My ComputerWhy I love it, why I hate it, etc.

Okay. My computer is pretty cool. It's the first desktop I've ever owned. Previously owned computers:
-Dell Latitude D610 (hand-me-down laptop)
-Macbook Pro (also a hand-me-down laptop).

As for those, I didn't like the Dell, and I loved the Macbook. However, the Macbook wasn't compatible with a lot of the things I wanted to do, and my torrented version of Parallels didn't help much with that. So, we took the desktop in my mother's office, got her a Dell XPS laptop (it's huge!) and put the desktop in my room. It's what I use to type these posts. Here's why owning this Inspiron 545s can be a pain sometimes:

• Slim computer = low profile graphics card only
  
• low profile graphics card? have fun trying to play any game that's NOT league of legends or maplestory
  
• no place to put all my wires (the desk I own is more of a homework-desk, not a computer-desk. there's no hole in the back to put all your wires)
  
• wow there's not as many problems on this list as I thought there would be, but the first one is good enough to be 10 problems
  

so, yeah. That sucks. But, here's some awesome parts about this computer:

• it's a COMPUTER


• it's a desktop; never leaving my room ftw


• 17" Monitors are cool


• not as cool as 23" monitors :(


• over 500GB storage

I've been wanting to build my own computer for my birthday (July 3rd)... we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping to get some amazing parts, like an AMD Radeon 7850, an SSD (if I can afford one), etc.

Antisocial

So, this really popular person had a party at school. Naturally, I wasn't invited. I didn't expect to be. My friends were; that made me a bit sad. It sucks to be the guy who sits at home playing League of Legends rather than enjoying with friends. I'm kind of an extroverted geek, in my opinion. I like to go to parties, but only parties with people who have the same interests as me. That makes it kind of hard to go to parties... (/humor). The real kicker, the reason I'm sad, the reason I'm making this post, is that tonight, I looked out a window and saw the Big Dipper. No big deal, right? Well, after the party was over everyone got on facebook and talked about how the nerds at the party (not me) all showed the other people the Big Dipper in the sky. I don't know why, but as soon as I saw that I got really sad. I saw the Big Dipper, too! But I saw it at home while playing video games. Something tells me I need to be less antisocial.

MIT

This post is gonna be about MIT.
a. I'm a bit young to be worrying about college. I get that.
b. Even though I'm a bit young, MIT sounds/looks like the best place on the planet.

I want to work at Google, too. Big plans. It feels like I wanna just fast forward through high school and apply to MIT. I don't know if I would make it, and I'm trying not to get my hopes up or put all my eggs in one basket, but wow. It just seems so much more fun than other colleges. Where else to people hack their school? Where else can you walk into a room where everyone thinks the same way you do? What other school compares their applicants to hikers? I love this. Here's a video, if you don't know much about MIT:

Doesn't that look amazing? Google is the same way. It's like a version of MIT, but instead of staying until you graduate, you can stay forever. You can do what you love, and know that everyday you're making a difference. I'm smiling as I'm writing this because I'm thinking about it.

High School

Hopefully I can look back at this in high school and be like, "Wow. I was naive, but I was right about a lot of the things." I also sent an e-mail to my future self. I recommend the site Future Me, I used it to send myself a letter one year into the future. Anyways, here's a few expectations for high school that I have right now:

• I'm not gonna like Piano. I currently think it'll be a lot more fun than Cello, but I feel like I'm gonna regret it the same way I regret Cello now. Hopefully, I'll like it better.
• Computer Programming I will be easy for the first few weeks, then start to get challenging. I have some experience with Computer Programming, but we might learn some of the more technical stuff in the class. Also, I have no idea what language/languages we'll use. If it's VB.NET, I'm dropping out of the class. Hopefully, Python or C (or Java, but that's unlikely).
• Math will be better. Geometry sounds easier than Integrated Algebra. That's saying something, because Integrated Algebra is pretty easy. I like Math, it's fun.
• A few of my friends will grow apart from me. It's inevitable.
• I'll make a few new friends, as well.

The Hobbit

We're reading The Hobbit for English. Good book, I like that we're reading fantasy and not something like Pudd'nhead Wilson. High school English sounds boring; everyone talks about stuff like "Ugh I have to read (book title goes here)."

High school. I'm gonna write a looooong blog post about that.

Music.

I added music. As of right now it's only my favorite song. A couple things to know about the music that I'm gonna put on here:
-mainly dubstep
-dubstep
-wubwubwubwubwub
-very little other genre stuff
-dubstep

Testing, Testing, 1-2-3

Testing my HTML stuff right now.

This should be a paragraph, and I just used a line break, if I know my HTML properly. =/



edit: Decided to post this because my first post using HTML by myself!
