Unexpected Drabbles

Eep, the no-time for writing thing is killing me. The inspiration for Spike's drabble came from a line in the Fullmetal Alchemist Manga
( Spike-No rain )

( Holtz - Fearful Weather )

Various Rants

A) Dear Dell...okay so you DIDN"T lose my story last night. During 'save' somehow you rearranged parts of the chapter throughout the rest of teh document. How in the HELL did you manage that? You still suck only in a new way

B) Dear Student Loans - yes you did just call me last week and say you were going to do XYZ for me and didn't do it. But at least you did it today and thank you dear Default Prevention lady in saying you had NO idea why my repayments are so high. This loan is only 10K MORE than my Salliemae one. Salliemae wants under 300$/month YOU want 1800. What's wrong with this picture?

C) Dear Characters, knock it off or there'll be a mass murder in my brain and I'll let you bleed out my ears never to be heard from again. I can NOT afford to buy Prozac by the bushel for my betas and I'm allergic to most anti-depressants so cheer the fuck up before you kill me 2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a songIf I get it all down on paper, its no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to Just because Anna Nalick made a top 10 song out of this does NOT mean I want to live it so stop it or I swear someone dies

D) Dear Buckeye Electric when you tell a customer you'll be here at 9AM DO NOT show up at 8 AM. I'm in my PJ's and you're not welcome inside the house. ANd look you don't even have the right equipment to do the test and hey I'm not going to be here this week anyhow so just as well. Finally you're admitting that you have NO idea why I'd use 1000 KWH when I wasn't here for a month especially when normally monthly usage is only 300KWH and even that your man can't fathom since I live alone and have the heat turned down half the day.

Happy Endings!

I can't believe I got this done in spite of time crunches and the computer going insane and eating part of the story.
