"Investigation is implied in our mandate"

lumy12Had one of those "this will make a good journal entry" moments last night.
More like, early this morning. I was up until just after midnight. Fell asleep pretty quickly and was happily in Dreamland at 3:30am, when suddenly light floods the room and a voice babbles something about an alarm. I recognize the voice as A.'s, but think, "no it's too early for the alarm to go off" - nevermind the fact that A. was not here last night. But the voice wouldn't go away and the light wouldn't shut off. I finally woke up enough to comprehend what he was saying - he failed to shut off my house alarm and I needed to go over to the speakerphone thing and talk to the guy. So I stumble blindly over there (no glasses on), still half-asleep, and the guy asks my name - which I remember correctly - and my passcode. I remembered the numbers of the code but I think maybe there's a password I'm supposed to tell the guy to let him know all is well, and I can't recall it. So I say "I don't know." He asks for it again, and I tell him the number code and ask if that's what he means (he must have thought I was a total idiot) and he asks if everything is okay - yes yes, we're good, thank you.
Now I'm kind of awake and chattering away at A., who knows the code, by the way, but must not have entered it right, or not hit "off" or something. I usually don't set it when I know he's coming anyway, but I didn't know! He keeps apologizing for "messing everything up" but I'm not mad, of course, it was incredibly sweet of him to drive down all spur-of-the-moment to see me on V-day. He keeps telling me to shut up and go to sleep. Well, 2 minutes later we see flashing lights in the other room. The cops were here! He goes to answer the door while I put on a robe, and glasses this time. Two cops are at the door, demanding to see me, the homeowner, of course. They flash their lights in my face and ask if I'm okay. I laugh and explain. They say "Your door was unlocked, you know." No I didn't know. I look at A. - he says he must have forgotten to lock it with all the hubbub over the alarm. They ask to see my ID. I show it to them and they're satisfied. Totally not smiling or anything the whole time. They probably get calls like this all the time, working the night shift.
This morning I go over to the alarm and notice it flashing. It was still going off! (silently) I didn't notice it last night when I was blind. So I don't know if the cops came because of that, or because I was an idiot on the phone with the alarm guy and they were suspicious.
I think I'm going to get charged for this cuz it was a false alarm. Heh. I won't tell A., he feels horrible about waking me up like that.
Definitely a 2-cups-of-coffee day!
Good thing I posted Palpy's Valentine stuff last night cuz now I don't know when I'll be on. I don't know if A. will leave tonight or tomorrow morning. But, meh, what's a little timeline fuckification, eh? I can play some today at work. Here and there. Becca didn't think she'd be on, so her Ani and my Padme will probably just spend V-day out-of-game.
I don't want a third character. I'm really not that bitter that I don't get to play at Jedi parties. *repeat ad nauseum until I'm convinced - and Amber is convinced!*
I'm not sure what to do with Max. I hardly ever play that game. Every time I log in as him, there's a few more friends to add, a few new characters looking for backstory. I can't keep up with all the threads, but I hear no one can. I could have him spam people's journals but you don't get house points for that, it has to be a "real" thread in the main community. And since I don't play very much, I kinda feel like it's unfair of me to try to get some character relationships going... I don't want to piss people off. I've thought about putting him on hiatus, but 'til when? Life is only going to get busier next month. Maybe I'm making too big a deal out of this. The game is huge, and the active players have more than one character, so it's not like I'm missed that much. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raven_annabelle, if you're reading this - thoughts?) I just feel bad for neglecting him. Yet I continue to do it. Kinda like how I feel bad for slacking at work and yet I continue to do it. I should probably divide my RP time into HiH and omgls. But I can't stay away from the crack! It's too addictive!
I love it!!!!
*hugs'n'smooches*
Happy frekkin' Valentine's Day, yo.

Date: 2006-02-14 07:53 am (UTC)My typist thinks you should just read Megan's weekly update posts instead of trying to read every darn thread - it does get to be a bit much if you're not logged in every day.

Date: 2006-02-14 08:13 am (UTC)I wrote another
hideously awfulpoem for Anakin. You can read that on my latest (not-friends-locked... yet) journal entry. I'm such a romantic! And the weekly roundup should be sometime today, if she keeps true to form...no subject

Date: 2006-02-14 08:53 am (UTC)Also, I'd like to actually blame the complications on Amber, who friendslocks all her posts (although they do rather tend to need to be friendslocked eventually). As opposed to me - I generally forget to lock mine, whoops. Meh.
Bah. Now I've got to sort through the various party threads. *cries* Not even chicken noodle soup will make this better.
/pointless rambling
Also, I agree with Amber, and think you should pick up OOC!Shaak Ti, 'cause she's hot.

no subject
Date: 2006-02-14 09:06 am (UTC)...you know, I should probably stop blaming things on Amber, but she's such a useful scapegoat.
Yeah, tell me about it. *sighs* And I need to finish my porn so that I have some fic to post for Valentine's Day, so the party had better not kill my brain.

Date: 2006-02-14 09:11 am (UTC)You'll be happy to know that Becca and I FINISHED the oooooooold Padme/Ani thread last night, finally! Nine days.
Somehow, that's Amber's fault, too. *nods*
no subject
Date: 2006-02-14 09:12 am (UTC)Yeah, I saw. *puts a sticker on Wendy's forehead* Good job.
Everything is Amber's fault. *nods* Even when she doesn't know about it.

Date: 2006-02-14 09:17 am (UTC)I think Amber and I spent an hour tossing songs around before deciding on that one - it could have been worse!
