I know there has to be a few tech savy people out there that might be able to help me with my problem. My PC has been doing some really weird crap. I all ready had one of the tech guys at my job look the computer over, and he said that it was fixed. It actually worked for a couple of weeks, and then it started to screw up again. I figured it had to deal with something I downloaded, so I uninstalled the download, and it worked again.

If I’m doing just normal computer stuff (checking e-mail, surfing the web, etc..) then it is fine. Though, once I load one of my games (The Sims 3 or Dragon Age), my computer will play for maybe five minutes, then it will crash. It takes me to a blue screen first (with a different error each time), and then my computer tries to reboot itself.  I should mention that it makes a strange beeping sound when it is trying to reboot itself.  Now I’m not able to turn the piece of crap computer on.  I’m at a lost. I mean, my PC isn’t even that old (a couple of years at the most), so it shouldn’t be doing this. It seems like my only option is to take it to a computer place and get it fixed, but I wanted to throw the problem out there to see if anyone else had any ideas for me before I started spending my money on something.

Thanks for the help, if you are able to help.

They totally start today! I can’t wait to watch!

Curling! Ice Skating! Skiing! Snowboarding! Whee!

We now have (legal) internet access.  So _yay_.  We’ll be time jumping everything on the first or second.  I tried to pick out a good fun ’song’ for our happy return but what do you know… I don’t think everyone wants to hear any of my short TMNT ‘We’re Back!’ tunes. … over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over…

Ok so I’m at my aunts and _she_ has the internet.  Thus I am using it.  As far as I know I’m not going to have the net Monday and onward to the 31st.  So sad.  I just wanted to let you guys know how the trip was so far.

NOTE: If there are mistakes in this post let it lay.  I have driven for over 10 hours and am quite jittery and on the stupid laptop which doesn’t have an ergonomic keyboard.
Hrs - Description

1 - We get no more then up to ‘Danville’ and Jassidy (large cat) will not shut up.  The ‘Moaw’s come in tune with the music   but he has a reason… we pulled off and found we needed to change his diaper.  That would be the entirety of the dog carrier we were transporting the boys in.   Rainy (little cute cat) is oddly quite and both children are behaved as Demi holds them and I play pooper scooper with tissue paper.

2 - Cat starts up again… and this time with no reason save for being pissed or bored.  We ignore him until both of us realize Rainy has not meowed a peep so we become nervous.

3 - We’re really nervous.  Rainy is silent like he’s dead and Jassidy is going at the meow-marathon like some champion. We check, they’re fine.  We got some Mc Donald’s and I nearly threw up mine (managed 4 whole chicken nuggets).  I do not like to eat and drive. You can guess where the rest of the food went given the cats are stuffed in the back.
4-6 - So we finally pull over in dumbfuck hick land.  The cats are both fine.  Our wallet isn’t.  Gas was $2.50 /gallon.  I may as well have sold off parts of Demi’s body to pay for it compared to what it was going for in Fremont, CA.   Also of note… the local working the station may as well have been a robot with how personable she was.  We use a bathroom that smells like some refurbished port-a-poty and get back to the climb. We’re around Mt. Shasta and FINALLY Demi comes to the realization that volcanoes and historical natural landmarks are cool.  I’d put money down it was her Geo class a while back.

7 - Welcome to OR… and the locals who drive faster then most Californians I know or have seen on i-5 (or as I call it: the West Coast Autobahn).  Issue is…

9 - …I’ve been in Oregon for TWO HOURS going 80 miles per hour and I have YET to get OUT of the mountains!!!  There is like THREE freakin’ mountain passes all of which are choked like a heart attack victim with _3_ trailer pulling Fed Ex trucks.  I mean, ‘long load’ my ASS.  More like pardon my giant caterpillar or noby-noby-truck.  The things don’t even drive in the SLOW LANE when going UP a hill.  They use the SHOULDER.  Of course the moment they start to descend they get haphazardly into the slow lane and may as well bump off any, oh let’s say silver 2007 PT Cruisers who happen to be IN the lane at the time.  Yeeeahhhh so in CA we don’t allow more then 1 trailer to be pulled by anything.  Frankly, in that regard I find CA driving regulations superior to OR.  I also find that the people in CA know how to FUCKING MERGE onto the highway.  I will not recount every time some idiot SOB decided to nearly STOP their car to let me go by as they merged.  For the love of petro you are supposed to discern speed and MERGE in not YIELD.

