| update-age In case you are wondering where I am in, all four of you, I am still here just sort of wrapped up in my own little blanket of stress, one of my own making. I fucked Marmy's pooter. I don't know what I did but it went from the bad HD problems to not even posting -- no beeps, no video, no nuttin -- just spinning fans and that was about it. So I assumed I somehow fried one of the following: motherboard, CPU or power supply. I don't have the facilities to test any of the above for life so I dropped it off last night at the shop we bought all the parts. They are in the middle of a mass build so I won't see the computer back until a week or two. I feel real guilty and ticked off at myself at not only wrecking her pooter but saddling her with my own reactive stress. I really fly off the handle when I realize I fucked something royally; it carries in my body language and tone. And I cannot accomplish anything else until I fix the situation. I am also so disappointed that I wasted my birthday weekend by swearing at a computer, watching unsuccessful reinstalls pass by and searching the net for assistance. In response, for the past week or so I have been sitting on the sofa moping with a few hours here and there checking out the possibilities in World of Warcraft -- oh, and I continued my CSI watching, the obsession that started when I was ill. And I have been working -- the only time that work is an escape from my head. Being pissed off at unreasonable wealthy people is weirdly therapeutic. Wow looks like it can be fun. Unlike CoH it really stressed the RPGing capabilities of a fantasy world allowing you to even game on servers where the GMs force you to act in character. I like that though it could get a little tiring. I really really want to play with Marmy but that will have to wait. In the meantime she is exploring during the hours I am at work, and being hassled by geeks-seeking-GFs already. I am also hunting down community sites as unlike in CoH where I like playing it straight forwardly, I am interested in the nuances to this game. We shall see. In the meantime all else has fallen to the wayside. The photoblog is sorely lacking and my intended Project 365, that was to start on my birthday, died in it's cradle. The plan is to get the computer back and get my life back. I am trying to convince my psyche that life can leak in around that goal but so far, no luck. November 02 06 |

happy belated birthday!!!!!!
if it makes you feel any better, stuff like this always happen with m hehehe, whenever he's like "let's play this game together" i'm like "okay" and i go off and do my own thing for 6 hours cuz i know that's how long it'll take him to make every thing 'work' - one time it took him alll night to figure out all the drivers to get his gamepad to work so we could play MULE. it would have been easier if we went out and bought ourselves a C64 :p
boys!!!!! *exasperation*
