So long old friend... and commissions
16 years ago
So I've just given away an old friend that I've had for nearly three years. What was this friend? My first real gaming computer. I got it back in '06 for my birthday, and while only a few parts are still original (case, a fan, the DVD-ROM drive, the HDD, maybe one or two other things) it's still hard giving it up. Nearly all my current friends where made while I was on that computer. Most of the games I really enjoyed I played on that computer. Most of the stuff I know about computers I learned from messing with that computer... but now it's time to give it away.
Where is it going you might ask? It's actually not going far, just into the next room in fact. I'm giving it, or rather I'm getting $400 to give it, to my little cousin as an early(very early) birthday present from my grandparents(and me I guess. The computer really is worth $450, so I'm giving him $50 in computer from me.). They'll also likely give me $100-$200 to help me get a new computer for myself, and I'll likely throw in another $100 or so to splurge on a few things to replace it... Will the new computer be just as good as the old? Better, a good deal better. Will I make just as many memories as I did with the old? Most definitely. Will I look at it nearly everyday I go through the other room into mine? Probably.
It's funny how we can place such an emotional attachment to something not alive sometimes..
Anyway... enough of the little sad thing there. I'm taking commissions! Both to build a computer and to write stories!
Stories are just $5 + $1 per page. (So a One page story costs $6.)
Computers can be made fairly cheaply too! Only $500 + shipping and handling can get you a very nice gaming computer.
So if you're interested in either type of commission just drop me a note! :3
