azuriteThis is another random-type entry... not with funny quotes or anything (^^;) but stuff.
SirCam Virus-- like you haven't heard of it. It spreads to computers using emails found in cached (visited) webpages in your Temporary Internet Files/History, and contacts in your Address Book. The email is from someone who has you in your address book, or from someone *else* they have in their address book... it's all a bunch of confusion, and hundreds of thousands of emails have been sent out with people freaking over what to do. Someone basically says "Hey, how are you? I send this file to you for your advice..." blah, blah blah. Don't open the attachment. I've gotten 20+ emails of this... even in Spanish, and made the mistake of trusting the sender, even if I didn't know them. Heck, the fact that some of the attached files were Sailormoon images threw me off! McAfee, Symantec, and Kapersky all have nifty removers for the worm, so if you got it, go to one of their sites and get rid of it-- it can either fill up your hard drive with copies of itself, or delete everything on the C:\ drive. So take your pick-- trashed computer, or clean computer. =)
First Time Job-- I've never had a job before. Thanks to one of my friends, I landed one where I come in when I want, leave when I want, etc. All I do is type and scan. I sit in a crowded little office, and I get free lunch from the Chinese restaurant nearby. But I'm on a commission. 15%, which is pretty damn good, in terms of commission. I'm doing my job, promoting the site (www.musicboxsf.com) ^_^; and scanning, etc. But I haven't gotten paid, and the closer we get to school starting, the more freaked out I am about cash. I need supplies, I need to redecorate my room, pay off bills... only in my junior year, and I'm practically off the deep end! What'll I do come college?!
Everything... reminds me of that guy I was crushing on back in freshman year. I've seen him all of TWO times (maybe three) since he graduated, and it's annoying me! I'd rather think about my dog (who is supposedly on a ranch in Orgeon!) or my late sister (whose voice I cannot even remember, damn me!) or where I plan to go for college (I think somewhere with a good Journalism major and Creative Writing course) or what I'm going to do for this damned Leadership Conference in August, or... or... $%^$^! AUGH!
Writer's Block for one of my prized fanfictions... and no response from my MLs. Geh. Where does inspiration come from, anyway?
Banana Yoshimoto and Amy Tan are my favorite authors. Am I weird for liking the writings of Asian women more than "classics" and heavy romance novels? Oh, and everyone and their sister's telling me to read the Virgin Suicides, but what is it about??
... sigh... that's it, I guess... *wanders and sees if any _nice_ people left her notes*
Bai bai!
