My phone is...not quite dead. It is, the internet leads me to believe, stuck in a booting loop. I've tried hard resetting, and that doesn't work. I tried leaving the battery, memory card, and SIM card out for an extended period of time - that didn't work either. The only option for fixing it looks scary and waaaaaaaaaay beyond me, so I guess it's a trip to the T-Mobile shop in Burnley to plead with them to help me.
Trust this to happen when I've sent the N96 away to generate extra cash.
I bought a Samsung because I remembered my last one being stable and reliable (and the N96 drove me bugnuts with its constant crashing. My bro told me about six months after getting the Samsung that I could've fixed the Nokia by flashing it. THANKS BRO). What I didn't remember until today is that I had some problem with that, and had to get it sent away to be fixed.
ARGLE BLARGLE.
I can't go on Monday, since I'm expecting a delivery then, so it will have to be Tuesday. So until then, I will not have a phone. So no texts, no constant twittering, no alerts when I get an email (the most frustrating, as I rely on that for a lot of things).
I half want them to say "Here is a bright and shiny new phone for you to use for the next six months of your contract!"
But they won't.
(I don't have a replacement at home *whines*)
I ended up being so angry (because ARGH NO PHONE) I couldn't even make myself play FFXIII (I KNOW!) so I downloaded the Bejewled 2 demo (going to spring for the full game. Eventually. I've got enough points) and played that for a while. The music is calming and terribly eighties, and I loved it (I love Match 3 games as a rule anyway. You don't know how happy I was that my Xbox came with Hexic HD preloaded. And the music is always vaguely eighties. LOVE IT. The Bejewled music is really Vangelis-esque).
(I did eventually play some FFXIII, and am currently using Vanille in my active team, and every time she's a medic, and she heals someone and says, "It's going to be OK!", I audibly squee. Goddamnit, I love Vanille. Hell, I love everybody in this game).
It's funny. All this time I've said there's no point in me having a mobile phone because I hardly use it. This one goes tits up, and I am bereft. I do not understand.

I want to spend forever reading RPG books. Partly because I've got two VtM sourcebooks I said I'd read so I can flail with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dingsi about stuff (and it's totally unfair because he's looked at Innocents, so he knows some of what I'm flailing about at the moment). And partly because lassarina's posts about RPing have been pinging my brain a lot (uh, I went trawling through her tags after that meta the other day. Heh).
And I want to do something Changeling related. SOMEthing. I don't know what.
So many ideas, so little time. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

Something on tumblr just reminded me of this, and that's that: I love it when people draw fanart of characters in their own style, rather than trying to mimic the style of the original work.
I wish I could do that (I try too hard to mimic, believe it or not, because I'm afraid if I draw it in my style, it won't look like the character that it's meant to. Ridiculous, I know).
~*~
Time to go and plan more ridiculous fanart ideas that I will never ever do. \o/
