Today, I have a very important task that I will do anything to conquer. It will require stealth, shrewdness, and an acuity of the mind unlike any other challenge she has faced.


I will get my Coca Cola Icee if it's the last thing I do.

GUYS. I need a magic wand to FIX MY COMPUTER.


For WEEKS I've been seeing this message 'Your C:(!@#$%) Drive is running VERY low on memory. Click here to delete unnecessary files, remove/uninstall programs you don't use'.


Do I need a new computer? I don't know how to transfer things from the C drive to the data drive without MESSING UP ALL MY PROGRAMS. There's some I don't even use, but... :( I don't know what to do and I'm freaking out because...I have a LOT of important documents on this computer, it was my college computer, it has tons of my school work, papers, etc.

THEN, there's the MUSIC. iTunes has to save this file on the C: drive, whereas I've MOVED all the music files from the C drive to my external harddrive (which I almost killed a few months ago after pushing everything off the lappie when I spilled root beer ALL OVER the right side of the keyboard)...

I'm clumsy, I can't help it.

Help *cries*

I'm also reticent to consider purchasing another laptop because the next computer purchase I want to make is for a Mac. But those dang things are EXPENSIVE. And I want it primarily to be my partner in crime in school (whenever school deigns me worthy enough NOT TO REJECT ME *not bitter*)

Please offer solutions and peanut butter balls. I need some peanut butter to soothe my soul now.


/random, random, is random: also, I NEED A PEANUT BUTTER ICON. lol /random

Look at the number of LJ entries.

Luckily this post will change that number.

guys.


I have the best flist ever.

Seriously.

I just got a gift in the mail, totally opened it early but WHATEVS, it's SNAIL MAIL AND DEMANDED TO BE OPENED.

I got a Hermione light up wand!!! LOL, it was on my Amazon list...I think. a fluke

:DDDDDDD I think I know who sent it, but it doesn't even matter - I've had so much fun with it in the past hour. At first, I freaked because I couldn't find triple A batteries, but then I took some out of one of my remotes for SOMETHING and voila! IT WORKED! And then I proceeded to dance around my room FLICKING MY VINE WAND!!! Because guess WHY?!?!?! IT TURNS ON WHEN YOU FLICK IT! Or tap it against a table or ...hard surface. And it gets brighter when you push on a button, and then can get lighter/softer! :DDDDDDDD

I'm SO FREAKIN' EXCITED FOR MY WAND, Y'ALL!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to whomever gave me my wand!! I'm a friggin' adult but this makes me happy like a 5 year old girl who just caught Santa coming down the chimney!!!

OMG I LOVE YOU THANK YOU!!!!! You don't have to identify yourself, but if you do - I'll proclaim my love to you far and wide!! :D ♥♥♥♥♥

*big hugs* *biglove*

Wednesday morning I head off to Target for my boss, and I decide to go into downtown before making my way out of that area to get to the store, when I'm passing my alumni: the campus of UHD (my school).

So I'm driving along the (very small) bridge which is over a bayou and where the metro train stops, and I look to my left and see traffic being somewhat blocked, and then I notice...

There's a young black girl standing on the bridge wall. She's holding on to this pole thing really tightly, and she's crying.

My first thought (sadly) is 'This bridge is not high enough to create enough impact to the water to kill her.' And this is in rapid succession: 'This day must have been too much for her', THEN, 'What the HELL GUYS??? PULL HER OFF THE WALL SHE'S JUST STANDING THERE HOLDING ON TO A POLE!!!' And then I thought. 'Man. I really didn't want to see a jumper today. ARGH!! ...Poor girl.'

And as I'm thinking all this crap as I'm driving, (I've already passed her WAY BACK WHEN) I realize if I'd been able to just pull over somewhere, ANYWHERE without blocking stupid Houston traffic, I would've just run up from behind (where she wouldn't have noticed me, and manhandled her to the ground. I don't even think I would've cared if she hit her head on the ground, she was SO YOUNG. It just makes me so upset to see this and the same dialogue runs through my head... It's not worth it to just try and take your life away when it hasn't even started... I just wanted to scream that at her, but I wasn't, wouldn't, didn't. The cop had just gotten there as I was passing them, and cops turn off my internal alarms. Which is quite amusing, seeing as I work in a law office and half the relatives of the other partner are cops.

