My computer decided lately that with all the work I've been doing and all the online time I've had on it, it was time to give up the ghost and quit on me. When it started randomly shutting down, I had a sinking feeling that this was it. Sadly, though the thought had crossed my mind, I didn't back up the computer because I really had nothing to back up onto. I do have some documents on my flash drive. And thankfully most of my art collection is uploaded onto the net. But for now, I have no way of fixing the poor thing and getting my old settings back, etc.

Kinda sad that this happens during the weeks leading up to finals. Not to mention that this computer is the only way that I have any kind of recreational time or any time with my girlfriend. As a result, I've been trying to get on MSN with her as much as possible (which isn't as much since I have to use lab computers and library computers, outside the comfort of the dorm room and they have security settings usually) and because of my mood and the lack of lots of time, I have had to block or ignore messages from people other than her. Unless its like urgent business or something, or having to do with a commission. Another result of this happening has been a tremendous art block for me. Every time I put my pencil to the paper, I just get a headache because all I can think of is the work I have to do, the stuff I lost, and the computer itself.

I know a few of you guys are on my buddy list and on my MSN list etc. Its safe to say that I can't get online to talk with you guys on MSN unfortunately, but please leave messages here or on Gaia. Menewsha still gives me issues. Quite frankly I'm in the mood where I'm just fed up with anything having to do with a computer, because I put a lot of work into my busted computer. A lot of money and its probably going to all go down the drain. -_- Its like my baby, I carry it around and I was really proud of it but apparently, though its a little over a year and a half old, it gave up on me.

Hope to talk to you soon - wish me luck on a new computer or getting this one to work again.
