There are two reasons for you people being cut. The first is that I feel we never got close enough to be considered friends or we've drifted apart recently. The second is that your posts have been or become uninteresting to me.
As I said in my previous post, this need not be a permanent thing. If you'd like to stay connected to me for whatever reason, I'll add you right back. I just thought I'd mention that I'm not actively reading your posts and the "trial period" is over. It's not like I don't like you, or anything, but I feel we're not close enough to still be considered friends on LJ. This is, as I said before, easily negotiable. This will also help those who were just holding onto me because they didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by de-friending someone.
As for my books, I've finished Devil in the Sky and The Lives of Dax. I'm now working on The Eugenics Wars. Devil in the Sky was crap, but not as bad as I thought from
In home news, my dad's getting more and more depressed. His depression is also causing an anger problem, and he's now prone to yelling fits at minor stuff. I'm praying for him.
Suzie's getting bigger, and yesterday, we got her sister from David. We've tentatively named her "Shirley," but that may be subject to change, and she may end up being named "Opal."
As for me, I'm going to be tested for the Army Reserves today and tomorrow. Here's praying I do well. I'm not actually thinking of going in there, but I'm keeping my options open.
In video game news, I'm a little stuck in Tron 2.0. I know what I need to do, so no one send me walkthroughs. I'm a bit stuck at the part where you're destabilizing the mobile server. I can get the first two bits unlocked, but I get creamed by Data Wraiths while trying to get over to the second two bits. I fight, I get derezzed. I flee, I get derezzed. My question is whether there's some combination of weapons or subroutines that makes short work of Data Wraiths that are far away. My disc throwing isn't accurate enough from that far away, so I've tried other things, like the mesh and the LOL. They're effective, but they're not quick enough against four Data Wraiths. I'm pretty much out of ideas here.

In my social life, I had a great time a few Sundays ago.
That Thursday,
Work so far is OK, but I'm getting a bit annoyed at Alex and Jimmie, due to their attitudes. Alex's attitude is all snobbish and "I'm better than you" and "I don't need to bother with anything you're doing." Jimmie's a nice guy, but he's got this "Rush! Rush! Rush!" attitude, where I'm more of a laid-back and easy-going type of guy, except in the mornings, when I'm a real grump. Plus, our senses of humor clash with each other, and that doesn't help. I'm hoping I get used to them soon, or a major conflict may erupt.
Well, my recruiter will be here soon, so I'm signing off for now.
