Well, Larry’s visit went rather well, except for the tiny fact that the tablet and scanner drivers are still in alpha. ::shrug:: So, no matter what he did, it refused to work. Larry says “I tried to compile 5 times, but it kept barfing all over the code.”, to which I almost fell off of the couch laughing at. I got the funniest mental image of a cartoon computer throwing up code, little random symbols and letters bouncing all over the place. But besides not getting it to work, it was a good visit. He and I talked a little about how things are, for each of us. He sounds like he’s doing a bit better, like things are a little easier. He and I talked a fair bit about the whole destiny/meant for each other thing, and he said something like “Things like that tend to take your choice out of the matter.” and I was like “Finally! That’s what I’ve been telling you for the past two years!” I felt for a long time that he was so sure that I’d come around.. wake up one morning to the realization that I’d been wrong all this time, or that John was really brainwashing me with my diet coke or something else equally unlikely. It really took MY choices and my feelings out of it. It made me lacking in the intelligence needed to make up my own mind. My mind is the most important thing that makes me ME, and when you take that away, I’m just another girl, like every other one out there. It’s as if I’ll start dressing the same as everyone else and needing 5 other girls with me every time I need to take a piss. It was nice to know he understood. So, I’ll be re-installing Windows 2000 later tonight when I get home. Yay because I’ll have a working tablet and scanner, Photoshop and opencanvas.. Nay because Linux hasn’t crashed on me once. I also have to a bit to do with the page. The random picture needs to go back up, and I also have to figure out how to archive monthly with this thing. I want to put July over to the right with the rest of the archives, in case someone wants to go with a timeline. I want to be able to redesign more than the colors, but I need to figure out how. Every time I mess with the code, it fucks up the page and nothing but a white screen loads.
In other topics, I had a really odd dream last night. I dreamed that I got pregnant, and John said “Lets get married!” so I’m like “okay” and he goes “I’ll go get my tux from the car.” and I’m like “TONIGHT??” He says “sure!” and runs off. Here I am like “wtf?”.. I’m wandering around looking at all the guests (who just happened to be there with us, because we were at a fair) and dresses, wondering what I’ll do for a dress tonight. I spot john and ask him “Hon, are you sure you want to do this tonight?” he looks at me, looks at himself and says “uh.. some time to plan would be a good idea, no?” I’m like “YES.. Good idea!” The end gets a little vague. All I remember is that I was trying to fly in a really tight dress and pair of pants, but I couldn’t go over people because they’d be able to see up my dress/pants or something.
