The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

(The following was written with a big smile on my face. I felt joy while writing it.)

I wrote a nice, long message to you on why you were wrong. And then I decided to not send it, because really, you'll just reply to it; and let's face it, the only message I want to see from you is your ballot when the voting stage for the awards begins. I am willing to stop, stop acknowledging that you exist, stop thinking that it was somehow worth it to call you out on the lies. And then I will also start something, start acting as if you never came here. And maybe after the awards are over, I will block you, that way you will no longer be a liar. After all, you've been using forums long enough to know that if you are able to see the content someone creates on a forum, then you are not blocked.

I highly suggest that you find it in your being to start acting as if I am not here as well. At this point, it's probably best. And if you're still convinced that I hate you, well, I don't. I just don't like you. And the number of people I don't like is very low. You could say that you're part of a very prestigious club. Yes, you're among someone I didn't like in high school who is now dead, and my father, who kind of already has claim to all of the hate in my heart. So, there's no chance of you being hated by me.

(This concludes the big smile part. Now it's time for normal-sized smile stuff).

Dad came over today. He seemed disappointed that none of the work he had lined up for today had shown up here at the house. I am not surprised. I wouldn't want to leave a vehicle here with only me here to make sure nothing happens to it. After I had to get rid of the firearms so Dad could live here again (part of his probation), the only weapon I have are kitchen knives and tennis rackets. I can't really fend off an armed drug using thief resorting to stealing from some kid just to get his next fix.

I was very surprised when Dad brought in an armload of firewood while I was out there getting in firewood. He could only be bothered to bring in the one armload, because he was too busy sitting on the couch watching me do it after that.

My brother was able to fix the 4-wheeler he had been working on today. The part that I ordered for him arrived today. I still haven't been reimbursed for the part yet. On top of that, he still owes me for the last two phone bills as well. So, I guess that means that I won't have to pay this month's electric or water bills. Yay!

I should have announced it here, but because I don't like that Not-Quite-Spam thread (it reeks of spam) and I don't where else it would go, I decided to not announce it. But anyway, Gypsy Elder was on twitch today, and she played Final Fantasy VII, and it was awesome! And che was there, and Polk was there, and it was very fun. My favorite part was when all of us that were there at the time were participating and helping with figuring out the password from Mayor Domino. A friend and colleague of mine from the site I write for even stopped in and helped. I had no idea it was him until he messaged me on Skype about it. I was all, "You're Aquassacrifice! I had no clue that was you!" I probably should have known it was someone I know from Skype because of how I am known as my last name because there are two Michael's in our group chat. Anyway, it was nice to see Gypsy play again. I keep missing out on when LocoColt04 plays. And I finally got to watch che play not too long ago. I guess whenever there's a game I like to come out, I'll go and buy a PS4 so I can stream on twitch. Since I still haven't figured out how to set my computer up for it. I need a "twitch for the not fluent in streaming" book or something.

I played with my food this evening. I had chicken rings and chicken fries for dinner. First I spelled words. That was fun, but it didn't last long because there as many words you can make L's and O's (C's if I eat part of the O's). Then I made a wagon. I jammed one of the fries through the rings to make wheels and axles, then put a layer of fries on top of the two axles. Add a fry for a handle, and presto! I made a wagon. My brother didn't seem amused with my food art.

The registration phase for the osu! tournament ended at midnight (currently 12:21am). That means that I have to really buckle down and practice the beatmaps if I am going to have a chance at winning the tournament. Well, my stage of the tournament. I hope someone comes through and manages to air it online for people to see. I think it would be neat to have some people cheering me on while watching me compete in a gaming tournament.

Well, that's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums and until then...

Later!

Michael
