Rejoice! \o/\o/\o/\o/

Well. I'm rejoicing. You may be thinking, great. now she can spam my flist with posts about glittery boys again. skyblue_reverie's husband IS A SAINT. He managed to get rid of the virus and restore my system restore capabilities so I could do a system restore, and so now I am back to pre-virus state. I am very happy about this.

But also hungry. So we're going to get lunch now. I'm sure I will be back later, though :D

It's that love time of year! __tiana__ was just saying that this reminded her of elementary school and making those little envelopes or boxes to put on your desk so that everyone could come around and put tiny superhero or puppies or princess valentines in it. Only Valentines Day was when my mostly entirely un-crafty mother decided to get crafty, so I didn't have storebought cards like everyone else, I had ones I'd made out of construction paper and paper doilies and stickers. I think I like this new version. Less glue, and more sincere messages :D

and here is my thread over at fab_feb_friends for today's post a picture meme. like so:
A picture is worth a thousand words, but can you guess the word that inspired the picture?

Today's activity is a photo meme. Drop your name in the comments and link the thread to your own journal.

Then, ask you friends to go to Google images and type in one adjective they think describes you. They should pick one image from the first page that comes up, and put it in a comment to your thread. See if you can guess the adjective they used to get the image they picked! [Very sweet and thoughtful friends can fill you in later if you are completely befuddled and can't guess.]

In other news, I am having an intensely frustrating and infuriating day, part of which involves the fact that the modem at home is dead, and the internet at school wasn't working. I am now in a cafe. But might have seriously limited internet for the next few days until the new modem arrives. *weeps* I am hoping to get hooked up tomorrow so I can go and give you all some anon adoration ♥♥

Does anyone know how to either go back to the previous version of Firefox that would allow me to watch videos on sites like youtube and cnn.com (or anywhere else, really), or how to make the new Firefox 3 let me watch them? I'm SERIOUSLY regretting updating now.

apparently the secret is to uninstall and reinstall.

I have been trying for three hours to install the printer driver for my new printer onto my new computer. It will not f-ing do it. I've downloaded the driver for Vista from the HP website but it won't install. I've tried to access it on the disk that came with the printer a multitude of ways.

It says: Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it.

The extended attributes are inconsistent.

Wonderful.

I'm starting to want to just scream until my ears start bleeding. I've googled and looked at troubleshooting on the HP site, I've read documents that make absolutely no sense at all, I've eaten lunch and started over. I've checked for solutions in the control panel menu.

nothing is helping. Don't suppose anyone out there has advice?
