Self proclaimed: Gamer
Guilty as charged. I don't want to remember how much I spent on my computer last year. I think I spent $2200, but it was a high end machine and still is. The only problem is that it's a desktop computer, but it suits my lifestyle fine. If I find that it needs to be faster, I'll just replace what I need to by myself. I was lucky though as I could get most of the parts of my computer at near cost price.
The Good: Windows 7 was released today.
The Bad: I haven't been paid yet so I'm still waiting to get Windows 7. _________________

Bad: I alienated another friend last night, and it doesn't look like she's going to take the hint that I'm not doing it because I want to, I'm just following the path ahead of me.
Good: I'm reasonably sure that the aftermath of that particular chain of events is, finally, over. _________________ The pen is mightier than the sword

Hey Lone, sounds like the path you have chosen has many sacrifices along the way. I just hope you'll have no regrets when you've reached your goal.
The Good: I was out of the office the whole day today. It's nice to work on site from time to time.
The Bad: The day I'm out of the office turns out to be a hot day, and I'm wearing black clothes. _________________

I didn't choose it, and I don't want it. It just kinda happened, despite my best efforts to stop it.
Though come to think of it, I didn't try very hard. I wonder if it's too late. _________________ The pen is mightier than the sword

Never too late to become a better person. Address your problems logically and try to formulate the best solutions to them. Read up on whatever it is you want to do and use the advice and experiences of professionals and those who came before you. The only emotion you want in your thinking about how to improve yourself is the desire to achieve, and you need to keep up that intense desire for at least 6 weeks. According to numerous psychological studies it takes 6 weeks of difficult, "God I don't want to do this" work to tip the scales and make those hard changes into regular habits. Address everything with science, logic, and patience and try to find some specific motivating factor to focus on for when times get tough. |

Good:
I finished finally the chronological maps for ancient Britain. It took weeks to finish. But as I remember now, longer it took to me to make the time to finish the last centuries, than how long I spent on the complete creation.
Bad:
By finishing Britain it's done only 5% of the total work  _________________

The Good: Got Windows 7 Ultimate Edition yesterday. I've found it to be easier to use and figure out than Vista. There are many possibilities. I ended up paying $266 for it, which is actually considered very cheap here in SA.
The Bad: I had to format my computer in order to install Windows 7. I spent most of last night transferring all my data over from my two external hard-drives. I'm probably gonna spend the next week or two trying to organise all my data. _________________

The Good: Since I now have my computer up and running again, I've been playing games, watching fansubs, listening to music and watching hundreds of AMV's everyday.
The Bad: I've been way too distracted to do any kind of organizing on my computer. _________________

That's no joke. Only 2 days after installing Windows 7 did it tell me that it found and deleted a worm. I'm thankful to Windows for that, considering that I don't even have an anti-virus program installed. _________________

The fun: tomorrow, planning to go out shopping with a friend to augment his girlfriend's Halloween costume.
the running joke is that he's gay and she's actually a guy, so we're going to see if we can assemble a prosthesis to make Dr. Manhattan feel inadequate.(Hopefully WITHOUT visiting any adult toy stores.)
He wants it to stand up to tactile inspection, as well as visual.  _________________ The pen is mightier than the sword

The Good: Organised everything that needed to be done for my friends upcomming wedding.
The Bad: I've had already had double my usual amount of coffee today, and it's still early morning.
The Strange: My sister is going to a Halloween party tonight, dressed in a sailor uniform? I though Halloween was supposed to be scary. _________________

I apologize for any offense, but to quote Dave Chapelle, "I love Halloween, or, as I call it, Annual Girls Dress Like Whores Night." |

No offense taken, mstice.
The Good: Been very occupied since my computer is working again. Playing many games, watching many fansubs, listening to lots of music. I'm starting to neglect my social life a little. I guess i should give the computer a break for a while.
The Bad: My hands look like raw meat. Kittens are playful and dangerous creatures. _________________
