Hey, good night folks! It's been such a freakin' long while, I barely recognized the place! Hehe! Damn 12 days without updating. That hurts! I missed y'all so much y'know! Ah me sweeties!!! *hugs air* I used the last two weeks to relax a bit. No more late homework, no more unprepared exams! Now that's the real life! Yup, the real life with a 35-hours job... I couldn't relax a lot as I somehow managed to get hired to build a database for some kind of charity association, Moisson Mauricie. I say that because two weeks ago I didn't have a damn idea of what a database what. Well, yea, I did know, but what the hell are we supposed to do with that? So, lately, I spent most of my time reading books and asking newbie questions on development boards. Eh! I did manage to make something good though. I had to take their old messy data files made with Excel (wtf!) and convert them in Access format while reorganizing hte data. Sonuds pretty fun huh? Well I'm slowly getting used to Access, but my books aren't that excellent. So I've got seven weeks to become a pro and spit out a kickass database from nothing. And I do mean nothing. My employers don't even knownwhat a database is, and they know even less what they can do with one. Damn, it's as if they want one because it's some kind of fashion. Y'know the hot wired business thing. But how do you want me to explain them what they can do? *sighs* They don't even know what they want! Argh! Well it didn't take me too long to get back to my old habits and piss off at nothing! *looks at time* Doh! ALready too late! I gotta get some sleep, as I couldn't find much this weekend. That's because my friend brought his PC and wired it to my two others. And it was awesome! We played games like in no other LAN before! And... y'know... it kicked ass, like. Anyway. Hey it seems like you didn't miss me as much as I missed ya; I didn't receive a single e-mail, damnit! *snif snif* Nobody loves me! Still, people actually do come around as that lil number on the counter never stops rising... Bah! And what the hell... I could babble all night long, but who cares! I'm gone! G'night all!

Whoa, I'm so excited! I'm running and jumping and tumbling everywhere... I must get rid of the extra energy y'know! I finally got my new pc yesterday (Athlon Tbird 1.33 256 Mb SDRAM 40.7 Gb Maxtor Asus 7700 GeForce2 GTS 64 Mb DDR). YEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAW!!! It's friggin' lightning-fast man! I didn't time it, but I'm sure it takes less than 20 seconds for Win98 se to boot!

...

Alright I'm back, there was someone at the door. So what was I saying? Oh yea, my pc! Well that's it... It kicks ass!!!!! The first thing I did after installing the basic software is getting Tribes 2 up and running. After all, I did buy that pc to play that game! :D Well, lemme tell ya it's hallucinating. It ran perfectly smoothly in 1024x768 at max detail. Oh, there was no sound however. Yup, believe it or not, those damn dumbasses forgot to put my soundcard in. *shrugs* I sent them an e-mail to ground them a bit, so I guess I'll get it someday. Anyway, with graphics and gameplay like Tribes2, sound is almost an option. It still was awesome y'know.

I'm currently waiting for Partition Magic to finish splitting my drive in smaller parts. Lemme tell ya that creating 25 Gb partitions is kinda longer than skinning a quadraplegic hamster. In 15 minutes it's up to 17%... *sighs* I'm so eager to try out my split cable connection. I bought two 5-meter long RJ45 cables and one 8-meter long one (to make sure we can take advantage of the four plugs on my router in the next LAN... :D). So I'm waiting for that thing to finish, and if the router does its job, we'll be able to connect the whole LAN to the net via my connection! Argh, I can't wait to play UO, Unreal or whatever with some friends simultaneously on tha net, and all this from the same room. *jiggles* Imagine playing Unreal CTF or Tribes2 while communicating in real time and with real voice! Well I think I'll jump around a bit more now. C ya later!

* Runs away and leaps on the walls like a madman, casting a demented smile *

	*some time later* Woohoo! I now officially am a Mario Party 2 Superstar!! As a bonus, I'm entitled to enter a new name for the MP2 wesite! I wanted to play UO, but the mini-games you find beyond the last link are so much more entertaining! ;D ... Grrrr... WTF permission denied?! I want to enter my title!!! Stupid crappy java script rip-off!!! I spent all those precious minutes playing those silly games for nothing?! Hmph!! grumbles and goes to bed 10/06/01 Hi folks! I know, 1:20 am is a pretty lame hour to be online. But I really had to tell ya I'm still alive and I'm still almost happy. :) Did you know that Mario Party 3 was pretty fun to play with a bunch of friends? Of course you did. But now, did you know that it was even funnier after sipping two-thirds of a 1.18L of Sangrila Tornado? Heh? Actually I guess it'd do the same with any kind of alcohol. The game in itself is already quite exciting to play in multiplayer, but it's an even greater challenge with reduced faculties, lemme tell ya! :D Well, fater dose words of wifdom, I'm ouda here. I need a good night o' sleep. See yaz! 05/06/01 As far as I'm concerned, I'm having the greatest time of my life! Well, I think!... I have a wonderful girlfriend who loves me, jobs are plentiful, and I'll soon have my new computer. What else could I need? Better marks at school? Aye, perhaps, but I'm satisfied with them anyway. Theoritically I could almost say that I'm happy. But that damn stress is killing me. There must be something wrong in that stupid brain of mine. HellooOOooooOO!? Everything's okay out there! I-should-be-hap-py!! HelloOOOO?? sighs No answer. Bah well, I can't have everything. shrugs But all in all, I may even risk myself as to say I'm enjoying this life... for now, at least! 04/06/01 I've been thinking about all that for a week, and I became tired of this insane anxiety. No more silly questions. I stopped thinking and I listened to my heart, what I'm feeling inside without worrying about the future. I do have strong feelings for her, I can't deny it. And, rationnally thinking, there's no doubt she has everything I'd ever want in a girl. So what's the problem, I ask to myself. I totally went for it, and I do think I made the right decision. Yea, I made the right decision. I'm feeling whole again when I'm with her, and I feel torn apart when I'm not. I guess that's love, isn't it? Besides, I think that if I really love someone, I'd be willing to give my life away for her. And that totally is the case here. I'd sacrifice my life anytime to save hers. I'd do anything to make her happier. I need to have someone I can devote my life to. I wished to have someone I could make happy. And I found that person again. Yet, I always have this feeling of anxiety, of uncertainty, the one that stings and tears my entrails. It's awful. I don't know what it is, but it's getting unbearable! Not long ago, I just wanted to huddle in a corner and be left alone. Now all I want is to get lost in my love's arms, hidden away from every little real world difficulty... I feel so weak and cowardly! The mere thought of an upcoming challenge makes me go crazy. And this is really baaaad, y'know. Anyway, this is another story. I'll have to do something 'bout that someday. But right now, all that's important is to care for my tite ch�rie!
