Random Shit

Much as I am a packrat in real life (I have BC Ferry reciepts from 2003, and the last five years of movie ticket stubs, I kid you not), I'm also a total packrat with computer files. Earlier, when the internet was being extra dodgy, instead of doing useful things like sleeping or finishing unpacking, I was sifting through said old files for the sheer hilarity of some of the stuff I've got saved. My old AIM download folder in particular is full of hilarious, because it accidently became a dumping ground for saved files that didn't go anywhere else for a while, plus all the random stuff people sent me - it's got good photoshop, bad photoshop, evil small children, photos certain highly narcissistic friends sent me of themselves, CLAMPesque AIM chat logs, and a diagram showing how Claudia is not like Riff.

My untagged music folder is also full of lots of strange random stuff - VNV Nation parodies, the entire audio track to the Buffy musical episode, and a coffee jingle. Some of this stuff I may upload when I'm on non-shitty internet, because it's the sort of stuff people other than me find funny, and it's way less incriminating. Although most ironic thing I found? A warning that I think we had up on the first version of Yuuzai with the generic 'blah blah blah, some of this fiction is pornographic, don't look at if you're not legal, blah blah blah', and I, the webmisstress, was underaged at the time.

And to keep the topic random by switching to something completely non-related - I was sifting through some stuff I had saved in one of my Google Notebooks, and came across this entry from last fall, and realized I've actually accomplished two of the things on the list - clubbing, and tabletop RP. Eventually, I think I may make a gigantic list of all the things I'd like to do, from big to small, and keep a record of what I actually do.

(Also, advice on getting into likely-full Japanese classes this fall? Second-years register last for classes, and first-years register first, so I am effectively fucked for getting into Japanese 100 and 101. There's always the 'throwing myself on the department head's desk and crying' tactic, a similar application of which apparently once got the Wargamers their own office, but I think that may be a bit much)
