Why you should never leave half a glass of water on a side table when Rogue is around...

Because he will knock it over and, because of my luck, it will go on my laptop. This time, the keys were safe (we all remember what happened with the coffee...) but the mouse was not so. The water had gone under the edges so it was going screwy when I moved my finger over the pad thingy. So, clever me goes "Well, I can just wait until it dries out, or I can take off that little silver surrounding bit, since I know it moves." Of course, I have no patience, so I pop off the silver bit and lo and behold, there's water around the edges, which is of course what's making the arrow go screwy, because it upsets the sensor current or something.

ANYWAY! I wipe it off! Yay for me! The pad is working fine. I try several times to get the silver bit back on, and when I finally do, it's not sitting right and the arrow will barely move when I touch the pad. O.o So I give it a jiggle. Now the arrow will move, but it slings back again when I take my finger off. >_< So I take the silver bit off again and jiggle around the pad until the touch-sensor is right, but now the left-click button isn't working! :O Oh no!

SO I take off the click buttons as well. They are very nifty, you know. They're connected to each other, and have three little holes at the top which go over pins so they stay still. Underneath the buttons are two very little buttons which obviously sense the click. By now I have plugged in a USB mouse I have so I can talk to Mel so she doesn't think I'm ignoring her, so I move the arrow to the chat-window button with the USB mouse and press the little left-click button. Nothing happens. o.O Right-click one works fine. I'm like WHAAAAAAAAAAT?! What have I done?! So I carefully lift up the touch-pad. There's some technological stuff and wotnot, but no water or anything that might have effected the left-click. So I lay it back down and (I don't know why) but the left-click is working again! O.O??????? So I just count my blessings, because now the touch-pad is working fine and the clicky little buttons are working again. Now I just have to put back in the click keys and the silver surround bit without fucking something up again.

But some absolute miracle, I do! And I have now learned never to leave water lying around. Or, if I do, never to try and "fix" things. >_< Hooray for me.

In other news, Manifest is back on! Well, we think anyway. >_< We're just waiting to find out if Shar is going to figure out what exactly is going on! But hopefully Mel and I will definitely be going now! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
