A Stroke of Bad Luck

Sun, 12 Nov 2006 12:09:39 GMT

Maybe the title is an understatement.

I have been having computer issues all weekend. Had to use system recovery, lost a lot of files... I won't even go there.

I went to bed a few hours ago, and woke up because of the cat, then realized my computer wasn't on. I thought maybe it fell asleep or something, so I pressed on my keyboard. Nothing happened. Tried again. Still nothing.

I couldn't even turn off my computer. So I shut it down from the back, and nothing came up during the reboot. Shut if off, then turned it on again. Still nothing. Third time's a charm, I guess, since it felt like working once I disconnected/reconnected some wires.

I decided to start backing up everything to a CD, just in case my computer decides to die. I remember Cyde's "Computer Life" speech, and how mine is on the verge of death (or that it should be dead already, I don't know). I got it in 2003- it's only 3 years old. Anyway, my CD Drive doesn't work anymore. It can't read CDs for some reason, so that's that... I now have to rely on a flash drive, which is kind of hard of me to do, since I have over 5 MB of files to back up. I know my father won't let me store his files on his laptop, so I have to buy like... 5 of those flash drives at 50 bucks each :(

I'm afraid to let my computer restart now. It was fine today... maybe it just spazzed?

OH MY GOD

Movies

Sun, 27 Aug 2006 22:03:12 GMT

I saw Chicken Little for the first time today. Right after two hours of Finding Nemo.

Chicken Little is probably the weirdest movie ever. The plot was all over the place for me and I think they tried too hard to be funny that it was just... overdone, I think.

I don't like Nemo much, and I have no idea why. The animation and characters are amazing, but I just never liked it. And... that little girl... Darla, I swear to God, she'll give any kid nightmares.

I wish I knew where my Toy Story DVD was... (the first one, don't care for the sequel)

Wow.

She said three words once it ended: "What the fuck?"

More Scientific

You have:
77% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and
62% EMOTIONAL INTUITION

The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored above average on emotional intuition and well above average on scientific intuition.Your scientific intuition is stronger than your emotional intuition.

Your Emotional Intuition score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you're good at Quake.

Your Scientific Intuition score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the sciences.

I just got back from Fry's. Not empty-handed though.

I really wanted to get a box set of Stargate (preferably season 1), so I made my way to the DVD section. To my absolute disgust, THERE WASN'T ANY IN STOCK, but they had an ENTIRE SECTION devoted to Smallville. Keep in mind, I like Smallville, but it's turned into a soap opera... so I stopped watching SOMEONE (Sorry Katherine XD) died... D:

Johnny was with me, and now must accompany me everywhere because of what happened this morning. On the way, he randomly told me, "Christine. When I was at Petsmart, I saw two cats having sex. You should have taken a picture." I'm all, "SDFSDFHJ CDJSDJ O____O" and just wtf. D:

Anyway, so I went to the DS section because I was hoping to find Phoenix Wright somewhere, but nooooooo.... so instead, I bought Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and DBZ Sagas (since Johnny wouldn't STFU) and made my way home.

But now I can't play, because he's hogging the GC.

*sad*

PEANUTS

Sun, 23 Jul 2006 01:54:08 GMT

Hmm.

Well, the weekend consisted of nothing but moving things around and weirdness... like, I was moving Filmore (FYI Andrew, he's a FISH ;P) to my room, but my mom freaked out and was all, "OMG WHY IS MY FISH IN THERE" and I'm all, "WELL YOU WERE NEGLECTING IT." So... I just put the fish back. :(

When your parent has an accent, it's funny. Like today, we were talking about my brother's friend being confused about his identity... he claims that he wants to kill himself, but anyway...

Mom: Maybe he's gay?
Me: I doubt it, he had a crush on Michael's girlfriend.
Mom: He sounds like a girl.
Me: Not really.
Mom: That poor boy...
Me: I know, there's something wrong with that prodigy.
Mom: Do you think he wants to cut off his peanuts?
Me: What?
Mom: His peanuts.
Me: He has peanuts?
Mom: He's a boy, of course.
Me: So why would he want to cut off his supply of peanuts?
Mom: (does a gesture of her chopping a finger, near her thigh)
Me: Wait. His... pe...n...is...? (I have a hard time saying that word XD)
Mom: Yes! His PEANUTS!

