(no subject)

I'm so glad it's Saturday, you have no idea. Long, long week. But at least it's over, and I'm starting to feel better.

We tried for about an hour today to fix that damn key on my keyboard that I popped off, but it's not going back together. Don't think anything's broken, but the little plastic bits that attatch to the keyboard beneath the cap popped out, and we can't get 'em back in. Of course it would be one of those little keys at the top- it's the one next to the PrtScrn key, says "SysRq" on it. No clue what it's for, but the gap in my keyboard is annoying me. Plus, my poor laptop has enough cat hair in it already. (Which is part of what I was trying to clean out when I popped the key...)

Anyway, we're taking it to CompUSA in a bit to see if they can fix it. They'll have to keep it somewhere between half an hour and an hour... and I think I'm having separation anxiety, or something, about leaving it there. "My baby..." I'm just being a dork, of course.

I have to plan my schedule for the spring semester this weekend, since I register on Wednesday. The idiots in Admissions & Records sent me a notice last week saying I got to register on the first day of open registration. You know, with the freshmen. Uh, no. Wrong answer. So I called Disabled Students, who sorted that out for me. Fun times. I'm looking forward to registration less than usual, because they're working on a "building modernization" project at the A&R office, so I get to register either outside the cafeteria, or in the "bungalows", as the staff calls them. (The 'bungalows' are those portable buildings most of us remember from high school and such, though ours seem less portable, as they have cemented-in sidewalks and such. But whatever.)

Could be worse, though. At least they put the class schedule online ahead of time this year. They always seem to forget about priority registration when this stuff comes up. The printed book was supposed to be out Friday, but now they're saying "maybe" Monday... which is what I figured would happen, so I printed out the pages I needed last week. Now to look at them and decide exactly what I'm doing.

Bizarro Review Meme

Ok. This is called the "Weirdest/Scariest/Freakiest Reviews EVAR meme."

Here's how it works:

Post your most unusual review/feedback in your journal for the world to ponder. Then tag five people to do the same in an attempt to beat you.

So. Tagged by my buddy by_starkiller; not doing the contest part, but posting the weird stuff I can come up with. Since I'm not doing it for competition, and because I really couldn't decide, we have a three-way tie.

First, we have this review for Emerald & Ebony, my first Snape/McGonagall story. Gotta love Fanfic.net.

I think you should write a sequel to this. Maybe when they come back from the summer Snape and McGonagall are married. Not just that maybe Minerva is expecting! Well just email me if you need the ideas. I can think of many things to happen. Not just that what if they already have kids. I got the story for them. I'll let you know when I have typed up my version of the fifth book!

Sadly, this person never did get back to me about their version of the 5th book. Really really broken up about this, I can't tell you how much.

Next up, for Once Upon A Legend, a Babylon 5 fic from Ivanova's POV:
You've got skills. Stop writing and I will hunt you down and kill you.

I think they meant this in a good way, I really do. But I have to wonder- does this qualify as my first death threat? (And is that like first flames? Is it a big deal? Should I frame it? Throw it a party?)

And last but not least on the bizarro scale, this gem, for The Bitter End, which is a strange Star Wars fic I wrote in high school from the POV of one of my old roleplaying characters. The Dark Empire thing this guy's ranting about, if anyone cares, is a comic book series where the Emperor was cloned a billion times, Luke turned to the dark side, and related lame overdone things. I was bored and I wanted to sort of rewrite it- or write around it, from the POV of that OC. I do agree that I may have given the Emperor a lame first name, but he sort of needed one, and I think I picked it for the vague assocaiton it has in my head with MacBeth. So there, dork. :)

Uhhh, your an Imbecile. The Dark Empire plotline was the greatist thing ever to grace the expanded universe, the greatest and most evil character had returned in a clone body. Yes thats right "body" the clones where just empty shells waiting for Palpatines spirit to enter them, once it did Palpatine took control of its body thus the clone has no life, in essence Palpatine is literally REBORN. This story makes no sense, and even if Palpatines first name is Duncan (which it probably isn't because that name is stupid) there is no such thing as Gillian Skywalker. I hope Palpatine could escape the netherworld and return to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong, and return the Galaxy under Imperial control. PS The Eclipse class star destroyer is the best starship ever created, partly because it was Palpatine's flagship and his taste is good-or should I say EVIL.

I should probably also note that this review was signed by one "Lord Exor." I think this is an attempt at ripping off a Star Wars comic character, a Sith Lord by the name of Exer Kun... not sure of the spelling, but I know his sucks. If it were my nick, I'd check the spelling. Just saying.

So... tags. Anyone who wants to do it, or pandoraculpa, evil_whimsey, rian219, analise, ashkitty.