10 - So ten hours later and ten phone calls attempted we are coming into Corvallis’ territory.  My Aunt Joann gives us some verification on our Google Map directions and we (for the most part save for there being a highway 228 and an important exit 228 of which I needed to take) arrive at about 6:30pm (Left around 8am).

Uncle Dan and Aunt Joann let us in, feed us and we get the cats put into the room we’re using.  I suppose so far so good.  Fucking truckers and stupid idiots who can’t merge aside, the trip was ok.  Made it all the way in 1 day.  Tomorrow Pop should be here, if he lives through the MOUNTAIN PASSES, with the rest of my _life_ packed in his truck and the U-Haul trailer.

Well, I figured I would go ahead and follow in Spyder’s footsteps. I’ll post a couple of pictures of myself when I was a little girl.

This is a very simple picture of my dad, mom, and myself. I couldn’t have been more than 4 years old at the time.

 Okay, so I was five years old in this picture. My mom made the dinosaur costume for me for Halloween. I actually wore the thing to school, and my tail got stuck on the bus.

Lookie I was cute!  I’m the bigger one pre my brother burning my hair nice and short.  Yes it’s Christmas and yes I was the unlucky one to have to wear ‘grandam’s sweater’.  However all was made good by getting a hug from Donnie!

This is Great America.  The ‘plus one’ is my brother Chris and the hand is my dad, Jack… not that it matters.

Any ways, look at what they made me wear.  Now some of the mystery of why I became an asshole is unveiled.  I had the long hair… I was put in grandma’s bought clothing… and I was shadowed by annoyance in pure form (my brother).

Just sharing a little history for the shits and giggles of it.

Funnily enough, every time I write a politics exam on a Monday, my Laptop completely crashes the day before. This time, lucky me, I don’t have to turn in an essay for a University class tomorrow, which completely vanished and I had to rewrite last time I wrote a politics exam on a Monday.

So, firstly, I’m REALLY PISSED OFF AT THE MOMENT.

Secondly, I WILL be able to post once in a while, but not regularly, since Yahoo doesn’t work (don’t ask me why) on the computer I’m using at the moment. I can use the ones at school, which is rather annoying, because they take longer to load than my laptop ever does, and it’s SLOW.

Last time it took my brother and my dad 5 weeks to get my laptop running again. My brother is coming home in 2 weeks but going on holiday right away, so who knows how many years it will take this time. Until then, I’m sorry if I’m a bit slow at posting.

This is starting to get on my nerves. Either way, just when I thought I was getting better, it decided to hit me again. Only this time it is worse than before! I know I’m going to be slow on posting, so I’m very sorry.

 I really hate having lots of different screen names around. When I signed up for my gmail account, I wanted to use ‘evafortuna’ which has been my yahoo and deviant name for a while now, but it was already taken by someone, so I defaulted to an old name I used, aureallis.

 However, this brings me to the opening line; I hate having lots of different names, or even one or two different names. I’d like to consolidate everything, Deviantart Gallery, Yahoo!Groups, email, and everything, all with the same screen name. I don’t -believe- aureallis is taken over at dA… but anyway. I wanted to ask you guys, since you’re the ones I talk to most, what your opinions are. Do you prefer “evafortuna” or “aureallis” or maybe me coming up with a new one? I realise that this comes down to my decision and it’s my screen name and etcetera. But I’m indecisive and I like them both. Thoughts? Comments? Anybody?

Sooo I was looking online for a place to post my shot stories and fictional writing.  I didn’t find anything that had promise or/and didn’t charge me for simply sharing my creative work for no benefit to myself.

So I used the Bloggger deal with Gmail and I made my own damn blog.  Check it out.  Harass me if I don’t get a story in on  Monday and go ahead and sign up.

IF I SIGNED YOU UP FOR EMAIL and you didn’t want me to it’s FINE, you’re just often one of the people who read my stories and I figured it was a courtesy to sign you up.  I’ll take ya off and just ask me when I have updated or check every Monday.
