LJ ate all my S2 customizations whilst I wasn't looking. Thanks a lot, LJ!
I am now happily ensconced in the bosom of my family, where pizza magically appears whenever I say hmm, pizza sounds good, I have already read five books, watched The Office, and won a game of poker, and generally things are good.
Sadly, my beloved laptop is presently having his optical drive replaced -- under warranty, thank goodness. I honestly don't know whose fault it is, but I stuck a CD-R in to burn some CDs toinflict upon play for my family and it made some funny noises and then went in and didn't mount, or come back out, or anything. I haven't done anything particularly abusive to it lately, and I burned three CDs before I left, so I'm happy to go with the assumption that it was somehow Apple's fault.
Anyway, the point being that I am laptopless, and thus even less available for the time present than I was already counting on, until my beloved is returned to me once more. You will have to take it as read that I love you all.
EDIT: Also! I had a bunch of my hair hacked off, which is supposed to give it a coherent style and make me look older! I do not believe that it makes me look older, but then there's not really much hope for that! Pictures maybe soon if someone takes a decent one of me.

On the bright side, my userpic seems to have transmogrified itself into something strange which I do not recognize. Ah the ways of the world... always a surprise in store.
BTW- I intentionally stopped learning about Windows a few years ago. Worked wonders!

The last version of Windows that I was reasonably au courant with was Windows ME (used interchangeably with with "fuck me"), back in high school. I think that I have now beaten Windows XP into submission, but it will probably arise, zombie-like, as soon as I have gone. I'd like ignore it, of course, but then who will protect my mother from the ravages of malware?
