I knew I would fail my sociolinguistic exam, but probably not that bad! We had a part on Canadian English, so I tried to channel Sonoci, but it didn't work a lot...

HEX WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW AND CRAP TODAY

Seriously, I've cleaned out my recycling bin, I defragged last week, what's wrong? I can't even use Microsoft Bloody Word without it freezing up every five seconds.

(Hex is my laptop, because I'm a nerd)

Speaking of laptop problems, mine keeps on disconnecting from the internet (people in the IRC have witnessed that just now - Shiho, Shehoe and Shehehe were all there because of that :x... and the laptop's really the problem, not the internet connection).

T_T


EDIT: I just realized my laptop doesn't have a name. :o I wonder if I'll give it one. ::)

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.” - Nora Roberts

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." - Robert Brault

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow." - Denis Waitley

You were probably asleep? It was 8.30am GMT +1 when I did it xD

My computer has a name too, he's called Yume!

I can't continue on my fanfic like this D: *was half-finished with the latest chapter*
This is why I prefer to use Open Office (a free program) instead of Microsoft. Although for my writings I use Scrivener.

I've been having computer issues lately too. Maru-chan (my netbook) is apparently grumpy. Spot (my main laptop) has been out of commission since summer with a busted power-connection. And last nigh Maru-chan decided to restart to install updates without warning. I was in the middle of a conversation on cbox, talking to Kyuu-san about Tolkien stuffs.
I have finally started to actually publish my story! For the moment, expect a new chapter each month.

The Case of the Midnight Channel
"When a strange letter summons the Mouri family to Inaba, Ran is expecting a case. She's not expecting it to involve the TV, though.
If Naoto investigated everyone who came to visit Inaba, she'd have little time for real cases. When Yukiko reports that the Midnight Channel is back, however, she starts to wonder if the visitors are connected. Especially when the image clears, unveiling yet another mystery."

Short version: I'm taking various DC/MK characters to Inaba (where Persona 4 takes place) and dropping them through the TV to face their Shadows!

I just recently had a windows update hit my desktop, so the slowness might be an update hitting your laptop and being installed while you try to be productive. Could be a bunch of things though :V

Another bloody school shooting.

Don't know what motivated the shooter yet, don't really care. If the solution is shooting small children, then you're wrong.

Agree 1000%.
This one was closer to where I live than I can recall hearing about ever before.
Am all by myself as Archi is at work.
Have a bunch of things that need to get done today and I have been too upset to work on any of them for most of the afternoon. T.T

There are rare situations where it might be a solution, some even where it might be the best. They are, however, very, very rare and in-between, and this was clearly not one of them.
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

I can't stop thinking of the parents and the children in school shooting  :'( it's horrible, I can't find words....Also, the survived children, they must be in a terrible mental state, God knows for how long it will affect them  :(


let's see for how long I will be thinking about this every time I kiss goodbye to my children when I drop them to school

Every time I want to give up on DC, it manages to bring me back, it brings me back feelings I know that I will never ever feel or live again.

Yes, exactly.  Reading the news reports on it isn't really helping.  There's no sense of motive, and everyone thought he was just a really smart and quiet guy.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

So, let's lighten up the day with a slightly happier bad story of the day. I have possibly the worst cold *ever* atm :x. Like, worse than the level of colds you see in DC :x. [me=Stopwatch]gives out cakes to everyone [/me]
