I knew this wasn't her district the second she entered the room. All eyes turned towards her, unable to ignore the provocative display she offered. She spoke in quiet, small words, words which were betrayed by the curves of her font, the theme of her instant messenger.

I knew then that this was going to be an ugly chat.

*I am a bug! If you see me, please report me to--

Re-indexing. Please wait.

Please wait.

Please wait.

Thank you for waiting. Reindexed. Restoring truncated operation:

The operation was restored. That was what they said when we struggled free of the safety of our pre-made tomb, cringing at the blasts and waiting for the Earth to do away with the formalities and simply crash down on us. Not, "You lived!" Not, "Come home!" Instead? The operation was restored.

But if your enemies won't rest, you can't, either. What do you do when they're not human, though?

Retrieval process initiating. Retro-cycle terminating.

Kernel has been spiked with l.azy host.

Main power to games down 48%. Advise immediate exposure to Wuxia.

Applying "Kung Fu Hustle!" to core. Inspiration sparked -- instability in inspiration spark! Warning, warning -- attention has been subverted!

Main power to games down 60%. Advise immediate escape.

Fanfiction file-core self-de-archiving. FFFC is now in control of 20% of all current permission systems, and stands at: "Highest" priority for CPU access.

Main power to games down 87%. Advise prayer -- abandoning peripheral games.

Peripheral games jettisoned -- preparing form letters for survivors to commemorate their losses. The FFFC break has been contained as much as possible. It cannot be eraddicated and will now vie for focus against gaming.

Advisory: Secondary administrator should hard-reset firmware, backup to read- only non-executable media, and reinstall. Retrieval as warranted. Expect: 184 days to retrieve game-sensitive data with 45% confidence rating (90% recoverable data, 30% chance of failure).

Main power to games up -- total down is now: 13%.

System is now in Watchman mode. All administrator logs will be updated as mandated by safe-mode boot. Please notify the administrator of any unexpected system halts/irregularities. Your cooperation is appreciated.

And so it seems that D&D; is now canceled, too. Can't have a campaign with as few characters as we've gotten down to. So ... now we can't run my Exalted campaign either.

Scheduling sucks.

People who kill campaigns suck.

Oh well.

Might as well go back to WoW.

Dying efficiently is not my forté.

I started coughing up something I've never seen before. Chunks of dark gray matter, sometimes nearly black in color. There was almost always blood in my snot when I blew my nose. Worried, I went to my doctor.

She said she didn't know what I had, but took a scraping from my throat for the lab. Hopefully it's nothing at all.

In the meantime, I'm ill. Fever off and on. Dizzy constantly. Can't sleep. And now? I've got some form of mucus exiting the tear duct of my left eye in my sleep. So my eye is irritated (yeah, this is aggravating my insomnia something fierce) and bothering the hell out of me. I've got no appetite.

At least I've got some medication for the symptoms, so I can pretend to feel better.

Blech. I can't wait until I'm actually better, though. -_-

DRAMA! DRAMA! DRAMA!

My roomate is in Hawaii. Apparently, he ran out of money and needs help while he's there visiting his girlfriend from Australia. He left me no way to get in touch with him, only orders to do so in a voicemail.

Annoying, and the information he gave his aunt to contact him turned out to be invalid. Then I get a call (at 11:15 PM, while I'm asleep) from his girlfriend's parents asking for her to give them a call.

I don't know what's going on, but I think it's both amusing and tragic that I'm catching fallout for whatever shenanegans are going on.

Oh well. Life goes on.

My Birthday was Monday. I had a party on Saturday (my Mom invited some friends over to dinner). That was nice, and I got an iPod. :D

And then my computer died last night. I'm tired of living in an apartment complex without grounding. Replacing my mother-board/CPU every three months is annoying, and not exactly cheap, either.
