Bono: "And so, you know, if you're standing in front of a rock and roll band with a drummer kicking you up the arse and a Marshall stack deafening you, there must be something of the exhibitionist in you."

I..there is far too much hotness in that sentance for me to even get into. mmmmmph. <3

For the record, mice without scrolly buttons aggrevate me to no end. I keep trying to use the thing and it's not there.
And disabling right click - whether in windows on public computers, or on websites - should just never have even been invented as a concept.

I am insanely tired, but surviving, thanks to Killing Bono, which I'm eagerly working my way through (despite having a stack of library books and things I ought to be reading). It's fun, it's about trying to be a rock star, has good lyrics, and it includes the most random little U2 anecdotes, which amuse me endlessly.
*laughs gently* ..this poor guy, even his book *about* all of his dreams coming true for Bono and not for him, was undoubtedly purchased by nearly all U2 fans, because it's U2/Bono-related...the irony is ridiculous.

*yawns, rubs eyes* Now where the feck is my group? ..not that I'm anywhere near awake enough to be at all helpful in forming a strong argument for proprietary software against open-source software (especially when it's not exactly an easy argument to make), but, y'know. I'm sitting in a pretty visible spot, so hopefully they'll come in and see me, and I don't have to wander about trying to find *them*. (Especially since yesterday in class, I didn't even realise at first that they were my groupmates when they sat down by me to go over a few things.. people-recognition is not one of my strong suites.)

Oh here they are, bye for now. *g*

If you don't see me around for awhile tomo-- later today, don't be alarmed, it's gonna be a day of doom (provided I grab some sleep tonight and don't conk out halfway thru the day). Classesclassesclasses, can grab a quick nap or some time online between classes, then after my last class, meeting with my groupmates to discuss this debate we have to present on open-source vs proprietary software (we're on the side of the latter bleh..that, and I think I'm the only one who quite grasps what we're talking about, at least so far)... From there, catching the bus to walmart to get some additional supplies for my costume (our Hallowe'en party has been effectively nixed due to household conflicts, so going to glbsu's Masquerade Ball on campus Friday night, which'll be fun), should be able to get back to campus just in time for vap, joy of joys.. if all goes well, will be back before 10, but meeeeeh. x____x this cold has me completely sapped in terms of waking energy, nearly ten hours of sleep last night and I could *not* keep awake today.

In happier news..
THERE IS VIDEO OF THE DALTONS EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! <3 Will change my sharing folder on aim to my desktop - there you will find Daltons (two files), the official vid for "Vertigo", full version of the ipod video, and Bono in a ridiculous(ly cute) top hat, speaking in (what I think is passable) Spanish, intro'ing the mtv latin america awards. I adore. <3

Also.. I GOT A 100 ON MY FLASH PROJECT WOOOOO!!! \0/ Will get it online someday, once I get the thing to work properly - last time I tried, the thing refused to completely load when I flung it into geocities.. *shrugs*
U2 got positive comments too, not just me. *giggles* S'all good, yo. ("U2 add that magic touch", etc. heee.)

p.s. Daf and Laur, you had a chance to look at the Mackie fic yet? Don't worry if you haven't, I'd half-forgotten myself, I've been so mad busy these past few weeks.. Just drop me a note with any feedback suggestions etc. whenever you do. ^_^ Thanks madsupertons~~

*SPAZZES THE FUCK OUT*
So the lyrics to htdaab are online it seems (will link when Megs links me *g*), but Megs sent me some teasers and omFg BONO!!!!! he GANKED my idea and I'm not even kidding.
Or Edge did. Cos this's a bit Megs cited as being very Edgelike but dude!!!!!

From "Crumbs From Your Table":

From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole

I *so*---- omfg.
look.
and there's a thousand other places where I've used the idea that the brightest becomes the darkest...and ok maybe it's not *the* most original concept but holy fecking crap yo.

Bono (or Edge) and I are writing the same sorts of things.

That messes with my head like nobody's business.

*bounces about impatiently for the album to be released*

*cliiiiiings to the lifeblood that is the internet*
So I have it back...but only cos I'm running a fecking wire from Meghan's room to mine. Good thing the fire code inspector guy was here *last* week.. e_e; Someone'll be coming out next Tuesday afternoon to poke at our wireless network, but y'know.. at this point, they should really not charge us for awhile, it's pretty damn close to a month total we've been sans a network. x_x

Meanwhile.. Bear, our cute lil black kitty? ..is being passed on to one of Britt's friends back home. Levels of fear about our landlord finding out have been rising the past few weeks, person A really only gave in to having her here so person B wouldn't be pissed off, person C let person B talk her out of fears, person D never really said anything.. then person D prank calls an unwitting persons B and C, claiming to be the landlord, and sends the two into an hour and a half of crying and flipping out trying to figure out what to do... which leads to person B not speaking to persons D and A at all, and everyone but person C, who's trying to be an intermediary yet be true to her opinions as well, hiding in their rooms so's to avoid further confrontation.
It has been a really shitty couple of days.
And I was sick yesterday, had a headache of *utter* DOOM, couldn't even fucking move the entire day without feeling I was going to throw up. (Needless to say, skipped my classes, shouldn't've missed much though.)
And to top it off? the landlord stopped by unnannounced today - which he's never done, he's always called first. So Bear got flung into a bedroom and apparently the landlord knows nothing of the cat, but he's stopping by again tomorrow to go over some of the fire-code things (what, a week later? wtfe).
Person A saw the landlord's truck and called the house, where person B answered and tore person A a new one, for what would seem to be no reason (well, no *new* reason, anyway).
So no-one's talking to each other still, except, again, for little-wanna-be-peacemaker-me..
And Britt's going home this weekend, taking Bear with her to give to a friend.
*sighs heavily*
I wish more than anything we had another option, I love the little darling.. and I'm usually the *last* person to go with what my head says over my heart..... but everything really does stand against us having her here, the landlord *will* eventually find out, so..... better to deal with it now and not have to face him about it, and not lose the $1200 total security deposit...

Haven't died, though our network did. Again. And they can't get someone over to look at it 'til NEXT FECKING TUESDAY, so in the meantime they suggested I just run a fecking wire...which's what I'm going to damn well do, bought another one today in case mine's not long enough - hopefully the shorter one'll be enough to get to Britt's comp, 'else I'll just have her get one tomorrow.
Stupid fecking--
grrr.

...didn't I vote against wireless from the beginning? x_x

..and thats just one of the troubles......goodness.
