Things are looking up...

miss_ytWell, Benjamin has gotten over our little spat, so I can play DDR and Kingdom Hearts again. Still have to get the laptop thing figured out.
I spent much of the morning playing Kingdom Hearts (I'm ashamed of myself). This afternoon I did something a bit more worthwhile. I went to my friend Valerie's house and watched Shrek with her and her college friend Julia (who is apparently channeling the spirit of Gustav Maler - don't ask). Julia also put purple dye in Valerie's hair, mixing it with the teal green that was already in. The effect is pretty cool.
Later we went to the Montgomery Mall, where we watched Shrek 2 while we ate too much candy. It was better than I expected, and I quite enjoyed myself. I got Julia to read the first 3 issues of Ruse. Another addi- I mean convert!
I got an idea for how to do something in my Ruse fanfic, which is complicated and not for discussion here. Only my friend Rachel would understand how it differs from my original idea anyway. Speaking of fanfics, I got two new reviews today - one for my Batman Beyond fic, which I really appreciated, and one for my first Samurai Jack fic. The guy who wrote the second one didn't use proper spelling or grammar and wasn't sure if my narrator was a woman or not. I never really mention that in the story, but I do say she's a 'she' in the summary and nobody else had a problem. There are some real dodos on FF.net - and they write the bulk of the stories, it seems.
That virus/spyware/whatever that got on the computer is still there. We've been running the anti-spyware stuff on every profile, and it's still not gone. We need an exorcist or something. AOL is also being icky. I hate my online connection at home.
