Highs and Lows of the Week (8-29-05)

[Lovely]

*sigh* Prepare for rantage in my lows...

Lows Oh so low....
* My 80g external hard drive died-- This has ruined my whole week, perhaps even the month, perhaps even the rest of summer/fall.

Let me elaborate.

My 80g hard drive that was full of about 70g of stuff T_T .

There was a BUNCH of anime on there. A lot of the anime I don't really miss to be honest.
From the stuff I can remember.
Matantei Loki Ragnarok It's liscenced and I plan to buy it when it comes out (Greg Ayres as Heimdall ^^.) The only reason I kept the fansubs around was because I wanted to take screenshots.

One Piece I REALLY would of liked to have seen the Arlong arc again. But... Well, One Piece isn't actually that hard to aquire.

Hunter x Hunter I would of liked to have seen the last arc of the t.v series again. This series IS hard to find for some reason :/ . But meh, I saw it once, I can live with that.

There was other anime too, but for the life of me I can't really remember... lots of "episode 1's" .

No, it's not the loss of anime that upsets me.

It's the loss of all the frikin' music I had on that thing T_T !!!!!
LOTS and LOTS of hard to find anime and game soundtracks. This is stuff that doesn't get torrents a lot. This is stuff that took me a long time to find and aquire. This was basically my ENTIRE music collection.
Suikoden music, Xenosaga's, Yuki Kajiura DISCOGRAPHY, Guilty Gear, Wild Arms, DDR, Pump it Up, A BUNCH of versions of "Simple and Clean", etc...

The thing is, I hardly even had my hard drive PLUGGED IN. when I plug it in it ussually makes a soft but friendly humming noise. Now, It is silent.
ashdgklhsdklgjklshdgkaj! T_T ;_;

Yeah, I'm upset. And since no-one in my family understands these sort of things, I have no one to vent to V_V .

Sorry all.

* My car sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks.

* As a sort of indirect result of Viz's and other companies growing policy of editing manga, I'm finding myself growing distant from my manga hobby. I just find myself unable to take risks on new titles anymore...

Highs
* At least I still have Shadow Hearts:Covenant ;_; .... I've reached the last dungeon, I'm just going around doing sidequests now. And once you open up the last dungeon a LOT of sidequests and areas become available @_@ . It's really fun .

Yeah, that's it, my only high v_v .

Quote of the Week:
Yuri: You can't be serious... Not in such a pure, clean, mega-hit RPG as this...!
XD .

[KuroiInu]

Oh! Poor Lovely-sama! Um... maybe if you created a thread listing some of the songs that you lost, people could help you to recover them. Just type up a list of the ones that you remember, and who knows, maybe people here will know where to get them. I'd be happy to help you if there's anything I can locate.

[Drave]

@ Lovely: Urg, I know how that feels X3;. I just got this machine back from repair/complete erasement of everything a few months ago...

Highs:
- Well, my classes aren't that bad this semester. I'm actually passing Algebra 2 >3.


Lows:
- Kinda sorta wishing I had taken Psycology now.

[Saturn]

Let me just say, it's been one of those weeks...ugh...

Highs
~ bought Guild Wars...I don't think it's as good as WoW to be honest though...

Lows
~ Stayed home sick on Monday, had a terrible cold and pretty much slept the day away. The darn thing is still lingering though...go away cold!
~ Worked Saturday
~ LC's sudden panic attacks
~ I was going to finish my Naruto headband this weekend...but I never got to work on it
~ I'm constantly tired all the time now thanks to being overworked at work.

[kfttjdb]

Oh, Lovely. That is so frustrating. I remember when my computer crashed. *groans* I lost files I didn't even remember I had.

Saturn: I hope you and LC get better. Sounds like you both need rest.

[M.J.]

Highs

~ I wasn't able to go to teh football game... aw well Furu didn't go either and my school's butt got kicked so I don't think I missed out on much.

[Useless]

HIGHS:

-School's back.
-My sister moved up to college (MSU) last week, so all her incessant yelling is gone
-My grandparents are going to China for a month, so they can visit their home village and country before their time comes.

LOWS:

-School's back.
-I'm not really happy with my schedule. I could not get French again, so there goes my fourth year. Also, they gave me a class I already took last year (AP Psychology), so until I get it changed, that class is now a study hall.
-Butcher (the center for my advanced math/science/technology classes) starts tomorrow.
-Most of the people in my three home school classes I do not know well. In two classes, most of them look like loud idiots (hence the "cool" kids) that coast through school with passing grades from remedial courses. Being a guy, though, at least there are nonanorexic lookers in my English class (my smartest class out of the three).
-Been lazy with my college applications, but I just do not want to do them when my "genius" brother is around me (stupid siblings and the expectations they set for the younger ones.....).

[Keyblade]

Highs:
- At Value City, they had some Shaman King action figures for 3-4 dollars. I bought a Horo and an Amidamaru- Expect pictures~

-My Language Arts teacher likes my hair... and my name.

-I might get moved into a different Math class.

-The Tech Ed room has comfy computer chairs instead of stupid wooden ones.

Lows:
-School.

-My Math teacher scares me. T-T

-I'm cross-teamed again. T-T

-Katrina may hit us tommorow.


Err... Lovely... since you've lost all of your versions of Simple and clean... I have all of them and could send them to you...

[Lovely]

Thanks for the offer of music files all. My problem right now is that my regular computer doesn't have much free space... So I can't really try finding all the stuff I lost v_v . (I had mostly FULL albums by the by.)

I could try taking my drive to a computer shop... but I hear they charge a rediculous amount for these sort of things ._. ...
That, and I had a somewhat disturbing journal on there ^^; ....

[Shadowchan]

Okay, this is gonna be Highs/Lows of the past 2 and a half weeks for me, because I've been behind...

Highs:
-Marching band!!
-We've got two foreign exchange students, one from France and one from Germany. They're frikken hilarious.
-Bought the entire season of Mankin on eBay for 40bucks. That has me dancing even now.
-I have surprisingly little homework, considering I'm in 3 AP classes and honors physics.

Lows:
-My bunny died. I cried for three days straight. I don't take loss well
-I feel guilty because I just figured out my previously mentioned Mankin DVDs are bootlegged, and yet I still want them badly.

Quote:
"Natalie has a sexy tail!" -Nina, our German foreign exchange student. Said because my one friend, Nan-chan, was dancing around and had one of those clippy key ring things clipped to the back of her jeans.

Just imagine the aforementioned quote said in a German accent. Frikken hilarious.

[Lobsterdeth]

Highs lol:
-Death Note!!!
-Monster!!!
-Art classes kick ass.

Lows lol:
-Pimples, ugh, three years of puberty without them and they pop up at High School.
-I miss my friends oh so much.
-My so called "friends" at this High School are such assholes.
-Uhm... yeah that's it.

Short list this week

HIGHS:

- I start my new job Tuesday! Absolutely wonderful!


LOWS:

- I start my new job on Tuesday. No more being lazy and no more ridiculous free time. *sheds a tear*

- It's so hot down here I went outside and fried myself some eggs on my front porch this morning. (Okay not really, but it was hot enough for me to put my hands on my hips and say, "Crap it's hot out here!")

- I went to the gas station this afternoon and was angry with the automated attendant for having the nerve to ask me if I wanted to buy a car wash.

I empathise with you Rena, I empathise ...

As a side note, the other day I THINK it was hot enough to fry eggs out on the sidewalk but... my mom wouldn't let me *pouts* ...

[kfttjdb]

LOL, yeah it's gotten so bad (and really sad) that we're all excited because it's supposed to cool to 99 tomorrow...
