Mimmi- I've never had the flexibility or strength in my back/ankles to limbo properly, and it's never exactly been one of my life ambitions, so I guess it's only a minor thing ^_^;

Shin- The slowdown never bothered me particularly- the main reason I got bored was that you couldn't play as the Skedar in multiplayer, heh. I know...

Sennen- The annoying thing about NIS is that in a few months I'll have to pay for it all over again for subscription services, and it's still not working decently enough on a regular basis.

Karmi- Ah, sleep... I look forward to it less when I have to change the sheets (as I did last niht), but it's still great. I was quite pleased to wake up at midnight and realise I still had another eight hours in bed ^______^

Aleia- I thought I saw someone familiar ^_~

Wondershot- I don't like ambiguity. But when it's me that's direcly involved in the ambiguity it's just that much more frustrating, heh, cause I can't feel that I can actually go anywhere. But yes, OSFP does sound good. I still think of new story and character aspects for that, hehe.

The Square Root of all Evil
I have come to the conclusion that all computers are evil, especially those which are old, new or have been mistreated. There's a stage in their lifespan just before middle-age when everything runs peachy, and when one extra, often tiny thing is added to their CPUs that they should easily be able to handle, everything just goes completely kaput.

Aside from the ludicrously slow downloading of websites (especially noticeable on MyO and OB- I've spent five minutes opening the Backroom in another window and it's still not finished yet), my computer has now decided that it doesn't want to write to CD-Rs or play specific sound files. And that was even after Steam refused to work and CCapp started crashing every time you started another program. Whoop-dee-doo.

Except it's not just mine that's going wrong now- the shared PC downstairs has had Norton AntiVirus crap up on it and Dad's abused it far too much anyway; Lawrence's has caught a major virus which means he can't get past the ScanDisk screen and hence, can't even get onto the internet to download this tool to get rid of the stupid thing, and when I try to save the tool to disc to hand to him tomorrow the fact that InCD is irremoveable from the hard-drive and also starts up whenever you insert any kind of disc into the E-drive means it crashes 33 seconds into any formatting processes it tries to carry out.

It's almost as if there were to be some kind of apocalypse... o_o;

I was going to get on AIM tonight, but I think my computer's more likely to blow up or transport me to some unknown dimension than do anything as simple as send an IM.

These things are evil. VERY evil.

Calm Blue Oceans...
Aside from that I've had a pretty good day. I went into Portsmouth and bought some stuff and I'm still annoyed at the lack of wolf-races in any playable form in Action RPGs. Cat and lizard-people are more satisfying finds, but even then everything else is a standard mix of humans- dark elves, wood elves, high elves, barbarians, run-of-the-mill humans, halflings, dwarfs, gnomes... what's the bloody difference? All you have is a slight variation of skin colour, perhaps a change in height or ear length/shape and that's it. I know I have an unhealthy obsession with things like that, but it's not as if they're really trying to cater for everyone's tastes.

I guess being interrupted by a long, depressing phonecall has put a damper on this evening, heh ^_^; Sorry about that. It's just so irritating when so many things go wrong at once and all you can do is sit in the middle. It's not even as if I've been able to get on with anything constructive while various problems have been sorted out, because I need the photocopier and/or computer to do what I need, and they're in the way.

Raar.

EDIT: Ooh, I was expecting the post submission to take ages, but it actually went through straight away. Hurrah for servers working properly!
