October; My computer almost broke.

General
Okay I think I'd like to share this story since it happened right after I submitted the comic strip;
So I was playing WoW after doing some script writing, and I moved my hand on a bottle of water that spilled on my keyboard. Rather than draining the water like I was SUPPOSED to do, I ended up wiping the keys and blowing on it. (Insert blowjob joke here)
At first things seemed to be natural, until I started moving fifteen minutes later and my taruen started going spastic. Then I logged out and the entire keyboard was going crazy. In panic I had to think of some solution. Which at first was to go to geek squad... but they only covered warranties and my computer was passed it's warranty. But thankfully my dad found a place on google maps that did computer repairs, which saved me from having more of an anxiety attack than I was already having.
I gave it to the guy and he said he'll be able to do it and he'll contact me on the price and when he's got everything settled. This is where I started to learn something about myself; having loosing a computer that was still working but the keyboard was breaking, I realized that many sources of my entertainment, work schedules, and productivity was on a single laptop. And how not having it made me feel a bit weird. Sort of like having a construction worker loose his tools and he could only use a rock and metal spear.
Two weeks of having to deal with a hurricane almost hitting, skeletons in my closet, drawing on paper only to crumble it up after being enraged, and many ideas being left on physical paper to be transferred into my laptop, I got my laptop back today! It took a bit longer since a hurricane almost hit here in Florida, but I understood why things took longer than usual. No doubt that I have 300+ messages on FA and other places and I need to restart this laptop for updates, AND THE SCRIPT STILL ISN'T FINISHED! Which is the main thing I want to get working on.
I'll be sure to use my time wisely today. And hopefully this computer doesn't go through another accident. Though one thing is for sure: Water bottles are banned from my table now...
