I should have gone to bed 3 hours ago. Meh.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m kicking myself mentally because I just majorly screwed up this KoL run (which I was trying to make a speed run so I could go farm crimbo). I spent around 60 turns at the pirate&#8217;s cove thinking I needed the dictionary, and getting frustrated that it wouldn&#8217;t drop. Then I realized that I had the Mt. McLargeHuge quest and *not* the chasm quest, and I was very sad for wasting 60 hco turns. Then, I got tons of RNG screwage. I spent around 40 turns trying to get the outfit for the mines. I got 4 pants and 3 helmets (as item drops) before finally getting the weapon. The ore I needed was the last one I came across. Then spent around 80 turns at the goatlet with +60% item drops. Encountered something like 12 dairy goats. Got exactly 2 cheese drops. Then I got the leaflet and got the bowling trophy instead of the stat code that I could have used to slightly lessen my screwups in this run.<br \/>\nSo much for having time to farm crimbo after hc :-\\ If I&#8217;m not done with this run by next weekend, I am dropping hc and oxy and farming the hell out of crimbotown anyway.<br \/>\nBah.<\/p>\n<p>Made tenative rules and cards for a Cluster card game today (instead of doing graphics homework).<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images\/matthewj.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/journal2.alanv.org\/images\/obj.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll finish it after this week is over. It seems fun enough (and a lot simpler than my other card games).<br \/>\nBah, I&#8217;m screwing up my grades so much by doing this. I&#8217;m not going to get graphics done and grargh why am I so stupid?<\/p>\n<p>Also, I can&#8217;t help but feel like I majorly screwed up with respect to my relationship. I don&#8217;t even know why, because it&#8217;s not like I did anything, much less anything *wrong*. I&#8217;m just feeling incredibly lonely and such&#8230; and I feel like I&#8217;m being too whiny and whingy about it and everything. I need to stop being so full of myself.<br \/>\nI guess it&#8217;s also the feeling that I&#8217;m not doing enough&#8230; that I need to be a better boyfriend.<br \/>\nBah.<\/p>\n<p>I screwed up peoples&#8217; LJ friends pages yesterday after upgrading WordPress (because it apparently extended the feed back 15 days instead of 7, causing old entries to all be republished to the syndicated account).<br \/>\nBah.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I still haven&#8217;t found time to buy Christmas presents for anyone. This is a very bad thing. I&#8217;m a horrible friend.<br \/>\nBah.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s see&#8230; in the past 48 hours I feel like I&#8217;ve screwed up classwork, KoL, relationship foo, LJ foo, friendship foo, and my sleep schedule.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nGod I feel like I&#8217;m screwing up everything in my life.<br \/>\nI should be asleep right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edit<\/strong>: Great&#8230; I woke up this morning, looked at the clock, and was like &#8220;SHIT IT&#8217;S 8:35!&#8221; Meh.
