*plays taps*  

So, I was chatting with my buddy last night when my computer suddenly froze. I was like, "Huh?" Did a force reboot and was able to get back on.  Made some kind of sarcastic remark to her about my computer protesting ten windows being open at the same time and went on with my night.  Came back a little later to see if my professor ever emailed me back (he didn't) and the computer froze. Again. 

Annoyed, I put my computer to sleep mode and walked away after I restarted it...Fast forward to this morning when I was watching Skip Heitzig and then, right in the middle of the vid, my computer FREEZES. Now I'm panicked.  Lappy is sick!

So I try restarting.

Nothing.

*insert mass panic now*

All I was thinking was all of my iTunes music! My pictures! And (most importantly) all of my WIPs! So, I managed to put my computer into safe mode and transfer *most* of the files I wanted (the important ones I got first) when the computer froze again. Now, well, let's just say all I get is a blue screen of death. *points to icon* No safe mode, no system restore...

So, right now I'm feeling a little like Buzz Lightyear now.


So now I'm working on Dino.  The computer from like 2002, but it works so I'm grateful for that.

Ohhh, that is rotten. Mine has been randomly turning off. Just--ploop!--no more laptop, which has me super nervous.

I feel your pain.

Oh no! That is terrible. :( Don't these computer makers realize there is major fanigrling to be done and we need our computer? LOL

I know, right?!? Is it weird that the first thing I worry about are WIPs?

That was the first thing I thought of. I was like, "OK, I know I have most of my pictures on my memory card and Shutterfly. And I can transfer my iTunes downloads from my iPod. But, WHAT ABOUT MY WIPS??!!!"

I had to take Keira to school before I could attempt to transfer my files to my external hard drive and all I kept thinking was "There are about 40,000 words of WIPs sitting on that hard drive."

Needless to say, my document folder was the first one I transfered over. ROFL
