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.]
