I'm gonna go rant about this on my LJ...
Sorry, LJ friends, but it had to be done. This is where I do most of my angry rants.
The day before the huge Hamlet paper was due, my computer decided to randomly freeze and die. This didn't happen once; it died like ten times in less than two hours. (I tried to count, but I forgot after about the sixth or seventh blue screen of death.) Anyway, I worked really hard on it (despite the fact that it kept freezing) and finally wrote a decent sounding paragraph that I was previously unsure how to word. As I was saving it, my computer died, somehow corrupting the file in the process and losing all my work. Needless to say, I was angry and really wanted to call Dell to complain or something because, really. My computer is only, like, two years old and should not be doing this. Friggin Vista. As I was waiting for my computer to finish searching for problems, I decided to look over and work on the paper I had printed out previously. I started writing ideas and sentence fragments and eventually came up with some good ideas for my final paragraphs. Luckily, I had emailed myself a copy of my paper not too long ago, so all I really needed was to rewrite my ideas and put everything together. All things considered, I really like how my paper sounds. I just hope that next time, it doesn't take my computer dying constantly.
Edit: This isn't very angry. I blame the aroma of freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies I smell wafting over from the kitchen. And also knowing that my paper sounds really good now, despite (or perhaps because of) the problems I've been having with my computer. Only I could just fail at ranting angrily on Livejournal.
Also, I'm really bored. Somebody say something to me, even if it is only about an icon you like or something. Or you could tell me about your day! Please. I'm naturally curious.
