that is making clicky death noises randomly (but not quite dead...yet) and also taking forever and 90 years to open a file folder. (srsly my internet was faster than opening my documents)
SO I GOT A NEW DRIVE. now i have 935gb of space. the only bad thing is having to reinstall EVERY SINGLE THING. it feels like i should at least have more new components in my computer after that, BUT NOPE ITS THE SAME OLD SLOW CRAP
i named my "NEW SYSTEM" stahlarms though because i am clearly not all creeping on stahl/killzone 3 atm. nope not at all.
i need to name the harddrive now too. it needs to be cool. but i will probably just call it Flea-Tortilla something.
AND NOW I GET TO SPEND ALL OF FOREVER INSTALLING PROGRAMS :'C
actually i had a lot more programs in my start menu in my old setup. but i dont even remember what i had installed. i feel like it should be important because i use the start menu instead of desktop shortcuts
this post is pointless but i'm waiting for junk to transfer/install and i feel like i can't do much of anything else!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why my computer is named GLaDOS and (nearly) everything that connects to it has a Portal-related name.Also your start menu is pretty similar to mine lmao. Except with a little more because I'm usually too lazy to pin everything. I'm glad to know I'm not the only person with a vendetta against desktop shortcuts though LOL. The only things I let have shortcuts on my desktop are my Steam games :I
my old start menu took up my entire screen. LOL. this one is literally half the size of my old one. ITS BUGGING ME BECUASE IM LIKE "HOW AM I MISSING THIS MANY THINGS ;___;"
i have NO SHORTCUTS except my poop/dump folder...things i am too lazy to save where they belong or temporary files (since i delete/sort them later on lol) and recycle bin. BUT YEAH. i like looking at my wallpaper usually when im on my desktop. SO I DONT WANT CRAP ALL OVER IT. >:c
JFC LOL. Though to be fair, mine would probably be bigger if Windows 7 didn't have a search bar right at the bottom of the start menu. So whenever I need a program, I just pull it up and search for it and smash the enter key until it opens lmao. WINDOWS 7 FEEDS MY LAZINESS.
This is how I feel too. I have a wallpaper for a reason. I want to look at it, not at millions of desktop icons. Whenever I see a screenshot of someone's desktop that is filled with icons, it just makes me want to cry :'c
I JUST FEEL LIKE IT SHOULD BE MORE TO WARRANT A NAME CHANGE LMAO. but then i realized i really wanted it to be called stahlarms SO YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST DID IT. also i really want to play alan wake. ;______________; someday!!!!!!!!!!! /flips table
W/E JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some of us don't have the luxury of new OS!!!!!!!!!! plus i have like 100 million windows xp home keys i got for free from people giving me their old broken computers that had windows keys on them. LMFAO. /the best person/ SO I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS. i'd have to PAY MONEY for windows 7 if i wanted it ok. my dad and my brother both got windows 7 but im like NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE im always the last one to change OS too. i resisted windows xp until a piece of hardware i got was no longer compatible with windows 98 (YES WINDOWS 98) .......actually windows 98 and windows xp are the only two OS i've ever used on my desktop. :'D
LMFAO ME TOO. IM ALWAYS LIKE BUT LOOK HOW CLUTTERED IT IS Ajhashkhsdhsdj.
even when im too lazy to sort my junk files i will at least move them so they're not blocking faces of my wallpaper. LOL.
LOL you would want to upgrade your hardware before even thinking about switching to Win7 anyway. It's all shiny and shit. At least whenever you finally do upgrade from XP you'll be skipping Vista... :D I also like how you went from 98 to XP and casually skipped the shit that was ME. JUST SKIP ALL THE SHIT OS RELEASES NBD.
EXACTLY. how does someone find anything when their desktop is so cluttered :'c and how do they see their wallpaper :'c :'c :'c
LMAO ITS FUNNY HOW THAT WORKED OUT, ISN'T IT?! I actually did notice this too. And yeah, I hear Windows 7 is useless sparkle (AND WELL, I HAVE IT ON MY NETBOOK, WHICH SHOULDN'T HAVE WINDOWS 7, IT SHOULD BE XP OK. its not made for windows7)
ugh i didnt even think about finding something. >:C people need to do it right or not do it at all ok. obviously i am god of computer desktops everywhere.
BUT IT'S PRETTY USELESS SPARKLE. You can turn the sparkle off (like I have on my laptop because dying graphics card lololol) but it's not nearly as cool. Win7 really is not made for netbooks though I don't even understand what people are smoking to want to put it on there.
My ex was someone who put EVERYTHING EVER ON THE DESKTOP and it annoyed the fuck out of me. He never could find anything either ftr. You are god of computer desktops though. You understand how they're supposed to work... :D
LMAO O GOD THAT WOULD BUG ME SO MUCH TOO. yea i get bothered wheni m lazy and using my desktop as a dumpign ground and it has more than 3 files on it ok. its like UNACCEPTABLE.
My laptop desktop has four files on it. mmhm is it bothering you yet? :D
.......yes..........so are those widgets on the right hand side. tell them this isn't mac os.
