yes, as the title says, i hath returned from the devastating void of a laptopless existence!! DANCE UNWITTING FOLLOWERS, DANCE! BUWAHAHAHAHA! >:D
Although, technically, right now i still more of a lurker, though i can actually do things about my sites. I simply have not yet gotten my documents put back onto my dear computer...as it is a long process XP And being not yet ready to take on that task, i had put off using my laptop for about a week or so after actually getting from the geeks. Making me even MORE behind than i already. -___-
It seems that when one does a file systems backup, all your items simply get moved into backup file folders, so folders 1-165 on my flashdrive of every individual item i had in all of my documents...meaning no folders, folders within folders within folders, etc. Single file upon single file jammed into folders until they are as full as possible…165 of those completely packed folders on my flashdrive.
So what i will have to do is recreate my previous folders, along with some new ones as i am wanting to assert some further organization. Luckily, to assist me with such a task, i have about 8 burned cds of nearly all of my documents which had been moved over in their folders(though many broken down as the whole original folder was too large to be moved on its own), with these and i see for sure all my file folders names and where they are within all their folders, etc. as well as every item in each. And to be certain that i get all the files in their correct folders, i have been hand writing in a large notebook the folder systems with various bullet points and such with each separate item name written below every folder it belongs to.
As one can imagine, it is a long, time-consuming, fingers, hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow pain inducing task—no kidding, after hours of doing this my whole arm aches relentlessly, with no way of stretch or bone crack or massage of relief.
An unfortunate issue to this however, is that after giving up on this possible climbing mound of cds for my content but before i had gotten my 32GB flashdrive, i had gone through and done a very large file cleaning, removing old or obsolete files and folders, reorganizing some here and there. Just making the overall content as small as possible to assure that everything gets moved over...plus it needed to be done anyways XD In the end, i got rid of somewhere around 2-3 GBs of stuff!
Now clearly, i cannot remember every single thing i got rid of, or necessarily every single thing that was rearranged to a different folder which already existed. Sooo, i still have to write down every item in every folder that my cds have in order to be certain i don't leave anything out. Of course some more obvious things i DO recall getting rid of or moving, which I try to add to the appropriate folder in my notebook. Then once i get to the flashdrive, recreate and move accordingly, and any item i have listed in my notebook document recording but does not exist in the flashdrive content is something i got rid of. Because i am quite positive all my info is on that flashdrive.
A new addition to all the folders i already had, i am establishing even further organization. So I will have new folders created in folder, within folder, etc. to better consolidate very large content files and allow for easier searching through or for a particular image or image type, as well as a few file name changes. Makes for a bit more complication, and the occasional accident of missing something that should have been placed in a previously item written folder...blahblahblah.
A busy process of which i am not even to the halfway point. I haven’t yet even tackled my largest image folder which is COMPLETELY un categorized, just one folder of itty bitty scrollbar pic after pic after pic files which need to be taken down and organized a tad into newly created folders—although in that particular one, most every pic is of the same pairing(not unlike my second largest image folder, but at least that one had category types I could work with), so not a whole lot can be done in the way of segregating. Once that is finished however, i still have my many, equally folder upon folder, etc. photos folders and video files to get to—those videos being too individually big, size wise, to move onto cds, I have no reference for in way of folders, so I shall have to try and go from memory and work with it directly upon flashdrive transferring. Not to mention recreating all of my favorites links...all of which were put into a, still well categorized, word document of about 40 pages.
