Listening to: Evanescence - tourniquet
Feeling: torn
Okay, Dance Dance Revolution, with all it's subliminal backgrounds, and flashy arrows will totaly mess up your brain. (Some would say it's the icecream I ate before going to bed, but that's just 'cause they prefer popcicles over icecream, and they think everyone should eat popcicles instead of icecream, and that one day popcicles will rule the world, so we must eat them all before that happens!)
Anyway, I was up 'till like 3 chatting with Dani. Wow, I was really argumentitive last night. (Again, DDR's fault) I called her a n00b for everything from her font (Which went from a big bold pink font, to a skinny font (which was 1337...Even in pink) to an italcised font, to...well, you get the picture. She eventualy ended up back with the 1337 font, but it was italicised.) to her decorations on her computer, to her wallpaper.
Seriously, I think putting a lace border around your monitor - which is already pink, with tons of decals - is a little much. I mean, who the fuck stares at the plastic case around their monitor, instead of just looking at how beautiful your operating system (most of you use a GUI I assume) has converted all those numbers to colourful pixels.
And I told her that. Guess what she said.
"Oh, I made my desktop all pretty too. I've got a cute little mouse pointer, and funny little icons, with fluffy little error sounds teehee ^^
And I have a totaly chic skin for winamp, and a fuzzy little wallpaper, which is just adorable, and I renamed it "closet" instead of windows, because closet is where you put all your clothes!" (Paraphrased)
Naturaly I couldn't take anymore and started crying for the poor computer.
After a few therapy sessions, I had began to learn how to cope with the fact that her computer can not be as 1337ly plain as mine.
-Okay, custom cursor = wtf.
-Custom icons = wtf.
-Winamp skin = wtf. Okay, they're not that bad, but I don't like them. I use winamp 3 'cause it's nice simple and clean, with a plain skin.
-Renaming windws = FUCKING STUPID. I mean, what if you start getting compolsive? "Oh wow! A big purdy folder called "windows"! I'd better rename it!...How come the screen's blue now? I can't see my cute little cursor..."
-Big flashy wallpaper = Well, I guess it's not too bad. I don't see much of a point though. I've got the standard plain blue background as mine. Except I wrote "If you can read this, you are not working" in an awesome monospaced font. (w00t monospacing)
I mean c'mon, computers are meant for working! You know? Staring at long lines of code, or attempting to place a pixel at a precise point with a crappy little mouse...
NOT FOR GAWKING AT YOUR FRILLY MONITOR, OR OOGLING AT YOUR WINAMP SKIN!
And it turns out she only uses her computer for MSN...I mean, c'mon, just give me your computer, and use the computers at the library if that's all your going to do!
I'll have a rant about how much money she wastes on clothing etc, later.
Anyway, back to how the DDR theory > the popcicle theory.
So I was sitting there, talking...when I sudenly realize "wow, it's 3 am!" so I tell Dani I'm going to go to bed, but she fell asleep at the keyboard (If it shows "#user is typing a message" for 20 minutes, it means #user has fallen asleep on his/her keyboard) So anyway, I'm laying in bed, and all I can see is flashing arrows scrolling up, and me trying to get halfbeats. That was fun ^_^ But it got boring around 5...So I finally fell asleep. Then I woke up an hour later - woke up from a nightmare (I don't remember what it was about) then I tried to get back to sleep, but I kept seeing DDR. Plus I couldn't breath very well (When I havn't had enough sleep for like a week it gets uber-hard to breath) so I got up and took my puffers. Then I went back to watching arrows scroll up. No matter how hard I tried, they wouldn't go away!
Anyway, I finally fell asleep around x o'clock, and woke up around x + 3 o'clock.
Aw, I have to go eat! I was just about to go into another long version of a story. Namely, how I got my new 160 gb hard drive.
Maybe later. Bye! *waves like an energetic seal*
