Lost Nano :( but I'll keep on writing, so I'm keeping the wordmeter bar up.

And maybe someday I'll fix my fic tags.

Holy crap, mom just bought me a brand new 19'' LCD monitor! :DDDDD It's set up in all its glorious widescreen goodness right in front of me.

Installing its proper driver is being difficult, though - I've only ever used plug-and-play ones, so I never bothered installing the motherboard's video driver XD *is downloading it now*

So for now everything's streeeeeeeeeeeeetched horizontally. XDD

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

I stayed up to buy a permanent account (it's over midnight here) and it turns out you can't pay with credit cards ;_; none of the other options are available to me (I have a paypal account, but it's empty... and putting money in it actually eats up some money because of different currencies or something, and really, I shouldn't even be considering buying the damn thing, but...)

Damn, I was so looking forward to scrapping the damn ads forever. T____T

Edit: Oh, wait. Apparently there is a way to directly use credit cards through paypal. I never actually used paypal (I made an account in the hopes of receiving donations... that never came, yeah), so I had no idea. Uh, cool *goes to spend money I shouldn't be spending*

Munique is just about despairing because the dog filched a chicken bone from my father's hand and swalled it whole.

On the other side, Pituca would probably not have swallowed it on the spot if she hadn't pounced her on the spot to try and pry it off her muzzle. Now Pituca is just wagging her tail around and Munique is teary-eyed, since no one will be home tomorrow to watch out for perforation symptoms :/ *sigh*

I'm a little worried, too, but there's really no point in worrying now.

Oooh, I think my conjunctivitis is almost gone. My left eye has stopped secreting stuff (though it was still kind of glued closed this morning, blech), doesn't hurt or itch, and you have to pull the lower eyelid to see any redness on it. In my right eye it didn't even go very far along before it fizzled out, and it looks perfectly clean. Hopefully, when I go to the checkup tomorrow the doctor'll let me go back to my life (god I'm so freaking behind on lithography!)

I guess the third doctor really was the charm.

Finally sitting down to type out all the crazy shit that happened to me and my eyes in the last two weeks. Here is a handy timeline:

( Handy timeline all in present tense goes here )

And this is where I am right now. Squinting at the screen since the doctor said I could use the comp if I wanted to.

You know that thing with my eyes? Well, they were doing fine, pretty good, and I was back to my usual computer-using...

Except yesterday one of my eyes started to itch and hurt, and today it's red and swollen. I guess I got conjunctivitis sometime yesterday >__>

Took off the eyepatch, but eyes still hurt. Not bad enough to squint anymore, but enough that I really can't stare at the comp screen too long. Also, can't step out in the daylight :/

I'm boooooooooooored.

Agh. Mishap at university involving chalk powder and my contact lenses ended with me wearing an eyepatch and having to spend the next 10 days eyedropping medicine every two hours. In both eyes.

Also, looking at the screen is painful, so I'm not even checking for typos or anything. :/ So, if I seem to not be around, that would be why.

Details to come when I'm able to stop squinting.

Remember all that moving shtick? Well, a couple hours ago my mother phoned me from our new house saying "take everything out of your desks! We're bringing them here for measuring and stuff".

Now, these desks we have, built by our very own father, are horribly bulky and not built with computers in mind (the size our keyboard stands in is probably the cause of my latest wrist pains). So, sis and me have been formulating some new desks for dad to build (mostly sis - I just draw them pretty) which won't be so horrifukingly unmanageable. In any case, I, as the good daughter I am, did as I was told and unhooked everything, piled my sister's imploded, out-of-control notes into a semblance of order and set them on top of a wardrobe, pulled the drawers out and piled them in a corner (we don't want those drawers in our new desk! they're the worst part of the whole thing), with everything still inside becase we've got nowhere to stick that stuff. I was on the proccess of dragging this plain foldable drinking table into the house, so I'd have somewhere to set my computer up on, when parents arrived. Turns out my father had a similar idea to the one my sister had - mainly, a desk that's actually screwed onto the wall, instead of one with legs. Also, he reacted positively to the revolutionary concept of a keyboard drawer thingie to keep the keyboard on. I'd call that a success.

When I asked why they were taking the desks to the house when they'd have to be heavily modified anyway, Mom explained that Dad was already setting up the bookshelves, and wanted the desks to help picture the finished product or something like that. Cue me cringing. See, my sister also has her own ideas about the shelves (and the wardrobe, and the kitchen, and...), she only hasn't put them on paper (read: coerced me into drawing them) yet. Right now she's at work, and will probably be back in an hour or so, with all the jolly good humor a teacher usually has at the end of the week.

I can almost hear her screaming already. :<

Also, this foldable drinking table won't fit the keyboard and my tablet together :< Munique uses a laptop, but the lack of a table will still piss her off...

Well, that explains it all.

In other news, I just found out they're planning an orthographic reformulation for both brazilian and european portuguese languages. Some of the changes make sense, but most of them strike me as just catering to people who didn't pay enough attention during portuguese class in the first 4 years of basic education. So, we're doing away with the graphical accent that helped differentiate otherwise identically written words? Why, so we can have an even greater number of conjunctions, prepositions, verb conjugations and substantivs that are written the same but have different meanings? That's stupid. Also, I think anti-social looks better than antissocial, and would like the hifen to remain where it is, but this is just a personal gripe.

I know about 5% of what there is to know about the Chthulhu mythos, but this was still awesome. XDD

ETA: For whatever reason, IJ deleted the embedded video and everything after it. Here goes the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut82TDjciSg the embedded movie should come right after this. If it doesn't... well, I'll know IJ doesn't like youtube :/

Advanced

You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels' questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

Watched first half of Dr. Who finale. Pu asked me to send her my reactions even if she were away on aim... except she logged off :< so I'm posting them here for everyone to see. Cut for spoilers~

( First: wow, dizzy. Rotating camera~ )

Started writing a little something that turned into a HUGE SOMETHING and ended up having to be heavily snipped to fit the 4300 characters limit.

The prompt was: Final Fantasy VII, Cloud/Tifa, teenage sex - she found daddy's liquor stash and...

The result may or may not be considered AU (I mean, they could just not remember it afterwards... you know... thinking it was a naughty dream or something). I like to think it could generate all sorts of fun AUs, though.

The heavily snipped version is here, the complete version will come later after a couple readthroughs.

You can also find the Het Porn Battle here. It needs a lot more loving than it's been getting so far.
