The Prodigal Returns!

... for a time.

I can't believe that it has been since before Christmas that I last updated this. Insanity. Granted, considering I have once more been sidetracked by Asian dramas (Mmm... hott Asian guys... ^^) and have therefore been neglecting everything, not the least of which being my WIP fics, it isn't much of a surprise.

In recent news, Collene the Compaq's harddrive finally kicked it on Tuesday, meaning that I no longer have a computer for now. The oh, so prideful Mel managed to swallow said pride, with limited choking, and sought out parental assistance in acquiring a new computer. The parents acquiesced and as soon as the Mel receives the agreed upon financial aid, she will purchase the new laptop and then proceed to pay back the parents in full.

Basically, it will be the same thing I planned to do, except that, instead of saving up the money from my upcoming paychecks to purchase the new computer, I will be paying my folks back in installments from the same. I am both excited and sad. Excited because, well, heck--it's a new computer, who wouldn't be excited? And I will have paid for it all myself by the time I pay my mom and dad back. And sad? Well, what do you expect, hmm? My computer DIED. That thing had sentimental value. One of my classmates is gonna buy it from me and fix it up for his son.

I'm gonna miss Collene.

Anyhow, I must go for now. Maybe I'll check in again before too much later...
