Archaic-sounding curses: Because, occasionally, "fuck you" is not elaborate enough.
Apparently, in the interim between my return from school and now, my laptop became infested with a particularly insidious virus. Thankfully, all it appears to be doing is gumming up my internet for the time being - I haven't noticed any missing files or unexpected hard drive wipes.
My dad, bless him, is working on clearing the thing out, but we might have to completely wipe my computer and start it over. I won't lose much - The Traumatic Spider Incident of last semester taught me the value of backing up my data - but it'll still mean a while without my laptop.
As such, my presence here might be even more sporadic than usual; I'll still have the house desktop, and the computer at work, but since the desktop's shared and I'm supposed to be, you know, working on my work computer, my availability'll be a bit limited. I'm not ignoring you all, really. I promise.
Now watch me take every opportunity to post on the other computers, thus rendering this whole post moot.

Traumatic Spider Incident? Do tell.

The Traumatic Spider Incident was the time when I was up extra-late studying with my laptops balanced on my lap. I saw a huge spider crawling up my leg, freaked out, and dropped my laptop, breaking the bulb behind the screen. I had to shine a flashlight at the screen and try to e-mail the document I was working on to myself so I could still get it done by 5 p.m. that afternoon when it was due. The fact that it was about four in the morning, I hadn't slept in days, and I might have hallucinated the spider didn't make me feel any better.

And anyway, I have plenty of Martha over here in my stubborn no-spinoffs-yet corner, so there.

The repairs were covered by the warranty, and I only had to spend a few days laptopless, so in retrospect it wasn't that bad. But I never did find that spider. 8(
