Yeah, it’s kind of early for this considering I have no idea if I’ll be able to afford anything of the sort… but, which do you like better? This nice, L-shaped metal/tempered glass desk, or this nice, corner “two sided” wood desk.
Or, if you have another suggestion… I just want a big (but under $250 if possible) desk (preferably metal over wood) that can hold two computers/monitors (one LCD, one CRT… unless someone wants to give me their spare KVM switch…), and still have room for bills, etc. What I don’t want is a tall, hutch-style desk. I have nothing to put in those, and they’re too tall for my room (seven foot ceilings). The area it will go into is about 70W x 65D x 70H inches. Yes, I know the wood one is 83.5W inches… but I’ll figure something out.
Help a guy out.

Can You Hear Me Now?

It’s been so long since I’ve posted anything that my administration page wasn’t even in my address list anymore.
That’s a long time.
So, Nikki’s back home. I, well, a few people convinced her that going home would be best. So, I drove her home, and met her parents. They apparently like me. I’m not sure I quite understand. Her mom’s lightening up a little bit, and I’m not sure her dad was ever mad at her. She got back my necklace and the first present I bought her from her mom, so things are looking good for her, which is, you know, good.
I’m starting school soon. Not really too thrilled with the idea. Though, it seems I’ll make a profit going to college. I’m not quite sure how much yet, but it’s at least $1,200. On my award letter they also had “work study” which was like $2,200, but I don’t know anything about that. If I get that back too it’d be $3,400… which would be awesome. Either way, I’m building a new computer. And I’m getting this. I don’t give a shit how expensive it is, I want it. I’ve wanted one forever, and I’d like to reclaim my desk, thank you very much. But anyway, at least $1,200 and a new computer, which is, you know, good.
One of my old friends has gotten in contact with me. We’re not nearly as close as we used to be, and I don’t think we’ll ever be, but talking to someone that I haven’t heard from in a long time is, you know, good.
Life is going well right now, which is, you know, good.
