*sigh* There's a time when you shouldn't give up if you could help it, doing your best until the very end. And there's a time when you just haveta throw in the towel.

Because I didn't want my opponent to be continually winning by default, I decided to try at least one super-rific page just to give her a fair challenge. About seven hours of devotion, and it was honestly looking spectacular. BUT. I started saving it one last time, and the damn computer SHUT DOWN. In the middle of saving. So...I open the file and come face to face with one blank layer were about ten layers should have been. Sooo....fuck it. But at least I've learned that comic competitions aren't really my cup of coffee. I'm far too meticulous- just one panel takes hours of attention, and half-arsed comics really drive me up the wall, even if it was all I can do in the short time period. Maybe could try again using this nifty Flash someone was nice enough to share with me. Thank yoooooouuu~<3

Well, my circumstances can't be helped- this computer isn't as great performance-wise compared to my laptop. Which is now officially dead. After waiting unnecessarily for weeks, and dealing with my uncle's veiled threats to sue for the lousy work (Man, was he pissed because they kept putting off fixing it everytime I called to check. And he's NEVER pissed. Which made it even scarier. o_o; ), they finally came out and told me that the thing was irreparable unless I paid for a new motherboard. Which is annoying because the day I was supposed to get it back, it was working okay, and then it got busted again for who knows what. They said they could repair it for three hundred bucks. Everyone else was like, “Screw it. Just buy a new one.” Which I did. After waiting for a week for my new debit card. Figures the time I change it was a day right before I knew about this.

Don't buy stuff online. Do research on the site first and make sure its really trustworthy. Lesson I should've learned before agreeing to shady deals. <.<
