SHOUTING THREAD!! OMG I SPENT MOST OF LAST NIGHT GENERATING ONE, YES ONE, PAGE OF TEXT FOR A 12 PAGE REPORT AND MY STUPID, BATTERY-LESS COMPUTER WAS UNPLUGGED, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE BY TWO UNNAMED FAMILY MEMBERS, ONE QUITE FUZZY AND NOT USUALLY INTO CORDS...→[More:]

I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER MOST OF THE DOCUMENT BUT ON MIGRATING IT TO GOOGLE DOCS TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN I DISCOVERED I DIDN'T SAVE THE MOST RESENT RECOVERY, I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO SAVE THE MUCH EARLIER, CRAPPIER DRAFT. AAAARRRG! NOW I WILL NOT GET THIS THING DONE IN TIME TO GO TO MY FRIENDS MOVIE NIGHT WHICH WAS THE MOTIVATION FOR ME SPENDING VALENTINE'S READING MARKETING REPORTS INSTEAD OF MAKING DELICIOUS CAKE. I'LL BE LUCKY IF I GET TO BAD ON TIME, AND IT'S ONLY 3PM.

WHY DID NO-ONE TELL ME THAT YAKULT TASTED SORT OF LIKE LEMON CHEESECAKE? I WOULD HAVE BEEN GULPING DOWN THOSE SUCKERS YEARS AGO INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR MY STOMACH TO STAGE ITS USUAL ANTIBIOTIC REVOLT! ARRRRRGGHHH!

(Also, sakura - that really bites. Would you accept a hug from a now only slightly-queasy bunny?)

THE FRACKING BUTLER KIDNAPPED BABY STEPHANIE IN SIMS 2 AND AFTER GOOGLING I FIND THAT IT'S A BUG IN THE GAME!

I HATE SCHOOL, THERE, I SAID IT. I HATE WHERE I LIVE, IT'S BORING AND STUPID. I HATE SPENDING ALL DAY IN CLASS AND MY DAYS AT HOME ALONE. I HATE THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF HOMEWORK I HAVE TO DO.

OMG ARDIRIL I HATE THAT. ALSO HATE IT WHEN THE GUESTS WON'T BLOODY LEAVE, LIKE CAN'T THEY TAKE A FUCKING HINT? AND THEN THEY DON'T EVEN DIE, BUT THEY KEEP PEEING EVERYWHERE AND WHINGING AND ANNOYING ME.

TONIGHT I MADE MYSELF A DINNER FOR ONE THAT TOOK EVERY BURNER I HAD ON MY STOVE AND NOW I'M REPASTING ON A FANTASTIC PASTA ARRABIATA WITH CHICKEN AND FRESH ASPARAGUS AND BROCCOLI AND I NEVER COOK AND I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING MYSELF OUT ON A HUGE DATE FROM USING MY ENTIRE STOVE!

BARELY AN HOUR IN A HOUSE WITH CATS LEAVES ME A SNEEZING, WATERY-EYED, WHEEZING MESS AND 75% OF MY FRIENDS HAVE CATS HOW IS THAT FAIR?

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO CLIP THE CAT'S CLAWS AND IT'S NOT GOING WELL. THE MOM CAT HOWLED A LOT BUT I MANAGED TO CUT ALL FOUR PAWS. THE DAUGHTER CAT IS PROVING TO BE A MORE DIFFICULT CUSTOMER, SO FAR I'VE ONLY GOTTEN ONE PAW DONE.

CLIP ONE CLAW A DAY, STEALTH STYLE! WITH FUSSY CATS IT'S A GREAT SOLUTION.

I LIKE THE WAY "FUSSY CATS" LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME KINDA SCHMUTZ STUCK TO MY MONITOR!

STEWRIFFIC! TRY CLARITIN OVER THE COUNTER! I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, LUCKILY MY FRIENDS ARE HAPPY TO GIVE ME ONE WHEN I'M OVER SO I'M NOT A SNEEZE-FEST!

posted by hellojed 15 February | 22:44

I GOT THEM ALL CLIPPED BUT NOW THEY BOTH HATE ME. AT LEAST THEY'RE DISARMED.

posted by octothorpe 15 February | 22:47

CLARITIN DOESN'T WORK FOR SHIT ON ME! NEITHER DOES ZYRTEC! NO! NO! THE ONLY DAMN DRUG THAT WORKS IS FREAKING BENADRYL! AND BENADRYL ISN'T SOMETHING I CAN ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
WHOOPS, FELL ASLEEP THERE FOR A SECOND. BENADRYL ISN'T SOMETHING I CAN TAKE DURING THE DAYTIME OR ANY OTHER TIME I NEED TO ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, BE AWAKE. BUT THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION ANYWAY. IT'S THE NOT-ABLE-TO-BREATHE PART THAT'S THE WORST, FRANKLY.

THE CENTRAL LINE WAS DOWN THIS EVENING SO I HAD TO GET THE BUS FROM STRATFORD TO WHIPPS CROSS AND THEN ANOTHER BUS TO NEAR WHERE I LIVE AND THEN WALK FROM THERE, AND IT TOOK AGES AND NOW I'M COLD AND HUNGRY.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT DINNER IS COOKING - VEGGIES ARE STEAMING IN THE MICROWAVE AND I AM HAVING THIS WITH THE VEGGIES, WHICH WILL COOK IN THE MICROWAVE TOO.

AND IT'S AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL TONIGHT!!
