After practically a month passed, I finally took my laptop in to the local Toshiba repair centers, and luckily Toshiba is doing the Bios password repairs for free until December 31st, 2010! This is great because I'm literally broke - I have five dollars in my savings account, plus roughly fifteen thousand dollars in student loan debt that I have to start paying back, plus I owe my parents over a thousand dollars for various things. While my parents are nice enough to let me stay in their house free of rent, feed me, and let me drive the car which they pay insurance on & fill up with gas, paying for repairs on my laptop just so I can carry it around places to catch WiFi, as well as using it at home in preference to their shitty desktop.
...Also my parents pay for the Tracfone I use now (god I hate that thing). Basically I am a little leech on their lives right now. I suck as a daughter, in all ways. Moving on.
I suppose the thing I love best about having my laptop back...well, there are many things. For example, I just carried it to Whitworth tonight so I could sit down for an hour or two after the weekly Dungeons and Dragons campaign I am a part of and download some musics. Downloaded a new episode of House as well, so I am almost caught up (squee!). Oddly (conveniently) my username and password to Whitworth's student wireless network still work (as opposed to their guest network).
I also love the fact that I'm the only one who uses this computer, as opposed to the desktop I've been using for the past month (which several people use). So I can feel free to stay logged in to all my various social networking sites, etc, on here, instead of logging out to ensure my privacy is secure, and having to log back in to everything every fucking time I reopen the browser.
Another fantastic thing - the browser. NO MORE INTERNET EXPLORER, FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE! I could cry for sheer joy.
I'm a happy camper right now, basically.
