I knew the peace and prosperity wouldn't last.

Today was a busy day for me, me spending the majority of the day on the computer doing my major overhaul of my forum, and doing computer maintenance. Woke at 11:30, and pretty much had the house to myself--only my cousin Sarah was here. Had a steak and cheese sandwich for brunch, and spent the next 4 hours on the comp. Then the adults came home. Not bad. Then the kids came home, and their usual business being kids adds a small bit of stress, but not bad. Then Rob comes back from the mall with Jen, baby Adam, Jen's friend and her kid. Now we have 15 people in the house, and the two babies screaming quickly shoot up my stress level. Adding to that is the fact that Jen's friend's baby kept wanting to pull the wires out of the laptop and was drooling everywhere. The babies screaming, in turn get the dogs barking. Now I'm getting a headache and getting royally pissed, although I'm trying very hard not to show it. When Jen, her friend, and the two babies left, I breathed a major sigh of relief. I've decided. I'm not having kids until I'm 95, or I exercise the pacts I made. Whatever comes first. I retired to my hole in the ground--my room, the basement, to keep doing my computer work without the hustle and bustle. So I called April and was on the phone with her for a while, and even then got interrupted when little Mikey picked up and requested the phone, as did the other children--a queue was forming for phone use, so I had to give it up. Then my sis gets me pissed off--she thought because I carry a lighter on me, I'm downstairs smoking pot with Rob. Very insulted and pissed was I. She knows me better than that, and thinking that of me got me very pissed. I wanted to take that lighter and burn her for thinking such a stupid thing about me. Rob even commended me for resisting pot after he got home from work.

I've been here almost 3 weeks...I knew the relative peace wouldn't last. However, after retiring to the basement, being alone, I talked to April, and that helped me to relax a little. Now I sit here, pretty much calm and relaxed, but bored out of my mind. Tonight may be the earliest I go to bed in a while, since none of the usual night owls are online--Bri, Sarah, Nick, April, and others.

And more good news: April and I have been together one month! And another: this week marks the 2 year anniversary of my forum! Two years ago, I started the Realm of the Fantasy and the Evil. Today, that name changed to Into the LifeStream. Funny thing...I didn't know that it was the 2 year mark until tonight.

Anyway, it looks like Chrono Trigger will advance to the final round--tomorrow, FF7 vs. SSBM! Go to www.gamefaqs.com and vote! Now, off to the relative comforts of my room.

Nighty night, all.
