I'm a bitch - so sue me.

I nabbed this article from the_it_ship:

Harry Potter and the half-baked print run: 2.5 million books unsold in the US

Lots of unsold copies here in Perth, too, though that shouldn't be too much of a surprise. On the night of the release, a mere 150 people turned up to the early opening in Perth.

In other news, my niece was sitting next to me, drawing pictures of Harry and Hermione and bitching about how it's stupid that they haven't ended up together. She wrote me a little book "Harry and Hermione Flash Book." It's pretty fucking hilarious, it has Harry and Hermione doing 'talk' or 'whoo whoo' (someone's been playing a little too much Sims!). She did a separate little comic where Ginny is acting up herself and bitchy, and I tried not to laugh but eh - it was a cute drawing. Funny thing about Ginny? I never told Emmy a thing about Ginny. All I said was that Harry ended up with her. She totally guessed about Gin on her own! Bwhaha.

Have read a shitload of articles about Ginny being a Mary Sue, most written by non-shippers. I thought that was really interesting, and I'm glad my observations aren't a symptom of my Shippy nature. They've been viewed from outside the collective madness that is H/Hr. Phew.

Anyway, my flu is slowly getting worse and my tummy is ouch. Gonna relax and drink tea.

HELP! Nutscrape!!

Hey. I'm having issues with my inbox. Every time it tries to build a summary file for the inbox, it shits itself. Then we can't download mail. We get the following error:

"This folder is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages."

Now, this 'processing' will not end. The thing is just fucked. Scotty somehow fixed it but he doesn't know how, but that was weeks ago and it's come back.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I know everyone hates Netscape but I have all my mail setups there and I don't want to have to learn how to use a new programme. I'm quite upset about it all.

Bwah.

ETA The problem has cropped up on Thunderbird too!

Help!!!

I can't access my mail!!

More Health Bitching.

Well, it's 10:53 and I'm in quite a bit of pain. I took a Mercyndol but I might have to take another. I'm going to start bleeding significantly any hour now. There are signs of it, which I won't go into for fear of TMI.

I've had no energy for anything for the past two days. I check my mail, read up on my friends list, and sit there trying to find something to do that won't tax me. As soon as I start expending any reasonable amount of energy, the pains intensify, I get exhausted, and it all goes bad.

When I DO keep still and don't tax myself, I feel like cheat somehow. I'm failing school and there's nothing I can do. I think I'm going to have to repeat this term, which doesn't bother me at all cause I like it at school and it means I get to have extra time there. I know, terrible. Plus it's extra time I don't have the jobsearch people on my back.

I am worried about having to look for work in the break. They do that to you, don't they? How can I look for work when I'm in so much pain all the time? I'm too scared to ask the doctor for a medical certificate. I'm scared about the thought of it all. I'm seeing the doctor again tomorrow.

The pain swings around my body, I hate it. It's the worst in my waist area, the middle, you know? I wrote down when I had pain so I can show the doctor tomorrow. I'm going to let him know exactly how awful life has been with this. Hopefully I can get this all sorted out in the break and then I can start fresh next term.
