I have Monitor Envy

crossover_chick-D:. . . I'm not touching that one.-
:) My parents just bought a new computer for downstairs, since I decided that I wanted to keep this baby. Thing is, it has a huge monitor. The one that came with our VAIO now looks a bit dinky. *laugh* Dad actually offered to get me a new monitor before buying the new 'puter, but I didn't realize what it would look like. The new one looks like a TV.
-VD: Does it really matter what monitor you have?-
It would be nice to play Sims with that sort of monitor. Maybe it'll shut Mom and Dad up too. For some reason, they don't like the fact I chose to keep the old computer rather than buy a new one. I don't know what's with the guilt, I like this computer. It has all my stuff on it, and fulfills my needs. This is what I do on this thing:
A) Surf the web
B) IM friends
C) Write stories
D) Play Sims (and sometimes other games)
I don't need a whole new computer.
-VD: I can see the logic of that. Still not sure on the monitor thing.-
Do you not see the monitor behind you?
-VD: *turning* I haven't -- *drool*-
What did I tell you?
Speaking of Sims, I'll do my best to get Castle House pics today. I didn't play for long yesterday -- Mom and Dad were setting up the new computer, and my stupid MSN Messenger kept signing itself back on! *sigh* It goes off randomly, it comes on randomly -- luckily I have a way to beat that, I can just exit from MSN Messenger before putting on my Sims. According to the message I got yesterday, it'll come back when I go back on the web. :) I did notice that I got a pretty new crystal in my yard.
-D: Another one?! You're going to get all the crystal abilities before you get to Magic Town!-
Maybe, but that's okay. Madison will be able to learn from the ones I get on the new lot. Plus they're very pretty and act as lamps. Their current house has a black one (Extinguish), a green one (Spook), a white one (Levitate), a red one (Hot Foot), and now a blue one (Hand Buzzer). The nice thing is that they'll stay when I move the family out (since it isn't an eviction, per say), so the new family for that lot, our Spenglers from the Ghostbusters, might be able to use them. *fingers crossed*
-VD2: Oh, Egon's moving into the neigborhood?-
It's my most magical, I figure he belongs there. He's coming with Janine (or Jeanine). I'm also going to break my "no dead Sims" record by moving in a Dummy Sim before hand and killing him on lot to have a ghost.
-VD: *shaking head indulgently* I guess that makes sense.-
Hey, they're Ghostbusters! They need a ghost!
-J: Am I a Superstar yet?-
Didn't get to send you to Studio Town yesterday, so we'll have to see today.
Setback on the fan fiction front. A couple of days ago, I got a disgusting review. Somebody complimented me, then asked me to WRITE MORE SLASH.
-VD2: Who do I kill?-
Already been taken care of. I deleted the review, then told the person (pretty politely in the fact I didn't swear) that they had insulted me horribly and that I did not want to hear from them again. (To anyone who says I overreacted -- I was disgusted and the person did seem to acknowledge my e-mail in a way that said they didn't care that much about it.)
I DO NOT WRITE SLASH. Any tolerance I had for it was pretty much destroyed with the Marty/George fics. I acknowledge some people do like that stuff, but for Newton's sake, don't accuse me of writing it! (Or if you must, FLAME me for it. I prefer the negative comments I got for "Ich Liebe Dich" to this.) As a result, I've been kinda lazy on the typing front -- I don't write well if I'm too emotional. I'm feeling better about it now, so maybe I can get things back on track.
-VD: You'd better, I can see you're almost done with "Judgement Day."-
*sticks out tongue*
