Argh, my eye!
No, not a reference to Polyphemus (...though I do need to do some Classics homework). My left eye has gone a little bananas, in that it's nearly completely bloodshot. As long as there's no force beam coming out of it, it's absolutely fine, I'm sure, but eye drops have, thus far, had little effect.
Yes... why was I posting again? Ah, that's it. Anna (you know who you are). Please e-mail me and give me assurance of your continued survival. I've just realised something completely crap - my draft of that GF bunny we worked on last year, Meche/Dom, died with my computer. I had a cunning plan for that, too, damn it.
I've had computer turmoil over the last couple of weeks. I have (comparatively) just gained my own PC, Windows XP, a beauty of a machine, new 19 inch monitor... and then, as soon as I'm all happy and working on it, it tries to automatically update and then proceeds to crash and die on me. [Insert large, melodramatic, cliché 'NOOOOOO!' here.]
I'm not quite sure what caused this problem, but I assume it can be put down to malware eating through the system, as the computer is comparatively old. Nonetheless, the only solution was to reinstall the operating system and start all over again; a tragic loss of a lot of work, even more fanfic and many, many photos which have all joined the choir invisible. Additionally, my speakers are now refusing to work; incredibly vexing indeed, as I can no longer annoy people by playing Adiemus over and over.
Thank goodness I'm starting all over again with new subjects this year. I (rather foolishly) am doing four essay based subjects: English Literature; Classical Civilisations (woo Greek literature!); History; Politics; finishing off my Maths AS level with a unit of Decision (i.e. playing dot-to-dot and drawing pretty things!). They all go together quite well, in all truth, but between homework, school, eating and sleeping (or not, as the case may be), there's little time for much else - aside from procrastination, of course. xD Everything's very interesting, but I do wish that they'd leave off on the homework front a little. My darling twin brother comes home every night and can play on his X-Box 360 as much as he pleases, lucky sod.
Oh, and a new addition is coming into the household: a Nintendo Wii will be arriving soon enough. Whether I'll actually have time to play on the thing is another matter entirely, but never mind. In theory, it's just there to bring the family together.
Anna, if you don't email back in the next week, I'll assume you're either dead or with some sexy Italian's flat somewhere in Milan. Do come along, now.
