Current mood:

awake now

Sob
I am this close to making that my default icon. This close. 



Long story short... my Sims are dead. Definitely dead. Dead dead dead. After smartening up Little Bro's computer all night, I went to bed and in the morning I started it up again. I slipped the Sims 2 cd in and...

Nothing happened.

I went into My Programs and tried running it that way, thinking Autoplay was off.

Nothing happened.

By the way, has the weird thing been happening to anyone else where you only get halfway down the area to type in and then it starts scrollbarring on you? That is a ridiculously bad description, but it's also probably just me because the Tech God hates me.

So I go into My Computer and double-click on the CD drive.

Nothing happened.

Then I wondered if perhaps the EA Games file had been deleted and that was what was screwing it up. It was still there. So I close the window.

The window doesn't go away. Or, to repeat my refrain, nothing happened.

Okay then. I click on Start and the bar pops up. It must just be the window. So I click on the desktop to pull out of Start.

Nothing happened. The Start bar was still there.

Around then I decide that the computer can burn in hell and click Start again to begin shutdown. Little blue screen with Stand By/Shut Down/Hibernate pops up. I click Shut Down.

Nothing happened.

I push The Button and get instant satisfaction from instant shutdown.

Though if nothing happened, I would've been terrified because I had a nightmare where that happened once and the computer started making ridiculously loud noises and I was going deaf and the computer started trying to kill me. Honest.



 And yesterday was crazy. So I take Amazon out on the lake and the wind is blowing nicely and I'm making wake like the 420's. Then I turn upwind and... the mast falls down, kaput, sploosh. I manage to drag it mostly into the boat and row to shore. There my dad meets me after driving the car down and we pull everything apart. So now I'm all wet and he runs home to get Mom to help us. They come back and we somehow manage to pull the boat up the steep steep steep embankment to the highway and get it on the trailer. We gather all the loose odds and ends which we untied and unlatched and all that stuff and stick them in the back of the car. Then my uncle the carpenter show up. Then he shows up, right after we've done all the hard work when we really could have used his help. Go figure.

So we go home, I get changed, and then shortly after I have to go babysit while everyone else goes out for dinner. Go figure. Hours later after chasing my cousin around in circles then watching cartoons, I am exhausted. We have dessert there and are in the car going home when my exhaustion leads to this:

Alien: *tapping*
Me: If you don't stop tapping I'll hit you
Alien: *still tapping*
Me: What part of 'If you don't stop tapping I'll not hit you' do you not understand?
Alien: *still tapping*
Me: *hits him*
Alien: Hey!
Me: I told you!
Parental Units: Um, actually...
Me: SHUT UP!!! I NEED SLEEP!!!
