that's what we do in Summer
honestly, snow is not that bad and we are far more well equipped than our Us neighbours
As long as you are dressed accordingly, playing outside is fun
I've been skiing a few times and that's pretty fun, and iceskating is fun. But just snow, everywhere?! It seems like such a hassle. I saw pictures of people opening their doors and there's another door, made out of snow, blocking them in

that was mine snowshoeing is pretty fun. Like walking with clown shoes.
Snow is fun for about as long as it takes to build an eight foot tall snowman. Then it's time to go inside with tequila, a fireplace and a beautiful woman.
Can you tell I live south of I-10? There's a reason for that!

I think I'd rather have the snow instead of spiders that can jump into the air and eat flying things.
Work shoot, now there is an interesting thing to imagine.

You know what I bought today? A desk, the sims 3, the sims 3 pets, the sims 3 Katy perry, Chinese takeaway, a mountain bike, peanut butter fudge, bread, sugar, and two giant bottles of water. You know what I didn't buy? A new plain black work shirt. Sorry new boss! I'm excited for my new computer!

All that precious money spent on things to keep you on the wrong continent. Save! Don't spend!

Did you decide on a computer?
I'm getting it custom built. Case, power supply, Gigabyte motherboard, FX-4100 AMD quad core, 8GB (don't scrimp on RAM), 2GB GTX650, 1TB HDD, Card Reader, DVDRW and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit. All installed, all the programs, warranty covers all labour unconditionally for a year, which of course means Viruses, Spyware, user error, etc. Total cost $800 and my boyfriend put forward $150 for valentines day, so I'm spending $650.

Wish you could afford a SSD boot drive, but it is a very good start.
You already have a monitor available I hope... and got a good deal on the mountain bike
I don't even know what a SSD boot drive is I'll be using my tv screen for a computer screen until I can buy a nice one.
The bike I ended up buying him was a DiamondBack or something.. I gave him a hundred and he paid the remaining 75 and I drove him there and back to pick it up. (stupidly far away, two and a half hours each direction.)

All my change is now going towards 'Merica!
Actually Mary, Benjamin Franklin, who is one of the founding fathers of America, hated the idea of an eagle to represent our nation. If he had his way, we would have used the turkey instead!

Wow, that IS a long way for the bike!! If he is happy, that is what counts.
An SSD is a "solid state drive" that basically uses flash memory like you'd find in your ipad or in camera memory cards.. no moving parts and they move data in and out much faster, so they are often used for installing the OS and Programs onto so they launch faster, way faster than a traditional hard drive. Unfortunately, they cost a minimum of about $100 for that part alone. (What I have in mine is normally about $450 but I got on sale at $233)

^^ hot damn.
Well I'm currently playing Skyrim after playing Amnesia for the past two hours. I need a few snowy mountains to take my mind away from mutated creatures seeking my flesh.
