Some things: 1.) I've wasted more time than I'd like on this. I'm very sorry. It's late and my judgment may not be at it's finest. b.) I've applied some custom css to this forum through my browser and changed up all the colors and style and it's weirding me out and everything seems so foreign and new. The bummer is that working with html/css tends to make me grumpy and super-critical of other websites and web developers/designers in general and I hate feeling all negative about stuff.

I love it when a plan comes together...or in my case, uni work. I've been struggling with it for the past few days (mostly because I'm *still* getting used to working in my new room - my brain has been throwing a childish tantrum and going "NOOOOO I want a big table and lots of space!"). Now I seem to have hit my stride. Fingers crossed it continues!

Headaches. That is all.
(Well, actually, that is not all. Also headache meds that make it worse before they make it better. Those are rather bothersome too.)

Aw man, headaches are HORRIBLE. Occasionally I get really bad pressure headaches (usually with pain behind one eye) - painkillers won't touch them, all I can do is curl up in bed and press really hard on my head with my hands. (Which somehow helps, I don't know why).

Health inspector run around. Can't get a solid answer on whether or not I can use a certain location for a shop due to issues with safety, but can't get an answer on if it's an issue at all. Why? Because yesterday I couldn't answer them... and today friday... they aren't in. Call Monday. REAL ESTATE DOESN"T WAIT FOR MONDAY!!!! GAH!!!!! I'm good now.

awh >: I'll have to try the head pressing thing... Mine have something to do with sinuses so I sometimes try massage or breathing steam to get my nose to clear.
At least my subwoofer neighbor wasn't woofing last night. Well, one of them was, but not the one who keeps his woofer directly below my bedroom. (He's been playing it a lot less since the time I called campus security twice and then yelled at him myself in person... I felt a little bad afterward, but at the time, I was angry and tired and couldn't sleep and his music was causing me physical pain so asking him to shut up turned into borderline yelling. But it worked, so I don't completely regret it.)

I have a bit of a problem.
It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm going to the theatre in the evening. (Hairspray! Woooo!) And during the day my grandparents are taking me and my mum out for lunch. Hairspray is in the evening but because my dad and his wife have a baby it means they can't both go. So my dad's wife, called M from now on, is going to stay home with my baby sister and my dad, me, my mum, her wife and my grandparents are going to the theatre.
Lunch was supposed to be just me, my mum and my grandparents, (dad and step-mum are working) but this morning my dad texted my mum, (not me mind you, my mum) and asked if M could come to lunch. Mum is annoyed because it's not up to her to be inviting other people. It's up to me.
Thing is, I want to say no.
I've never gotten along with M very well. Things have improved recently, especially with the addition of the wee one. But still, I don't especially want M to come.
I don't want to say no because that'll cause Problems. M has a temper and she might have an argument with my dad, as a result he might be reluctant to come to Hairspray in the evening. I don't know if it would go that far but saying no is going to cause some sort of problem. And I'll feel mean. I hate feeling mean.
But I don't really see why she should come. My dad and M do things without me all the time. They take my little sister places and never think to invite me. They've been doing this for years, since before my lil sis was born and now that I'm all grown up I'm mostly over it. But this feels like a double standard. Dad can do whatever he wants with his new family but I'm expected to invite his wife to gatherings?
To add to this they're going to Miami for three weeks at the end of the month. He hasn't actually told me about this yet. I've heard about it from my grandparents. So they can go to Miami without even telling me but I go out to lunch and M has to come?
I really want to say no. But I don't want to cause a Great Big Argument and there's no excuse I can use. If I say no it'll be purely because I don't want M there and they’ll both know that.
What's a girl to do?

Yeesh, tricky one. Only thing I can suggest is maybe explaining to your dad what you just told us? Obviously that could also lead to an argument, though.

I've never been very good with family tensions (probably because my all extended family lives about two days travel away), but I suggest asking your dad why he thinks M should come because...you weren't expecting it and thought that M would stay home to take care of your baby sister. You might change your mind. (I have no idea how you usually hang with M.)
If all else falls, make your dad promise to come with you to Hairspray no matter what. You can remind him that it's your birthday, and that you want him to be there.

Thanks for the advice, we invited her and had a really good time. We get along well these days, I was mostly just frustrated at the presumption of it all.
Dad still hasn't told me about the Miami trip, I think by this point he just assumes I know.

sounds like you did the right thing in terms of family peace, and it worked out okay for you!

I think you can make those using an offset function with GIMP?
I kind of hate having to choose where I'm going to be working/studying next year. Given the economy and all, I feel kind of guilty of being able to choose, but I still have to chose one of the both great possible experiences. :I

flip a coin- even if it comes out the answer you subconsciously didn't want, you'll know I was using offset in photoshop, it was easier than i thought!

Sounds like good advice. Well, I going to visit both schools in the next few weeks, so I'll hopefully make a better decision then. And if not, I'll try your suggestion. ; )

My graphics card fan is driving me crazy. It's way too noisy at times. Like right now. It usually settles after a while and quiets down but it's been making that racket for hours now.

Hmmm, I can't help with your problem, but I can relate a similar (??) one.
My laptop fan gets really noisy sometimes and just won't stop (pretty unusual, it only usually starts up if I run Flash, Photoshop, or Skype for a long time). If I check Windows Task Manager, I see CPU usage hovering around 40-60%, even when I'm just looking at my desktop, no programs running or anything. BUT, if I log off or shut down, a message pops up saying that there's program running and I should either cancel/force quit. The message always disappears before I can respond, and my computer gets on with logging off/shutting down.
I've done several virus scans to no avail. I also asked clemon, but she has no idea what's up either. It's a mystery. :/

@x: Tried cleaning it out? Once I opened my case and ended up using like...half a bottle of rubbing alcohol to clean out the heat sink fan. @_@ Graphics card fan was super grimy too... :x
@marg: Tried using registry mechanic?
