IT'S ALIVE!

Yes, my computer is up and running again, now with a 120GB hard drive and a lot less crap on it. I'm in the process of running a data recovery on my old HD (using a nifty USB-t0-pATA converter), and should get back all of my important files. This ordeal has taught me much on the value of backups. Though, for better or worse, all of my files that were actually important (resume, school files, etc.) were already backed up on school or email servers. Now, I can back up all of my unimportant files too. Woo!

The Unthinkable

Today, the unthinkable happened. Yeah, my computer died. It sucks. I ordered a new hard drive from Newegg, as well as a nifty adapter thingy to get all the data off of my old drive. Hopefully, I'll be up and running by the middle of next week. Until then, I'm confined to the clusters. In the meanwhile, I can practice living without a computer. It'll probably be pretty eye-opening, considering how much of a hermit I can be at times.

What rhymes with procrastinate?

Yeah, I have work to do...later.
In the meanwhile, I'll update this thing for the sake of not doing said work.
Wednesday is the point in the week where everything compresses. Either, I get wicked stressed and all my homework piles up, or it all winds out as I've done all my work and don't have enough assignments left to fill in my free time.
Everything's been going slowly so far.
And I'm a little afraid I'm backpedaling, which is stupid.
I guess the more time you have to think about things, the further you get away from your rational core.
I need time to write for the campaign. I'm not feeling this one yet, which kind of sucks. Maybe it'll get better...I just built it up way too much. Maybe I need a break, or just something that gets my juices flowing. I don't know why this isn't.

"It's Complicated"

I blame Facebook for giving me any incentive to care about others' relationship drama.

In other news, this roleplaying forum has given me a new place to vomit all of my cool ideas on. I want to see how this wiki thing works, though I'm a bit scared about what will happen. In all honesty, the fun of it is seeing where it goes. It's not going to be as totally off the wall as Ghyll, but since we don't have as many people, it wouldn't be efficient to start from random points. If I ever knew 100 interested people, though...
I'm probably going to make the process a little different, now that I've had some time to think about it. For one, there will most likely be an upper bound on the number of pages one can write in a round, to prevent any one person from being more prolific than anyone else. Also, there may be a stage called 'gameplay' instead of or after the last round, where aspects of the wiki are updated and changed as things happen ingame, or to account for possible additions to the world dynamic in the form of backstory or revealed history.
All in all though, I think my set of rules will work well. Seeing how everything emerges, we can decide exactly how kooky and/or cool this will be.

NERD! NERD!

Triple Shot of Oy

Long relationships ended in the house within the past month: 3

Jeez, I hope it isn't contagious.

I figured out what my favorite type of music is

My favorite type of music is live music.
I mean, I'll listen to anything, but a good concert is almost always more enjoyable.
Live jazz? Sweet. Live Hip-hop? Saw Atmosphere, that was pretty sick. Live Reggae? Matisyahu. And so on...
Saw these bands tonight, Marking Twain and We The Living. Both on the indie side, only moderately within my typical circle of interests, but live, they both had great stage presence, and put on a good show, so the type of music wasn't a big deal.

Tomorrow, we finally meet to start the space campaign. I am so fucking stoked.
