This topic has awfully many views, did anyone notice? Don't we have any better things to do than rant and read each other's rants?

There was another school shooting in Finland. Last time I felt something, this time I feel nothing. Unless "oh great, a copycat" counts as a feeling. And people are mass posting about it on this image site that's supposed to be about fun pictures, not a news site. The message got through, now I wish they wouldn't post any more about it.

I know how you feel Seko. There have been so many school slaughters here.. And I say it that way because of how many people that have been killed. It is devastating how many people get killed because of someone that feels the need to go to a place with so many people and start shooting just to let out anger, then turn the gun on themselves.

I've spent the whole day thinking today was Sunday when it's just Saturday. >.< Also I don't have the energy to play Cantr even though I keep the monitor on and log in every time there are new events, I read them all but most of my characters aren't doing anything. Not long ago I had a day when none of my characters were doing anything besides resting.

Well, I might just run out of minutes today. (I have 4 left.) Actually that could be considered a good thing.

I have 6 left. Been a while since I actually have some minutes left. :P

Anyway. RAAAAAAAAAAAANT TIME.
My computer seems to have:
A) A virus
B) become retarded
or
C) had a secret vista update

Because .. >.< Everytime my comp. starts up, it just doesn't.
I have to start it up, turn it off manually and then turn it on again and I get an error message. Only THEN it starts up.
Else it just gets stuck in an infinite loop of black screen - VISTA LOL - black screen etc >.>

EDIT:
ERROR: You have reached the maximum playing time for today. Please come back tomorrow!=

Dang. T_T

Haha, I still have 3 minutes left. And haha, you have Vista. I wish I didn't have to get updates, they seem to make everything worse. Like I don't remember F-Secure antivirus being so heavy on the processor before but since... wait, what? It says it's still 2007 even though I have a 2008 installation package on my desktop and I could swear I installed it. Anyway it has a process that starts running in the evening, usually when I'm watching videos and it makes my whole computer lag, the video goes out of sync and switching between windows is damn slow. I read online that this only happens after the computer has been on for a while so maybe if I rebooted in the afternoon then it wouldn't have time to reach that stage.

My computer tends to be really noisy when I boot it up, after that it's really quiet.
And I have vista because I'm too lazy to install Windows XP. I'd rather spend that time watching Anime.

Speaking about anime.. Another rant... >.> About the Moribito (novel) series.
They only made anime series of Seirei no Moribito, and not of the others.
Just because it didn't give them as much money as they wanted.
And thus they all continued making crap like boobob--bo-bo-bo-oboob or something.

Luckily there's Soul Eater and Clannad to keep me busy.

It also depends on your processor and your HDD size. lol

LOL Well if you live where I do it's actually more frustrating to be sunburnt while not on vacation.

Why microsoft brought a prime evil like Vista to the mortal realm? I wonder if Bill Gates is the antichrist or simply likes to laugh at our suffering.

If i'm not mistaken, i'm pretty sure Bill Gates was no longer with the company when Vista was released to the hoardes.

You get given a plant that's young and healthy, it grows up with you, though gradually it starts to deteriorate. The leaves start to curl inwards, they turn brown at the tips, some die completely.
You figure it wants more space, so you repot it into something bigger with fresh soil. It still looks unhappy, though it does grow taller.
You give it special plant feed, yet still it tucks it's leaves in. You change it's location thinking that has something to do with it yet still no change as it slumps it's shoulders and continues to be depressed.
You try different styles of music, different angles of light, you spray it more often, you spray it less often.
You water it more, you water it less, you try tap water, rainwater, bathwater, filtered water.
You change the soil, you change the pot but still it sulks.

Then one day for no reason whasoever, it spreads it's leaves wide and declares itself happy all of a sudden.

I don't get plants.
Is there a moral in there somewhere?