I may seem to be forcing things into a far worse manner than they perhaps need to, especially to someone else being made to listen to my possibly apparent irate listing of this issue, but nevertheless i like my organization considering the vast quantity of my documents which are literally the majority of my life and I merely do not want any chance of losing something. And you know, the bit of OCD and perfectionism that tangles along with my mental problems…can’t help but want to do so. *giggles a little manically*

That was probably a rather excessively long explanation of something not one of you bizarre people who view this world care one tiny speck of thought about. But whether to your chagrin or not, i enjoy to ramble and it's my place to spurt pointlessness so i will do so at my personal leisure T 3T And anyways, when you have an extremely small about of people in your whole existence, and talk to them even more sparingly, you can't help but want to babble as though someone somewhere cares about it XP
In other less boring news..maybe…
I am sorry that i have missed being able to view over two months’ worth of arts and world posts from all the beings i watch, not getting a chance to thumbs up or fav things. I can do that some now, however i am still trying to be on only a bit at a time until i finish with previously ranted documenting. Being on my laptop without the ability to add things to my favorites(not site favorites, toolbar of internet browser favorites), save images i like to my images folders, write down notes and ideas i get into word docs existent or newly made, write pieces here and there on my many writings, i can't scan in and prepare and put up the maybe a dozen finished arts that i have in my binder—the poor three halloween ones i did…going to be all out of date and behind to the viewing world of ye. NONTHELESS, it shalleth be soon my preciouseses...sooooooonnssss >:3
Oh, to those who watch me with the like of my wallpapers for some reason: while going through every item in my images folders, i have be stricken with quite a few wallie ideas and it has been oh so long since i made one. Perhaps some will be coming, and I do hope while still in this wintery season as several are of said theme. *nodnod*
I already made mention to my art. About 12, i believe, are completed…all lonely for views of mild interest…, and then there is the probably 15 WIPS i have, two of those nearly finished—ramping my completed count to at least 14 by the time I get around to putting things up—, and finally about three or more new ideas i have in my brainses. Hehe...so naughty i ish. >:]

I know I shouldn’t go asking, this post is already lengthy, but I wanna.
How was all your halloweenses and thanksgivingses? that being is you celebrate such, of course…unless you want to talk about things that never happened for the hell of it. XD
Give out your candies, eat your candies, lounge about in an overly elaborate costume when you are only giving out teeth rotting, delicious noms to only about a dozen or so kids the last of which are the older barely tried costumed tweens and teens? I know that’s what I did. Though my costume wasn’t want I intended as I had forgotten that the next day was Halloween and didn’t remember to shower and do my hair the way I wanted for the costume I was intending, sooo I pulled some stuff from my closet and was a slightly different version of a costume I had already done before. I honestly don’t know what I was but one girl asked if I was a zombie so I figured what the hell, I’ll be a zombie…not like I am going anywhere. Knowing we never get very many kids anymore, especially with that utterly stupid Halloween curfew they enacted a few years back, mother only bought a little candy and all the good stuff was put into the trick or treat bowl which I heartily passed out seeing as their would only be a few people to give to. Leaving the only some of the bizarre big bag of little boxed candies, dots, junior mints, junior caramels(awful!), and charleston chews(I don’t get the hype with these way back when, I don’t think they were good). The dots and junior mints were only the good of the bag, though dots are pretty hit and miss in my opinion, those which were gone fast, and the two bags of candies my mother likes—almond joys and smarties. I like smarties fine, but I didn’t partake as they are one of mother’s favs. Feeling very shortended, sleeping all the way up to when I had to pass out the candy, hurrying a costume I hadn’t been planning, only getting a very small time to pass out candy to an equally small amount of people, and not getting any good candy to eat afterwards, I stacked up on bags of things I did like while at the drugstore one eve when getting my meds. Now I have an entire drawer of my nightstand just for candies, like Brenda from The Closer. ^--^ It has a nice chocolaty and peanut butter smell every time I open it. *yumyumnoms* And nice thing about me, is I end my candy slowly as too much sweetness is not wanted by my mouth, I am one who could make a chocolate bar last a month. Hehe.
