Computastrophe!

So, I don't know if I mentioned... My computer is completely down. It won't connect to the Internet, not even through an ethernet cord. It went through about a week of sometimes connecting, to pretending to connect, to not even pretending anymore. I'm currently typing this from my mom's Netbook, hoping for my computer to get better.

Today, the same thing started happening to my mom. The difference is that she wasn't as quiet about it. She announces it every time she can't get through, is passive-aggressive about the issue to my stepdad, and she often says "I have ACTUAL WORK to get done," as if my homework issues and trouble communicating with close friends wasn't even important, ESPECIALLY compared to her dramatic distress. Hopefully, when my dad lends me the Macbook Pro from his office while my computer is fixed, I can return the Netbook to my mom and she can stop complaining about this. It's really draining my once good mood.

I know she's not TRYING to belittle my own computer issues, but it's pretty stressful on me to hear her complaining about it every single minute that it continues to be a problem. It's going to KEEP making you lose your connection, Mom, and my dad KNOWS that already... You do not have to tell him each and every time. Not to mention the CONTINUOUS passive-aggressive tone.
"I just talked to Comcast, they say their troubleshooting specialist will be with you on Monday or Tuesday."
"So, in other words, they don't do their jobs."
Which is, by the way, how she responds to EVERY PROBLEM.

Another fun example.
"My concern is that you and Elayna run the same Mac OS. If there's a bug in this OS..."
"Well, YOU'RE the one who has Google right now." *faked sarcastic smile*

I have to listen to this whenever there is ANY problem in her life. It's more discreet when it's a problem of someone being morally wrong, in which case it just sounds like she's being snappy at them for actually being wrong. But in this case, it's a problem that Adam is TRYING to solve and has absolutely no control over, and it's like she expects him to be a magical computer-wizard that saves her from all her problems.

Which is another huge reason for me to hope this is fixed soon: So I don't have to listen to her announce "Turning Airport OFF... and now back ON..." every. Single. Time. Her network disconnects.

Youtube

As some of you guys know, this isn't the only place I blog. I also have a vlog, on Youtube.com! My channel is called "LmeyaGoddess" (capitalized for your spelling benefits). Anyway, I haven't updated that channel in a long time. At least a year, I believe.

So I'll be going back to it! The next chance I get, I'm going to record a new video and post it to Youtube. It may take me a while, seeing as I don't have much access to my usual computer (it's kinda broken, and I'm using my mom's Netbook right now). But I'll certainly try!

Check it out when you can. That's probably where I'll post that Neptune video I promised a long time ago.

The Parent Code - A New Concept

Hiya~ So, I got an idea: Someone should really make a set of rules that parents should follow, that help people really spell out the idea of improper parenting... Because sometimes, the unspoken rules just aren't good enough. I plan to write this out, post it here, and hopefully even get it published here. If any of you have any ideas, please make suggestions in the comments! Thanks!

Ciao~
