I finally got my MacBook Pro's bootloader fixed, and I got XP Pro SP2 reinstalled, and all of my Steam games downloaded. I can finally play Team Fortress 2 seriously!! Also, the very night I finally get XP and Steam running flawlessly on my MacBook, Bioshock goes on sale for %50 off!
I also got VMWare Fusion installed, and set it up using my XP BootCamp partition. This is really convenient for me, as it means when I want to download something quickly, or change a setting, or get a file off of my Windows partition, I can just boot up Windows in VMWare, which takes less than a minute, do what I need to do, then shut it down. For instance, last night, after installing Windows, I booted back into OS X, ran VMWare, and got Steam, uTorrent, and BlackXP installed, and all my Steam games downloaded, all from OS X. It's really freaking useful, and makes my already awesome computer that much more awesome. :P
Fail
I've finally come to accept the fact that I am totally friend-zoned. For those of you that don't know what that is, I'll explain it. A guy and a girl are bestest friends. Guy is in love with girl, girl thinks guy is nice, but doesn't like him in that way. The actual rejection itself is sorta like this:
You apply for a job at a great company. The company looks at your resume and says "Your qualifications are great, and you're exactly what wee're looking for in an employee. However, wee're not going to hire you. Wee will, however, use your qualifications as the basis for every employee wee hire from now on. Wee will never hire someone nearly as qualified as you. Hell, wee may even hire an alcoholic. But they will always be better looking than you. And when it doesn't work out, wee'll come to you, needing a shoulder to cry on. But remember, wee will never, ever, hire you." Yes, I am bitter about it.
tl;dr My life is awesome and horrible at the same time.
