I'm back.

Some of you already knew/could guess from having seen me around on either AIM or posting to F_W and other comms, but... yeah, as of about three weeks ago, I finally have a computer again, and can come on here on a more reliable basis. :)

I would've posted an announcement sooner, but I REALLY wanted to make sure there'd be no more mishaps. Well... that and my usual flakiness/laziness. ^_^;;

Anyway, big thanks to those of you who offered comp recs when I asked for them. We wound up not using them, though - for some mysterious, unexplainable reason, Juan changed his mind at the last moment and suggested just buying a new hard drive over at the CompUSA that opened here a few months ago. And after I was getting so psyched on the idea of getting TEH SHINIES a laptop to play with, too. Pooh.

Oh well, at least this was a cheaper solution, which meant that I was free to purchase something I'd been meaning to get - one of those printer/scanner/copier combos by Epson (My old printer was still working just fine, but my scanner [which was pretty ghetto to begin with] was making this ugly yellow line down one of the sides the last time I used it, and I'm guessing it could only be worse by now.). So now I can attack people with totally random scans of manga and doujin again, yay! XD


In other news, I got switched to the 6:00 PM shift last week. Now, while this means I won't be making as much money anymore, it does mean that I get to have something more closely resembling a normal life more free time, and for that I'm quite glad - I'm still feeling slightly wiped out from December's insanity.


Also, to those of you who sent me "Happy Birthday" messages in your LJs last month ([livejournal.com profile] arcian, [livejournal.com profile] potega, and [livejournal.com profile] zannechaos, if I'm not mistaken), I just wanna say thank you. It made me happy to find out some people had noticed. ^^


Lastly, to my Anonymous Benefactor - thanks for the paid service present again! (Or just plain "thank you," if you're a different benefactor than the one before.) You = awesome. ^_^

Hee hee! That's okay, I never really expect anyone to remember it, given it's practically right after the whole Christmas season. ^_^;

Thanks! ^^
