Nothing particularly bad, I think I’m in a funk induced by flamenco last night and enhanced by pmt. grrrr.
Re flamenco. I don’t want to be in your happyoukai. I do this for fun and recreation, not stress. Everyone else has been learning the rumba for three months, I’ve been learning it for 5 weeks, here and there. And _I’m_ the _slow_ learner. I’m not doing it and that’s that. *stamps foot, crosses arms and pokes tongue out* Now, maybe I’ll be able to attend extra practices without blurting this out. Seriously considering stopping flamenco after it though. I started it for fun but it’s not something I want to commit lots of timne to. I don’t practice outside of class and that suits me fine. I don’t care how long it takes me to learn the dances as long as I enjoy it and am not stressed. I’d rather focus more time on photography and poi, and maybe that’s what I need to do. I seem to do so many things that I end up not really ‘doing’ anything. Will give it a couple of weeks though, see if this is a knee-jerk reaction or something valid :-/
Funky mood makes things seem bad and then they do go bad. Ever noticed that? Today, to the point of silly: I managed to knock over a whole line of bicycles outside the supermarket. Yay for candid camera moments. Not.
And now, I come home looking forward to settling on a main email, sending out advice to all and sundry. What do I find? An email from a friend saying they can’t read the email I sent last week from my yahoo account. So that decides it I figure. Login to vurt and lo and behold, my vurt account won’t even send the email.

blah blah blah blah. Whatfuckingever. I don’t understand this shit, I can’t work out the playlist system on winamp or winmedia, I can’t settle on a new account by which people can contact me, and I’m just so not in the mood for being reminded how bloody inept I am at things which I want to be good at. I want something, but I don’t know what. I want to cry and I want to punch things. Most of all, I just want out of this funk. What the hell happened? Please can it go away now?
Fine. email not gonna play nice. so be it. I am resolved, computer goes off tonight, gets put out of sight, and doona and dvds come out.
Tomorrow will be better. Yes it will. Because I say so *nods head decisively*
Good decision. My laptop chucked a wobbly about a month ago now and I spent a very stressful week downloading everything of importance to my thesis from it (successfully thank god) and trying to fix it and it didn’t work. I started getting serious stress induced tummy troubles, so I just put everything on Niels computer (which he luckily doesn’t use that much) and put the laptop in a corner. I will deal with it later. It’s later now but I’m still not ready. Computer hassles are somehow more frustrating than many others. And email is such a lifeline when you are away. I feel for you. I hope empathy helps (or is it sympathy? I can never remember the distinction).
your empathy does help muchly
(empathy: you can understand the person’s feelings and feel with them; sympathy: you feel for the person but don’t nes. understand the feelings…at least that”s how I think of them. *looks in‘s direction for confirmation*)
Why is it computers can be so much more frustrating than many other things? I think I wouldn’t mind all that I don’t know about it if my email was working. But just the thought that I’ve mostly been off email for over a week now, and still can’t send out new address is so frustrating. I guess this is my wake-up as to how much i rely on email for my connection outside of here, and here really. I’ve lost all details thus far about my trip to vietnam, and no emails seem to be getting through to the group coordinator. Eek.
Maybe will try out stuff tomorrow again ;-/
thanks for the empathies.
How’s stuff with you? Glad you were able to get all your thesis stuff backupped. Oh my gosh, what a major stress out.
*hugs*

my guess is its simply a missed typed email addy
there is no k.vodafone.ne.jp as a user at vurt.net
hugs
k.vodafone.ne.jp is one of many jap mobile phone emails.
what does it mean by no k.vodafone.ne.jp as a user. in the email addy I was typing, it was their user name at k.vodafone.ne.jp I didn’t get why the bit after the at mark was switched to the username place in the error message.
Just tried again, double checking email and same thing.
