Post Christmas cheer - or not

Honest to god I could cry right now, I'm that exhausted.

Stupid thing, really, but I had to delete so many of my files tonight because the computer downloaded something dodgy and I had to clean it up. It's ten past midnight now and I've been here for four hours (since 8) trying to clean up this mess. In the process, I've lost about 50% of my files. 40% of that I don't much care for (stuff I should have thrown out an age a go) but 10% of it was files and data that I needed. *cries*

In better news, tigertrapped and I are still working on fic together which is turning out to be not only productive but immensely enjoyable. I apologise if I sound surprised.

I'm going to make sure everything is where it should be and then i'm going to sleep. NOT HAPPY.

I promise to make a proper post soon but...

where the fuck is MS Paint??

Please help

Yes, my Christmas was pain free. I had a good time. But there are other things going on. (And no, I'm not talking about computers crashing).

I'm talking about the devastating earthquake that shook South East Asia earlier this week. The death toll is steadily rising and many people have lost everything they have ever owned.

Please donate to the below charities. They need everything we can give them. Because the earthquake ran across such a large fault line, there will be repercussions for months and years to come. Ignoring the monetary/damage aspect for a moment, the fault line intersects the East Pacific fault and will effect East Africa too. People have lost their homes, their loved ones and the death toll only includes those who weren't homeless. So many have been ruined by this tragedy.

The Red Cross, Médicins Sans Frontièrs and Oxfam are three charities/organisations that need our help so that those affected by this tragedy of nature can be given aid.

Please give help.
