The Laptop Guy
I just wanted to share that I am very heavily weighing the decision to take my laptop to a repair center(The Laptop Guy) and get it fixed. There are so many pros to getting it fixed now(not the least of which is getting back on Instant Messenger), that it may be worth it for the first time in the 9/10 months I’ve gone without it. Even remembering the time spent on Tibia yesterday(and I was only at level 21 – I looked it up) has caused, and it may be a temporary bout with Nostalgia, what I believe is a genuine desire to get back “online” so to speak. I dont know at this point if I will or not, but I wouldn’t be posting about it if I wasn’t serious. This Xanga stuff is nice, but I miss some of you guys too much to wait until 2:30 on weekdays to find out how you’re doing. Pros and Cons….Megan, you know what I’m on about. It’s all about will-power I guess. Anyways….

i hope that you do get back online. i miss being able to talk to you, though i myself am not on aim all that much anymore, i would be if i knew someone else was actually going to be on as well, LoL. plus, i think it would be sweet if you were to get that online game as well. that would be awesome! we would so kick butt together!
oh, and i’m not going to ohio this weekend b/c my gma can’t come, her dr. appt got moved from next weekend to this one. so i’ll be going next weekend instead and be there until the weekend after easter.
Well I am going to see how much it will cost to fix it. I’m taking my laptop with me when I go visit the family tonight and it sounds like my little brother’s ex-girlfiriend’s stepfather-to-be(don’t ask) is good with computers and is already slated to look at theirs(a huge piece of crap).
By online game do you mean World of Warcraft or Tibia. I looked at WOW a little bit and it does look pretty cool(no kill stealing!!). The only thing is this: Tibia is free. WoW is like $45 to buy and then at least $15 a month. It might be worth the money to enjoy all the upgrades, but if you wanted to reverse the situation and join tibia(again…it’s free!), that would also be cool.
LoL. i’ll have to look into tibia, since i don’t even know what it is at the moment. but yea, WoW is sweet and it would be awesome if you were to start playing. they are working on some really cool upgrades right now and there is so much to do on the game. i think it’s worth it, but then right now i just have a character on josh’s game. if you can find someone else who wants to split the cost with you and with whom you can work out a playing schedule without fighting, then that would work as well.
and you know i’m going to ask since you told me not to. what? i understand the relationship with the little bro’s ex-gf’s stepfather-to-be, but why would you even have contact with him? LoL. so here i am asking.
Well I’m not the one who has contact with him. Yesterday I emailed my mom asking if there was a computer repair service where she works. There wasn’t but she said that they(she and my brothers) were going to have their computer looked at by Michael(middle little bro)’s girlfriend’s stepfather-to-be. I found out last night that it is no longer ex-girlfriend. That stage lasted about two weeks. Michael was/is the contact person, I don’t know the guy except I saw him when I went with my family to Michael’s girlfriend’s Christmas Eve service.
Clear it all up? lol
Tibia.com
yea. well my family is so screwed up that all of that made perfect sense, LoL.
I gave it to them and now it’s just a matter of time until I get some kind of status report. From talking with my Mom however, it sounds like the guy just knows how to play around the equipment a little and maybe upgrade stuff(which is what they need). He may not be a Mr.Fix-It so who knows. I will probably wait and see what my job situation is(which will inevitably change by July) before investing anything over $100 in repairs. If my bill is $99, it’s a go! If it’s $101.57, no way man!
LoL, i can see you are in a fun mood today! well i hope you can get the lappy fixed soon! see a day like today i would be able to talk to you on aim a little if you could get on… oh how i miss the aim antics!
I don’t miss being tripped and made fun of!
‘Arrrrr’ – Johnny Depp
yes you do!
Well it sounds like the guy doesn’t know much about laptops so still no news about what’s wrong or how much it will cost to fix. Stay tuned…..
