Look at the purty icon! X3 **strokes it.** Aubrie made this one.
Finally my computer has recognized the modem! I was certain that the problem was actually inside the computer and that it had jostled the modem temporarily out of place, and it seems I was right. ^^ **pets computer for finally behaving!** So at last I am online in the new home.
I have half my room fixed now. We took my bunk beds apart and I'm using one while the other will be for all my plushies. I have yet to set up the second one. It was supposed to go in the corner, but I think I'd have more room if I put it where my CD and DVD bookcase is right now. XD; Blaaah. I know I shouldn't have set things up on it, but I wanted so badly to get something in order and to see how my CDs would look on a shelf.
My computer is on a desk under the window. It's not the same thing I used at the old house, and my monitor, hard drive, and keyboard barely fit. XD; Well, the mouse too, and I don't have room for a mousepad. The speakers sit on top of the hard drive, and my headphones rest in one of the desk drawers when I'm not using them. I commandeered Grandma's old phone to use (my grandma on my mom's side, not the one who just died), and it's up there too. I'm still trying to sort out where the printer will go.
Our house is on the next block over from the city cemetery. XD On Thursday I took a walk around the block and crossed to the cemetery to walk through it. It's a really quiet, serene place. Stacey, you're going to love it! ^^ You can even see some tombstones from the kitchen window, the deck, and the back bedroom. XD;
It felt really good to take that walk, too. I wouldn't have felt safe enough to do that in the old neighborhood.
And I have taken possession of the old TV, DVD player, and VCR, and set them on the rolling table that my manga used to be on. ^^ There's another working VCR that can be used in the living room, and we got a new TV and DVD player for there. It's a lot of fun to just sit on the end of my bed and use the headphone jack in the TV to watch stuff. I've been watching a lot of Monkees episodes like that.
And speaking of The Monkees, here's part of my essay. Right now it's mostly comparing differences in Micky's character in the two seasons, with a bit of a mention of Peter.
( Season 2's Flubs )
