the_dala at 04:30pm on 13/07/2003Ahhhhhh.
I FINALLY have my own computer.
In my ROOM.
I didn't think I'd be able to use it until I went to school, but I suggested packing away the stereo for now (since it's been unplugged for two months, I've learn that I do not actually need it that badly) and setting it up on my desk, as opposed to a temporary setup on the kitchen table to see if it works. And hey, why not leave it here till I leave, just to make sure there's nothing wrong with it?
At least that's why my dad thinks I wanted it in here.
Really it's because now I have FREEDOM. A sweet glorious month of having my computer in a totally private place (because of course I'll have my roommate at school).
This is awesome. It's a Dell, and it's so PRETTY ::pets:: Plus, I love my daddy: he got me a sub-woofer, upgraded my sound card, and installed a CD burner. He knows me so well. The sound is amazing. I'm burning Katherine the Ataris CD right now!
Sigh. I'm so excited I can't even think straight. This is the last of the Big Stuff I Don't Have to Pay For (with the car, and the college -- though I do have to pay for at least part of those). It's like the last vestiges of childhood.
Okay, now I'm freaking myself out.
Think I will go to the pool once this finishes burning. That's a sure sign of how great a mood I am in, that I would actually venture out in public, in my own neighborhood, in a swimsuit.
I've still got leftover stuff to write about, but I want to download Semagic on this computer, and I want to start transferring all my files (no more fear of parents discovering my files of homosexual smut! that's a true load off).
