service announcement: I'm not dead (yet)...

...however, my computer seems to be in a coma.

:: stands up, clears throat :: Hi, my name is Veronika and I'm a computer addict. Internet addict. Either. Both.

Fri. my computer froze and when I turned it on again it wouldn't start, not even when I tried using the CD.

And I might have overreacted the tiniest little bit. At this point I still don't even know what may or may not be lost (I'm bringing it to the technician tomorrow), and in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't be anything all that important either, just pics, mp3s, bookmarks, some of which I'd been considering to delete anyway, but it still felt like coming home and discovering a room had been cleared out & swept clean. Granted, a small room and one mostly filled with junk, but junk I happened to like, junk that happened to be part of my life.
:: pouts ::

Sat: Sat in a cold apartment after work, trying to avoid staring pathetically at the dead computer, which is really kind of hard in an apartment this small, grumpy, no internet connection, feeling severed from the world. Unable to even type a journal entry to post it later. :: facepalm :: Add live journal addiction to the list.

Er. Over-reacting. Good thing too, I'm such an attention whore I keep an online-journal. The last one and a half year's worth of journal entries I'd really have missed.

Sun: Cleaned the apartment, and hey!, maybe the computer should break down more often, I might actually get things done.

Still. Sucks, especially as there's so much to do at work, what with Christmas and everything, that I really have neither the time nor the energy for this.


Note to stupid, lazy, procrastinating self: one word - backup! Tomorrow sometimes isn't soon enough.

Note to self, part 2: Get. A. Life.


Afterthought. If they do manage to restore everything, there's the additional minor embarrassment of my current desktop wallpaper, which is of the slashy pirate-y kind. But well, I guess (hope) they've seen worse, and it's nothing explicit, either...
