Wastin' time

lykomancerSo... my therapist-- Xan-- finally decided that I need to take the crazies test and possibly get put on meds.
This is because I told her about my funfunfun week in Ashland; damn, if I had known that's all it would take to get my Zoloft...
I think I frustrate her a lot. I also think she's just trying-- at this point-- to get me to say that I feel "sad" (instead of frustrated/annoyed/angry/disheartened) and to say that I am lonely, which even though I am most of the time, I won't say, though I'll agree with her when she says it.
I got another A- on a Historical paper.
I wish I could be just like Paul-sensei! If I were male, and it legal, I'd marry the man; I love him so damn much-- and I don't even really know why! I absolutely do not understand my infatuation with him, not at all. Although at the potluck on Tuesday before class, I did find out that I'm not the only one. Apparently, he has a small cult following, and no one really gets why they like him so much.
I guess that's what you call charisma!
I also think the married male TA in Historical was hitting on me. !O.o;;; And the chiropractor that's in the class told me that my ribs still hurt-- yeah, still, two weeks after the fact-- because I probably cracked the cartilage. Skippy. And then he told me that he was trying to get rid of some computers; did I want his number?
(Even though he says that they're still Windows 98 and not too much better than the one I've currently got, I'm thinking that I can salvage some of the parts; I mean, what the hell? it's free.)
Speaking of that, I'm browsing computers on the internet, but realize I have no idea what I'm looking for. Could someone give me some stats so that I can have a basis for comparison?
(Like this: "Intel Pentium 4 Processor, 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM, 200GB Hard Drive, 4X DVD+/-RW Drive, Windows XP Home Edition." ...OK, fabulous, and this means what to me?)
I need to stop buying manga.
Like really.
I have about 250$ worth of manga now, and I want MORE! It's like candy; I can't stop buying it. Y'know, I'd say, "OK, I'll just buy the rest of the series I've started, and then stop" but even if I bought the rest I'd just move on to another series. (Like Kenshin, which I've never seen/read but have heard so much about.)
I've totally abandoned my interest in fantasy (except for the Dark Tower series, which is finally finished...but I'm waiting for it to come out in paperback), books on disease, religion...all my favorites...for the junk-food that is manga.
Can't go into Borders; can't go into Borders; can't go into Borders...
And I need to find an art supply store. Like a real one. Although, everytime I ask someone if there's one in the nearby area (no matter where I am), they always direct me to Office Max.
Ok, kids, Office Max is NOT an art supply store. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I know this because, for example, they don't sell linseed oil.
So stop telling me to go there.
Right.
I should go to chapel.

EDIT:
HotASLlady is so very, very hot. I ran into her on my way to choir and my heart felt like it literally stopped. It hurt.
I am also very impressed with (I think his name's Brian) the new ASL person that's in Thursday's Historical class (which, since Tom dropped the class we shared on Tuesday night, I more of an excuse to attend, because it's easier for me to get to and from Thurday afternoon's class than to and from Tuesday night's. This means more HotASL-ness. Yippee for me!); he's cute when he smiles, too.
...I'm not really a walking ball of hormones.
Really.

I'll crank out a list of parts then and track them down with my cheap almost-or-completely-free shipping hardware dealers.

Date: 2004-11-11 07:41 pm (UTC)When's your birthday? Nov 18? 23? Hell if I remember...
I wanna be able to dowload music, anime, and manga. Burn music and video (anime, movies) to disk. I want a floppy drive or two. I want a kick-ass graphics card so that I can watch anything I want with high resolution. I want to not have to worry about how much space I have on my hard drive 'cause I got waaaaaaaayyyy more than I need. I want Adobe Photoshop. I want a flatbed scanner and high quality printer.
...
I think that's it.

Hmm. I shall get to work hunting down the specific parts and get back to you by Sunday at the latest. ^^ Also, tho.. you still didn't give me a budget to work with. >D;;; Like, $1900 max? Something? The printer and monitor will probably be the biggest price pains..
Also, I presume you want to be able to play DVDs? ;) How about being able to burn them? Would you find that of use (technically you can just burn 4gigs of data to disc at a time..) I ask because ABS Computer technologies is selling this really nice DVD burner for $80, FedEx shipping sale of $2. n_n I love ABS Computers. There's also a somewhat nicer one for $100 that has free FedEx shipping - and my orders from them have often come in two days.
Lemme know.

Date: 2004-11-11 10:16 pm (UTC)DAMN!
Date: 2004-11-13 09:06 pm (UTC)I want to get a good high quality that'll last a while at the cheapest possible cost. I techinally don't need a monitor so we can hold off on that.
Playing and burning DVDs! *nodnod*
Gaming! *nodnod*
PREFERABLY, I'd like to keep this under 1500$...but if that's completely unfeasible for what I want, I'm willing to go higher (though that may mean waiting until I get my other financial aid check in Feb. to finish this little project-- see my latest entry as to why).
I trust your judgement on everything. Just get what you think is appropriate.
If this unwarranted level of trust scares you, call me. We can hammer things out over the phone.
