*sigh*

And now for a little update. Let's see...

Yesterday I hate long time friend, Caitlin over with with her sister Erinn which was cool. We watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame, End of an Era, Made in Hong Kong and listened to my old CDs and such for fun. Caitlin forgot to bring Black Symphony but that was okay because we can always watch it some other time because I'm not dying to see it, but it'll be pretty cool when I do. And then I waited until midday to call Jono and ask what was happening with the Criss Angel videos I'd taken up to him.

See, I'd downloaded a few episodes of Criss Angel and can't burn them on mine or Mum's laptop because we don't have burners in our laptops, only readers. I couldn't do it on the house computer because even though it has a burner, the computer couldn't handle the file size of the videos and kept shutting down the folder that the videos were in and refused to play the videos themselves. So that was out. I managed to transfer said videos onto my sister Stacey's thumbdrive and would have burned them on her laptop because her's is practically brand new and swanky, etc, but she went to her fiances and took the damn thing with her. She refused to let me use it. By that point I was getting a bit annoyed. I'd spent about a week trying to figure out how I was going to get the series on a DVD before Saturday to show Caitlin and her sister and it was Friday by that point. So I resorted to drastic measures; Jonothan.

He was home from his little trip to Newcastle or wherever to pick up a car and I understood that he needed some rest. I took a blank DVD over and the videos, gave them to him and he said that he'd do them for me and come around at 10 am ish to give them to me before heading off to the LAN in Bathurst for the day. I was cool with that {rather pleased actually} and happily listened to him blabbing on about his computer and how DVDs and Blue Ray discs work for about an hour and didn't complain once when Vanessa sat a very fussy, hungry and heavy nephew on my lap to have there for about 2 hours {I don't mind cuddling Theo but if he's squirming, trying to get away and is screaming because he's hungry or hot or whatever, I don't like holding him because I'm terrified I'll drop him or something if he jerks around - I'm not exactly the nimblest person alive}. I also stressed the point to both Jonothan and Vanessa that the DVD was only really vital for Saturday, which was why I was bothering and running around like a chicken without a head. So I got a lift home with Jono, he showed me some Weird Al songs which was cool. I went to bed feeling pretty pleased with myself and missing Erica already.

Woke up at 6 am {I had Mum poke me awake}, messaged Erica a few times to try and cheer myself up and put myself in a good mood, cleaned up the house, got ready and greeted the girls with a smile. By the time 10 am came around, I was buzzing and waiting curiously. 10 am came and went...so did 11 am...by the time it hit midday I decided to ring to see if Jonothan forgot. To my surprise, he answered the phone instead of Vanessa. It was midday and he hadn't left for the LAN yet. I was somewhat relieved and suspicious but said nothing of it, assuming he was probably still burning my DVD and he'd be on his way very, very soon. This is kind of how the convo went.

N: Oh, hey Jono *smiles*

J: *bored as Hell sort of tone* Hey

N: I thought you'd be at the LAN by now or you'd forgotten me or something *laughs*

J: No...I didn't get to finish the DVD last night so it'll probably get to you Monday

N: O...oh...*face falls dramatically* Okay then...

J: So yeah...see ya

N: Yeah...see ya...thanks...

*hang up*

The DVD would have taken a few hours to do. I left their house at like 6 pm ish. It would have been done LONG before he went to bed if he really wanted to do it or did it as he said he would. My bet is he dropped me home, went back to the house, had dinner then sat around on his fat ass watching a movie for the rest of the night, went to bed to get up for the LAN or whatever, decided to go to it late instead and pack up his and Thomas' computer to go to it, leaving Vanessa at home with Theo for like...the 3rd or 4th day in a ROW, while simultaneously knowing he'd disappoint his soon to be sister in law, but who gives a fuck about that because a geeky computer nerd meet up is so so SO much more important then doing something nice for your fiancee's sister who happens to *have* held a lot of respect up for you up until that point. Blah...

I tried to make the best of the rest of the day, pushed aside the fact that I'd been disappointed and lost myself in Nightwish, which did help. Once again, I owe my sanity to Erica and Tuomas Holopainen. People wonder why I love them both with all my heart.

Which leads me to my other point of why I'm a little bummed out right now. Because MSN sucks and didn't tell me I even had a text from her, I think I've upset Erica and I miss her like crazy. Like...really, really, REALLY miss her. I just...want to talk to her right now...the one person I know who never disappoints me
