crisis time!

Not much of an update, just random happenings. I was just writing up a script for a minicomic TJ and I were talking about making for a con in January when I made a typo. No big deal, right? I hit backspace.

And nothing happened. Again and again I pounded on the key, but to no avail; it was like I was in the middle of and RPG and my memory card fried. I have to live with all of my mistakes, just like in real life! This is horrible! Not only that, but G stopped working! Probably other keys, too, but that was enough right there to cause alarm. With hope in my heart, I reboot the laptop.

Around 10 minutes later, XP was booted up (this computer is way too slow), and my hopes were dashed. With a heavy heart, I pursued the last option available before getting a new keyboard: the venerable google search bar in firefox (thank God for that. Imagine trying to get to google without a G key!). Anyways, the first result was from Yahoo answers, and described my problem almost exactly. The only answer was to shake the keyboard to get out crumbs in the keyboard; I couldn't this see applying to me, as I've never eaten while working on this laptop. However, I did see that he was using an HP, just like me, so I held my keyboard up so I could check my model number to see if they matched. They didn't, but all of a sudden, my backspace was working! My G was, too! It's like it just started working like magic! You know, right after I started moving the lap..top..... Shit. I'm a slob and didn't even realize it. Go me.
