@secrets: Yeah, it was the strangest thing. I went and plugged the power cord and the air card in it like I normally do, then I pressed the power button, and all the indicator lights went dark and the laptop wouldn't turn on... O.o; So I started messing around with it for about 15 minutes or so with no luck, still wouldn't turn on. -.-; Finally, I unplugged the power cord and the air card, then tried turning the laptop on, and it booted right up ^.^; I plugged the power cord and the air card back in, and it seems to be working fine now, but I have no idea what the problem was or if it'll happen again :headdesk:

Also, I'm having issues because the company OC (Operating Center) that I stopped at for the night won't fix the problems that I have with my truck because they're apparently really backed up and my truck isn't broken down on the side of the road :roll: Guess I'm going to have to head for a different OC to try to get the truck fixed there >.<;

And, other than all that, I guess I'm doing alright. :P How about you?

--EDIT--

@Suzhi: Glad to hear that you're not sick anymore :yes:

@Kazz: Ooo, are you watching the original CSI, or one of the shoot-off's (Miami or NY)?

Ooh CSI is good. I just watched the season premier a couple hours ago.

Hello everyone, sorry it took so long to stop in. Was finally creating profiles for the RP's me and Kazz are doing and couldn't deal with the distraction >.<

ee.. -goes to read and watch her season premier-

@Suzhi; Okay. I'm very wrapped up in what I'm doing, I should pay more attention to it. xP What book are you reading?

@Dimitri; Eep. I hope it doesn't do that again and it was just a one time thing, but who knows. Are you thinking about getting a new laptop?

I'm good, busy working on graphics. :D

@Kale: *tacklehumpgasm* Heya, love!

I like CSI, too. Oddly enough, though, I only like the original CSI with Grissam, Warrick, Sarah, Nick, Cathrine, and Greg. I don't really care for CSI:NY or CSI Miami, for some strange reason :sweat:

Dimitri: I'm with you on that one... I really only like the original CSI too... I think it must have to do with the characters or something.

@dimitri: haha, yeah.. ^_^ but its not likely that i will ever willingly drink herbal tea again!! 4 days with that stuff, and you just want to puke.. bleeh

@dark: haha, its good to take breaks.. well, I'm reading a book called bloody jack.. its quiet good,. >_<

*waves to kale*

@secrets: Yeah, today was the first time my laptop has done that. I hope that it doesn't do that again, but it worries me that it's getting ready to die :sweat: But, yeah, I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon. Hopefully, anyway. I need to wait until I get home for my vacation, fix my pickup, and try to get my Christmas shopping taken care of first. Not sure how my funds will be after all that. :XP

@Morwyn: Yeah, that's a good point. I think that you may be on to something there :yes:

@Suzhi: Yeah, I can imagine (since I'm not really big on tea to begin with :sweat:
Bloody Jack? That sounds oddly interesting (catchy title ^.^). What's it about?

@Dimitri; Aww, poor laptop. *pokes it* Don't die. How long have you had it?
Already thinking of Christmas shopping? Ack, that actually reminds me that I need to do mine. :headdesk:

@Suzhi; Ooh, that's an interesting title, what's it about?

@Kale; *waves* Hi there, your avatar looks so cool. :D

Dimitri: Yeah... because Grisham is just teh awesomeness... and the others are good solid characters as well. :D

Hey Suzhi. <3

Dimi; Same here. For a while I liked Miami as well but then I started disliking it. And I never liked NY. xD

Its really good/. uhm, its about a beggar girl living in the early 1800's.. basically she loses everything, and decides to go on a british navy man-of-war as a ship's boy.. there are several book in the series, and i would warmly recommend them.. ^_^ it has a really catchy storyline..

edit
@kale: oooh, you decided on a red based avi? it looks good with the flames! >_<

@secrets: Mmm, about... *thinks* ...3 years? Maybe? Don't really remember exactly when we got it. Aryah and I originally got it to share, but since she got a new laptop, the old one became mine. Naturally, after it becomes mine, it starts acting up... -.-;
Well, I HAVE to do my Christmas shopping early since I'm only home for about 2 - 4 days a month. Doesn't exactly leave me a lot of time for shopping :sweat:

@Morwyn: I agree. The original CSI is pure win ^.^

@Kale: I'm not even really sure why I don't like the other CSI's. I just...don't :P

@Suzhi: And the name this girl goes by when she gets on the ship is Bloody Jack? Sounds like a pirate name :ninja:

naw.. ^_^ actually her name is mary faber.. but after losing her family, and her friends she decides that living as a boy is much easier (this is the early 1800's, so she probably right), and renames herself jack.. she chops off her hair, and goes on a war ship dressed as a boy.. but she does go into piracy in one of the later books.. >.<

@Dimitri; 3 years or so? That sounds it lived a good life, hope you're able to get a nice spiffy new laptop soon. :)
Ah, I see. I have to get stuff for my cousin's 5 1/2 year old boy, they won't be spending Christmas with the family this year so I'm going to ship it to them before they leave for Japan. I have no idea what to get for him though.

@Suzhi; Ooh, that sounds like an interesting book. How many books are in that series?

Suzhi: I think my sister-in-law was reading those books. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I know someone who has has been reading them, because that sounds so familiar.

>.>

-Flops-

@dark: well so far, 6 i think/. i think the books are good, because the plot varies so much.. though the second book is a little boring.. >.< ooooh, me likes your new avi!

@morwyn: probably.. i don't think they are that known in america, but i got it in england..

Sorry that I disappeared! I got distracted >.>;;

@Suzhi: Ahh, ok. Sounds interesting. I might have to look into that :yes:

@secrets: Yeah, I guess so. And, considering the fact that it's spent about 85% - 90% of it's life out here in the truck while I'm out on the road, I guess it's kinda surprising that it lasted this long (I've heard that riding in a vehicle shortens the lifespan of computers. Even laptops). With the type of hardware that I'd want on my own laptop, though, it's going to be pretty expensive. Probably around $2k, at the very least ^.^;

Suzhi: yes, well, she is a librarian, so she's got her hands on all kinds of books, constantly.

@morwyn: oooh, i always wanted to work in a bookstore.. though it must get kinda boring in the long run.. haha ^_^

@Suzhi; Aaah, that's cool. I'll have to look for it, since it does sound interesting & I've been wanting something new to read - though I have so many other books I need to read. :lol:

@Dimitri; That's true. 2k? Wow, you must want lots of hardward on it.

@dark: haha, yeah, its an easy read.. good to distract you from more important boring stuff that needs to be done.. >.<

@secrets: Meh, I don't know about a lot... Basically higher quality. Especially the video card, hard drive, and a 17" screen :P A higher quality sound card would also be nice, but isn't very practical on a laptop unless you hook some good external speakers up to it. Which also isn't very practical for a laptop that is usually on the move >.>

@Suzhi; Haha. I think I'll write the title down, because I need to read some other books. I have lots of books that I want to read but have never gotten around to it - so I should read those first. xP

@Dimitri; It seems like you know what you want already. :) You should also get a nice case for it so it doesn't get damaged and whatnot. :yes:
