Pfft, everyone knows an iPhone will make you healthy because of all the wonderful apps you can download to track your exercise progress as well as biorhythms.

So I have this semi self medicating process in which I type whatever thoughts I feel are notable for the day (Memory or otherwise, I'm not quite so sure: I don't really go back to read them, so...)

And like an idiot, I had not saved it.

And fun thing happened: Computer just fucking froze and only the audio was left and even then, I could do NOTHING besides hear the audio, the keyboard didn't respond, the screen didn't either, so.... all gone.

Fun.

That sucks ice. I assume based on the fact you're here that you've gotten it to work again?

Well, the computer's fine, yes: Just feeling really goddamn sour from that and from the small weird feeling that a part of me has exited myself because today's thoughts were just gone because of a compounding of shitty decisions and one bad thing happening to punish those decisions.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Recommend a journal for that, tbh. There's something cathartic about actually physically writing things down, or at least so I've found. Good luck with that, sorry on the computer freeze.

That does suck ice cubes. I'm sorry that it's got you down. Perhaps what you need is a journal? Not one on the computer, but a notebook in which you write these things down. I have one. It works wonders.

Well, I suck at writing legibly and quickly, hence computer, and it feels at least cathartic to me to be typing and just how you type as well, perhaps, though maybe it's good to write physically if only so that I don't have this sentiment of the computer being the centre of everything in my life.

Thanks. It's up right now, so it should be fine. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, though considering what had happened, I will hopefully be less caught off guard and have that not result in a file containing my daily thoughts to be completely gone.

I have sloppy handwriting, but if I slow down a tad my printing is stellar, if I do say so myself. I prefer to write on the computer as opposed to long hand, but the journal never needs a battery or a reset. Plus, there are some really awesome journals you can buy at the bookstores.

Like I said, it's fine: Most of the issue is that I never saved the file initially and was going to save it at the end of the day, which was my mistake and if I'd saved at the beginning of the day, I could've saved myself this momentary headache.

But who knows, might find myself writing physically at some point, though that point's not now.

I'm also trying to remind myself not to feel sucky about it and think "Well ultimately, doing stuff is better than... not doing, a lot of the latter involving mulling over what's happened, so... yeah."

That's been shaken a little, but I should be fine.

Well, my laptop's currently got a pretty good battery life right now (Privilege of being upper middle class being that your parents can offer to buy you a new laptop as a birthday present... I guess especially because your previous one just died on you ), but that is true, yes.

That's good, then. Make sure you save. If my time on NS has taught me anything, save save save! I cannot tell you how many long-winded posts I've written that have been eaten by the timeout.

Life's a piece of shit when you look at it. Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true! You'll see it's all a show. Keem'em laughin' as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you.. and always look on the bright side of life (whistle!)

Am ninja queen. Rawr.

You should see my handwriting. Lets put it this way, never was pestered for notes or had anyone cheat off me in school. Have been told my handwriting could pass for a doctor or the like. Chalk it up to 'artist' and call it good.

And truth, in the end, you gotta go with what works for you. We all have different methods of working through things, and that's perfectly fine. Sometimes it may just be helpful to try out other options and see if any of them also assist. And if not, well then you know. Process of elimination, scientific method, whatever. All good, neh?

Well shit, you should - I wrote the original, dammit!

Seriously mentally rehearsing how I am going to approach my department head tomorrow to discuss transferring, etc.

I feel a bit more at ease knowing that he is leaving at the end of the semester and he is allegedly very LGBT friendly, something that I did not expect.

Fixed your typo...

And those were RP posts, not TET posts, silly lamb.

What you should do is give me the actual OP in exchange for your stealing my post. However, I'm happy to have it stolen by you. And please don't steal anymore of my posts! Numbers count.

I've read it a few times. I assume it doesn't change often. It's also rather WALL OF TEXT

My point stands.

[Ardrentt]

I find myself being less tolerant to my mum basically talking to me right now.

Like, that she brings up stuff going on on the TV and her own thoughts about stuff, like I held that weird grumbly feeling when she asked me to check on something, from which I had to update the app in question and then clear space (Thankfully, I'd transferred a major chunk of WhatsApp data to my laptop, so I did have that space... or at least I had significantly more space than before)

I dunno, this feels like a pointless post: I guess a part of it, though not the most of it, is that she interrupted me listening to the song Chrin referenced, so there's that.

Best of luck with all of that. Just sorry you're having to deal with it at all.
