I hate technology.
I just spent 5 fucking hours trying to upload a 12 MB file. >.>
To answer the obvious questions that are coming.
1) Yes, I have a high speed connection.
2) Yes, I used all three web browsers (IE, Firefox AND Opera) to try and upload the damn thing.
2.5) Yes, I tried different computers
2.75) Yes, I tried different internet connections at different locations.
3) I found out on the 4 hour 30 minute mark that it wasn't my end's problem.
4) The damn new web service that my newspaper uses to host our website doesn't allow us to upload files over 10 MB.
5) I immediately e-mailed a very politely worded nasty letter to said service and used sendspace instead to upload the file to spread to our subscribers.
6) I also e-mailed my boss and explained said frustrations, as I usually upload several 10MB + pdf files a week to update our website.
7) I'm hoping we go back to the old service, which was a kertrillion times better.
Seriously, when you can't upload something over 10MB, doesn't that just make you want to scream?!!?!?! Especially with newspapers when we have Indesign and RAR files that can get up into the 30 MB filesize and the combined PDF's for all the pages, which can reach up to 50 MB in some rare cases.
BLARRRRRRRRRRRG

At least that's 5 extra hours I get paid for. ^_^'

X is for Xanadu
2009-05-05 23:23:58
Mmmmk. So I finally got down and watched a few anime.
Air: I was VERY dissapointed with this one. I guess it was because it was so hyped that I was expecting something... I dunno... Happy go lucky?! The ending just... Sucked. >_>
The Girl That Leapt Through Time: Conversely, I was VERY impressed with this one. Not a thing like I was expecting it to be, and I'm glad. It had a sad ending like Air, but at least it was hopeful! Although I'll be the first to point out the time traveling future man cliche. >_>
________________________
Blah... I've been trying to find some sort of paradise, a Xanadu lately. It's hard to come by when you live with your parents and your friends ignore you frequently.
I guess its since my mom chewed me out the other day. She basically just ripped out every insecurity that I have at the moment.
They're offering to pay everything for me expense wise while I'm in college. But sure enough, I knew what was coming.... She basically called me a spoiled brat for not bowing down to their feet at any beck and call. More or less, I think they're attempting to buy my opinions and values.
But I did make a strange realization as of late. I'M FUCKING ELLIOT REED FROM SCRUBS (minus the boobs and bajingo of course...). I'm serious. That's me. Word for word in real life. If you ever want to guess what I'm like in real life, just take a big honking look at her and you've got it. >_<
This came (bcecause like Elliot Reed whose parents paid for everything to get her through med school, and ignored her friends cries of financial anguish) because I too have become jaded to the fact that I'm not up to my ass in debt.
I should be damn grateful for what they've given me and just take the shit that comes with it. Many of my friends work 2 jobs and live in shitty apartments just to go to college, and here I am on a silver platter being served everything I could ever hope for and STILL bitching about it!
That's pretty much what my mom said too. I think why it hurt so much is that she was right. I am a spoiled brat, and why it hurts so fucking much is because I'm smart enough to realize that I am.
The one thing that I'm most insecure about and I fall to pieces. >:(
So now the past few days, I've been in and out on the emotional roller coaster. Anger, depression, more anger, more depression, lifelessness.... Blah....
So what do I do about it? Well, pretty much nothing. I don't have a well enough paying job to get an apartment, pay car insurance and payments, and pay for my textbooks and college fees (although my tuition is paid for...). I'll just live in my self pity and distaste of myself for 3 more years.
I guess in a way, that's kind of like a job,. Ok, so not really. ^_^'
Man, I'm such a whiny bitch on these journals. But its my only method of bitching I have in life, so there. :P

Maybe I'll find Xanadu one of these days. I think next semester I'll just stalk the library until closing time and try to get a girlfriend. -
A is for Air
2009-05-05 00:22:37
I finally got the movie version of Air! My local rental store got it in tonight, and I was happy to be the first person to grab it up. :D
However, it was smudged where some idiot held the disc wrong and that irritates me. >:(

AAAAAAHHHHH! I'm soooooo busy. >_>
Somebody shoot me. -
M is for Midnight
2009-05-03 01:35:42
BLah. Here I am at midnight, exhausted.
But it was an ok day after a rough start. I got one of those "you don't do anything but mooch off of us" rants from my parents. Which, granted, is true. I do mooch off of my parents and live with them. My college funds not covered by scholarships, my books, my car, my gas and everything is paid for by them. But the retards OFFERED to pay for it! When I was first getting into college, they told me NOT to get another job, NOT to live off campus, NOT to pay for anything. Ugh... IT's just irritating.
But enough about that. I've already cried enough over their stupid harsh words today.
I got to see the girl of my dreams today. Her name's Vanessa, and I'm crazy in love with her. Of course she doesn't know because I'm a coward, but just being around her makes me happy. :) I'd be more than happy to tell her, but she's not interested in a boyfriend at the moment. Plus, she's trying to get into a college that's out of state, so she's not planning on sticking around. She's going into Video Gamer modeling, which is a long ways away from little podunk town here in Arkansas. >_>
But I'm more than happy to just enjoy her presence and be around her. :)
Well, I'm exhausted, so I'm heading to bed. :D
