Acro can has new laptop computer! :D

I got to keep the scanner-printer in my room, so that's good too. but in the act of transferring all my files / applications / bookmarked pages onto the laptop from the shared computer, I lost the movies I had saved to the computer. so I'm a little sad about that. I'm also having difficulties re-installing Yahoo! Messenger and getting it up and running successfully, and I had a brief panic attack while transferring Photoshop CS2 from the old computer to the lappy and I missed a step or something [which has since been worked out]. but other than that, things are just smashing.

and hey, Where the Wild Things Are comes out next Friday! I'm excited and I love watching the trailers but if anyone else is around I have to leave the room until the trailer ends, because if I watch it I freaking cry. not just a few tears leaking from the corner of my eye, but full-on face-twisting, difficulty-breathing crying. it doesn't matter how many times I've seen said commercial, it gets to me every time - I empathize far too much with idea of a little human who is close friends with big scary monsters who turn out to be some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. and not only would it be weird for me to be crying from watching a a movie trailer that has nothing really worth crying over, but everyone in real life knows me as the girl with ice running through her veins that didn't bat an eye when she read Where the Red Fern Grows or when she watched Grave of the Fireflies, among other things, and actually go as far as to find the sad / cry-over parts in movies or books annoying.

..okay that's all. tl;dr - I got a new laptop. yay.
