out_thereYou know, I'm loving the fifty icons thing. I'm getting all fandom whorish about it. Smallville, Sorority Boys, West Wing and Sports Night. All big fandoms and they have the icon count to prove it. (Mind you, I could do with a TW/Clark icon. He is very pretty, and yet, I have no icons of him. I think that's kinda fundamentally wrong.)
All the same, I have my Girls icon back in rotation, and I would revive my Glasses icon if I still had it (you know, the "I think glasses are sexy" one?) but still, I'm kinda happy with my icons. Some are gorgeous (generally the ones not made by me) and some are not so technically great (ie. the ones made by me - the JC one is truly shocking *g*), but I like them.
I have my three original icons back (Procrastination, Welcome, and my little President Lex), I have icons that make me laugh (Such as my "Whoosh" icon, which makes me grin every damn time I see it. Man, I can just *hear* Dana saying that.)
The "Waiting for Mr Right" one may go, though, simply because that doesn't really describe me *at all*.
Okay, you know what, Mum? I didn't change the entire set up of the computer. We did change it from connecting to the internet automatically because it hogs the bloody phone line! I have not miraculously changed the entire set-up of the computer!
Yes, to connect to the internet you need to click on the connect icon, and then the IE icon. The same way that we do it everytime you have connected since you moved down here three weeks ago. Every time. It's the same friggin' way. It hasn't suddenly changed to spite you!
*grrrrrr*
While I'm bitching, I did buy it from you for $1400, and that was a damn good price for me, since it was $1700 (when new 12 months ago). You want to buy it back? Fine! Buy the bloody thing back and I'll save for something else. It's not like I'm stopping you from using it, it's just that you're having a bad day and can't get the bloody thing to work!
And, you know what? If I'm selfish for forgetting to call you for a lift last night, so you don't want me to ever bother you by calling again, fine! I can walk home from the station. I'm a big girl.
*fumes*
Man, it's surprising how quickly one bad phone call can translate to a really bad mood. Of course, a good part of this is the receptionist's fault, because mum would not have been in such a temper if the phone hadn't been ringing for *five bloody minutes*!
Instead of sitting at her desk, answering calls, she's wandering around the office organising Secret Santas...
*grrrrr*
ETA: And, as it turns out, why was she having trouble connecting? I'd forgotten to pay this month's internet bill. That was why she couldn't get online.
Man, there's nothing worse for a righteous fury than realising you were in the wrong.
*hangs head*
