Hullo, ducks, miss me?

Yes, I know, let the rejoicing begin. I'm still getting messages from people who haven't yet been to my forum to see that I'm fine, but since my last entry was over a week ago, they notes are getting more seriously worried than they were in the beginning.

My friend Robert called me Thursday and asked me to call back, collect if necessary, to let him know that everything was alright. I called him saying "It took you six days to worry about me?" and he answered "I was worried right away, it just took me six days to call!"

Had I actually died, I would have been a bloated and rotting corpse in six days, unable to make a call, collect or not! Of course, the same thing would have happened in one day, so there you go.

Of course, what really happened is that I spilt literally about two drops of milk on my laptop keyboard, and all went kerflooey. My laptop currently is being worked on diligently round-the-clock by Gateway technicians so that it can come back into my loving arms once again.

In fourteen to twenty-one days. Argh.

In a weird co-incidence, though, before the Milk Incident, I had arranged to buy a computer from work. They were getting rid of last year's models at low low discount prices, so I thought it would be silly to pass one up. Now I will be using it alot faster than I thought I would!

And why am I suddenly updating? Did I get said new/old/work computer? Nope! I just figured out that the reason that I couldn't ftp from Cynthia's computer in the first place was because I spelled "hedgehog" wrong. Go figure.

Do not, however, expect regular updates until I get the new computer home, because I really can't be up in their room early in the morning or after midnight--prime updating times for me on weekdays. But now you know, all you have to do is check out that ol' faithful forum, and, in fact, if I ever go missing again, it's the one place that I can update from any computer, ftp or no, so it's always a safe bet.

I know that this isn't exactly what one would call an entry, more what one would call a cheating placeholder thing, especially when one has been gone for days on end, but I'm going in the backyard. Regular updates coming Tuesday or Wednesday again, I promise! And back entries! Lots to read, lots and lots.

Just not right this very little minute.

O, and everyone who was going to trade mix tapes with me, all of your names and email addresses are on my milky computer, so that will all have to wait until it comes home safe. You might as well spend the time making the tapes or burning the cds or whatever, so that they are ready to go in fourteen to twenty-one days (well, ten to seventeen days at this point) and to those of you who asked what I want to hear, well, what I want to hear is what you like best!

Today's horoscope:
You flit from one thing to another today. Many options for leisure tug at you. You can't do everything; choose your favorites.

One year ago today:
Big doin's here in the land of the free and the home of the flies--we're takin' the fight to them!
