you know, if nothing else, this lack of computer has made me blog more! i’m sure that will fade of course when i have the new beast running…

order day swiftly approaches. my money clears on the 6th but i’ll probably have to wait until the 7th to order because one of the parts i want is out of stock until the 7th UGH! hopefully that will be the final delay. i have just enough to cover over night shipping, so i’m going to get that and have the thing here by the next day.

as the day starts to round the corner, i’m starting to get scared! i’ve never put a computer together before! i don’t have any money to replace anything if i break it during installation, so i want to make sure i do everything right. there are so many things you can mess up when building a computer!! but i am my father’s daughter, and he did teach me a little bit, so i hope that i can do this without him holding my hand.

worries aside, i’m excited about having a new computer. my old one has been chugging along for 6 years, just barely able to make it though videogames, the newer one were becoming a strain to try and enjoy, so i will be very pleased with something a bit more current.
