Ugh.

Lately, I've had problems uploading art to DA ( DeviantArt for those who don't know, and for those who do. . . I'm only staying because I can't leave my friends behind. ). Whenever I try to submit a file in .png format ( I don't need a preview ) and try to submit it, I get an error message reading "You must choose a preview image."
Whenever the preview image is in .JPG, .PNG, or .GIF format, it won't submit, and I get an error message that says "The preview image must be in .JPG, .PNG, or .GIF format."

This is making me extremely irate. -_- Any suggestions would be welcome.

( also, most of you wouldn't have heard of this song. . . I'm listening to Destined Marionette ( beatMARIO ) right now. Does not fit my mood, but I couldn't care less. XD )

Whee... if all goes well, heading to the arcade in two days. I hope the DDR machine still works over there... and that I have enough money to support myself for a while. DDR is poisonously addicting. Too bad I don't have the pad for Stepmania ( yes, there's a pad you can hook up to the PC and play Stepmania with it. It's the Ignition 3.0 pad... and it's about $100. Not bad, but where am I getting that much?! )

Today, my mom's undergoing surgery... I'm a little nervous, even with the doctor's perfect record. I hope she'll be okay... any support any of you give would be quite helpful!

Looks like I won't be able to update my Xanga site much... the internet's not working that much, any more. On a rare occasion, it does... but I have to keep the window open, or else an error message will pop up, and I can't get rid of it, so I have to restart the computer. Maybe if I remember to use the other computer's internet... but it may not work as well as the one I'm using. This one uses Windows XP, the other one uses Windows 98... and I can only use YIM on the other computer. Plus, there's a whole bunch more stuff on this computer, so... I'll have to either use just the comp I'm using now or switch between the two.

Gosh, tonight was rough -- at least I made it through, though. My cousin was trying to get wax out of a jar with a knife ( she makes candles ), and the jar broke. The knife went down into her hand at least a half inch deep, and she started bleeding profusely. I was minding my own business, while all of a sudden, I hear that she needs to go to the hospital. I was shaken in fear, and unable to do anything but run to the van. When all of us got to the van, we found out that my mom left her keys inside somewhere, and she accidentally locked us out. So, we couldn't use the van... and we were screwed for a second. Then, my mom had me run over to our neighbor's house, and he gave us a ride over to the hospital. I freaked out all the way over there ( and then some ), and I felt as if it were living hell. Turns out, though, that my cousin's wound wasn't fatal ( *sigh of relief* ), and we were able to get out of the hospital in a couple of hours. A few hours later, we went home, and by chance of a miracle, my mom found her way into the house. It was hard, but whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger! :D
