Going Dark

I haven't been around much and I'm going to be around less. I do have some access at work but, obviously, I can't read any fic there. Especially not the Ray/Ray stories I haven't read yet.

PORN!

My computer at home is acting worse and worse. I think installing Norton taxed it too much. But tonight when I came home it gave me fits and wouldn't start right. And I'm just tired of this. I don't know when I can get a new computer. There's stuff I want to read but, well can't.

What's doubly frustrating is that I'm limping along with this computer that just well...limps...And Dad recently bought a kick ass computer that he pretty much just plays Freecell on. He does a few other things but that's it. He was talked into getting Wi Fi, but he has to get the hardware installed. He bought the hardware about a month ago and it's just sitting there. Like his computer because it's not a priorty for him.

The last time I was on mIRC my computer froze up and I just decided not to wait around for the long start up time to say that my computer messed up and I'd be signing off for the night.

I probably could do a bit more than I think but I just get tired of waiting for my computer to work.

So...there will be less of me and I'll probably be trimming down my friendslist again. Just because.

Crap. Sorry to hear about the computer, Skye. I hope things work out for you soon.

You'll be missed! Hope things get better with the computer!

Skye, As always, I am here to help. If you still have my number, feel free to call. If you have my email address, feel free to email.

I'd like to think I can help get your machine at least better for now, and maybe I can help find you an inexpensive replacement or upgrade option.

Thanks Dan! I'll probably give you a call later in the week.

I hardly run into you at all anymore... I'll just pout about how your woes are affecting me.

Okay, now I'm all ready to help - not that there's anything I can actually do, but still...

Oh, I can send you chocolate.

I hate not being online but I get so frustrated when I am that it's not as fun.

I could call you---I have a barely used calling card.

Phoning is fun - I enjoy listening to your accent...

Why is on-line not as fun? Are people harshing your mellow? Why am I talking like a damn hippie?

Everything and everyone online is fun.

It's just not fun waiting for my computer to load, hoping that it doesn't freeze, watching the browser crash. Seeing that I don't have free memory to run programs. All that makes it frustrating. Everytime I've tried to use IRC, my computer has messed up.

And the stupid thing is I didn't even tape or watch Angel tonight. Partly because I don't want the series to be over, so I'm just going to sit in denial.

I don't get to see it until Monday... We'll just sit in ignorance together.

Shit - you probably can't download it. Have you gotten a tape fairy?

Poor you and the computer suckiness. Stupid computer. I hope you can get a new one soon.

Oddly enough if I just download something my computer is okay, I think because it's the only program running.

Well, excellent.

I look forward to comparing notes on Angel once I've seen it.
