started editing this yesterday and got distracted talking about the old web and micro center with my coworker.
i miss the internet from the early/mid 2000s. so. much. it was such a different time! i feel like it's difficult to fully explain to people who weren't there to experience it. i could go on a whole tangent about it. i really miss the sincerity of it all. i feel like self-expression wasn't as perfectly curated as it seems to be now. i enjoy browsing neocities so much for this very reason.

i am building a new PC! i went to micro center with Nick last night. i had already chosen my CPU + GPU and my sister had given me some RAM she didn't need as she upgraded hers. i let the nice worker choose the rest for me because i was overwhelmed with the amount of options and reddit is contradictory. just needed a decent, mid-tier MOBO, PSU, heatsink, and SSD. i couldn't care less about the case because nick and i plan on modifying an old one and moving everything over eventually. he ended up getting a pre-build because these prices are insane and it was actually a solid deal. i've always said it's smarter and cheaper to build yourself, but i think we're moving away from that as these prices keep going up. he's waiting to open/use it until i get all of my parts though. hopefully that will be next Saturday at* the latest. the personal computer is becoming inaccessible for the average user and it hurts to see. big tech is evil.

Bryce is coming back to Tejas in March and April. i miss him so very much. i am truly so lucky to have a friend like him.

also, it's so interesting to see that you haven't changed a bit. it makes sense though.

shout-out to the igit in a f-150 that brake checked me yesterday because they were offended i tried to pass them even though they were hoggin' up the left lane. back of your truck is probably fucked and my car is already fixed like it never even happened because the love of my life is a super sweet and talented mechanic!

anyhow, happy new year. it is a new year. yay!
