Woe is Me

Four months no bloggie, what could possibly bring our Naomi Skosh Vickie Diablos back? If getting a semi-scholarship privilege invitation from the Uni couldn’t; if achieving the “Kind of a Big Deal” title in Guild Wars couldn’t; if becoming a land owner for the first time in Second Life couldn’t; if finally managing to run Command & Conquer The First Decade on the computer after an 8-month struggle couldn’t; if experiencing a cockroach dropping from nowhere and crawling on my nekkid bum in the shower couldn’t…

Oooh I know! How about witnessing the motherboard of my only computer burst into flames, literally?

Woe!

    Sorry to hear about your motherboard getting destoryed. Still at least you appear to have a new one and are back into the Internet community.

    Land owner on Second Life you say… Hmm… I’ll have to see if I can hunt you down. ;-)

    Heh. My motherboard did more than that. When I had it replaced, I hope Apple sent it back to the depths of hell from which it came! =)

    The fire and the cockroach incidents do sound very tragic, yet they also sound too comical not to write about. I feel sorry for you, but they brought you back so I’m half thankful. Congrats on the invitation and the progress!

    Wow it sure sounds like a lot has happened in your life in four months! Congratulations on all the fabulous achievements! I believe that if you haven’t blogged in a while, you get into a habit of it, so even if something good comes along, you’re too lazy to blog about it.

    Holy crap o_O That sounds really scary! Oh, and well done on the scholarship - I was looking at the University of Sydney, but the course I want to do isn’t available to international students :( Anyway, congratulations!

    Holy SHAT, are you serious?
    .. Although, if I think about it, having a cockroach drop on me would deliver a more tragic, horrific, and devastating chain of events.

    How did your motherboard burst into flames?! you either overclocked the CPU or your fan died! Or could it be the common *grr horrible computer lights match* fiasco!?

    Wow! Thats definately NOT good. I hope that you are able to get a new motherboard & get it fixed :) Site looks good, I really like it.

    Oh my, your computer’s motherboard burst into flames? Geez, I really wouldn’t know what to do if that happened to me… although, it’d give me a valid excuse to splurge on a new computer :)

    That thing with your computer sounds nasty, hopefully everything is ok now.

    If the cockroach thing happened to me, I swear I’ll just drop dead. I’m freaking afraid of those.

    OMG. Bursting into flames.
