Because Someone Has to do it

Oh Mah Gawd. Leaving the Army in about a week, moving back to Boone!

Probably post a laaaaaaaarge update about all that at a later point! Because you know, I always keep this super up to date.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I have a car again. It's not amazing, but I like it and it's in pretty good shape.
Very excited, off to go get it registered!

Who wants to drive up to Richmond and help me find a car.
This plaaaaaaaace.

Apparently most of the people I know from High School now consider me a selfish, opportunistic ass hole but seem to be pretty sparse on any particular reason why. So I give up.
I'm about 20 minutes south of Petersburg, any of you people who all decided to move to Raleigh want to do something sometime? Should have a vehicle pretty soon, let me know if you're interested!

I'm gonna be coming back from Korea this January! In order to celebrate a year of sitting overseas waiting to get blown up, I thought I would throw a party when I return to North Carolina!

If you live in the NC area and you're reading this then you're invited!
The plan is to do it the weekend of the 25th as that'll be the first weekend I'll be in the Concord area. If you don't live around Concord now or ever, you should still try to come out and see me maybe? I don't know it's not like you guys ever call or anything. Christ I keep in better touch with my Grandparents then some of you people but I'm not judging anyone now am I!

The plan is to get a hotel room around the Charlotte/Concord are. So get off your asses and come hang out, we'll bring alcohol and games and generally have a good time, possibly while making asses of ourselves.
Which as far as I've seen is usually the best way to do it, right?

I'll jump on this bandwagon!
In like 70 days or so I'll be heading back to the states! January 12th to be exact.

I'm gonna spend some time up in the north visiting people I haven't seen in awhile, but since my next duty station is in Virginia I'll be back in the NC area around Jan 19th.

So who wants to do something?

My roommate has started listening to Korean Music on the computer.

It's like living with a pump machine.

I think I own like, 5 shirts.

About 3 of them are long sleeve.

Anyone else trying out Google Chrome?

This shit is actually pretty cool, hopefully they'll fix this 'scroll wheels only go down' issue and get some extensions going pretty soon. I can't find the RSS reader either, but maybe I'm just slow.

It's a good thing I never started drinking.
Also, really starting to understand why everyone else here does.

4th Edition D&D is pretty silly, why haven't you all started playing it yet hmmm?

I have like, half a dozen people I try to interact with on a daily basis.
Why can't they all act sane at once?

I like the way these people think.

Now we just need to get it to run on blood...

Turned 21.
Almost got to 70.
Shae died I think?

So I think I may have just bought a variety of PC parts for cheap by haggling with Korean vendors.
Also I believe that said PC parts may end up attached to a 32" HDTV in about 4 days.

I'm now taking suggestions on what the hell I should use this thing for.
It's pretty powerful; AMD Phenom Quad Core, GeForce 8600GT, 2gigs of RAM because RAM costs like 2$ at this point and I can always buy more.

Well? What's everyone playing lately?

Ah! Finally! Back at the damnable Humphreys. So while my life will finally achieve a measure of stability, I've just lost almost all of my ability to leave the post at my own leisure.

Aw well, give and take. I don't have a 40 minute commute to the nearest source or reliable internet anymore, so we'll see how that makes up for the inconvenience of regularly scheduled work 10 hours a day.

Not to mention the-

Oh fuck it I don't even really want to post now. I'll get something up later.
Back at Humphreys. 66 incoming hopefully.

I feel like Aaron.

Got a hotel since I'll be off for a day or two but don't have any internet access during the times I'll actually be awake.
First thing I do is turn on the TV, flip down two channels, and watch a TvZ on Zodiac. On network Korean TV.
Yes.

So I'm sitting here at this wonderful mishmash of equipment that is the PC in the 'internet cafe.'
Suddenly I realize I'm using a ball mouse. Not only a ball mouse, but an old one judging by the weight and the way the mouse wheel clicks.
I'm also sitting infront of a flat screen LCD monitor, which probably cost about $200 when they bought it.
The tower itself has a 2.39ghz processor, complete with 256mb of RAM.
And a 20gig HD, with a basic XP install.
The realization I had was that I think that the monitor cost more then all of the other parts combined.

Also it lets me go on Ebay but sabotages the connection if I try to bid on something. WTF?
