Ok, I feel a lot better today.
We got my fried laptop back from the repair shop along with an external USB case for the hard drive. I hooked it up and after some fiddling around with shifty data recovery software, a couple of different computers, and a phone call from my new favourite person Matthew, it seems as though the hard drive was not fried along with the motherboard. 20G of music not lost, years of emails and contacts not sacrificed to the Gods of computer-related stupidity, various stories and articles not eaten. Giddy-up!
Also my ex-boss just called to tell me that she got a reference call for a job I thought for sure I wasn't going to get. It seems I am in the top three.
Finally, something approaching good news.
I want to get a phoenix tatooed on me really bad. Seriously, I've thought about it for years. Some huge orange, Sailor Jerry-looking thing on my forearm. It'll rule.

yeah, that seems to be the general concesus. Plus, I can make all kinds of lame pick-up jokes such as "So, do you want to go study after class?" It'll be like a whole new dialect of pick up lines.
