updating my journal not for any particular reason... i don't even really have anything to talk about.
well... anyway...
i'm finally starting to get all my computer parts together. i got my processor, ram, case, and i also bought a new mouse (it's optical AND has a scroll wheel! it's already twice as good as my old mouse! yay! ^_^ ), and now i'm just waiting for the motherboard. i've had some problems with having it shipped several times. i ordered it twice previously and both times the order was cancelled due to complications. :/ i've ordered it again, this time from a completely different company that charged a few more dollars for it, but if they're able to ship the damn thing to me, it's worth losing a few bucks. i can't wait to get my computer together. the processor is an amd 1.5ghz/1800+, motherboard is an abit kx7-333, ram is kingston 512mb ddr sdram... aluminum case and logitech dual optical mouseman... this computer is going to R0X0R. ^_^ i think though, what's funny, is that i didn't really need to have a faster computer. i just hate how slow mine is right now. but i never really got into games because whenever i tried to play them, my computer would be slow and id10tic... so, perhaps with this faster computer, i'll get into some games i think i'd like to play. andy likes the idea of a lan party, in which we'd all play alien vs predator 2. i've played that game a little and found it quite entertaining, except at that time i had a crappy video card so it wasn't that much fun.
i'm sooo tired right now.
money is starting to get tight. carl and scott's freeloading is going to have to come to an end. zach paid me some money already and will pay some more on his next paycheck, so i'm not worried about him. that will actually help out alot. but carl and scott need to bring in some money now. i pay rent, bills, and buy food for all of us. they use their money to go out and buy things they want and do things they want to do, while i'm stuck working and paying for everything. it sucks. the only reason why i could buy computer parts is because i got a credit card (to build up credit, hopefully good), but coming soon i'll need to start paying off the card and if i don't get some money, i won't be able to do that. it's so hard for me to bring up the subject of money though. :S i always feel really bad about it, i guess because i don't feel that i should have to ask. but i guess i'm going to have to buckle down and lay down the line. i can't go into debt just because of this. i can't let it... i've done so well so far. if i could get at least $100 from carl each month, and at least $50 from scott, and if zach can pitch in $100 as well, even more if possible... that would be well enough to make sure i can make all my payments. this is going to be how it works. i imagine they'll make a fuss if they're not able to go and do the things they want to do immediately, but if they pay me off first, they can go to blow whatever remaining amount of money they have on whatever they want. freeloading for them is nice, simply because they don't have to pay bills. they just make money and spend it wherever and however they like. well, god damnit, fun's over. rawr.
well, the fuckheads decided to stick me in a busy market, so i gotta go.
