Ugh. As if three essays weren't enough...

My computer just pretty much got eaten from the inside out by a Vundo. I've been wrestling with it since last Saturday, and it finally came to a climax this morning, when it reset my admin password and deleted my system restore points. I had to reinstall windows, and am currently settling in to reinstall every program I've ever owned. It's a long, frustrating process, so I'm set to be in a bad mood clear through the weekend.

The good news is, I learned from LAST time I had to reformat and backed up my friggin' data regularly. I didn't lose anything too far back.

The moral of the story? Back up your crap, because Windows XP has security holes as big as my ass.

You could have just hacked the admin password and then if necessary, reinstalled XP over itself - it pulls the software registry hive so your apps work afterwords.

And your ass isn't that big.

...I have no idea how to hack anything, much less a system password. In that, I fail as an evil apprentice.

Great. Fucking great. Now I'm nervously glancing around looking for spiders.

I didn't send a horde of spiders to Australia hoping they'd descend on Cope in order to cheer myself up. Really I didn't.

I rememeber my first night in Nigeria, there was this enormous spider, like it was covered in fur, on the ceiling right above my head...and I'm like shitting my pants (I was 10) and my cousins are like "It's just a spider, don't worry about it."

That, and all the other stuff made me realize that I wasn't in America anymore. Good trip though.

But I'm phobic of most large insects. Beetles, roaches, spiders, MANTISES. >_< Lil Fuckers.

Mantises are AWESOME. They're like all "rawwwr I'm a bite your head off" but they're so WIDDLE AND CWUTE!

It didn't help that it was wearing a leather jacket with "SPARROW'S GANG" printed on it.

Yeah, I ordered those custom. They're all the rage these days.

He's right. It isn't. But I look for any excuse to post this

AUGH PERVERT SPIDER

Re: AUGH PERVERT SPIDER

Man, that fly is looking awfully tasty for some reason...

SPIDERY GOODNESS IS AN OXYMORON

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away....

Bird-eating spider, more like it.

Horned-beast-eating spider too. OM NOM NOM.
