the random post - spring LJ cleaning edition

[janie_tangerine]

1. So, yesterday my computer scared the hell out of me because it went and crashed on its own. I mean shut down. Which I've been dreading since some time considering that I've had it since I was fifteen. Then I realized that lately I had completely forgot to clean it and so after spending the morning opening the whole HD and cleaning everything I put somewhat it back together and it started again. *phew* But oh, did I get scared.

2. Yahoo is being an idiot. Because I get the message with the e-mail notifications but when I try to go on the e-mail the site won't load. Which means that if I'm not answering comments I can't access my e-mail and can't exactly check where I was answered out of guessing. *shoots Yahoo* I wish I managed to use Outlook. I clearly fail at some basic technology.

3. New layout (partially, I kept the header) and new profile layout, too. I've also cleaned the profile up and put all the banners in one post only so that it doesn't clutter too much. I've also finally put the master fic list on par since I hadn't touched it in months. I still need to change some icons around and fix stuff in the layout but I'm liking the whole thing so far.

Also, I ended up not cutting anyone of the infamous I-don't-have-the-basic-idea-of-who-you-are group, but I don't know if I'll end up doing it anyway sometime soon. Uhm, for the tenth time, if you friended me and we didn't talk/I didn't add you back, talk to me? *sigh*

4. Tomorrow = the twelve hours' at school day. Shoot me. I hate Tuesdays already.

5. When I'm done, I'll probably spam you again with the remaining of the battle ficlets of January. So that you know. ;)

6. Dear my muse, why don't you cooperate and let me finish the fourteen stories I need to finish instead of hitting me with weird AU plots? Thanks, no love, me.

(Explanation: I was at the grocery shop with my mp3 on random, Born In The USA started and I suddenly decided that a story with Sawyer as a former soldier in Vietnam would have been a good AU. I clearly don't need such a thing to add to the load of fic I should finish.)

7. That's be all for now. *waves and hopes that Yahoo comes back to sanity*

When I still had my old laptop, towards the tail end of its days it would sometimes do that for what seemed to be no reason (I eventually worked out the battery was crap and while it was plugged in to charge, Old Laptop thought the battery was flat.)

Still I'd had the thing since 2002, and its previous owner bought it in 2000, so to last until October of last year meant it had a good life!

I wasn't saying that though the day it munched "The Five Greatest Regrets of Sayid Jarrah".

Would have been so annoyed if there was a real problem (can't post O6 Boone from my mobile easily!)

O6 Boone!!! *dies* Uhm, yes, what were we saying? ;)

Ouch, when they die and eat fic is horrible. Actually it reminds me I have to bring unfinished fic in the external HD, at least if it crashes I don't lose anything. And wow, eight years is a lot!
