my computer is truely messed up. and, i'm not over exaggerating here, it's so bad it's unbelievable, sometimes i just feel like throwing it out the window. If you're lucky, you can get to the internet about 15-20 minutes after turning it on (thats about 14-19 minutes more than most people right). if your unlucky, it can take up to an hour, so yeah, by the time i get on it, i'm already pissed off at it for taking so long.

then the internet is touch and go, it usually works, i'll give it that, although it just randomly goes off sometimes but after you unplug and replug the router it comes back on within about 2 minutes. but going on the internet is just annoying. sometimes it can take 3-4 minutes just to load a page, when i click a link i just pray that it doesnt take long, and sometimes i get pissed off when i wait like 2-4 minutes for a page to load and then its just a useless page.

one time it took 20 minutes to load WORD on this thing, yes, WORD, microsoft word. aarg, although i'll admit that doesnt happen often, but the point is it shouldn't happen at all!

being totally honest, i havnt animated since september, but i'm sure even if i tried i wouldn't be able to. my computer has actually been like this for a while, like its been bad for a few months, but just over the past couple of weeks it's gotten alot worse, even in september it was hard to animate because i moved too quick for the computer so sometimes there was lag time between me drawing a line and the computer actually showing it, so i dont know what it'll be like now :-/.

my dad said he's gonna take it to a PC shop to see if it can get fixed, i don't know when he'll do this. but i'm hoping they can fix it without having to wipe everything. but incase they do need to wipe stuff, i've been trying to save stuff onto my memory stick. but alas, my computer is SO CRAP that it won't make it that easy. firstly, i plugged my memory stick in and when i brought it up on screen it had nothing showing in it, and i was like 'wtf when did all this get wiped' so i took it downstairs and plugged it in the laptop (which isn't great but works far better than the desktop) and realized that it wasnt that anything had been wiped, since it clearly showed everything was there on the laptop. but it was, infact, just the terrible desktop that wouldn't show it.

so, after a few tries i manage to make the desktop show that i do actually have files on my memory stick, then, i find my highest priority for saving if it gets wiped (being the xiao style 3.fla file) and drag it over and put it in the memory stick window (which should've saved it onto the memory stick) but no...my bollocks computer, instead, decides to put an error up telling me it cant find the right file or path and tells me to redirect something or some BS like that. i don't get this problem on any other computers by the way, just my crappy desktop.

now, i wanted to save alot of stuff, but i guess i'll just have to settle with my biggest priorities unless by some miracle my memory stick works in this computer again...or even better, the computer fixes itself :-/. so i've had to resort to sending myself the xiao style 3.fla to myself through email, takes alot longer, but if it's the only way im gonna keep the file i guess it'll do.

so i'm just hoping that, for a best case scenario, my computer doesnt need to be wiped, or, upon failing that, nothing goes wrong when trying to open the file again :-/.

i don't know when my dad is taking the computer, and even in a best case scenario, i don't know when i'll next have time to animate. but if it gets wiped and i can't open the emailed file, theres very little chance i'm gonna restart it, but assuming everything goes well and i can animate in the file, i will definately finish it at some point :) :-/.

well there's my rant for today, thought i'd share it with you guys :)
