Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!" Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh." Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

So most everyone knows my computer set-up was crappy. What most people don't know is, my computer (given to me when I was 16) crapped out about five years ago when I was still living in my own apartment. Since then, I've had to share a computer with the boyfriend. That lasted until we moved down here to Florida, where I was able to, for a time, borrow a semi-okay laptop from one of the people we live with. Eventually said person got fed up with how much I use the laptop and took it back (in which they used it for a week and then it was basically never touched again... go figure). So I was again, regulated to borrowing the boyfriend's computer (let me tell you, two computer nerds sharing a computer is dangerous), and then occasionally using the original iPod touch to log in. Yes, I used an iPod to log in for a good few real months (I even had Pentharian yelling at me when I was logged in on it). Affording a computer was nearly impossible due to lack of work, and then any funds from work having to directly go into bills or fixing my car or doctor bills or whatever else.
Now, back to about a year ago, a lovely Achaean named @Tessa decided to pack up for me an older laptop. Certainly not the best, and is in fact fairly ancient with its 4 gigs of disk space and 528 megs of ram (or so). But it worked... and it was mine. And I was desperately happy to have it, even with the issues. Tess will always have my love for making me able to properly play Achaea without having to get into a fight with the boyfriend about the computer. Seen below is said laptop, with Melodie-doll standing nearby:
So for over a year, I played with this. It had one USB port, thus why you see the very old adapter there. Also had to use external wireless. It wasn't great, but it worked, which was more than I had had in about four years. In time we connected it remotely to the boyfriend's desktop so we shared more memory and I was able to better get into the combat scene (something I couldn't before). Still, though, it caused several issues, as even his computer was older and starting to suffer.
As of two weeks ago, all of that changed when @Kei up and decided to upgrade to a newer laptop for herself and send me her older one... older being a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8842. 4 gigs of ram, and a buttload of other things I haven't been able to enjoy in over five years. Just having sound again was strange (due to the remote desktop setup, sound was not available), but all these other features just blew my mind. It arrived 2-3 days ago, and looks more like this, with Melodie again making an appearance:
I was stunned. Not only am I going to be able to dig deeper into combat, I'm actually going to be able to play graphical games, have up a browser, and god knows what else thanks to this laptop.
So my rave? Wonderful, generous Achaeans. Without Tessa and Kei, I would have never been able to get into combat, or play reliably and thus enrich Melodie's story, or be able to do all of the things I look forward to being able to enjoy in the future.
Thank you both. You are truly amazing people, and make my life better for being apart of it.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
lul reading reddit /r/boxing shows once again that people don't know shit about boxing
that was definitely 8-4 or 9-3 mayweather, wrote that on facebook before the judging
moving forward on its own ain't scoring in boxing, neither are takedowns/ground and pound, lol.
edit: ah, just to make it clear that it's a rave - I always love mayweather fight weekends (cinco de mayo/mexican independence day), and undercard of quality fighters, quality fights.
And as he slept he dreamed a dream, and this was his dream.
A belated for those people who cheered me up here, on Skype or on Achaea when I was feeling really sucky a few days ago. It made the day and weekend very much better. Yooooooooou know who you are!
"Mummy, I'm hungry, but there's no one to eat! :C"
I've been applying for a part time job for the summer, and this morning the local animal hospital in the next town over called me to set up an interview. I'm hyped!
A friend of mine sent me chocolate from Australia, because I love Freddo Frogs... So this time she sent me a "popping candy" Freddo Frog that basically combines chocolate and pop rocks... Weirdest experience ever.

So a rave to you crazy Aussies.
Weird but so bloody awesome!

After 4 years working for the same firm, i get called into the office for an impromptu meeting. Having been made redundant 3 times in the past i was expecting the worst.
They offered me a promotion with higher salary, more potential bonus and car allowance, and the offer is on the table for a year for me to think about it. Nice.
It's voting day in South Africa - a chance to make a change for the better (and to curb this fucking ridiculous amounts of corruption from the current ruling party).
Also, was pleasantly surprised to see Google changed its Doodle to support the day

Unlike Cookie Clicker, it has a clear ending, so you'll only be trapped for a few days at most, probably.
Weird but so bloody awesome!
Windows 8.1 is surprisingly unterrible.
Back story: I live in Japan, so this isn't -that- weird.
... but I get a random FB friend request from some random girl I've never met - but she is friends with several people I know, so I accept it.
Turns into some suspicious questions, then this:
I took that picture to send to my buddy (who is also friends with her), but then accidentally sent it to her.
Turns out, she's a whore. With no appreciation for memes.
I have nothing in particular to rave about, other than being in an amazing mood right now. Lubs for every great Achaean out there right now
