If it makes you feel better I meant to put you on the list of people who make my day (and you're not the only one I forgot) Your fics always pop up when I have a bad day ultimately making me feel all happy...
I also broke my sister's telescope lense...yeah...the three hundred dollar one that let her see the sun...or something like that....so I can feel your pain. *hugs*
Awww... thanks. That actually does make me feel good. Doesn't really matter if I was on the original list or not- just that you thought of it... Coming up with that list was harder than I thought- and I'm sure I forgot somebody, too. And I'm glad my fics are so well timed! :P
I'm working with the lens situation. I'm not sure exactly what my course of action is. I had an idea, then I thought about it, then I talked with my dad, then I had another idea, and now I'm not sure, yet again.
The problem is that the lens is old, and old technology; there's none to be found on eBay. I've looked. There's a possibility of a used on at a place in town, but again- not sure if I want to anymore, or not.
My computer is a piece of shite[...]Freezes at random just to piss me off. Same here, darlin'. Just five minutes ago I was reading your entry and my laptop freezed for no apparent reason. I felt like throwing it out of the window. And I'm sorry for all the trouble you're going through +hugs+ Oh, and I can't wait to read the fics you'll write for that challenge *_* +claps her hands+
Computers should last longer than they do. I have pretty new speakers for mine, too. And I love my huge flat-screen to death (I actually have a desktop- we (mistakenly) thought it would be better for college because of the less-likely chance of theft. Plus at the time, I'd just dealt with a crap laptop that only lasted three years and was supposed to last me at least four). It's just... got issues.
And you won't have to wait long for the first fic- *g*
::pouts:: I really am sorry about that. I know you are frustrated and not attempting to rub in the guilt, but if it really does cost that much and there is no used replacement to be had, I will still foot half the bill. I promised and I stand by that promise.
Yeah, join the club on life being out to run me over. At least yours isn't literal. Still, since chocolate and alcohol do seem to cure some ills, would you like to come over for a meal, dessert, and drinks? We could watch a movie and do the girly thing.
I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do about the lens, if anything. I've been talking with my dad. I kind hate it sometimes when I know he's right, but I don't want to do what he's suggesting, because I didn't think of it and I had an idea and I want my idea to pan out. I'm sort of sick of them not, I guess.
We should do something like that... we could watch Coupling. I'm kind of obsessed with that right now. I wasn't going to watch Season 3 until I'd watched Season 2, but S2 hasn't come in yet, and I've already got S3... so I succumbed. I've also just got The Wedding Date, which is cute and girly. Next week, prob., at the earliest, for my schedule.
*hugs* I know exactly how you feel. My parents decided to have their regular 'we're frustrated about your depression but we've decided to yell at you about how you're not trying hard enough instead' rant today, with the consequence that any self-worth or esteem I had has flown out the window, but I have to pretend that everything is okay if only because I can't stand them being angry at me.
Sorry about the above rant. Life just sucks and doesn't seem to be getting better...so yeah, definitely joining you there.
I wish I could say something to help but I know well enough that sometimes words don't help.
So I'm here, even if you just want to get on im and trade rants. *hugs*
Thanks. *big hugz* with a z, because it's just that... awesome... something like that.
That does suck. I'm eternally grateful I've got supportive parents. They just don't totally know I think what exactly I'm feeling about what I'm going through. Though, granted, most of the time, I'm all right. Even good, sometimes great. I somehow have this weird ability to just say "I'm good," to the "how are you?" question, and I never really end up going into what it is... or only a little. I have no idea what's up with that. Then sometimes it boils over and then comes posts like this. Re-reading it I think it's also heavier than I meant. It was more frustration, but still, the same idea, I suppose. Support never turned down, when needed. :)
Yay for hugs. I'm on a fair amount, too- I sometimes just get into the habit of not messaging anyone, but I put up my away or sign off if I don't feel like talking. :)
My Uncle lost his monopod one day on the Cliffs of Moher (or was it Achill?) on a photography expedition (he's a serious amateur professional photographer. His work is fantastic.) And another time he put down a lens to change it, and forgot to put it in his bag of photographic goodies. He's minus a fairly expensive telephoto because of it.
*I feel your pain*
Technology doesn't just hate you, either. My laptop, which isn't even a year old has dial-up issues and won't play DVDs right, which is a serious pain in the backside.
It's good to see your Muses are alive and well, though. That always cheers me up, when I get inspired and can write.
