Who What Where

My name is Lynn, and I'm a 28 year old student, designer, and future art teacher from Charleston, South Carolina. Pizza makes me happy. Also, red wine, knitting, cleaning, good green, sunshine, and headshotting angry kids on XBL. I started this website in March of 2008 as a place for me to write a lot about nothing. It's where I share my opinions and vent my frustrations, both of which I have more than enough of. It's also cheaper than therapy. Want more?

Feb'10 Favorites and Recommendations

DateFriday, February 26, 2010 at 6:21PM in ,

For a really, really long time now, I have been meaning to put something on my about page, but I've just been so lazy about it. Probably because I'm just not big on the idea of some sort of autobiography, so instead I decided to combine it with something else I've been meaning to do for a while now: current favorites and recommendations.

I figured once a month would be the best way to do it, and finally getting some content on the about page would be as easy as copying and pasting the blog entries. Yeah, I cut corners. So what? Hopefully, if I stick to it, I'll be picking a favorite album, video game, TV show, movie, book, and website each month to recommend. Here's February's list.

Time Flies

DateTuesday, July 28, 2009 at 6:21PM in

Holy crap, it's been two weeks?! I wish I could explain away all that time, but I can't. I'm not really sure what I have been doing. I have a lot to do over the next week, but of course, I will always make time for XBL. I just hope the crazies stay away for a while because after this weekend, I don't think I can handle much more crazy.

So what happened? Let's just say that some weirdo started treating me like his online girlfriend after we played CoD4 for several hours straight one day. He then completely wigged out on me two days later for ignoring him and playing with someone else. He removed me as a friend, and then twenty-four hours later, he sent me a long apology and a friend request. DENIED. The long version is far more interesting, but I really don't feel like typing it all out right now.

Oh, and if you're a guy and I play online with you, apparently you're one of my "boy toys" now. Congratulations, or something.

Another One of Those Days

DateTuesday, July 14, 2009 at 8:26PM in

Again, here I am writing about boring crap just to write. Just like yesterday, today sucked. I feel like crap both mentally and physically. I slept in until about 1:30pm, about six hours later than usual, and ever since I have been sitting around waiting for the day to pass. Finally the sun is setting, so hopefully in a few hours I will be ready for bed. If my sleep schedule gets screwed up, I'm going to be pissed. 

Despite my mood, I still managed to get a couple things done today, but mostly I sat around playing CoD4 and watching a few TV episodes. (The new series Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime is really cute, by the way.) Unfortunately though, I had to do so on our old tiny TV because yesterday our 50" HDTV decided it wanted to be a brat and turn itself off over and over again, and the only suggested fix I could find online didn't work for me, even though it seemed to do the trick for everyone else. It looks like I am going to have to call Samsung, which I would have done today, but I didn't feel like bothering.

Hopefully whatever the issue is won't be expensive to fix. I don't know how much longer I can go straining my eyes to try and see if that's an enemy I'm shooting at or a palm tree. You have no idea how much ammunition I have wasted on inanimate objects since moving the Xbox upstairs to the loft. I can only hope playing under such circumstances will improve my skills. I won't get my hopes up, though.
