to make this clearer

I have a tendency to put RL things in other posts and then no one sees them, so I'll say this:

My computer died last week. I hope to have a new one by November, but given that I also have to move, and therefore have extra rent on hand, I'm not sure that's actually going to happen. I can check email and LJ and things of that nature on the ipod touch, but I can't chat. Those of you who chat with me during the day, awesome. Those of you used to chatting with me in the evening, hey, I'm still emailable and textable! So please, do that, so that I don't completely die of loneliness from not talking to you guys. Or you can just reply to this LJ entry!

Oh man! What a pain. Didn't you move recently? Or am I just really unaware of the passage of time?

I moved in February but the landlord sold the building so we have to move out at the end of the month. Sucks!

[imaginarycircus.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I'm so sorry! I hope you can settle somewhere else for a bit longer.

Since I lived in my last flat for almost 14 years I don't have much cause for complaint! But yeah a little longer will be welcome!

No, but I think moving while in grad school and less than a year in one place! I guess I keep moving and am a little PTSD about the issue. I am very happy we're just waiting for the new copy of our lease to come so we can sign it. I hope the next time we move we'll be buying a place.

Oh, ick. I hope you didn't lose anything important, or anything expendable but much loved.

ziggy1278 says the hard drive is fine so it's just that the thing doesn't work right now. Also happily I've been writing my fics on googledocs so that's all right. It's more the functioning to be honest. But thanks for expressing your concern, that was sweet.

I'm glad you posted -- I've been thinking of you today! I'll try and pop onto chat tomorrow (I don't have appts until 4 p.m.) and check in with you. I'm sorry you have to move -- BLECH.

yay! I'll be around after about noon my time as I teach in the morning. And you are definitely one of the people I've been missing!

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

Wait...move?

The landlord sold the building. Sucks! I don't really like to talk about it much because it's so anxiety making!

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

Oh man. I would do the same thing. Damn.

Hey, do you want to borrow the xo olpc I've got sitting around? This didn't even occur to me the other day.... it is small and slow, but should totally work for web-based chatting, ie Meebo and gchat if you want to try it.

Scott just generously offered me the loan of his laptop, or I would have said yes please, and I still might if his laptop proves to be still having weird problems, which it often does. It occurs to me that the laptop is more than I need for emergency needs, which are really entirely browser-based, like LJ and googledocs and meebo chatting and gmail and facebook. But thank you so much!

sucks that you have to move again! Your apartment is really nice, too...will you stay in the Slope?

[jlh.livejournal.com]

I honestly doubt we'll be able to afford it. We'll definitely still be in Brooklyn, though, and I don't think we'll be all that far away. But we have our fingers crossed!
