holidays

Merry Christmas to you all!

I've had I guess an ok holiday...my mom has decided to not get us presents this year, but whatever, I know it's not about the presents lolz. But Christmas kinda snuck up on me....today is Christmas day, but...it doesn't feel like it...just feels like another normal old day...maybe with age the special feeling of it all just kinda goes away....i dunno...lol

Setting Up

Yesterday I got a call to go help set up an arcade/anime shop opening up in my poor pathetic town. My town needs something like this! lol.
but ya, I'm going everyday this week to help set up, & once paint comes in, paint logos and other stuff on the windows. :3
Today we are gonna be setting up all the gaming computers! Let me tell you they got ALOT in. When I saw how many there were I was like.."whoa...O__O"
It's gonna be nice!
Plus the owner is going to let me sell my art there! I'm excited...I'll also get to cosplay while working XD

I'm just too excited about this, since our old arcade closed down there has been absolutely nothing here. DX
So this is a big deal here, I just hope it'll do well. I'm sure it will, I've told many & they are all ecstatic XD

above is one of the mascots I created for the shop. her name is Ran :3

Other news, my 18th Birthday is a WEEK from today, omg...I'm getting old. lololol...j/k, j/k...

OH MAH GAWD D8

I caught a freakin tough virus DDD8

it took us like ALL of yesterday to get rid of(actually even some of this morning too)...it kept hiding itself everywhere, so when we thought it was gone....it would comeback. T___T I think it's gone for good now...but I can't be for sure *crossesfingers*

It was one that disguised its self as an anti-virus program..."Windows Anti-Virus XP 2008" to be exact...I thought something was up when I first saw it pop up...cause one does tend to know what programs one has or doesn't.

And of course being the procrastinator I am, I had yet to back up ANY of my art....so once it looked virus free I quickly just backed up all my art & files I wouldn't want to loose. so I finally did it...>____>''

I think I might have gotten it from Facebook, cause one of my friends accounts got hacked & sent links to all their contacts....of course being an idiot, even tho I knew it was probably something that I should NOT press on I still did...
but I think thats where it may have come from....but I've been told I could have gotten it from a number of other things...so *shrugs* whatever...all I care is that it is OFF my computer.

I think I'll read up more on viruses and stuff that can kill computers...because I honestly know NOTHING about any of it.....I never really had to...since I've never gotten a serious one like this before....but ya...gonna do some research so hopefully I can prevent it from happening again DX
So if you guys have anything then please share >3<

*sighs* man....stressful night last night....X__X

I'm gonna visit my other sites really quick...just in case the virus isn't gone....>___<
