I have a great idea for you then... Go away again for another 6 years =)
And yes, I'm soooo pathetic because I spent twenty minutes on freewebs.com talking about computer issues and saying you should donate. Very pathetic of me. No really, it's pathetic! It's pathetic of me to try and gather money so I can have a PC for college and to play games. Because I'm the first person in the history of mankind who has tried to do silly things to gather money! Yep that's me alright! It's funny how posts by people who are a complete arse can actually lighten your day, really is.

I didn't expect anything less. Though I was at least expecting it to turn on. Well, not really. There was a light of hope! But the hope has failed me =( Ahhh sad day. If I could at least get it turned on to use Microsoft Word then it's all good.
Quote: "You made a website that asks people to give you the means to buy a new PC."
If it works, then guess what? I just got a computer. If not, then where am I? Oh yeah, same exact place as before. I had an idea that took me twenty minutes... Did I lose anything? Yes, I lost one round of Killing Floor. Unfortunately I did quit on wave 11, so I did lose a round of the Patriarch, but I think I can kill him any day. Did I gain anything? Probably not, but was it worth a shot? Of course. I'm doing what I can to get money for a PC. And I'll do what I think is necessary.
Quote: "Instead of going out, getting a job, and buying a new PC, you decided to do what?"
I have a job. I have for two years. But unfortunately, I live on my own (well beside roomates but they don't count) and I only work six hours a week (company is probably gonna close soon so I guess it's time to look for a new job.) I go to college full time, fall, spring, and summer. I don't have cash like the little spoiled babies in life do.
Quote: "but buying someone a PC?"
Thraxas was telling me people here donated money to Green Gandalf so he could get a PC? Something like that. Maybe it wasn't Green Gandalf, maybe it wasn't here, but someone, somewhere, got a PC lol.
I do like how you say, "but buying someone a PC?" It's funny because I'm not literally asking for a person to give me 300 bucks. I was more hoping there would be like twenty people who were all like, "YES! YES HAYDEN! YES I will help you in your college and gaming endeavors! Here's 5 bucks!" Something like that. I had it perfectly vivid in my mind, 'someone's jumping up in down with a huge grin, their left hand held high with a ten dollar bill and they just can't wait to hand it to me.' You know? Something like that. Not YOU personally give me a pc. That's silly!
I've tried to get money set aside for a computer, but then a car breaks down, a sister totals a truck, anything else that could possibly stop me from saving money occurs.
Quote: "Honestly, I would donate. However, seeing as it's only to support your gaming habit"
Actually I legitimately need a PC for college. But yes, I would love to play video games on it as well lol. My roomates are all stoners unfortunately and don't even go to school; needless to say, none of them have a computer. Didn't think a house with no computer in America existed, but I was wrong lol. I'm so not down to stay at Sierra JC for hours when school is already out. Ugh how crappy would that be?
@Kezzla - Thank you for not being lame and actually trying to help. It could be the RAM. I did take them out and go to FRY's today to see about getting more RAM.
On a side note, donations open up in 3 days time. Feel welcome to give me lots of money
Ahhh, well it seems this donation approach might fail haha. The angry/depressed approach just doesn't work I guess.
I knew I should have put more focus on the whole college thing. Not sure why I didn't as it's the general point in me trying to get a pc. People understand college issues, maybe that would have pulled in a donation or two. And I figured people would get all butt hurt because I said "help a gamer game."
Next time, I'll get it next time
Though I am going to try and spam my site all over the internet lol. Lots of people on the internet, someone is bound to donate eventually!

Come on now! Blasphemy! You know you want to donate! Come on, give in!
