R.I.P

So my PC was formatted. YAY! 

Windows 7 = Faster PC. YAY!

Faster PC = Less tantrum throwing. YAY! 

Back-up CDs. Check.

All folders. Check.

Everything backed-up. Che-WAIT!

Too late. :)

So the back-up CDs had everything BUT my folder. How great, eh? :D

Here I am, mourning for my folder the way I would for a lost love. I mean, that folder was basically my LIFE. All sorts of pictures, ranging from as old as 2008 and to the just-yesterday-clicked pictures. Then I had ALL my writings in the folder. Majority of them were just drafted on the PC. I don't even have copies of them. Honestly, this is the shittiest thing I've experienced. Who would've known that just losing a folder would mean so much?

Meanwhile, I'm trying to recover it all through some software thing that I have no clue about. I never even knew I'd be here trying to recover it. When I first found out that my folder's gone, I just sulked. Then comes my brother to the rescue! I felt so dumb. :S I don't even know a thing about computers. :P

Yeah, so about the recovery of my folder, it's taking ages. I have to literally go through everything to just find my stuff. It won't handpick for me. I'm doing the scan for like the gazillion-th time, all thanks to the 'not responding' messages flashed in front of my eyes (they weren't 'flashed' but..you get the point). So I'm taking it all bit by bit and breaking it down into fragments and then scanning. Like right now, the scan's being done just for JPEG files and it's been kept for over an hour and it's still scanning. :) There are scans going on for  276,424,496 lost files at the moment and I'm not even exaggerating. That's the real number. God knows if the pictures will even be recoverable. Mostly, I just want all of my writings in one piece. This is tragic. Those writings were all fragments of me in my happy, vulnerable, angry, sad, depressed or whatever state. All those poems and short stories (which were really not amazing but were still close), written since 2007 till date. 

Damn this sucks. -.-'


Song of the day: Adam Lambert - Broken Open [does not refer to any emotional state of mine. It's just stuck in my head today (even though today just started :P)] 

Edit: They're not the number of files. They're some sort of blocks. Is there any difference? :/
