Losses Galore!
<div class="IPBDescription">In the Time of Chimpanzees...</div> <i>I was a monkey</i>
(regular teen angst, please don't read if you want to abstain from my loserness infection)
Vancouver (my city) Canucks: 2 vs Minnesota Wild: 4
- I don't mind the Wild winning, and I hope they smash Anahiem, but *@$*&^!, I was hoping that the Canucks could of at least spent their last minutes aiming for, and shooting at the referees.
Computer: 3 Me: 0
- I had to format my computer again! Having heard about backing up the registry, I thought it was impossible for me to screw anything up this time. But who needs viruses when you have people like me? I thought that that gave me the ability to delete anything I wanted in the registry. Which I did, as I planned to immediately "refresh" the registry with an exported copy I just did a second ago. Only deleting something in the folder, (probably titled "Software", if not, then it was something more important) rendered my ability to OPEN the backed up registry .reg file USELESS! - It is things like this that make give strong warnings about taking ANY technical advice from me. And once again, "running Windows from last known working settings" has once again given a 0% success rate.

Directory of Communications Election: Failure (but still fun at least)
<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=10&t=24260&hl=director+of+communications' target='_blank'>A while ago</a>, I told you guys that I was running for a school position where I would of been in charge of giving the public announcements over the school speaker system, as well as getting the privilege to play bits of music. I didn't get in, but my speech did get quite a bit of recognition. <a href='http://www3.telus.net/confuzor/LASTDOC.DOC' target='_blank'>Here</a> is what my final speech was. While I try to stay away from "what if?" questions, there's something I wish I could of tried differently. You are limited to 2 minutes when giving your speech, and my speech was WAY to under that time because I was reading at "ludicrous speed". Still, it was pretty fun, and I think the guy who did win has a good sense of music. But the bottom line? Loss.
CD Player: Status: Broken (in other terms, another loss)
Good thing that my sister bought it with waranty. But I can't get a new one until she gets back from her trip in Europe, since she has the waranty at her apartment...
Other miscellaneous losses dotted my weeks as well (repetitive school work), but are less interesting...
I hope you found my torment amusing; in retrospect, I would too.
