grrr!!
relationships can be tough. the feeling of dependence is one that every person in a relationship tends to rely on, sometimes to unhealthy levels. sometimes, when disagreements happen, or when one feels disappointed, let down, frustrated due to the actions or inactions of the other party in the relationship, patience, tolerence and reason are thrown out the window, and one is consumed with enough pent-up irritation that renders a person really, really annoyed. nostrils are flared, feet are stomped, hair is pulled out, and things are thrown around in anger.
such was my relationship with the Internet today.
picnicking on Sunday was fab. the weather was brilliantly sunny and comfortably warm. there was junk food galore and drinks aplenty. i spent the afternoon running around from game to game, and my muscles are still protesting today, but in a good way. even had time to take some pictures with my Cybershot, which i intended to post up today; but thanks to the internet being fussy and temperamental, all my attempts to upload the pictures ended with a prompt that said that my "Document contains no data".
"what? why? what does that mean?" i asked. the computer remained silent, and so i tried again. refreshed the page. entered location of each picture. one. by. one. clicked 'upload' and waited patiently. the little arrows danced around in a circle for what seemed like ages next to the word 'Loading...'. when they finally stopped i clicked on the tab, but was greeted with the same "Document contains no data" message. shut down all programs, turned off the computer and had lunch. when i got back i tried again, and the same thing happened. after a long while, a nap, a shower, and many, many more failed attempts, i finally decided that enough was enough, and i'm going to bed.
because when someone's acting really pig-headed and stubborn and simply won't listen to your begging, your pleas, you have to know when to put your foot down and say "Fuck this, i'm not taking your shit anymore."
and then try again tomorrow.
