Nevermind the title. I am just slightly bitter right now, because....
So, we had a thunderstorm above Stockholm yesterday. Lightning struck near my house and my computer has gone from fine to deep fried. I blame myself partly for that since I left my computer on when I left the house on Saturday to go out and eat with my family (Mongolian BBQ, yum). I didn't return home after that, but went to a friend's house for a movie night since I received an invitation by the dinner table.
Basically, this means to say that my computer was still on when the lightning struck and sent a whole lot of crap into the system in our house. Our router and modem were destroyed as well. Every other computer made it. Mine was the only one that didn't make it.
That means my computer access has been dramatically restricted. I can only access internet at school until our internet provider sends us a new modem, and until we may have my computer replaced through our insurance. We'll see how that goes.
So yeah. Absence, ahoy.
*bitter grumbling*

I noticed the rain, but I didn't notice any lightning. Gawd, you must have been unlucky. Of course I slept all day, but. . . Still.

Don't worry, we won't run rampant while you're gone. Take care.
Oh - and sorry for this, but I can't resist. The title reminded me.

Oh... damn, that is really unlucky and... sad? well let's see the insurance come through, eh? *mumbles something about all of them being rip offs and that it's better to not pay for any*

The lightning struck pretty bad in many areas around Stockholm. The power went out in parts of Vallentuna, Täby... And it struck down all the way out on Ekerö, too, where I was when it started.
Oh, and Etmosril.... That was the face I made after spending an hour trying to revive my computer. >:

That's strange. Sollentuna, where I live, borders to Täby and is not far from Vallentuna. How come I didn't notice anything?

Well. I have news.
My computer is perma-dead. There's no insurance to cover it, as it looks right now. Our router is still broken, which means we are limited to one internet-capable computer at any one time until we have bought a new one.
Good news, though, is that the modem seems to be working. Slightly. And only on some computers. So I might just be able to sneak on sometimes to get some time on the forums, at least. Not on WoW, yet. I'm currently leeching off of my brother's computer and his internet. C:
But yeah. It will be a while until I can return completely...
I am very sad.
I miss you, guys. Q.Q
