Prayers for My CPU
Okay? Please and thanks.
Wednesday, 21st July 2010 - My computer froze.
It has never frozen ever since we bought it since like 2-3 years ago.
But y'all might think it's no big deal. Even I thought it was no big deal :(
I was surfing the net as per usual, watching Lucifer on replay, OMONA-ing and all the other things I do in my normal 20th century teenage life.
When all of a sudden, my classmate who's been calling in sick lately decided to IM me.
"Elia, did you go to school today" right after I'd set my status to Busy to work on my homework.
Just as I was about to reply, she nudged. SHE NUDGED.
Okay, again, you might take this matter very lightly. "It's just a normal nudge, what's wrong with her?"
Besides me hating, and I mean hating, nudges, I also think it can cause some kind of terrible Armageddon upon my beautiful device.
And oh yeah bitch, it did.
My whole computer froze because at that time, I was personalizing my status so that it'd have an Auto-Responder.
And you know how shitty MSN is at multi-tasking right? It's like a toddler. But we only love it because IMing there is really easy.
That nudge caused chaos man. I tried Ctrl+Alt+Dlt but it did nothing. Nothing.
And for the first time ever, Esc did nothing, too. I was aw-strucked.
So I was like, Fine, be that way. And waited for what seemed like ages
(Nah, actually it was no more than 5 minutes. BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN RIGHT?!)
I have low-tolerance for lags and am very impatient with technology.
So I just hit the power button while thinking to myself "It'll be like waking up from a 1 minute stand-still :)"
I was so wrong. So bloody wrong.
It was stuck. Jammed. Like some one stuffed some thing up it's ass.
So I did the usual "Turn off, turn on" for like 5 times with a pause of 5 minutes in between each try.
Didn't work either. That's when my brain started to sizzle with panic.
So I switched the main switches, along with the modem for say half an hour?
Still didn't work. And by 6.45pm -it started at 5.00pm, I was shaking. Yeah.
It's like one of those fits I go through when I'm so close to beating a Boss in a battle in my latest RPG
And it just kills me and I die, both in the game and a little in my heart.
So I called everyone. EVERYOOOONE. I called my mum to tell her to make sure to bring home the hard drive.
I texted Li Qin to call me but she was busy eating so s'okay.
I called Hanna but she wouldn't pick up.
I called Farah, but after a while she hung up on me in a panic. But I forgive her for that.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHE BLAMED LUCIFER FOR MY CPU APOCOLYPSE?
GIRL PLEASE.
And then, I gave up and called Kaii.
And I've never been so grateful to the reminder of why she's my best friend. Most importantly because she friggin' understands.
So I ranted over and over and she told me, "Elia, calm down. Switch off everything and pull out the plugs. PULL OUT THE PLUGS"
So I did. And waited till 10pm when I asked my sister if she thought it was safe.
Nnnngh, the mouse seriously bailed on me. But with very little improvement since it could now actually move around the screen.
Anyway, I think you're still wondering why this is causing me utter depression.
Well, I think some of you'd understand how I feel after reading everything after this line.
But she says she's anticipating a call from a certain guy she likes and I'm letting her off the hook
Because I don't want her drowning in my sadness with me :(
Go be happy, best friend. *sigh*
So yeah. Please cross your fingers.
Oh and I just remembered. Just to add to the list, yeah?
7. All those Vocaloid pictures and fanart Carmen and I used to collect and marvel over? Might risk losing it all.
And how ironic. The list stops at number seven, my favourite and lucky number. Gee, thanks.
But to think of the bright side of things- just to keep myself from cutting myself (a slice of cheesecake), is that I've made new friends!

Well, I think some of you'd understand how I feel after reading everything after this line.
- All my downloaded songs. My K-Pop songs especially. But maybe I can get 'em from Kaii. She has more anyway.
- My pictures. All those memories. But I uploaded them, well almost all of them, onto Facebook so I'm sorta safe.
- All my Photoshop works. They're not that leggit, but they mean a lot to me.
- All those music videos I've downloaded. No excuse for those. I don't know what to do or what to say.
- Most of all; and what probably might have contributed to the near end of my darling,
- All my K-Pop GIFs, macros, icons and everything. Everything. Everything. This is the point where I expect you to understand.I had over 1000 and almost to 2000 in my Icons & Such file.I have no idea what to do except to just sit here and stare into space as I wander around in my empty, sad brain.
