Of bad luck and good luck  
I'm warning you, there's a lot of ranting in the first part of this post - feel free to scroll down a bit - LOL cause I'm officially the most unlucky person in the world.

Okay, bad news or good news first?
My laptop crashed last Thursday.  I had to replace the speakers and power button that weren't working anymore back in July so I already decided to wait until I got back from the holydays to do a little back-up first and then to get it fixed. Well, it crashed completely on me the other day and I had to take it to tech support. Which bugs me cause I really barely had the time to save a few things only. Most of my files are in there so i really hope they can save something, otherwise I'll lose all my pictures and vids and UNI docs and everithing. *sighs heavily*
I'll call in a few hours to know what the verdict is.  Keep your fingers crossed for me, please.
I still have the warranty validation period so if the problem isn't fixable I'll send it to the HP general tech support and they'll probably give me a new one or re-boot mine from scratch. I honestly hope the tech-guys were able to fix at least the speakers and power button, so that I can have it back, save all my junk and then send it to HP support so they'll do what needs to be done.
Plus, since apparently my bad luck isn't enough as it is..my old computer died too just a day after, so after getting all hysterical and grumpy and survive a fight with my Mom about this whole thing, I basically begged my cousin to let me borrow her pc and she was that sweet to bring it to me. She doens't have any internet connection at the house at the moment, so it would be useless for her to have a pc at home anyway. She can come here whenever she wants to use it, of course! Actually she was here all Saturday afternoon LOL
She even created an account just for me and named it 'Ele & Edward', which is the cutest thing ever! *huggles her cousin*
And I probably won't bother fixing that one too. it's very very old and very slow, so I don't want to waste money on something that's not worth it.

On the bright side..and a very BRIGHT one!
As I already posted before, I was so thrilled to have the chance to go, but I didn't dare say a word until I got my ticket.
Selling begun at 11a.m. on Oct 7th and the tickets for the Twilight event got sold out (SOLD OUT, people!!) in less than an hour. Less than a freaking hour!! Mostly because the event will take place in the middle sized hall which counts up about to 1200 seats (Oh but, of course High School Musical got the bigger one *taps her feet on the gound*).
I was lucky enough to buy mine online and find a seat in the 9th row, which is absolutely fucktastic!
I'm sorry a few of my friends got their seats in the back  or up in the galleries. Seating placement was absolutely random, both if you got the tickets online or directly on the Festival location ticket office, like some of my friends did. Randomness is really stupid. If you get somewhere first, you should get the best placement, right?
Well, the most important thing is that we're all set and ready to melt in our seats at the very first sight of Robert, Kristen and Catherine in almost less than 15 days.
I still can't believe I'm going to see them in the flesh. OMG!

*insert crazy-fangirl moment here*

 
Btw, I'm going to leave for Rome a few days before the event, probably on Monday 27th, to spend some time with my friend Chiara ans visit the city (I've been there twice but just for one day and I didn't really have the chance to see a thing aside from the Colosseo and the Olimpic Stadium) before we get stuck in this whole Twilight frenzy LOL and I should be back on Nov 2nd
Yes, I'll do my best to take tons of pictures and vids from the event.


I'll get back to you before I leave for Rome, anyway.
Now I gotta go 'cause - among other things - I have an exam on Wed so I better go to bed and rest a bit before I have to wake up again to put my nose on Hystory books once more.
 
 
Feel: indescribable

Oh no, how awful! You're the 2nd person on my flist to have her computer crash on her this week. Was it a virus, or something else? As someone who's had her computer crash on her before and was worried sick about losing all her data, I sure hope they manage to fix it for you and restore everything. *fingers crossed*

Yes, I'll do my best to take tons of pictures and vids from the event.
How did you know I was gonna ask that?? Mind reader!! ;D

Good luck on your exam!

Aww always so sweet, Morly! Thanks for the support!
I remember reading you had a few issues with your pc a while ago. It's frustrating.
I actually got kind of good news from the tech support guys the other day. They said the HD isn't damaged and they can restore the machine to give me the chance to do a back-up of my files before sending it to HP tech support to fix everything the proper way.
I have to call back in the morning, since I was away doing that exam today, to know when exactly going and get it, though.

PS: yes, I'm a mind reader LOL actually I'm kind of a mix betweed Edward and Alice..you can call me Elice LOL

Sigh sigh guarda mejo che non parlo.
La mia sfiga mi precede, altro che fama.

Comunque pare buone news. Mi han detto che l'HD possono farlo ripartire e che dovrei potermelo portare a casa domani, se tutto va bene (li devo chiamare domattina) così posso fare backup e poi rimandarlo all'assistenza della HP così mi riparano pure altoparlanti e il tasto power.
Sperem.

YAYYYYY per Roma *wub* -14

Bimba,
sì... la prima parte delle bad news già la sapevo, ma certo il tempismo del secondo PC è stato stratosferico. o.O
Ti capisco benissimo...
Quello che posso dirti è di pensare sempre positivo e vedrai che non ci sarà nulla di cui preoccuparsi. ^^
Se si sta preoccupati in negativo è peggio.
Certo che Lauretta è stata davvero dolcissima... *.*
Per la zona bright... beh, bellissimo!!! *.*

Re: o.O
Com'è andata, ciccina?
Per simpatia, sto avendo anche io qualche problema con "mio figlio"! :'(
Poi ti dico, ma spero non sia nulla... già ho abbastanza pensieri per la testa e ci manca solo questa. -.-"
TVB! :*

Re: o.O
E' andata che..l'ho dovuto mandare all'assistenza HP, e non so quando me lo ridanno. Probabilmente non prima di fine novembre :(

Perlomeno son riuscita a recuperare quasi tutto..se non altro tutte le foto <3

Che ha il tuo pc di preciso?? Che fa vuoi dare solidarietà al mio??

Re: o.O
Tengo le dita incrociate che te lo ridiano prima... fallo anche tu! ;)
Allora, poi me le devi mandareee! *.*
Sì, mi sa che si è preso di invidia... spero di no! XD
Praticamente, ogni tanto mi balla lo schermo... lo fa ogni tanto, non sempre. Solo che nel mio laptop è montata la scheda NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, che è una scheda difettata (la NVIDIA lo ha ammesso da poco) e che stanno mandando quasi tutti in garanzia (presente anche in altri laptop, tipo Apple, ecc...) con sintomi tipo quello che sta dando a me. -.-" La mia, comunque, al momento è una cosa lieve... voglio dire... non è matematico che mi succeda e che sia questo, anche se molti stanno avendo questo problema, ci saranno quelle poche buone. Intanto, ho aggiornato i driver ed il bios... pare e dico PARE non farlo più! ^^ Quindi, mi concentro così positivamente e vediamo... male che vada, ho ancora altri 3 anni di garanzia! XD Più che altro, è lo stesso una palla colossale, perché devi chiamare il centro assistenza (a pagamento... 199) e stare lì a fare prove con un tecnico, finché non lo convinci che il problema è reale e ti da un codice per mandarlo in garanzia. Poi, non so che tempi abbiano... Fra l'altro, essendo una cosa random, non capisco come potrei convincerlo che il problema è reale... :/ Vabbé... intanto, da ieri ho i driver ed il bios aggiornato... penso positivo e spero che fosse solo quello il problema! :D
Cerca di pensare positivo anche tu... così si possono cambiare le cose! :D Sono fatta molto "orientale" come pensieri, ultimamente... ^^
