Up and Jogging

Hello there! :wave:

I had a lovely little post-birthday surprise from my parents: a new laptop! It's an incredibly lovely thing for them to do considering they would have preferred to buy themselves a new laptop, but nevertheless, I'm so glad to have a machine that doesn't crash or overheat or clatter or have a broken side.

Everything is sorted now, though due to a sudden speaking assessment in my after school French I was kind of distracted from setting this girl up, so I'm returning a bit later than I expected to. And, this also means I submitted nothing over February...

Anyhow, the laptop is dubbed Sally, as suggested by litecrush! :happybounce:
Thanks to MellenAgen for her suggestion of Stephen, and to Darkitteh for her suggestion of Oldi, you can tell why they didn't suit! :giggle:

Lovely to be back! I hope to get working again soon and submit something!

Whilst I have your attention, I must ask you to vote for emoticons and their creators in The Emoticon Awards 2012. You can find the rules and nominees here: fav.me/d5vpsru!


(I'm not nominated by the way, I don't have some sort of some ulterior motive, I just think everyone one there deserves your votes!)

Laptop Buggery

4 min read
 



Apologies for my choice of words but I am not one happy teacup. My laptop, the fair and valiant one, has finally met his last. Yes, he's buggered.

Family to the rescue, however! My parents have offered me their old laptop. Unfortunately, I can only have its use at the weekend, as they need to remove all of its data to make room for all of my stuff. After that I shall need to add my programs of choice to the old thing. This'll take a while, so don't expect me back until about Monday.

I know, annoying, but these things happen. Even then I won't be so active due to an unfair amount of coursework. But I will try and make it on, and I shall try and submit something, since I haven't done so for at least a month.

Anyway, I hope you're all having a better time of it than I! If not, tell me your worries to show me how utterly pathetic I'm being by fretting over this, and we'll try to sort you out, okay? Then at least one of us will be happy.

Quick question: Any name ideas for my parents' old laptop once it becomes mine?

First of all, I think I'll get to the part you REALLY care about:
THE GIVEAWAY WINNERS!!
I used random.org to spit out three numbers, and, to be honest, even I was shocked a little by the first it came out with. But fair's fair, so here are the winners:

happy-gurl (who wins 800 points!)
CelestialFox13 (who wins 500 points!)
Gurinn (who wins 200 points!)

I will send out the points immediately. Thank you very much to everyone to entered and wished me a happy birthday, you're all amazing! :happybounce: And let's not forget that I may be popping round to grant some wishes! ;)

Secondly, today is my birthday! :party: I'm finally sixteen, which is a bit of a wild notion, since I'm considered an adult in some places across Britain. Which is just wow, I've never been an adult before. Wish me luck on finding out what it's going to be like! :giggle:

I decided that, instead of just receiving on my birthday, I should give too! :happybounce:


Hence, there are a total of 1500 points to be won in my giveaway!

First place will receive 800 points
Second place will receive 500 points
Third place will receive 200 points

Conditions
I will assign a number to each person who comments on this journal, then use a random number generator to pick three winners. However, to be eligible for a number, you must abide by the following:

:bulletblack: You MUST be a watcher- I don't care if you watch me only for this then unwatch me afterwards -this is mainly for your notification of any problems during the couple of weeks.
:bulletblack: You CANNOT be one of the deviants in my friends box. You guys could seriously just ask me for the points, okay? I'm here for you, my luffs :heart:
:bulletblack: You can only comment ONCE. ONCE. ONCE I TELL YOU. 
:bulletblack: Do not use a different account to get around the comment limit. If you do this, you WILL be withdrawn from the giveaway.
:bulletblack: I will check the winners pages out to see if they have behaved themselves. I DON'T want bad deviants profiting from this.

In your comment, tell me a wish, be it one for dA, or one for real life to show this little fairy-bunny you're a human/intelligent life-form

(And maybe if they're grant-able and I'm feeling nice I'll see what I can do about it ;) But no begging for anything, please, keep your dignity)

I will only do this if over 100 people participate so spread it around! The deadline for comments is midnight GMT on the 12th of February. Results will be announced on the 13th. Good luck my little teaspoons!

I'm back and it's 2013. And we didn't perish in a flaming ball of fire on the 21st of December. So hurrah! Life!

Also tea.

Oh and look, my New Year's Resolutions:

:bulletblack: Keep phone charged and full of money (Something I am notoriously bad at)
:bulletblack: Cut down on tea intake (Currently at six cups a day...there must be some medical issue bound to that)
:bulletblack: Avoid cake (I do not want to put back on the 2 stones I lost last year)
:bulletblack: Be active on dA (Since I've been horribly inactive these past months)
:bulletblack: Don't be as clumsy (Though that ended at 12:01 on the 1st when I smacked myself in the face instead of doing the arm movements for Auld Lang Syne correctly)

Interesting stuff, huh? Haha no, I'm just boring you now. So, happy new year all, I hope the best for the coming months and whatever happens to you, good luck and godspeed.

Bye my ducky little donkeys :love:
