1s and 0s! 1s and 0s! Halleluiah! Halleluiah!

I just wanted to post an update on the computer woohaw I discussed yesterday, since I know all you people looking for TEENAGE PANTIES (and my goodness, there are a lot of you!) are so interested in the endless minutiae of my life.

Against all odds, The Little Laptop That Could actually turned on this morning, and my hard drive seems to be intact. My files are safely copied onto an external hard drive, and we are taking TLLTC to the computer hospital to see what repairs need to be made - definitely the power source, since when I tried to plug it in after turning it on and witnessing the miracle, it made a terrible hissing noise and turned itself off again, causing a bad moment of "well, great, it WAS okay, but I probably just killed it for real." But the little trooper can run off the battery still, despite a bit of stickiness in the keyboard, and I am beginning to hope the hope that dare not speak its name.*

Thanks for all your well wishes. Please think good thoughts about minor, inexpensive, rapid repairs, if you will. But even failing that, the data is intact, which makes me giddy like a schoolgirl. Huzzah! Huzzah!

* Pssst. Quick, over here, while Fate is not looking...is it perhaps possible that I can have this computer fixed at a relatively reasonable price, and will not have to buy a new one after all? *Swoon*

Thanks for your kind thoughts, you guys. I am awaiting news like an anxious mother, and will let you know how it all turns out.

Damn, came in here looking for teenage panties and now I'm hooked.

Where are they anyway?

Belle: I know, wouldn't I feel silly now?

Whiny The Elder: Blogatron doesn't do panties. Down with panties, we say!

Er, we didn't mean that in a dirty way. Stop snickering, you there in the corner!
