Current mood:

Shiiiiit.

Ack.
So, one of the things I've been afraid of for a while now has finally happened. One of the hinges on my laptop broke.

Not completely, mind you, but enough to be an inconvenience. It looks like the part of the computer's body the hinge was screwed to kinda snapped off. So now, whenever I try to open the thing, it tries to yank up a piece of the computer's casing with it. AND it broke off the casing that was COVERING that hinge. Ech.

I really wish I could afford to repair or replace this thing. It's had me walking on eggshells for a while now, and I honestly don't know what to do with it.

Trading it in isn't an option. Computers lose value really fast, and I've had this thing for several years now... and any value it might have had is now officially shot to hell, thanks to these latest developments.

Obviously it still works-- fairly well-- or I wouldn't be able to be posting this. But yeah, it's less than comforting to know that my computer is falling apart.
