At the ripe old age of 20, I am wondering what the hell is going on with today’s youth. Muck Up Day is BRUTAL this year. Kids rampaging through rival schools, through the streets, jumping on cars, smashing things up, bashing other people up- and OMG THEY MADE BOMBS. Okay, more like incendiary devices intended to cause smoke or fire. So…not exactly Al-Qaeda. But still, we have Year 12 psychopaths-in-the-making. Whereabouts does bomb-manufacturing fall in the homicidal triad?

My own Muck Up Day- or ‘Celebration Day’ as it was renamed by the principal, so as to encourage responsible and mature behavior rather than rowdy rambunctious revelry- was fairly tame. We were all too lazy, to be honest, and couldn’t be bothered with the usual pranks. No fish oil on the lockers, no Vaseline on doorknobs, no plastic wrap over toilets and no rotten egg-throwing. How boring were we?! There was a barbecue in the morning and a concert in the afternoon, during which nobody was injured and no condom balloons were tossed around. I was nominated for ‘Most Likely to Become a Millionaire’ but lost to Sining, a 15 year old Asian kid who was the Dux. Grr. *glares* 

A rather blurry photo of a few of my classmates:

 

Katie as Britney Spears, Jess as Red Riding Hood, Mel as the Big Bad Wolf, Laura as Dorothy, me as…well, I wore the tackiest thing I could find- given that Muck Up Day traditionally encourages a sluttier mode of dress- and since it had an Oriental look to it, I called myself Mulan…Emma as Snow White and Leah in the front as a character out of a book on our reading list.

Our outfits were more along fantasy lines, rather than following the balaclava clad hoodlum theme, lol. Ah, the innocence of 20005.

I give up. This computer hates me. Or it hates the SGA ep 'The Game'.

First it installed updates that were *crucial*, just of life-and-death importance, when I was about three-quarters of the way through saving this ep.

Then the server was reset because of an incoming call- LIAR. Who the hell calls at 1:30 am?! NO ONE. It was a stupid excuse to screw with me.

On my third try, it didn't bother getting creative with the excuses, it goes with the time-honored favorite, you know, 'internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost'. What do you mean IF I was doing something? MIGHT be lost? What a pathetic apology- like there's the possibility that there was no inconvenience because people log onto the internet for no reason other than to leave it running with no purpose at all so when random shut-downs happen, they have nothing to complain about because they were sitting there in the middle of doing *nothing* on the internet other than contributing massively to their carbon footprint.

What I find really amusing is that I logged on *again*, - then just when I'm checking my mail and wondering whether I can cope with another attempt to get this ep, because I'm a glutton for punishment, this lovely pop-up appears...'Link to Bigpond failed. Reconnect pending...' I hadn't even started the d/l yet, I was just thinking about it! And it cursed me anyway. Ugh.

OMFG. I know this is a sign, but what could it possibly mean? [Other than I really need to kick the dren out of this laptop.] Don't bother d/l eps with little Sparky in it? I'm allowed to like an ep even if the Sh/Weir interaction is non-existent, aren't I? I just love the scene where she's pounding some sense into Zelenka and Lorne. *sniffles* 

Damn laptop.
