Another Day, Another Story

2 days down. 1 more to go before we achieve a week of freedom. Than we'll go back to school and die. >_< I'll sum up yesterday and today in one word: Hell. Okay, maybe not literally, but I sure as hell didn't enjoy these two days. I mean, who would actually enjoy tests? Not me that's who.

On to other issues, If you haven't heard already (I didn't really tell anyone), my computer is practically dead. Thank the maker! By practically dead, I mean practically brain dead. It's like an organ trying to send a signal to the brain only to find that the nervous system just isn't there! Why? Let's just say that after me and my brother opened to see if he could, as he said it, "save it". Opening it yielded dust and, oh my! More dust!

Actually, big piles of dust! One clump of dust was as long as a Shift key on a keyboard. Seriously. And there were a couple clumps of the dust that were the same size too. Anyway, even after cleaning it up and checking to see if the graphics cards fan still worked, which was still working, we closed the shell and fired it up. At first it was still alive, everything worked fine (Not really. Still blinked). Telling me that he couldn't help it, my brother retreated back into his room to hog his laptop. Again. Switching it off, I entered his room to bother my brother.

The next day however, is when it died. After reading some newspapers and eating my breakfast, I proceded upstairs as I did every Sunday. Yes, that's my routine. Eat, Read, Switch On Computer, Wait for computer to boot up, Log in, Scream at the annoying blinking, Surf Web, Eat, Surf Web, Scream some more at annoying blinking, Eat dinner, Surf web, Pack schoolbag, Refill water bottle, and sleep. Fine. Maybe I don't scream at it. I just pound the keyboard hard enough to make some noise, but soft enough to keep it intact.

Anyway.... I switched it on, typed my password (yes, I have one on the computer just for my account. Call me paranoid) logged in, opened FireFox, opened Winamp, played a song, and tried to type in an address. Notice that I put tried in bold and italic fonts. That was the moment when I found out my computer was practically dead. Thinking that it was just the keyboard, I reseted my computer to try to fix it. It didn't work. At all. Even putting the keyboards USB thingy into all the slots didn't work. Trying a spare keyboard turned out to be a fruitless attempt. My computer, was dead. And it blinked even more. And I spent 2 hours trying to fix it. So, yeah. It's dead.

Now, I CAN HAZ NEW COMPUTER PLZ? Or maybe it should be WHEN CAN I HAZ NEW COMPUTER PLZ? Only time will tell. I hope it's soon though. There are so many games I want to try. @_@ Okay, long enough post for today, I need to go study for my last day of tests. And for those of you who are saying "You said there would be videos!", there will be. Soon. Very soon. Just be patient. Okay, till next time (which will be soon, BTW).
