So my desktop is completely dead.

Well, by "completely dead" I mean it won't start up.

And by "won't start up" I mean it gets to the "now loading personal settings" screen, then freezes. Or if it's in a really good mood, it'll load windows, then freeze, but it hasn't gotten that far in a few days.

Several people have told me there are ways to recover my files and move them over to my laptop, so I'm optimistic about that, but I don't know how to do that myself, and I don't know how much it'll cost to pay someone to do it. So I don't know. But I really really don't want to lose all my doll pictures, or the 3,000 songs I've collected over the past ten years.

And I don't have my programs, so no photoshop to edit dollie pics, and no front page to make story pages with. .-_-

I seriously hate my life.

Well, I was able to download a version of photoshop, but it's only a 30-day trial. And I think I still have my old disk for front page, but fuck if I know where it is. I'll have to see if I can find it. If not.. I don't know. I'll learn to html by hand or something.

But wait! It gets better!

As of last night, I no longer have internet in my room. Something's fucked up, YET AGAIN! Yey! So now I can't even get on on my laptop at home.

Huzzah for Starbucks!

And if I weren't already in a bad enough mood, somebody decided to start doing laundry at SEVEN-FUCKING-THIRTY IN THE MORNING. That's early even for a normal person, but for someone who goes to bed at 4am? FUCK YOU.

It is important to realize the only thing separating my room from the laundry room is a piece of wood about 3cm thick.

But, you know, god forbid anyone have any consideration for anyone else in that fucking house.


..... Aha. And now a couple of shitheads just brought a bunch of noisy kids. Into Starbucks. Fabulous.


Somebody kill me.

Please.

There's a way to recover the stuff, but hell if I know how. Maybe you should try a full reinstall of the OS? That seemed to help my computer.

Um, but best of luck getting all that stuff back. *crosses fingers*

Also, html by hand is so much better than front page. I swear that program stuffs five billion lines of useless crap into the codes. I personally prefer hand coding the stuff.

Clearing, you're in need of earplugs. ;___;

Urg... .... I want to say I'm pretty positive if I start dicking around with it, I'm going to ruin it for sure, but at this point it can't get much worse. But before I do anything, I'm going to consult an expert or two about retrieving my stuff. .;___; My brother-in-law fixes computers for a living, and he's usually willing to help, but... I'm not very close with him (actually, I'm pretty sure he hates me.. .>_> ), so I'm trying to drop not-so-subtle hints to my sister to see if she'll ask him for me. *sigh* I just... really, really don't want to lose all those pictures. .;_; I have so many cute ones that I haven't uploaded anywhere yet.

But thank you. .;_;

Eeeheh..... Except I don't know how to hand code html, and am currently too lazy to learn how to do so. But I did find my Front Page 2000 (old program is old..), so I have that.. ........
Though it would be pretty awesome to know how to do it myself.... So if it's not too complicated, maybe I'll learn it anyway. I'm pretty sure I saw books about it at the library.

Ah, and, luckily, breeder family didn't stick around long.

Html is pretty easy. At least for basic webpage designing. Might need actual documentation if you're doing a full out website for a company or something, but if it's just html (without the fancy schmancy java stuff), things are pretty intuitive.
