I decided last week to reformat my laptop. The reason being that it came preinstalled with much useless shit that I should've removed when I first got it but I was too excited and eager about having a laptop that I ignored the software. I mean really, what could it do?

However I was quite wrong since most of the preinstalled stuff ended up being drivers and crap and other stuff that wasn't even designed for my laptop, eliciting the question of why it was all there to begin with.

But I didn't know all of this at first. At first I was a mad installing machine, loading all of the programs and such that I've grown to love and adore. I was estatic. My own laptop, my first computer bought and paid-for with my own money. Nothing could ruin my joy.

Until for no reason whatsoever my computer began the unbelievably annoying practice of rebooting without clear justification. I was perturbed. Brand new computers should not do this.

After a few days of not being able to nail down what the problem was exactly I just gave up and finished installing everything. The reboot problem, annoying as it was, became something I learned to deal with.

Until it interfered with my playing of computer games.

Then it was payback, bitch.

I bought this new computer game some weeks ago and upon installing it discovered that for no reason it just wasn't going to run. This was the last straw. I decided to format figuring a fresh start would take care of a lot of problems if not all of them.

I ended up getting pretty lucky because everything's been fixed.

That wasn't the point of this entry.

The point of it was that I had to reload my iTunes library and reestablish permission for the songs in it that had come from the iTunes music store. Most of these songs were purchased by me but a handful of them were given to me by other people, mostly boys/ex-tricks who I haven't spoken to in a long time. So I had to send out a few emails asking for passwords again. I guess I am a pretty rotten person because they all replied with them; if it'd been me I probably would've written back something rude and snippy.

That's it.
