Right now, I am writing this entry on my NEW COMPUTER! Oh my GOSH it is so exciting! I am making so many mistakes while typing due to the craziness of having a new keyboard to get used to!

So far windows vista hasn't been tooooooo annoying, but I do have a totally stupid amount of RAM and processing power (at least compared to my old baby, can you say, going from 256megabites of ram to 2 FUCKING GIGS plus 2.o gigahertz of processing speed???? MADNESS!). The glory of this is shown by the fact that currently I'm using firefox AND I'm uploading 4gigs of comics to my computer from disk at the same time a feat which my old baby would have just laughed at me if I'd tried to achieve. :/ Only down side so-far is that the image quality is slightly less than my old beasty but that's what you get for having cheap LCD. When I can afford it, I will get a new monitor... maybe...

Anyway, I think I'm getting sick or something... feel bloody rotten, but who cares?! I have a computer, and I think I'm going to spend a fair portion of the rest of the day playing with it and typing up some of all the fic I've been working on which I haven't been able to do on my computer in sooooo long. ^_^

(side note. Waaaaah, I have so many files to move over, it's going to take foreeeeeever. ;_;)

oh, i think i get you now, i've gone over the specs with a fine tooth comb ^^; god dell are evil freakin' genius bastards. and that is a very pretty set up. is the widescreen weird to surf the net on?

yeah! yeah. i can scrimp and save so freakin' well but in the end i have to splurge on something and then i feel guilty as hell (i mean, i really should have bought clothes or something because ohgod..)

CLEVER. SO CLEVER. god, they've got $200 cash back on one of them this week and WANTS SO HARDCORE I CAN'T EVEN SAY. but i need money for first week so i really, i really really mustn't. it's just the processor i'm stuck on now. oh, i want 2.0ghz so bad (is it amazingly woah?)

you coulda gone with Sakuranbo! (sakura petals) :D but yeah, so cliche good choice A++

oh, fail. i hope you get it though. or, yknow, a job. *sends hopeful waves crashing over*

i'm, well, i'm too depressed to write right now.

yeah, it's that whole True Life thingie issue. They are truly evil, but OH MY GOSH it is so worth it. My computer is soooo lovely. It has really nice media interaction buttons too, which always used to fuck out on my previous computers, but work so well on this. ^_^ (just my latest cool-discovery). The widescreen is very weird. Fucks up a lot of stuff. Would prefer not to have it, really but, *shrugs*. Random note - do you have external speakers? Because if you don't, you'll need them, the sound is reeeeally tinny. Even my cheap $30 external speakers are significantly better.

Hahaha, yeah, that's like me with all the jewellery I bought last year. SO unnecessary. But preeeetty?

The processing issue is weird for me, partly because I've had such a massive increase in RAM that it's hard to tell where the speed is coming from, also my previous computer did have 2.0Gz, but it was a SHITE processor which didn't really work despite that speed. All I know know now is that I can do SOOOOO much all at the same time. Can you say, downloading like three things, taking stuff off disks, firefox, Word and Music all at the same time with only minor speed slows? Fuck yeah. Just such a difference for me. I haven't really been able to push her to full-power yet. @_@ So used to curtailing my activities. Oh, and she's REALLY quiet.Not that I want to encourage your poor-ness or anything, but you should at least know the truth? >_>;;

She is love!

Thanks, I sooooo need it. I am sooo in shit with money it's INSANE.

:/ fair enough. I'm trying to think of how to structure the next chapter of the Origi-fic, might get some done today, maybe...

gah. but how did you choose colors? that's the part that's really gonna stump me >__<;;; i like the look of white, but scratches would show. i like the sound of coffee but it's probably kinda gross.....the black one with stripes looks nice but i can't decide.

i read on CNET about the speakers sucking. i think i will pay to upgrade them. i have external speakers but i'm a sound quality whore >.>;

oh, thank you for saying that. what i'm most worried about is it being able to handle PS & the massive HD .avis that i so can't live without... and also S-Video (hooking it up to the TV), because my current overheats and basically gives up after about 1hr. which it also does if i leave it on more'n 10 hours straight... i'm a total power user D:

aw, bb *cuddles* hwaiting!

oh, that would be so cool! *hopes* i guess i should try and scrape together another chapter to send you too.

Colours was pretty hard. Have you looked at the pictures under the 'learn more' button for that section? I don't know about the microsatin ones, but the picture of mine, (spring blossom) was pretty accurate. Which model are you leaning towards? Coz the stripy one is only available for the 1525. I kept swinging back between them and eventually was like AH, just pick one!

Wouldn't just using decent external speakers be cheaper? I'm obsessed with sounds quality, too. Working as a sound-tech screws with your brain. I really need new external speakers that have at least some base, so I was planning on giving my current ones to my brother along with the rest of my old computer but then I turned on some music and I didn't even get through one song before I was yanking my speakers out of my old computer. XD

Wow, you really push your computer, huh, ^_^. What does your current comp have? I have no idea about overheating issues, being a laptop noob.

I wish there was an emoticon for pumping your fist in the air, o_oΐ or something.

yeah. My attacks of sickky-ness are making concentration hard, but you never know! Don't worry if you're feeling the listless-evils. Just enjoy the last few days of freedom. :)

Yeah I had a look but it just made me more conflicted! Maybe red would be nice? I'm leaning towards the 1525 yeah :3 the flowers do look real pretty.

Maybe but then you absolutely have to have them plugged in...which kinda detracts from the whole portability thing ^^ plus I buy cheap but good speakers and they break *current ones are almost gone*

mine has 1.4ghz. which does pretty well considering. oh and 40gb disk space LOL.

i wish there was too. wow, my capitalisation never ever lasts.

it has been pretty nice and relaxing today, really. i did laundry and synced my ipod. life is bearable :) *hugs ya*

I was definitely leaning towards red before the pink flowers ate me. I think red would age the best, style-wise. Hee! We'll have matching computers! They can talk and become friends!

This is very true. I don't listen to music as much as you so I guess it's a more immediate problem.

I've already filled up like, 30 gigs or something. I'm putting everything I've had hanging around on disks onto it, like music and anime and all the stuff you've sent me. Will you just go with the standard HD size? I did because I needed to cut costs and externals are just so stupidly cheap these days I can easily get one later, but other things would be harder to get after the fact.

The internet does not care for capitals, anyway. I sometimes feel like a FREAK. A FREEEEEAK! ...okay, I think all of this is starting to get to me. I need to clean my room or something non-computer related for a bit. ^_^

yay for bearable life. I guess? gah, I need to start checking my old computer for any hiding files then start the formatting. I just KNOW I'm going to loose something though. So scary!

Total awesome to the extreme!
