Pardon my fucking French but may I vent? Of course I may.
I just spent 45 fucking minutes composing a requiem for rachellucas.com. It was a beautiful and heart-felt expression of my appreciation for what the blog-goddess has meant to so many of us.
I was introduced to the blogosphere by my friend; Freedom's Slave. And for the first six months of my blog-awareness Rachel was toppermost of the bloggermost. Sassy and smart, thoughtful and fun, and now she's essentially calling it quits.
What a post I wrote!!
And then when I went to post it I discovered that I'd been knocked off-line already.
I read "Access of the fucking website you thought you were logged onto is not available" or some such thing.
Here's the fucking killer: You can't "Back" into a site that you're not connected to. The entire post was gone vanished kaput erased from existence in that blink of an eye. FFFFFuuuuuuuccckkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!
When will I finally fucking learn to post in Word and then copy/paste it to the blog? When?! ANSWER ME!!!
Okay, bottom line: Rachel Lucas is moving on and I'm hating my computer and my fingers and my blog sucks ass. Other than that, there ain't much happenin'.
UPDATE: Wow! I was really p.o.'d last night, eh? Heh heh, I was so young and stupid then...

Posted by: Susie at October 22, 2003 02:57 AMThanks, Susie! Y'mentioned that a few days ago after my other "crisis," and I still haven't learned. I guess I'm just too sated by past problemlessness. (First they soften you up then they drive it in...)
