(cautiously) We Are So Back
Jun. 15th, 2026 02:16 pmTwo weeks ago my laptop died horribly and in agony, which threw off my entire routine and life. I do not like being locked to the small screen, especially for important decisions. But today ol' Lappy decided resurrection would be a good idea, so I have a PC again! A very temperamental one, so I need to focus on copying files to move them to a new laptop at some point. It's only been 2 weeks, but it feels like a month... and before my laptop fake-died I was really focused on making a website for a specific purpose I can't say publicly, so that's why I've barely been on Dreamwidth specifically. Hi everypony :3
