Present to myself arriving tomorrow *drool*

  • Sep. 26th, 2008 at 3:17 AM

I got Spore yesterday. I am almost done with Tribe.

I have been taking a break from school and got back to writing, thanks to Helen! She gave me a great idea that I'm going to play with for my modernized version of the vampire chronicles.


I am getting a new Dell XPS laptop (please don't email me with "dell's suck" because my last Dell lasted for 3 years and I'm still using that one. My grandma is actually getting it when I get this one. )

Me and my husband have had nothing but issues with HP. I recently had to take mine back. I opted for a laptop as my main use for my medical transcription job.

here are the specs:

yes, I choose pink. So shoot me. I'm a girl, after all .They didn't have any good color choices. I sure as hell wasn't getting "ice blue".

If they had had green I would've gotten that. Oh well. I looked on YouTube. Pink isn't that bad. They were sold out of black and white -_-;

I hope to hear from  Jen and Helen. I haven't talked to Jen for a couple of weeks. I just managed to talk to Helen yesterday. Managed to get off my lazy ass and download AIM again lol I hate my s/n.

Talk to you guys later...hope you can view the specs.

Love,
Apryl

When I got my laptop they had green but I opted for red and it came in silver >.< which was an upgrade that I got for free so I was like eh whatever I want to use it now instead of sending it back.

They didn't have pink when I put in I think, it was red or green instead of that. I've seen the pink one though and its not that bad looking at all.

I keep freaking out because my friends list keeps getting flooded by posts from the communities I'm a part of so I spaz look for any of your posts and I try to comment where I can. Right now though I'm going to be late for Psychology if I don't move my butt.

>.> Although...I may skip because we're not doing anything. I'm bad >.< lol!

Oh, sorry for the double post, but I was wondering if it would be okay to use Vylrath's character in a writeup that I'm doing of Isabella's legacy? If its okay I'll change his name and some of his appearances so its not an outright infringement of your creativity. I know how hard it is to create characters and I don't ever want to steal anyones lol! I just really want to be able to capture his essence which really brought our RPs to life.

If I'm allowed when I have spare time I'll do a brief write up of what I'll have him look like and his name and send it to you.

I've to too much creative juices flowing. I want to craft, write, paint, and all sorts of stuff >.< Damn fall weather...

I don't want to offend you, but I just wouldn't feel comfortabe with you using Vylrath- even as a different name.

I know you felt funny when I wanted to use Isabella and I know why. I am going to be using him as part of my creative writing. I'm going to attempt to make him into a romance novel later on.

I am not being mean, or vindictive. I just feel funny about it. I never thought I would be taking writing seriously and I am due to the positive feedback.

I've just worked very hard on developing him. Even though I think he is still very rusty.

I would be more than happy to write with you and get some ideas flowing? Helen (my friend at NaNo) helped me with my vampire writers block the other day.

She told me some of her ideas without giving away too much information about her own stuff.

I am keeping a lot of my writing under lock and key now. I gave Helen some of my brief notes, but not all of it.

You have seen most of my stuff, but the newer stuff is in a "lockdown" mode due to recent contests and NaNo that I'm participating in.

Please don't hate me? I would feel silly if this ruined our friendship T_T I miss writing with you.

I can't believe that I made Vylrath in 2001. I used to have the original s/n until someone hacked it.

Love,
Apey

I figured it would be no, but thats fine it gives me an "in" with the other character I promised a friend I would work in. It'll change Isabella a bit but I've already started a huge reworking of her without first intending to. A whole new set of things. My asking was more an incentive for you to say no and make me use my new stuff lol.

I write almost exclusively for a friend of mine and I wrote chapter 1 last night. Its different than the Kahlan saga and far more -me-. I have to fiddle with the tenses. Kahlan was always a hodge podge of different characters attitudes mixed with mine. In the end she was more like me but she has such a huge baggage of history attached to her that its mind boggling to start anywhere with her.

I have more connection to Isabella and Caela as I made them both myself from the ground up. I might actually go and get this published if I keep up with it. So far so good...lol. I have to email that guy this chapter though I keep forgetting >.

Since I'm a friend, I won't e-mail you. I'll just do it here! Dells suck! lololololoneoneoneoneone *hops around*

Realistically, shitty reputation aside, most things will hold out if you just take care of them. Hell, this message is being brought to you courtesy of an 8 year old eMachines desktop. I WILL seriously say, though, that you got ripped off for that price, unless all those 0.00 lines are supposed to have prices (since I doubt they JUST charged you for the processor). Actually, without presuming (because I don't know what kinda laptop this is gonna be/used for), I'll say it LOOKS like you got ripped off from the look of the invoice.

Brandwise, Dell and HP are the shady ones/mixed feeling ones as far as several magazines go. Lately, I've been hearing about HP being the ones who are on the shit end of the stick, but like I said...it all boils down to keeping it maintained and clean. That being said, opening new stuff is like farkin' Xmas.

