I'm not okay

[exsequar]

I'm just going to copy the email I just sent my parents. I don't have the energy to say it all again.

My laptop is, at least for the moment, dead. Or I suppose you could say it's in a coma. Anyway, my computer cannot communicate with its hard drive and thus will not start up. No one seems to know exactly what's wrong - it could either be the hard drive is completely corrupted and just dead, or it could be that the connection is broken. Either way, it's probably going to be a bitch to get it to a repair place, and cost an arm and a leg, as I'm pretty sure the problem was caused by my dropping the laptop a few months ago and fucking up the hinge, and thus the connection to the hard drive. That's the working theory, anyway.

Kate is being very generous and has offered to basically share her computer with me for a while. Niall (one of the computer science guys) has a device by which you can directly connect to a hard drive outside of a computer and take information off it. We're going to try to see if we can rescue my lab report and other stuff that way. That will also help us figure out whether it's the hard drive or the connection that's the problem.

Basically it sucks. I also woke up sick this morning. I really hope that this time the bad things are going to stop at three.

/email to parents

I want to cry, I really do. This is the worst possible time for this to have happened. Tonight is the sci fi Annual General Meeting (read: free booze), and my head cold bedamned, I am getting trashed. I just. I need to get out of my head for a little while.

Needless to say, I'm going to be a bit out of touch for a while. I'd appreciate if you gave me a heads up to any particularly exciting shenanigans. Like, you know, if Gerard Way blinks or something. (Heh, kidding! ...sorta)

UGH.

:( :( That sucks. Are you out of your warranty? I hope Niall can get your info off.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

No I have an extremely expensive warranty that has already saved my ass once, but since this damage might have been caused by how I dropped the computer and fucked up the hinge (which is apparently a delicate area with important connections?) that wouldn't be covered by warranty. Booooo.

But Niall seems quite confident he can get my data. A lot of Ireland pictures are on there that I dont want to lose! *crosses fingers*

Augh, it's horrible when laptops die on you without warning, mine did that a couple years ago. :\
