I had to get that depressing journal off my front page

my mood has been swinging from obnoxiously cheerful to ridiculously depressed these last few days (or has it been weeks? I can't even tell any more)
I won't bore you with the details, but it's starting to really get on my nerves / scare me, and I don't know what to do about it.

I think there may be something wrong with me....

if you can get a screenshot of my 33,333rd pageview, and Note it to me,
I'll doodle you a little something...

Hit 30k pageviews today, omg! So thanks for all the browsin' folks


In other news....
schoolwork is keeping me crazy-busy/stressed-out!
yaaaayy.....

but enough of that
I must return to the Labs!!!
*dons cape and flies back to work*

woooooosh

So I have a decision to make....

My gaming PC is about to die, and I'm not sure if I should try to salvage it and patch it up for a while with new parts, or if I should just go ahead and finally get an Xbox 360 since the price went down (don't tell me to get a PS3 or Wii - there aren't enough games I want for those systems).

The thing is, if I update my computer, I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it running because I'm actually not sure of its real age (it was a gift), and I don't know enough about keeping drivers and virus-software up to date.
So there's a big gamble. I would probably be better off just buying a whole new tower and software/hardware with warranties and tech-support and all that.

On the other hand, if I get an Xbox, I'll have to get a newer tv to go with it, or it just won't be worth it (no point in playing games so blurry you can't see what's going on)...
Then there's the dilemma of loosing access to my PC-only games, like Dreamfall, City of Heroes, and Champions (for now at least).

Gah.

I'll have to consult with my brother before I make any final choice...
