/me rocketlaunches the dwarf.

Almost all people I know have resits till the 12th September and have been studying for them from July 15th onwards.

I don't get it.

Anyway, I'm making money atm, so no complaining here.

 

I just bit my tongoue. I think I was so hungry, I tried to eat more than it was advised. It even bled a little, now it just stings like hell.

Note to self: Eat more carefully.

I'm gonna' go find some chocolate.

 

Never toss a dwarf. Use a rocketlauncher.

 

Try eating something really cold like a popsicle or a slurpy. That might help with the bitten tongue. *Dragonfly gives 'Heal Simple Wounds' potion to Lord Garak*

 

Anybody else ever wonder what it would be like to fly? You know, without the help of an aircraft, or other device. Imagine how cool that would be.

 

@Jaguar:
Every day of my life. I wish I could chase those annoying little birdies up into the sky.

 

Have imagined it (don't we all?)

And even managed to fall from a fair height, some time ago. From what I can recall the experience was exhilarating - frightening, and somewhat stress-filled (I was old enough to realize this would hurt, but young enough to mend up the broken arm fairly quickly ) - but yes, it seemed to be thrilling.

If I had been in *controlled*flight* instead of free-fall? I'd have to say it'd have been a wonderful experience, instead of the basis of my now nearly-recovered-from acrophobia

 

I sometimes dream I'm growing wings. You know, those demon-like leathery things.

Never dreamed about tails or horns though, so no need to worry.

GL with the mending, apathetic empath.

 

Huh. I have always dreamed of more angelic wings. I wonder why the difference...

 

Who needs wings? I would prefer to fly by will alone.

 

Okay I've manage to arrange my schedule, But still that piece of junk lagg even though now I have 768 MO RAM. Go figure.

 

Flying; I can never keep the cape tied. An umbrella is no help either (Julie Andrews *lies*).

@SoB - The shot went over his head.

 

I really like Tyrael's wings from Diablo II. They'd definitely be my mode of transport of choice.* And they can be used as extra limbs in a pinch, kind of like 'cubi wings in the DMFA strip...

*Well, either that or Darth Vader's X1 prototype...

 

Yes, Uytuun, you would look great with Baalor wings.

 

Now everything is almost at an acceptable speed. Now I can play normaly 2d games, including bg2 (which is about the only 2d game I have). But it still lagg like hell for 3d games.

I re-ask again the computer cl(j)erk and he still insist for a complete Formating, and of course the 50$ fee for WinXP. I don't know what to do.

Do I format and maybe solve the problem also loosing all my data while doing it. Or keep it at this snail like speed and use it primary as a school tool, for I will inevitably have many work to do at college.

 

50 bucks for windows XP? It costs way more. I doubt you could find a new OEM copy for anything less than 150 USD. Is he offering you a pirate copy or what? Or did you buy the computer and the buggers withhold your very own CD from you?

 

Though I can't speak to the legality of it, it's a common practice in most computer shops to re-install XP for a small fee (i.e. $50). They're supposed to check your computer to make sure it has a unique license, but some don't even bother to do that.

 

Finally some work today, but my back won't let me get it done. I should have it done by the deadline though...

 

@Felinoid: Ah, I see. So it's just the bucks for fatigue, not for making the OS available to you. I'm not sure about the legality of it, but you need a CD key to install your Windows and that CD-key is tied to you, it also being one CD-key per person. Strange indeed. It looks illegal to me but I can't be sure from what I know.

 

I used to practice lucid dreaming. Every time I was able to realize that I was actually dreaming I'd go flying.

- By the way, please check out my poll in online adventures, I'm very curious about this one.
