The Agonising Wait

We met last week,
I was so nervous,
I was trusting you
With the centre of my life.

You promised to call,
You promised to be ready,
Today was to be the day,
What a fail.

When I call you, I get no news,
Only bland, apathetic assurances,
Getting angry solves nothing,
How do you make me feel so helpless?

Life without you is empty,
Incomplete, boring, difficult,
Please understand my feelings,
Don't keep me waiting.

O Sony, return to me my Vaio,
It's been ten days, I can't give you more time.
Don't lose my data, don't mess up my hard drive,
And please, please don't take two weeks.

Things I Wish I Could Do

  1. Play the guitar.
  2. Sing like Kailash Kher
  3. Write songs- really good ones.
  4. Tell funny jokes
  5. On the few occasions that I do manage to think of something funny, not burst out laughing while in the middle of [almost] impressing someone with my wit.

Funny, I thought there'd be more, but I can't think of any right now.

Aside: Why is it that despite amazing leaps and bounds in technology, computers still suck? Or maybe it's just mine. It took 7 minutes to open Microsoft Word and then 9 minutes to close it. And my computer even has a sense of humour.. a very, very bad one. It apparently thinks it's funny to close all my Internet windows (especially if I'm writing or am this close to beating my high score in Snake) and justify it by popping up a message saying "Error Detected".

I don't even have a virus, unless the AVG is also playing a practical joke by hiding the viruses that have infested themselves in my computer.
