Ridiculous Survey Thing

:note: Daniel playing Guitar Hero

This post is brought to you by the letter N, for new keyboard and mouse, courtesy of Daniel. :D My old one was freaking out too much for me to handle, so he got me a new one, but the layout was seriously the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Remember those old enter buttons that were sort of L shaped, but mirrored? Like _| this shape? Well, the enter key was that shape, but flipped upside down, so more of a -| shape, if you will, exactly shaped so you could in no way reach it with your pinky. It was bizarre. Also, instead of the “insert, home, page up” and “delete, end, page down” keys being in nice rows of three buttons each, they were in two columns. And the zero on the number pad was a normal key size instead of being all nice and large. It was STUPID. There was no way I’d be able to type on it. I felt bad because he was trying to be all nice, like, hey, I got you a new keyboard! Except it would have been impossible to use. And the batteries that came with it were pre-exploded in the little plastic bag.

Anyway, we returned that one today and got a nice HP one with a wireless keyboard and optical mouse. The only thing I’d say I need now, keyboard-wise, is one of those squishy gel wrist prop things. I know you’re supposed to hover your hands above the keyboard or something (that’s what I remember learning in Keyboarding 101 ages ago) but my desk is not conducive to typing like that. So I need a gel wrist rest. Heh.

Love is …
scrumtrilescent

Somewhere, someone is …
crying

I will always …
have my friends and family

Forever is …
a long time

I never want to …
look back, but I do anyway

I think the current President …
is a total imbicile.

When I woke up this morning …
it was no longer morning, and I was ridiculously tired still

Life is full of …

My past…
made me who I am today

I get annoyed when …
people talk to me when I’m in the middle of reading something

Parties are for…
someone other than me

I wish …
for too many things to list here

My dog is …
not really my dog and lives with my parents

    Do you have a picture of that keyboard? It sounds really interesting. :good: That survey was long, may I steal it? Haha, just kidding. I’m too impatient to fill that survey out. Yeah, I’m really annoyed too when someone interrupts me in the middle of my reading, especially when it’s on a climax or something exciting.

  • Meggan says:

    Oops. Sorry Paul. I was thinking maybe I had surgery, but I couldn’t think of when, but yeah. Wisdom teeth. Whoops. And that paranoid thing is just weird, I don’t really even remember putting that there. :tensed:

    Michelle: No, I don’t have a picture, though I wish I would have taken one. :P It was really, really bizarre. And feel free to take the survey if you want. :D