My thanksgiving was little as well. When with my mother we don’t do much since it is only us three, me, mother, and sibling, and sister and I are picky and don’t really eat leftovers. We each have our own personal Cornish hen, some veggies and fruit, some rolls, my mother and sister have rice stuffing but I don’t care for that XP Then I have a whole bottle of sparkling white grape juice to myself, cause I likes it T 3T, and we get a little pumpkin pie and some vanilla ice cream to go with. However mother gets herself some seasonal peppermint ice cream. And during all such we watch the Harry Potter movies, as they are equated with thanksgiving for some reason with us. Of course, I am glad to avoid a gathering of relatives at my grandmother’s and her dry turkey, but I do miss having turkey and cranberry sauce and her rolls—they are ones my great grandmother used to make…she is too old now, someday I hope to get the recipe without inciting some sort of bonding attempt by my grandma to show me how to make it x___x …I also want her banana bread recipe but same dilemma. But my dad always brings back those for me and sibling :3 In case you couldn’t tell, me and my grandma do not get along, I no like her T –T. And today my sibling makes pumpkin bread.
My holiday life is pretty slow and boring…I am sure you other had more pleasureable times. You all cram large amounts of hearty foods into your mouths until you were unzip your pants full then falling into a post-thanksgiving dinner, watching the parade/football game nap??? Some of you should haves, because as i babbled above, i didn't.
Well, you weirdos must be suffering from an eyesore boredom by now. *nod* I guess you hopefully got some amount of clarification and or sufficient nonsense collection seeing as you all keep viewing this world O-o…
On that note though, I do thank you. Somehow I have maintained my position as 430 out of 15283 worlds. Which I am sure is incredibly low compared to others, since a vast amount of those worlds are likely dead or hardly used, etc. etc. Still. Thanks goobers. :{D *mustache for you*
I am going to shut up now. No need to fear.
>;D
okay, i got the last of the scanned in bunch i did a little while back put up for eyeballs. they are just two rough sketches, but i always really liked them :3
then, i have a bunch of finished works waiting in my binder and an even larger amounts of WIPS that i am trying like hell not to add to eventhough my brain feels like it's full to the brim with ideas x_x HOWEVAH! part of the reason for the withholding was because my sketch book which had to be mutilated, as it was falling apart and the pages organized in a nice binder, and only had about six pages left after some erasing of never to be finished messes, which is now down to...four maybe...so i couldn't let myself do stuff incase something came up! ...yes...a drawing emergency T 3T ..it could happen. But, this evening, after a breakfast dinner at IHOP, we went and replenished my sketch pad stock! i know have two more replacements, as well as a larger horizontal drawing pad for bigger things! i don't know how on earth i will get any drawings from that online as it is almost twice as big as my scanner. -___- but, i will figure something out...even if i have to use magic and a phone camera. excited for it really, because i have some large scale drawing ideas in mind that i couldn't fit on my usual sketch pad page.
in better news, wait..i didn't give bad news. okay, hold on. *digs through enormous folder of life crap* alright then, so my laptop is ill. my guess is that it's terminal, longterm though at least, so i have time to revive it's health. from all the errors i get, all the time, i am betting now that it is indeed a hardrive problem rather than some sort of virus. i mean, your computer driver should not sound like it's puttering...like a little ball that came loose on a circlular, rotating thing with grooves that it bounces on. and according to the very few things i could find online in reference to my specific errors, they are ones that can lead to the evils of blue screens, random shut downs, etc. all things i am familiar with from my last laptop that killed itself as well. i seem to have some horrid technological curse upon me T_T all my stuff keeps screwing itself over.DX i am going to have to back up all my crap..AGAIN..so we can take it in, since it is very likely a wipe or new hardrive or something will have to be done/installed.
NOW, in better news, i have lost some weight!! FINALLY...it's not much really, but it's some and that makes me feel better because for once something turns out the way it should...it's is still, only a small amount, more noticable in my legs because of my bike riding and not my stomach so much which is where i prefer to get rid of T 3T stupid little belly pouch of evil. sooooooooooooo, yeah.
going to go do things now. and maybe some stuff.
