This is the internet, so somebody's got to sympathize with this.

You know when you decide not to buy something/save a file/whatever because you're convinced you can just do it later and it will still be there? And then it isn't? I did that! Aaaaaaargh. There was, like, this one piece of fanart I loveloveloved to pieces and I checked it out a couple of times over on DA, but now it's not there. That, or my 5+ searches were just incredibly frivolous, which is seeming less and less likely.

Whyyyyyyy.

That's happened a few times with pictures I liked. A-at least my bad luck in that regard hasn't yet extended to purchasing things, since I tend to be really "OH GOD BUY ON SIGHT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE IT LATER" if I know I need it.

So, the other day, there was a little get-together at my friend's house. We set up his Xbox 360 outside so we could play under the gazebo thing, and we were discussing what games we should bring out.

ME: Do you have Street Fighter 4? Because I really want to play that.
FRIEND: Nope.
*other friend shows up a while later*
FRIEND 2: Hey, why didn't you tell me we were going to play Xbox? I would've brought Street Fighter 4!
ME: 8[

Anyway,

it's exactly a month until my birthday (on the 19th)! I'll be 19, which is legal drinking age in my province.

Also, in my ponderings, I came to discover that herons will actually land and nest in trees. That's kind of a freaky thought. They're like four feet tall. I'm not sure how I'd feel if I was walking along and looked up to see a four foot fall bird in the tree above me. I think my reaction might involve screaming and running. They're pretty, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about being that close to one (especially within dive-bombing range). There's one down at the waterfront sometimes; he just chills out on a log and fixes his feathers. I never have my camera on me when he's there, though. I want to take a picture of him. :C

Here's a picture of another great blue heron if you're interested. Obviously it's not my photo, but it's a nice shot. :>
