April Fool's Day... SUCKS
Like hundreds of others across the globe today, I have been "Punk'd". By whom, you ask? None other than the fine folks at NationStates, to be precise! You see, for a few hours, every population in the game was shown as the starting pop, 5 million. Having just reached 500 million today, I fell for it. As did EVERY OTHER PLAYER. So, all in all, it was a great prank.
So, why does today suck? To put it simple, my computer monitor... is dying. As I type this, the screen is flickering, and the brightness is becoming less-than-bright. I've had to degauss it a good ten times in the last twenty minutes, which is not a good thing.
"Well, just get a new monitor!" The obvious answer. But, my life is far from simple. I live with my grandparents, which means a few things. Primarily, it will take a great long time to convince them to purchase a new monitor, as they will somehow try and convince me that a flickering screen is normal. Then, it will take me forever to get them to buy A GOOD ONE. The best part? I will be blamed for "breaking" it. Despite the fact that this is a monitor made by "Future Power", whom I had no idea even MADE monitors, and an old monitor at that. I've had this computer/monitor/printer/speaker combo for at least four or five years, with no changes to it whatsoever. Thus, this monitor has run its course. Yet I will still have broken it, for some unknown, unexplained reason (at least my grandmother will believe I broke it).
In short, this is a prior warning in case I am unable to use the computer for quite some time. Fortunately, I have other means of posting. So, in short, this post... IS DONE. Go now, get on with your life.
