The one where he has never wanted a computer to start up more in his life...

Actually - that's not true. Although it kind of is. There was that one time when i was fucking around with linux, and i coudln't get my computer to boot into anything past a cursor. That sucked.

But this time, the fucker woudln't even turn on. It was working fine - needed a new hard drive though, the old one was ready to go. So I imaged the drive (made a copy - yeah that's right, with a xerox machine too), and put the thing in the corner for a week. Pull it out today, it doesn't boot past the little "hp invent" screen. Then later, after i take it apart, and put it back together, it starts for a few min, and then craps out halfway through booting - like, craps out craps out. Like no juice. There's no calling scottie on this one. He's dead in the engine room. And our friend never turned on again. Thought the lady was going to be pissed, but she was cool with it. [in reference to her daughter who dropped it in the first place] "well, she's just not getting another one. oh well" lol, i guess oh well. stupid people dropping laptops. they aren't toys after all.

Kettle corn is like the coolest kind of popcorn. It has a mixture of sweet as well as salty, to bring your taste buds to a gentle simmer. And now, coming to your neighborhood, is boyscout kettle corn. You know it. had that for lunch today. Good stuff. I think it's bad for you though.

So I spent the entire day with this damn computer, but before that, i went to my mom's office where i got berated by her computer guy on the phone, talking in a lofty tone, and asking my mom if she "really wanted her son working on her office network" Fuck you man - i know my shit. You just messed it up when you came the first, and what's that, the second, AND third times, so instead of you coming and charging them insane amounts of money to fix what you broke, they asked someone trustworthy to help them out? Wow - dick.

And to think i almost wanted to ask this guy for an internship. Blow it out your ear.

Appologies for the angry post.

In other news, i'm happy, in every way possible :-D
