I am not here

[schmerica]

Hi, you guys, this is the first time I have been on the internet since my computer burst on Friday. (It did not literally burst. It is just that I have had the laptop for a year and a half, and it is the very cheapest model of dell, and after having problems for months, it seems to have given up the ghost.)

Of course, this is not very convenient at all! Basically, I am mostly pissed that this happened AFTER I had already bought my plane ticket and registered for Muskrat Jamboree, because as much as I love you guys and am way looking forward to seeing you all, a new computer would be a way more useful and important use of that 300 dollars.

The other inconvience is that it happened the way that I have a big project worth a third of my grade due in one class, and all a career fair, and various other school related things where I could really use all the information and files I have saved away there. Sigh!

The library has a thing where you can check out laptops for either four hours or overnight, but you can only do it once a week, so I am saving that for the night I have to work really hard on my project that is due.

...That was all really boring, sorry! I am boring. And also bored; it is amazing how many of my activities require a computer to entertain me these days. fox1013 and hobbledehoy both entertained me on the PHONE (gasp!) on Saturday, and Sunday I didn't even let poor speshope have a moment to rest from her drive back to Eugene before she had to drive me around and play games and watch movies with me for five hours. I am getting a lot of reading done! But it's hard to appreciate when I know there is homework I could be doing.

ALSO ALSO ALSO. Saturday -- as I had Fox reported in a semi-garbled fashion -- was my FIFTH ANNIVERSARY in both fandom and livejournal! This is hard for me to believe, because, uh, five years is a really freaking significant portion of my life, you guys. I don't know how that happened! Five years! Seriously, what the fuck!

...Which is to say, I love you all and am glad I found such a strange and rewarding hobby to guide me through life.

Since I am in a public computer lab, I am not going to be able to catch up on my flist at all until my computer situation firms up somewhat. But I should be able to check my email on a regular basis, so you should email me because I am so sad and lonely!!! Reach out to me! *sniffle*

It turned out okay! My parents decided to lend me money for a new computer. It is very shiny and I am sort of frightened of it, because it is so pretty and I am afraid the store is going to call and say "oops! that was too nice for you! we shouldn't have given it so cheap."

hey, I see you just called, but I too am in the computer lab and feel bad breaking Computer Lab Silence to answer phone. What's up?

I will have to have EXTRA fun, knowing that I couldn't really afford it! I will pack every last bit of fun into the weekend.
