Over the next month or so, I will be acquiring an 8x4x32 CD-RW drive, a scanner, a Thinkpad 560x laptop, and a Handspring Visor Deluxe PDA. I love having a job. Life is good.
Now if these things only attracted women...

I have a '98 Jeep Wrangler. I make between $500 - $600 a week (and I go to college full time!) Once finals are over, I will again be a bar hoppin' fool, and perhaps something will actually happen between me and Christine. I'm moving to a one-bedroom apartment in the spring. A semi-non-fiction slash semi-fiction story I wrote about 9/11 has a good chance of being published in an anthology the University of Maryland is putting together to help benefit the victims of 9/11.

For the past two years, I've had a regular CD-ROM drive, a flatbed color scanner, a Gateway Solo 2500 laptop, and mini-legal pad with mechanical pencil. I also make $225 a week and drive a '98 Saturn SL2. I hope to be sharing a cheap apartment with a friend by the start of summer.
Once finals are over, I'm going to spend some quality time updating my website, maybe paying and setting up my own domain name, and working on a series of stories dealing with either Star Trek or my experiences working in the dorms (I haven't decided which would give me the greatest satisfaction).
I've learned that nothing material attracts the right women. Material possessions only bring out the shallow little b****s who do nothing but use you for their heinous purposes and lead you on and destroy any and all spark of esteem that you might have had.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Ummm... Yep. I surely do have some issues there, Liam, my boy.

I'm just writing stuff. Trying to figure out whether or not any of my stuff is any good. Dreading things and what not.....

Omega: That 8x4x32 CD-RW drive isn't an Acer, is it? If so, just go ahead and flush your money down the toilet. It'll be as useful...

Philips. Y'all check out compuvest.com. Incredible prices on burners.

I bought a CD-RW drive - took 4 months before I used it, used it about 5 times (copied 5 CD's). I've heard that while the lower speed write drives are slow, they are more accurate and the data will not suffer from degrading as much as the others - also the quality will be better.
As for my life at the moment:
In my final year (I hope) at De Montfort University - christ what a dump. They don't give a shit about you, only your money. I've entered a writing competition (not much chance of me winning a thing mind you). Also plan to enter a few more and continue writing my novels that have been on the go for 11+ years!!!!! Well, the most recent redesign has been only 3-5 years . . .
After Uni. I plan to get a full-time job -
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And to top it all off, we might be moving house in the next few months - oh joy!
-------------------- If you cant convince them, confuse them.
I go to high school, grade 12. I make between $150-$300 bi-weekly, depending on how many hours they give me to work (Christmas bonus next pay - yay!). I'm (not so) patiently awaiting the paperwork for my 88 Ranger to get finished so I can drive it. I have a 2 year old Compaq Presario 5477 that has served me well. The printer that came with it two Christmases ago has since fried, and my scanner and burner don't work with Windows 2000 (drivers & programs for them aren't new enough). And, of course, my personal website which was supposed to chronicle my life got stalled long ago which always happens. Never bothered to work on it...

akb: I don't think that should be true. If your writer has a write speed of, say, 8x, and you use CDs that are rated for at least 8x, it should work perfectly. If not, there's probably something wrong.

My life? Well, I could make it sound good, and I suppose it certainly looks pretty good on paper, but I'd only be kidding myself. My life is shit.
