Gah. I just can't seem to get myself to post in this thing. I forget about it and just don't really enjoy posting here. This seems like a failed experiment. So - sorry, but I don't think I'll be posting here much more. Not that anyone reads it anyway, and I don't blame them. :P
I guess I'll post when I have something to post about, which may be never. We'll see.

I've played Everquest 2 for a bit lately. A friend introduced me to it. The game is pretty nice, and I like it better than WoW (which I tried during its beta phase). My friend rarely plays with me though.. So I created a character on another server, a RP server. It's pretty full of people. Hopefully I'll find more people to play with there. Maybe a guild?
Set up my laptop on my desk. Found a program (synergy) that i can use to control the laptop with the keyboard/mouse connected to my main computer. It's pretty awsome. I now use the laptop for IRC/MSN/Trillian, while xfire/skype/winamp/opera/games is on the main one. Need winamp there 'cause my headphones are plugged into it, same with skype, and xfire cause it logs the games. I can now also shutoff my desktop at night - no more sleeping with noisy fans! Now my laptop can do the irc logging/downloading/whatever.
So, in other news. My mom's forcing me outside for three hours a day. I have a feeling I'll spend alot of time going for walks. Long walks.. And I'll prolly go see a few movies. I don't really think this is the way to get me to go outside though, I think something that we both agreed on would work better. But nothing to do about it I guess. I'll prolly see alot of movies.
Been a bit depressed lately though. And bored. Maybe it'll go away if I meet someone fun to play with on the RP EQ2 server. Or when I start school this fall. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for that. :p

| Eek, audition |
[May. 12th, 2005|11:24 pm] |
Yeppers, had my audition today. I think it went alright. At least I was definately more prepared for it this time than last year.. The people watching me didn't show any specific responses though, which they did last year. I'm not gonna focus too much on that though, it's prolly just because I had different people judging me this time. I played through the pieces fairly well. Did a mistake on the Bach piece though, but ah well. Nothing to do about that now.
The theory test was a bit harder than I had expected (yes, even if I have taken it once before), but I think I managed to go through it without too much problems.
Now I just have to wait. I won't get any response from the school until in the middle of july. Yay. Sigh.

I am bored! GW has been out for a while now. It's pretty neat. Not always that easy to find good groups though, but I haven't had that much problems yet. Most of the problem is finding PvE groups, seing that I'm kinda far in the game now (southern shiverpeaks). Most people are much further behind.
ATM, I'm just waiting to see if I can find a spot on a tombs team anywhere. I might get lucky.
Eh, other news, my audution is next thursday. Creepy. Finished my last piano session with my teacher.. I think it'll work out fine. It must do, if not I'm without school next year. :o That would suck. Hopefully I won't end up in that situation. Probably won't. I've got no other alternative, heh. Yeah.. It'll work. It must. Haven't attended school in ages.
I'm tired. I want sugar. I really, really want sugar. Bleeh. Is this ever going to stop? :P
Oh, and I made "official" channel manager of #gwlounge today. Been managing the channel for like half a year already, but now I'm listed on the staff list, and I've got moderator access on the forums. Pretty neat.
Eh, that's it.

Oh, uh, I kinda forgot about this journal. Let's see.. Well, the GW BWE came and went, that was alright, did some good amount of PvP. The game will release in two days, and people with preorders (me being one of them) will get to start playing tomorrow. Tomorrow is also one of my older brother's 26ths birthday however, so I won't be able to play -that- much. :P
Lately I've been playing some Rise of Nations, but it's hard to get people to play with me. I can't stand playing against the AI, heh.
When I woke up today, I felt for the first time this year my pollen allergy. I'll have to start to take the medication again. I should prolly take one of the pills really soon, before I even think of going outside. Not that I ever go outside, but hey..
I've not been to school for quite some time now. I'm staying home, practising for my audition, and reading some music theory. Well, I'm -going to- read some music theory.. Just not, eh, right now. :o
I'm thinking of maybe applying for a.. uh.. "folkehøyskole" as an alternative next year, if I don't get into the shcool. I met my old teacher from 10th grade while at a mall, and she suggested it. Not a bad idea.
Ah. My ISP just decided they wanted to double my speed, without extra pricing. Some time after 1st june my connection will go from 2000/256 to 4000/400. Nice. I just wonder how long it's going to take them to do that though, they said it will at least be done this year. We'll see what happens..
Just spoke to mom, she wants me cleaning my littles brothers old room (I'm maybe getting that room aswell as this one). That might take some time, but I should just get started on it, I think. I'll do it.. later. Not now. :o

Gawd, what's this about? At the dinner table I talk about this thing in an ironic manner (can't remember what it was exactly), then mom hits me with "Well, with an attitude like that, no wonder you've got no friends". I mean, geeze.. How's that supposed to help with anything, other than to piss me off? Just straightout flaming me like that, and then I'm supposedly not allowed to be upset about her saying that afterwards? Parents seem useless sometimes..

