Updated some links, and blogger is still being an ass with updates...
Hrmmmm ... Today, I got up from bed at around 5 pm .. no good. *groan* ... had a pretty bad headache earlier, but it's better now. Still not completely free from it, though... ... meh, mostly just writing this entry so I can check blogger's updating stuff ... not all that much to tell otherwise, I think ... or at least not in the mood.

Hum ... Today would've been Elise and Huib's 1-year anniversary, if they hadn't broken up some months ago. I wonder if they even noticed, Elise didn't bring it up in last night's conversation. Egh, oh well. I really don't think there's that much to say about it. Just that next week last year was a very weird one for me. (Happy-depressed-whatever. Crazy) Oh well ...
... I remember writing about their half-year anniversary. DANG ! I have this weblog for over half a year already !? ... Whoa ... Time sure flies.
Gerko stays up all night playing Metroid - twice
Well, I did it again. I think my sleeping schedule currently is as messed up is it has ever been, if not more.
But first, let me try and catch up with last week. I'm working again. Still at my dad's place, but it's ok. Got some stuff to do now, even though it's hardly interesting. (sorting and archiving some papers and stuff) I'm definatly sprouting doubts as to wether this is going to pay for that trip to the US, thouhg. At this rate (not working for two weeks, and stuff) I have just enough for rent and food. And that's also assuming my Dad will continue to pay my travelling expenses. Oh, sure, I'm hardly in financial problems, I have reserves ... but still, it was supposed to go up instead of down. ... That's what I get for not doing anything, I suppose. Oh well.
In brighter news, I finally recieved a letter from June. My first letter in years. Silly girl sent it by air mail, so I got it in about 4 days or so. Post stamp said november 19th, and I think it arrived here the 22nd or 23rd. It's the third letter she wrote me, and I should be getting the second one this week, as she sent it to Elise's addy, since she misplaced mine before. As to what happened to the first letter is still a mystery. I blame to postal companies. ... I'm somewhat scared of writing a letter back, though. I have 0 (zero) experience with writing 'real' letters. (not counting the handfull of fake letters you had to write in school) ... But I promised a couple of months ago that I'd write back, so I will ... *gulp*
Now, back to the header. I think I'm quickly on my way turning into a drooling Metroid fan-boy. Metroid, for those who aren't aware, is one of Nintendo's first-part franchises. Although, I suppose, not as well-known as, say, Mario, or the Legend of Zelda, it still has quite a fan-base. The original Metroid for the NES, and the Super Nintendo version, are still heralded as some of the greatest games ever. And now, 8(!) years later, Nintendo comes up and brings back the Metroid franchise, not with just one, but two games. One for the GameBoy Advance, and one for the Gamecube.
Having greatly enjoyed Super Metroid, and reading up on some info on the new GBA Metroid : Fusion, I became aware that it was available already on-line, as a ROM, and that there were people out there playing it who didn't pay for it. So, last thursday late evening, I turned evil, and did the same. With little trouble, I downloaded a copy from the KaZaA network, together with an emulator. I was about an hour of play away from completing the game when I decided it was high time to go to work that friday. Oops. I ended up being awake for 34 hours before I slept again. (Oops) ... But you'd better think twice if you think I learned from that ... Because last night, I pulled the same stunt again. I got the Metroid II : Return of Samus-rom (for 'normal' GameBoy) working on this PC at home-home, and stayed up all night playing that. (And finished it, too) So, today, I hit the sack at around 11:30 am, and got up some seven hours later.
Bad Gerko. Tee-Hee ...
But at least I'm doing 'something', even though my mom seems to think "playing games" doesn't count.

Nope, still not feeling any better. ... Worse, even. ... *grmbls* ... bleagh. I'm all irritable and stuff. And I've still been unable to wake up at any normal time. Also, I'm cold. Might have a temperature or whatever ...
~sigh~
Oh well ... I'm just tired ...

Bleagh ....
A whole week of doing nothing, with about the most horrible sleeping schedule imaginable. (Although I guess Doug still has me beaten every now and then)
To make it worse, just now that I was planning to set it all straight again, I caught a cold. A bad one ...
Aaaaaaaaargh !
~sigh~ ... Oh well, all I really need to do is just shut up and do something ...
but I'm not ... =/

*yawns* ... it's late.
Gonna hit the sack in a minute or so, just wanted to let you know I care about you. I really do. All of you.
Heh. Maybe a bit too much, even. Gotta learn to carry myself first.
*smiles*
