I had to force myself to cancel the update and I disconnected. Yes, that's right. PITY ME. I was forced to wait another.. about another 6 hours to play half life 2. Damn it more to the depths of hell. I think I spent the rest of the day listening to music loud and playing some half life (I had to prepare myself :-P).
Speaking of music, I never knew how loud my music was full blast. I had some LAB4 playing while I doing something outside (I think I was getting the letters, or something to do with walking to the front gate and coming back only moments later). Before I go on, my room faces the street, not a direct view of the driveway (that was my old room), but a slighty skewed view, so only I can see people, and they can't see me. I could still hear the music (and the bass mind you) from outside of my room, down a whole level. WEE! This was the first time I turned it up loud and happened to be outside listening to it. Gosh! I really felt sorry for the silly wogs across the road from us that turn their tv up at about 3 in the morning. Oh wait, no I don't! I wasn't too game in walking out any further to see whether you could hear it clearly anywhere else. But still, I think that is an accomplishment from four speakers and a sub. Go go my amp.
I had to wait for ever for dad to come home tonight though. Normally he would be home around 5:30 to 6, today he decides to turn up around 6:40. What the fuck mister? So the instant he walked in the door, I was like, where the hell is the modem! What would have taken over half an hour on dialup, took like a minute on dsl. Thank god for fast internet. So I was running half life: source by 7. That was only to see what the original game was like on the new engine, it didn't look too different, but then again, I was only playing it for like half a second before I quit and started to play some half life 2. From how much I played before we went to get dinner (which was a whole 5 minutes worth) it owned. I could pick up bottles and all. I found it quite enjoyable. A five year wait (well, not including the 6 hours I had to wait for the internet) was paid off by 5 minutes of game play. I'm going to have more fun (that is if I can play it offline) tomorrow when I actually play it. I should get 5.1 setup for the computer downstairs, so I can play in a perfect atmosphere.
The time that I did get to play half life 2 was cut short by not only me having to go and get dinner, but the fact that jordan had a whine while I was in the shower about not being able to have a go. What the fuck bitch? Not being able to have a go? I WASN'T ON THERE SINCE YOU GOT HOME (I was too busy mentally hurrying my dad up). Then of course dad got on the opposite side that I was on, and said that I was on there all afternoon and even when he got hom. I think I lost it at that point, and kind of said that jordan had all afternoon to play and she didn't, and that I wasn't on there when he got home and that I was sitting (more like laying down) on the lounge chair (well.. it is called a lounge chair) watching tv. Of course my outburst pissed him off because I was right, and so he said for me to go down and "turn the thing off" so that neither of us could play. Well fuck him. I kind of did that, didn't speak to him for the rest of the night. I did made them eat my loud playing of half life: opposing force. So you can imagine at around 9:30 at night loud gunfire coming from my room. Hehe. Serves the fuckers right for not letting me play some half life 2.
Well, I have nothing else left to do and seeing it is nearing tomorrow (and the fact that my mouse has been on charge for about an hour already), I'm going to sleep.
