I feel for you Festive. I was stupid enough to drink red wine last Midsummer and my friend was stupid enough to take zir MacBook to a cottage full of drinking people. I wasn't even drunk, but yet somehow managed to spill the wine on the laptop. I had to pay ze 650 for the new one (the rest was covered by zir insurance) and an additional 80 for Office for Mac.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