And the kicker! I promoted Ingrid Michaelson to some friends through email, and if I did that from ingrid's website, it says that we'd be thanked with a special download after the album was released (which I bought from iTunes :)) So, I receive this email late afternoon when I'm watching the clock and staring as the minute hand starts to move in super slow snail speed (haha, all the 's' words, there's an English term for that), and I get all excited because this is what makes desk workers excited-new music- and I look at the title of the track. (Background info-back in junior high someone in my grade committed suicide, then in every year of high school someone I personally KNEW committed suicide, the short of it - I promised myself that I would never commit suicide) So 3 years ago I acquired this documentary titled 'The Bridge'. It's about the San Francisco bridge. Jumpers, basically. So when I see the title of the song, I think back to that documentary, and then I get sad because I remember my promise, and the friends I had before they decided things were too much.

And I think, please no...

Ingrid has a song about suicidal people, and the lyrics are...aptly put, but still disturbing. And I didn't like this coincidence at all. LOL Goodness. This job is quite surely numbing my emotions and aptitude for empathy.


That's sad.

How's everyone else out there??

*sigh*

Apparently my posts will come in a 'pouring' manner, ...when it rains it 'pours'

Went to the ER with my mom this morning. Vertigo and low blood sugar (mom). I found her on the floor. Very scary.

I'm so tired. Dead tired.

Back home now. bye bye

HEE HEE HEE!!!! I have an hour and 6 minutes before I miss my deadline for today. :P

So, what made me happy?

1) It was a beautiful day today (yay!)
2) I was able to sleep in! ♥
3) So many people responded (and commented) on my Happy!Meme post yesterday! (YAY!!!)
4) I had work money to spend on getting supplies for the office; I got a tall table from Walmart for the printer in my little office, too. (Money to spend that wasn't mine!! WOOHOO!)
5) Planning for a friends' baby shower is finally working out! Date-wise anyway, hopefully, LOL!
6) risiepookie CALLED TODAY!!!!!! I didn't get to speak with her directly, but she left a wonderful voicemail for me and I ♥ her so much. What a treat! We have gotten to talk like...at least once in the past 3 weeks. I am so blessed. She's such a wonderful person. A wonderful friend. LOVE HER. It's such a gift to get to hear from her! I must have looked like a ditz, grinning from ear to ear when I got her voicemail.
7) My FLIST, my LJ, it all makes me happy! I love the header that obiwahn made of Echo and Claire from Dollhouse (which is still an awesome show! It's not too late to become a fan!!!!) I love checking the flist when I have a minute at work, something from you guys always makes me smile.
8) I got to listen to music at work and it was great! I'm such a boring person, LOL! I just love listening to music, whenever, where ever, gah!
9) My job makes me happy everyday, even when I know my boss is frustrated with me, or because I lose something (but not permanently) I'm so happy to have that job, LOL! It's such an opportunity.
10) My family! They waited for me to come home so we could watch Dancing with the Stars together! And dad was home too! It's been so nice to have him around more often. And he's had so much work with his job, too. What a blessing.
EDIT////11) WELCOME NEW FRIEND!!! xnight_owlx, THIS MADE ME DOUBLY HAPPY!
Okay, way too much boring stuff! Oh, but I love this meme. Other people should totally join in, even if YOU haven't been tagged. I WASN'T TAGGED BUT I WANTED TO DO IT, SO I JUST SNAGGED IT!
*skips around happily* Yes, I iz DORK :B

Alright flist - need your help.

I need some hip hop recommendations. The only thing hindering this is the fact that I prefer clean lyrics/edited versions. SO - rec me some music! I ordered some sennheiser headphones online after a recommendation from a friend and reading about them at a few sites. :D Give me some good music to rock out on.

anyway, gotta go check seats at a concert arena for Monday - talk later :)

I need to go back to school!!! Elementary school!!!

*cough* Each word has a link.

1 pill, 875 MG Amoxicillin
2 spoonfuls Cherutussin
1 dose of Nyquil
