Well, first off I've got a bit of good news. Actually... it's the only good thing I've got to say. xD Dad put my laptop back together, so I've got it back. The downside, however, is it's exactly the same as when I gave it to him. Turns out, the part he was going to replace is soldered into place. To take it out would take a lot of work, and he'd practically have to dissemble the entire machine, even take the motherboard out. So basically we agreed to just put that off for some other day. I'll end up having to lose it again for anywhere from a few days to a week, and I just don't feel like it right now.



But enough about that, onto more important matters. As all of you should probably know by now, my laptop and Tanner are the two most important things in my life. My laptop because... well, it let's me communicate with friends, do school shit, draw, etc; and Tanner because she's literally my best friend. Well, Tanner might not be around much longer. Megan had an appointment with the allergist yesterday, and turns out dogs are on the loooong list of things that she's allergic to and that irritate her asthma. Long story short, the allergist is pretty much hell-bent in convincing my mom to get rid of my fucking dog. And I was right there with them. So, in order to keep my dog, mom insists that I vacuum the entire house everyday. Oh, and she's not allowed upstairs anymore. Mom throws a shit fit if she so much as sits in the hallway [although, my room is the only room she /is/ allowed in. She threw a fit this morning because she was convinced she saw her in the hallway. She was in my room. With the door /shut/. And if I don't follow these new "rules" to her perfectionist standards, she's going to get rid of my dog. That does not make me a happy camper, no way in hell. I already told her that if Tan goes, it's a package deal. I'm leaving too. I'll just pack and go live with Gran; finish high school up there. I'm serious, I'm that fucking dedicated to my bloody dog. And that probably makes me look like a retard. But hey, to each his own, right? c:



Lastly, what the hell happened to the damn dA community? You've got people jumping others for having characters that even remotely resemble their own. "Popular" artists sic their hoards of fans on anyone who pisses them off in the least. Some get raving mad if you so much as mention the word "sparkledog" anywhere around their pictures of their characters. There's backstabbers, assholes, thieves, and just plain old retards bumbling about the site and just pissing off hoards of people and causing drama. I swear this site has gone to hell in a handbasket. Sometimes I even wonder why I stick around here..... then I remember that there /are/ good people who are still around. It's the kind people who make this site worthwhile. Guess I just need to learn to ignore the idiots. Oh well, I've said my bit. I'm done ranting and feel all the better for doing so. Have a cookie if ya actually read all this, you deserve it. xD;


tl;dr. Laptop is working, in danger of losing my dog, and tired of dArama. The end.
