procrasturbating: put it on your resume!
Have you guys ever had a virus that refuses to let a laptop shut down? How about one that, when you click on a Google search result, takes you to an ad instead of the site? This just happens in Google, though. You end up having to copy the search result URL and pasting it into the address bar. The search results from other search engines click fine. So anyway, neither your malware scanner nor your regular virus scan can detect this virus, and you suspiciously can't install Windows Defender. And sometimes tabs would just open randomly with more ads.
Bring out your dancing shoes, IT department, you've got a date with my pig's feces of a laptop. DON'T STEP IN ANY, NOW.
The 3-sentence ficathon now has a delicious directory! And it's still going on and on and on! Narnia appears to be the most popular fandom by far, followed by... crossover, and then by STXI and Dr. Who. COME PLAY. Add more fandoms!
My 3-sentence fics in the following fandoms:
Sailor Moon, Rei/Minako, Yves Saint Laurent
Minako actually has the Britney Spears and J. Lo perfumes and Rei taunts her endlessly about it. "They smell nice," Minako protests, but of course Rei just rolls her eyes. She prefers Parisienne from YSL, and Minako can smell it every time she leans in to kiss her.
Peter Pan/Star Trek, wee!Spock as Peter and wee!Kirk as Wendy, "Boy, why are you crying?" and then I misread who was who and wrote this instead
"I've lost my shadow," the boy sobs.
"...That is highly illogical," Spock decides.
"There it is!" the boy suddenly yells, and illogically rises into the air and flies after it, only to logically crash into the wall.
Ocean's Eleven, Linus Caldwell, competence
"Wow, guys, a simple thank you would would have sufficed," says Linus.
Rusty and Danny exchange looks and Linus kind of hates it when they do that, like they're communicating private jokes and they're all about him, and Danny says, "Well, the spiel to the warden about the inhumane treatment of prisoners was probably overkill," and Rusty nods in agreement, of course.
Linus throws his coat and his fake badge in the backseat and replies, "Fine, that's the last time I get you out of jail."
Skins, Tony and Effy, kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
After that whole business with Cook, Effy takes the train to Cardiff and her parents don't even try that hard to stop her. Tony lets her sleep on the ratty sofa that he's dragged into the dormitory, but when she climbs into his bed in the morning, he doesn't protest. He wraps his arm around her and pulls her close.
Geometry, 3D/2D, "You're growing up, dear"
And 3D smiles sadly, saying, "No, I'm not, you're just seeing one side of me again."
"When you leave me," 2D says in a shaky voice, "and go to those places that I can't go, will you think of me?"
And 3D leans in close and whispers, "Baby, you'll always be a part of me."
And now for everyone's favorite game: 2 links and a YouTube embed!
1) Awesome or terrifying? Would you sleep in it?
2) There is a Merlin AU crackfic in here somewhere.
3) Live-action country village rendition of the opening credits of The Simpsons, by Estonia's TV3.
Burgeoning paranoia #439898: I have too many names! It's getting all mixed up! More than once now I have almost sent emails to my thesis advisor with, like, "love, [high school nickname]", or to a potential employer with "cheers, Lassiter", or to my professor with "love you, [boyfriend's pet name for me]". What is this, the revenge of my compartmentalized personae? One day this is going to happen, and it's going to be terrible and hilarious. D:
ETA: HOLY SHIT BACON JAM. ...wtf bacon lampshade?
ETA2: WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THESE BEST BUY POPUPS, LJ??? >:-(

Re: <---IT department
IT! Cool beans, so that is what you are up to. How is that treating you? I have downloaded Malwarebytes and have installed it without any problem. I checked out my processes but I'm having difficulty telling what seems suspicious or not, so what I'm going to do is run a Malwarebytes scan tonight and I'll let you know if it works.
Thanks! :D
Re: <---IT department
It shouldn't be a big deal that you ran the update before the first scan. The times that's given me trouble, the virus prevented the update, and then the install was corrupted so I had the reinstall it. Not the biggest deal, just annoying.
Hope your compy's feeling better soon!
Re: <---IT department
Heee, me too. I've run Malwarebytes twice and it found one trojan thingum, which is now removed. My google search results are still leading to ads though and my laptop still refuses to shut down, so if the searching for suspicious processes don't work, it's off to the IT dept for me!
