...become so behind in livejournal's expansion that... i uh can't post an image correctly... what is all that html text nonsense? i am computer stoopid. but that's kind of cool anD alright. i'm comforted in the fact that i can't speak the most current form of computer language. i don't understand computers and thats ok. i can hammer nails and assemble ikea shelves. wha wha i can also make a perfect 3 minute egg and i know the trick to keep herbs fresh (take them out of their plastic packaging and set their stems in a cup of water in the fridge...it'll extend their life by a few days. keep the plastic covering on the top if you want to avoid weird refrigerator smell/taste). LJ has changed a lot since the last time i was on... my dad always says KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) but that's mostly regarding downloading shit so i dont break my computer... however if i had a MAC,... THAT WOULD NOT BE A CONCERN DAD IF YOU WERE READING THIS YOU WOULD TAKE PITY ON MY PC SHACKLES... PLEASE PLEASE GET ME A MAC [THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN] ).
ANYWAY i hate this computer i sort of feel like it's always against me... prompting me to update shit, download things, etc etc and i don't know what the fuck it's talking about. every time i've followed through with prompted "update" downloads it's fucked up my computer. it does what it wants. hibernates means go off and then come back to a blank wallpaper only icon-less cursor-frozen screen so obviously...sleep doesnt work. leaving it to go to sleep itself only does the same thing. it puts files where it wants to, it hides things, renames them, erases them, whateverrrrrr... i hate this thing!!!!! it is definitely not people friendly. it is cold and mean and i walk on eggshells around it. even my "accessories" were deleted: calculator and paint. how do those just delete themselves?? i beg of you, tell me. and this thing didn't come with MS word?? i had to have it illegally installed. i couldnt very well DL files i needed for classes on to WORD PERFECT...unless i want to read everything in weird alien symbols. i guess they left it out so i would go buy it or something. i can't work paint since its gone or manage my photos, or edit them or do anything. this is a mean, cold, business computer that hates me. and it is giving me little signals that it is on it's way out... i suppose i should start backing up everything important, although i am not too sure how to go about that. every time i start doing something some weird message pops up telling me something is wrong i want to have an office space moment where i take this thing outside and smash it to bits with a two by four. who wants to give me $1200 for a sleek mac desk top that will love me???? i barely use this shit bc i can't do crap on it. same with cameras. i am so technologically behind i might as well move in with salinger. whatever, LJ. you have become McDonalds. And i am the one idiot who doesn't know what a snackwrap is.
