I'm BACK!!!

So do you remember my last post about my dead computer? Well, it really was dead, and it was devastating. I made an appointment at the Genius Bar, or as I called it, "the drinkless bar that needs drinks", and the "drinkless bartender" did nothing to really help me but to say that it could be the hard drive that was giving me the trouble or my logic board, and either way, it was going to be a heavy penny to get either repaired. It was ridiculous. And so I use just about every computer I could get into reach of to check my email, and of course keep up on the little things like twitter.

I've never expressed my obsession with twitter here, but it's clearly evident that I have a small issue.

I AM ADDICTED TO THE INTERNET.

it's a really big issue because I have over 20 different web accounts to social websites all over the place, and even more, talk to my friends more often than I should through AIM. Naturally, the break between my world from the internet from myself was pretty harsh, but at the same time I became a tad bit productive in different ways such as going out to see movies and have ice cream with a friend. It may seem like nothing, but it was pretty nice and lucky to go and hang out in the "real world".

So let me explain that twitter is a micro-blogging website that's nice for mini updates of what's going on. I love it because it is so quick, I can carry a short conversation with anyone in the community, and I am able to access it with my phone without charges. I use twitter to text updates, and receive direct messages while I also have a number that I can call to record a message update for twitter through "twitterfone". All of it has been amazing because I still have been able to keep in contact with some people that I really enjoy.

But now on to the real story. My computer is fixed. How? A family friend was amazing enough to offer his time to check out what was wrong with my computer, and then kind enough to replace my hard drive, which was the root of the problem, without any cost towards me. I know I'll find a way to repay him, but until then, we're making plans to repair my optical drive because it doesn't like to read DVD's or CD's, let alone burn one. It's wonderful.

I love personalizing a computer. I'm a little upset my computer's little tweaks in bookmarks and files is gone, but I can live with it. I'm just happy my photos and music were safe from the small explosion of the hard drive (not literally of course).

Well, It's really late right now, and this desk is starting to hurt my shoulders when I type, so I'm off to bed with happy dreams because I have my computer back and better than ever.
