So that just happened

[cleolinda]

Aaaaand our fridge just exploded in a cascade of half-melted ice. I don't know what happened. I opened the freezer door to get the ice cream and a waterfall fell out, that's all I know.

I have to say, I really admire 2008's dedication to sucking, all the way up to the very last second.


ETA:



There. I feel better now.

That's really horrible. I offer hugs. *hugs*

Well, it wouldn't be so bad if 1) our fridge had not been a stone bitch all year long and 2) it weren't the final straw, basically.

I offer emotional aid.

I... that is... buh? I mean, it's total genius, and I just spent several seconds laughing my ass off, but... buh?

WHY, GOD. WHY DO YOU PERSIST IN TORTURING CLEO?

Damn.

As a new years eve birthday-person: I wish you four days, one hour and forty minutes of malevolent 2008, devoid of appliances out for your blood. My apologies for the belated gesture.

Justin feels your pain.

I, for one, know I will be eating a couple of bowls of black eyed peas on New Years, just to be on the safe side. I can't afford to take any chances.

That's an awful lot of Fergie.

Oh fuck, hon. I hope 2009 is completely and utterly free of crap like this. *hugs*

You know, I just keep telling myself that all I've had to put up with is stupid shit. No tragedies, no natural disasters, no crimes or real traumas or no horrible losses, and not even any deaths until yesterday. I keep telling myself this over and over and over. And over.

I bet you could use another drink. Waiter, one round of booze and joy for Cleolinda and all her friends!

[akathorne.livejournal.com]

Was your house built on an ancient indian burial ground, by any chance? Or, more seriously, have you guys had the electric systems checked out? Because you've lost a lot of appliances recently, and unless they were all really old, there's got to be a reason behind it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, as bittersweet (I think it was bittersweet?) pointed out a while back--if all the appliances were put in years ago at the same time, that may be why they're all dying together. Although, yeah, I think we should have that checked anyway.

I agree with this year sucking.

I hate that just about every journal entry I've written has been of me having a melt down over deaths, illnesses, deployments, and lack of money. I really hope 2009 is better but my brain just doesn't seem capable of being that positive.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

We get fresh Potter wank in 2009, once the movie comes out... and ongoing Twilight wank.

Hold on to that. It will see you through.

[ook.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking that 2008 has to be the biggest year of suck in my memory. Seriously!

Here's to a hopefully MUCH better 2009! :D

[soulforophelia.livejournal.com]

oh oh and PS: I love the lolcats.

It did make me feel a bit better, I hope it did the same job for yourself!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I think Invisible Movie Explosion may be my favorite lolcat ever. I'm not even sure why, just that I can sit there for like five minutes at a time giggling at it.

[redcoast.livejournal.com]

Hee, funny somehow.

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

*pets*

[gryphonmage.livejournal.com]

Wait wait. Isn't the fridge under warranty? Didn't you guys already go through this? This sucks! I'm sorry.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Third time's supposed to be the charm, or at least get us a new fridge. I look forward to that turning into a clusterfuck as well.

[jasminelily.livejournal.com]

Ah, I just dealt with 3+ weeks of having no fridge (and three fridge repairmen, one of whom told me that there was nothing wrong with it, and I said "The food in it spoils, what do you mean there is nothing wrong with it???") before I finally got a new one, so I understand your pain. Here's wishing you a new one (or at least, a working one) very soon.

[anthraxpretzels.livejournal.com]

This is all happening, like, in sync. Today I found out I lost the edits to an essay due New Year's day. School doesn't open til' the 5th. DX

2008 does, indeed, hate us.

[evilbearhunter.livejournal.com]

Gaaaaah. I'm sorry. I wish you a speedy free new fridge.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

What the actual fuck?

[chulacabra.livejournal.com]

Goddamn you, 2008. Goddamn you to hell.

[thisiamdenied.livejournal.com]

phantomess05 got me the LOLcats book for Christmas. I get LOLcats even when I'm away from the internets! :D And your picture reminded me of this.

I'm very sorry to hear about your fridge. :( Maybe it can be duct taped?

[7tree-hugger.livejournal.com]

Slips in for a "me too!"
(I also got that actual book for christmas - much loling ensued).

2008 will have much to explain when it's finally over and done with and gone to the great heaven of years in the sky. 1966 is so gonna be asking some questions.

[kellyrfineman.livejournal.com]

Well, crap.

[newroticgirl.livejournal.com]

I have to say, I really admire 2008's dedication to sucking, all the way up to the very last second.

Yeah, it's working really hard at it, too.

Reminds me of the New Year's Eve Suck of 2006 (http://newroticgirl.livejournal.com/130300.html) a little bit. That was also not a good year, but 2008 has been worse I think.

[wumbawoman.livejournal.com]

But at least it didn't get Morgan Freeman. Hopefully everything is done adjusting itself and we are all realigned correctly and 2009 will be a better year for all of us. =)

On a separate note, did you hear about this?

I thought it was kind of neat.

[angulique.livejournal.com]

2008 has seriously been terrible for EVERYONE I know!

We all just gotta make it through the rest of this week!!!

I totally know how you feel. This year has been pure hell for the most part for my family. Can't wait to see the end of it.
