First things first.

jaybee65 - I have an excellent Blackfic for you to read(unless you've read it already, of course *g*):The Sun Burst Through In Unlooked for Directions by

spessartine (Regulus/Sirius, Regulus/Bellatrix). Gah! Just... gah!

Moving on.

So, after cutting and pasting a picture of boobies instead of the thing I was supposed to paste for

msgenevieve on MSN yesterday evening, I realised that maybe I should finally make some effort to get rid of the damn spyware from my computer. So far, I've used Ad-aware, which doesn't spot this particular spyware at all, and Spybot, which does spot it, but the thing comes back after restarting the computer. Any suggestions to which software I should use? I'm kind of getting tired of the 'Naked Celebrities!' and 'Babes on your desktop!' popping up every now and then.

And finally - my mystery illness has finally been diagnosed. (er yes, I've been a bit down this past month or so. it's one of the reasons why I've barely been around) It is the asthma. Which really shouldn't have been a mystery, considering that I've had it since, oh, I was six months old (or so I am told), and that it used to give me quite a bit of trouble back in the days (troubled my parents, I mean; I just lay in bed and coughed). I haven't had a trouble with it for ages now (even though I carry an inhaler with me all the time. usually), which sort of made me forgetful and complacent, so when I was coughing and wheezing and getting out of breath walking to the next room, I attributed it to the cold. No, I don't know why. How did I not recognise the symptoms? *smacks stupid self on the head*

Of course, it was my mother who finally realised what was up with me (bless her), and why I couldn't seem to get well even after a *month* and some heavy medication - I kept insisting (even to the doctor) that I had a cold, not asthma. I was not having trouble breathing, how could I have asthma? *smacks moronic self some more*

Anyway, I'm taking the asthma medicines now (which, by the way, are very annoying as they make me all dizzy and light-headed), am feeling fine, just did an impromptu dance around the room, should be even able to swim the next week (*crosses fingers*), and an generally very, very glad. *g*
