Currently posting from Pink's computer (and no, I didn't almost post to lj as her - but she logged off before she gave me the computer.)
The search for a system disk is going slowly. It's not helped by the fact that between fencing and clothing restoration, I don't really have any free time.
I had another dream about Lucinda last night - she wasn't fixed, but somehow I'd gotten into the desktop and could do things like make sure that I had a backup of everything.
On the subject of backups, that's first on my list of things to do if/when my computer ever works again. And not just some things to the internet, or everything to the second hard drive, but a proper backup to the funny, extra-thick not-floppy disks (never mind that Lucinda is the only computer I've ever seen that takes such disks, and that before I had Lucinda, I'd never seen a disk like that - it would be better than having everything on a nonfunctional computer.)
Second - send an e-mail to my extended family and friends at home telling them that I'm fine and arrived at school safely and so on (while I called my parents, I haven't talked to anyone else since I got here). In fact, maybe I should send that e-mail before Lucinda is fixed. I could do that right now. In which case that would be an e-mail telling them that I once again have a computer.
Third - post to lj and tell all you
Fourth - check e-mail and procrastinate on my own computer.
In other news, I refuse to be on an emotional rollercoaster just because my computer is broken. Now I just need to actually follow that resolution.
