Irony and Self-Deprecation

I got a new computer! It's a Compaq. It has a DVD burner, 2gb of memory, and a 260gb hard drive. It cost me $450, and I lurve it so much. It's everything I've always wanted in a computer. So much space! It's so freaking pretty, and it's the first computer I've ever bought. I'm quite pleased. :D I can't get my old computer to start up, but I think it might be a display issue so I'm going to try to plug it into a monitor so I can try to get some files off of it. Luckily, I've been moving stuff to my external hard drive pretty regularly, so I'm only missing files that I downloaded in the last 2 weeks and there weren't that many. It would also be nice to get my bookmarks. I lost all of my fic bookmarks, included my 4 folders of BoB fic. I don't read them as often, but they were handy to have for recs and stuff.

I just had this flash of inspiration for my Gender and Mass Media paper, and it felt good. I have an idea of what I can write now, and even if my professor shoots some of my ideas down, at least I came up with something! I think what I have in mind is relevant, and I think he'll be able to help me expand on it and it feels so good to not be terrified over that paper. :D I have to remember that great, "YES!" feeling because I think that can keep me going and keep me wanting to write rather than dreading writing anything ever.
