partly

I joined a couple of challenge communities, to help keep me from being to introspective (see last post for problems with that).

It's failing.

With

xoverland I did some of the puzzles, but forgot to post my results before the deadline. Then I wrote a couple of ficlet and got them posted in time -- except my computer froze on me, so it ended up posting 30 minutes past deadline. Fine. What I don't understand is how I managed to get lost in the voting polls. I know I voted for team icons, but not according to the polls. According to the polls, I only entered which team I'm with. What? How does that happen? I would ask why does this happen, but I know why. I'm made of fail.

I am so made of fail, that I don't even have to do anything. Nope. I just radiate "made of fail" vibes and it infects everything around me.

Take, for example, when I joined

caperland. It's all about Burn Notice, Leverage and White collar. What could be better? Kept an eye on the community, only it never posted anything. I figured they were holding off until the start of the new season. Nope. What happened was I got dropped of the community. They have been happily going on about challenges and I'm out of it all. When I signed up they sent me invites to the necessary communities, and I joined them. But now, I'm not a member. I'm not even watching them. What? How does does one get booted out of a community? I would ask why does this happen, but I know why. My "made of fail" vibes did it. I didn't even get a chance to miss deadlines or do things wrong, mope that got taken care of without me doing anything at all.

I've been running a low-grade fever all day (this also contributed to my previous post). I feel like hell and I can't sleep. I'm smart enough not to try to fulfill any challenges in my current state -- I'm sure my "made of fail" vibe is at an all time high. I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to post this entry without problems -- especially since I've lost it once already.

I'm really hoping that today is a better day. I think I'll start off by trying to sleep.
