memorial service to be held tonight over ice cream

Next time I own a computer, would you please remind me to back up every single fucking thing, no matter how small or seemingly inconsequential?

So, yeah, my poor laptop has gone to join [livejournal.com profile] jacito's in the dead gay laptop heaven in the sky. Unfortunately, it looks like mine is not coming back, ever. Well, they said they could give me a new motherboard, but that would cost about as much as I paid for the thing in the first place, so I don't think so.

I just want to cry. Maybe that's why I feel so sick right now. Goodbye to my big recipe database project, to my budget (which took me so long to create), to all my half-finished smut. Oh! And my favourites! All these sites that I'd bookmarked to look at later. Thank pete I have my resume and other assorted stuff on disk, although not the most recent version, I don't think.

Oh well, it's my own stupidity for not backing up regularly.

God, now I guess I have to see if I have enough money to buy a new laptop. And then I have to actually buy one, and try not to let myself get completely screwed, or suckered into getting something more than I need. *sob* My brain hurts already.
