Um

Remember baby seal guy? 
Turns out he's "sort of going to China in six months".
For another nine months.

I'm getting braces, y'all!

This November. Not only that, but the orthodontist said they were willing to do it for free. What is up. Gah, so excited.

Also, I got a new battery for my laptop. Everything effin' works again! The mouse, the screen, everything!
It wasn't her. OOPS, well, my bad then.

Hello, it's me again

And I'm sad to say that I dove head-first into an emotional breakdown today. I can't concentrate on anything, school least of all, people even less, so what do I do? I blog.
I used to just casually roleplay via mobile with this girl for like 3 years, every day, but we sort of lost contact about a year ago. She lives near me, but we never really discussed meeting or anything like that. We were pretty tight though. But today I recognised her walking towards me on the street. I froze and she walked past me, I just didn't know what to say. I wanted to say something. I wanted to reach out to her, say hi, talk to her, but I was scared shitless that she wouldn't be interested in talking to me at all. I just told her my name like a year ago. I don't believe she even knows how I look, I've been far more secretive than her, sometimes crazily and unnecessarily so.
I haven't felt this much regret since I don't even know when. I've been wanting to bang my head against a wall all day. I should have said something. What harm could it have done?
Well, by the time I got over myself I had gone to meet my friends, but then I texted her, telling her kind of awkwardly that I thought I just spotted her. She hasn't replied yet, and I'm thinking maybe she changed her number or something. We haven't texted in about 1½ months, so it's a possibility.
I guess I'll just wait it out.
I'm so full of regret, I don't even understand what this is.

Just get it fixed

First off, my laptop is not well. Laptop is, in fact, broken. No right-click function to speak of in weeks. Scroll and dragging function is not good either. Mouse freezes every time the computer starts up. Mouse doesn't work in Adobe Flash Video (YouTube!!). Battery is barely hanging in there. Sounds about the time to get my machine fixed, right? Well....

I did beat those flaws, but I gotta admit these are the worst kind of solutions. Totally unnecessary. 
  • The broken right-click function has rendered me unable to save images. I fixed that by highlighting the image and using the context menu button to go to 'view selection source', and clicking on the url that pops up in the next window. From there I can use ctrl + s.
  • Sometimes the mouse freezes at first when Windows opens. Ctrl + Alt + Del and open the task manager in Windows. Mouse works fine again.
  • I figured out that, when on YouTube, the mouth works just fine on the videos when I open up a smaller window over the site first, and then hover above the video.
  • Nothing much to do about the battery, really...... The laptop doesn't randomly shut off, but it only lives 20-30 minutes at a time before the battery dies without warning. I've got a power cord.
So as you can see I'm not desperate yet. It's a drag, but other than that the computer's fine. The not being able to play Sims 2 will probably do me in sooner or later though.
