Yeah, but that wasn't the only culprit. My entire setup was just constantly powering down out of nowhere. And made horrible death noises. >_____>

Don't underestimate AMD, my computer used to randomly crash and reboot, until they fixed the drivers. They were super fast though, I had such problems only for a year or 2  :P

Also, all of my hard drives start making horrible clicking sounds at some point. I don't have much luck with hardware.

About to start my last shift before I go on vacation. I need this vacation so much. Happy that I get to fly to Oregon to visit my parents and younger siblings for a week.

For now, it's going back to my roots. I was always into video games, but my first real love was books. I have no memory of learning how to read. According to my mom, I was reading from the age of 2 1/2 years.

Growing up, I moved around a lot. I was also the weird kid (I'm sure you guys are shocked,) so books became my steady friends. I read just about anything I could get my hands on. Biographies, children's books, young adult, horror, romance. Tried to read Issac Asimov too, but the math was far beyond me. There were very few books I wasn't allowed to read while growing up. I'd always had a special love for the good supernatural stories. I read my first Stephen King book at the age of 10. By the time I was 12, I had exhausted King's stories to that date (including the Bachman chronicles) so I had moved on to Dean Koonz and Anne Rice.

I got the love of the latter from my mother, and we shared that love for the books. We loved most of them, from the Vampire Chronicles to the Mayfair Witches to her more down to earth stories based on history, such as Cry to Heaven and Feast of All Saints. We'd discuss our favorite characters from the stories, and it was a bonding time when my mom and I weren't getting along very well. Don't worry, this has a point. ;)

Lately, I've found myself in a funk. I've been playing SR3 and enjoying it. However, I found myself a little lost and I realized that it was time for me to back off from all of it. Including the BSN for now. I'm pretty burned out and I know I'm not going to around much. There isn't much that's going to be said by the devs about ME:A for at least the rest of the summer.

I've got to get some stuff in order, and I was using video games as too much of an escape. It's been hot out and it's been one of those years were things seem overwhelming. One thing after another, ya know? So I made a conscious decision to start reading again. I'm starting with my old favorites. I re-read the Dragonlance chronicles for the first time in years. It was like visiting a friend that I had meant to call sooner. I've gone back to the Mayfair books for the first time in 10 years and it's interesting reading it again through the eyes of an older adult.

That's what's making me happy right now. I forgot how many books Sasquatch and I had owned until I went hunting for the Witching Hour. There is many I haven't read yet. It makes me happy to sit quietly on the couch, book in hand and with Wilbur curled up against my side. I love sitting outside on a mild night and reading a good story. This sounds like a good way to spend my summer.

Awww, Nat, this sounds like a good plan. I'm a huge Anne Rice fan, myself. When I was a little girl I wanted to be Claudia, eternal bloodthirsty prepubescence and all! i am a well-adjusted human being i s w e a r Video games are a great interactive storytelling medium, but there's something special about cracking open a well-worn book and revisiting those printed words again. I don't blame you a bit!

This is TERRIBAD and I laughed way harder than I should have.

Oh, and I've been on a Vampire: The Masquerade kick again, which makes me happy. I bought V20 when it came out a couple years ago, and as far as I know V4's still in the works... I'm a cranky old fogey who didn't like Vampire: The Requiem at all, so I'm thrilled that Onyx Path and co. have basically been concentrating on rebooting oWoD instead.

Now if they would just ignore the Gehenna plot and reassure me that Hesha Ruhadze is alive undead and well, I'll be fine.

Couple of things that went over the past few weeks, we got pay raise that even applied to new employees (some people who worked there a while complained about it not being fair and we shouldn't get money they spent years earning,but whatever) And the night club I had to work didn't turn out to be that bad at all, only major problem was the other woman I was having to work with and I only got someone trying to take my equipment once. Oh and my 90-day trail is almost up so I'll be allowed to put in for a transfer to a higher paying position relatively soon.
