I'm supposed to be returning a phone call to my grandmother. She needs tech support for her computer, and Gods only know what she did to it this time that I a.) cannot fix and b.) could not explain to her how to fix even if I knew, as Grandma is computer illiterate.

Oh yeah, plus, once that's done, she'll never shut up, and I'll be on the phone half the day listening to her tell me everything I'm doing wrong lately, and how I should not be wasting my summer writing and playing on my computer.

But if I didn't spend half my life on the computer, who else would she call with this crap, I ask you? *facepalms*

I'd sort of rather eat broken glass than make this phone call.

Family is so wonderful. Anyone want mine?

Hey, at least your grandmother *has* a computer! When I'll be visiting mine next week I shall be without internet access all the time!!! Oh, the horror! ;)

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

*gasp* *hugs* Oh you poor thing!

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

Nope, you can keep yours.

However, I'm beginning to think almost all of my family is either computer-illiterate or phobic! None of them have email addys, so I can't ever talk to them (and they're never home, so I can never call them when I bother trying to).

At this point, I'm the mutant.

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Damn. Well, the offer's pretty much always open in case you go temporarily insane change your mind.

Wow. My family's just illiterate. They have email, but they don't know how to use it. Got this thing from an uncle a few weeks ago- in ALL CAPS. *cringe*

*gasp* You? A mutant? No, couldn't be! ;)

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm actually physically a mutant, too.

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

I knew it! You're secretly an X-man, right? Or, yuo know, X-person? ('Cause X-Men is so sexist... really, dunno what they were thinking... oh wait. Comics. 'Nuff said.)

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

I wish, but my mutant thing isn't a power of any kind.

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Didn't mean to sound like I was making fun of you.

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

No, no, I wasn't upset. I'm just a mutant because I have 6 lumbar disks instead of 5. Not a useful ability (or property, I guess)...

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Good to know. :)

Yeah, that's true. Not exactly a superpower or anything. :)

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

Nope. And not particularly useful in day-to-day living. Tends to make the back a bit stiffer.

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Which does not sound at all fun.

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

No, it's not.

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Awww. :( Sorry.

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

One learns to live with it.

Hey! I'm a mutant too. I have an extra bone in both of my feet.

Foot doctor: You have an extra bone in both of your feet. But that's normal.

Me: Um. You can't use words like "extra" and then say it's "normal" to describe the same thing.

Foot doctor: You're missing the point.

Oh well. :)

[leviathanmuse.livejournal.com]

Uh...huh...

Doctors...feh!

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Mmmkay, yeah, 'cause that makes sense and all. "Extra and normal". Mmmhmm. Riight then.

Right, exactly. I don't have the time to be online this much whne I'm in school, so I enjoy it when I'm not.

*sigh* I love my grandmother, I really do, but sometimes it's like I'm 1-800-tech support. And I swear I've answered the same questions six different times in the last year alone... Lately it's "Can I email this to my friend using X type of computer?" I dunno, try it. See what happens. Call me if it doesn't work. *rolls eyes*

I think she's still waiting for me to develop a hobby she understands and finds more acceptable, like volunteer work, or singing in a chorus. Which she's always trying to talk me into doing- with her and her friends. *sigh* Yeah. She means well, I guess, but I'm like, "uh, gee, thanks for thinking of me anyway..." Grandma does not understand the whole writing thing.

But at least my mom is cool with it. If I had to live with someone like Grandma, I'd probably have killed her by now. :)

*sigh* And I didn't mean to post that from the writing journal, but, you know, whatever. :)

I love your icons, it is hard to find someone who makes icons for a tv show that is no longer airing, and you let everyone use them that is so nice! I will be using this one as my main one it took forever to find but was worth all that time looking/googling. Thanks again for the icon. :)

Re: icons

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. Enjoy the icon. :)

Re: icons

[urbandruid.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, by the way, could you credit me for that? Just put "by urbandruid" or something similar in the keywords? Thanks. :)

Re: icons

[sugahigh1313.livejournal.com]

sorry I didn't know that was how to credit it, sometimes i'm technically challenged. but i think i got it right now, let me know if i did it wrong (the crediting part)

[sugahigh1313.livejournal.com]

Sorry i'm double posting/commenting but i was just looking at your interest page and i've decided your my new favorite person, i've never meet anyone who has heard of witchblade, nevertheless likes babylon 5 and other science fiction. Have you ever seen stargate? and if so do you like it too?
