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 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.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.. *hugs*

Second what the others are saying about bugging the store to attempt data recovery. They couldn't get anything off my hard drive when it died, but it was like, not even posting, never mind booting. Yours wasn't quite as dead as that, was it? just, you know, everything else.

Anyway, whatever, it still SUCKS.

I'm not sure how dead it really is. :D All I would get would be start-up anticipation noises and then...nothing. But I will definitely see if there's anything they can drag off it.
