Song of choice - Aint Goin' Down
('till the Sun Comes Up) - Garth Brooks
Well here it is, it's 8:13am, and I'm writing this entry from my PDA.
I woke up this morning to find my father rubbing my back, which is quite rare because I usually wake up whenever someone even thinks about opening my door (I'm a very light sleeper most of the time). But not only did I not wake up when he opened the door, but he also walked across my creaky floor and came and had to shake me awake.
Suffice to say I was a little groggy.
It took me the best part of a half hour (and multiple instances of my father coming into my room telling me to get the heck out of bed) to actually get myself together enough to get up.
So I got up, and went through my usual morning routine. Stumble to the basement, get my clothes (doesn't everyone keep their wardrobe in their basement?) and make my way to the shower... otherwise known as the heaven of my home. I could stay in that little phone-booth sized cubby forever... maybe that's why I'm so comfortable in my rez room? =s
After my shower I continue with my routine. Dry off, get dressed (everything but my socks), brush my hair, then my teeth, and make my way (socks and PJs in hand) to the basement (yet again) so I can store my PJs for yet another day. I walk up to my computer in my room to print the crib-sheet I was working on last night, but my printer being here at school (did I mention I was here?) I had to email it to myself to open from the computer downstairs and print.
All was going well, I got in to hotmail, and got to the point where I was able to attach a file, but in the process of doing so, I get this message:
"A virus has been detected in the file you are choosing to upload. Hotmail will not permit the uploading of files that contain viruses...." blah blah blah.
Go figure, huh?
Anyway, to make a long story even longer, I went to an online virus scanner (no, I dont have one on my computer... dont really see a point to them) and scanned my computer. Sure enough, in a folder that had been forgotten long ago, lay a program called "Slippery Mouse". Now if any of you are aware of this, like the name states, it basically makes the mouse spaz out from the slightest nudge.
Once I knew it was the "A Slippery Joke" virus, I knew all was well. It wasn't malicious, so I knew I'd be safe to print.
The virus still exists on my computer... probably my dad's now too.. I really should take Norton AntiVirus home tonight and install it on both machines just to be safe...
