">My Laptop Hates Me
November 12th, 2008 @ 9:38 am

Tuesday morning I was innocently playing on my computer surfing youtube and watching some videos, when randomly my screen went glitchy. The last time this happened I was playing World of Warcraft. My laptop froze and when I forced shut down and shut it back on the screen basicaly told me it had to restart, which I did. But it said it again and again and again. I gave up and called Apple Support where a very nice guy helped me. He walked me through quite a few steps but nothing helped, 40 minutes later we tried everything. He gave me my case number so that I can schedule an appoinment with Apple to get my computer fixed.

Sadly, this won’t happen until next weekend when I go home (there’s not an apple store here). So I am computer-less for a little over a week (right now I am in the computer lab at the apartment complex I live in). Of course this had to  happen just DAYS before World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King comes out! I have a copy on reserve, and will pick it up anyways tomorrow at work … even though I am unable to play it :(

I still have my cell phone so I can surf the net that way, but that is very limited. Of course this also happened the week that I got new ideas for Despair.nu … perfect timing :( On the bright side I bought Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Galaxy at work when we had the buy 2 get 1 free so I have those to amuse myself! Already played Brandy on Wi-Fi with Mario Kart – so fun!

    That really sucks. Espescially conscidering WoW. I used to be a WoW addict so I know the thrill of new happenings in Azeroth. :)

    I’d go nuts if anything happened to my computer and I had to send it off. The last time I had to have a computer fixed it was sent back with the wrong OS. Hopefully it’s not anything too major!

    Eugh that really sucks. I’d cry if something happened to my computer. I don’t think I can send it anywhere to get it fixed. =/
    I’m kind of sad about WoW, I can’t get the expansion because I’m a poor college student who doesn’t have the money to spare..and I hear Shattrath is empty now. :(

    I hope your lappy’s problem isn’t too serious. I almost had a heart attack when I broke my laptop’s LCD.

    I hate WoW, though my husband adores it. He is planning to get the expansion pack sometime soon, I believe.

    Ugh, computer issues suck. My desktop died on my last May and I was practically hopeless. And now I’m constantly scared something will happen to my dear laptop :(

    Have you got your laptop back yet? I’m starting to think I would die of boredom without mine. Although I do find that my motivation to work on my websites seems to be proportionate with the amount of computer time I have. I do love the WiFi with my DS…hopefully soon I will have a Wii with WiFi too lol

    Oh that sucks! I think I’d go nuts if mine were to stop working (thank goodness it hasn’t clapped out yet). Mario Kart is tonnes of fun! I haven’t gotten around to buying it for my DS though. What colour is yours?
