Days off sure are nice.
Busy, busy, busy. I like being busy, but a girl's gotta have some R&R time. Thank goodness today and tomorrow it's fall break, and I'm off work today.
I recently replaced my laptop hard drive. I'm proud of myself, because I did it all on my own, spending a total of $60-something for the HD itself (this girl at work said her husband could replace it for $350-wtfever!). Retardedly, I was not supplied with recovery discs when I purchased my laptop, and the 'create recovery disc' option on my computer didn't seem to work. Fortunately, Chris had his recovery discs for his laptop, so I used the Windows XP one and, thank goodness, it worked. Because the disc was not supplied by Toshiba, I had to go to their website and download all the drivers, but that really wasn't too bad. I also was able to get my Office and Photoshop working again, which I was worried about for various reasons. The only really annoying thing I've come across (so far) is not being able to get the Japanese IME to work. Whenever I'd try to install East Asian fonts, it would prompt me to put in the Windows cd, which I don't have. And apparently you HAVE to have it in order to install them, because Microsoft doesn't provide a download for them online. So, I did a Google search and discovered a few torrents, and proceeded to download my first torrent ever (because for some reason, I couldn't get them to work on my old HD). And it worked! Hurrah! I'm proud of myself for being somewhat computer-savvy.
I'm also very happy to have a "new" computer. It's so much quicker and hasn't pissed me off yet for being retarded. Uploading my old files and downloading new programs is sort of annoying, but it's nice to have a fresh start and not have tons of useless programs bogging down my computer. Now I just need to find an antivirus software, since I apparently have misplaced the disc of whatever it was I had before.

02) What was your dream growing up?
To be an artist, I think.
03) What talent do you wish you had?
To be more artsy and crafty. I like making things.

Probably a Woodchuck.

Oh man. Um. I think it was Haunted, by Chuck Palahniuk, this past summer.
07) What zodiac sign are you?
Aries. Beware my hellacious temper!
08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
I’m boring: two lobe piercing and a nostril piercing. I did have a helix (cartilage) piercing at one time, but it got infected. I’m planning on getting a small tattoo at some point, possibly of a maneki neko (lucky cat).
09) Worst Habit?
Picking at things (scabs, zits, my nose…); and stressing out over trivial things.
10) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride?
Well yeah, because I know who you are.
11) What is your favorite sport?
Ultimate Frisbee, even though I don’t play anymore.
12) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?
Optimistically pessimistic. I’m very cynical but have the mindset that things could always get better.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Probably be awkward and make an ass of myself, because that’s what I do best.
14) Worst thing to ever happen to you?
Probably that breakup two years ago. In retrospect, I feel silly about it, but at the time, it was horrible.
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
Weird? Hm… I consider myself left-handed, but am sort of ambidextrous-I write and eat with my left hand, but do everything else (use a mouse, throw/catch, use scissors) with my right hand.
16) Do you have any pets?
Yes! My two awesome adorable kitties, Juniper and Kudzu.
17) What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?
I’d be really surprised, but not annoyed. We have a lot in common and we’d probably have a great bitch & moan fest. Haha.
18) What was your first impression of me?
Really good writer.
19) Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
Oh god. They’re horrible.
20) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
Probably my weight. Which is changeable, but I’m lazy/don’t have time to exercise.
21) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?
Probably your conscience. I’m a worrywart.
22) What color eyes do you have?
Blue.
23) Ever been arrested?
No, but I’ve had a warrant out for my arrest. Haha.
24) Bottle or can soda?
I prefer bottles, but buy cans so I can recycle them and get moneys back.
25) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
Buy a scooter, go on a trip, and save the rest.
27) What's your favorite place to hang out at?
Right now, probably at home. I’m always at school or work, so it’s nice to be at home and relax. Although, I really like $2 draft days at Sunspot with my lx friends…
28) Do you believe in ghosts?
Eh, not really.
29) Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Play with my kitties.
30) Do you swear a lot?
Hell fuckin’ yeah.
31) Biggest pet peeve?
Fake people, who act in a certain way just to impress others.
32) In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Paradoxical.
33) Do you believe/appreciate romance?
I’m a hopeless romantic, but I’m also pretty jaded and have never really experienced love (obsession, yeah, but not love).
34) Favourite and least favourite food?
I like way too much to have a favorite. Least favorite would probably be red meat.
35) Do you believe in God?
No, but neither do I disbelieve. I just don’t particularly care.
36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?
Yes’m.
