The good, the bad and the ugly

[cosmolinguist]

The promised addition to my last post was delayed a bit by me finding out my computer isn't working again.

I wonder if the hard disk actually is hopeless now. I should've known something was wrong last night when I tried to save the paragraph-long crap I'd written for my fiction class and I got this message that said there was an error writing to the disk, because paragraphs of text should not cause errors; they're simple! But I was awfully sleepy and thus fuzzy-brained by this time, and so my only thought was Oh well, it was crap anyway as I logged out and went to bed. When I got back from class this afternoon, I saw a note from Sarah that said she'd tried to log in and my computer did something weird. Indeed it was in a very weird state, the one I recognized from a few weeks ago, and so I sighed, restarted it, and went off to the library where they have computers with SSH. But I haven't added anything recently, and there are no big, obvious programs I could delete as I did last time, and so I don't konw what its deal is and nothing has changed except now I really want a new hard drive. But I still have no plastic money so I can't buy one online, and I also don't think I have any chance of getting to a place where I can buy one very soon, so I am despondent. (This is the bad part.)

So perhaps it's appropriate, then, that the thing I was going to talk about was another instance of a friend cheering me up. When paninogirl read my journal entry from yesteday she asked me what was wrong and I explained briefly--it's boring, just money and grades and stuff (this is the ugly part)--and she offered me a hug and said things will get better. I said thanks, or something, and she added, "But until then, there's always masturbation!" Which made me luagh a lot. "It's true!" she said. I told her it was a good point, even though I hadn't thought of it before. Then she said she was going to bed, and I said good night, and she said, "May your orgasms be emotionally cleansing this evening." (This is the good part.)

I wondered where that orgasms thing had come from; she was using it as her away message last night. I decided that it has won my award for the strangest away message I've seen.

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

So when do I receive my certificate and/or other accolades? You did not tell me of such an award! :)

[setharoo.livejournal.com]

I'm curious, what was the away message?

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

"May your orgasms be emotionally cleansing this evening."

[davmoo.livejournal.com]

I should steal that and leave AIM running on my system. It would be interesting to hear my mother's reaction to that when she receives it...

[cosmolinguist]

You'll get your vindication for making the mistake of telling her your AIM name in the first place. :-)

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

You can steal it, but I concur with Holly -- why would you use it at a time when your mother could be IMing you? :) You have to uphold your childlike innocence, after all...even though it's pretty much non-existant. :)

[comradexavier.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't tell you because you were "away" at the time. :-)

If I see you this weekend, I'll bring you a trophy or something.

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

::laughs:: You dork. :) That's what an away message is for...so you can leave me a message while I'm away.

Silly boy.

If you do give me a trophy (which I'm not expecting, mind you), you would be the second person to give me one. My ex-boyfriend gave me one that says, "Sexiest Woman Alive By Far." I haven't parted with it because, well, it's true. ;)

[cosmolinguist]

Yes, but if he told you that then, he would've gotten your message wishing that he have good orgasms. That's what I thought he meant.

See, I always thought you were the sexiest woman alive but I was close. I hope Matthew's trophy is more accurate.

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

I don't understand what you thought Matthew meant. :-/

Are you saying my other trophy isn't accurate? "By far" is implying that others pale in comparison to my sexiness.

Are you saying I'm not sexy enough for my trophy?

::cries in a corner::

[cosmolinguist]

Oh, sorry, my point was that I thought he didn't want you to be wishing orgasms on him (since that's what would happen if he IMed you). Doesn't seem his style.

Of course you're sexy. I just thought I should get to be sexy, too. Don't cry.

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. You never know, though. I don't think you can ever really know everything about a person, no matter how hard you try.

Me having the trophy doesn't mean you can't be sexy, either! Silly girl. :)

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

You're both sexy. Now quit crying and go have orgasms. :)

[cosmolinguist]

Thank you. For the sexiness part; I have to study now and orgasms are not conducive to that.

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

In front of you, right? :)

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

If you like. :)

But I'd prefer to participate...

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

Did you have enough emotionally cleansing orgasms last night?

If not, go masturbate. Now.

Damn I need to sleep.

:)

[cosmolinguist]

No, you need to masturbate. :-)

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

Why do I need to masturbate more than you? Hmmmmmm?

[cosmolinguist]

Because you're the one thinking about it all the time. :-)

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

Just because I make comments about it doesn't mean I'm thinking about it. Should we assume that since your conversations on LJ turn into sex that you think about it all the time? Nooooo. You've even stated as such.

The fact you won't stop responding to me regarding the issue leads me to believe that it is YOU who thinks about masturbation all the time, and is trying to pin it on someone else. :)

(FYI: This comment is all in jest, although some may be construed as an angered attack. :) )

[cosmolinguist]

Hey, you brought up the masturbation in the first place. :-)

(And I'm glad you're not actually angry. I was a bit worried when I noted the potentially-hostile nature of your comments today. :-)

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

You brought up sex first! :)

Am I coming off as hostile? This is the second time this week that I think you've mentioned that. :-/

[davmoo.livejournal.com]

Describe your hardware. I have quite a collection of hardware, and may have replacement parts.

As for getting upset about things, I know its tough not to worry. But I heard a phrase many years ago that, ever since, keeps things in perspective for me and helps me not to worry.

"I was sad because I had no shoes...then I met a man who had no feet."

Is starting your reply like that REALLY such a good idea amongst all this masturbation talk??? [GRIN]

[davmoo.livejournal.com]

Good point...with Holly you never know :-D

[cosmolinguist]

I was going to warn him not to encourage you, but here you've gone and proven the need for such a warning before I got the chance. :-)

Yeah, you've figured out my dirty little secret; I only talk about computers because I'm really thinking of sex. It's why I like geeks. So I say. All this talk about sex recently does not surprise me as much as I think it does. :-D

[davmoo.livejournal.com]

Hey little girl, wanna see my hard drive?

[cosmolinguist]

You did tell me you were looking for new ways to freak my friends out... :-)

I blame this on testosterone

[cosmolinguist]

Oh, everything in my journal has become about sex lately, including board games and malfunctioning computers; perhaps you didn't get the memo.

true that

[1oshminki.livejournal.com]

dude - thanks for the reminder - i need to put batteries on my grocery list

[cosmolinguist]

Enjoy your orgasms. :-)

Re: true that

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

LOL...that is too funny. :)

So do you have a model you'd recommend? ;)

Re: true that

[1oshminki.livejournal.com]

actually ... I recommend www.surpriseparties.com if they have a rep in your area

Re: true that

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I will have to check out that website. Thanks! ;)

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

Ah, orgasms. One of nature's best wonder drugs. Guaranteed to take your mind off of everything else for its duration. Well, maybe not everything - I do occasionally find myself thinking about other orgasms.

[cosmolinguist]

Mine all involve a lot of wishful thinking, these days. :-)

(Don't mind me; I've felt particularly lonely recently.)

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

Aww =hugs=

[cosmolinguist]

Awww. :-) Such a nice Munchkin you are.

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

Loneliness - I know what that calls for. [nibbles ear]

[cosmolinguist]

Awww. You always make me feel better. :-)

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

It brings a smile to my face to know I've brightened someone's day.
