Real Life

I don’t like writing about myself and my life too much. It’s a narcissistic indulgence that would only be interesting if I was an astronaut or brain surgeon or something. However, sometimes it’s nice to use an online journal as an actual journal, you know?

Happy Stock Photo Kid

This was originally posted on deviantArt after my PC’s motherboard had a climactic knife fight with the processor where both sides lost. This is the journal post I made after I got my repaired PC back from Roger the Almighty PC Repair Guy. I’m typing this on my own PC,…
