I figured it was time enough for another entry. Not a real great reason, but still...

My computer is annoying me. We brought it into Best Buy on thursday. 360 dollars and two new antivirus programs later, we got it back. Iwas happy. I could open up internet explorer the first time and not sixteen tries later. My Msn worked perfectly and there was a propsperous time filled with joy and much love. Then yesterday, it broke. Died. Went belly up, whatever you want to say. I come home from a twelve hour day at school and my moms pulling on her hair. She points to the computer screen, throws the instruction book for the computer on the desk, growls and walks into her room to read a book, or beat a pillow. Either way what she said to me with those actions was 'The computer is broken. This book doesn't have enough pictures for me to understand, I'm pissed. You fix it.'

Mom seems to think I know all about computators because I spend so much time on them. True, I know more about them then the rest of my family does, but I know diddley squat about anything that I haven't really done before. Fixing a screwed up computer after mom had tried everything was out of my league. So I sat there and ran all of our virus scans and spyware attackers. They all froze. I did a system recovery. Nothing happened. I tried to refresh the computer back two days. It didn't work.

Now I was frustrated, because I hate not knowing something. Like math. Usually it just flows into my brain real easy, but when it doesn't, I get frustrated and childish. I want to throw a book or break something. Anyways so I couldn't get it to work and was about to unplug the computer for a third time when Mom walked in all calm like. I looked like some mad scientist working in a dungeon. I didn't have the lights turned on, my hair was pulled out of my pionytail in whisps, and I was clenching my fists and teeth. She took one look at me and told me to get off and go downstairs. So I did; I went and played Fable onmy brother x-box because I understood that, and I felt like kicking some chickens. Mom went and tries to refresh the scomputer too, and an hour later my brother came home. Mom was still calm like and Ian knew ther computer was dead.
"Wow mom, your sure taking this easily." <-- Thats what he said.
"I'm not." <-- She said that like someone says something when they are really mad, all quiet and calm. she turned off the computer and told him that she was going to pay for the repairs this time.

In conclusion:
Best buy + $360 = Clean computer + New software.
Computer = broken
Mom = Mad
AJ = Frustrated
Ian = Laying low for a week
