AHH OMYGOD I HAVE REALLY REALLY BAD NEWS MY READERS WHOM I LOVE AND WOULD UPDATE EVERYDAY FOR IF THE ELECTRONICS GODS OF THE UNIVERSE ALLOWED IT! Let me tell you about the course my life has taken since I last updated.

My sister and I went to the zoo while we were baby-sitting this really cute baby child, which went pretty well (ohmygawd the sea lions were amazing) until we boarded the train to get back to the entrance. See, there's normally a place where you put your carts and stuff, but the lazy ass conductor ignored that section completely and made us put Mychael's (the baby) stroller in a seat. That my purse was hanging on.

I know this has nothing to do with my lack of updates (just plz keep reading- telling you guys makes me feel so much better!) but I'll get to that.

Anyway, when we got back and I sat at my laptop to write (glancing at my new beautiful layout plan that outlines the story completely so that the characters won't run the show anymore that I need to write and keep me from feeling lost and unorganized), I pulled out my ipod for my writing music and found it crushed at the bottom of my purse, screen fragments everywhere.

I was heartbroken. But I still had my library on my laptop, so it was all good. Until my T.V. broke. And my DSi followed soon after. I didn't mind it that much (they were only expensive pieces of electronic equipment, after all…) until it got personal.

My battery on my laptop died. Can't use it, charge it, nothing. I'm writing this on my Mom's computer (which she's not too happy about, but I told her it was urgent.) but I felt I couldn't leave you guys waiting without an explanation.

So, until I replace my battery or some shit, this is it. I'm really sorry for those who thought it was a chapter. I promised myself I'd never do this like some others because I know how much it pissed me off when I saw one of these. I've got like, ¾ of a chapter on my (DEAD) laptop now, so I can promise a fast update within the (hopefully) near future.

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND DON'T GIVE UP ON ME NOW I HAVE TO HURRY AND UPLOAD THIS BEFORE MY MOM COMES BACK INSIDE!
