your head will collapse and there's nothing in it and you'll ask yourself
The happy list is very short today, even in heels. It's capslocked to overcompensate.
- THIS.
- THAT.
- THE UNSPOKEN LJ MEME WHERE WE ALL TALK ABOUT JARED/SAM'S GIANT PEENER & JENSEN/DEAN'S PERPETUAL TROUBLE SITTING.
- BMW!J2: STILL FUCKING HILARIOUS. I MAY HAVE TO WRITE SOMETHING INVOLVING CHICKENS IN THE HALLWAY.

I cried last night because I thought my compy was going to have a fatal disk error, I spent most of the night running disk utility and freaking out worrying that I was going to have to make the decision. It was like virus, only scarier. I found out that there was problem a few months ago when Tekserve ran a diagnostic on it. I elected to try and fix the problem myself, because they were trying to pressure me to give it up and buy a new computer.
Turns out this time that the problem lay in Firefox 2. I must've downloaded a bad add-on or extension, because it was running slow, crashing, forcing me to force-quit and restart more times than I can count. I deleted it and found Firefox 1.5 and have been running that just fine. Crisis (temporarily) averted.
Now, the decision is whether to:
1. Invest money in fixing my G4 and going through rigorous data backups/system restarts/hair pulling/wailing and gnashing of teeth.
2. Buy a new Macbook and do a data backup/transfer regardless.
Neither of which, I want to do right now. I am very much attached to my lappy, Hedwig. (Named for both the snowy-white owl and the drag revue/musical/movie)
Also? I hate, HATE OS Tiger or whatever it is right now. My Penguin has it and whenever I do something for her on her laptop I just wanna throw it against the wall. No freaking way am I giving up Panther for anything less then Leopard or Puma or Cheetah or Albino African White Lion. Whatever.
And there's just, way too much sentiment I hold onto. It got me through college, it was there during my thesis, it was with me in China. It's my lappy.
I just want it to hold on until September, when I have the money and the patience to get it fixed.

I gave my Gerbils ping-pong balls because I kept reading about it, how they're supposed to love them. I have no clue why. Spooky and Grimmy don't seem very impressed, but it took them a while to get into their other toys too.
I would post adorable pictures of them but I swear to god, they can freaking smell my camera and they hide at the sight of it, flash or no flash.