Well, good to see you're still alive, since I don't get on YIM that much. I'll try to hop on and see if you're lurkin', or if you're bored, I'm always on MSN. And now, I must flee to update my own!

lolz
I'm not happy about the price, but I'm not paying for it! lololololol* (ok, so you only have skill to do the multiple orgasmic lolzing)

We don't have ANYTHING locally. I will NEVER buy from officemax again- they only have HP's. I got a new HP with the same specs and it got the blue screen after all of the protection I put on it. Got my money back by getting past third party. (My speciality is spending money and bitching. Husband can vouche for that.)

I recently took up bead-working to eleviate the stress. I never thought putting something on a piece of wire would calm me down- but it does. Now I'm obsessed with beads. I'm surprised I'm still married?

I've made a necklace and a bracelet since getting my beading supplies yesterday. Wire-work, so it isn't exactly "easy".

I got my lap today so I'm psyched about it. Graphics look amazing. I wanted the 9K graphics card, but I saw nothing but bad reviews about it. Burned out to easy, etc.

Maintenance IS key to keeping a good computer, but it seemed like no matter how protected I made the HP it just died. Lol I gave up. Love the Dell.

I think I'll put the Cancer symbol on the front since it's pink. I dunno why, but I laughed my ass off at the thought of sitting in Starbucks with that on my computer.

I have a sick sense of humor lately...

I'll tell you the joke about the midget if I see you on Yahoo Messenger.

Re: lolz
That's not ALL I can do...but I'm not of legal ability to tell you about those things. Let's just say I haz mad b3d ski11z. That's good you're not paying for it, but someone's getting taken for a ride on this. I'd tell you about the deal I got, but there's a good chance you wouldn't want the size or weight of it.

Oh, I see. Gotta hate on my job, huh? Actually, if OfficeMax were burning to the ground, I'd purposely piss in the opposite direction to ensure nobody thought I was trying to put it out. In their defense, on behalf of my own tech selling skills, we don't just have HP. In fact, we've now got almost everything except Crapple and Dell. Not that there was any way of knowing, but if I'd of known you were in the market, I could've tried to help get you a good deal. I'm just a nice guy like that...plus I've been getting back into my "looking at tech shit while bored" phase.

I'm not surprised you're still married. Usually when you find the right one, it's a little bit harder than that to get rid of them. It's almost as hard as FINDING them in the first place, but everyone's got their deals.

Probably a fun fact to know, but beyond the Nvidida 9 series, they have the FX series, which I've heard are pretty goddamn amazing. Flaws aside, Nvidia still takes the pimp hand to ATI any day. I've personally got the 8700GT in my laptop, but I also have a load of other stuff in it that make it not for the faint of heart or weak of arms. Even with the card you have, it should still be able to handle some of the low to mid-range games with good settings, if you were gonna hybrid it out between work and play.

Sometimes, it's like the limbless fat kid in the ocean during a tropical storm - you can't save 'em all. I'll take a "hating everyone" standpoint and say that, given my second-hand experiences with the two, BOTH Dell and HP can suck a digiwang. Shit, I'm almost led to believe my safest bet is with this eMachine here. In fact, when it finally DOES die, it might have to be buried, as I've grown so attached to it, heh.

Sick senses of humor are often fueled by the outward stupidity of others. Exhibit A: coffee shops. Coffee shops are to retards like the underbelly of refridgerators are to cockroaches. I'm sure you'd get someone who, in a fit of spastic verbal diarrhea, would say something idiotic about our Zodialogical symbol, like, "ZOMFG iz a 69. Ur so durty!" Or, if society has plunged uni-nationally, you might get a text about it. I think I may have used up my morbid humor for today, so I'll just pissed at dingbats with cell phones.

I'll try to be on sometime tomorrow, but always on AIM and MSN. At almost 3am, I have some srs Animal Planet watching to do. You go have fun with your new happy box; If you've been wanting it as long as I'd wanted mine, I'm sure you're damn happy to finally possess it, and are quite deserving of it. If you're more like me, you probably won't let anyone even breathe near it for a week, lol.

I keep wanting to do bead work but I stand in Michaels or wherever and go "durr pretty beads" and shuffle off because there are too many choices and I get a thousand different ideas for jewelry and other crafts and return to the "durrr" moment. Its an endless vicious cycle!

So, instead, I've become obsessed with sewing. I've forced myself to do it only on the weekends so I don't go OMG sewsewsew during the week and neglect everything else. Robert just rolls his eyes at me and mentions he likes the mouse I made him.

I'm going to make bath salts and things this christmas so tell me what scent you like! It'll be with epsom salts and if I can find enough some sea salts too.

My favorite color is blue by the way o.o followed closely by green and I've becoming passing fond of purple.

And you're going to be married forever, you can't get rid of that husband of yours with just a few beads and wire :P
