Short Circuit- Johnny Number 5
(My dad's nickname for me when I overwhelm myself with unecessary thinking)
My laptop screen decided, after 4 years, to undergo an identity crisis and become a disco light. Spent a hundred sqhuid to replace the screen (100 pounds!!!) and since the breakdown of my bath tub and the fact that my laptop is attempting suicide as we speak, I've developed a fear of having to service anything I have at this moment.
Things cost so much to be repaired here it makes me actually want to be a mechanic even though we all know I will be the first to be electrocuted.
I never knew how much I depended on my laptop until I had to go without for nearly a week. Couldn't google map directions, couldn't fix my bank account, couldn't check the weather forecast to see if i would get rained on (I did), actually did productive things (finished The Time Traveller's Wife after abandoning it for so long), actually got enough SLEEP and woke up earlier than 12pm, actually had lots of me-time to spend during my off day and more time left over to just chill and watch some TV.
Actually had a life.
Now that I got my laptop back I'm probably going to slip back into old habits of Face Stalking until 5am. Should really chuck the laptop aside once in a while.

You know what I miss the most about you?
ReplyDeleteYour sense of humour. =)
If your laptop is now a disco light, mine is making sounds like a motorcycle and acting as a heater for my room.

ReplyDeleteyes mine makes motorcycle sounds too.. its so bad im embarassed to bring it to the library..and friends who come to stay over dont want the laptop in the same room when they sleep coz theyre scared its going to explode or something..im guessing its just our laptop fans needing replacement or something :)
