Just got my schedule for school.
I don't have anything with any of my friends (that I know of), and more importantly, none with my girlfriend. Same thing happened last year.

I'm pissed.

I can't log into my XP account (Vista one works fine), and since the computer is a pre-built, it had XP Media Center Edition pre-installed on it already...I'm not sure if I can use my XP Pro disc to repair it.

I honestly have no idea what caused it...I didn't install any new software or drivers, go to any questionable sites or anything...it won't even let me log in while in Safe Mode.

I'd be very grateful if someone happened to know a fix.

Gah, my schedule is all messed up, they put me in classes I've already earned credits for, taking my senior release away

. So I need to change it, changing schedules the first few days of school is a real pain.

I figured it out myself (neither of those links would have been helpful, but thanks anyways). I did a few things in the Recovery Console/Safe Mode then Tural suggested I do a dskchk...which I probably should have done first. Turns out there were a few bad sectors that needed to be repaired...it took about an hour, but I can log on now, so...=|

I just got a dang rug burn on my elbow where I already had a huge scab from being at the beach and trying to body surf this huge ass wave, it was at least 10 or 11 feet no lie. Instead the wave breaks on me so damn hard that I sratched up my elbows, knees, and the side of my face.

my computer got messed up bad, and i think it's steam's fault. it worked fine before i installed steam, but afterwards, it occasionally crashed for no reasons and wouldn't let me log off or shut down properly, it would just crash instead. so i tried to repair the installation, but the disk couldn't copy some files for some dumb reason or other, and now it won't start up at all.

I spend 2 days working on assignments for Uni and then as soon as I'm about to finally relax and do something I want, my parents come back from their holiday, dissallow me from doing so, my brother is in the other room so I can't go in there...So now after doing all that I get stuck up in my small room with nothing to do but feel angry. On top of that every darned wed-fri or so my "modeller" for my last mod, seems to disappear off the radar, so then I can't update my thread for my last mod.

Screw it, at this rate I'm not going to be able to finish my last mod which was going to have all these unique weapons in it...I was really looking forward to making this, give the Halo 2 download something to really look forward to. I seriously can't be bothered if I'm on such a timeline, having little time to actually mod and then when I can, the people I depend on aren't there and then I can't really do anything, and then all these people decide to ask for help with modding at that moment making me feel worse and angrier that I can't do so myself...and the fact that the people that are asking me don't even bother *TRYING* to do things before asking. The time it takes them to add me, wait for me to accept and then type up their 50 paragraphs of text which repeats itself would be enough time to test things out. I do help people when I ask...but when they don't even try to do things themselves its just stupid. People should be modding for fun yet they just want to be spoon fed...Where's the fun in that?

I've always modded for fun, I do generally have fun making weapons and skinning but when the above happens it annoys me...I'm used to doing most things myself, so when I end up depending on someone it just sucks and I hate having to pester people to do it for me because they are doing me a favour to begin with. Its only worse when they say that they'd get it to me before thursday...By my calender the thursday I was referring to was last week...Meaning I asked you to do it 2.5 weeks ago. I'm feeling my last epic mod won't really be going ahead...

I just wish I could do everything myself and at once, be it skinning and modelling and weapon creation, that way I'd never have to ask for help and end up depending on people that won't do it. I'm also betting on the fact that the people I asked to help me with skinning, don't even remember me asking them.

*sigh* I guess I'm just over angry at not being able to relax and mod or even do anything right now.

edit: Just to say though, whilst it seems like I'm bashing people, well I'll just say I'm frustrated...I'm thankful that you people actually say you will do something for me...Especailly when you follow through with it ;p

Damn, that really sucks. Hopefully you'll find time to relax and have some fun and hopefully your mod will pull through. I've recently given up modding (not that I've released any mods on here) out of frustration. Things just weren't working, the map would somehow get corrupted, or I would find myself low on resources (models for example). It sucks. I had a huge series of mods lined up with full storylines behind them and plenty of new features not commonly seen in the mods that are being released now. I had set it up to fully customize the game: introduction video, campaign maps with extra co-operative patches that have their own 2 player features, versus maps and AI elimination maps. Oh, and I was one of the people that pestered you so I'd like to apologize for that. I was pretty stressed out with the mod and just shit in general and what I really wanted wasn't working. (I had run various tests to try to get it to work). Anyways, shouldn't have just assumed you would be grins and giggles over it.

Again, good luck with everything, hopefully things will work out.

I dunno what happened, earlier I kept seeing old builds of the steam UI on which was weird, It got fixed when i uninstalled and reinstalled it, though I dunno why it did that in the first place.

Yeah well JK47+andrew_b, that's great and all, but poor me, I just moved to a new town and I have no friends at all

My older, older brother (I have two) is a disrespectful, inconsiderate fuck. I'd elaborate, but... I don't want to. =\

That is all.
