long days

Jan 05, 2006 22:10

lately i can't stay up late for some reason. to be honest, right now i'm dying because i'm so sleepy. in fact, it's made me aggravated or whatever. at what you say? why, my new pc hardware of course!

it took it forever to get here. about 230pm. started installing it immediately. could've sworn i'd break something. but a few tweaks here and there and losing my firewire capabilities, my pc is operational. booted it up and had to install drivers and all this shit. it was a warzone of installs. windows was going crazy "WTF IS THIS!?!?!?! AND THIS!?!?! INSTALL THESE DRIVERS!!!!" and the thing bugging me most is my keyboard. it keeps being retarded. i keep trying to tell the computer it's JUST a keyboard. the keyboard itself tries to say it's a game controller. but i don't use any of it's game features. just the light which is self-powered through usb and has nothing to do with software.

either way, i was trying to figure it out, and i got massive pissed off at it in my tired sleep. i had the light on and i mom turned it off as she was going to bed and i snapped. i felt like shit.

i figured it out 5 minutes later. and by figured it out, i mean somehow scratched my head and it worked.

so i went in my parent's room and hugged my mom and apologized for snapping. how odd did that feel? i haven't hugged my parents in a long time. even though this was just my mom.

i remembered that i've always done things that seem directly hateful towards her. and it's nothing like that. in fact, i like my mom more over my dad. i'm much more like my mom. i didn't want her going to bed thinking i was a mutant spawn that hated her. so i'm glad i went in there and apologized. no matter how much of a sap that makes me. i'm proud to be a sap. i don't wanna be the heartless typical person. most kids these days hate their parents. whether it be because they're bad parents or just ungrateful children. i'm grateful for my parents.

anyways, back to the computer, it appears to be working fine right now. athlon 64 3700+ processor. runs at 2.4ghz. plays battlefield 2 like a dream on minimal mode. i haven't bothered bumping things up because i still only have 512mb of ram. 266mhz even. so once i bump that to 2 gigs of probably 400mhz, i'll crank it up to max. everything will be max. i'll be testing half life 2 on max after this. it should run alright.

back to sappiness, i'm gonna draw pictures for my mom. i'm gonna leave her a drawing on the kitchen table for when she wakes up, and email her work account with a picture that'll draw on here and a message :3 praise me for my weirdness.

anyway, it's good to be back in this shitty chair with a fan constantly freezing me to death. see you space cowboy.
