My laptop, that is! El-oh-el, I hate laptops! Hate, hate, hate 'em! They're useless! Expensive and don't last long!

How it broke? Let's have a timeline! Hooah!

Five months ago, the battery died.
Two months ago, the CD Drive broke, after less than a dozen uses!
Three or so weeks ago, the sound card got loose. It's pretty much permanently without sound, now!
Less than a week ago. I gave the cat a bath, he sat on my laptop, fried half the keyboard.
Less than a week ago. The hard drive itself became disconnected.

Lovely! SO LIKE, I'm stuck on my mum's computer for now. S'not so bad, but I can hardly do anything on here.

Mind you, my laptop was only two years old! Hewlett Packard has struck again! Man, I swear, my first laptop, which was a heavily used Compaq over twenty pounds, containing only eighteen gigabytes, is -still- in a usable condition. In fact... The only thing that needs to be done on it is for someone to re-sauter the power button back to the motherboard! LOL.

And let's see, that laptop has been shoved down -how many- stairs with me? Has been pulled out of my arms and tossed to the ground HOW MANY TIMES!? And it's HOW MANY years old? Let's see, I got it when it was about three years old, back.... Six years ago? That's right. A nine-year-old laptop is kicking the arses of brand-new HP laptops!

~.~ So my next computer will be a desktop, using my flatscreen TV as a monitor. I'm already working on the blue prints of the desk I want for it all to come together on... So far, I've got something that looks like it could really sell for people like myself who like convinience AND safety with their game systems, DVDs, stacks of VHS and collectibles, stuff like that.

It'll be a good change, I think. And if I get a wireless keyboard, I can do my stuff as usual from bed. Nothing will have really changed except the reliability of the setup. Besides that, I will -finally- have a good gaming computer without freakin' out over the dying graphics card. Damn Graphics card.... Makes you LAG right when you're fightin' a BOSS.

Other than that..... Siiiigh. I guess everything is goin' a'ight.

I'm thrilled that the raccoons are letting me pet on them and stuff. They will even sniff at my hands, they don't come close to bitin' me. I'm grateful to my abilities to get close to wild animals.

I set Basalisk free the other morning. Hope she's alright. It got cold today... Hope she'll be warm for winter.

Gunna go take a shower and disappear from DA (In essence, I'll still be around to talk if someone needs me) for a while.

Ciao, beautiful people.
