Happy NYE to me

[trouble]

My laptop is a paperweight.

My thesis is backed up in about six different places, so that's not a problem.

They can get the information off it.

It's a paperweight. A stupid stupid paperweight.

This year, I'm telling you. I'm so ready for it to be over.

Argh! Fuck this year and the horse it rode in on.

Fuck 2010. Seriously. Can 2011 be better? The last two years have been fucking disasters for me, my loved ones, and pretty much everyone else I know.

[trouble]

I've decided to start 2011 early. Yay! I have cola and pop corn!

[automaticdoor]

YAY!

Today's final straw for me was trying on three festive outfits before I found one that halfway fit. (I have gained ... a lot of weight, ~30% of my former body weight, in the past four months from stress. Nothing fits.) Fuck 2010. Here's to a better new year. *toasts you*

[wrdnrd]

It's 2011 already somewhere in the world! Celebrate the hell out of it! Celebrate it on the stroke of every HOUR.

Mmmmm, popcorn soaked in cola!

[trouble]

I am going to start VERY VERY SHORTLY.

Bugger. I hope 2011 sees you in a better city with a better laptop.

[trouble]

At least I have it all backed up. Yay!

[ironed_orchid]

That is a very good thing.

Gmail came along one year into my thesis writing, and I used to email myself drafts, so I could access them from any computer.

Oh, fragitall. That's the final insult of the year, at least. Here's hoping you have a robust laptop for the new year that can be cowed into working properly.

[trouble]

At least I have something i can type on, and I will have even more reason to buckle down at the library.

I meant to ask, is there anything we can do to aid in the replacement of said paperweighted laptop?

[trouble]

No, no, it'll all be good, but thank you for asking. We're going to see how much it will cost to repair, and if it costs too much to be worth it I'll fret about a new one when we get settled in the new city. I'm trying to think of it as one less thing to pack.

Wow! You've been forging silver linings with great skill, lately, sorry this year offered so much bloody practice <3

[trouble]

I usually need to spend a few hours being very WOE and then get over it.

[terajk]

Aarrrgh! Laptop!

Fuck this year, indeed.

You'd better not suck, 2011. I've got my suspect eye on you.

*hugs* Poor wee little lappy. It and OGiVi are frolicking in the lappy afterlife, hopefully not telling "my user was so demanding" stories.
