I swear my computer is dying on me and it makes me really sad - okay maybe not that sad because it means that I’ll have to build a new one, but still! Ugh! :( The other day I took all the burned music CDs I had made out of my car and brought them inside to see what was on them since I don’t have a title written on all of them. I put a CD into the cd-rom of my PC, it loaded and opened in Itunes then it locked up…I was like WTH? So I took the CD out and put it back in at this point it wouldn’t READ the CD. So I think ‘great my cd-rom is broke!’; well not completely broke since I can hear it spinning and the light still comes on, it’s just not reading CDs. I’ve searched through Google like crazy to find answers and I’ve done EVERYTHING I’ve come across, the last thing to do is to check the connecting IDE cable with a new cable to see if maybe it’s gone bad but I can’t do that until I write my marriage and family paper because I don’t want to kill my PC altogether.

On top of the cd-rom, my computer has started locking up while loading Windows XP when I turn the computer on after turning it off for the night. It’s done this maybe once or twice before, but in the last week it’s done it a few times and I can’t figure out why. I have to restart the computer when it does this and sometimes I have to restart it two or three times before it’ll load Windows. UGGGGGH! I’ve already started putting together a new computer list on Newegg and hopefully will be able to build a new one come time next semester starts for school - probably around the end of January, beginning of February. I want a laptop also but I think I’ll ask for everyone to chip in for my birthday in February to get me one of those since it’ll help me ALOT during school when I transfer - I’m picky though and really want a MacBook which is just over $1000 so I won’t settle for anything different I mean if I HAVE too, I will but that’s what I REALLY want. Either way, I’ll most likely be building a new PC within the next month or so…I need my desktop and want my desktop thus why I’m building a new one, besides I had fun building this one that I currently own and it’s almost 3 years old and a POS

I guess no one will be getting a Girard Perregaux - who makes a $65,000 watch!! - from me for Christmas with all the money I need to save and then use to replace things!
