I'm sooo sleepyyy... BUT I MUST STAY AWAKE! I really need to get my sleep schedule back on track, so I'm gonna try to stay awake AAALLLLLL day... and it probably won't work because whenever I try this I go into overdrive and end up not sleeping until the NEXT morning... But that won't work this time! Hahah! Take that subconscious! I need to drive for 10 hours on Saturday so your evil plan won't work!
I have resisted the temptation to block my mother's number from my cell, so I get the delightful/not-so-delightful news that my niece has been asking about me. Not so delightful because it was my mother telling me this so she could guilt me into coming within 100 miles of her, delightful because I miss both my niece and nephew terribly and I hardly get to see them, plus, I'll get to see them on neutral ground rather than at my mother's house. Still not as delightful as I'd like, but I guess I'll take what I can get.
Sadly though, each person I asked to go on this road trip with me, couldn't make it because they're all stupid adults and have jobs >:T So that means the only thing stopping me from decking my own mother, is the promise I made to myself to never cause her physical harm as I did that enough when she gave birth to me... that promise is feeling very vague to me though, so I'm thinking emotional and mental revenge is due...

SO, I'm going to attempt to stay awake by playing LOTS of video games and watching LOTS of Hulu and Netflix, and maybe even glancing at writing... and hopefully I can do it, because it's gonna be roughly a 5 hour drive down, and then back, which wouldn't be a problem because I could just stay at my actual residence which is only about 2 hours from where I'm going to see my niece and nephew, but I'm still not sure if I'm wanted there... still trying to suck it up and just ask my roommate what her deal is, and normally I would, but I don't want her to be mad at me, so I'll settle for not having confirmation. Instead I'm going to bribe her parents with fast food and a stop-and-go visit... which hopefully won't result in my giving up my key.....

AAAND last but not least, an update. I've been watching season 4 of White Collar, as it just came onto Netflix not long ago, and I finished the season, and I must say, it broke my heart and I totally wish I could punch some fictional characters in the face!!!
Also, I nudged forward ever so slightly in Final Fantasy 13-2, and I decided I don't care how much easier the new battle start system makes it to get preemptive strikes... I HATE IT. End of story. The stupid monsters come out of freaking NO WHERE every FIVE FLIPPING SECONDS. It makes it impossible to get anywhere, and you can't even turn around twice in a room in order to check it before you're facing 5 more monsters! I seriously made it past one checkpoint since I stopped earlier before I gave up again because I was about to punch my screen, and I was having serious levels of gamer-rage, which I usually am not too bad at, usually, if I'm alone, I just sit there quietly and clamp my jaw and bite my lip unconsciously, but I was full on into swearing levels, so yeah, it was bad.
Meanwhile, I decided I was going to stick to only moving forward one route/town at a time while playing Pokemon, and recently threw that out the window. It lasted for maybe a week haha, and it was only while I've been trying to level up to face Gym 4. Although I'm sticking with it for Diamond for now because it's difficult to play so many different games at once for me, and so by only moving forward one section at a time in at least one of those, is making it a little bit easier. I really need to get back into gear with Ni No Kuni though, I was getting pretty far then kinda just quit, so I should probably try to at least get through the graveyard level while I'm on this no sleep quest.

Well... this was a much longer post than planned... but probably the first not-as-negative one in a while, so I'ma taking it as a win (:
