Yay! After a stint of staying up to mignight, playing Wing commander three and drinking various alcoho....er....soft drinks, I have returned!
So, last, wednesday? I left on evac from Hurricane Isabel (damn military) heading down to my grandpa's house, down in North Carolina. So, until sunday morning, I was blowing up army guys with cherry bombs, shooting my dad with paintballs, and playing starcraft on a computer that could barely run it. When I arrived back at my house, it had sufered no floods (thank god), but the nicest tree in the housing area had been blown down, not that I really cared, except it took out my cable, and since I have the cable company providing my internet, phone, and TV, I had a slight problem. Just today, as of 4:57PM did it come back on, giving my internet access back! w00h00! I'm a bit tired of Wing Commander Three....but meh, school is still closed for the rest of the week, I might finish it sometime (Kilrah is right THERE, just one system away >.<)

on other news, I have recieved my new computer, and all it needs now is a moniter, a keyboard, perhaps a new mouse, a sound card, possibly a power cord, and 1 hamster, brown of course. And as soon as I get all those, and network it up to the internet, I shall be making the switch! yay!

oh yeah, and I will be putting up another section of "Hole" when I get around to it, under the circumstances of a week and a half vacation from school.

Seeing as a Galactic Hour is 25,920 years, your message will be around for awhile.

However, it will be in a little place we like to call:

So basically you got a computer and it needs a new everything except for case, mother board, and cpu?

Also, starship titanica has standard galactic week as a different amount of time, not sure what though.
