Cheated
Jun 2, 2003

Ok, so it's not really a big cheat, but it's an annoying one. I've now lost two entries to hitting submit post without copying the text. Everytime I forget to copy the text, I lose the entry via an error page :/ It happened about two weeks ago, and it happened last night...or the night before, I can't remember. After something like that happens though, I have a hard time rewriting the whole thing, or even a different entry without getting too annoyed to follow through. Perhaps a few more losses will convince me to obey Domy and just write the whole thing in word first and then copy and paste here. I guess I just find it easier on the journal flow to write it directly on greymatter.

I took my roommates' middle son (the one with average rated autism--he's average in the autistic range, not high, but not low either) to see "Finding Nemo" for his birthday, which was today. My son went with us too. Both boys had a blast, even though we sat in the theatre 20 mins before the movie started :/ (I accidently already bought popcorn and pop before asking how long before the start of the movie). The fortunate side to that, was none of us had had lunch yet, so they were pretty much entertained drinking the drinks and eating the popcorn while paying vague attention to the quiet adds and trivia on the movie screen. The birthday boy has turned 6 today, and he's an absolute joy (most times). Finding Nemo was my son's second trip to the theatre, the first trip was to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets which he paid vague attention to. I found myself fighting with him at least 50% of the time (he was quiet mostly, but constantly trying to get out of my lap and stuff). I believe he fell asleep near the end. He intently watched Finding Nemo though, never took his eyes off of it, not even when offered more drink or popcorn during the movie (he would push it out of his way whenever I offered hehe). Today was a very good day.

I'm feeling sleepily content, my son is sleeping, and I'm listening to some war thing on the History Channel...I think I'm gonna change it.
