Sorry about the inactivity. For the last few days I've been helping my
friend Rob set up a 48TB file server using Debian. It's been kind of a
pain, but we finally got it to recgonize the MegaRAID card and got a
samba server set up tonight. It's pretty nice. He's going to eventually
also set up plex for streaming.
It's the Valentine Season (or right after it). I'm not really a huge fan
of Valentine's Day. My dad died on Feb 13th, 2010, so I always have that
memory in my head right before it, and also I really never have had a
valentine anyway. The only time I did was last year, and even then my
boyfriend and I broke up the day afterwards because we wanted to wait
until we were IRL to *actually* date (as we had been dating online for
six months and realized it was too hard and too much of a pain). Which,
y'know, I'm fine with, but it kind of made the Valentine's card he got
in the mail later that day bittersweet.
I usually do try to spend the day nicely though. Last year my friends
and I used the school's old letterpress to let people come in and print
out their own valentine's card. And this year I gave out cards to some
of my friends, went to SAEC, got the server running, and ate both Taco
Bell and Papa John's (thank you Celina and Rob). It really does end up
making me feel better about the day (and the previous day), but still,
it does kind of suck to not actually have a valentine. I did give the
one dude I like currently a card, but I really don't think that'll go
anywhere. The only other person I like is kind of impossible to date,
plus I think he's moved on from the idea of dating me anyway. He's got
other men to pursue.
I told Tomo happy Valentine's Day and sent a sticker on Messenger, but
he hasn't bothered to reply. He's gotten better about messaging back for
the time being, but it's still bad (and rude).
This is really a bit depressing to talk about. Maybe I shouldn't have.
Anyway, Computer Club's movie night is on Friday. I'm looking forward to
it (and to then spending the weekend alone eheh bc Bars and Rob are
going to Oxford for the Lunar New Year. Kind of wish I was invited but I guess
they see enough of me anyway. Doesn't take much to get kind of sick of
me).
