TheKey's Journal: What's going on?

Let's see..

School. The semester is nearly over for me. I can't wait until next semester, where I pretty much have no difficult classes.

Snow! Jesus Christ - I love snow. Aaahh. It makes me happy just thinking about it. I can't wait to get out into the slopes for the first time this year on Sunday. Those of you who've never been skiing - try it out. It's difficult to like at first, because you fall down a lot, which isn't really that fun. The more you ski, though, the more fun it gets. When I started skiing, I was in the position that my cousins and childhood youth group took trips every once and awhile. So I really didn't have to have any initiative to go, and soon became addicted. To me, nothing is more fun than trying out a new slope that's beyond my skill level and flying over a dropoff, almost going out of control through the random moguls, but making it to the end.

I built a new computer about a month and a half ago. 2.53 GHz, 512 MB of PC3200 DDR, GF4 ti4600, the works. It's been good to me. I've been playing a lot more games, obviously..

Music. I've really gotten into Mogwai and Sigur Ros. I think Mogwai may be one of my favorite bands of all time. Check them out. Howard Shore has popped up in my playlist due to the timing.. and, uh .. I admit listening to Enya lately.

Building computers and installing OS's

I have never built something from scratch, but just getting new computers takes long to adapt to. I have to install programs, lose some data and transfer some through floppies and winzip (multi-disk files stink ) and the works.

However, I spend lots of time acquainting myself with the OS. I tried Mandrake the a month or two ago for my OS class's sake. I spent lots of time messing with it, and I guess all new things just disrupt the balance in "the force" for a while. Well, enjoy it! We got a new computer but I have been told not to mess with it. Oh well... I still got this one! But through the years I have become a bit indifferent to hardware. Games too. I have FF7 and bad hardware, maybe that is part of it :)

PS: I just dropped by here from FortKnox's reply to some Ekrout comment.

Re:Why use His name?

[TheKey]

Actually, I do say "Mohammed", "Buddha", and "Allah" sometimes. See, I'm agnostic, and I like to poke fun at a lot of religious leaders and deities. It's not all stress, either, it's a lot of excitement (Praise Mohammed, chocolate cake!). I admit that I use "Jesus Christ" more, probably because I was raised Catholic and that's just the name that's stuck in my head more.

Anyhow, I don't know why you posted as AC, unless you were trolling or something. In which case, I enjoyed typing that out anyhow, so ha :D
