It's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind (every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine)

I have failed at updating the past few days, and I'm sorry for that - it was mostly a result of generalized exhaustion, because driving on wet roads makes me tense and twitchy all day long. Luckily, it cleared up the last few days, and yesterday was lovely and bright and sunny.

We got to see lionessvalenti in Ohio, and stayed the night at her grandmother's house. ...we didn't sleep much. Mostly, we stayed up talking about Torchwood and fandom, tried to write a little, and then... ended up putting on Countrycide, which was either a mistake or the best thing ever, because Tracey got a plotbunny of doom that I will be so very disappointed if she doesn't write.

And then we had a short drive to see yetregressing, who is OMGSOTINEH and adorable and I kind of wanted to steal her and take her with us. ...but that would be wrong, as she has parents who would worry. ONE DAY.

Stayed an extra day in Alliance, because Beka didn't want to drive moar, which was fine except for halfway through the day there was a weird Silent Hill siren we could find no reason for. It was not a tornado siren. I know for sure there were no tornadoes that day.

And then... the trip through Pennsylvania and New York was kind of meant to take two days, but we got to where we were planning on stopping and weren't tired (also, we got confused by the disconnect between mile markers and exit numbers, and briefly thought we'd fallen through a tiny rift somewhere on the highway). We are in Ithaca now, and I'm not sure it's sunk in that we're done driving. I has a Jae and a Pat and a Pen, and we had adventures in Ithaca last night (with too many dots), and today Beka and I will poke around and find a place to live. Wish us luck!

ShitfuckBEARS.

ARGH. WTF. Never has this tag been more applicable.

So Gwen was working fine this morning. Which is obvious, because I made a post.

And then I set her down, and plugged her in because her battery was running low, and walked away so I could, y'know, get dressed. And when I came back, she was OFF, not hibernating like she was supposed to be, and would not turn on. The light indicating she's plugged in wouldn't even turn on.

Sooo, I kind of hate the world. Waiting for Pat to get home to see if he can find out what's wrong - I'm most weirded out because I have been having NO problems with either her or her power cord. There is nothing wrong with that computer, except that out of nowhere, she won't turn on. *Headdesks forever*

At the very worst, she is still under warranty, and as long as I can get my music and my OaS plot outline off of her, I won't DIE, but argh. So very frustrated with the world right now. If I'm not around for a little while, responding to tags, whatever, THIS IS WHY.

...SO MUCH HAT.

OH MY GOD. So I unplugged my computer. And pressed the power button on the off chance something would happen. AND SHE TURNED ON.

And when I plugged her in again, everything turned off.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND, BUT I'M KIND OF PISSED NOW. OMGWHAT.

*Flails*

And my battery is very low, so the "not going to be around until I figure out what's going on" still stands. *Headdesks*
