For anyone who may have the foggiest idea about computers, two very important (for me, anyway) questions.

I've had my laptop about nine months. Aside from the occasional freezing, which happens to every computer, it's worked like a dream. No complaints. No sign of glaring flaws.

1. Last night, a few of my keys started acting up. My 2 key would display 23, my w key we, my s key sd, and my x key xc. I couldn't figure out why and it persisted. It happened briefly with the 3, e, d, and c keys (32, ew, ds, cx), but that went away fairly quickly.

I took off the keys to check if anything was catching underneath them -- nothing. If you press the rubber portion of the key directly, it did the same thing.

Does anyone know what might be causing that?

2. When I took off the S key, the black portion holding the rubber bit to the keyboard broke off. I'm somewhat at a loss as to how to reattach it. Anyone know how, or have any other ideas as to how to keep the rubber bit in place?

I feel a bit guilty, because the laptop's less than a year old -- and also, I type at 101 WPM, and having keys missing/screwing up and forcing me to type slower is extremely annoying. Help, someone?

Support Denmark, y0.

Oh yes. Announcement...type...thing. XD

As promised, I will be on AIM and MSN more often now that I'm free. MSN name'll be the same (my Hotmail addy, mme_enjolras), but I've made with the new AIM screenname, for no reason other than I've had the same one for about two years now and I'm bored. XD

New screenname's stylus et ensis, because I am cool and know Latin. Or something. XD; So add me and IM me and whatnot. *love*

Hokay. So. I had the urge to, out of the blue, make a really really huge musicpost. Mainly because I had a variety of songs under a few categories I felt like sharing. And the list sort of...escalated from two or so into seven categories. Fifty-two songs. So...a few of my favourite things ("the best of", so to speak -- or rather, "the best of" what I have, compiled from fanmixes, other music posts, and my own CDs). Enjoy! :D

( We Will Rock You )

( Queen )

( A Capella )

( Movie Soundtracks (The Prince of Egypt and Moulin Rouge) )

( Matchbox 20 (and Rob Thomas) )

( Grab Bag -- two each from Franz Ferdinand, Billy Joel, Guster, and Live )

( Medley -- a little bit of everything )

Feel free to direct anyone you want here, O Flist -- I spent forever compiling this and I'd like people to make good use of it. :D; Will reupload any songs per request. ^__^

I DEVELOPED MY FINAL ROLL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY TODAY. ^___________^ As people who've spoken to me on the days I develop film can probably tell, I'm insane with anxiety the day before and absolutely ecstatic once it comes out. For one, because you put so much creative effort and time into shooting the film, and then it takes thirty minutes to an hour to develop, and you really want it to come out well, y'know? And for another, photography is a really big deal to me -- I love art, but I've always been terrified that I suck at every form of it. But I'm doing well in Photo, and I love it, and Ms. Loeffler told me I have talent. :D :D :D The roll came out excellent, and -- eeeeeeeeee. ^_________^

sfhdjasdhfjkahfa I have insane amounts of reading to do for USH, omg. x____x

Memething yoinked from Ally, Gabe, and 'lona -- I love this one, so ask away. :D

The problem with LJ is this: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then, post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Merry Orthodox Christmas! <3 ^___^

Have we mentioned I love my father?

More as information develops and I experiment with the range.

Observe as Maja tries to write an English essay and instead lets her brain (on three hours of sleep and a USH DBQ) take over.

"Diction is very important to life. It is also apparently importany, whatever the hell that means. Who cares, anyway? WTF was that "q" doing in "anyway"? Also, fingers, there is no "m" in "anyway", WTF. And this really has no relevance to anything and will be deleted soon anyway and dammit I really lose at spelling and this tis me typing swithout suding backspace and this is really really fnui and this is the onboibgengjhdukghdrukghoreurit anyway. Ahem. Longest run-on sentence ever except I justr stopped ity a while ago and - lost my trasin of tjought. ... Anyway. Yes. This is me typing resally really quickly and not using backspace and isn't it judy? ... That was supposed t0 be "fun". Not "juidty." nAnyway. We're done now. AND THIS SHALL BE DLETED NOW. WHEE."

...There's a reason English essays take me so long, obviously.

An observation by a classmate on the first five chapters of Jane Eyre (in which ten-year-old Jane suffers abuse from her aunt and cousins and is sent to a boarding school): "Oh, it's just like Harry Potter!"

BEBBEH. PANDA.



(it's small, so you don't get a cut. nyah. :P)

EEEEEEEEE. PANDAPANDAPANDA. ^_____^

Thiiiiis is a post for Allysis, so she can spam me.

It has no other real purpose.

Um.

If anyone else wants to, go ahead. XD

BOO.

At school. Exhausted. Attempting not to stress over having so much to do augh and being a bloody idiot. So far it's working surprisingly well.

I have, like, ten minutes, so if anyone's on say hi. XD

Also, hi, I just spent $75 in Borders. I'm still boggling.

How Ana and I communicate when I've lost my voice.

Me: *is changing, so locks door*
Ana: *knocks* Maja?
Me: Mmmmph.
Ana: Can I come in?
Me: Mmm-mm.
Ana: Why not?
Me: Mmmmph.
Ana: You're changing?
Me: Mmmhmmm.
Ana: Oh, okay. *goes away*

Tell me something you hate about me. Please. Make it blunt, make it straightforward, make it tactful, make it hard, but make it honest. And don't say things like..."you have low self-esteem" or whatever. Please, make it something real. Even if it's stupid, even if it's petty, even if it's something I can't change. Make it anonymous if you don't want me to know I said it. I don't know how to log IP addresses and am too lazy to find out who was who even if I knew how, or wanted to. I don't care. I just want to hear it. No matter what you want to say, please say it. There has to be something about me someone can't stand.

...that's all, really.

THIS IS POST #777.

You know what this means, of course. Aside from the fact that I wrote 111 entries in two and a half months.

It means...that God approves of this entry. Because I text her, of course. (<3 Rainee.)

But it also means something else. Yes, you know the drill.

SPAM TIME, AGAIN.

Have at it, dearlings. ♥

So I definitely got four hours of sleep after the most amazing opening night ever. Seeing the whole show tonight for the first time, thoughts will follow.

And...in less than half an hour after waking up, between about 6:10 and 6:30, I wrote a little under 700 words on my NaNo, after a week or so of not writing anything.

I've been insanely happy/bouncy/hyper and insanely exhausted/sleepy/tired all day.

I'm possibly going slightly mad.

Is it normal to still have a post-show high fifteen hours after it opens?
