  <title>Ugh - a weekend to go blah</title>
  <author>bbitommyboy@gmail.com</author>  <link>http://tommyboybbi.insanejournal.com/7733.html</link>
  <description>We needed the rain.&amp;nbsp; SO I can&apos;t really complain.&amp;nbsp; But Rain t night is better than during the day.&amp;nbsp; My daughter is bored., the Dsh scrambled for the storm tracked south, and I can&apos;t seem to get my mind to do anything worth while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today is another day of the same.&amp;nbsp; Though my Mom wants to go to AC Moore to get a Spring flag for her house and later wants to go out for dinner.&amp;nbsp; So out, home for awhile then out again.&amp;nbsp; Then it&apos;s a week of work.&amp;nbsp; blah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting items this week.&amp;nbsp; I accumlated like 400 pionts at switchplanet.&amp;nbsp; Last year. for several months, cd&apos;s came through the recycling plant that had be opened to get the cardboard wrappers and we divied the cd&apos;s up.&amp;nbsp; I took one to keep and a few to trade.&amp;nbsp; I started at lala.com then went to switchplanet and swaptree, that expand that they have books, cd&apos;s, dvd&apos;s and computer games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last weekend I looked at computer games.&amp;nbsp; My daughter was asking bout Nintendo DS, but I can&apos;t afford that 120.00 game at the moment.&amp;nbsp; But looked at game boy advance.&amp;nbsp; Someone had the game console for 91 points and going on, games usually cost from 15 to 40 points.&amp;nbsp; I picked up the game console and several games and a few dvd&apos;s for myself, to be sent over this last week.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I figured if she can get the idea on how to use the game console and go from there I might be able to afford a better system knowning that she likes it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went today and get this .. someone has a super nintendo game system and a few games for under 100 points.&amp;nbsp; I put in a request for them to see.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ex had gotten a super nintendo .. well we got it twice actually.&amp;nbsp; He bought one for me for his christmas gift to me when we were dating.&amp;nbsp; at the ime they were 150.00 when they first came out.&amp;nbsp; I let him keep it at his apartment.&amp;nbsp; Somehow it disappeared in his move from Louisville to Cincinnati.&amp;nbsp; So saving up money again, he bought it again.&amp;nbsp; It was fun to play now and then.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m a tetris girl and did some mario stuff but I wasn&apos;t into solving the levels.&amp;nbsp; I ususally hated playing aginst Paul for he made it like I&apos;m better than you type thing.&amp;nbsp; I like playing it for the fun, not the competition.&amp;nbsp; So When we broke up, I didn&apos;t pick it up as in needing it.&amp;nbsp; Who knows what happened to it in all his moves since then.&amp;nbsp; Might ask him when I see him this summer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have books, cd&apos;s, dvd&apos;s and games, I highly recommend Switchplanet.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;ve been swapping there for the last year almost and have not had one negative trade.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok, it&apos;s 1, time to go pick up mom and go to acmoore.&amp;nbsp; and see what else my child can try to swindle out of me.</description>

He found himself hounded by the press.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Blair was surprised how Jim watched from the sidelines, not quite doing anything to help him, but supporting him when they were alone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Then the bottom dropped out of his life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Jim had come to him, making them dinner, one of his favorite recipes that Jim cooked and proceeded to tell him that being a Sentinel was pure bullshit.&amp;nbsp;&quot;Blair, I have lived these last four years, living a lie.&amp;nbsp;I am not a Sentinel.&amp;nbsp;I do have heightened senses but they are not genetic.&amp;nbsp;Burton made up the genetic code; however, he did meet with those who kept watch over tribes.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&quot;If it&apos;s not genetics, then what is it?&quot;

he said slowly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&quot;I was overloaded.&amp;nbsp;Most all we went through is true, but only the source of it was, shall I say, misled.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&quot;You&apos;re a vampire?&quot;

&quot;I know that this is the time to let you read the true source of my senses.&amp;nbsp;Several of my kinsmen over the years have written what they have found.&amp;nbsp;Read them and then we&apos;ll talk about your inanition into the brotherhood.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Blair looked at the books that were set on the table.&amp;nbsp;&quot;And if I don&apos;t want to ~join~?&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&quot;I will do what I must to keep our secret.&amp;nbsp;You can not walk with the knowledge.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;With that, Jim went to the living room and turned on the television, leaving Blair with the books on what might be his coming life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;Blair read the books, sleeping little and reading, then cross referencing with items at the downtown library and on line, stories that were folklore and unsolved crimes here and there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;One evening Blair sat before Jim and asked him more.&amp;nbsp;&quot;If I decide to crossover, how will that be?&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&quot;A controlled draining, I would feast on you to a point.&amp;nbsp;We will have to be away from here, someplace where I can keep you safe.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&quot;Safe?&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&quot;You will have the drive strong within you.
