T.T

it's true. I've had my laptop for less than a year and the hard drive is failing! I mean...WTF?! I already have killed two other hard drives (my previous, shiny, silver laptop. damn i miss that thing...). I'm death for them!

Thank all the gods above I've gotten into the habit of posting all my stuff here, otherwise I'd REALLY be freaking out right now. As it is, I stand to loose ALL my pictures from Scotland thus far. Plus all the music I've collected from my flatmates. And that is just unacceptable. So I'm heading down to the computer guys tomorrow and they're going to pull all the files off my failing hard drive and put it on disks for me. ^.^

Anyways, the point to all of this is: byebye. No laptop = no contact. I leave Dundee on Thursday heading down to Spain, and without my laptop I have no access to computers. (unless I get Rosie to show me down to the public library in Bilbao or something...)

So, long story short:

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

I'll see you lot in January!

STUPID PARKING CITATIONS! AND I'M THE STUPIDEST OF ALL FOR PARKING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! THATS 75 FUCKING DOLLARS IN THE FUCKING HOLE!!! WHAT THE HELL DOES MY UNIVERSITY THINK?! THAT I COME FROM MONEY?! I DRIVE A BEAT UP 1997 FORD FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!! 

thank you for listening to that rant. i'm going to go throw myself in front of a train now... 

I'm an idiot. 

I got pulled over this evening for speeding. I was on the freeway in the passing lane, trying to get around this green car, with a truck on my ass doing the same. I got pulled for doing 78 mph in a 65 zone, about a quarter mile before the freeway turned into a 70mph zone. >.< *sigh*

on the flip side, the cop was nice, and wrote me up for doing 74 instead. So that's only two points against my lisence instead of three. the bad news is this is my third speeding ticket since I started driving when I was 15. Which means that my car insurance is going to go up. 

excuse me while I go mope.... 

At excatly 2:13 this afternoon, I pronounced dead, my beloved catfish Rigel. He was the calmest, most mellow fish in my small tank, and I felt a bond between him and I because of it. Zubenel and Be are tramatized and were unable to contribute to this post, I will forgive them for it. I too find myself unable to summon proper words with which to say goodbye to my fish. 

Goodbye Rigel, may you find happiness in the big fish tank in the sky...

(God I'm weird...) 

 "Only pilots know wny the birds sing"

Just a random quote I came across, I need to remember to pass that one on to Hyper5 for the three ship story. 

Today (Friday)  has just been a bust. it's that simple. I'm just gonna turn off my computer, take a shower, and go to sleep. I hope tomorrow will just be...better, I guess. 

I did find nice sunglasses at a gas station though. That's pretty nice. 

I just can't write, can't summon the...will to write anything! And it's driving me NUTS. I'm pretty sure my FGMS reviewers are going to track me down with torches and pitchforks and go medevil on my ass. And I'm damn sure I'd deserve it at this point...

Ugh. I'm going to bed.

Ye Gods, I can't seem to wring chapter 17 of FGMS out of my head. It just ISN'T working god damnit! I have half a page! HALF A PAGE!! It's been a MONTH since my last update too. I know it's in there somewhere, I know what it is I need to write out for this chapter, but none the less, it insists on staying far, far, far, away...Buggering hell. I suppose I could go do some typing for that Inuyasha fic I've been sercretly working on. That might get my creative jucies flowing...naaah.

In other news, I'm ready for Christmas break! How about you guys? It's my third day of classes, and I'm already ready for them to be done and over with.

Other than that, I thought I'd just tell you guys that I'm sitting under my bed, in my tiny ass dorm room, thinking about taking a nap as soon as I post this...
