Is my birthday.

It’s a little sad that I hope he remembers.

It would appear as though I’ve run out of words.

n’est pas?

I hate you.

the end…

But not really. So a while ago I bought an Acer Aspire One Netbook for school. This thing has been nothing but fucking problems.

Day One:

• Webcam causes computer to cash. I figure, whatever it’s not like i use a webcam ever anyway.
• Keyboard is stuck in french. Finally after 2 hours of frustration I manage to fix it.
• Laptop over heats and restarts like 3 times within an hour
• Spend 2 hours uninstalling all the shit that comes on the laptop
• Spend another hour turning off processes and services that just slow it down and aren’t necessary.

I am like a boy sometimes..I love gadgets. I seriously loved this thing so much that i was willing to look past all of this and just fix the damn thing and be on with it. I’ve had the thing about 3 weeks. It gets the job done, it looks pretty and it is fucking awesome to have a laptop that fits in my purse-honestly.

However the other day the wireless stopped working. I could disable it, repair it, reinstall drivers…nothing worked. I seriously was about to throw the piece of shit out the window. I didn’t even want an acer to begin with, I wanted a dell but no one had the model I wanted, and Best Buy wouldn’t sell me the floor model even though they aren’t carrying said model anymore.

So I borrowed my friends car, drove to futureshop and told them to fix it, or give me a new one. The tech guy lectured me about turning off services, but quickly shut up when I told him I knew what I was doing and he could double check, but i hadn’t turned anything off that would cause this issue, or any important services for that matter (I was right, obviously.)

So after bantering back and forth he said he would just set it back to factory default. Inwardly I groaned because I was losing all y school work, would have to uninstall all the extra shit again, plus the whole webcam issue would likely not be fixed- but beggars can’t be choosers. We went this route and I agreed to come back in two hours (even though i really could have just done this on my own at home). Luckily I have the extended/replacement plan and next time this happens I can ask for a replacement.

So, I bring the fucker home, set her up and get to work. Once again:

• I spend several hours uninstalling all the extra bullshit
• I  spent another hour installing updates (which i didn’t have to do the first time)
• Keyboard is still stuck in french, luckily i know how to fix it now.

However today new problems are popping up. The damn thing is lagging, programs randomly shut off, and stop responding. I am at my wits end. All the reviews I read on these things were fairly decent, so maybe I just got a lemon, but this is a lot to fucking deal with considering the damn thing isn’t even pink.

Just is about a bunch of family issues basically explaining why I have Daddy Issues.

If you want to read it leave a comment and I’ll email you the password. OR you can take a stab and try to figure it out on your own. Rest assured it’s nothing  juicy or secretive..it’s just some stuff I’d really rather not have my family read about since it doesn’t exactly paint either of them as perfect.

Scratch the last post.

I’ll be going sometime next week instead.

Well, I’m sorry folks. My hosting ran out and since I was laid off I haven’t had any money to renew my hosting. Thanks to Renee at Belle for hooking me up.

I’m back..and I wasn’t bright enough to backup my blog before my site was on the fritz, so I suppose I just need to start over. I’m pretty much okay with that anyway.

My life seems to have come to a crossroads over the last few days. Atleast I can write and free up my feelings now…I think if I didn’t have this outlet I’d probably go insane.
