Okay so let's get straight to the point. Good news is, I have Shelia (my laptop) in my possession again. Bad news is: Sheila has NO FREAKIN' FACE! Apparently, the computer repair people wouldn't even bother looking or buying a screen for my computer, even when I gave them a check to cover both cost and shipping expenses. So, as of two Thursdays ago, Shelia has no screen. No screen means it's impossible to use her. Not being able to use Sheila means some SERIOUS withdrawls. Some people are addicted to crack or booze. I'm addicted to anime, video games, computers, RPG (any kind), drawing, writing, caffine, carbs, suger, and crispy potatos.

It's not like I'm going to die of it-I'm *ahem* "currently commendering" my parent's desktop, and I can access most of the web through my PS3's Internet function (though it never gets the format right and likes to freeze every so often). However, I don't use Shelia for games or watching anime (usually-that's what the PS3's for. A 27" TV is much better viewing than an LCD). By now, you all should know, I use my poor and overworked laptop to create/color/modify my artworl, be it CGA or traditional, do my schoolwork, and type my stories/concepts. She's also used for a giant Dungeons and Dragons database/automatic map/treasure/city/dungeon/NPC creator (since my parents get pissed at me because of my paper consumption).

However, with the next two months off, I want to resume (or completely recreate) Resurrection, type my creative writing short story that ended up being ninety pages long and counting (my teacher was expecting ten or twelve), and create some more 3d mecha models. If I can't use Shelia, that's all screwed. Yeah, I can use my PS3 to enjoy shows and everything, but there's only so many episodes of anime or chapters of manga before it gets tedious and boring. Even for me. I've tried to use the multiple monitors that my family has, but this one has to be recalibrated every time I want to use it (and my parents use this computer a lot), the one in the shed doesn't even work, and I don't want to invoke my brother's wrath by using the monitor he never uses and is or is not working (which means going through what has to be a wiring nightmare). I don't wanna get a new computer (okay, I wouldn't mind), but I would have to buy another copy of Rossetta Stone because my teacher's copy has reached its max duplication limit. There's $250 down the drain. Not to mention that I would lose all access to my previous CGA creations and Parts Assembler. I would also lose GIMP as well.

I hate my life....
