Dark & Early

I haven’t closed up my Twitter account yet. I still haven’t found a good use for it either.

I got my laptop back the other day after sending it in for repair. It was gone about two and a half weeks. The graphics card was dying a slow, painful death and taking the whole computer with it. They didn’t pack the computer very well sending it back, it was loose in the squashed cardboard box. It worked when I got it back though. They put the wrong OS on it, I don’t even know why they reformatted it. I had to reformat it again once I started it up and realized what they’d done.

I found out some things second hand at work. I’ve been disappointed to say the least, because a few people say, “It’s no big deal.” Well, it is to me. It’s like I’m there because when something needs to get done, I do it, but when it comes to planning or other decisions I feel left out.

I beat Starcraft II on normal mode. Trying hard mode now, and unfortunately, most missions have turned into suicide missions now. I guess that’s why it’s hard mode. Once I beat it, I’ll turn it up to brutal and there will be much swearing and mumbling.

My warlock in World of Warcraft is up to 77, almost 78. I got her cold weather flying so she’s not grounded in the north country. Her DPS output is still a bit lower than I’d like, but it’s not downright awful like my rogue.

I finally gave in and signed up for Twitter. Not my thing, but if you can’t beat them, join them.

There are some people I want to follow over there, so I decided to bite the bullet and sign up.  I don’t expect I’ll be posting there much.

In other news, I got word that my laptop that has been gone for 2.5 weeks has been repaired, boxed, and is ready to ship back.  I hope it arrives in better shape then when it left me.

I am going to admit that I am a bit conflicted about self-esteem. I have been for some time. Ages ago I was talking to a friend who happened to be a minister about my lack of self-esteem. Poor self-esteem happens when you grow up in a house when your mom tells you that you’re stupid, won’t amount to anything, etc.

Anyway, back on track. My friend told me that if I am a good Christian, I don’t want or need good self-esteem. He said since I am a sinner, I don’t deserve to feel good about myself, and that personal pride even in the form of positive self-esteem is terrible, and sinful.

What are your thoughts?
