Computers suck

[arienette]

Well, well well...

My computer got fried. It overheated two nights ago and has been glitching ever since. Re-doing the entire cooling system for the computer the boyfriend and I found that that wasn't the only problem we had on our hands. Basically the entire computer is fucked, we don't have the money to fix it right now and don't know when we will. Because of this I will not be around and since I can't find the in/out board I'm just making a brand new thread explaining my absence. No, I'm not leaving forever, but I have no idea when I will be back or have the opportunity to sit at a computer. I'm at the boyfriend's parent's house now which is how I'm able to check in.

Also, and what crumbles my motivation and saddens me the most, I am over 37,000 words into my Nano novel, was on one hell of a roll and now being without a computer, I am not able to finish it.

I will, as always, be in close touch with Abs so you won't be losing track of me forever. That's good, right?

Damn. *HUGS*

Hope your absence isn't a long one sweetie.

I'm gonna miss you kiddo. If I had any money I'd be tempted to get you a new computer. Probably wouldn't, but I'd be tempted.

Now who am I gonna have witty conversations with?

 

[Liar]

Well, darn.

I'm gonna demnd one helluva update on what you've been up to , once you're computerized again.

Until then have fun in the analog world.

Feeling your pain. Lost the stuff on my 'puter last week but at least I got a loaner. Still hoping to retrieve some writing and pics. Not sure how fried mine is.

Do what you can to keep that train rolling on NaNo, Ari.....even if it's writing longhand...don't get stalled.

Good luck. Just about the same thing happened to mine a few weeks ago and I just got fed up with adding more parts to the Frankenstein's Monster powering my business and my ramblings and I bought a new one.

Not much has been happening. The boyfriend and I have taken a mini-vacation for the past few days and have been staying at his parent's house. Sure, on one hand we're not bored -- We have television, he is on one of the desktop computers playing with his father's new 3-D glasses and playing games, his father set me up on his laptop so here I am sitting here and watching Top Chef ( A VERY addictive show, if you haven't seen it -- Even better than the regular Food Network addiction I recently fend off when sitting in front of a television)

Now, on the other hand, while his parent's are completely wonderful and kind-hearted people, his mother also has a loud voice that would give a monk a migraine. His father is a former pot head and mumbles under his breath and expects you to understand what he's saying. No, it isn't terrible and I'm being fed and everything is good, but goddamn it gets annoying.

I haven't been working on my Nano novel, but we're going to take a little trip back to our apartment sometime this afternoon and pick up my travel drive I am thankful I saved my story to and then pick up some cigarettes because I am fucking dying, and then come back and work on my story some more. I hope it finish it in the next few days; I would be insanely proud if I could get a novel written at only 20 years old.

...And that is what I have been up to lately!

Keep at it Ari, and it's good to see you around.

It's great to be around, thanks.
We stayed the night again last night, I ended up going to bed at 9:30pm and then woke up at 7am where the boyfriend and I went out for breakfast and then came back. We're hanging out on the computers again in front of the television where we plan to stay for the majority of the day. He has a show tonight (damn musicians) so we're going to head back to the apartment and while he's gone I'll clean or something...Only when I'm away from there for a while do I realize how much I actually hate being at that place.

I know what you mean, it's the same with me and staying at my grandparents house. We just completely disagree on everything. I mean today was the first time in an extremely long time I can remember not having to be at school before noon, and instead of letting me sleep in they wake me up at 8:30 so I can put up their fake tree...BEFORE THANKSGIVING!!!!! Gggrrraaarrrggghhh!!!!!!
