Dryer Sheets and Fans

My room was starting to smell weird for some reason, probably because of the clothes on the floor, or because I always keep the door shut. I thought up something funny about 2 days ago. I have this fan I keep running a lot in my room now, I went into the laundry room and grabbed a dryer sheet out of the cupboard in there and stuck it on the back of my fan. The problem solved in less than 30 seconds, in fact my room still smells good. :)

I don’t really remember writing about this before  but, I’ve had this thing for Mulan lately. I always feel like watching it. I find it sort of amusing, not to long ago it was Lion King. I love the first and the second one. I don’t know what it is that gets me stuck randomly on movies like that it’s mysterious.

I’ve been thinking about how much I’ve been wining to myself lately about the state of my life. I know the truth is it’s my fault I got here, not anyone else’s I really wish I had tried a bit harder when I was in school, and learned how to transport myself a little better. I know I could have done that but I was so lazy back then. I still have a lack of motivation I need to get rid of but it’s not as bad as it was years back. I am now 21 and I know I need to just face my fears somehow and go out into the world.

Weird night for me last night again. I fell asleep again around 11. This is usually rare for me, but it’s the second night in a row. I guess I’m starting to get tired of my rebellious need to go to bed late that I have carried with me ever since high school. I woke up around 2 and couldn’t sleep though for about 3 hours. I guess my body needs to adjust to the new sleeping time. I got more sleep though.

I’ve said I hate cold weather in the past and that I have been dreading fall coming. That is true, but there is one thing I love about cold weather that makes it worth while around here. I love snow a lot, I hope it snows a lot again this fall and winter. It’s the only thing I look forward to when it gets cold. I get sort of gloomy in the winter without it.

I’ve been watching an anime called “Fairy Tail” lately.  I have fallen in love with it I think it’s amazing. The art style is sort of like “One Piece”, which is my favorite anime of all time. I find the story very enjoyable and the characters fun to watch. I have been an anime fan for almost 5 years now knowingly. Before that I watched anime without even knowing it. I guess I have been a fan my whole life if you want to get technical.  I started to get serious about it around the middle of 2006 though. I started watching Card Captor Sakura or Cardcaptors as it’s called around here again. I hadn’t seen it in years, and I found it online along with a few others I had heard about from my best friend at the time. It just sort of branched off into manga and cosplay love after that.

Anyway, I don’t want to exhaust all my words and run out of things to say for later so I’ll just stop here for now. :)

Catching Up

Wow, so it’s been a couple of weeks once again.

Okay, so first of all last time I wrote I was a few days away from seeing Sam. I did see him, it was a very nice experience. I am not a very picky person so even though we did not get to talk very much in person I was fully satisfied that I got to at least see him. I wasn’t really expecting anything though. I mean, this was at church so I knew we probably wouldn’t talk much.

I will say this, I was in a good mood the whole day that day. It was the sunday after my last post.

Anyway, so not much has happened.

My sister is having her baby though this week. We are all excited. We thought that she would probably have it last week but that did not happen. The baby is pretty big. I am surprised it hasn’t tried to escape yet. (ha ha).

I’m excited to have a new nephew. Last week we also learned that my sister in-law is having a girl sometime around December! Yeah, so double excitement last week.

My mom actually got a week off to go visit Linda in California because we were having all this excitement with the baby and all. I’m glad she got a week off from her work. it causes her a lot of stress.

A couple of weeks back there was also a tabernacle choir concert to celebrate some anniversary. I can’t remember what it was. the concert was pretty good though.

Anyway, so we have this fan that was just lying around the house downstairs. I took a liking to it and have been using it a lot lately it feels nice.

Yeah so, other than that I don’t think anything very exciting has happened. :)

5 Day Experiment

So I've been gone from Xanga for a few days and haven't written anything. So a little over a week ago I decided to do an experiment. Around October I had been playing this game called Destiny Online for almost a year. Then suddenly my fan stopped working properly and my computers performance, the performance of videos I watch, and a lot of other things started to just go downhill. 

I didn't think it was the game at the time but all the same I cut my playing time down a lot and eventually quit for a long time.

I cleaned out my fan, and started shutting off my computer at night and at least once or twice for an hour every day. My computer's performance went back to normal and everything was good.

So I decided to do an experiment to see if it was really the game that caused all my problems in the first place.  

I gave my computer the normal amount of rest I stated above, shut down un nessicary programs, browsers, music players, anything that would make it increasingly hard on my computer. I installed Destiny Online and started playing again. Within the first two days I cold tell it was hard on my computer, though the game still worked fine, but it got increasingly worse the longer I played it. by the 3rd day videos were starting to get choppy and my character on the game was starting to get laggy and slower every day. I could tell yesterday something was off. Plus I can tell by now much noise my computer makes as well. 

So my game was working semi fine today. then I gave it a  break fora  half an hour a nd everything went back to the way it was when I was having all those computer problems. My game got really slow, videos got choppy again, my fan wasn't working normally. From the behavior of my computer the past couple of days I'd been waiting for this to happen.

so in the end I confirmed that it was Destiny Online that was causing all those problems. Its just to hard on my computer to run it, it exhausts it. I think if I had kept on playing it my computer would have died a long time ago.  It did overheat at least 3 times last year while I was playing.  

So safe to say I think my computer will go back to normal just like it did last time I quit playing. I'm glad I now the reason now.
