Except not. Many of you will remember the Millennium Puzzle Incident, wherein I originally lost three keys from my laptop due to the overbalance of gravity, the poor placement of a large piece of wood and length of industrial strength chain, and the cheapness of double-stick tape. I have done it again, folks. Earlier, my spacebar was sticking. It took several hard whacks to make it vomit out a single space, resultingin typingthatlargely resembledthis. Annoying. So I dusted it with spray-duster, smacked at it, pried at it, and what do I discover? The entire keyboard beneath the key is bent, somehow, and so the long, stiff plastic key did not have the plasticity (oh the irony of English) to bend to properly meet the center button. My temporary fix? ( I am now lacking the largest button on my keyboard. )My permanent fix was to order a new keyboard. At fifteen bucks, I decided I could afford twenty-two for 1-2 day shipping. It should arrive at the parents' house roughly at the same time I do, being that I'm headed that way for a dentist appointment anyway. In the meantime, I am typing with my left hand and my right middle finger. This, obviously, makes said typing... challenging. So don't expect a whole lot of chat from me for a few days. 8| I will be much more monosyllabic than normal. It's 7am and my hand is cramping. Bedtime. (I love you, Elizabeth Swann, my dearest lappy--but for eff's sake, at this point, what ISN'T wrong with you? 8|) BIG FAT EDIT: Because I am both stubborn and curious, I followed the details of a laptop replacement how-to to at least see if I could see how the damn thing was bent. Turns out the plastic of the keyboard itself is very elastic; it was bent only because all of its layers were stuck beneath the tabs of the surrounding chassis; in unscrewing it at the top, I loosened it enough to allow it to pop level again. And when I went to put my spacebar back on? It had, in fact, only popped out of its supports, not broken the supports as with previous keys. Long story short(er), I have a spacebar again! But hey, in two days I'll have a full keyboard. Wootwoot. (Though now I'm kinda sad that I paid $22 for two-day when I could have gotten regular for five, but eh. This way I'll be replacing my keyboard during a nice at-home lull instead of in the middle of "GYAAAAAAHHHHH!" Otakon preparations. 8D;) Tags: liz, wtf

I Officially Moved In to my apartment last Wednesday (June 17). I have not had stable internet since. By "not had stable internet," I mean "not had any internet in my own apartment, but used the wireless at friends' homes several nights." During these times I did little more than veg, play WoW and check Facebook a couple times, mostly because I was braindead from doing Other Things. I swear, I will give a real and For Srs update sometime this weekend. 'Cause right now I am in my parents' living room and will not be back in the Baltimore area until Tuesday. And my parents are leaving tomorrow afternoon, not to return until Tuesday (after I leave), so I have LOTS AND LOTS OF FREE INTERNET WITH NOBODY AROUND AND A WHOLE HOUSE AND A FULLY STOCKED FRIDGE AND FREEZER WOOT WOOT. I am so braindead right now I will explain that tomorrow. NOW I WILL CHECK LJ AND DA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN. IN. UH. THINGS. ....Brains? (Yes I am on WoW now. Ahaha. I'm on the Venture Co. server if anyone else is about.)Tags: apartment, internet, life, random, update

Gay penguin couple adopts abandoned egg in German zoo. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/06/05/gay-penguins-adopt005.htmlMan, the article comments. Some serious gems in there. My favorite, I think: "If homosexuality is natural and is something you are born with and have no choice in the matter, how can we account for bisexuals, who seem to be able to choose which way they go, or prisoners who choose to become homosexual in prison.
If homosexuality is natural how come nature has not come up with a way for homosexual's to procreate.
The reasoning of the homosexuality is natural crowd, would also be that a child born with a deformity is also natural."... The reasoning of the homosexuality is natural crowd, would also be that a child born with a deformity is also natural.deformity is also naturalUhhhhmmmm. DUH? Some people. Sheesh. But!

Blah blah updates blah went to required play last weekend blah missed meeting ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) redrebus with suspenders4cats because of needing to stay in Baltimore blah dressed up for drag ball at MICA blah missed it because the play ran over blah will be pictures when Elizabeth gets un-lazy enough to upload them to Facebook blah blah. There you're up to speed for the entry. So among the other dress-ups that I did, I changed all my earrings for my outfit to be even more ~GLAM FABULOUS~. I was a little wary about changing the ones in my left ear, because the oldest of the three has been infected in the past (it's a re-piercing from when I had to let it grow shut because of infections), the second in the lobe is ALSO a re-piercing from previous infection (though the re-pierce is currently infection-free in history), and the third is in the cartilage and not a year old yet. Cleaned the fuck out of them, though, once I changed the earrings back: washed both the piercings themselves and the earrings I put back in. And yes, I'm still wearing the white gold, slightly-thicker, pointy-ended studs in the two newest holes, to keep them open and uninfected. Should have been as careful with the right ear. I don't know if I didn't clean it well enough, if it hated wearing a non-silver/gold hook, if it hated wearing a hook/dangly earring instead of a stud, of if it hated me sleeping on that side the following night, but it was infected the next morning. Been steadily leaking clear fluid every time I bother it, and sticking to the stud in a most unpleasant fashion, hence why I keep bothering it. I keep cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide; at Scott's on Monday night, I smothered it with Neosporin. Still hates me. So about five minutes ago, I took out the stud, soaked the piercing with hydrogen peroxide, and let it be for a little bit while I went to work. Cleaned the stud with hydrogen peroxide, slathered Neosporin on the piercing again, cleaned the stud again, this time with Germ-X (alcohol-based hand sanitizer). Then? Pierced the stud through a spot-cover Band Aid. Re-cleaned the piercing with hydrogen peroxide, soaked the pierced Band Aid pad in the same, and put the stud back in. Now it's slightly stingy, but perpetually covered with hydrogen peroxide while no longer uncomfortably/unsanitarily sticking to the stud. And, I keep a stud in the piercing, so it shouldn't grow shut on me (I'm sick of paying for re-piercings). ( Looks pretty fuckin' ridiculous, though. )Hopefully this will work without any major fail. >| This is the one lobe piercing I have not had to have re-pierced (despite multiple previous infections), and I don't feel like starting now. Anyone have any suggestions for infection-raping agents other than hydrogen peroxide, Neosporin and Germ-X? They're what I have on-hand, unless I decide to get drunk and put some nail polish remover or dish detergent on it. (Thinking that would be the opposite of a good idea.)
