This fanfic is cursed and it wants to bring me down with it

[giethe]

So I spent the last two weeks typing up a Weiss fanfic (for a christmas exchange) while re-organizing my stuff after the JLPT insanity. This week, however, the fanfic gods decided to use me as target practice:

* Monday morning: My 8-year old laptop finally bit the dust. Well, not quite. See, it made a funny buzzing sound, then the backlight burnt

.....YOUR LIFE.

I am never buying an Acer desktop, that's for sure.

Mah babies. T__T

//leaving as soon as mom's dressed.

O-Oh god, my desktop is an Acer, too. I'm going to replace it as soon as I have the money - it's like two (three?) years old, but it already lags so bad when I'm typing on LJ or Firefox that it makes it literally painful to edit fics.

The fanfic gods HATE YOU, man. I would cry so SO HARD.

O_O Yes, it would be prudent to get it replaced - my Toshiba laptop was old, but she was a far tougher bitch than this one (not even storms or ant invasions could stop her). Apparently this desktop fizzles out if I try to use it on a daily basis (my mom's computer illiterate see, so she only attempts to touch it every couple of months).

I teared up a couple of times, and my sister found me venting my frustration on water-soluble crayons during the power black-out. >_> Looks like I'll be re-typing it, but I have notes jotted down in a notebook. BRUTE FORCE solution. NOTHING CAN STOP ME.

Man, I still have an iBook that's like 10 years old and still works. Macs are devil computers like that.

G-God, I've only ever kept notes of ONE of my fanfics on paper, and I even stopped doing that after a while. After having some coworkers read one of my (intentionally awful) fics out loud, I developed a real aversion to it. But I guess it comes in handy!

I am so sorry. I hate it when that happens. ;~;

I got an acer and it leaves alot to be desired but..GOOD GRIEF, sweetie!! That is suckish.

So sorry *glomps*

Awww, so sorry about all that. It sounds like you did a lot of tooth-grinding. Hopefully, you will be able to salvage what you really need.

Feel better!
