Of the good: My computer is finally up and running again. Holy Hand Grenade, I cannot verbalize how good it feels to have my baby back. The days were long and dark without my computer and especially without the internetz. But now they've both been returned to me. All Hail.

Of the bad: My computer's been completely wiped. All of my files are gone including, but not limited to, fanfic, cover art, mix art, book formats, family pictures from the last three years (including all of the pictures I took on my trip last summer), and the .avi file of Miss Austen Regrets that I grr arghed. Unfortunately, not everything is backed up, though much of it recoverable (though not all of it). Thankfully all of my music, videos, and tv shows are stored on the external hard drive. I guess this is what I get for being a back-up procrastinator. *sighs*

But all is not doom and gloom. Show is on tonight and the world has been returned to me. Everything else is just details.

Aw geeze, that really bites. But at least you have your computer back. *hugs*

Thanks sweetie. *hugs back*

And I do have my computer back and it is glorious. And now your icon makes me want to eat chocolate, which is always a good thing. =D

Welcome back to the internetz! I've had so many hard drive crashes, I hardly save anything to computers anymore. I'm really sorry you lost your files. :(

You are a very wise woman and I've already taken your advice and started saving things to the external HD.

I don't know how you've remained sane through so many hard drive crashes of your own. Because OMG not have a computer is awful. Who would've thought that being technologically dependent would make one so ... dependent. ;-)

*big hugs* Thanks a ton for all of the commiseration and unending love for both this and everything else. I'm truly blessed to count you among my friends.

You know, I was just thinking that baylorsr must have much if not most of your mix cover art because she's all OCD about cover art on her computer. And ... book cover art--crap, I guess it's probalby only the ones you've got finished at CP. Didn't you post a lot of your trip pictures last summer?

Sorry, I'll stop raining on your gripe parade. Losing computer stuff--especially that much of it, that's that hard to recreate--is horrible, and you should be allowed to just wallow for a bit.

Aawwww, look at you getting your Pollyanna on to help me feel better and remember that the sun'll come up tomorrow. Except that Annie sang that song, not Pollyanna, but you know what I mean. ;-)

In sum: you are awesome and I love you.

Oh, but I feel your pain

Been there, kicked myself. Hugs!

See! I should've learned from your awful experience and backed things up. My brain, sometimes, is downright boggling.

*big hugs* And today is a new, computer-full day!
