Oh, will this page never ever load?
I do think my head’s about to explode.
A-U, dear A-U, won’t you load for me
Before my Firefox doth woefully freeze?

My eyes bug out at the green status bar.
If time were money I’d go buy a car.
The toolbar says “done,” but my page is still blank.
I can’t keep staring, or I’d surely faint.

A-U! A-U! My love unrequited!
I can’t find a rhyme that sounds quite righted!
My ears are all droopy, and my heart is all blue.
If I had a shoe, I’d throw it at you.

That’s it, I surrender—no more shall I wait.
Perhaps pleading with forums shall be forever my fate.
I pull at my hair; I tear at my flesh.
Woe is me as I reach for that good old “refresh.”



...says a lot, doesn't it?

First off, it's pretty freaking awesome that you wrote a poem about a page loading.

Second thing, it's a great poem.

Thirdly, you just captured my emotions perfectly. :yes:

Hahaha. Thanks, guys :P

Seriously, though. Is it just my computer or has A-U been in a coma this past week?

:roll: Oh. My. Goodness. You captured my thoughts perfectly! AU has been a bum lately. And no, it's definitely not just you. Sometimes I have to try three times to get a page to load, and once it's loaded, I can't get back to the main page. :disgust:

No, it's not just your computer. AU has been in a coma... for over a week. More like a month. :lol:

I litterally rolled out of my computer chair laughing at this! It's just so epic! And it does that to me too. But it's only when trying to access the main page and when posting now and them.

And poor, poor AU... *pets site* getting beat up... but I guess thats what you get for not co-operating!
