What better way to celebrate Friday than with mindless memes, hm?

( Indulgent narcissism ahoy )

Ten seconds away from hitting "post" on my entry, and the computer decides to freeze. This is a computer that hardly ever freezes -- I can literally count the number of times I've had to do a hard shutdown on one hand. And not just a single program going buggy, either -- it was one of those totally-unresponsive-complete-cessation-of-all-activity freezes. (Though I suppose I would have lost the entry whether Firefox or the whole thing crapped out.)

All I can say is, thank goodness it didn't happen when I was working on my short story, which is due Monday morning for class. >_>;; Although at least I would have saved that -- when I'm writing in Word, I'm a neurotic ctrl+s masher. But there's no save feature in LJ, and I kept thinking I should save, but then naah, I'm almost done ...

Gnargh. Maybe this was punishment for not working on my story, though. I mean, I did say I was going to skip the showing and go home to write my story, so as to avoid another Sunday night spent desperately typing into the wee hours of the morning ... You know, I should really learn to just write like a normal person instead of going on these 48 hour literary binges. At least this time I have a planned outline, though. (It was a required assignment. XD;;;) That's better than last time, when I didn't have a plot until Friday night. Or the time before that, where I had a plot, but didn't start seriously writing until Saturday evening. I mean, that's improvement, right? :P

... But my entry was full of ranty goodness. A lot of ranty goodness. Expending all that energy in rage and then losing it all is ... kind of a bitch. XO Ah well. I'm letting it go. But maybe I'll finish my story and have time to try and rewrite the rant. It's been too long since I've had a good rage, and they're therapeutic. :P
