Current Music: Elton John - "You'll Always Be Beautiful In My Eyes"

For those of you whom I haven't complained to yet... my computer is dead. Completely. It won't even start Windows. MediaMarkt had to ship it off to some other place in Holland that fixes only Compaqs, and they told me that I am most likely going to lose EVERYTHING on my hard drive. THAT SUCKS!!! Most of it is backed up, of course, but that's 4,000 miles across the ocean, and besides, there are a lot of important things that aren't backed up. I'm very dependent on my computer - I download a lot of music, I write a fair amount of little stories, etc., I save a lot of chats which I read later on, I save website stuff - and now everything I've done since I've had this computer is gone. That means at least four story-type things, one of which was really long and might have turned into something good, at least 75 songs, some scheduling stuff I was working out for UF, everything I've saved having to do with this site, and my half-finished Linguistics paper which is due in two days. So I've spent most of tonight on S's computer trying to redo it. Sigh. Why do these things always happen to ME???

So the computer crashed on Monday, and then today my bike got a flat and I can't pick it up for two days. Bad things happen in threes, right? Wonder what's next - me getting hit by a car or something?

On a more cheerful note, H is coming to visit tomorrow (and probably staying until after the weekend) and D might come down on Thursday night so the 4 of us can hang out. That was fun last time until we all ended up fighting... let's not do that again. ;)

On a not-so-cheerful note, it's 1.24 and I have class tomorrow morning, yet I haven't showered or finished my Boswell homework. So that means it's time to stop playing with the website. Just wanted to let you guys know what was going on. Sympathy is welcome. :) And so are SMSs, since that's my only somewhat-computerlike way of contact now - 06-42211771.

Goodnight. Good morning. Whatever.
