skipped a day of posting because something horrible has happened: A death of a loved one.
Who died?
My computer.
Instead of doing a random post about whatever silly thing pops up in my head, I shall dedicate this to my wonderful computer.
"You never know what you have until it is lost"Sadly, this is all too true. I have received my first computer as a present in 2003. Ever since that day, I have went on every single day nonstop. I never knew how addicted I was. I thought I would not be able to live without it. Yesterday, I realized that my computer keeps showing a black screen with letters and numbers that mean nothing to me. No matter what I did, the computer would not do anything else. I was devastated.
And got over it a few minutes later.
Sure, I feel left out and unattached to the world now. It's like I died, but it didn't change much. My habits are just broken, I guess. I have just been bored recently.
Of course, everything in that computer is gone now. All the 600+ songs I collected, the drawings I made, the stories I never finished, the pictures I randomly kept and never deleted, the saved pages, etc. all gone. I never liked backing up all the files because I always felt like, "Not like I'll need it. My computer is just fine.". I never thought I was so wrong!
Anyways, I am sneaking into my step-father's computer for the time being. I have to buy a new >laptop<. Why laptop? Because they are cheaper. I am poor without a job and in high school. There is no way I have enough to buy a computer. Also, I realized it is a lot cheaper to buy a Mac. Why? Because PCs get viruses so they need a bit of the extra things. A Mac may be expensive at first, but they last longer and they look nicer.
Anyways, I probably won't be posting continuously and might skip days. I know nobody is really reading this, but it makes me feel special to point this out :)
Oh! And my little brother went to the hospital yesterday... He broke his arm :) Nobody believed him since he usually complains a lot, but it turned out he did have a broken wrist and we were all wrong for not believing him.
Random Thought: Doesn't it look like I care more about my computer than my cute little brother?
Don't. Even. Remind. Me.
ReplyDeleteI have had my stupid, stupid laptop for about two years, and so far, I have used it for about... one. Why? Because it keeps breaking down! I'm serious! And it /always/ breaks down when I'm on break. It's a conspiracy, I tell you! It's an Acer and it kinda overheats a lot, so yeah, then something burns down and the dudes in the shop keep their mouth shut for like a month, then return it to me, then when it breaks down a week later, the circle continues. It's like I'm cursed, I swear! I have to use my father's work laptop right now, and it's awkward. It's just so... big, and I don't know what button is where (I knew where each button was on my laptop and took pride in writing really fast!), and he has Opera. I hate Opera. It sucks. (No offense if you use Opera. Just my humble opinion.)
Awww, I hope your brother is okay! Trust me, I know how he feels. ;)
And don't worry. My computer takes first place in my scale of caring about people/stuff. That is, if I had such a scale. Wouldn't it be awesome if I actually did?
Sincerely,
Nissa
