Computer machinations...MUAHHHAAAAHAAAA!!!!!

So I've had this laptop that my friend gave me...since Sept of 2005. A year and 8 months. My AOL wouldn't work on it...call Dell and AOL...talking to Indians in New Delhi...an afternoon on the phone...need a new modem, it seems...I put it under my bed and it collects dust since. Ugh. Last night, I decide to dust it off and plot doing something about it. THEN it dawns on me...DIPSHIT has an internet connection!! Let's try it on THAT! So while he's in the shower last night, i'm eying up all the wires and sockets, giddy as a schoolgirl, but I can't really "get in there" to see if it'll work. I go to bed like it's Xmas Eve, anxiously awaiting morning and his trekking off to work. And, YES...IT WORKS!! Alllllllllllllllllllll this time, it WASN'T the computer, it was just the fucking AOL dial-up connection or whatever the fuck. WHY didn't I think to try his connection before now?!!? I've gone without the net in my apt. for a month, but NOW it's back, baby! Of course, only when Dipshit ain't here...but that's often enough. It's just PERFECT on SO many fronts! Thank Christ I had this epiphany...finally! What it means for YOU, the lucky blog reader, is more ruminations from yours truly! Aren't ya thrilled?!?!
