I've got something of an idea for my self representational OC. If I can, I'm going to give it a try tonight.
Wednesday was a bit of a bad day for me. The folks were in one of those pissy moods, you know the type, one of those that makes 'em feel justified when they take it out on everybody but the actual person at fault. Needless to say, I woke up to yelling and as the day progressed, It started to rub off on me. The icing on my anger cake, however, was a conversation that went something like this:
Me: Hey, have they responded about the exercise bike yet? 
Mom: Sorry, but we can't afford it. 
Me: Why? 
Mom: We only have X amount of money...
Me: ... It's because the step dad blew twenty bucks on weed, right? 
Mom: Yeah... (Can't find the right emoticon.)
For lack of better terms: Like, What The Fuck?! What makes that idiot think he can waste much needed cash so selfishly/illegally? That bike would have benefited three of us while his crap is only for himself. Not to mention how rarely we buy such things/can find such things within our budget... Honestly, when he does crap like that, it's like he want's to get into a fight with me. He knows how much that crap pisses me off.
Angry and, well, angry, I practically attacked my exercise time. By the time I was finished, I couldn't move my arms much for about half an hour. I nearly cut myself, too. Anyway, I ended the night with some ice cream, tea, a boiling hot shower, pretty much anything to try and relax. However, I still wasn't able to get to sleep until early in the morning.
Yesterday was the day of the big storm. It was stormy the night before but it was throwing it down by the morning. The road was flooded and the hallway was suffering at the hands of a leaky ceiling. I pretty much spent the whole of that day doing general cleanup and maintenance. We also had some power outages, too. However, we we're lucky. The transformer across the road was hit by lightning, cutting off the power to some of the folks across the road (They're actually moving the damaged pole right now). So, I fixed things and babysat for the most part. However, thing's didn't go so well during the babysitting. The little brother has a new trick, he now falls face first from the table he usually climbs on. Yep, he landed right on top of his head, did a back roll and was crying his eyes out. So I ended up watching him for most of the day, making sure he didn't sleep/have a seizure since he wasn't bleeding or vomiting.
Well, due to some random act of kindness, the mom let me go around 3:30 so I could exercise while the sis watched him for once. So I went on my way, changed into my exercise shorts and such and began to stretch. I was about to start the second part of my warm up (30 minuets of rather fast paced fencing practice) when I noticed a "TONY!!!" cry in a panicking tone. So I took off my headphones and ran to the living room/kitchen. Turns out the brother had a mini seizure while the sis was feeding him (He fell asleep mid feed and started shaking his head rather violently for a couple of seconds before the sis woke him up with a slap) and they wanted me out again because I'm the mature one.
I ended up watching him for another hour before I was able to leave. However... The sis (eighteen years old, I might add) noticed me bouncing a ball on the back of my hand (it makes the brother laugh) and decided to demonstrate her "Taps" skill level, which ended with her knocking my glass on the floor... The glass went everywhere, of course.
So after an hour of cleaning up the glass with the mom I attempted to exercise again. Sadly, I wasn't in the mood by then and it was rather late so I ended up missing out. Worse still, I had small shards of glass in my feet. 
And yes, I didn't get much sleep that night, either.
Today was a little better than the other two, but was still crappy. I had to get up early and clean around before the monthly inspection and babysit (The brother woke up perfectly fine. He's a little smarter now, actually... 0.0 strange) I wasn't able to exercise today, either. Everyone "had somewhere to go" so I was left in the dust and had to babysit... I'm going to end the night with some tea and a shower. With any luck ill be able to get some sleep.
Bits and pieces that didn't make the post:
: I took some photos of the storm, ill put one up in the next post.
: Ants are invading my bedroom. My weapon of war, the hoover.
: I got some new headphones because my other ones are beginning to break.
Sorry if this one was a little long. Ill make it up to you by, uh? What would you accept as penance?
See you next time~