Yes, I thought you'd like the widgets too :) :) :) those aren't on by default in Win7 though. They were in Vista iirc which is why they're still on my laptop (since I upgraded it from Vista to Win7) but not on my desktop PC at all. I'd turn it off but I'm lazy and I like having the weather right there anyway :D
My desktop PC would annoy you even more though... I think it has SIX icons because games :D
BUT THEYRE UGRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
why you clutter ur desktop. u cluttererererer. >:c
stahl is judgin youNow I'm going to keep the widgets there forever because they bother you :D :D :D
MM MM LOOK AT ALL THIS CLUTTER
jerk..... >:c
jensen is totes judgin ur desktoop clutter. and so is my icon jensen. DO NOT APPROVE.
Yep that's me :D
But it's games clutter. The best kind of clutter :'c
Flea-Tortilla?! Well, it is unique...:3
LOL yes. i don't even know how i came up with it anymore... but it's been some variation of it for a very very long time now.
Guess who just ordered their Killzone: Ascendancy book?! The price had even dropped too!! Though, according to Amazon the book won't be here until the middle or end of July...:\
yeah actually mine said that too. but then it arrived in like a week anyway. It's because they expect sellers to ship media rate, which even if they do can be UP TO that amount of time, but could be sooner, and usually is. :D but yes that is exciting. I STILL NEED TO FIND TIME TO READ MINE. i hear its good though, and that stahl is amazing as ever.
I'll probably read mine over at Rodney's. I never have any downtime when I am home anymore. I'm curious to learn more about Stahl, hopefully the book won't disappoint...;)
I hope it doesn't either! I hear it follows killzone 3 pretty accurately but with a few more things fleshed out? So I'm pretty excited about that.
After reading your last journal entry, it seems you rather enjoyed the book! Mine has been shipped, but who knows when it will arrive?!
YES! It was really good! There was a couple of things I didn't like about it... but otherwise it really follows the events of the game fairly well. Haha. It added a few scenes here or there and even gave a bit of a backstory on Stahl, WHICH I WAS ABSOLUTELY APPROVAL OF. always nice knowing more things. :D
Unlike, the novel adaptation of The Fifth Element. I heard that it was horrible. There is little to no background info about the characters, which is what people want. I can't wait to read Stahl's back story! I'll let you know once the book gets here...;)
AWESOME! I hope the book makes sense too.. lol I was realizing they don't really describe what some of the characters look like? I mean, it was easy for me because I've seen all the cutscenes a few times and played the entire game twice.... Otherwise it's really nice. I mean it gives backstory on the set up... since it takes place exactly after Killzone 2 (like literally seconds after the end of that game) so its kind of confusing to drop into it if you didn't play it... but the novel explains those gaps pretty good. They also changed.....a few things. One of the other characters I kind of like they made pretty unlikable in the novel and I'm not sure why? They make him out to be inept when I never got that vibe from him at all in the game. :| So idk.
BUT OTHERWISE IT'S FLAWLESS. LOL.
it was actually pretty cool because it copies a lot of the dialogue right from the game itself and I could hear it all in their voices ksladljksalkjd.
At least I know what Stahl both looks and sounds like! Malcolm McDowell has a very distinctive voice after all, LOL!! XD
Maybe, the book will be here today?!
yes this is true. HE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. well the other characters are pretty cool too. i don't really dislike any of them...
except one part but its not present in the game so i pretend it doesnt existbut you could always ask if you had questions about stuff *_*MAYBE!?!!? :D
Yeah, if I am confused I know who I can some to. The book still isn't here, but I will be getting a book on Leopard Geckos tomorrow...:P
YES. do keep me in mind. :D:D:D i can provide any and all info. haha. Also... leopard geckos? :D That sounds neat.
One of the authors of the Leopard Gecko book I am getting is Ron Tremper. He is responsible for some of the interesting color morphs that are out there today.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1882770625/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Ron just released a new Leopard Gecko book, that I would love to get my paws on! Sadly, his more professional books run about $20.00 to $30.00 and go out of print fast. Thus, the prices go up to $100.00+ over time:
http://www.amazon.com/Herpetoculture-Leopard-Geckos-Philippe-Vosjoli/dp/0974297127/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp
I am bidding on a copy of his newest book:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120937513532?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649
Hopefully, I can get it for less then $30.00! :3
also i see the auction already ended on that other one (i am so slow with comments ;-;) ...did you win? IT IS A LITTLE OVER $30 LOL.
I lost, but I actually sat here and laughed my head off about it!! You see, the person that outbid me paid .50 more then what Ron Tremper sells the book for on his website. So, I ordered a copy from him and guess what?! He is going to sign it too. It is just one of those times, where I would love to message the winner and rub it in there face...XD
I'm constantly paranoid for my data... I usually do back ups every 6 months or so so I'd at least have /something/ even though I could lose a bit... BUT YEAH.
I am still making back ups but writing is a continuous process, so it's pretty great.
I do use google drive for fics I write though. It IS really handy, though I can't type directly into it because it's too bright for me. I forgot they changed the name of it... lol I'm still used to calling it google docs.
