So this happened
Sep. 10th, 2013 11:44 amI finally caved to buy a re-furbished desktop. I kid you not when I tell you it looks like it's from 1982 and I could successfully land the space shuttle with it. "THE GUY" says that's because it's all custom components. I know he's lying and he just won the LONGSTANDING bet with his buddies to see who could unload this MONSTER. He convinced me it had twice the processing speed as the slim profile hp that was sitting next to it in it's shadow. It looks like it eats those things for breakfast.
It came with free data transfer. YAY!!! I needed that as my life has been locked inside this hard drive for a year. I needed access to my music back and my precious playlists, my podfic, my porn, my Jensen pics. I STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL THESE THINGS TO HIM. I have NO SHAME where this is concerned. I leave my computer in his trusty hands and go on vacation.
So I have some bad news he says. Your hard drive was shot.
WTF???? No, it's not, you very clearly told me it was my motherboard when I brought it to you a year ago.
Well your motherboard is gone too. I mean I tried for 3 hours on numerous different machines and I couldn't retrieve anything.
I just stared at him. HARD. Until he started to shrink away from me. I had to stop myself from just throwing myself to the ground. It was like I was dead inside....and then he says...I think your life will go on.
Mine will, but I'm not so sure about his.
*I have downloaded 3 different programs and managed to get back 80% of my "illegal" music from my ipod
*I have downloaded my fanvids from my ipod
*I am slowly working on re-uploading all of my cds because for whatever weird reason that is the stuff that ended up in a 5,000 song unknown file
*I have lost my working playlist titles which for the most part where favorite beautiful lines from fanfic that made my Sam/Dean heart sing
This means I must start at the beginning and re-read ALL THE FANFIC for retrieval purposes ;P
*I had ONE THING in my life backed up, this will surprise no-one, 4,305 pictures of Jensen on an 8G zip drive
PRIORITIES PEOPLE!!!!!!
