drdawn has had full control of my computer this weekend. I was able to grab a few hours of PC time last night during the Oscars, but that was mainly to work on the Newsgroup Downloads. Needless to say, I am all out of sorts and strangely well-rested today. I feel like making a list, but to spare the spam I will also cut away. What follows is a little-sister grump-fest. Not even a particularly funny grumpfest. I am so off my game.
Top 10 Reasonsdrdawn Should Not Vid
1. It makes sisabet cranky to share her computer that much. A cranky sisabet does wacky things, like refer to herself in the third person and not even care that she just saw the last episode of Farscape.
2. It confuses the dog. He is used to a certain order to things. I vid. Dawn sits in the recliner and watches 24-hour news channels. Remove that order and he is lost.
3. It makes all of the other vids in progress feel insignificant and less meaningful. Poor little vids. What did they ever do to you Dawn? Why does your pretty, shiny vid have to show them up? They can't help that their song is less than perfect or that their idea is not quite fleshed out fully. Mean. Just mean.
4. www.headtilt.com goes down anddrdawn not only does not move immediately to rectify the situation, she almost doesn't seem to care. The site will be back up when she has more mental focus for it. Or tomorrow. Whichever comes first.
5. The house doesn't get cleaned. What? Like I'm gonna clean? I'm a slob, yo. Dawn hates a messy room. Well she does when she is not all distracted.
6. The source gets all messed up, mpegs are mixed with the VCDs, SVCDs are put back on the wrong spindle, cats and dogs living together - it is end time stuff, ya'll.
7. I read too much Spander. Perish the thought, I know, but it can happen. And sometime, about -oh 4pm yesterday - I hit a Spander wall. It is like a song in your head, except where I would normally be hearing a repeating chorus I see Xander's puppy-dog eyes and Spike's cold electric blue stare. Normally this would be a plus. Not when I am in the midst of getting a statement and I forget the question I just asked. Bad, bad concentration. Less reading/more vidding. It is all about balance. Or is that the power? Maybe the balance of power? Maybe that is what Buffy was illustrating when she was putting the can of pencils on her forehead - The balance of power. That Joss Whedon is a genius.
8. I don't really have an "8" - think of something funny and insert here. Heh - I said "insert" - I'm 12.
9. Vidding givesdrdawn control of AIM. Normally I am in control and she reads whatever I am discussing over my shoulder. Finding out that drdawn and mrmonkeybottoms are discussing Spander without me is disconcerting. I am the one converting monkey!!! [/poutstampfoot]. Also, I wanted to discuss future Du Jour vid collaborations w/ monkey.
And the final reasondrdawn should not vid:
10. She forgets to pay the electric bill and we are cut off. This means no one vids, by the way.
I just re-read the above and it really boils down to me me me me me! Lookit Me! Stop not paying attention to Me! I take it back about being 12 - I'm more like 6. Geez.

Frankly, finding out that you and drdawn and monkey are discussing Spander without me is disconcerting. In conclusion, it's really all about Me.
