Twilight Zone


Yesterday my laptop would not turn on. I had planned to go to Barnes and Noble and continue to write the screenplay I had been working on all week.

I'm actually very excited about this story. I feel it has real potential and will show my range pretty well. It's not melodramatic as some of my other stories have been. And I have finally gotten the screenplay format down.

So I went in my writing clothes; light blue shirt, with a scarf(my mom says I look like a gypsy) and jeans. I got to Barnes and Noble, sit down, git the laptop out...And it would not turn on. Something about the LCD light(or something) will not come on.


So after a small "what the hell", I went to Best Buy. They have to give it a diagnostic test, which cost 59.00, which apparently takes two days. If the problem cannot be fixed there they have to send my comp off, and I won't get it for two more weeks.

(insert curse words here)

I now know the feeling of having a limb cut from my body. I am so dependent on the thing. My scripts are in there, I cant play the Sims(tear), and getting on the internet has not been that easy, and it's only day 2!!!!

And it doesn't help that a week from today I will be back at school, and need my comp more than ever.

I hate that things go wrong during crunch week. I mean i'm use to things falling into place at the last second, but getting a little weary of it at the same time. I applied for a loan to summer school on Friday, and hopefully by Wednesday it will be available to me. But of course I have been doing the "why isn't it in there yet" thing. Wondering if I should have applied a little earlier, but then remembering that I usually apply at the same time span, so why worry. Right?

Minor trip tp the library perhaps, but for the most part it will be an in day. Yesterday was just not the day. I felt all jinxed and like I had bad luck.

It's been raining a lot here, all this writing inspiration is flying through my head. I had an epiphany of sorts the other day, and feel like I really need finish one of my stories and see what happens from there. I could surprise myself.

I hope my computer comes back to me soon.
