It's finally November. Though I'm sad to see Halloween go, I'm anxious for the launch of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. National Novel Writing Month has just started today, and I'm less anxious about it than suffering a sense of dread. The day is already half over and I haven't even written a single word, let alone started the Word document. ...this does not bode well.
Sadly, Dom isn't here to see me ripping my hair out; she's not in school, and hasn't been answering my texts. Apparently, she's taking it to extreme lengths to avoid me. Well, this post should get her attention, if she's still checking out the blogs: when we started it, she wanted me to refer to her in a gender-neutral fashion (part of that paranoia about the internet that I mentioned earlier), so outing her as a girl should get her either angry enough to bitch me out in person or at least delete the references to gender in this post. Here's hoping I know her as well as I think I do.

Progress - I've Made None
I haven't asked Dom what's up yet; the moron is avoiding me almost religiously, and tends to escape if I'm seen approaching. I'm beginning to think I might've done something wrong. I really hope not. I suck at apologies.
Anyways, with my birthday out of the way, there are only three more dates in the next month or so that I'm looking forward to: Halloween, the launch of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, and the kick-off of National Novel Writing Month (in that order). Don't get me wrong; I love NaNoWriMo to death, but I also love Halo, which is my number one procrastination station. I never actually finished the first game in the series, so I'm hoping to rectify that wrong with Anniversary. I don't think Halo 2 should get a revamp, though; it's recent enough that if it does get a revamp, it should probably wait until the twentieth anniversary of Halo.
I'm also looking forward to whatever Bungie decides to do next. They've really shown their best with the original Halo trilogy and Reach, and I'm eager to see how they intend to top the series that launched them into fame.
On another note, since Monday I've been waking up at around 3:30 each night (last night and the night before my phone clock read 3:33, but I didn't check the clock on Monday night). I don't know if it's a dream that I don't remember or what, but it's starting to get on my nerves. I don't feel nauseous or sick, I just wake up and fall back asleep a few minutes later. It's just annoying.

Parents
I just want to state my opinion on an issue here: parents are supposed to protect you and provide for you, not kick you out to a friend's house because you don't want to deal with them.
I'm not talking about personal experience, but Dom's parents certainly fall under the general category of 'bastards' (don't worry, I have permission to rant about this).
Dom had to bunk at my place last night because of 'trouble at home' (read: daddy was in the bottle and mommy had enough 'being motherly' for the week). Completely out of the blue, but it's not the first time this has happened, so my parents were cool with it. We didn't really sleep; mostly, we wipe each other out on video games (read: I take the kills in Halo, but none of the kills in Black Ops) or work on our songs (Dom writes the music, I write the lyrics; totally gonna be big in a few years); nothing too strenuous. Maybe we'll end up knocked out at about 4:30 or 5:00 (at the latest), but we have to wake up right away afterwards, so we're both pretty much zombies the whole next day of school.
Speaking of zombies, I've been thinking about putting my 'bug out bag' together. I know I can't have a fully-stocked one at school (no weapons policy), and same thing probably goes for work, but I should be able to build a substantial one at home, if I add the knife I got at the wedding last weekend (usher gift; didn't make much sense to me, either). It's a really small knife, though, so I dunno...
Anyways, Dom tried to tell me that a zombie bag could just include a power bar, a pistol, and a couple of extra shells. Any other zombie fans out there, please join me after the apocalypse to wave a sad goodbye to zombie Dom.
