I got my period on Saturday and have been in pain, off and on, ever since.

I also finally finished the Secret Circle today, and went off in search of Ethan/Cassie fic, or even mentions. It was about as fruitful as I expected. (THIER LVOE)

Also I have been wrestling with a fanmix. Turns out one of the most frustrating things in the world is having a fairly long fanmix that's only half in an order you like, so you have to keep rearranging the other tracks and listening to it over and over again to make sure it makes sense and doesn't have any weird tonal shifts. I'm taking a break from it today.

On the other hand, I have written more Guardians of the Galaxy fic and made a different fanmix, I will post those in separate posts shortly.

My computer hasn't blue-screen-of-deathed at all since the last post I made, and I have been happily watching Youtube videos ever since. I figure maybe it just wanted me to back-up my files? Or leave it on all night? Either way the problem appears to have gone away, and I have a new Flash drive for saving anything new and important onto in between back-ups.

Also my volunteering dude got back to me and said he was ill again, had 'forgotten' I was meant to be coming in last Monday (that's alright then), and would probably be off until after his annual leave, but hopefully see me again after September 15th. So I figured that was it and I would be at a loose end for the next few weeks - until another volunteer emailed round and said they would still be doing volunteering, just at different, fairly inconsistent times. And possibly without an actual staff member there to answer questions we're not sure about? I don't know. So I might be going in. I might not.

Ow.

ANOTHER Blue Screen Of Death, right as I was in the middle of a big format of my External Hard Drive so I could back my files up anew, which had already unexpectedly taken 4 hours and was only halfway through, that's just great, computer, that's just absolutely superb.

I am concerned that I might have blocked a plug-in and that's what's making my computer crash. Yesterday as I was clicking away from a Youtube page I clicked on a 'plug-in' symbol in the address bar, and it said something about blocking it. I didn't select anything though, I just clicked away from it, thinking 'oh I clicked the wrong thing'. But now that's all I can think of that might have caused a problem, my computer crashed last night when I put on a random Youtube video and then tonight when I opened my Tumblr Dashboard - which I'd already had open earlier today. I have no idea how to check for that problem though, or if that would even cause what's happening now, or how to fix it. Alternatively my computer is just falling apart. Amazing.
