Spring Break, etc

As the title suggests, I'm getting my computer back tonight, hopefully. :D Somebody woke me up this morning and told me that the dude who was fixing it wanted to ask me some questions, so I called him. Being half asleep, this is how the conversation went:

"Hey, I just need to ask you a few questions."
"mm...kay..."
"What OS were you using? XP or Vista?"
"Mmm...98..."
"....seriously?"
"Mmm...no...99..."
"There's no 99."
"2000?"
"You used Windows 2000?"
"..Wait..what was the question?"
"...What OS did you use before you brought your computer in?"
"Oh, XP."

I'm just hoping he didn't get angry enough to give me 98. Or 2000. Or Vista. *shudder*



In other news, March Break (Spring break, for all you Americans. Our spring isn't here yet. D:) just started and I can already tell it's going to be an interesting one. I went out with my family today, and during the car ride to the restaurant, I saw a cop. Now, this wouldn't be quite as interesting if he wasn't on roller-blades. Chasing after a car. A speeding car. The funniest thing is, the car slowed down to see why he was being chased by a rollerblader, only to be fined.

I also spotted a pair of Americans (Could tell by their New York license plate) that parked next to us at the mall, and we walked behind them, as we were headed to Walmart as well. Well, luckily we didn't follow them closely, or else we would've walked into a window as well. The McD's window, too. Talk about a walking stereotype.

I miss my PC.

My mom's taking it to get repaired today by a family friend who happens to be a computer tech (Like...all our family friends are.). I kinda doubt he'll fix it because it needs a new power supply, and only my dad is enough of a pushover to give somebody something like that.

Ah well. I'm excited though, I can't wait to start scanning some of the things I've drawn traditionally, and start doing more digital work too. I also wanna install a new MMO that I might start playing with a friend. Wheee~

Also, I've tried out some new recipes and confirmed that they are delish. 8D [Yes, I bake.]

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Bitchiness

Ookay...so apparently linking to one of my posts has gotten a lot of people to read my blog...always great to have new readers, but these are like, people MY age. Oh god.

Okay, so here's the rules. Read my blog, follow the rules. Otherwise I will kill you, and sing. Bwahahaha.

1. Don't quote one of my confessions from my 100 confessions and ask "is this true?!?!" Yes, it's fucking true, Captain Obvious.

2. I don't want to hear about anything I post on my blogs IRL. I know what I wrote, moron, I know better than you.

3. I'd appreciate it if you don't link my blog to people either I don't know or people I'm not on good/friendly/close terms with.

4. It's been less than a week and frankly I'm sick of people talking about my 100 confessions post, so drop it, okay? Be satisfied with the knowledge you gained, okay? (It feels nice to learn something, doesn't it? You twit.)

5. The next time somebody asks me what my blog is about, I'm going to kill a bunny. It's a personal fuckin' blog, get it? Yeah.