As of now, I am about five days into my Eighty Days of Reform plan... Strangely enough, it's working rather well. But first~
Monday was a typical day for me. I got up around seven and did chores most of the day. I managed to squeeze in close to two hours of exercise between the hustle and bustle, too. And of course, I did some laundry.
As night fell, I noticed something strange. For one thing, the sis's equally irritating friend was still here despite the late hour... She ended up staying the night, and they were loud... Meh, at least my fan drowned 'em out for the most part.
Strangely enough, I ended up getting a good night's sleep that night.
Oh, my Eighty Days of Reform plan? Well, it's like this: I was able to put together a good plan for general detox/insomnia ass kicking/getting healthier/more athletic. It involves getting up early, quite a bit of stretching, both green and honey vanilla chamomile teas, smarter exercise and some other junk. So far it's proven to be rather successful in beating my sleeping problems. However, it does have one potentially embarrassing side effect that involves heightened sensitivity and some rather strange back pain that leads to an uncontrollable and rather uke like? vocal outburst whenever I lay down... Well, you can't have the good without the potentially embarrassing and odd, right?
Well, Today was a bit abnormal. I woke up freezing and in a little pain, it was to such an extent that I ended up laying in for an hour. My chore load was somewhat smaller but my babysitting time was off the charts. It even effected my exercise time, limiting it to a little over 45 minuets. To make things more hectic, the little brother did his business during his bath... It was horrific... Worse still, I was the one who had to lift him out of the bath.
I'm going to end the night with a shower, some tea and some crappy TV.
Random bits and pieces that didn't make the post:
:I now prefer 2% over normal milk.
:That strawberry shampoo is truly wonderful~
:With any luck I should be getting an exercise bike tomorrow.
Until next time~

I pretty much feel like I'm out of energy, give or take a couple of joules.
On Thursday I decided that enough was enough with my recent bout of insomnia. So in an attempt to end it, I did everything I could to ware myself out... I spent the whole day doing chores and exercising, quite literally. I did push ups when the washer was a spinning and squats while babysitting. I even exercised for close to two hours non stop. And you know what? It worked 
I managed to get a decent night's sleep for once.
Friday was a rather strange day, I woke up more energetic than the day before. I did the usual chores and crap (The laundry never ends, I've done a load every day for the past two weeks ) I even managed to exercise, more or less. I wasn't taking any chances so I decided to go at it like a brit possessed. I was working up a good pace, too. I managed to do 25 back lifts in under fifteen seconds twice in a row when I heard a knocking at my door. Sure enough, it was the cousin, who wanted to "hang out" since his school had let out... So I stretched, packed away my yoga mat and turned on the TV so we could commence with this "hanging out" of his.
So there we were, watching Man V beast and making jokes about some thing or another. He eat and then he ran, leaving me somewhat free again. So I cleaned my room, took a shower as I usually do on a night and tried to get some sleep. It was less successful than the previous night but not as bad as the previous week, I couldn't grumble (Much).
Saturday was my day off, more or less. I went out and about, with some restrictions, of course. Since I have no friends in the local area and I don't completely know how to drive, I was basically tagging along with the parents. As you can imagine, there was little to no fun to be had. We went to a thrift store and bought some crap, then to walmart for some more crap. I managed to get some new, tighter tanks (My XL's are like some form of bed sheet on me now, so I opted for a pack of mediums. They fit wonderfully~) and some cleaning solution for my glasses. There was some cute eye candy, too. After we left the store, we went to another store and a yard sale were there was more eye candy... I'm beginning to think that I just live in a bad area and that all the cute, non drug using guys live elsewhere. I need a car/job/better place of residence. and then to DQ for some blizzards. I got a strawberry something or other (My first blizzard), it was pretty good. Messy, though.
When we got home I watched some films/did some chores and was generally in pain from the previous week's activities/exercising. I stayed up late and watched code geass before calling it a night. Amazingly, I had the best night's sleep I've had since, well, ever.
Today was full of chores. I pretty much cleaned and babysat for the first half of the day and exercised/did laundry/babysat/cleaned during the afternoon. The extra babysitting was due to the sis getting a lift off the folks to her girlfriend's house? Which, of course, increased my list of crap to do... I was pretty much out of energy by the six o'clock mark. I was groggy, too. Strangely so, I felt completely out of it. It faded a little after I eat, though. I'm still pretty drained, though... So after i type this up, I'm probably going to get a shower, probably try that new strawberry scented shampoo (Strawberry = bliss~) and call it an early night. Sorry to say, but I won't be commenting tonight. I just don't have the energy. Ill probably be on with more energy tomorrow.
Until then~

Today was a long day, but through it all I managed to find some time to exercise. With any luck, ill manage to get some sleep tonight, thus ending my recent spree of insomnia.
I also managed to take a somewhat decent picture of myself. I'm wearing my pajamas, thus the title.
I have bad hair... I need to clean that bathroom mirror, too. How the hell does toothpaste get on it? @.@
Yoji.
I've changed things up a little on this WORLD and I'm quite happy with the outcome. I should probably edit my intro, though... Meh, ill do it sooner or later.
The "draw an evil you" contest seems interesting, I might enter it. If anything, it's inspired me to finally draw an OC to represent myself.
I might start putting up photos of things on this WORLD.
And that's that~ Pretty much, anyway. I spent the day babysitting and doing laundry so- yeah. Nothing much to report.
Yoji.
