Yay! I'm back! Not in Provo, mind you, but online. Was I ever not online? Yes. I've spent the last six or so hours backing up all my data, making a list of all the software I need (and where to get it), reformatting my computer, and reinstalling the needed software. My computer runs oh-so-much-more-nicely now. Yay!

Welcome back. :)

Gah! Nobody speaketh! What's up?

Well, I'm actually back in Provo now. It was nice to see some family again, but I'm really glad to be back.

Did you get the keys to your car back? Sorry I didn't put gas in your car. I ran out of time and money. I'll pay you when I get back to Provo. Thank you for letting me borrow your car, btw. I can't tell you how much fun it was to have a little bit of freedom to move. :)

What did you get for Christmas this year, Shaun?

Well, I lost ALL OF MY PICTURES! NOOOO! *sob* I just noticed that somehow my pictures folder eluded backup before I sent my laptop in for repair. I am uber sad now. Some of them might be irreplaceable.

As for what I got, mostly gift certificates. And...a mousepad-calculator-telephone from Mom. It's...useless. It's the thought that counts, but it is useless.

On a new and completely bizarre note...while hooking up my camera to see if there were any salvageable pictures left on it...I have discovered I can now take pictures again. My camera appears to be fully functional once more! I'm...confused. Happy...but confused.

You realize this means all of you are getting your picture taken, no matter what. I have been without camera for too long to not take advantage of this.

Gah. A pox on cameras.
