I Wonder If The Stars Regret Me?

I think I've broken my laptop. It's not turning on properly, I mean, it turns on, but I can hear a sound like a 'KerKlank' and then a high pitched whining sound, so... It sounds like it's sort of stuck loading something, or attempting to load something. I could be grossly overreacting, but I'm waiting until my brother comes home (hopefully sometime tomorrow) before I attempt to turn it on again. And if it is something bad... Well.

I'm using the family computer, but my online time is drastically reduced, and I won't be keeping up with the flist or comments or mail until things are sorted out. I'll be reading, just not commenting. :) I have no idea when I'll next be posting, either. I was planning on posting the next chapter of Master and Slave tomorrow, but since it's on my laptop...

So, I just thought I'd let everyone know why I've suddenly gone silent. I will be attempting to not go insane from laptop deprivation and praying that if anything is wrong, it can be fixed, or at least data can be retrieved, because otherwise I'm losing all my stories. Also, I'm very very worried, because if it needs to be fixed, they will discover all my illegal downloads!!!! And the explicit S/B fanarts I've saved, not to mention my fic, of course...

Any good thoughts would be appreciated!!
