I am back from my vacation. And, as I rather expected, that sucks. ;-)

The trip was, for the most part, absolutely wonderful. I spent the week with my best friend in Seattle, seeing sights and otherwise just "hanging out." There were a couple things that were pure torture (which I must refrain from mentioning in the event she reads this ;-) but again, the trip as a whole was wonderful. I'm very very sad it's over already.

One thing I learned tho is just how much living with the parents sucks. I really really need a raise so I can afford to live somewhat on my own, with other people my age, doing other-people-my-age stuff.

Another thing I learned is that I'm attribute to homosexual males. This is just my luck, yes? I'm not against them or their life style or anything, just I find it rather irksome that the only person in a year to hit on me is male.

Despite having taken my laptop, several useful textbooks, and setting up a wireless connection at my friend's house, I managed to accomplish absolutely nothing on my vacation so far as coding goes.

I planned on borrowing my friend's PowerBook while she was at work to do OS X porting work on Scriptix/AweMUD, but the lack of time combined with my unfamiliarity with OS X made that not happen. I think I'd need to install the Fink utilities to get a real build environment, but I didn't want to start messing around with that kind of stuff on someone else's machine. Guess I still have a work-related excuse for buying a Mac, then. ;-)

Silly me forgot to take my psychology textbook with me on my trip. I'll just have to play catch-up this weekend. Which rather sucks, because (oddly enough) I really need an emotional and physical rest after my "relaxing vacation."

On the upside, it's a good subject to be studying while doing said recovery. ;-)
