I always really like Ryland's chapters. No matter what they're about, they never cease to make me feel better. I just got really bad news from my dad, but he said he didn't even know if he was allowed to tell me. Which means I probably can't tell my friends. Since I'm leaving for college soon I'm worried about him and what might happen.
I woke up this morning and my throat was on fire. It reminded me of when I had strep throat or tonsilitis in middle school, but this time I could also feel in excruciating detail the sensation of mucus draining from my nose down my throat. I know, hot right?
My throat is feeling a little better right know, after just having thrown up aforementioned mucus that I started choking on. I ate two sandwiches (PB&J and a deli meat sandwich, I didn't think they'd go well together, but I just had to compartmentalize each taste and it was really nice).
Now I'm back downstairs monitoring my Xbox's installation of Fortnite. I started it hours ago and it's only 29% complete. My internet speed is painfully slow, especially out here in the country. Xfinity suck my ass.
I'm trying to get my friends to download it so we can play squads together, but I'm salty because my PC doesn't have the capability to run it smoothly, and I don't want to have to pay for Xbox live gold in order to play. Xbox also seems like the worst platform considering it's excluded from the cross-platform play.
I'm getting a headache, and I just want to play some fucking Fortnite but it's downloading at 4 Mb/s and it's a 11 GB game. Jesus Christ.
I wish I felt less sick; for some reason I actually kind of wanted to go to school today? I didn't have anything fun or exciting happening, I just wasn't feeling mentally terrible, I guess. I miss seeing Ryland. He's really cute and every time I see him I feel like a dog seeing a squirrel. I want to crack open my knuckles on everyone who talks shit to him, but I can't afford losing $88,000.00 on a disciplinary infraction this close to getting out of here.
While waiting for Fortnite to download, I started playing Halo 5 after not playing it in ages and oh my god is the campaign so boring. I stopped after like 10 minutes.
I don't really have much to write about considering there's a large lack of stimuli as I sit alone in the dark in my basement. I just wanted to give Ryland a chapter to read since he wrote one for me. I suppose it wasn't technically for me, he had his book long before I came along. But I always kind of view his chapters as presents he knows I'll enjoy.
Anyways, yeah. Ryland buddy, this one's for you.
