And most likely Barcelona.

<3

I'd really love to go back to that city.

I personally prefer avast! just because AVG finds Trojans in my game discs. But Norton sucks. HORRIBLY. I should know. It's my last name.
Maybe there are. Sony has been known to put rootkits in music CDs.

Anyway, people should use a real OS that doesn't need virus scanners. :)

Another reason why I don't buy CDs. :x

Yeah, but just because something is technically defined as a rootkit doesn't mean it's something you don't want on your PC.

And I'm not prepared to give up a reasonable number of applications that I use from working just so viruses won't work either. May be tempting fate somewhat, but I've not had trouble with them in years.
It doesn't take a different OS to not get viruses. It just takes a bit of internet-smarts and some simple applications to not pick them up.

That's a lameass reason. You can just as easily pick up viruses in torrents and downloads, and they've not put those sorts of things in CD's for years.

I know. :P
I don't mostly because I can't find explicit versions of my favorite music without traveling an hour away.

Well, maybe I'm a security freak, but I don't really want something messing with Windows kernel or access privileges unless I put it there.

Windows' popularity is in large part the reason for its wide variety of both applications and attackers. But yeah, it just takes a bit of common sense.

You got dumped? I thought the possibility was for it to be the other way around...

Well, I guess she beat me to it, then! Though that original possibility faded really quickly.

I burned my hand in about four separate places a few days ago as I was straightening my hair, and got some really big blisters. They've been bandaged up since, and it makes my hand dry and so itchy.
Like right now. It itches so fucking badly, omg. But I can't scratch it. ;_;

Aaaaaaah I can't master a third character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl! D: None of them have the natural feel that the Ice Climbers and Peach have.

The new characters have such miscellaneous moves that don't correspond with the standard martial arts moves that the two I play as have (even though the I.Climbers use hammers). I tried practicing with Meta Knight but his moves are just so.....ugh I can't polish them.

I cannot fucking pull off back half-circle forwards in Guilty Gear, which the majority of Supers require. I blame the small D pads on classic controllers and my poor fine motor skills. :( Sean keeps slaughtering me because it.

One of my friends on brawl just beat my Sonic twice in a row with Zelda, and I have no excuse.  I normally lose about 1/5 matches vs her :X.

Nines, I know what that's like. :(
Haven't played Brawl since four days after it was released though, I dunno why but it got boring. :x

Tina, I freaking hate that so much, I have burn marks all over my shoulders and back from my curling iron.  What is it about hair irons that make them so painful?  I feel your misery! ;-;

I have to go to Washington for a funeral of some dead guy I've never met.  I['m not happy, I honestly don't want to be pointlessly depressed during Spring Break.  And I hate that state so much, all it does is rains! 

I'm still angry at Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for being such an abomination.  >:(

Hence why you should come to Vancouver. All it does here is rain, but at least there's people to see that are alive. :)

Zelda should be good for you or Shiek.

If you want rain, but don't want to go to a rainforest, Manchester is the real place to be.

It's been getting colder all this week. It was sunny and warm on Monday, drizzling and windy yesterday. Stupid spring weather. >_>
