Childrens!

Bored on a Friday night, as usual.

A bunch of volunteers, myself included, had a big Christmas party for a couple of kindergarten classes. We had decorations and a Santa and everything. I sat and talked to a few, and they were very cool about it all.

Me: What do you want for Christmas?
Kid with a 'fro: Spider-man! *points to Spidey-shoes*
Me: Ooh, cool. I love Spider-man.
Kid: No, you don't. Girls don't like Spider-man.
Me: Well, I do. I like Spider-man and Batman and Daredevil--
Kid: Girls don't like comic books.
Me: *turns to girl next to us* So what are you wanting for Christmas?
Girl: Supergirl!

And I was later asked if I was a boy or a girl. O_o

Then we gave them all their presents and everyone ran around with their balls and cars and lite-bries and robots. It was really neat.

Damnit!

I woke up this morning (at three pm, no less, which is extremely late for me) and for some reason my laptop keeps shutting down after I turn it on. It might have fallen during the night or something, but I'll turn it on and it'll last anywhere from seven minutes to 30 seconds before it turns itself right back off again. I don't think it even matters what I'm doing at the time.

Granted, I did have time to save my fiction piece and my Psych assignment to my flash drive on one occasion before it shut down again, but it's still pissing me off. I wants my internets without having to keep going down to the computer lab.
