jade_sabre1) Things like this at once tick me off and make me thumb my nose at people who get applications on Facebook. Granted, just about everything's technically an application these days, but it reminds me of way back when, when I got my first invitation to become a zombie and tootled over to get the application. "Hi there!" the application thingie said. "Prepare to have all sorts of fun with your friends BY GIVING OUT YOUR INFORMATION TO A RANDOM THIRD PARTY."
"Uh, no," I said, and that was the end of that. And so, from my morally superior situation, I laugh at everyone who adds every application known to mankind. Dear God, was I this much of a snob in high school?
2) Everyone please say a prayer/light a candle for the repose of the soul of my laptop. According to Mr. OIT Man on the phone today, there is something called a "partition" that is distinctly missing from my hard drive, and as a "partition" is the first step to "being able to load things onto a hard drive," it appears that my disc has been completely wiped clean. Now, I haven't let other people (i.e. my father/any geek friends I have hanging around here) get their hands on it too, but, uh, thank goodness I loaded my Fiction and Fanfiction folders onto my thumb drive?
I have this empty spot in my soul, next to the black mark signaling it's been almost a year since I went to confession and right between my heart and my sternum. I'll, uh, let you know how it goes.

Lemme know if you want me to try and get stuff off of it.
And, I hate Facebook apps too.
