Bastard computer...
Oh man...you know how annoying it is to be running on 16 colours at 640 x 480 pix? Well, that's what's going on right now...it's so bloody annoying!!!
The computer crashed on Monday; I think I might have accidentally deleted a shared file that was needed to run the drivers properly...cos when I rebooted the computer after a brownout, the screen just blacked out on me, but it was in various stages: Red would go out, then Green, then Blue = BLACKSCREEN!!! I thought it was the monitor carking it (it is about 9 years old) ...but when I started it up in SafeMode, the thing was working fine...but on 16 colours and 640 x 480 pix...so, I followed suggestions from my sis's bf (Mike), and tried to uninstall the drivers while in SafeMode, but my comp is not working with me, so here I am, sitting down to a really funky looking screen...most of the applications won't work, so I'm lucky I guess to be using this...better than nothing though...:)
Man, this sucks...
But apart from the comp, things are going pretty well I guess...got an e-mail from Naomi who's on holiday in London...and from what I've read, she's going pretty swell, though I don't think she'd want to go back to the US anytime soon...I could be wrong...she wants to go to Canada though...I don't know about all that Homeland Security stuff though...
Erika's deleted me from her contacts, so I guess that's the end of her...cleaned up my files too of everything about her...was pretty hard, but after it I felt so much better...
And suprisingly, Jay replied to my e-mail too...haven't talked to her for a while...but she's going well, so that's good I guess...she's in Bali from what she wrote...*shrugs*
ARGH! What is it with this girl!?!? Her name's Emma, and I've been talking to her for the better part of a year...and I still don't know her last name...man oh man...oh well...she wants it that way, then it's that way...can't really force a girl to tell you her name can I?

- Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc
