And before I even had the chance to pack i up, my main computer's screen kinda just... died.

It still works and all, but it's an older LCD that looks like this squarish black and silver box, but the backlight for it finally gave out. I should've figured that it would soon, considering the annoyingly loud electronic noise that the thing emitted for the past week. All I know is that it lasted a pretty long time for something I picked up at a thrift store.

Well... even with my username, "TheMajorTechie", that still doesn't mean that I'm absolutely perfect at stuff like that. Just today, I accidentally electrocuted myself after touching a live wire inside a system, and burned out the floppy drive's circuit board. Until just a few hours ago, both me and my room both smelled like melted plastic.

Bad news, the sequel to A Rut in the Rain is in good until further notice... I'm going through some emotional issues, as well as some relationship issues.

Meh News, I'll be working on a different story while I work things out.

Love, Aura...

P.S. Sorry.

So, I was reading back through Smile because I'm really not sure where my head was at when I wrote that one, and sometimes I like to go back and try to figure that out.

And I finally noticed that when I uploaded it from Google Docs, it included some of the comments people had made on it down at the bottom.

Now I'm gonna have to go back through all of my fics and see if it did that anywhere else...

Man masturbated with stuffed animal at Walmart in Brooksville

Employees say they saw Johnson using a stuffed horse toy and go to the bedding department where he masturbated into the animal.

I've searched, and no articles out there specify which pony his victim was. But my money is on Pinkie Pie.

I don't know how because. I don't see anytging wrong with my gramma

But this is a very sad blog this time

It sucks

I don't want to read them for fear I'll have a preemptive mental breakdown, so I'll guess why it failed:
1. I didn't put actual details about the story in the short description.
2. I failed on basic proofreading.
3. The story is dumb and they just failed it because it's too dumb for the site.
4. Something else which I'll probably fail again if I try to fix because I'm naive.

So you know what? I'm not going to bother fixing it right now.

First, obligatory:

Anyway, this is what I saw when Hot Coffee, my first published clopfic, was approved and appeared on the front page:

I'm typing this blog up on my new Surface RT, but not in the way you'd expect. Taking into account that the only available browser is Internet Explorer, I suspected already that certain sites wouldn't load properly. Turns out that if you use two-factor authentication for Fimfiction, the login page will freeze after you enter your password, because Internet Explorer in Windows RT 8.1 cannot render the submission form for the two-factor auth code.

HowToBasic is the last thing you'd want to watch if you're looking for cooking tutorials...

And it's this one.

[3/5/2015 11:02:04 PM] FamousLastWords: If this gets featured, I'm leaving the site. That'd just be the cherry on the diarrhea cake of the feature box.

I'm not normally ashamed of the fact that I live in West Virginia. But, sometimes, the things I see around here make me wonder if I should be.

Apparently one of my co-workers drives this, because it's parked in the employee lot nearly every day.

Yep, that's a yellow Mustang GT with a set of deer antlers mounted on the roof with a giant wad of duct tape.

Okay, seriously guys. Forget that thing where we elected an impulsive narcissist to the highest position in the land and a sexist homophobic ideologue as his backup. Ignore the part where, if allowed to actually enact all of his plans for the country, he would explode the deficit, send unemployment skyrocketing, and trigger trade wars and economic collapse in four nations, two of which are major world powers (rest of the world soon to follow).

The mobo I ordered a fe days ago arrived...

Dead on arrival. Plugged it in following the manual instructions, made sure I used a PSU that wasn't going to fry the thing...

Magic smoke right when I fired it up. Complete with sizzling and popping noise. The VRM for the chipset AND the CPU fried on first boot, even when I was using a PSU that I knew for a fact worked well with hardware from the time period of the mobo.

Remember how I bought a lightly used Surface RT off of Ebay?

Yeah, it's been used so little that I'm stuck waiting for it to install updates between 2014 up to now. And some of the updates failed as well, so I'm now waiting for it to finish "undoing the changes".

... And then I logged on and noticed my latest stories box looked strange, so I spent 10 minutes trying to fix it, searching for help, and preparing to send a message to knighty... When I realized I didn't have the mature content setting on.
Whoops.

My Surface RT was working well and I as bulldozing through the updates, and I even managed to properly log onto Fimfiction.

The problem?

Turns out that Microsoft just barely released a botched update at the end of January that's been bricking Surface devices all across the board. Guess what just happened to my own?

Don't you hate it when you get a song stuck in your head for multiple days just because it came on over the radio?

'Cause I've got Lady Gaga songs stuck in my head for the past couple days.

hmm hmm hmm, just putting the finishing touches on chapter 27. Yep, that's looking pretty good. Maybe I'll just start on chapter 28 a little before going and posting it.

Wait, didn't I do that exact same thing already, when I finished chapter 26?

Uh oh. I was just going to start on 27 a little, before posting 26, and then I went and finished 27! I forgot to post 26, and just moved on to 28! Sheesh, I'm gonna lose readers at this rate.

IN WHICH I FAIL TO VALENTINE
So, in my neck of the woods (Central Time Zone), there's still 10 minutes left in Valentine's Day, so I just wanted to write something quick.

I had to keep myself occupied as this is the first time in eight years that I've not had a lovely lady to share the day with, since (as I've mentioned before), I got dumped last fall after a very long relationship.
