Episode 10: Petty Arguements

I'm now declaring that I'm writing this blog as though none of family, including my mum, is reading this. Just a warning, though - not much is going to change. Figured I should say that, however.

I absolutely love it when my mum and Dana, my quasi-stepfather, argue. Now, most people would say, "Why Seth, that's a horrible thing to say!", but, in all truth, you just have to be here to know how funny the stuff they argue about is!

Sometimes they argue about cleaning up the back porch. Here's some dialogue for you!

[Dana] *hastily cleaning the kitchen with spazmotic movements as far as the eye can see*
[Mum] Can you please clean when I'm done eating - your stressing me out.
[Dana] If I don't do it now, it won't be done later.
[Mum] I'll do it later.
[Dana] You're not GOING to do it later.
[Mum] Just stop cleaning.
[Dana] HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A WOMAN THAT ASKS A MAN TO STOP CLEANING?
[Mum] HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A MAN THAT QUESTIONS A WOMAN WHEN HE'S ASKED TO STOP CLEANING?

The altercation goes on for a little bit, with mindless rambling, until they both finally stop. I'm just sitting in front of the computer of which is oddly located in the living room at the moment, reading n00bs talk about how they can't seem to get the Zodiac Spear, and laughing away, at both the n00b's stupidity and the humourous conflict.

Hey Sanjuro, if you are still reading this blog, click here! I lied, he's not really a gay samurai!

You all stay classy! I have nothing else to say - goodbye world!

Episode 9: Just Wrong...

So, I'm sitting in front of the computer, playing some Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions on my PSP, listening to the .hack//SIGN soundtrack. Then, suddenly, I get an IM from a friend, of whom will be called Aerith as to protect her identity.

[Aerith] hey...
[Kait] Hey, what's up?
[Aerith] guess what
[Aerith] ciara died
[Kait] *chokes on ice cube in his cup of water* Say what?!
[Kait] You are a lier! I don't believe you!
[Aerith] ive been sobbing for the past couple of hours
[Kait] Oh...
[Kait] Wait, seriously?!

I then call Aerith, of whom genuinely sounds upset. I'm slightly convinced, but don't forget that I have a Gullibility stat of 7, or I'm not that convinced.

[Kait] Proof please.
[Aerith] C:\Documents and Settings\aerith\My Documents\My Pictures\scarrrry video! 008.jpg
[Aerith] copy and paste it in the ionternet

Now this part makes me laugh hard when I look back at it.
First of all, who the heck saves a 'scarrrry video' as a jpeg?!
Second of all, how the hell am I supposed to see something saved on your computer on the internet - it's not like it's on a personal server, noob.
Lastly, I love how Aerith mispells 'internet'. I always though she knew better...

[Kait] Er... how am I supposed to access this stuff?
[Aerith] nevermind
[Kait] My god, I feel like such an a--hole - and to think the last thing I said to her is "What color is my shirt"
[Kait] XD
[Kait] So... how am I supposed to see these pictures.
[Kait] You could email them to me.
[Kait] caitsithiii@gmail.com

I wait 3 minutes. No response. I run downstairs to the kitchen and grab a can of Healing Potion, then take a swig of it - I forgot to restore my health earlier after a minor injury from football. I then dash back to the computer, and...

[Aerith] http://i36.tinypic.com/4ru8o3.jpg
[Aerith] don't click that
[Kait] ...
[Kait] ...er, what?
[Aerith] never mind just forget i said anything
[Aerith] okay?
[Kait] Was that?
[Aerith] just...you can't tell anyone
[Kait] I truly can't believe that.
[Aerith] her family is....just you can
[Aerith] cant
[Kait] Alrighty.

This also cracks me up. Who the hell takes a picture of their dead friend?! WTF?! And, she couldn't have made it any more obvious that the so-called 'blood' was actually ketchup. And the way she talks in the IM - my god, just spit it out already! This isn't Final Fantasy, you don't need to be so secretive! >_<

[Aerith] so..
[Aerith] just don't tell teachers or anything in school
[Kait] So...
[Aerith] nobody ohkay?
[Aerith] keep quiet
[Kait] Sure thing.
[Aerith] her family doesn't want to makwe it a big deal
[Kait] Nothing will ever be mentioned about it.
[Kait] And big deal?
[Aerith] ohkay
[Kait] It will show up in the d--m newspaper!
[Kait] And why'd you tell me, of all people, this?
[Aerith] she was murdered in our neighbors yard are you kidding me
[Aerith] because i just needed to tell someone
[Kait] ...
[Kait] Oh.
[Kait] I see...
[Aerith] it wont be in the papers...her mom didn't want it
[Aerith] the cops were told not to tell pplz
[Kait] Alrighty.

Wow. Just wow. It would have shown up in the newspaper, for god's sake! It might not have mentioned name - but the public needs to be informed somehow! Their could be a serial killer roaming around somewhere!

Anyway... the conversation goes on for 30 minutes, with me questioning all the way and having no plot advancement whatsoever.

I then get a phone call... I answer the phone.

[Kait] Aloha.
[Aerith] Guess what?!
[Kait] What now?
[Aerith] I lied - it's a Halloween joke.
[Kait] Wow.
[Aerith] Did you believe me?
[Kait] Only a bit - that was very unrealistic. You fail.
[Aerith] Bye.
[Kait] Wait, what? Don't go ye-

She hangs up. I put away my phone, somewhat amused. I walk down to the kitchen and grab another can of Healing Potion. I didn't really need it - but I was quite thirsty.
