Death by aspartame? Not just a theory anymore!

I might have finally found a reason curse Diet Coke. Although for a majority of my life it has provided my otherwise depressing and sad existence a sense of bliss, happiness and constant burpy delight, it has recently stabbed me in the back. Traitor! It has ruined my life (for the moment). It attacked then proceeded to flood and murder my laptop using its only weapon : its syrupy goodness. Okay so maybe the Diet Coke didn’t do this purposefully and without accomplices but I must blame my loss and distress on it, because I certainly can’t comprehend I did this to myself. Basically its as you have now inferred (cuz you’re so smart) - somehow the entire contents of a 20 oz Diet Coke found its way from the top of chest of drawers directly onto my computer without my knowledge for an unknown period of time before it was discovered. To my avail I was too late. My 'puter is gone. Yes I tried to do the whole turn it off and fan it out for 24 hours and such… only to then find out that I actually should have “washed it out” (what the?!) with water first because since it was Diet Coke and not water all the syrup is dried up all in my motherboard… and I just helped it dry up faster by fanning it out. Go me! Whatever. So ALL of my pictures from the past three years of my life are GONE (do NOT ask me if I "back up") along with all my music, links, documents, ten whole chapters from the novel I was starting to write (okay so there is no novel but I thought it would make it sound more dramatic if I had had one), and it breaks my heart... especially considering there is no money I can foresee coming into my presence in the next ten years or so to be able replace it. So for now I am using my sister’s old one that is giznhetto and totally possessed… as every third word I type the exorcist computer decides to hop it around the screen and insert it wherever it wishes and deliberately distract my task at hand. So seriously any typos (or offensive/weird/random phrases) are not my fault. Blame the terrible (yet wonderful) Diet Coke! Man Coca Cola Zero is looking better every minute...
