More from the world of no World of Warcraft
Alright! Ive had enough of my boring evening of doing nothing. Somone with WoW working on there pc needs to bring theres over to my house. I need/want to play it, but I cant do that without going to eden and continuing to add to the money it costs to play it.

The way the game installs is with these MPQ files. Theyre overly stuffed onto the discs and hold thousands of code lines for entire sections of the game. 1 corrupt or badly read file and boom! No more WoW. Ive been reading through hundreds of pages about hundreds of similar errors. I would like to make use of there ways to fix it, but thats not possible. Because of my personal pre-exsisting problems on my computer, I cant run some of these programs. My computer would close it, or simply give me a blue screen with some error.

The only time I got to play WoW on my pc was from taking it to eden and putting it on the D:\ drive. That lasted for all of a week or so. My brother deleted it, not looking into it or not bothering to check, and now Im WoW-less. While it was on my computer, I wasnt without errors coming up the whazoo. Entire territories wouldnt run on it, only 2 that I actually knew of.

Getting back to the thousands of other peoples run-arounds on the errors. They all seemed to list the base files that were bad on my install. sound.MPQ or terrain.MPQ After these base names they gave long strings of numbers and letters, parts of these MPQ mass files. Somehow all these people have all managed to install the game, I never got that far. Every post I saw was of a character thats well over any I have.

I just want to play the game I like without it costing me an arm and a leg to play. The technical mumbo-jumbo is slaughtering me, the error check things they want me to run I cant touch because of the mumbo-jumbo, and the replacement of parts or other pc's I cant do.

Who can help me? Fix my woes of WoW! A world without WoW is a world with boring nights of nothing to do.

SO. I was looking around my garage to find out what the dog was chewing on that could turn fur blue. I found a bottle of Southern Comfort. No blue substance.

Senior All-nighter: $100
Estimated Prom Price: $150 (After Tux)
Monthly Payment for WoW: $30 (2 Months)
Things for Car $$$ (Tires, winsheild whipers, oil change)

Bank account holdings: $2.47

Seems like theres a problem here for me. I cant spend a penny more than I need to. I doubt that Ill be buying my new car or computer this summer. I need to go sign up for the MEAP retesting. If I have to take it all over again, Ill be pissed. The MEAP tests are so stupid. Im not sure If Im going to go to prom or the senior all-nighter at this point. Why? Because I dont have the money. If I wanted to go to the all-nighter then I should be paying by the 15th. I wont be able to do that, so Ive got some thinking to do. I definatly know I need to get new tired and all that other stuff on my car; maybe even somenew brake pads too.

Alothough I could tell myself not to go to eden, because that cost money, Ill probably end up going now and then. My hopes are that it wont be too costly.

I wont be going anywhere special or doing anything special for anytime until summer. Even then, I doubt I could. I need to be working and getting those hours in. I should talk to my sister next time she comes home about working at Whitecaps. That should take a week or so, because she lived out of her car like a pack rat. Only coming home to get new clothes or a shower. Otherwise shes off with her friends, doing who knows what.

If I dont work whitecaps then I need to find another job. Something 9-5 for 5 days a week would be nice, too bad theres alot of people without jobs, and I wouldnt get any sort of job like that. If I did find something like that, I would be on it in a heart beat.

The College plan for me is to start second semester at GRCC. I havent applied yet, still. I should do that.

As far as life after college and High school goes, I definatly know I want to move away. Go somewhere more in touch with the world. That means somewhere with a good technology buzz. California, Texas, New York, Georgia; somewhere.

So Im sitting her playing some classic call of duty. Yeah, it no fun without the expansion. Oh well. Since my sound doesnt work the game is twice as hard. Every second not looking behind me is another death. I mean I have to give them the first hit, so I know that someone is there. It makes me realize how a deaf person would be cannon fodder in a real war. I need a new sound card.

I say screw it. Buy a new PC this summer with money I make. Maybe get my graduation money together and some cash I make working to buy a new car. Mines running really rough on the shocks. The backdoors are either not working or have child locks on, which I dont think my car has. The trunk never looks closed. The head lights are points to the sides and upwards. I need new winshield whippers, mine leave a huge blind spot in the middle.

Suckorz.

Okay so Ive been using Windows Media player to stream music for along time now. The database has been reset and theres alot more music this time around. Why? Well a new site came out with free streams. cdzlimited.org It good for school. When Im working I can play pretty much any song I know.

Good beats, in a boring world.

In other news Mrs. Hansen blocked Andy's wrap around link to woohu. So again, we lack the woohu spirit at school.

I sat in 3rd hour Stat's class today. As usual Mr. Andrud plays some music, no big deal. Till this song by some country singer comes on. Im going to guess this song is called "Have you forgotten?" All this guy does is say stuff about Bin Laden being evil. Now I can understand how people mess the facts up, but this guy was going on and on about it like Bin Laden personally attacked the World Trade Center Towers. Honestly!? It wasnt him, it was his extremist lackeys. Also another part of it was about how apparently Iraq seemed to also attack us. They didnt! They supplied the lackey extremists.

Then later in the day the I was flipping channels. I see something about Legislation to beef up the Homeland security. Why? I dont see bombs exploding all over. Anyone else see it? They show clips of the Head of the CIA and FBI; these guys read off a paper, they most likely are reading for the first time, and they say crap about putting Counter Terrorist Agents in the places like North Korea and all the other "threats to America." Honestly, it seems all the media can do is tell us dribble stories about our soldiers not comign home, human bombs blowing up on the other side of the world, and the need to put cops on every street corner. Its almost as if Big Brother is moving in on us.

I guess the point Im trying to get at is the pro American way. Its become this message about "stopping terrorism" by attacking any country with an anti-American way of things. Dont get me wrong, I love The Bill of Rights, The Constitution, and Democracy. but is it worth putting American troops in every country? Do we need to start fights with an exucse of "they were trying to buy weapons of mass destruction!" I say no. We tried it, it didnt work, lets move on. There is other things in this world besides war.

Now Im sure that someone will disagree with something Ive wrote here. Honestly, if I actually took the time to read what I just put, I might find a better way to state it, too damned bad. I hate that song, I hate the pro-war/democratic system for all, big brother breathing down you neck attitude. End of story.

Lil'update
Most heartily I think Im going to officially make Fridays my days. No work. Just a trip down to the eDen. I went Saturday this week, and that sucked, alot. All I saw was a bunch of little kiddie cannon fodder. And they all played DDR. BAH! Thats the worst thing ever. Later on good ool' Mike showed up. I havent seen him in along time. Its good to know that old friends dont just fall off the ends of the earth.

Tuesday is the start of the CoD: UO FFA Tounry. I hope to anihilate all those playing at eDen, unless its a fellow RoF. My predictions: a. I get owned like no other b. I slaughter all in my path. c. work over the nubs & be cannon fodder for the elites.

So who went to Swirl? I know I didnt.

Also Happy birthday Liz.

1st Hour Sub
Well its First hour Management & Support 2. Normally I dont mind this boring dribble. But Today we have a sub. And this is that sub everyone hates. Shes a complete control freak and cannot seem to allow any independent actions.

The whole hour she spent her time walking around the room, standing over our shoulders. If we did anything besides read or type in MS Word, she would kinda flip out." What does that have to do with what you "should" be doing?"

Go AWAY! I hate this sub...bah...
