Here, try playing some of these while watching it: ( cut because this entry got a bit long )

Okay I think that's enough OTL

Feel free to link me to more music if you find this half as hilarious as I do.

Oh god, what is this:

I AM NEVER DOING ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE EVER AGAIN.

So I need to do a 3-5 page comic by Monday. No sweat, right?

Yeah, except my chosen subject is grammatical errors. Ouch. How do you build a plot on grammatical errors?

Any tips on how to approach an unapproachable subject?

It's 4 in the morning and I'm taking Internet too seriously and feeling crappy because of it. Well, partly anyway. I think the other part of the reason is that I'm ill and feel crappy anyway. 8D

I thought learned not to let shitheads online get to me (I'm not going to elaborate, it's just some random Internet stranger, which makes my frustration even more ridiculous) a long time ago, but I guess I'm groggy and feverish and I CAN'T SLEEP ANYMORE BECAUSE MY BED IS ALWAYS EITHER TOO HOT OR TOO COLD and I'm a bit hungry but even the thought of food makes me nauseous so I don't have all my mental defenses in place or something. Ugh.

And I don't think I can afford to miss my classes tomorrow. Or technically today. Fffff.

Man, even the LJ ads seem to be making even less sense than usual.


ETA: Pheewww, the fever's gone down, and with it my anxiety. I was aware I was overreacting even when I wrote this but at the time I felt so overall horrible that I had to get it out of my system.

What does it say about the Internet that there is a website (probably several) that will simulate flipping a coin for you?

And what does it say about me that not only was I certain that there would be a site like that, but my first instinct was to google for it rather than pick up an actual coin and flip it?

I've been sleeping restlessly for the past four nights.

There are these dreams. I wouldn't call them nightmares because they're not frightening. In fact they're kind of watered-down nightmares that make me feel anxious.

The subject of the dreams varies from playing videogames and panicing at boss fights to being stranded in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The feeling is exactly the same every time, though. The zombie dream felt no worse than the one where my WoW character died (for the uninitiated, dying in WoW is usually just a minor annoyance).

I have two or three of these dreams every night, waking up after each one. The feeling of anxiety dissipates very quickly once I wake up and falling asleep again is pretty easy. It's still very strange and annoying.

Why has Google put a goth dating site advertisement on my LJ? I never talk about goth things or dating.

Weird.

I just saw the police arrest some guy on the corner of my building. He was clearly resisting arrest and judging from the scene, had been trying to escape in a car. I'm not certain if he'd been trying to make a getaway from or to these buildings, but his car was not on the main road, so I can tell he wasn't just passing by. This sort of thing isn't exactly rare in these parts.

So, yeah, nice neighbourhood.


I also saw Mr. T on a TV Shop advert today, pitying the fool who wanted to turn frozen food into something edible within twenty minutes (without the thingamabob the ad was for, that is). And he actually said "I pity the fool".

Well, don't I feel like a fool now.

My laptop wouldn't turn on. After trying everything I could, I got on a different computer (I'm at my parents' place. There are plenty to choose from here) to look for an answer online. I was actually writing a LJ post about it, noting that, yes, I had checked that the power cord was plugged in on both ends, when it occurred to me that I hadn't checked if it was plugged in in the middle.
Sure enough, the transformer had gotten disconnected at some point, and when I connected it, the battery light on my laptop went on.

So, I basically made the most classic mistake regarding electronics ever. I concluded that it must be broken when it was just unplugged. Gah.

In my defense, the damn thing does have a habit of overheating. There was a change that it had actually fried itself.

Well, that's interesting. My computer says I have no Internet connection when I kind of obviously do.

This post has been brought to you by boredom and mild confusion.
