basildestinyI got my present today. The funny thing was that I picked it up myself too. I'm so, so, so really, very happy to finally have my own laptop! It took me hours to get everything loaded and all of the settings right, but I think I finally have it. I still have a few games I want to load as in Diablo 2 and Dungeon Siege, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
I am just overjoyed to finally have ITunes up and running. I made the terrible mistake of trying to a) import my library from my desktop and b) get Genius working. Neither of those should be updating while you are trying to do anything else on your computer.
Also I had never realized just how large my desktop monitor was until I stared at this one. Now I'm roving all over trying to find text on that one.
And now for the TR news. I've been struggling with having anything to say in the game. I love my pups, but real life or rather REAL LIFE has been stamping out anything creative I've felt. I'm glad I got my post in before reading my flist because I'm again wiped out and bowled over now. I think though I can say that I'm back.
I know it's expected, but I really don't want to weigh in on the latest commentary about Prop 8. My heart isn't in it. Ultimately my position is ill informed because the decision is not being made in my state. There are subtleties that I am missing like the wording on the ballot. Frankly I can't get a solid grasp on what will or will not happen and maybe that's part of the controversy. At any rate, I'm bowing out. I've had a good dialogue with several people over the past week.
My argument has never been that I want to deny anyone their rights or to prevent people from loving one another. Nor do I wish to take anyone's free will. Nor to make any assumption, intimation or other suggestion that "Do for others what you would like them to do for you. This is a summary of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." is not the ultimate truth from God, Jesus or the Bible. (Matthew 7:12)
So I leave it at that.
If, and only if, you have some sort of intellectual curiosity to hear the other side out, then I direct you here. He makes an interesting, but logical case. Also please note that I'm not linking it so you can come back here and challenge me about what he says as though his opinions are my own. I quoted something last time in its entirety simply because it was a short blurb because I was taught it's better to include some contextual reference than take just a phrase. That quote, however, then became my own opinion rather than the frame of reference material I had intended. So this is just some reference material for those interested. Ok? Yeah.
Also in the REAL LIFE and marriage column, there's a divorce looming somewhere over there that has me heartbroken. I hate that it is going to affect so many people. Mostly I hate being powerless to stop it. I wish I could do or say something other than what I'm doing. Vagueness.

Pacey will be getting an EP possibly today or tomorrow. I keep promising, but this time it's for real. XD
