In which our hero gets her computer back!!!!!

YEAY!!!! I am SO HAPPY!!! Remember back a while ago when I said I had to use my old HP because I spilled Pepsi in my Alienware and the keyboard didn't work? Well.....a generous friend found a new replacement keyboard online and ordered it for me. And it works. And I am using it right now. I am SO in debt to this friend now. He owns my soul. The trackpad doesn't work, but I have an external mouse anyway and I have wished I could turn it off since I got the thing, so that isn't a problem. I can now take my computer away from the outlet. I can process things.....in a timely manner even. AND I can do my stop motion again. And if I get a job that allows me to work from home, I can do that. This computer isn't as powerful as I  want, mainly because I can't afford the computer I want, but it is leaps and bounds better than the old HP. I bought the HP when I didn't know much about hardware. Needless to say it wasn't what I needed when I got it. It has power issues that don't allow me to unplug it. Ever. So now I have my Alienware back, I can game again. I can take my computer wherever I want. I can go do job applications at the library. I can go write by the river.

Wow, I am being long winded. But I really have no idea how to express how wonderful it is to have this back. I don't know if my friend understands how much he has helped me by doing this for me. As I said, he owns my soul now. Boy is his girlfriend going to be mad. :P

As a side note.....you can still go vote for my video over at the Douglas Adams Tribute Video Contest. I was #2 for a while, but now I am back to #1. Yeay! Let's keep it that way...
