I'm Alive! | Estoy Vivo!

Well, that was an interesting turn of events. I'm fine! Those that worried, worry no more.

So, I should begin at the beginning?

Monday was the dreaded day. Or was it Tuesday? This information eludes me, but the point is that I was sick to hell during the past week. Anywho, on one of those 2 days, we had a thunderstorm and this little fella brought me a nice bang and a flash that I swear fell right outside my house.

As I was minding my own business, thunder struck. My internet went out. I figured, "It probably was a power surge, it'll be back any moment now.". But it never came back. I checked the modem, and lo and behold, it was fried.


I was sad. The only thing that kept me entertained while house arrested (didn't want to infect anyone with whatever I had, mind you.) was taken away, just like that. Oh, it was tragic. And by tragic I mean cataclysmic.

Not having internet did give me the opportunity to do other things though. I rested more so I got healthy faster. Played Need for Speed: Carbon on my Wii, now it's fully unlocked, . I'm such a geek. Blablabla.

What else... oh yeah, because I was sick, I told Gerardo not to come see me. That got him a little annoyed but I didn't mind it much. The next day, I denied him again. This time he got pissed. Oh boy, was I in for hours upon hours of whining. OK fine, I whined too. Was up till about 2 AM on the phone with him, on passive aggressive mode. Luckily, that fight was short lived, and the next day I let him come see me and suddenly everything was fine.

So... when he came to visit, I had to get my medicine, right? Haha, oh, that sounds so wrong. But, it's true. I blew him, and got my medicine. And it was good medicine. I felt powered up instantly. Haha.

And, I got to hang out with my friend who I hadn't seen in a while. He argued he wasn't really avoiding me, just had been ultra busy. I bought into it. I don't care, I got my friendship back. So, that's good.

So, it was a pretty uneventful week. I mean, I slept most of the week, so I didn't get to do anything exciting. My modem took long to arrive, but at least now I have wireless intarwebz.

I had a dream, were Pluto became a planet again. One day, my friend, one day. Oh Pluto, I miss you so.

And now that I got my modem, it seems one of my friends got pissed at me because apparently I put everything else before him who did nothing but worry about me all week. For that, I'm sorry. Sometimes I don't notice my douchebaggery. =(

That's it for now, boring week. This is my final week in Uni. Vacations are so close, I can smell them! So during vacations I'll have plenty to write about hopefully.

It also seems I will be working half time during summer in a Biomedical Engineering company a friend of my father runs. At least I hope it helps my resume? We'll see.

Tomorrow (today) is May 1st, Labor Day. No classes. No work. No anything.

Oh, and before I forget. Should anyone dare wish me a "happy 5 de mayo" I will smack you silly. Contrary to popular belief, it's not an important Latino festivity (hell, it's only Mexican), and it's only a celebration of when we defeated France in a battle. My history sucks, but if I recall correctly, 3 days later the French came back to kick our ass, anyway.

So, that's it for this post. :D Hugs to all!

Bueno, pues estuvo interesante todo. Estoy bien! Todos los que se habían preocupado, despreocúpense.

Entonces, empiezo por el principio?

El lunes fué el día maldito. O fué el martes? Pues el dato me evade, pero el punto es que estuve enfermo como la chingada toda la semana pasada. Y fué en uno de esos dos días que tuvimos tormenta eléctrica, y muy buena onda cayó con toda la fuerza casi afuera de mi casa.

Mientras hacía lo que siempre hago, cayó un trueno. Mi internet se murió. Yo supuse que seguro había sido un exceso de corriente y que regresaría pronto. Pero no lo hizo. No volvió. Entonces chequé mi modem, y como era de esperarse, estaba frito.

Me puse triste. Lo único que me entretenía mientras estaba de arresto domiciliario (no quería infectar a nadie con lo que tenía) fué arrancado de mí. Fué trágico, y con trágico, realmente quiero decir cataclismico.

Eso sí, no tener internet me dió la oportunidad de hacer otras cosas. Descansé más y me mejoré más rapido. Jugué Need for Speed: Carbon en mi Wii, y ahora está todo completo. Soy un geek. Blablabla.

Que más... ah sí, como estaba enfermo, le dije a Gerardo que no me viniera a ver. Se molestó un poco, pero no le dí mucha importancia. Al siguiente día, le dije que no viniera otra vez. Se encabronó. Bueno, estuvimos chillando por horas. Y no de lagrimas, pero discutiendo. Hasta las 2 AM me quedé hablando con el, en modo pasivo agresivo. Por suerte, no duramos mucho enojados, ya que al siguiente día lo dejé venir a visitarme y ya todo estaba bien.

Así que cuando vino... tenía que tomarme mi medicina, no? Jaja, eso suena tan mal. Pero, es cierto. Se la mamé, y me tomé mi medicina. Y ya ven lo que dicen de Vitacilina... "Ah que buena medicina". Me sentí con energía al instante! Jaja

Y, pude pasar tiempo con mi amigo que no había visto en un rato. Según el que no estaba evadiéndome, sino que simplemente estaba ocupado. Me la creí. No me importa, he recuperado su amistad. Así que eso es bueno.

Pues, fué una semana sin más. Digo, dormí la mayoría de ella, así que no hice nada emocionante. Mi modem se tardó en llegar, pero por lo menos ahora tengo internet inalámbrico.

Soñé que Plutón era planeta otra vez. Te extraño, amigo. Algún día, algún día.

Y ahora que tengo mi modem, uno de mis amigos se enojó conmigo por que aparentemente pongo todo antes de él que no hizo nada más que preocuparse por mí toda la semana. Lo siento. A veces soy un idiota distraído. =(

Eso es todo por ahora, semana aburrida. Ésta es mi semana final en la Uni. Las vacaciones están tan cerca que puedo olerlas! Así que durante las vacaciones, tendré mucho de que escribir. Ojalá.

Parece ser también que estaré trabajando medio tiempo en una compañía de Ingeniería Biomédica de un amigo de mi Papá. ¿Al menos se va a ver bien en mi currículum? Ya veremos.

Mañana (hoy) es primero de mayo, día del trabajo. No hay clases. No hay trabajo. Nada.

Eso es todo :D Abrazos a todos!

    "douchebaggery" -- If you permit, I will start using that from now on. :P

    A few days ago, the electricity in my area was out and for a good 30 minutes I contemplated how I got through childhood without the aid of the mighty internet. And I was baffled for those 30 minutes since I didn't know what to do with myself. Well, let's just say that I put my hands to good use for at least a few minutes, if you get my drift. hehehehe.

    I hope you are feeling much better now.

    You know what I was thinking about as I was reading G visiting you and medicine... the word dairy... I was sitting here all serious and BANG. I burst out laughing and I couldn't stop (fuck knows why!)... I swear I had to leave my room for a few minutes to regain control of myself.

    I am tempted to wish you Happy 5th May. I blame you for tempting me! I'll have to make a point to remember on Saturday ;o)

    Medicine eh? Is that how some gay guys manage to hit the club day after day looking perfect each time?

    Is that the best kept hidden secret that even most of us gays don't know about it?

    Glad your better bud.
