my laptop, she is fixed! hallelujah!

After practically a month passed, I finally took my laptop in to the local Toshiba repair centers, and luckily Toshiba is doing the Bios password repairs for free until December 31st, 2010! This is great because I'm literally broke - I have five dollars in my savings account, plus roughly fifteen thousand dollars in student loan debt that I have to start paying back, plus I owe my parents over a thousand dollars for various things. While my parents are nice enough to let me stay in their house free of rent, feed me, and let me drive the car which they pay insurance on & fill up with gas, paying for repairs on my laptop just so I can carry it around places to catch WiFi, as well as using it at home in preference to their shitty desktop.

...Also my parents pay for the Tracfone I use now (god I hate that thing). Basically I am a little leech on their lives right now. I suck as a daughter, in all ways. Moving on.

I suppose the thing I love best about having my laptop back...well, there are many things. For example, I just carried it to Whitworth tonight so I could sit down for an hour or two after the weekly Dungeons and Dragons campaign I am a part of and download some musics. Downloaded a new episode of House as well, so I am almost caught up (squee!). Oddly (conveniently) my username and password to Whitworth's student wireless network still work (as opposed to their guest network).

I also love the fact that I'm the only one who uses this computer, as opposed to the desktop I've been using for the past month (which several people use). So I can feel free to stay logged in to all my various social networking sites, etc, on here, instead of logging out to ensure my privacy is secure, and having to log back in to everything every fucking time I reopen the browser.

Another fantastic thing - the browser. NO MORE INTERNET EXPLORER, FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE! I could cry for sheer joy.

I'm a happy camper right now, basically.

so pumped

I HAVE AN INTERVIEW TODAY! I know it's stupid to get this excited about just an interview, but this is literally the first one I've had since I've been job-searching. YAY!

shit i want, pt. 1

I've decided what I really, really need, is a biggish reading light sort of thing to hang near the front bit of my bed. It needs to have a chain that'll hang down to right near where my head usually sits on the pillow. That way, when I read in bed before going to sleep (as I often do) when I'm finally like, bugger this holding the book up nonsense, I'm ready for SLEEP, I can reach out, grab the chain, and pull the light off. Otherwise I have to freaking get up and WALK to where my light switch is, over by the door, and then by the time I get back into bed I've absolutely interrupted my normal 'drift slowly off to sleep under as many covers and pillows as I can find' routine. So...often I try to just sort of pull a bit of blanket over my head and sleep with the light glaring overhead. Either way, it just does not work.

the next big horror movie opener?

I came downstairs from washing my face and there was like...an oat on my chair. Just a single one. I don't know if it was a calling card left by the Oatmeal Killer or what, but it was definitely the weirdest thing that has happened to me today so far :P

IE fail

Freezing & shutting down because of an error from a page that I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING AT ANYMORE?! Internet Explorer, you suck at life. Die in a fire.

math fail

I just made an absolute idiot of myself you guys. The job application I just put in had a full page of basic math, including like...finding the area of a circle. It was awful. They're going to tape it to the wall and laugh at it for years to come. I'm so embarrassed xD
