You know that there's a chance your skirts are a little too short when your shadow is in front of you and it looks like you're wearing leggings insted of a skirt. I'm too lazy to change, however. And my skirt is very comfortable.

Serously, I found this really depressing. I mean, it's probably meant to be hopeful, but concidering I don't have much hope for the homophobic bullshit to change much in the next million years... yeah.
 
Geeze, what's with all the gay stuff lately? You know how sometimes you realize a lot of stuff you read/watch/ect. is on one subject? This is that.

It started with me waking up at, like, three am and I woke up with Elvira Kurt's silly Hot Pink Pantsuit line stuck in my head. And after watching that, I followed the side link to Ellen's 2001 Emmy nonsence. It's almost enough to make me consider watching award shows. If only they gave awards to programs that required thought I actually watched.

To my LJ friend-list: in case you haven't really been paying attention to my bitching in the last week (and I don't blame you if that's the case), I still care about you guys but since I can't sign into LJ, I am unable to view half of your entries (either due to f-locking or your privacy settings set to non-users being unable to view them) so that is why I haven't commented. I have, like, 150 emails flagged in my inbox waiting for me to get back to once I've gotten this sorted out.
----------  Also, unles it's kind of time-revelent (as in, once I get this sorted out, it'll be silly to comment on it because of how much time has passed) I haven't been commenting because it's a nuisance to have to check on all the entries ot see if you have replied, because if you're not logged-in, you don't get an email that tell you so.
 
Also, I had to take a sabbatical from femslash_land because of this, which is annoying, because other then the letter-fic thing (there in no excuse for my patheticness there) I was really enjoying it. Even though I haven't been feeling inspiration for anything**,  the challanges helped. - However, that being said, at least this way I won't be letting my team down and I can focus on holiday related gift stuff.
 
 
** can writers' block mutate into all-encompassing fandom block? I've never had any problems making icons or manips before. It's what I would do while I had writers' block, to help me with ideas.

Still can't sign in to LJ or a few other sites. I have found a way I may be able to reset my computer back to the way it was when first initialized, however I don't know if that is pre or post OS instaliation.
 
I have sent _snitchbitch my daily_scifi entry for today, so at least I can say I've done that. But what's really getting to me is that (1) this happened just days after I opened two daily image comms and (2) a week after I made it so that non-LJ user comments get screened.

I believe I shall go hide in a hole and never come out. Serously, I have been Raven (black-haired girl) in more then one conversation like this.

        FYI if you track my journal or otherwise arrived at this through a direct link to this post (as opposed to on the main page or your friend page), I've put all the semi-OT explanations/ramblings behind strategically-placed cuts. If you wish to avoid my lunicy, feel free to read it on my journal's main page. ^_^

*chirping* What fun! My laptop is still as slow as honey from a squeeze bottle stored in the fridge (I refuse to use the 'molasses' comparison until I use it in anything other then the German cookies I used to make every Christmas with my father (which is one of my few positive memories with him, but that's not in any way relevant)), something that began when my McAfee expired and should have been a large, blinking sign that I needed to reformat my computer, since I know it should be done every six months anyhow and have yet to do so since I got it a little over a year ago. And I still can't log into LJ.

    - Once I calmed down from my spazing snit-fit/freakout at my computer and technology in general, I realized the smart thing would be to back up everything to avoid the crap I went through last year when my computer failed ( click to read OT mini-rant about so-called 'Tech. Support' )

    - After spending all day backing up everything on my computer, at around 8:30 I tried to reformat it. But guess what? I couldn't, because even though right-clicking on the C drive in 'My Computer' gives the option to format, when I pick it, it says I can't because it's where my opperatig system is installed, so I need to reset it with the opperating system software CD in.
                - now, correct me if I'm wrong, because I've only bought two laptops in my life, but between those two and my mother's, when purchasing such a computer, it comes with the opperating system (in this case, Windown Vista, which is a hell unto itself) already installed and they do not give you a disk. ( Microsoft-related bitching; basically I _should_ have a disk despite that laptops don't come with one ) So I must have it somewhere, but God knows where it is in my house ( also known as a blackhole ). So unless anyone happens to know how to reformat my computer without needing to re-install Windows, I'm screwed.

Oh, and I also can't log into my school website, which is just added awesome, because I have an on-line test Friday.

 
- am not actually in a coma, although I wish I were
- suffering from muscle tremors & vertigo
- got some sleep, not at the hospital
- will catch up on / work on all backlogged commitments tomorrow

Yeah... so, you know when you get manic, even though you have the attention span of a goldfish, you somehow manage to decide that crazy projects are actually a really good idea and obsess? Exactly. I built that Marvel Daily Image comm (and will probably make the BtVS one in the next few days if I don't end up going to the hospital) which I posted on my fandom-related comm, but the few people who watch it who I thought would be interested have not seen it, so I am posting it here as well. ^_^ http://community.livejournal.com/marveloncedaily/
