Someone's being a bitch...

Not me, mind you. The one in question is FanFiction.Net. For some reason, every time I try to upload a document, it comes up with this little message:

An error has occurred while processing your request.
If the problem persists, please alert site admin via http://support.fanfiction.net.
All errors are logged for administrative and security purposes.

Only problem is, the link leads to nowhere!!

But isn't that so bloody typical? It's like a statement of our times. The state of the world can pretty much be summed up with that: An error has occurred, but when you try to alert the admins, nothing happens! This error message is the most profound thing that has ever happened to me!

That or I'm being sarcastic/need sleep desperately. My money's on option B.

Speaking of money, the government mailed me a cheque for $58 today. I know it's because I did my income taxes and all, but the fact that the government sent me money has got me all paranoid. Like if I spend it, they'll have the cops on my ass quicker than a fat kid on fudge *shudders*

And speaking of fudge (or chocolate in general) Easter ended up not being so bad this year. The only family we had over were my bitchy aunt (who wasn't much of a bitch, for once) and my grandmother who would forget to breath if it wasn't a base function carried out by the lower brain. As per most family gatherings, I hid upstairs with my brother till it was time to eat (watching Naruto Shippuden X3), only going down when it was time to eat and say goodbye.

I'm not a religious person (but that's a topic for another rant), so I don't really follow/celebrate/remember holidays unless someone points them out to me, or I actually pay attention to the media bombardment that seems to happen for almost every holiday. The only holiday I actually remember on my own is Halloween (because I get to dress up in costume and get candy from strangers).

I used to look forward to christmas, because christmas=presents, but the fact that everyone in my family (outside of my parents, brother, a cousin, an aunt and uncle and my cat) is either a racist, insane (clinically insane, not fun insane), an uberbitch, has an ego the size of the Horsehead Nebula, or is just too dumb to put two and two together really takes away from the merriment. But in addition to all that, they all seem to have this massive Emo streak too!

At most family gatherings, half the adults are talking about all their health problems/how they wished they had died when they were in the hospital, while the other half are either screaming at each other over some discretion that happened seven bloody years ago (so get over it, for fuck's sakes!) or going on and on about how great they are, and how everything they do is just perfect.

Oh, and the Eastern Canada relatives are always belittling us Westcoasters, like we're a bunch of po-dunk hillbillies living in the woods with no concept of society, and no ability to drive in crappy weather (which is just dumb, because the only people who have gotten into accidents in my family were the East Canadian aunt and uncle, and that was because they, on more than one occasion, exercised poor driving habits in bad weather). Sure, even I sometimes say that we live in a po-dunk part of Canada, but we aren't hillbillies! We've got some class, yo (and we don't inbreed or shag sheep either).

Huh, that rant deviated from what I had in mind. Ah well, I suppose I needed to vent, and what better place than the anonymity of the internet!

EDIT: I just found out that my cousin, who is six months younger than me, is going to be a father in August. And for the record, this is very fucked up.