So when my mom says that word, it sounds like 'peanuts.' Hahaha, wtf D:

Now. Off to shower. And Stargate. :)

JOHNNY CUT THE IMAGES OUT OF MY POKEMON CARDS

AND I'M PISSED >:(

A Whole Lotta Nothin

Sun, 16 Jul 2006 08:15:01 GMT

So today consisted of me catching up on some artwork and shows. Goodie! XD

As long as there's heat and that nasty orange thing outside we know as the sun, I'm staying inside. I don't want to get skin cancer. :(

Today's highlight probably would have been Stargate. Andrew suggested that I watch the premiere of Season 10 (or any Stargate for that matter), so I did, and I LOVED IT. :D Apart from creepy Ori girl and the blind Prior I must say that the show is very awesome. I'm going to see if I can get my hands on a season box set (or two) and pull a marathon... if he can do it, so can I!

Ori ships remind me of ping pong paddles though. XD

Gonna get back to some artwork, need to finish an icon and work on some pending images:

[-So Much Crap!-]

CAFFEINE FTW

International Ditch Christine Day

Sun, 09 Jul 2006 04:06:19 GMT

I think today was "International Ditch Christine Day." Everyone ('cept for Beccaling and Keith, but he's always busy) had their away messages up and/or was idle. Even my offline friends who tend to be online a lot weren't around. So I spoke to Becca for a bit, then left, only to come back to see that everyone else was still gone. :(

And. I was going to give someone an image they needed today, but they never signed on... and one of the people I tutor refuses to pick up their phone... D:

I decided to just stop waiting and signed off to play a game by myself... I even saw this eyetoy thing at Target today, but I rather not buy it right now... mainly because Michael's girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and he might need some money for a gift... (he already spent his own money on another gift)

Spent the rest of the evening in IRC. Keith sent me a horrifying image... D:

So, since I had nothing better to do and wanted to kill time, I drew that weird Pearl legendary with lack of a decent reference XD

That's it...

Hmm.

Mon, 03 Jul 2006 22:59:13 GMT

I'm getting a stupid AVS error on LJ which is preventing me from allowing to pay... D:

*kicks basic account status*

I wonder why it's doing that... :/

OMG THOSE CHARGES BETTER BE TEMPORARY D:

A stroke of pure genius!

Mon, 03 Jul 2006 05:43:57 GMT

So, I finished my assignment... well, not exactly. I finished like 95% of it (thanks to my friend's help) and yeah... he and I were working on our problems and we just gave up because we were tired and got sick of it all :(

(And Heather, how's your new job coming along? :P)

OH. AND. A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING A "STUDY-FOR-OUR-MIDTERMS" BONFIRE. XD It's so clever and stupid that I *really* want to go XD

Um. Is it normal for your kitten to eat potato salad, corn, brownies and the like?

MATH MUST DIE

Wed, 28 Jun 2006 09:05:42 GMT

I can't believe I spent 4 damn hours on a *single* math problem, making the same mistake over and over, and getting no correct marks. I had no one around to look over my work, so I did the best I could... I looked over and over and over my work again, until it hit me at about 1:45am... I forgot to distribute one negative sign, and everything after that just went into the crapper. D: Every time I worked it out, it took like a sheet of paper, and I have 10 sheets on my desk. x__X All of the other problems were fine, and I was at 98% accuracy- but I didn't want to send anything until I got the right answer. ;/

I have to get ready for my first class soon, but I'm just too tired from that one problem... bleh.

Anyway, earlier today Johnny decided to be a hole by sticking his soiled underwear on my doorknob so I couldn't get into my room without touching it. I forced him to remove it before I'd wash my doorknob.. because, it's well... Johnny's underwear. He's also fond of Ash's litterbox... he was digging for something I think. What it was, I really don't want to know.

Oh, and before lights out Johnny decided to point at my dad's "down there" and say, "WOW! Anyone can suck that!" He ended up in huge trouble and went to bed early. XD

...Yeahhhhh

C'est la vie

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 04:26:22 GMT

I haven't been able to update much... well, because I'm lazy. :x I guess I'll post what I've been up to.

I've been spending more time studying since I decided to get ahead in my classes by taking a summer term, plus it keeps my mind off things...

Johnny asked for a new pet after Pearl died. The decision was up to me, and since I wouldn't be around as much and Johnny doesn't have very many friends ( he and I are both shy :( ) I decided to take him to the pound and get a pet:

We made our way to the animal shelter, which is um... somewhat closer to Mexico than we live... XD anyway it's a nice looking shelter.

We proceeded to the kitten room and this one kitten, that is somewhat retarded, ran into the glass window to greet us.

We found his card and Johnny was like, "I want that one!" I asked him if he was certain and he was pretty sure of it.

We looked at some more kittens. I was told that if I adopted one, I could have another for free. Sadly, we don't have the time for another kitten, so we just decided on one.

