thewrittenfaeSo at the moment, my desktop is just a big paperweight...The poor thing tries to boot up Windows, gets part way there, clutches it's chest and dies, only to reboot itself hoping next time it will be better...and just stays in that vicious loop. The guy that looked at it said that basically it's the ATA connector cord that's malfunctioning and I'm going to have to take it to a shop and see if they can fix it. And of course Dad is sitting there going "I can't believe the crap you do to your computers!" Like it's my fault that a piece of hardware equipment five years old has crapped out on me.
He points to the computer in the basement which is older than my desktop and goes "But that one works just fine!" And it's like, yea, because that one doesn't travel in a car a couple times a year, it sits on a desk and doesn't move ever. Joe assured me after Dad left the room that it wasn't my fault. It's just the wear and tear of the machine coupled with both driving it to school and back when I move in and out of the dorm as well as the fact that the cable is placed in a really crappy spot in the actual computer. But yea, so I have to take it to Geek Squad or some other computer fix'en place to have it looked at and have them tell me approximately how much it will cost to fix it.
Other than that....aside from throwing up here and there due to coughing, not much is going on with me. Yule last night was fun. My illness actually stayed away while people were around so I had fun. Joe and Michelle bought me a big eyed kitty for Christmas and I'll be getting a matching bear! Ben bought me a sock monkey! And Beth bought me this adorable wolf backpack. If I use it as my purse, I will have an excuse to have something cute to snuggle while in class. I love when I get stuffed animals for Christmas! And come Monday, I'll have a video game I REALLY want too!
Cards should be going out in the mail today. I know it's late and I know they won't get to people BEFORE Christmas, but at least they'll get to people before New Years! Being sick has really had me late on a lot of stuff. I still need to box and ship Erin and Kristi's presents. I'm thinking those will be done after Christmas, if only because I'm working today and tomorrow so I won't have time to box them up until Christmas Eve. But they will get shipped before I go back to school!!!!!
