my computer's death

[nathalia]

I'm writing this on my mom's computer because I have just performed an euthanesic (?) act on my computer because I felt it was dying and didn't want it to suffer more than totally necessary. So I tried to save as much as possible before everything died and I lost all my stuff. I gave up all my Sims 2 downloads because I figured that they were dispensable and there was no way for me to save them, but my neighborhood files and such are saved and backed up.

I've known for a while now that my computer was having troubles, but yesterday when I was writing my Spider-Man 3 Initial Reaction it went totally crazy and now nothing seems to be working. No internet, everything crashes after a few minutes and I can't do anything which is why I decided that it was time to let my beloved laptop die and then resurrect it.

I'm trying to call Ali who isn't at home, walking some neighbour's dog because I have some stuff to tell her and we need to decide how we're going to do things tonight when we go to Marion's birthday party. My mother wrapped up her present in some strange, transparent foil that is somewhat frightening.

Ali just called, we're talking.
