I swear. my computers are suicidal. A few days ago, my desktop's keyboard's "m" key stopped working (I've been copy-pasting the letter in when I need it).

I'm also a staffer from a local vampires LARP, now, too.
Talk more soon, as I have an 8 page paper due Wednesday, and a seven pager due on Thurs.
