Ah, yet another day of contradictions.

pacificpikachuToday was another one of those I-did-lots-of-things-and-still-pulled-off-doing-nothing days. I was planning on waking up at 8:30 AM, but because I've apparently become a devoted mother bird, one of the baby birds peeped once at 7 AM and I was up making food for them. Between feedings, I read this week's Time magazine until about 9 AM, when I got up, cleaned both guinea pig cages, put the cockatiels outside in the gold cage, cleaned their cage, and spent hours finishing screening the cage for the scrub jays. I don't recommend screening things. Seriously. I burned my fingers with the glue gun about a thousand times, stabbed myself with the wire I was using about as many times as I burned myself, and had back pain from hunching over that big ol' cage. It was worth it in the end, though--the birdies love it. They hop around and fly and bounce from perch-to-perch. I'm so impressed with the littler of the two because when I got him, he'd do nothing but sit listlessly in the nest because he was so weak, but now he acts like a totally normal little jay. And his foot, which had some nerve damage or something, is now entirely better.
I did lots of pet chores, but around 2 PM or so those winded down, so I've spent most of the rest of the day saving Naruto fanart, reading Fandom_Wank for my amusement, watching discussions on the latest chapters of Naruto, and wondering why it is I never want to write when I have any free time. Seriously--I could have finished Third Drawer Down today, or if I didn't feel like writing that, getting a good start on Dust and Ashes, but I seriously had NO muse whatsoever. It always pops up when there is zero chance of me being able to act on it. XD; It's trying to thwart me--I just know it!
Zoe never called me like she was going to, but oh well. :/ I've been pretty lonely for human contact lately--I haven't gotten to hang out with anyone outside of school for...a while. KK said she and I were going to have another big talk, but I've barely even heard a peep out of her for weeks--even when I'm made attempts at contacting her; I don't even know what to say to Cody anymore; Nicole never tries to hang out because she's busy... Everyone else, it just doesn't work out. Granted, I've been coping semi-okay lately (though, as always, I have my up and down moments, and the more I think about it the more I realize I'm just ignoring the problem and distracting myself from it--and...well, it hurts a lot when I do start dredging things up, even just for a few seconds), but I just miss being around people. I seem to go through stages in my life where I surround myself with friends, and stages of my life where I become a hermit, and I don't really feel like being a hermit at this point. I enjoy all the time I've gotten to spend with my animal friends lately, but there are certainly weaknesses to hanging out with a bunch of scrub jays, cats, dogs, birds, horses, guinea pigs, chickens, etc. Namely, that they don't speak my language. @_@
After my long afternoon of doing nothing, Mom, Ryan, and I went out to dinner at a restaurant nearby. It was rather nice--good food, nice atmosphere, overall a pleasant dinner. :) Mom tried to get me to practice driving on the way back, but I flatly refused. @_@
Now Mom and Ryan are accompanying Mom's pregnant friend Alexia to the hospital because she's having some un-baby-related abdominal pains and...um...yeah. Alexia likes mooching off of whatever people will give her. I'm seriously scared that when she has the baby, she's going to be over at our house all the time with it and get my Mom to babysit it and such. *Shudders at the very thought* I'm definitely going to have to lay down some rules here, before I pull out all my hair or create projectile weapons out of sporks or something equally drastic in order to get rid of the inevitable, slimy, squalling, bald thing. EW. Don't make me go Lord of the Flies here, except with a baby instead of a pig. [/slightly psychopathic]
And Ryan took my DVD player with him to the hospital, too! WOE! T_T
Eh, that's pretty much all there is to say for the moment. I'm going to go find me some more pretty SasuNaru fanart. I can't have enough, you know? It's an addiction. A good addiction.
