So, I spilled water all over my laptop. (PowerBook, fyi, I love her like a child, she has been with me through three years of college and two continents.)
Yeah, I was asleep, laptop on a little marbled-topped table next to me, glass of water on the window sill. As I woke up, my pillow pushed the glass of water all across my laptop key board.
As I frantically sponged the water off with my sheet, my screen saver started to pixelize and go funky at the bottom, so I did a hard shut down with the power key, unpugged it, and tipped it so that all the water could get out. Tried to start it again - nothing. I went online, did some reading (on mom's comp, what I'm on now) and currently Angelina is propped open and upside down to air dry.
A few minutes after I tried to start up for the second time, it made this whiny 'shut down noise' and now it's utterly quiet, and I'm afraid. So very, very afraid.
And now I pressed power (because I am an evil whore who can't leave well enough alone) and the fan is going crazy and the screen is totally blank.)
Like, two minutes from calling up![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mzminola's step dad and throwing myself on his mercy afraid.
(And of course it's been a couple weeks since I backed up my stuff.)
I also managed to knock the marbled topped table over onto my foot, but let's be read people - I would have chosen a bit more pain for the safety of my computer in a heartbeat.
Oh, fuck, you guys. Oh. Fuck.
