Now I'm pissed

I had an awesome post set up, but then my computer came unplugged, and I lost it.

This sucks. I can't rewrite that right now. I'll try later on. In the mean time, know that I'm here.

***Edit***

I've just discovered that my favorite program for LJ still works for Blogger., and IT automatically saves stuff.

I'm much relieved, but I am still disappointed at that last post.

Pretty please?

Okay, I'm a paranoid freak.

Could y'all comment in here somewhere so I know you're finding it okay?

It would mean a lot to me.

Thanks.

I'm A Dork...

Have I mentioned that I'm a dork?

Probably not, since this is the first time I've posted here...  You have to start somewhere, though, right?

I've had a LiveJournal for years, but they're getting silly with ads and paid accounts and random Russian people subscribing to things.  It's not what it used to be.  The advantage of LJ used to be that there was a social component that wasn't available in many other blogging software and sites.  With networking sites like Myspace and Facebook taking the place of such things, LJ has kinda' lost its edge.  Icons?  Please... I can upload small pics to Picasaweb and use them just the same way, and THOSE are unlimited.  So I've decided to try this for a while.

And for my first post, I've decided to show you the laptop bag I made out of duct tape.  It's dorky as all hell, but I'm quite proud of it!  It started as a blue Shop N Save bag or two, which I used for basic shape.  I saw some instructions that said to use shapes cut out of cardboard, but I didn't want anything that firm.  I wanted it to move, more like fabric, and this bag does just that.

Now that I've gotten a first version of it done, though, I may decide to do another one, a bit more tailored to my laptop.  I'm thinking camouflage with black accents... kuz I'm butch that way.
