Title: No, I'm not dead! (Just "mostly" dead)
Post by: James StarRunner on December 11, 2006, 01:24:44 AM
10 points if you get the reference.

Anyways, I've been kinda missing in action for... too long. I've been sick, my computer's been sicker, and our cable modem was ressurected from a violent and gory death. I still don't understand why or how it's working now, but it is. I probably won't be fully back until finals are done. I'm not dead or in the hospital, but I am worn out and zombie-like. Just a heads up for those worried about me.

Thanks for dropping by... hope it works out.

"mostly" head means still partly alive...

.. he said "to blave", which as we all know, means to bluff! So he was probably playing cards, and...

Well, everyone who knew it was Princess Bride gets the 10 points. Zedd gets 2 points since Monty Python is still cool.

Well, the modem is dead... again. Likely for good. Still don't know how I got on last night. Now I'm in between exams typing this on one of the school's machines. So, looks like we'll have to invest in a new cable modem. After this semester I'll have to replace a few of my computer's parts too. Fun stuff.

I think I need a hug. Wait a sec... *checks PM's* It looks like HaZ gave me a random huggle already. Thanks for the concern everyone, it's good to be missed.

Hmm... If the prefix "un" means "not" or "contrary to", does that make me an undead?

Fezzik? Jog his memory.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to jog it so hard...

"nondead" I'd say. "undead" is a slightly different category, mostly through popular usage corrupting the base english...

Well, modem fell apart completely after I posted my last message here, but we've recently got it replaced (finally). Heh, perfect timing too since I'm going home for the holidays in a couple days. Computer's still not doing well though. I think I did some damage to it the last time I tried running Second Life. Hopefully I'll get some new parts for Christmas. If not, I'll have to buy them or else I'll have a heck of a time trying to run programs like my photoshop.

Thanks for all the concern and welcome back! Hopefully nothing else desides to explode on me, otherwise my head will.
