Happy Valentines Day to me

[mllelaurel]

Today, as proof of its love and affection, my laptop decided to have a near-death experience. There was a moment when it was literally telling me that it had no hard drive. How... sweet. I spent hours on the phone with tech help, and finally ended up unscrewing the damn creature (with the screwdriver meant for my glasses, no less), and putting it back together. And hooray - for a while, it worked! For a while. I got the same 'all your hard drive are belong to us' message later tonight. Luckily, this time all I had to do was leave it alone for an hour and a half.

But yeah. I have no idea how much longer it will be before the laptop draws its final dying breath. As it is, I'm taking no chances. I'll be burning everything onto CD like, well, burning, today and tomorrow, and hoping for the best, while preparing for the worst.

Argh%^&*()*&^%^!!!

Those of you who've read Good Omens - remember Newton Pulsifer? The guy who fucked up all things technological by looking at them in a positive light? Yeah. I think he was my second cousin twice removed. What other explanation is there?

NEWTON PULSIFER. WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE IT BEFORE??

.....okay, enough caps. Good Omens reminds me of my mother; I started reading it when she was visiting and she was bored so I gave her the book to read on the plane home. Also, she saw me reading boy pr0n of it. >.> <.<

--But he is related to me too which means we must be related as well which is exciting (well, maybe not so much for you :P)

Good luck with your computer!!! You're probably doing okay so far; you opened it without it completely shorting out... Just be careful adding more RAM to laptops; last time I did that my laptop exploded. Literally. >.

It's an Apocalyptic conspiracy is why. Wouldn't do for humanity at large to realize too much, now would it?

Aww, that's kinda... cute? What'd she think of the book? And the pr0n?

*glomps* Wow, I'm so honored to be related to you! XD

Thank you! I have yet to make it go boom, but it is making rather pathetic sounding clicky noises, so it may happen yet.

True... we probably shouldn't talk about it too much or we might be erased or something... >.>

Mom said the book was interesting and the pr0n wasn't that bad.. but why was I reading pr0n about them anyway? Why would I want to put Crowley and Aziraphale (sp??) together in the first place? --ARG I don't want to justify my fangirlness-- at this point, it just -is-. :P (I did find a good Good Omens drabble about Pepper and Adam once on ff.net, actually.)

Yay~~ Family getto! XD

...Err..look out then. If it starts smoking or anything, maybe turn it off, or at least get out of the way...

Better question is: why wouldn't you?

I'll make sure I'm several counties away, by the time this thing gears up to explode.
