The Examined Li(f)e

LANGUAGE WARNING PEOPLE!!!
My laptop has a virus. That virus has completely corrupted the operating system and I can't fix it myself. Its the fucking first day of November for god's sake and I've got research papers to fucking write... Deep breaths...In...Out...Breathe.
I will no take a hammer to it. I am a bigger person than that. Fuck I want to though... the fact I'm not going to has everything to do with: a) my research paper is currently in two different emails and a ups drive still complete and intact; and b)

evindell, the 'House of Wolves' author extraordinaire, totally made my day (I'm holding you to that by the way!) and unconsciously and unknowingly saved my laptops god forsaken and miserable existence. All in one reply.
Oh and yes I did manage to backup all my files before it all went to shit. My NaNo included, although at the moment I can't convince myself to give a damn about that. My research paper is okay, therefore I am okay.

EDIT// Laptop is FIXED!!!!! Staples Tech guy is a demi-god. That is all... still can't find it in self to give a damn about NaNo, at least the plot I chose for NaNo anyway.

Two Year, 5 Months and 27 Days too Late!!!

I could have done with knowing about Family Echo before I lost the complete geneology chart and notations I had finished for my pantheon. It took me bloody months to work it out and now its bloody gone. Lost in the piles of papers that are holding up my matress frame - or at least I hope thats where they went!
Well at least I've still got the bare bones version of the creation myth... But still gone is the family tree of the Royal Line and thats line's usurpers, gone is the notations on the historical evolution of the Regency in terms of the desert country tribes.
Even after all this time it still simultaneously makes me cry and pisses me off.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

How hard is it to call something what it is?
I mean honestly... Although I think it bothers me more because "not the property of the uploading author" doesn't sound like much - actually it sounds like FP and FF (thw writing sites I usually frequent) are saying that some lazy hack borrowed another person's writing when said hack in reality (where the majority of the world lives) stole it. Its plagiarism damn it so call it that.
By avoiding using the term "plagiarism" its almost like they're trying to pull an ostrich. "Lets just do the minimum required to make it seem like we give a fuck but hey we can't alienate the plagiarizers so we'll just say its 'not their property' or something." After all directly calling someone a plagiarist is a whole different ball game than just saying "not the property of the uploading author." In my books at least.
So bravo assholes way to piss off someone not personally involved in this shite oh and make it seem like stealing isn't a crime.

((Taking it too far? Probably, but for christs sake look whats happened in the past month to some people. This kind of crap is what made me stop posting/sharing stuff in the first place... I'm sick explaining to people I know why plagiarism is illegal - seriously no joke - and them not giving a damn.))