My headphones are broken. One of the small wires inside the cord has been broken for some time now, but duct-tape fixed that. Earlier tonight however, the sound on one ear went away again. While trying to fix it, i ripped the cord apart.. I got it together again and got some sound, but it went away really fast. I'm gonna try cutting off more of the isolation tomorrow, and I'm gonna need some electric tape. Currently got music only on my left year.. Bah.

| School sucks. :o |
[Apr. 5th, 2005|11:42 pm] |
I'm sick of school. As I mentioned before, my grades this year don't matter, so I'm completely out of motivation. We're having an incredibly dull project about advertising etc too, that doesn't really help. Tomorrow, that's all my class is gonna work with. Bleh. I think I'll just stay home.. But, staying home isn't that nice either. First of all it's very, very boring and repetitive, second my mom doesn't like that either. I do agree with her, it's nice to have something to do when I'm not gonna attend school all that much, I dunno what though.
I try to show up at school for a couple of hours every day, however.. Just not tomorrow. No interesting classes tomorrow. Thursday is PE though, I always try to attend the PE classes. If I don't, I think I'm gonna end up as a vedgetable. I might already be that, tho. :o My back hurts alot when I've been standing for a while, and when I carry heavy things. It's not good.. I could do with some exercise. I just, blergh, can't stand it. I hope it won't turn out to be really bad, though. I try to do small things to keep it from becoming worse - I try to avoid sitting down while on the bus, I often walk instead of take the bus if it's nearby, and I really try to work out well when I'm doing PE about once a week.
So, I'll stay home tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to convince mom that it's just for that one day, seing that the classes are just.. Unbearable. I'll prolly spend my day practising for the audution, I guess. At least then I'm doing something constructive. She also requires me to get up at 9am every morning, I don't really mind that though. It's probably for the best, if not I might get screwed up and have a hard time managing a good sleeping pattern next year (not gonna happen, but it sounds like common sense, at least she's happy that way).
About the audition.. I've been practising alot lately. At least, I see it that way. Once a day - I don't usually practise that much. Doing improvising on the jazz ballad, getting in the last page on the Bach piece, and started to look at the two last ones (both jazz stuff). I now have about two weeks to get all of those four songs, at least three, in reasonable shape. It's gonna be hard work, but I think I'll make it. I really want to get into that school next year..
Hmm.. I always seem to want to write down what's going on in my virtual/gaming world, I'm gonna make a separated place for that I think. I'll call it "PC Stuff".
PC Stuff:
---------------------------
Tried Far Cry COOP today. Actually, I tried it a few days ago, but it wouldn't work on my copy of the game. So, today, I went out and bought(yeah, bought) the game with a friend of mine (split the price). Then the COOP mod worked, but it wasn't really that fun. The mod is in alpha, and still has a ton of bugs. Errors with spawnpoints, everyone has the same player model, vehicles desyncs all the time, etc etc.
My friend borrowed my laptop while sitting in another room. He was sitting in the closet in the room, heh. It looked fun. :o It's my little brother's old room, and I just happened to have a network cable going through the wall and in there. Seemed like a nice place for him to sit. We communicate through Ventrilo even though we're on the same floor in the same house.. It beats yelling, though. We've done that alot, driving the entire neighbourhood crazy. "WOW, DID YOU SEE THAT AWESOME HEADSHOT?! ... WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I'VE GOT MY HEADPHONES ON!" ..Then again, it was prolly a bit more fun that way, hehe.
I think that's enough writing for today, young man! *slaps himself*

| I have invincible teeth |
[Mar. 31st, 2005|01:02 pm] |
Visisted the dentist today.. As I said before, I'm horrible at dental hygiene. I really, really expected my teeth to be, well, rotten or something. Turns out however that I had no holes or anything, and my teeth are in a great condition. It was like this when I last visited the dentist two years ago too, and let's just say my dental hygiene wasn't any better back then either. So, I've decided that my teeth are invincible. I wonder if I could sell them on ebay..
I tried to wash my jacket today, even though it says dry cleaning only. It turned out okay, that's good. It's nice to have a bit lighter jacket now that it starts to get warmer outside.. Yesh. Lately, it's been almost summer weather here. It just switched over from full winter in just a couple of days. Makes me think it's gonna be a horribly warm summer. *shrudder*
Today I also visited my old school and got my, er, scooter certificate(?). Need it to practise driving cars though, it's required now.. Everyone who is going to practise driving need a theoretical course about traffic etc, but my scooter cert covers it. Got to talk to some of the teachers on the school etc, that was nice. That place never seems to change, heh.
Got some more contact with an old friend of mine, he's been coming over here regularly for the last few days. I think I mentioned him earlier.. Haven't seen him for half a year or so. He seems to be very busy with his girlfriend though, apparantly she is bossing him around. :o
It's my sister's birthday this weekend, and I'm going to her birthday party/dinner/thing. She'll be.. Err... 33? 34? 35? Something like that. I can't remember. I probably should remember, though. :o
Well, that's it for today.

| Spring break |
[Mar. 25th, 2005|04:37 pm] |
Mmm, haven't been to school for the last week. Spring break. The GW BWE ended, and I got into more fun pvp action later that night (was kinda expecting that, it's how it usually is). Had a fun time doing tombs with n0, tried out some crazy nature ritual builds, etc. I hope we will be able to put up more organised PvP teams for the next BWE. Quite a few people seem interested in it, actually.
Little bro has been really acting up lately, and he almost screwed up our plans for board games yesterday, we had to quit mid-game, etc. That wasn't any fun. Apparantly, the whole world is against him, etc etc. It annoys the hell out of me.
In other news, I've soon finished learning the second page of my Bach piece, and I'm almost done with the jazz ballad. Both songs are for my audition into the music school later this year, middle of may or something. Just need to get the improvisation on the ballad optimized.. Then there's another song I'm sposed to learn 'til friday. That might be hard, but it doesn't seem too bad. I'll probably manage it.
Then there's PC stuff.. I've started playing Far Cry, and so far it seems great. I have this stupid, stupid sound delay, though. All sounds are delayed with over half a second. Now that's annoying. Still, it's a good game, with great graphics.
Well, that's all I can think of atm.
