the disappearance

[mwestbelle]

I am posting from that most dreaded and terrifying of beasts: The Home Computer. Why would I speak to you from this ancient, sluggish neanderthal when I could just dash off a happy hello from my shiny and well-loved laptop, Iago? Well. That would be because dear Iago is not with us at the moment. He's been checked into intensive care and, sadly, I don't know when I'll see my sweet one again.

Translation: Dad and I finally went to Best Buy to talk to Geek Squad about Iago's fun little quirk (for those of you not around, when I got back to school after Christmas Break, Iago randomly started using only about 3/4 of his 17" display, leaving a wide black bar across the top and left side of the monitor) and...he's still there. I had NO INTENTION of leaving him, especially not without backing up any (ANY) of my files, but Dad and I had to get home to meet Juj's bus, which left us checking Iago in to stay with the friendly Geek Squad people. (Yes, I cried. Yes, I realize I'm lamesauce incarnate.) Which means I won't be around as much as I'd like to be, since now I have to share this old demon with the rest of the family...I'm hoping that the parentals will let me get on long enough to still be able to talk to people? But I really don't know. (Chrissyway, we may be forced to actually speak to each other after all)

On the (minute) plus side, I would also like to introduce a new member to my little technological family, who came home with me when Iago had to stay away. Macbeth is my black 80gig iPod Classic, and I already love him very much...I'll love him more once I sell Edmund (my Nano) to Juj and thus have somewhat less of a dent in my wallet. (Yes, I name all my electronics after Shakespearean villains, why do you ask?)

Another note: my RL beffie and I have despaired of finding a comm to discuss our original fictiony affairs...thus, I'm rebooting an old comm of mine, makingshitup101, and would like to invite ~all of you to join us. We're hoping to create a fairly closeknit community to discuss and brainstorm original ideas...something of a wolfshirts for origific...as well as do some concrit and writing excersises. *waves pimpcane* Go on!

OH NOES! And I was finally going to have more time to be on AIM again this weekend! :(((

But I joined your community! I am always trying to write my ahaha ~novel, so.

I am trying to monopolize the home comp as much as possible...I'm using AIM Express, which is laggy as all hell but is better than nothing!

Yay! You're awesomesauce <3

Oh bb, I hope all of that is worked out soon. I am waiting for my water to boil and being in and out but but but I don't want your laptop to be broooken or for you not to have it, it would be tragic.

*hugs* If it's not something they can fix, I'm probably just going to keep it broken and buy an external monitor when I go back to school...it works perfectly well, and it would be cheaper than replacing it.

Yeeps! I hope your lovely little laptop gets fixed quickly. It blows to be confined to family computers.... you have to be much more careful about your search histories. XD
Congrats on the new ipod. 80 gigs should get you from here until the freaking apocalypse. No, really.
XD
And your names are just darn cute.

I am sorry that you are separated from your Iago! Hopefully they will cure his myopia soon, and you will have an Improved evil electronic minion.
