End of the year, beginning of the new.
Hello all! I hope you had a rockin' New Years. I hung out with sayyida_jaida but she got sick last night (the flu? food poisoning? We're not sure, she's still sleeping it off) so I've been amusing myself online. My computer suddenly decided it did NOT like WoW so I can't even play. Last night it was fine, tonight it freezes so I can't even get to the log in screen and my laptop starts making horrid scratching, screeching and high pitched beeping noises. Sayy's husband's a techie so he thinks the harddrive's going. Yay. It's just over a year old and it's already pulling this bullshit. Note to self: never buy another Toshiba again. So I'm taking it in to Best Buy Sunday to have it checked out.
Which means no WoW for a couple of weeks if they decide it is the harddrive and it needs to be replaced. Yay for warranty! Boo for no WoW. Ah well, I'll borrow my mom's laptop to get my net fix. She just doesn't know that part yet. :P
One of my best friends is 28 today. This makes me a Sad Panda because I'm next!! Two years! Two effing years until I'm 30 and I don't care that they say that 30 is the new 20. It isn't! It's fucking 30 and I've done exactly JACK SHIT with my life. *headdesk*
Christmas was pretty good. Got some good clothes, some cute jewelry (of which I bought more on Etsy, bad me!), and a great DVD Black Sheep. It's an inside joke between me and Sayy but it's pretty funny actually and not that badly acted. Oddly enough there is not a single black sheep in the entire movie. :P
