This post has nothing to do with Evangelion

I knocked my Maglite flashlight off of my desk shelf and it landed on my laptop, annihilating my computer’s hard drive. So to all you people out there, don’t be stupid like me, don’t ever put a heavy object where it can fall onto and destory a part of your very being.
It’s very strange, for about two or three hours after my computer died, I didn’t know what to do with myself. It was as if part of my soul had been violently ripped from me. Like I was incomplete. I completely lost track of time. I couldn’t go online. I couldn’t check my email. I couldn’t post on forums. I was very sad.
I’ve had this Toshiba Laptop for almost five years. I got it the summer after I graduated from high school. It’s been through so much over the years. I can’t tell you how much this laptop had become entwined into the very fabric of my being. With its destruction, it’s as if it’s the end of an era in my life. I wish I could put some money into getting it back in working order, but it would be too costly. I’m thinking of replacing it with a more current model of Toshiba Satelite. It did me pretty good. Five years is pretty exceptional, especially considering the hell I put it through. I just gotta figure out how I’m going to afford to purchase a new laptop…
Ok, so I lied, this post does have to do with Evangelion, in that I was getting back into Evangelion fandom, and was putting together some new stuff for the site, and just lost the work, and the means to work further on the site. As a college student, I have plenty of computer access, but just not the personal kind where I can multi-task from application to application doing all of the tasks I could conceivably perform in just the manner I would like. So, I don’t know how much I can do on this damned site until I get a new computer. And I was getting pretty close to transferring the forums too. Well isn’t that ironic?
