    • My laptop was my mom's for a long time before she bought an iPad and gave it to me, and it's basically a fossil at this point. Tons of crap on the hard drive, I'm sure it has a few viruses as well, albeit minor ones as I can still use it haha. Am really in need of a new one D:

    You might want to try saving all your data on an external and wiping it first. Even if you end up getting a new one in the end that can make an old computer seem like new.

    • MSN sucks. Live sucks, Skype sucks. Everything sucks.

    I probably will, but I've been looking at a few models that I really like and will probably purchase anyway d: Though I guess I'll see how it runs and if it's sufficient, I'll postpone upgrading for sure.

    That was such a blast… heh. Eastern Colorado was no-man's land, Kansas was long and boring, Missouri was weird, Illinois was longer than expected, Indiana was shorter than expected, Kentucky was Scooby-Doo creepy (being the only humans around on the interstate surrounded by Appalachian fog), West Virginia was a nostalgia trip (Huntington, Charleston, and Princeton), Virginia and NC were short, and… yep. Now we live 20 minutes from any civilization southwest of Rock Hill with my savvy uncle.

    He gave me 5 laptops and a desktop tower, me being excited since this computer is garbage. Two were fried (the two good ones), the MacBook's screen was busted, and the only working one was Pentium III ancient, with a fax card and parallel port legit. Haven't tried the desktop yet~


    Since I disappeared without notice as far as PC was concerned (I left notice on the Minecraft server I was on but only remembered too late for here), I was honestly expecting a lot more when I got back. o_O There were no promotions, no put-downs (or anything popcorn-worthy like that) got one VM (a chain mail thing), no PMs, and a quote from like two hours after I left. I am disappoint.

    Really though, it's all good to be anchored somewhere, finally. One of Deano's ♥♥♥♥♥es (both pitbulls) acted really strange when first meeting me, the one being Athena (Octavia always looks at me weird). Athena won't let anyone near me and loves interacting with me, and blew Dean's and Karen's mind when she did – she's really dominative and aggressive to most everyone and only has a largely neutral relationship with Deano anyway (probably either how I stand and walk or how I smelt - I hadn't showered in three days). Want to know the most interesting thing I learnt coming out here? People in the west's service industry are inhospitable dicks. The standard of service in CO was piss poor compared to how I was interacted with as far west as Missouri - people talked and acted like they didn't have a reason to commit suicide, and it was a breath of fresh air… to see people of modest means being nice to strangers simply because of their culture. Love these parts for that.

    Oh, and the age of consent here is 16. Makes me wish I was just a little bit closer to civilization :V

    Urghh this morning my half-asleep brain convinced myself that I was doing something terribly wrong by leaving on the crockpot overnight and then I stressed myself out to the point of puking and now I'm exhausted and have to work.

    • I remember a day back earlier this year when I left my radio running all day when leaving for school and getting home. Oops. At least the radio doesn't draw much power though.

    It's a slow cooker. I'm surprised; I'd think leaving something in there for that long would result in something decently edible. Providing something was in it, of course.

    It's meant to be on that long. I ended up having to call out because it was worse than just that one puke. Urgh. I slept like 5 hours more after I called out though and felt much better.

    • I can say I've never stressed out the point of puking, but I've stressed out so much that I've had migraines and slight fever.

    • I'm certain somewhere in the recesses of my memory and the incarnations of GC that I've mentioned this before, but when I lived in Colorado our roommate Melodie left a pot of water boiling on the stove while taking the dogs for a walk, and when I came home I saw it on the stove slowly fuming smoke like some sort of Aztec ritual device to summon Quetzalcoatl or something. Very surreal to look at o.o

    Két ZAL Kō-ɘl-tl is how I say it. It's a serpent god from Aztec mythology prophecized to return by different magicians around the end times before Hernan Cortes destroyed them.

    Wow, that is freaking cool. Never really looked into Aztec mythology, but from what I've heard it's quite interesting. But- that name, it looks hard to pronounce but if you look at it closely it's actually quite easy xD

    I learned a lot of history by playing the campaigns of Age of Empires II: Age of Kings, haha. Quetzalcoatl being one of the things I learned about there.
