LAWL.


Okay, so.. It hasn't been daily. That's fine, that I missed a few days. My aim was to be at least weekly, and so far, I am surpassing that goal by a wide margin! xd

So, the carpal tunnel has still been incredibly horrible. It got so bad, that I took out a metal splint, and duct taped it to the worse of my two arms - the left. I went to sleep like that, and even if it still hurt so much I could cry like a little baby, I still hoped it worked. And by the next morning, it had, if just a little bit.

Enough so I didn't want to get drunk to numb myself, anyway.

So I get ready for school, and I figure.. "Probably shouldn't go to school with a duct tape arm", so I take the duct tape off... Boy it hurt.

So, my skin was about 3 shades lighter, and red. I figured maybe it just looked lighter because it was red, or it peeled the first layer of my skin off.

But, it's been a day, and considering my hair is still intact on my arm, and my skin isn't red any more, but still 3 shades lighter...

.. I'm not tan, I'm just dirty.

Personally, I like looking this tan, so if it's just dirt, and it only comes off with lots of duct tape stuck to my skin for 12 hours, then everyone will just have to be fooled. XD
Also would explain why I don't get sunburned often.. I have a layer of DIRT PROTECTION.

And strangely, I don't find this gross or weird, or anything. I just find it funny.
DIRT FORCEFIELD ACTIVATE!

As for other news...

Came up with a new profile that is for Gaia(that's a hint). I have it up on one of my mules already, but I doubt you'll figure out which one it is. It will remain secret until I'm completely done because.. Well.. I'm 90% sure that if I pull this off right, I'll get profile spotlight.. Or at least pretty damn popular.

Attention Whore-ness strikes again.

In the meantime, I finished the Geometric Q triangle profile thing, but I'm not sure if I want to use it, since it's kind of bland, and I really like my current profile.

In other news, I got the new motherboard, and it works. I'm on the new computer now.

I've fixed up windows, and the repair install was an interesting expierence. I've nailed a few trojans I've had on my HDD for about a year(haha, go no virus protection) and now am in pretty good shape.

I just need to reset my sound settings(I had a custom sound configuration theme. Everyone laughs at it but I think it's awesome. When my machine starts up, it will say "Ew, this place is gross." and then "Hey, stop making fun of my childhood home.".. And pretty much every sound is customized. It takes about an hour to set up, but I've reformatted so many times it's pretty much natural to me now).
And then put in my extra harddrive.

I can't continue working on the new Gaia profile until I put in the extra harddrive, since my gaia profile is on.. The extra harddrive. The new case I have only has two slots for harddrives. I ghetto rigged it the last time I put it together ot include the last harddrive, but left it out this time since I wanted to make sure everythign worked before filling up the case more than it needed to be(the case is incredible small. Think macmini).

Right now the case isn't closed, and since it's so small all the wires kind of pop out of it when the cover isn't on.. So I'm going to steal a term from someone else and say my computer's currently running in "Exploded mode".

I haven't run any memory-intesive programs yet, so we'll see how my new vidcard and ram fare against the ultimate tests:
Premiere 6 rendering tons of effects at once, Flash tracing a bitmap, and running IMVU without lag.

But those tests will come well after I get this HDD in, and finish the Gaia Profile.
