"You know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills… Girls only want boyfriends who have great SKILLS."

The not-Boyfriend hacked my computer some months ago so that the “Start” menu read differently. He sent me an un-hack last week that would revert it back to saying “Start,” but I thought that was pretty lame (also, I liked what it read, but after this week, I figured it might be easier on my heart if I changed it).

I mean, I *liked* having a customizable “Start” screen. So instead of running the unhack, I did a little poking around and found out how to hack my own Start menu.

Which I then did.

Cause I’m cool like that.

Now that I know it works, I’ll probably switch it around to something else, but that’s a good test run. I think I’ll change the one on my home computer to “Nyx.”

I mean, that’s the computer’s name, after all.

I’m such a dork.