When we returned to the main lobby, there was this man trying to turn in a cat he found... he didn't have a carrier, so he stuck the cat into a trashcan, poked holes in it and dropped it off. XD

Anyway, we chose our kitten and waited to get him from the people who... worked there. o_o While waiting, I asked if I could see the dogs.

I was quite surprised to see a golden retriever there. Being the hard-headed person I am, I disobeyed the "NO HANDS IN THE CAGES" sign and stroked the dog.

Petting this one would probably have been a bad idea though.

Again, seeing these poor animals makes me sad. :(

We came back in and saw a big dog in there. Someone was adopting a dog out! I was so happy for the dog, I love animals and hate seeing them in the shelter. :( (The cop was there to help the new owner)

He's here now, and wow, he's a playful little one! He chases after anything that moves, jumps in your face if you blink and even eats Carne Asada Fries! XD He's no Pearl though, but he is special in his own way. He also likes RuneScape.

His name is Ash, but he also responds to "Cowy" (Andrew's crazy suggestion) and "Cojones." XD

I don't know if I put myself in a trap though; Ash is a sickly kind of kitten and anything may happen... it's just so sad how 70% of animals placed in pounds here are euthanized (Source: San Diego Pet Magazine) because no one can give them a home. :'(

That ends this entry. Sorry for its... longness...

Who will it be?

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 03:25:07 GMT

Quick entry.

Anyway, Johnny started complaining about having a stomachache while we were in the car picking up dinner. When we came home he ran from the front all the way to the bathroom. I put the pizza in the kitchen (Pizza is the Hoegemeier dinner) and helped myself to some breadsticks.

Then I hear laughing from the hallway and see Chris and Mike standing at the bathroom door. They tell me to look in, and this is what I see:

Johnny on the toilet, all tired out. Of course he was taking a dump... but he missed. And that's because there was crap all over the toilet, toilet seat, sink, trash can, bathtub, AND THE WALL. I don't know how it happened or what caused the poo-explosion, but now everyone's trying to decide who's going to clean him.

It's probably going to be me because... "CHRISTINE, PLEASE CLEAN ME" is all we hear from the bathroom.

I'd post a picture, but that's just sick.

EDIT: We had our mother come and clean him. XD

:(

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 02:59:37 GMT

Pearl (my kitten) died today.

She came down with something horrible that included a feline virus, hypothermia, low blood sugar count, low protein count, a screwed up colon and a respiratory problem. We rushed her to the hospital after her breathing became abnormal and we were told that she wasn't going to make it. The decision came down to me; I had to put her down, but not before saying farewell to her.

Although I don't remember it well, I went into her isolation chamber to say goodbye. Seeing her hooked up to so many things made me break down and cry. I apologized to her- "I'm sorry this had to happen to you, Pearl." She used the last bit of her strength to get up and try to move towards me, but she fell over. I stroked her and told her that I won't ever forget and stop loving her and turned away so the vet could do her work.

I came home and booted up the internet, to send an email telling I won't be working tomorrow. It signed me onto GT, then Andrew IMed me (he had to catch me at a bad time) so I took out my frustration on him. That was the last thing I would ever want to do to a friend, so I'm really sorry, buddy. :(

I told him that if there was a "God," why would He do this? Let a poor animal take the punishment for someone else's sins? Pearl didn't need this; why wouldn't He punish me? For someone so high and mighty, He must get a kick out of seeing someone suffer over and over. I guess He enjoys tearing my (and many others') heart into pieces.

Now there's an empty bed with her little toy mouse. Even though I had her for two weeks, it seemed like a lifetime.

On a happier note...

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 22:04:17 GMT

So, I thought today would be a good day for fast food. Why not get some Burger King?

So, after eating a nutritious meal, it was time for dessert:

Mmhmm. Makes me want to come back and order some more.

I went to my room to check on Pearl, my kitten. She ransacked my bed and it made me very, very sad (I think this is the picture):

Of course, this made me even sadder:

Those Random Bubbles

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 04:59:31 GMT

I finally did *SOMETHING* with the layout... it's still not done... I have to do ~~userpic~~ (I don't think I can do this in the style without an override), music, calendar, the links on the page, the mapping... but I don't know what to do with the top right of the layout, so I just stuck this massive bubble there.

Rather than doing an override, I created a style with some outside help. Drew the image, slapped it on there, and did SO MANY things with tables... D: Embed this, embed that... yeah. It would make the Lord cry. :(

I still have to do my friends page too, so for now, they're stuck on a stinky page... blehhhhhh.

I'm going to sleep, I'll try to post some pictures of my kitten in the next entry.
