"All about chemistry, won't you show me everything you know..."

For the better part of a year, there have been two dates shimmering below my consciousness - June 17th and May 21st.

It is now May 20th, my English Lit GCSE is tomorrow, and I'm on the internet. Go figure.

In all seriousness, I am going to revise. Having made a mental agreement with myself, which was to come online in the morning, check email (done), read friends page (done) and skim through the Dope (not done - the boards are down for another twenty minutes), and then revise, things are so far going to plan. I'm going to read through my anthology again, and when I get bored of that, go on to History ("America in Depression, 1929-1939") and Biology. The only thing I like about Biology is how everything can be explained in terms of surface area to volume ratio or osmosis, so will revise concentration gradients and the importance of solute concentration itself, methinks.

And then - this is all part of the plan, y'see - I'll have lunch and watch M*A*S*H. If it's the episode I think it is, it'll be a worthwhile break from revision (Father Mulcahy gets Pissed Off, yay!). I'll come online again later on - according to tabellae and gamesiplay, today is Hug Your WIP day. I don't really have many WIPS - I can never hang on to things for too long - but I may just dig something out.

And whaddaya know, the boards are back up. Everything is going according to plan. Touchwood.

Fucking hamsters.

I hate LJ. I really, really do. I just typed the longest fuck-off entry of all time - twice.

It ate it both times!

Am now using Semagic. If it eats this I'm going to kill someone. If I were ever going to get sniffy about paid accounts, now would be the time. Aaaargh. Not only are the colours screwed, a whole load of other things are going wrong as well.

Anyway, the entry dealt in part with the Hug Your WIP day. What follows is an extract from the first M*A*S*H fic I ever wrote, which is still a WIP because I don't know what to do with it.

The page cannot be displayed.

I understand one site being down. I even understand two. I can even stretch my empathy just a little and understand LJ being screwed (colours, polls, eating updates, no comment notifications etc).

But I have five Internet Explorer windows open, and each and every one of them has "The page cannot be displayed" followed by the crappy troubleshooting tips we all know and love. That's LJ, the Dope, ff.net, and for the love of God, Google, that cannot be displayed. It's not my computer's settings and as far as I know it's not the ADSL.

Maybe it's God's way to tell me to revise, but I'm so bored. Got sick of all my subjects a very long time ago, and I've even eaten lunch and put my bag together for tomorrow, so what do I do now?

Bored. That's why I'm spamming LJ. Bored, bored, bored.
