"Apparently, I Have Polio Too...."
Merry Christmas, to all who celebrate it! Happy Friday to everybody else. :D
I know I said I'd be in the land of no internet, but as it turns out, that is not the case. Apparently this year was the year to psych each other out. I was expecting my big Christmas gift this year to be rent money. That's what my folks and I had talked about, and I mentioned a DVR recorder (is that as redundant as ATM machine? I suck at acronyms...) as a wrapped gift.
When I opened the square, DVR shaped box this morning....
It was a Macbook Pro.
I have a Macbook Pro.
He's beautiful.
He's very shiny. Which means there's really no choice when it comes to names. I have christened him after the shiniest and sparkliest of them all. But of course will just call him Shinybottom. Now I just need to paint him gold. ;) Though he's clearly not themed, as my home folder/account is named Project Blue. I'm such a dork.
And my father is still speechless over the Retro-Duo Nintendo/Super Nintendo system I got him. The first thing he did after family gifts was go out to the garage and haul in his tub of SNES games. We'll be setting his system up shortly. :D
It's been a really nice Christmas. And not just because of awesome, unexpected gifts. Christmas has become something really special for me and my parents. Christmas Eve and Christmas morning it's just us. We can relax, we can indulge in those activities that are not grandchildren friendly, and just a bunch of things that have become personal traditions. We capped off Christmas Eve with Lemon Deisel and Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special. Hence the title of this post. :D
It's going to get insane when the rest of the family shows up soon, but that's fun too. And hey, I've got plenty of drugs to deal with any stress that comes along. :D
I'm clearly also still crazy. I was reading my little Macbook booklet, and when my eyes lit upon 'Garageband', all I could think of was 21 and 24's 'Wonderful Christmas' cover, and I swear I started to tear up. Oh, you awesome fictional characters, why do you make us love you so?
And finally, to my remaining RP buddies: I'll be back tomorrow!
PS: How do I use spellcheck on a Mac? *winces*

"To my remaining RP buddies"
...why haven't we RPed together yet? ;)
no subject
That is an incredibly good question! Why haven't we? (Also! You still need to give me another fic request! :D )
no subject
I don't know but we really should start! Any ideas?
(I do?! Ok how abooooooout...ok how about either Dean or Brock walking in on some "Hanky Panky?" I'm curious to see how either would re-act XD)
no subject
(...that is an awesome prompt! And I just realized there are so many word puns I could probably do with 'Hanky Panky'. :D)
no subject
(Yay! Oh man, I LOVE me some Hanky Panky! Especially when Dermott's involved ;) )
no subject
LOL just kidding.
If you need help with your Mac, let me know, seeing as you know two MacHeads.

Um...I'm having issues with spellcheck. It is the only place where I am defeated by a lack of right click.

Other shortcuts:
To see everything you have open, scroll down with four fingers.
To push everything out of the way, scroll up with four fingers and everything hides.
To drag something, press down with one finger and use your other finger to drag over what you want to highlight. Then you can drag the text, if you want.
