Looks like I'm adding another keyboard to the graveyard. I was making a post when suddenly my keyboard started to act as if I had the control key held down, and pressing both control keys didn't "unstick" them. I tried to restart my computer to fix the problem, but now none of the keys work except M, space bar, caps lock, and backspace, with M being enter and backspace being a letter. I can't log into my own computer, because it thinks I'm still holding control, even if the keyboard isn't plugged in, meaning I can't go into ease of access and turn on the on-screen keyboard.
I've only had this keyboard for less than 3 months. Ever since I left my parents' place I've been cursed with crappy keyboards. When will it end?

My keyboard does this, but fortunately it is fixed by unplugging-replugging it and then hitting that corresponding key.

And my bandwidth for the month is up. Took me 4 days to burn trough the one gig. Oh well, I should be heading home by the end of the week and that means limitless internet MUAHAHAHAHHA!!!

DOWNLOAD ALL THE THINGS!!!!!! _^(soon)

Was playing a bunch of Dungeon Robber (Darn you, Aqizzar), and came back to it and lost all my progress... Sad.

Oh my god.

Just oh my fucking god.

I wait all week just cause I want to play some TF2 or whatever with my friends. I get interrupted when I need to take my sister to school. I then need to go out and buy some kerosene to power a large space heater we have, because our furnace just now suddenly decides to break. I have to drive to a far out one to get the kerosene, I get it, then drive back, and somehow, someway, it's tipped over in my car and spilt maybe almost a gallon all over the back seat.

I'm just pissed. I don't even know how smelly this shit is gonna be, I don't even know if it's DANGEROUS, just that it pisses me off.

And I don't get to play with my friends nearly as long as I'd like.

The good news- It evaporates quickly, so that's nice.
The bad news- the smell will take a lot of effort before it goes away. If it ever does.

Also try not to leave your car closed up and in the sun, although that's down to common sense.

I have to take my driver's license test tomorrow.

AGHRGRHAGH!

I took the damn thing twice, paying for both the theoretical and practical exam. Both times I failed because I've been short a miniscule amount of points (3 the first, 2 the second time - meaning literally one question).

Good luck. Remember: you want the highest score possible - extra points for hitting elderly and children.

Play some Carmageddon to get you in the mood.

Despite this:

Today was a rather good day. It was "global day" at school, which basically means that we got some exotic workshops and some explanation about charities and so. Also there were noodles and stuff and an African band (although I didn't actually see them properly) in the lunch break. I'm in the student council so I got to help out with guiding the people who were doing the workshops to their rooms because they obviously don't know where they are, and I spent an hour shoveling noodles into cups (which wasn't that bad). We also got one room for ourselves and there was chips and candy and drinks and we filled the blackboard up entirely (one guy even made an awesome drawing from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.)

I'm actually feeling fairly shitty. Can't stop thinking about her, even though there's no reason it happens today instead and not other days... (the particularily shitty feeling)

I have a Chemistry exam on Friday, and I cannot study that shit. I am physically unable to do that. There is a ton of stuff that I could find interesting otherwise, but my lecturer has a superpower that allows him to suck away all the possible excitement someone could muster about the subjects to fuel his unholy existence.

Scrdest, that's this amazing thing known as the education system.

Nah, I had other courses that weren't utter shite. I loved Genetics (although I probably didn't do as well as I expected to on the exam yesterday), and Organic Chemistry was, at least partially, OK.

[MrWillsauce]

You get more points the faster you drive, right?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Yeah you don't want to drive too slow and cause an accident.

On my practical driving test I actually got marked down for stopping at sleepy residential intersections I didn't need to stop at. You're just supposed to slow down and keep a sharp eye, I guess.

As far as driving tests go, follow the law to the letter even if it doesn't make sense.

As far as actual safety goes, your biggest danger generally isn't how you drive*, it's usually how the rare incredibly crazy driver coming at you drives. Defensive driving is what will keep you safe, and that involves being paranoid about every turn, lane change, merge, and intersection. Watch those blind spots like a hawk and always look around corners.

*exception: Drowsiness, being high, distractions, etc. Anything that takes your attention away from the road is what you should avoid to make sure you're not the rare incredibly crazy driver coming at someone else.
