I'm not actually (stop laughing!) but lately sure does feel like it. Although most of it is probably my laptops fault which is old and probably dying slowly, but I solemnly promise to love it (occasionally cuss at it) until the day it stops working altogether. We've been together through thick and thin. 3 years now. My longest relationship to date. It was there for me every time I had to write essays and do presentations, I rewarded it by giving him a taste of Estonia's most famous liquor Vana-Tallinn. Yes, I did, it's all about sharing ;) but it got so drunk and such a serious hangover that It had to be hospitalized for a month (yes, it could've been repaired quicker but it cost too much money that I just wasn't willing to spend). So no more alcohol for you mister!
Another sign that doomsday is near for it is it's reluctance to connect to wi-fi and oh no don't you dare blame the poor router for not providing us with internet! It's not his fault most of the time. It's my dear oldie that is too cool for wi-fi because when I connect it to the router by an ethernet cable the internet works just fine. He just wants to connect with something ok? Don't judge! Which is totally fine when I'm sitting in the living room, but when I want to be in my room (in my bed :D) then it's a bit annoying to have a freaking on-off wi-fi.
Today it gave me the ultimate scare. The bastard refused to boot up. Da fudge??? Today, Thursday!!!! When I actually made plans to study!! Half an hour I pressed the on/off button to get it to work, the lights on the keyboard went on and it made a faint noise that the ventilators or whatever they are inside are working, so a couple of signs that it is in fact still alive, probably in a coma... great, and I haven't backed up or made any copies of my pictures in a freaking year! I can't lose my precious pictures! Yes, I've already come to terms that my laptop's time is near and it is inevitable that the last goodbye is near so I didn't freak out at all. my emotions are probably as fucked up as my laptop to be honest.
My breakfast was ready - the first proper breakfast I've had in months - when my dearest fought for it's life so hard that it actually started working. Making a lot of noise - like a proper vacuum cleaner should ;) - and told me everything is fudged up dude!!! I silently pressed the ok button or something like that to every warning it gave me and voila it actually works again!!! Yay!!!! Although I must say, it is in fact retarded now :( I mean no offense still love though :) Anyway the right third of the screen is completely black, like it doesn't exist anymore... :D I can live with that!
You and me 'til the end fo sho! :)
Love you!
Sidenote: I'm currently at the uni's computer room which is almost full and the computer I chose out of the two that were free, said obnoxiously to me that it can't log me on. F.U I honestly wanted to punch the screen in! You can't do this to me!!!!! But luckily the other one had a little heart inside it and here I am writing this blog and feeling such an emotional connection to a laptop :)
Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
Oh, dear. I know that feel. The most underrated, yet valuable relationship IS between you and your computer. I hope he survives this wave.
