flash memory »

Do any of you use flash memory drives? You know those little.. stick things that you can store all sorts of junk on? I know a few of my friends use them for schoolwork and such. Did you ever think that they’re pretty much a replacement for floppy drives and floppy disks. Yeah, that just occurred to me. Call me slow or what have you, but it honestly never occurred to me before. Interesting food for thought, really though. Thinking about how computers have changed, expanded, progressed, and evolved.

Private jet charters? »

So my very first experience in a plane was flying to see Dave. That was… nerve-wracking at best. I wish I could’ve slept through the whole thing. I’m wondering what it would’ve been like if I would’ve signed up for a private jet charter. How do those even work? Yes, that’s a serious question. Like, it’s just you and whoever you want on the flight? That would be kind of cool I think. More relaxing I’m sure, if you can afford it. I know I was constantly worried about Corbin not wanting to sit still, and I was worried that he was bothering other people cause he was ornery as usual. So if you could afford it, I think that could be kind of fun. Plus I wouldn’t have to sit near the effing window and get super dizzy.

Zits »

How do you know when you need some serious acne treatment? Is it when regular face soap just isn’t cutting it? What’s the big difference between facial wash and body wash? I mean, aside from the obvious. Is facial wash just gentler? Perhaps.. It doesn’t seem all that different. Some of it even smells the same.. looks the same… feels the same. Just in a fancier, smaller bottle. lol.

I have breakouts every now and again. I’m pretty sure most of my female friends have at one point or another. But damn are they annoying. Just feels weird to know you have a zit on your face. I wanna take a big scrub brush and scour it off my face. lol. Sad part is? It’s not even freaking noticable and it’s still bothering me. Oh well.

Holy crap »

I am in dire need of caffeine. I’m still not sleeping well. Thankfully Corbin is. But damn I could so invest in one of those personal espresso machines right about now. Get a little tired and then BAM! Insta-awake. lol. Yeah yeah… pretty stupid I’m sure. But still. How many other people want some espresso now? Well, I guess I’d rather go for a cappuccino right now, but still… someone bring me the caffeine. I have a feeling this is going to be a long, long day.

(I made four or five typos per sentence.. every sentence… BLAH!)

Reading Rainbow! »

Who else used to watch Reading Rainbow? Our reading class in elementary school would watch one of the episodes each week. We even did our own little reading rainbow thing.. Recorded ourselves talking about different books. All sorts of books too, ranging from history books, to Amazon books, to fantasy and more. I actually miss that show. Is that sad? It didn’t have the best graphics or anything but it was still cool. It was just a nice way to learn about books before investing time into reading them.

Credit cards »

Credit cards have always been a weird subject for me. On one hand, I’ve seen them come in very handy. I’ve seen them have great rates. I’ve seen them offer things like no balance transfer fee and no APR and all that stuff. But I’ve also seen people go into debt because of them. I think with the right rate, and keeping up on payments of course and not going overboard - they can be a nice thing to have around in those “Oh crap” situations. I’ve never owned one mostly because I don’t trust myself with them though..

Research, research, research.. »

Has anybody ever been in one of those market research groups? Or taken a market research survey? My Mom does those surveys all the time. Some of the questions they ask are completely just.. bizarre, to be honest. Like, off the wall questions - trying to peg your specific demographic. Sometimes they don’t let you take certain surveys because you answered yes to this question or no to that one. I always wonder what the results of the surveys are. What they’re looking for exactly. Maybe I’m just overly curious, but eh.. Such is life.

I need to clean my computer »

Seriously.. It’s getting bogged down. It’s starting to lag up and go slower than it used to. My poor, pretty computer. *pets it* The good thing is, PC memory doesn’t work the same as laptop memory, so I can just buy my own stick of memory and plug it in the little… slot thingy. Yeah, go technical terms, eh? I couldn’t do anything with my laptop. Yeah the portability was beautiful but the ease of upgrading my tower is so much better, in my opinion. I’d rather have a stationary computer that I can upgrade easily, and take apart and fix rather than a portable one that I can’t do anything with.

Organization »

So, I have found that my desk can’t exactly fit everything that I want it to fit, so I’m looking, again, for more organizational tips… products you’d recommend.. Anything and everything from audio racks to shelving systems. What I’d ultimately like to do is get a nice shelving system for the wall underneath my tv in the living room. One that could hold the dvd player, the cable box, and maybe even the Wii. Seems like that’s far too much to ask though, because all the ones I’ve found aren’t really what I want. Eh… maybe soon..

Wow.. »

So I got a letter from Dave the other day, and he’s doing alright in basic. I miss him, but it was nice to know he’s doing alright. I love him so much, and in th letter he wrote something that pulled at my heartstrings. He wrote “I’m gonna be a soldier.” I burst into tears. Not like, upset tears. Just like.. awww. And then tonight I was talking to Mom and it hit me. My boyfriend is a soldier. I’m not upset about it by any means, but it never really occurred to me. So I’m proud of him.

I’m dating a soldier. It’s something very new to me. I’ve had nobody in my family or anything in the army.
