OK I KNOW I HAVE SPAMMED TODAY BUT PLZ BEAR WITH ME!! I got my laptop back! I went it to get it, and I thought I would have to purchase the battery separately, but the Genius Bar dude was like "Just open up and check the invoice." Not only did they replace my battery and the logic board, they did multiple cosmetic changes, ie a new top and bottom case, new keyboard- essential my computer is like, almost brand new, since the logic board on a laptop has a lot of the stuff in it. I still don't have a lot of space, but my computer now works AND is super pretty, and for about $100 less than I expected.

I cannot wait to do simple things, like use fucking youtube, and have .gifs load and not freeze and crash my whole browser.

ETA: I AM ACHR0I ON SKYPE. I DON'T HAVE A CAMERA (YET) BUT NOW I AM SKYPEY~~
