snapdragon76: this is made of win and awesome (Default)
Grrr... my computer's been pissing me off lately. Just today, I had to shut down and restart four times!!!! I came thisclose to commiting seppukku over my keyboard (which would have been messy). My major problem is trying to get Netscape to come up (IE is still giving me problems). *huffs*

Meanwhile, there's a few people who are trying to set me up on a date with this one guy (who'll be visiting in a few weeks). I'm not going for it, though. For one thing, I'm not attracted to him (he's seems like a very nice guy, but still) and he's too young for me. I mean, I wouldn't mind having him as strictly a friend, but that's all. Short of saying "Back off" though, I'm in a bit of a tricky situation.

I'm on my dad's computer because I can't even get my computer to load Windows correctly! It's been doing this for awhile - I just keep restarting and restarting and at some point it might start working, but then mess up again. The internet won't work nor will any programs work because there's "not enough quota" or some crap. I am so ready to kill it - I actually shook it at some point -__- It had BETTER start working before I leave for school or I'm royally screwed.

Well, my computer's the only one in the house with Internet access (another bone of contention, BTW), so if it quits working, I'm majorly screwed!

My dad doesn't normally leave his laptop behind, so when it's not here I'm in as much trouble as you :(

I usually only have to restart twice a day. *sporks computer*

But I love the quote, and that song! (Has flashbacks to a Rocketshippy song-fic she fortunately didn't write)

I don't miss having to go through that with my computer, and I hate to ask, but are you using Windows? o_O (I use a Mac, and back when we had too many Windows programs made specifically for Macs on it, it was always freezing! I finally got fed up, tossed all of the Windows 'contaminates', reinstalled the computer, and it worked just fine after that. I don't understand how anyone could put up with that...)

And ugh! I hate when my friends would try to set me up on blind dates. They don't really know what I'm looking for in a guy anyway, and just because he's "fun" doesn't mean I think the same. Good luck preventing a really awkward situation though. X_x

At the moment I'm at the Public Library because We had a power outage last night, and even though we have restored the power, my comp is not working. It's not so bad, but I have a time limit!

Thanks! I got a book of quotes that I got it from. I have a bunch of Pat Benetar songs. My favorite one is the one used in the movie "The Legend of Billie Jean." I don't remember the title as of the moment.

AS to the computer, currently on on the library comp because we had a power outage last night and my computre hasn't been able to turn on, even though our power is restored. I hope I don't have to get a new one, because I have a bunch of pis on mine and a lot of bookmarks. Grrr!

Yeah, I use Windows. I think it's because I have a lot of stuff on my computer and it's slowing it down. Currently, I'm not having a problem with it since I'm using a library computer because our power went out last night. It's back on, but my comp won't turn on for some reason...
