My computer has died.

["The Enduring Man-Child"]

Dear Friends:

Although I have not been the most active member of this forum I do enjoy my occasional conversations with my fellow KP fans. Unfortunately, this must now come to an end, at least temporarily, as my computer died this weekend. It was a name brand, bought brand new out of a major chain store just over two years ago, but the motherboard went bad and it looks like I must either do without the Internet altogether or else cancel my cable subscription in order to afford a new computer. Oh well. KP's ended anyway and there's nothing good on now.

The saddest part about the whole thing, and what has me most depressed of all, is that so many files, including my music and my fan fics, are stuck on the old motherboard with no way to get at them. Not being very tech savvy it never occurred to me that I could lose access to them so long as they were actually on my computer. Maybe I'll take this lesson to heart now.

I really didn't need this to happen now, but everyone's having a pretty rough time of it. I might as well join the "fun."

Please don't e-mail or PM me until further notice,as I don't know how long it will be before I have Internet access again.

I'll miss reading your fics over at fanfiction.net and occasionally updating my own. As I said, I don't know how long I'll be without a computer. Maybe it'll be just a short time. Who knows?

Sorry for my disjointed rambling. I'm just overwrought from all this. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers and don't forget about me, okay?

I'll miss you all! Good-bye for now!

Aw, man! You're leaving? I'm gonna miss you!

And Griffin, NOBODY'S replacing The Eduring Man-Child. l_l

Dear Friends:

I'm back! YAY!!!

An old schoolmate who has a repair business, and his young son, spent the past weekend rebuilding my computer and salvaging as much of my files as they could. They managed to save my documents (including fan fics) and music as well! There remained one more problem but I've just gotten back from another computer place in a nearby town where that seems to have been taken care of. So hopefully, things will settle down while I continue to get used to this "new" (ie, custom rebuilt) contraption. There are still lots of kinks to work out but I'm hoping the worst is over.

It's good to be back, even if I don't hang around here very much!
