I rule - I found all my stuff!!!
While I was waiting for my father to call back, I was browsing around on the computer and found all my files waiting for me via My Computer. THANK YOU, GOD. I had to sort out my Internet Explorer, though, and my father has to fix my email account, though. And I had to re-favourite all my websites, but that was OK - the favourites list was getting a bit messy anyway.
There are still some annoying things happening with the internet, but they can be changed and I don't care. I'm just so relieved that everything's back to normal.
A survey from anonymoose_au. Part 2 coming soon - ye gods, there are 5000 questions in all. That'll keep me occupied for a few weeks...or months...

I am happy in myself and with my life, just waiting for everything else to come...
8. Are you more child-like or childish?
Is there a difference, really? Hey, the more you look at the word 'child' the weirder it gets. (Sometimes when I look at words for a long time they become completely alien.) Anyway, I'm probably a little bit of both.

Of course! Stop making me think sad thoughts.
17. Do you tend to be aware of what is going on around you?
No. Ask any of my friends.
18. What is the truest thing that you know?
'Just walk, don't look and you'll survive.' Sinead made this up, and we sing it while running across a busy street and dodging cars. This can't end well...

An ice-skater. Failing that, a mermaid.
20. Have you ever been given a second chance?
Secondary school gave me a fresh start to make good friends who wouldn't think I was weird. (Well, they accept my weirdness, anyway.)

Sort of both.
22. Do you make your decisions with an open heart/mind?
Usually. Probably.

What the F, I lost the rest of the survey!! This has not been a good day.
Guess I have to run that system restore thing now. Would have been helpful if I'd done this BEFORE I fixed up my favourites and everything, but I'm not complaining. It would be good to be able to return my laptop to a previous state, because it does seem to be running a little slow.
