Old friend(s)

Tomorrow is when I finally go in for my first day at my new job, assuming my body doesn't betray me and cause me to sleep in. I plan to go to sleep at, say, 9pm just to be positive I can't sleep in too late. I need to be ready to go before 6am, because, I've found that if I leave at 6:30 the bus won't get to the site until 7:56. The bus system irritates me right now.
Seeing as I can't afford to be late, this means I have to leave at 6am, and I'll be getting at the site at 7:17am. I was told they don't open until 7:30, so I hope I can entertain myself for long enough before I go in search of the room I need to be in.
Better to be cautious than sorry, I suppose. I doubt I can get to the room in 4 minutes, let alone find it since I haven't been to the site before. I'd rather be looked at weirdly for being there 45 minutes ahead of time than be fired for not even showing up to my training on time. Though maybe being early earns me theoretical merit points in the mind of my employers, so it can't be a complete loss.

Anyways, job shit aside, I somehow managed to get convinced to be fed by Amber, a friend of mine from back in high school from Academic Decathlon, who was looking for an excuse to cook apparently. I don't even remember how the conversation turned in that direction. I remember it started with her poking me over IM, and eventually she's offering to cook food for me. I think I may have mentioned that I was eating ramen in mid-conversation, but I'm not sure.
She'd thought to invite Matt, but apparently he couldn't come. So Amber and I hung out a bit, talking about things...old friends, new friends, what's happening in our lives...We ended up eating some hamburgers by the way. Much better than ramen, I must say. Then we spent several hours channel-surfing the cable TV and looking through some webcomics together. No wait. We looked through the webcomics before food. I showed her pics of Kitiy and some other nifty things on my laptop.
All I really have to say after that fact is that it's nice to meet up with old friends just for the hell of it. And now back to your regularly-scheduled blogging.

It's sad that I already miss playing WoW, when I only had a 10-day trial. It just goes to show that Blizzard really knows how to make a game perfectly addictive to the point of physical need (seriously). I've tried logging into my old Flyff account to merely pass the time, and it just doesn't fill the void. I was going to dabble in Rappelz, since I already have it installed and have never used it, but I got waylaid by Kitiy's demands before I could even start. Ah well. I think once I get started on this new job, and thus get some income, I'll set up a WoW account. Joy.

I recently felt the urge to check up on my old favorite MMO, City of Heroes, which my laptop doesn't want to even run. It's been a couple months, so I figured maybe some update somewhere would now allow me to play. Sadly, I was wrong. I went and posted a new thread in their forums asking for help on this, as I did months earlier, and I'm pretty much seeing that it will get me nowhere, but I may as well play along to see what happens. At the very least, it can be an outlet of frustration.
I went to laptopvideo2go and tried installing their latest drivers with the modified INFs. I tried several of them before I realized I won't be getting anywhere with it.
This frustrates me especially since CoX has been through two major updates (they're now on I10) since I last played. Granted, they were just about to release I9 before I got my new laptop and I had these problems, but that's still two major updates.

So...I guess there isn't really that much to talk about then, after all? Me with my random blurbing on about MMOs and stuff going on in my life.
Well...hmm, it seems Kitiy has a fever at the moment, so she's feeling unfortunately miserable. It's times like these that I wish I could be up there with here to help her through this...even if the best I could do is chicken soup. But, for now, we'll both have to deal with our lives as best as we can.

Well, yeah, not anything else for me to talk about. I'll fill you guys in on how tomorrow goes, at least, and hopefully the next couple of weeks will go smoothly for me. Wish me luck and all, because I probably need it with my poor sleeping habits.
