50th post :)
It's been some time, I should have uploaded this here a long time ago XD This picture is titled "Within My Reach". I don't want to explain it, go figure :) I trust your literature skills will pull you through, Joel. Stuck? Try my deviantArt XD
I've been at at for 2 hours now, with my torch and screwdriver, removing the casing of the CPU to find the cable being slot into the wrong place, and everything dusty to heck. I put everything back together, connect all cables, switch on the com, only to find a graphic card problem. Great. All for naught, it's going to have been sent for re-service in the end. At least it was a learning experience to keep watch of sharp, pointy ends.
Get well soon D! May the angel of anti-sickness come down and heal your fever =)

Seeing question 3 reminded me of the beautiful lyrics of what I was listening to. I think I shall share it here. It's a OST from Ghost in the Shell.
Beauty is Within Us
O mother dear
Look what you've done
To your forlorn and once beloved son
Why was I born at all?
O mother dear
I'm such a freak
A mutant man, a woman underneath
Why was I born at all?
It's you I blame for all the shame
This anguish and this aching
The mirror turned against the wall
Myself despised, forsaken
*You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark and ugly
O mother dear
I curse you so
For breathing life into your wretched son
Why were you born at all?
O mother dear
I love you so
O please forgive this anger in my soul
Without you I'm alone
It's me who's been eternally damned
Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man
All damaged and depraved
O mother dear
This misery
Has settled like a stain upon my skin
-a vast unspoken sin
And my mistake is much too late
But your mistake was trusting
That out of grief, a goodness comes
And love comes out of lusting
*repeat
You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark I can not see you anymore
"O beauty is within us, mother knows"
"O beauty is within us, like a rose"
"O beauty is within us, let it grow"
O mother dear, let me out of here!
It really suited the episode that came with it. Even on it's own, i really think it's a beautiful song full of emotion from the point of view of the son. See it as you will =)
Because the 50th is special ^^
Balthus
Save your tears, for the day, when the pain is far behind.
