To some people, the floor is the biggest shelf in the house.
Some people, like me.
You see, in order to set up new PC, which I did name Idril, by the way, I had to make room for it. This involved moving my student desk, which involved taking everything off of it, and cleaning in general. It was a whole-day job.
I ended up taking out part of the back of the shelves on my desk, and the lower shelf entirely, to make room for the computer. I decided it'd be a good idea to make sure there was ample ventilation for the thing, since fire in your house and on your computer is always bad. It also means I don't have cords hanging down over the side where they could be accidentally ripped out/trodden on/etc. So, it's all good.
Why have you forsaken me?
However, the filthy Harvey Norman slaves somehow deprived me of the Word 2002 and Excel [or whatever] 2002 that I was entitled to. However, I do have Microsoft Encarta 2004, and I do have Microsoft Word 2000 from other [this] PC, so it's ok. But still. It was mine, and I want it. I'm not actually sure that I was entitled to it, but, I still figure that I was, and feel cheated.
In your eyes forsaken me
So I'm going to do that tomorrow, and transfer much data from this PC to *my* PC. Because, frankly, there's nothing stopping me. In fact, it would be foolish not to. I'll have the house to myself tomorrow, so I can leave both computers on without causing too much commotion. Not that it would anyway, but, you know. Stuff, yeah?
In your thoughts forsaken me
And, my god, it is good to finally be able to play Neverwinter Nights after over a year of owning the thing and not being able to play it. *shakes head* So good. Few can understand.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lone_one can, yep. I'm not sure about anyone else though.
In your heart forsaken.. me
Trust in my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
I love this song so goddamn much. Really. I do. Oh, yes. [Chop Suey, System Of A Down, if you wanted to know]. The only bad thing, is every now and then I get this stomach-twinge of my newly aquitted $2000 dollar debt [more or less], but it's ok. It's not like I can't pay it. It's just, you know, that's a fair bit of money.
I found my Birth Certificate - it was where it was meant to be the whole time. Haha. Funny, really. So, I'll get my learner's permit within... the week. I hope. I really do. I have taken the sloth far enough with this one... I want my lisence just because I want it. Of course, once I get it, I'll want to drive around and stuff, but I guess that'll be ok. And things.
Why is it always 1000 years? A famous hero will have lived 1,000 years ago, it was 1,000 years since the last great calamity, the evil nemesis has always been locked away for 1,000 years. It's always one thousand. Why? Why not more?A thousand years is a pretty inconcevably long time - making it more will actually have little to no effect, because the world of the RPG is hardly ever concerned with technology, and when it is, the nemesis is magical anyway, and thus inherrently powerful and not inhibited by his/her [although it's normally male] lack of technological knowledge. And in the maybe one case in RPG history where this isn't correct, they have an aptitude for learning that puts them well before the everyday citizen, and thus they suffer no handicap.
There's also always an old guy/spirit/thing that acts as a mentor and is the font of all the knowledge that you will need for the period of the game throughout which you know little/nothing about anything, particuarly the world.
I'm not complaining, we all know how much I love RPGs. I was just observing.
And in other news, I know what I'm gettingmarmot_pie, bwaahahah. I know, I know, it took me ages. But it's hard, ok?
We (my Mum and I) took Bonnie for a walk this arvo, down to Maylands. Bonnie has to be the most hillarious dog ever. I like Maylands, it's nice. It's also where my mum grew up, so that's why we went there. I think I might be a little under-the-weather though, because my glands [neck'uns] hurt from the cold wind, and that only happens when I'm a little ill. But nothing serious - I feel fine... Should just take it easyish.
Which reminds me -marmot_pie, my mum'll be picking me up at 12 from your partai. What time do you want me to get there? 3ish?
So, life is good for me at the moment, but it will get better. Or return to better. [Because Gavin is still sick, but says he's feeling like he's getting better. Boundless joy - no really]
I think I may even go now, and play NWN. Because, and here's the fantastic part - I can!!
*cackle*
