Neighbours, comments, rain and bursary

so I just got up and hadn't planned on posting this early but since I fired miranda up as I finally made contact on yahoo with the wonderful eloquentsilence I thought I may as well get on jabber (which I found out was its true name - yeah for reviewing spelling), and talk to Frank. wow, what a long sentence again! I know how to write, really! and I love it. I need to get on to my Bursary application today due Monday. haven't done a thing yet except have that adaptive assessment in which I had made plans to upgrade my braillenote to M-power. I decided I had heard too many negative comments about the pacmate, and though it still sounds extremely appealing, I had decided, well if I want a windows environment, I have my puter and I only need something to take notes on in class. plus FS don't have that stupid cruel open plan project outside U.S and Canada, so stuff that! .. anyway I really need to exchange my current braillenote so I need to win said bursary this time! I also am thinking I'd like to try and also purchase a GPS through the option of a maestro or even to go with my m-power but, whether I'll have to save for that myself, I am yet to determine.
OK, there's been a lot of comments on the neighbours communities lately about "bad actors" coming on to the set. I am obviously only going by audio so am not sure about the visuals, but I think they've all been OK. maybe some are better than others. but I am more disappointed about all my characters I have grown to love are leaving the show soon! there's a whole lot of the old familiar ones leaving and I don't want that to happen. I think some bring the show to life more than others. Obviously they're only actors persuing their interests at the end of the day but it becomes a lot more than that to me. They're like my family Lol
OK, a few days ago eloquentsilence was talking about comments and it made me think what I'd been indeed pondering a lot myself lately.
I've never had my journal for others, just myself but I've definitely benefitted from others reading about my life. and comments were never necessary but just a bonus that was there if people wanted them. I never use to comment a lot on friends journals even though I read everything. Now I comment a little more on people's LJ than I use too. about half of these people acknowlege the comments by replying back. Though I never use to mind as much if they do so, I do mind more now. It let's me know they know I do care. I've noticed more and more lately that more of my LJ friends won't reply to my comments. OK I certainly understand sometimes if they don't but I'm starting to wonder why I bother if I don't get a reply. I am left wondering, did they get my comment? is what I had to say meaning anything to them? am I even wrong for commenting on their journal? I guess more and more I view the commenting feature is like a conversation and I get to thinking if I don't get replies to comments why should i bother? And, too, there a few people who I only really interact with on LJ for the most part. fortunately not many now but still a few who's journals I love to read and I know they like to read mine equally. so, yeh!
OK it is meant to be showers today and there was a bit this morning, but there needs to be more! Bring on the rain! I woke to Neil talking to John Waiths (excuse spelling) about the scarey lack of water in Ballarat and Bendigo. and, I've always had the qquestion on my lips lately and he asked it, what would we do if a town totally ran out of water? It's a scarey thought! .. As I illuded to in here yesterday, surely nature would fix the problem before it got to that. I mean, it would just have to come to our rescue, right? .. well I don't know for sure, honestly but I'd hope so.
OK so now I think I will go and look at the application. oh and probably will go eat breakfast at some point.
thanks Frank! Lol

P.S. I keep making new lines by the HTML but I could indeed be pressing control enter in Miranda. *grrr
P.P.S I just got this upon trying to send. 10:29:05 AM: Error talking to goat. He must've fallen asleep. Say it again?
10:36:21 AM: Error talking to goat. He must've fallen asleep. Say it again?
P.P.P.S it said that again so had to paste it to web page. I thought I'd lost that big long post. wouldn't have been happy Lol

gismo :(

so I just downloaded that stupid gismo project for LJ and it's just absolutely hopeless to use with jaws. When I finally worked out how to call, unlike with text, frank doesn't seem to take calls, at least it says "this person does not have their gismo set up" I'm like "duh it's the LJ mascot". so I got my paid account but am still having the same problem. then read on the FAQ it was LJpost that we were meant to call which I eventually worked out how to find, but it's still giving that message when I call, that the user hasn't set it up yet, how crap! damn thing! And, it's already crashed twice, and then sometimes I can't even exit out of it. how stupid! So I now have a paid account but still can't make a voice post, great!
I mean I know I was going to get one anyway on my LJ's birthday that never happened but still Lol I wanted to try this out but obviously it's not working. ah well, there goes that idea. looks like I'll just have to uninstall it cos I can't even figure out how to navigate into the options to prevent it from starting up when the puter starts, *grrrr! I sooo wish we could use skype to voice post! how cool that would be!
til next time, RdFreak
:edit:: P.S. Yes, I did figure out how to get into options and change it so it doesn't startup with windows so will just leave it on here for now I guess.
