I have a headache...

[lavandarlizard2]

...And it's name is AOL...

I now have Kimi up and running. Mostly. Except that the mother of all lousy customer service - offering companies won't let me use my damn screen name...

So I'm trapped in a kludged together connection. This is it; I swear it. I hate this rotten service, and its 'customer service' from frigging Timbuktu.

Tomorrow, I am plugging Tanqier back in and then I'm going to rip AOL a new one. After I get my damn password fixed. Grrrr! I just changed the damn thing two months ago. Wrote it down in my handy-dandy password keeper and everything. And now AOL refuses to recognise it! This is the second time this has happened...

I will never get through a full computer change-over without a crisis; I just know it. The gods hate me. Damn their fuzzy little butts, anyway...

Just thought I'd share my mini-meltdown...

It will get better? Anything worth having takes work? Uh... This too shall pass? Ok... ok... that's my complete selection of platitudes, sorry... that's the best I can do. ^^;

The whole thing was complicated by the fact that the rotten kid ate the stuff I had planned to have for dinner. The reefer looks like a damned wasteland and the cupboard is down to cans of chicken broth... The cat has more food than we do.

But I woke up and 'adjusted' things, and now I'm much happier. Kimi is wonderful and Tanqier seems to be enjoying the rest. He'll be back up and running in a couple of months, though; gonna get him a little upgrade and put him in kid's room for wp and games. Hell, maybe some midi whatever if he gets decent at the guitar.

BTW, *LOVE* that pic! Holy fuzzy-butt hamsters!

Ouch. Been in that 'wasteland' a couple of times myself. *remembers trying to make a grilled cheese sandwich with shredded taco cheese and bread heels* >.<;;
Glad today is going better for both you and Kimi. ^^;
You know the only problem with all this fanart is that it keeps making we want to be able to draw! *whimper*

*pats hand sympathetically*

I understand totally... I have the same need lurking inside me. Guess that's where it's gonna stay too..

Re:

Yeah... since Duo keeps coming out looking like the Pillsbury Dough Boy and Heero kinda looks like Charlie Brown... guess it would be a good idea for me to keep that need inside too! :P

You know, people keeping pushing me at some class that purports to be able to teach anyone how to draw. Talented or not, they claim. I may have to give in to the pressure and try it. If I do, I'll be sure and let you know what happens.

Dragons! Wouldn't it be funny if it actually *worked*?

Just as an aside, I'm knee-deep in the scary-angst part. I think that particular muse has been talking to the hamsters, because the thing is already 25 pages in Word, and I'm nowhere near done. Too bad it's not next in line to post...

Well, I have to confess to owning more than one of those 'How to Draw...' books, but I've never had the time to sit down and actually try anything. ^^; I took four years of art in High school, and at one time I could occasionally turn out stuff that wasn't awful, but with no consistancy at all. And it is very, very true what they say about 'use it, or lose it'. ~_~ I can't draw crap now.
Scary-angst? Ooooooh... you know you're killing me here, right? *dances in place* NO, that is NOT my 'pee-pee dance'! That is my 'I can't wait dance'! :P

I can be persuaded to share the WIP, you know...

*big cheesy grin*
Do I actually have to work for it... :P
