So, once again I don't write for forever, and I don't think anyone has missed me, but I should write a bit just in case. I'm at school, but the computers won't let me log into my school e-mail, so there's really nothing I can do as far as homework goes, which sucks because I had hoped to get some done. Of course, there's nothing on the school's website about the e-mail being down, but I know others were saying that it wasn't working last night, either. I have no idea what goes on at this school. I mean, the tuition goes up every semester, but everything gets worse anyway. Teachers keep getting laid off, the wireless internet is no longer secure (which is stupid because I'm sure students use it to sign up for classes and pay school bills), the wireless internet is very hard to get if someone else next to you is using it and the e-mail server is always getting hacked into and spammed. In fact, that could be what happened to mine, in which case I will have to e-mail everyone I know to see if they can send stuff to my Gmail instead, though I don't remember giving my username and password of my URI e-mail out to anyone.
Not much has really gone on this past week. I don't think I talked much about Anime Boston in my last entry. I did have fun at it, I went to some voice actor panels, which are kind of silly, but they're fun to kill time. I went to eat in the packed food court at the Prudential Center, but there is honestly nothing to eat there that's any good. I also went to the Dealer's Room and got some cool manga, but I really do feel like I mentioned that before. I got Kodocha there, which I am currently watching now. It's an old show, about 14 years old, but it's very good. I'm kind of addicted to it, but you all know me.
I also went to this panel where this composer (who does the music for the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games) was there and you could ask him questions. It was interesting, though he had another panel just about composing, which I didn't get to go to. I also managed to go to a panel with my friend, but I think I mentioned that last time, too.
Anyway, I didn't sleep well the night after, and on Easter I was dragging. I dragged through most of the week, and even over into the weekend. I did managed to sleep yesterday, but I was up until 4 am last night and woke up at 10 am this morning, so you could say I lost all of that sleep again. I don't think I will sleep well until school is over. Who knows when that will be?
I'm working on a project for school that is due on Thursday, and I think I'm done with it. I imagine I will have to touch up on some things, but other than that, it's in good shape. I also managed to work on my string quartet today, but even that doesn't seem like it is going too well. When I looked over the juries for my Composition Recital, I noticed I barely passed, which was embarrassing. It kind of made me feel like I'm not a very good composer after all.
Lately I feel like I have really taken the easy way out with life. I can't be bothered to make new friends or even to talk to people I want to talk to, like L or Fakir. Actually, I haven't seen Fakir since before the rainstorm, since he had a concert last Thursday and didn't come to the one class I have with him. I ended up not being able to go to his concert because I had a skin doctor appointment. My hands are much better now, but I don't know if I even mentioned how bad they were before on here. There are still some patches where they are itchy and red, but overall, they are much better and easier to move.
I haven't even hung out with Nad or R lately. I wanted to hang out with Nad over the weekend, but between the project and a guitar concert I had on Sunday, I had no time. R has been so cold to me it actually kind of hurts. She only seems to call when she needs something, like last night. She was panicking, asking me how long it takes to get to Boston if you drive there. Well, I did drive, but I only went to Quincy and took the subway the rest of the way in. Driving directly into Boston is stupid, since there is so much traffic and odd, one way streets that you wouldn't know about unless you actually lived there.
You see, she is going to some concert by some band that I don't even listen to. She didn't even know where they were playing, so I told her to look it up. I don't mind looking up stuff for my Grandma, because she doesn't have a computer and can't afford the internet anyway. But R has a computer right in front of her, and she is always talking about getting another computer. She honestly can't use the one she has, I don't know why she would want another one. I mean, all you have to do is Google a band and their website should be the first thing that comes up. Then you click on the tour page and it tells you which venues they are playing at and when. Heck, they often link to the venue's website as well, which often has directions. She looks up other stuff all the time, I don't know why she couldn't do that.
Not to mention whenever we are supposed to hang out, she finds some way to derail it. Like last Tuesday, we were supposed to go up to Smithfield. She was supposed to call me when she was on her way home, so I could meet her there. She told me that her mother was taking her out in the morning, but she would be home around 12:30. I thought she would call me around 12, I would meet her there, we'd go walking for an hour, and then hang around the shopping area in Smithfield. I told her I had to leave for school around 4 though, so I had to get up there around 12:30-1. She calls me up at 1:30 and asks if I want to come over because she just got in, since the RIde van was late picking her up. She didn't mention that the van was picking her up, I have no idea why her mom couldn't just drive her home. So, since I wouldn't even get there until 2, I told her I couldn't hang out. Not to mention the time before when all she basically wanted to do was have me drive her to the mall.
Oh, and every time I tell her about something stupid I saw that was Twilight related, she has to go and defend it like it's the best book ever. I was watching this series of YouTube videos where this guy reads Twilight and makes fun of it. There's this part where it's a girl's choice dance, but all the guys keep asking Bella to ask them to the dance. I told her it was silly, since it was girl's choice (which is what the guy said, too). She's like "Well, Bella was new, so they had to ask her.", which seemed silly to me. Not to mention all the other things, like how the characters are plain and boring. She takes that book so damn seriously, it makes no sense. Honestly, I like things like Bleach, and you know what? That manga can be really dumb sometimes, and I will admit it. I still enjoy it, but I know there have been times where I questioned why. I don't like it when someone refuses to admit there are flaws in something, because everything is flawed.
Anyway, all I can say is, I think the friendship between R and I is almost over. She wants to do something for her birthday, which was two weeks from yesterday. I'm going to a concert the night before, so I'll probably be super tired, but I did tell her I would do something, so I should. Still, she gave away the copy of Princess Tutu I gave her for Christmas, so I honestly don't want to get her another gift. She even tried to lie about it and say that she let a friend borrow it to see if said friend's kids would like it. I bet you she never gets it back because the "friend" liked it. More like, it's sitting in the used aisle at the Smithfield FYE. I was very tempted to make a mark in it or something, that way if I saw it in a used bin around there, I would know it was the one I gave her. Luckily, it's not a popular show, so if I go there, I would be able to tell that the used one there is one she sold back to them. It just hurts that she didn't like my gift, and she should've told me so I could've returned it and gotten my money back. I'll probably just get her a gift card to Barnes and Noble, they sell Bibles, right? (She told me she wants to get rid of ALL her stuff, except Twilight, of course, because she wants to be closer to God). I'm sorry, but that attitude angers me, if God doesn't accept you because you enjoy watching The Office, then that is one petty God. I could understand if you had hardcore porn or something, but not the kind of stuff that airs on national TV.
Anyway, I have to eat before class. I just needed to write again and get that stuff off of my chest. Things are changing for me, and I don't think I like much of it. Bye.-*Duck*
