My life, or lack thereof

Guess which one someone on my f-list chose to do?

I'm leaving this post un-f-locked, because it's pretty much to somebody not currently on my list. (Though that should change soon, depending on how things go with this.)


Dear you. (You know who you are, I don't have to say your name)

I had unfriended you during the stint of time that you had deleted your journal, as for some reason those crossed-out user names just make me twitch ever so slightly.

We hadn't talked in a while, even on AIM, so I forgot to tell you when I changed AIM names to get away from someone else who was harassing me and I was too chicken to simply block them. I added you onto my new buddy list, though, so I know when you log on and off.


I know you're back now, and you're probably not interested in me any longer, since we haven't spoken in ages, but I just wanted to let you know that, if you want, I'm still here. I'm sorry.

For Kel-chan, and any other people who might be interested

Sometimes, when you think about it, a difference of a half an hour can be quite profound.

Today, my sisters and I went to Wal-Mart, a fifteen minute drive from the house. Everything was fine. No traffic snarls, only a few red lights, that sort of thing. We went about our buisiness and started the journey home.

On our way home, just a mile from our exit, there was an accident on the other side of the interstate. A trailer full of something-or-other in the median, a truck spun around backwards, some cars. I found out later that someone had died in it. Traffic, by 6 o'clock, was backed up five miles.

A half hour before, I had just passed through that area. If we had been a half hour later, we could have been involved in that accident, or just stuck in the traffic with nowhere to go.

When you stop to think about the possibilities, sometimes it just makes you thankful that you're alive and safe. Makes you grateful for your own home, when you think about the people who've lost their homes to fires, tornados, hurricanes, and other disasters.

My schedule for school, so people know when/where to find me:

So that's it. Now you know when to look (or not bother looking) for me.

I killed my laptop motherboard!!!! T___________T NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


How the hell do you kill a motherboard just by opening up the compytron? All I know is that the damned thing no longer turns on at all.

Battery in battery bay: doesn't do a damn thing when I hit power. But that's been a longstanding issue.
Battery in modular bay: causes my LEDs to blink continuously. WTF?
AC power: Lights come on for a second, then die. Double WTF?

And according to Dell, that means the motherboard is FUBAR. And it's not worth the money to replace it, I know...I've had to check that before when my monitor went kaput. Hmm...maybe I can swap the hard drive into the other laptop long enough to put critical files online (since the other lappy will get online, but not connect to the other compytron)

Now, I know it's not usually my style to go pimping stuff....but this has been working pretty well for me, so I figured I might as well.

I was searching for DDR songs online, and came across a pretty nifty site, it has the 2-4th and 7th mix Megamixes, as well as a pretty good selection of individual songs from the 4th and 5th mixes.

This is where I found the MP3s.

However, to get the files, you have to use Peer2Mail, a slightly clunky but otherwise pretty useful program. It allows you to split and upload files to email servers, then make an encrypted version of the password that can be given out, so other users can download the files, but not know your real password or allow them to delete files. It's a bit slow and eats your bandwidth, but it's really a decent program.
