littlesilveredDo you know how much torture it is to come online on a school computer and watch my flists on my journal and my games and such and not being able to tag or comment because I don't know the next time I'm going to be able to be on a computer? I'm even afraid of making a comment on the forum for the MLPFair of which I am staff this year about a project because I don't know when I will be able to respond again.
Gah! Fucking laptop! For those of you how don't know yet, Sunday night, my laptop totally and utterly died. I knew it was bad but not that bad! And suddenly, it's doing all sorts of weird shit and everything I had on it is gone. Thankfully, I learned from the last harddrive this laptop fried and saved most of my stuff to my external harddrive but I had been working all weekend on a huge presentation for a class and hadn't had a chance to back it up yet. Thankfully, I talked to the teacher yesterday and she was pretty understanding about it.
So now I'm sitting in Linton Reeves checking over everything to make sure I can do my homework and such tonight plus paying credit card bills and such online and I can't help but look at XP and TR and the pony boards and GAH! torture!
And Sunday had been a great day! I'd actually gotten to paint and sculpt! Flash is almost done, his front lightening bolts need touchups and his head glued on and he's good to go. I FINALLY sculpted a cape on Robin that I liked and wanted to send pics to Silensy for approval before boiling but Noooooo....can't do that can I?
Not to mention the Dell people are being utterly stupid. My mother expained to this one guy how I have class and have only certain times I can talk to him about my laptop because we're trying to see if we can exhange it for another since it has insurance. When does he call? When I'm in fucking class! I don't have my laptop with me, duh! Not to mention out of the three people I called Sunday night to figure out what the hell was wrong in the first place, only one had the IQ greater then a spoon and by then, he could only help me get it kinda working after Windows randomly reinstalled itself...before it completely crashed again now to the point that it won't even boot up, it just goes into an endless cycle of restarting. Piece of crap.
I have SO much shit to do but I just either can't really without a working laptop or I just can't make myself do it because I am SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED by the whole thing. Also? QAF is distracting. I've almost finished completely rewatching Season 2, after already completely rewatching Season 1 and Season 3 finally came! Michael's voice is SO strong in my head right now that it's distracting. He drowns out Han and Xander which is something and I can't do anything about it! I've written so many drabbles today, with an actual pen! that my wrist hurts. and god, I've doodled so much. One of them looks like Ethan Gold, which amuses me. I was just trying to draw something resembling curly hair on a guy. Definaly watching WAY too much QAF. It's weird what one does when they have no computer. I read an entire book last night and another whole one Sunday night. Haven't done that in a LONG time. I'm afraid I may do that again tonight vice sleeping. I found an author I really like, Dawn Cook. Her books are like Sabriel, kinda young adult kinda not, but I like them.
Dude, can you say ramble much? I can't IM so you all get my random prattle like this instead because god knows I've kept all this in for the past two days.
Tomorrow should be better as Mom FedExed her latop to me and it should arrive tomorrow as something to use in the interim. Because she knows how important a computer is to my school work, especailly my art if I get into the art program, she's getting me a new desktop, which I hope will withstand the pressure better then a laptop, since I don't have the money to replace it myself. Well, I do but I would have nothing left afterwards and I need that money for my car. Also, I'm going to get another laptop, either the one I exchange my old one for or buying another, but it won't be as powerful. Basically it will have Word and the internet so I can use it on campus, like at the library. That won't cost much more money and I'll probably buy it if I end up not getting another from Dell. I feel bad enough that my mom is buying me a desktop, bad but extremely thankful. Seriously, big money school like Virignia Tech, you NEED a good quality computer or you will fall WAY behind.
I think I need food now. I haven't eaten anything all day and I have to go out and look at cattle tonight for my Ag Merchandising class. Yey fun, cows in the rain.
Send love, drabbles, fic, art, whatever. I need love. Freaking out is not good for one's mental health, especially two days worth and on one who already as very little mental health as it is.

Date: 2006-10-17 10:43 pm (UTC)Sorry about the laptop shittiness, that sucks. I don't realize how much I rely on my laptop until I don't have it. One of my friends here had her laptop die, and that has been hellish, luckily it looks like she will be able to get a new one soon. Stupid computers.
Breathe. It is frustrating, but it will be okay.
