It's...a miracle!
Sep. 9th, 2003 03:33 pmI am typing from my own computer. Oh my God. It's a miracle. Of course, I can only do this at school for now, but it's MY OWN COMPUTER. MY OWN. I am typing on...MY OWN COMPUTER! No more having to send files to myself in order not to lose them! No more deleting files in fear of the next user finding them! It's mine! MINEMINEMINE!!!
As a starter, I am FINALLY downloading 'And Still', so I can read it in the comfort of my own home. It is the first R/S story that this computer will have seen. Ah, the innocent baby. It'll see plenty more where that came from. Bwahahahahahahahaha!
(Marta's art will be next, mark my words.)
This also means - and I am BESIDE myself with that - I get to have my own wallpaper! And what wallpaper!
immovablemover made this absolutely gorgeous 'At Swim' wallpaper and promised it to me when I got this computer. Darling, can I have it now? (The resolution is 1024 x 768, by the way.)
And, finally, in more good news, I dropped my class and just returned my books for - drumroll please - 120 dollars. I picked the right class to drop. And now I don't have to get up at the same time as the goddamn crickets. (One of them found its way into Sam's bag last night and chirped the whole night from there. They will turn us out before we know it. I hate those fucking things. And yet I still can't bring myself to kill them...)
(I'm sorry, but I still can't get over the fact that this is my own computer. Oh, the glee!)
Things are generally looking up, from all sides, it seems. Let's hope it continues this way. And I love my French film professor. He is just...the coolest. There are not enough words to describe the cool. And the nice. And the funny. And the cool. Did I mention the cool? The only complaint I have about this class is all the idiots that are taking it. If you don't like film - besides 'XXX' or 'Fast and the Furious' - then just fucking leave, because if you think you're being 'smart' or 'funny', try again. You're just being a jerk, and so far, only the other jerks are laughing. Do yourself a favor and grow the fuck up.
But the professor is reallyreallyreally cool.
And I STILL can't get over this. I haven't had my own computer since May 2002, and that was a piece of crap. This is good. And it's ALL. MINE.
(Watch as it breaks on me...)
Anyway. Yes. My own computer. Connected to the rest of civilization. It'll take me a while to get over. And my mother's not even looking over my shoulder or telling me to get off. Oh my God. This is almost heaven.
