Computer problems...update

General
What do you plan on doing with all the rope and that ballgag in you hands?
So, it's official, my HP crapped out on me. :(
My back on the Dell and all it's glory. XP
In case I haven't described the problems with this laptop...
A few years ago I accidentally spilled soda on it and it crashed on me. That's what prompted me to finally get a new computer which ended up being the HP. When that one crashed on me (the problem being internal and forced me to have to get it rebooted, losing everything I had on it at the time, oh and this doesn't include the screen breaking and forcing me to buy a monitor for it XP), I decided out of curiosity to go back to the Dell to see if by some freak chance it still worked. Sure enough it did. But the keys were sticking and it forced me to buy a keyboard. At somepoint the sound then went out and this issue with the SVC Host started happening. I've tried to take measures to fix it myself, but with no luck. :(
So, no it has no sound, slows down due to a bug/virus I can't get rid of (it literally corrupted AVG to the point that it wouldn't get rid of the problem and prevents me from deleting that crappy anti-virus program), it sounds like a muscle car from the 70's when it starts up, and the CD/ROM drive is broken from a very impeccably timed fall. This thing is the perfect example of a computer that has just about everything wrong with it. Yet, it still keeps going. I bad mouth this machine, but it's not all it's fault. I can't help that I'm clumsy, but it can't catch itself if I drop it. This leads me to want to get another Dell when I have the money to buy a new laptop.
Anyway, that's how things are right now. I'll have to see how much it will take to get my HP fixed before I consider a new laptop altogether. It still works, but the screen's connection is messed up, I can't see what I'm doing. From what I can tell, it'll be a major fix and one that might not be able to happen depending on what components are needed to fix it. At some point I'd rather have a new one anyway, but I want to see how effective and efficient Windows 8 is first.
So, communication is a little limited. Skype might still work, but Steam is a no go. So, for those of my friends who chat with my on Steam, if you have Skype, you might be able to find me there, if this computer allows.
You can also still find me on PSN. My PS3 of course is working and so much fun to play! ^_^
Playing a lot of Saints Row 3. I may upload my character just so you can see what I'm seeing whenever I play it. I think you'll all approve. ;)
Also playing Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles. I gotta say, I wasn't sold on the Arcade Shooter variation on the classic RE games, but it's grown on me. After all, I loved playing those kinds of games back in the day. I got good enough on House of the Dead at one point to be Ranked #1 on the machine at my work. That said, I admit I miss the exploration and mystery of the original games. Made them much more creepy. Hell, my friends and I couldn't sleep after playing the first RE for an hour, it scared us so much. XD
So, if you haven't added me yet, and I know you haven't as my friend's list is empty of friends and requests, ADD ME!
My gamer tag is: Jessie_Lockhart
As for writing, well my job is looking like it's full time, though it's kind of hectic. And the store hasn't even opened yet. Well, technically it just did. :P
Anyway, that has my working a good 30-40 hours it would seem and that combined with PS3 leaves little room for writing, but I want to write more so I'll find a way to squeeze in a couple pages now and then in between working and gaming.

On a side note, would you mind if I added you on Skype and chatted you up sometime? :D
I suppose so. I'm not sure if it will work on this computer though, so I might not be on it for awhile. :P
And it's not so much that it's all half built, it's just the technology advances so damn fast it only takes a couple of years for something better to come out and render what you have obsolete. XD I bought my computer like a year before USB 3 became the standard on everything. >_>
