Expletives!

I was in such a good mood a few days ago, what with Lilies War and all. Now I am completely fucking pissed off. I am at the library using the computer because my computer, the one I put all that effort into making run normally again NO LONGER TURNS ON! I went to turn it on this morning and it just wouldn't turn on. The power source seems to still provide power but you push the on/off button and nothing happens. I don't know what this means. I hope it's just a switch or some cheap part that needs replacing because I don't have the means to buy another computer.

Apparently I am severely internet addicted because just this short time of not having my computer has made me extremely cranky and irritable. I am ready to snap at anyone and anything who gets in my way. Instead of wasting all day online I finished reading George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings but if you're at all familiar with the series you'll know that finishing that books isn't the best way to improve a bad mood.

Oh and you want to know what's really, really good? What's so full of fucking WIN the universe cannot contain it? The movie that I've been filming, that I've been so excited about being a part of CANNOT BE COMPLETED. Why? Because the lead actor has apparently decided to bow out with only TWO DAYS OF FILMING LEFT. I do not know why and I do not care. Fuck him. Fuck that guy. I hope something horrible something happens to him. I'm tired of getting fucked over and don't care for the excuses of the people who do it. I was EXTREMELY proud of my work in this movie. I was SO PROUD that I swallowed my anger when a man I have a pathological desire to maim came on as the "producer" in the middle of the film and stayed with it. I was looking forward to sharing it with everyone I know. Now it's dead in the water for reasons I don't understand.

Writing isn't making me feel better about any of this so I'm just going to stop. I just want my computer to work and my movie to still be going. Why can't I have that?

>.<

That sucks so hard, dude. I wish I had something helpful to offer, it sounds like a couple people are just begging to be tossed into a volcano.

Bummer. Hope things start looking up soon.

Does your computer have a light on the back that's blinking? Some towers have it - the blinking pattern can tell you what's wrong. You can Google the blinking pattern and it should come up. To me it sounds like the power supply has gone out. If that's the case, it's usually a pretty cheap fix - I think mine was about $20 to replace.

I'm so sorry for the epic tons of suck. I do hope it gives you a break soon.

I SO get your feelings. Since Labor day of last year, my Internet ability has been so off and on. *frustration*

I've missed you. :)

I've missed you too and often wondered how you are. I keep meaning to call you.

My first thought was power supply. If that turns out to be the case I'm glad to know they can be come by cheaply.

'Twould be nice.

Over to quickly if I did that but if it's the option I've got I'll take it.

Ouch, sounds like you're having a hard time right now. I wish there was something I could do. Just know that I'm thinking of you. *hugs*

You can knock 'em around on the way up the slope? Or just drag them across some volcanic rocks?

Urrrgh...now that's one bunch of nasty shit.
Hope you can get your comp kicked to life again.
So sorry about that movie crap. That guy sucks...unless there's one really good reason behind it.

gah .. i'm not even sure what to say, that must be so very bad.
I hope you can at least sort through your computer troubles without needing a new one .. I guess there isn't anything to be done or wish for regarding the film ..

I'm so sorry....

Not a lot to wish for at all from the way things sound. I'm hoping that tonight I'll see some of the people who are involved. Maybe then I can get some more information.

I would love to hear what his reason is, believe me. It might not improve my opinion any, but I would still love to hear it.

I feel good just knowing I am thought of by you *hugs*

Ooh! Sharp!

It depends on the computer. I had to replace the PS in one of my work computers and it was over a hundred bucks.

Is your computer a laptop? If so, does it have a working battery?

My computer just wouldn't come on one day, and I found out the battery had gone bad-- so much so it fucked up the computer. I took it out, plugged the laptop in by its powercord, and VOILA!-- on it came! I just use it without the battery at all now. But it works.

Its probably nothing that simple, but just in case, I thought I should mention it. Anything that can help! OMG-- no computer? NIGHTMARE WORLD!!!!

Man, that guy quitting on you is seriously shitty. You have every right to be furious.

It's a desktop. We're pretty sure it's the power supply. Our tech support guy is trying to borrow a power supply off another PC to come test the hypothesis and make sure but that's what it's looking like right now.

Fingers crossed!!!
