Technology

At last! I am once again able to blog. My computer has been experiencing some issues...as usual. As a matter of fact, last night my computer froze as I was trying to email something to myself. The mouse paused like a dog suddenly jerked back by a forgotten chain and my stomach sank. Then the screen slowly began to fade. Unevenly! My computer is so messed up that the halves don't even freeze at the same rate! I groaned over the whirring hum of the laptop. It sounded louder than a speeding semi truck, which probably wasn't a good thing. Stabbing the mouse pad, I tried, and failed, to stun the computer into waking up again. The screen went black. Giving up, I slammed the screen shut with a bang that echoed around my small room, bouncing back and forth between my bookshelf and dresser. Muttering about how technology always has dangers of failing, I begged my mom to let me use her laptop. I'm not sure which did it, the clasping of the hands or the look of desperation, but she set her laptop on my desk. I stared at the sleek black cover, so different from the boxy gray look of my own laptop. Gently opening it under my mother's watchful eyes, I sent the email and obediently returned the laptop. Maybe someday I will get one of those...
