No, For Srs.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
The fan is still having problems. Turns out I wasn't having HDD problems at all.
Go figure.
I got a 188 of 200 on my college essay in AP Lit, which classifies it as "college-ready". Awesome.
I've also gotten an e-mail, although I suspect that it's a spam bot, regarding my blog here. Makes me think about advertising this sucker a little more.
But yes, it's the fan. Seriously.
Rise of Nations is my latest game, as can be seen by the image at right.
ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH.
Or however it goes.

Intermittent Outbursts, and other Strange Happenings.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
My dad and I seems to have fixed the issue, somehow. My HDD's are still very loud at times, but seem to be quieting down. If I drop the system into standby and quickly pull it back out, I can usually get it to a point where it won't make any noise at all -- just like before.
But it's still loud at times.
Anyway, I lost my calculator today, and didn't notice until I was half-way through an essay for AP Lit, of all things. It being timed, I hurriedly finished up, and panicked. I spent the better part of the day wondering where it was, and checking all over my AP Chem class. I finally was informed of its whereabouts by an acquaintance of mine, and I was able to recover it by the end of the day.
Seriously though -- I'm not that nerdy. I was worried about it simply because I was afraid of what my parents would do -- this has happened before, and I was told off pretty harshly.
I try, I really do.
I think I'm afraid of my parents in some respect. Oh well. They have taught me well.

It's Loud in Here.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
My hard drive is on speed. I'm working on fixing it.
That is all.

Launch.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
Big news tonight, I've expanded.
No, not in that sense.
I've launched my next blog, Dropped Packets. As was stated last night, I'll still be keeping this one alive and well, no need to worry. Dropped Packets are just for simple musings and streams of consciousness.
Here's the link: http://dropped-packets.blogspot.com/
Feel free to drop a comment or follow it if you feel inclined to do so. I'll also respond to comments, so just drop me a line and I'll gladly reply!

Coming Soon?
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
Well, I'm starting another blog. I'm still keeping this one, not to worry. I/O Nightly will be my main one, but I will be starting that one as a slightly more intelligent version of Twitter. I refuse to be a Twit, as Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten so lightly put it. Hats off to him for coming up with, or at least publishing, the term.
The name? Dropped Packets. A short-and-sweet, clear-and-concise version of whatever I feel like saying or doing. Sure, I'll have to log in, but I'm hoping to make it a much more clear and entertaining version of Twitter.
Or at least not as...Twitchy.
I may also be putting up another blog, Installations Weekly (or, more simply, The Installer), where I'll possibly be putting up video game reviews on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
These are new and exciting times, so, again, in the words of Deckard Cain, as I so humbly put them forth on July 22nd, "Stay a while and listen!"
Lead on, Freeman, lead on.

Your Fault?
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
For some time now, a friend and I have been on non-speaking terms for no real reason -- we simply dislike each other. He moved in on what I had going with my social group and after-school stuff, and I didn't like that.
Now I'm one-upping him in places such as AP Lit, Church, and in some cases, friends. He doesn't like that.
I've always been jealous of his possessions, although I've gotten better at this in recent years. He's always been jealous of what I'm simply doing, so he follows suit, and then tries to get the better of me.
And we've been friends since the third grade.
But whose fault is this really? All the lies, the missed calls, the uncaring attitudes, the competition? Ours?
I don't think so. I personally think it's my parents' fault, and his parents' fault. They're extremely competitive themselves, trying to get the best of even the neighbors, and my family, (mainly my mother, who got it from my grandmother) likes to talk smack about people, whether they be well-intentioned or not.
Who put these lies in our heads to make us hate each other? Who has carried out these falsehoods to destroy our friendship?
It does remind me of the ever-raging Sarah Kerrigan debate in the Starcraft community. Who created the Queen of Blades? The man who left her to die? The man who couldn't save her? Or the Confederacy, making her into a psionics-powered killing machine?
Who's responsible? Who's the one to blame? It's whose fault?
I played the kid in the blue last spring during the school musical, by the way.
