KITTEH HATEZ LAPTOP

KITTEH HATEZ LAPTOP

What seems to be the problem?

Not sure, some how the screen is looking really funky.

Lets see. (opens laptop) Curious, your hinge feels a little askew too. Did you drop it open or something?

Nope, didn't drop it. Not sure what caused that.

I see what you mean by the unusual screen (feels with finger) Curious, feels like it has been scratched.

Hmm. I wonder if that's the "Tiger" itching to get out (nervous chuckle)

Uh. Ya. Anyhow. Well. Not sure what to say. Oh hey, it looks like your battery is almost drained, do you have your power adapter, lets give it some juice while we are talking.

Oh ya, here ya go.

(looking at magplug) Curious. What happened here?

Not sure.

By chance sir, do you have a cat?

Well, I did. He recently passed away.

Electrocution?

How'd you guess?

I'm sorry for your loss sir. I'm afraid these damages aren't covered by the warranty.

~ma and hugs all around. I'm sorry that this has been such a difficult year for so many people. You are all in my thoughts.

Apparently telling TCG's stepmom that I am back on antidepressants and really not feeling well at all was not enough of a hint to get her to stop asking me when we're going to book the wedding. Sigh. I'm starting to get really panicky about the shower on Sunday.

{{{sj}}} You're the guest of honor - let other people panic about your shower. You should just sit back, relax, and enjoy.

ETA: Also, I'm sorry if my mini-rant on showers in Natter has added any stress. I am a grump who is not generally a party person, so please take my opinions with a grain of salt. Plus I am positive that your shower will be fabulous as you will be there!

Just prepare a stock answer for that question and use it any time someone asks. "When we know, you'll know" Or "We don't want to spoil the surprise" or whatever. Poeple are always curious about weddings. Also, many folks will ask as part of trying to make polite small talk and don't really care about the answer.

No, not at all. I was just sharing my opinion and experience. I hope I didn't come off as snippy. I'm just not feeling very well. I have days when I can feel that the ADs are working, and I feel so much better. Then I have days when I'm still very very depressed. Plus I have a uti, and my sleep schedule is so very fucked up. I sleep a little bit one night, and then way too much the next.

{{{sj}}} No, you did not at all come off as snippy. I think I came off as grumpy-pants. I hope your meds kick in quickly so that you feel better. I am weaning off of mine and am wondering if that is why I'm grumpy lately...

Sean, Drew, this is crazy. I hope you both start spending much less time in hospitals as soon as possible. And Sean, lots of good advice here--I hope it works.

I went to a cemetery showing of Rosemary's Baby. It was very effective. That was when my movie buddy and I fully realised we were underusing the cool of LA.

Oh, I am DESPERATELY jealous. How fucking cool.

I was extremely grumpy pants about the plethora of baby showers, wedding showers, and weddings I have been invited to over the years. I figure it's my turn. I never thought I would get my turn, so it's kind of weird.
