I just felt kinda bad about my site for a while because I couldn't get the server upgrade I wanted, so the migration nver actually happened. :( Apparently it isn't available yet, and someone else had misinformed me. Meh. I mean, I COULD get it if I went and moved my site to a new web host, but... I'm not keen on moving from where I've been a customer since 2001. It'd have to take some pretty bad service.

I may eventually consider it, though, but it'd have to be after a lot of research and with some free time for me to move things properly. I don't envision myself having much free time for months, if not years, so I am going to stick with what I've got unless slow website loading starts to bug me again. Eventually I should be able to get my upgrade!

Sooo yeah. I'm going to order the server in the next few hours.

I'm almost done with backups. Everyone who didn't tell me they do their own backups should be... backed up!

Sorry for the huge delay, but I got all sicky and that messed me up a lot. (Now I got Jon sick. Figures!) And I got all stressed out about money related things, but I think... hope! that this is resolved now. Well, I guess I will find out. :( If not, I may need to go and poke around for another money source to keep site up for a month or so until I get another source.

The problem is mainly because, due to the horrifyingly extreme delay I've had in getting any sort of identification, I don't have a local bank account. I have to depend on my parents to actually send me my ATM/credit card from the U.S... and as you all know, dealing with my parents+money in any way is unhappy times for me.

I am flu-ish, I think! Something like that. I'm feverish and throat hurty and head stuffy. It... sucks.

Anyway I am yet again going to be lagging on the server migration, I'm just going to do it next week. It's lame to do it over a weekend because that might extend the downtime (since it's not me working on it, it's the HostForWeb techs.)

That is... more or less all I have to say right now. Oh wait! I played Dark Heresy last night and Selina totally put us into a time warp where we're 50 years older and have ~10000 xp (this puts us in our last rank I think? or near last). I understand the need for the skip, but I feel that not being able to play through how my character got to be powerful kind of... distances me from her, in a way.

Of course, the game didn't have a ton of character development initially (not Selina's fault, more the format of the game and the style of the players). Maybe actually being more powerful will mean more time for development? I'm not sure yet. I'm kinda too sick to go and mess with Iria's sheet right now in any case *goes to finish slooowly writing rpol posts, hard to be creative in this state*

I posted the announcement, too. I'm going to do it tomorrow instead, while I'm playing Dark Heresy. (That's around 9 pm Eastern)

What's going on lately... mostly me having bouts with my usual paranoia and anxiety and mood issues. Grrrr. I decided at one point to be more social and talk to more of my RPoL players on AIM, but I'm not sure it was a good idea. Well, I met some cool people, but on the other hand, I don't always like to talk about my games constantly. And I sometimes feel obligated to help people when I'm logged in, which means I take even longer to write my posts. :(

I have to think about this stuff, because I worry about juggling full time college and the RPoL games. A lot. I may not be able to do it. But, I figure I'll know for sure when I get there. I just don't want to be the sort of person who will give up her one chance at college for RP. I would NEVER be able to live with myself.

I started taking a multi-vitamin on Kalli's suggestion! I will start to see how it helps my health soon enough! Exercise is hard as usual because my usual fears and anxieties seem to be exacerbated by the spectre of college time looming over me (I'm really scared it won't work out and I'll fail at it.)

Also, I actually got my class registration squared away. I'll write more about my schedule when I'm in the mood to think about it.

Been waiting on the OS upgrade, since I'm checking to make sure people have backed up stuff. Though I'm pretty sure I will sign up for it today.

Basically, I've been told that to upgrade, I have to order a new VPS on a new server, as the one I want is incompatible with the server I'm on right now. Apparently. So they have to go through the fun process of transferring my data and giving me a new IP and etc.

I did save backups of my sis's, Eni, Rin and Selina's directories, and MAY do it again right before I know the site will go offline, but if I REALLY wanted to be thorough, I should go on IRC and tell people myself. Meeeh don't wanna. I know Eni reads this now and then, so Rin is the only one who'd be kinda in the dark. I'm just... having a hard time nowadays being communicative with anyone. I feel like withdrawing more and more. Maybe I will still try to nudge him myself though, I really ought to. :(

Compounding my asocial behavior is the fact I had a bad situation happen with RPoL recently. I am reluctant to write about it much because I don't want to risk any messy fallout if the people involved read this. But it put me in a terrible mood for a while, and so I feel inclined to detail it. Perhaps it will be therapeutic.
