[#034] Had a Huge Laptop Scare Yesterday

i. I thought this was going to be it. My laptop has finally given up. It's been 4 years, going into the 5th that I've had this laptop--it's lasted much, much longer than I ever thought it would and because of that (and my numerous files that I am NOW rushing to back-up in my external), I am very very attached to it. T.T Yamapi redux can't die on me yet. (What happened was that I was updating my laptop--stupid Vista and their updates--and for some reason, it was taking longer than it should. I mean, half hour? for ONE update? no way. So i manually restarted. Except it was stuck on the initial "VAIO" screen forever. T.T I thought, holy shit, this is it. Except this morning. Or rather, I even noticed this last night, but the power button wasn't lighting up like it should. Like it wasn't registering it or something. So somehow that prompted me to decided to disconnect then reattach my battery. Then try again. AND IT WORKED. I ALMOST WEPT. T.T.T.T.T.T) After that though, I'm now making steps to back up my laptop because fuck if I'm not going to be prepared next time. :////

ii. Also, I keep forgetting! But now that I'm home and don't really want to have my laptop do anything too strenuous, am doing that 2010 year end meme!~
( 2010 in review! )

iii. And lastly! Meme! DDDD: sad day, it's the last one!
Day One: Write ten lines of dialogue between two characters who had drunken sex last night and are not talking about it. Ever.
Day Two: Write a scene in four sentences in which two characters bond over something that would seem trivial to a passerby.
Day Three: Write seven sentences from the perspective of a passerby witnessing Day Two's scene.
Day Four: Write a character's reaction to someone's love confession in one sentence.
Day Five: Write a scene in eight sentences in which someone's going through his/her version of "It's a Wonderful Life."
Day Six: Write a scene in six sentences in which a character is searching for someone in the last moments of the end of the world.
Day Seven: Write a breakup scene in three sentences without giving the reason for it or using dialogue.
Day Eight: Write two characters' second kiss in two sentences.
Day Nine: Ask flist for prompts. Write one sentence each for the first five prompts you receive.
Day Ten: Use these lyrics as a prompt: "There's only now/There's only here/Give in to love/Or live in fear" ("Another Day" from RENT) and write a story in nine sentences.
(Super Bonus Challenge: Use a different pairing/character each day.)

( I knew as soon as I finished the books, I wanted to use it for this prompt. The Hunger Games trilogy. Peeta/Katniss. )
