And it tried to pack up its Miata, all it could fit was a prayer...

I forgot to mention this yesterday in all the flail and "what?", but while we were driving up to Syracuse, we stopped at a gas station and totally saw Ancient Cy. She was like human!Cy, with the white hair and black trenchcoat and all, but older than Cy's human form. For a little while, Jae and I didn't want her to turn around because we were afraid she'd be a grouchy old lady and ruin it, but then she turned around when we were debating whether or not the gas thingy would be able to reach the car, and apparently found us hilarious. It was awesome.

Dropped Gwen off at Best Buy today. I had them retrieve the data off her hard drive and put it on my brand new external hard drive (who is named Tosh), so I should have that, at least, in a few days. Gwen may not be back for one to two weeks. *Tinyflail* I'm a bit spazzy about sending her away, but I will have all my stuff unless something goes catastrophically wrong (I'm most worried about my music and my OaS plot outline), and if they can't fix her they'll replace her, so there's really nothing to worry about, I just... meh.

And Beka got me a netbook for my birthday. Technically it's both of ours, and I wasn't really expecting a birthday present anyway, but it was relatively cheap and a small thing that we can tote around and use for writing is nice, because Gwen is pretty damn huge as laptops go. She is pink, which normally I would mind, but don't so much since I'm sharing it with Beka. And she does not have a name yet.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE FIREFOX ON THE LAPTOP TIM LOANED ME KEEPS CRASHING. RANDOMLY. It's not like I have any add-ons, or am even loading pages when it crashes... it just does. It was not doing this last night. *Frown* (EDIT: Okay, never mind. I restarted the computer and it's fine. Pretend that didn't happen.)

TOMORROW. We are finding a storage unit and getting rid of the damn trailer if it kills us, and we are looking for more apartments. Probably in Syracuse. BAH, why is this such an epic quest? I JUST WANT A PLACE TO LIVE. And to give Caroline back her space, because I feel really bad about that.

Netbooks are pretty handy. That's what I have. :)

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

I am very excited about it. Beka wants to see if she can install Mac OS on it - normally I HATE Macs because the whole layout just drives me crazy, but since it's only for writing, then I could use Scrivener. I have been lusting after Scrivener.

[dreamingofmab.livejournal.com]

You should be able to. I'm interested to see if that works, so can you let me know how that goes?

What brand did you get? ^^

Scrivener? I don't know what that is. Enlighten me? :o

[allfireburns.livejournal.com]

*Salutes* I will let you know. The only issue is that it doesn't have a disc drive, but we can probably get one that plugs into the USB port...

It's an HP, same as Gwen. Mostly, I'm fond of HP because for two years, anything that can possibly go wrong with the computer, they will fix for me. ...I'm paranoid about that. For good reason, apparently.

Scrivener (http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html) is an awesome writing program that lets you outline stuff and write in it and it's very, very cool. But it's only for Macs, because the people who made it didn't want to rewrite it for PCs. I have a program on Gwen called Papel (http://papel.en.softonic.com/) that I kind of like, but Scrivener's pretty much exactly what I want.

[dreamingofmab.livejournal.com]

Yes, you can get USB disc drives. Mine doesn't have one either. But they work so well. I have an Acer which is pretty awesome. I adore it. It's white and cute. ^^ It needs a name, though, unfortunately. So any good name ideas?

HP is a stable brand, definitely one of the best out there. Very user friendly. I'm fond of them. we have a Dell PC that has done us well. I hate their laptops with a PASSION, but they have decent PCs.

AND I WANT THAT WRITING PROGRAM.

[torchwoodsheart.livejournal.com]

Awesome! (Don't mind the journal.) Ummm... I cannot think of a name for something small and white and cute at the moment, but I will let you know if I do!

Yeah, there were a couple Dell and Gateway laptops, but Beka and I both looked at them and went "DO NOT WANT" straight away. And the others were an Intel and a SONY, but having no experience with those, I decided to go with the HP.

IT IS SHINY. And is the sole reason I was almost considering a Mac, before I got Gwen. I decided that the annoyance of it for my main computer outweighed the shininess of Scrivener, but it was VERY TEMPTING.

[dreamingofmab.livejournal.com]

My TARDIS is a gateway. But she has been dying a slow painful death. A good little computer for it's price, but yes. It makes me sad she is dying. The one that I had when I was with you guys! :D Stickered and all. <3

IT IS SO SHINY. I want to find a computer engineering or programming major to change it to PC for me at school. I might. >>

[torchwoodsheart.livejournal.com]

Awww. Poor TARDIS. :( But she lasted a good long while!

Heeee. If you manage to find someone to do it, you must SHAAARE.

[dreamingofmab.livejournal.com]

I know. She's a good little thing. Jsut runs very slowly now. Still works, but is slow. D: LIKE PARADOX MACHINE TARDIS. ;-;

And I WILL NO WORRIES.

How have you been, btw? how was the move! ^^

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

...OMG SCRIVENER IS SO SEXY. WHY DIDN'T THEY REWRITE IT FOR PCS, THOSE DIRTY WHORES? >:E

*bites them*

[torchwoodsheart.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT? ARGH. I WOULD KILL FOR SOMEONE TO REWRITE THAT FOR PCS. BITCHES.

...this is the best rarfierce icon I could think of on this account. XD

[kawaiispinel.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY WE SHOULD FIND SOMEONE. AND THEN BITE THEM UNTIL THEY AGREE. ...I don't know what it is with me and biting today.

XD I look and that icon and I totally believe that Gwen will fuck up some shit. Adorably.

As a message to everyone else, her name is Sarah Jane. I thought about Romana, but it somehow didn't suit, and since she's tiny and meant for writing, I thought Sarah was a better fit.

Guh, I know what you mean about feeling bad about taking Caroline's space. I feel like a bad person who's taking up all of Caroline's personal space and since she works and is sleeping ON THE FLOOR I feel especially bad.

[talkingsoup]

It's okay! We like having you guys around :)

...

WAIT I GOT MY OWN TAG?!
