I'm not dead!
Aug. 27th, 2011 09:34 amBut I'm happy to report that my netbook isn't as dead as I thought it was. With some gentle prodding (read: smacking around) I managed to have the screen stay on long enough to back up ALL OF THE THINGS to my hard drive in case the screen never comes on again and I'm cut off from the internet forever. Sad.
In happier news, I FINALLY GOT MY POTTERMORE BETA EMAIL WOOOOOOO~
There isn't much to do now besides going through the first book and finding things, but casting spells and making potions is so interesting and it's real time and you can actually fail and I really like that. :0
Also I'm in Slytherin officially and you just don't know how happy that makes me. :3
Anyway, I have to start getting ready for work. If you managed to make it to the Pottermore beta, leave me your usernames? <3

...because mine is on the fritz. :(
I can honestly do okay without it. I'm staying with my grandma (more news about this in a sec) and she doesn't really have internet access (we can both make internet with our phones), so aside from writing and my music I don't really have a use for it right now. Besides, I'm hoping that once I register for school, I can either get money for a Macbook or get my family to just get me a new laptop for school. That would rock.
I'm just hoping that it decides to work for me when I get home. I have SO MUCH new music on my computer that hasn't made it to my external hard drive, and I'd probably die if I lost it all. D:
About me staying at my grandma's, I'm super happy about this. :D About two years ago, I was staying with her, but she kicked me out for severe laziness, which in normal "not my grandma" language would be just general laziness. :P I'd been trying to suck up the courage to ask her if I could stay with her again while I go to school, because seriously, the worst thing she could do is say no, right? So I did that today and underscored my commitment to abiding by her rules by asking her to write up a contract for me, and she said yes! :D So I'm good to stay for another six months, at least.
