YAY *hugs*

@bella: i know adding fish oil into their food helped olive and fern when they had dry skin. maybe there's an equivalent for dogs (if not more fish oil)? :\
also, my burn doesn't hurt anymore. the solarcaine healed it basically instantly. there's a pair of large scars there now, though. :\

I tell you what, I'm never going to do anyone a computer favor ever again unless they are a real close friend. I had a "friend" at school (he is more of an classmate then a friend) who asked me to take a look at his laptop because it was over heating and locking up. So I take it home and my dad decides to have a look at it and let me tell you, this laptop was on its last breath really. 8 years old, blue screening like crazy, choppy, etc. this laptop wasn't going to make it to the end of the school year. Even so, my dad did some work on it and then told me that it wasn't worth the time or money to fix so I gave it back to the owner without anything really having been done. The kid took it home and I thought I was done with it until the next day he comes up to me demanding that I replace the laptop because "It was working fine before I gave it to you and now it doesn't!". Christ, I had to tell explain to him that its just like it was when I took it from him but he refused to believe me and continued to say I owe him money until I told "fuck off". The next day this kid says "OK Tom, just give me $20 and this can all be over", my response? Same as last time, "fuck off, I don't owe you any money!" and today "$10". I really exploded today and right before a test in AP Computer Science, I once again told him to fuck off and added that if he is in AP Computer Science he should be able to fix the problem himself but since he can't even do that then he should do himself a favor and drop the class. Jesus, this kid has been out to get me ever since I "broke" his laptop and has tried to turn most people against me within the social spectrum and has had them try and pressure me into replacing his laptop. I never want to go through what is going right now again, its not worth my time or money.

Sorry for the rant but I just needed to type that out, it bad enough with the stress of five essays and three tests in a single week along with College stuff piling up the stress.

@Aurora, Kari: Yay! Enjoy winter break ^^
Also, my burn healed up nicely, as well. It's just a bit red in that spot; not anything serious

@Kraus: Ouch :\
Can't say I've had that happen before with anyone I've done computer repairs for, but I do know the feeling of someone trying to turn people against me over a small thing like that

*pat pat* there, there. :[

there will always be people that will try to take advantage of you. for instance, when i was in 1st grade my mum packed some pirolines (fancy cigar-shaped cookie with chocolate coating inside) in my lunch. i gave one each to my friends, and when the other kids on the playground saw that, they all asked for one too, and i couldn't say no, so i only got to eat one myself. it was a hard lesson, but a good one. ;^;

all the same, as cynical as it sounds, never do a favour for someone you don't consider a friend. not an acquaintance friend, not a friend of a friend, a true, wouldn't-screw-you-over friend, since they're the people that deserve your kindness and expertise anyway. (unless the other person pays you, or the favour in question is just to watch their backpack for 3 minutes while they run to the can or something.)

i hope this resolves itself without more involvement. you're completely right when you said that he should drop that class. someone in an AP COMPUTER CLASS that needs help fixing their laptop (that they've obviously had a long time) is a hopeless case that isn't worth the time of day. as for him turning people against you, your REAL friends won't succumb to the hype. and even then, when the dumbfuck does something to screw over someone else, the social tides will turn back in your favour. it'll just take a little time. :\

Sommes-nous en parler dans des langues différentes aujourd'hui? Si c'est le cas, voici la puissance de Google Translate -w-

So, I was having a good day...until my package from Amazon arrived; which ended up being the incorrect size to use in mom's laptop (Somehow ended up ordering a desktop size one, as apparently Amazon lists that model number as 3.5-inch, while Newegg lists it as 2.5-inch). I have a return label ready, and will order the correct drive later. Doing better now, at least, even if I'm still irritated :\

[Chocofreak13]

sucks man. at least you can return it and get a new one in time for the holidays though, right? :\

dunno if it helps, but i got another package today, another christmas present. (it's half of one part of my sister's gift. :3 )

[Bella]

You keep getting wrong-sized HDDs.... D:

Also: There's a new Multics emulation project underway.

MAKE THIS HAPPEN MULTICIANS, I WANT MY MULTICS SYSTEM ALREADY GODDAMMIT.

;___________;

[Nichi]

Indeed >_<

It's frustrating, as the product number is for a laptop hard drive on Newegg, but if you search it on Amazon, it brings up a desktop drive with the same storage space

[Chocofreak13]

:\

this is why i don't search serial numbers unless it's government issued, like ISBN numbers.
