The title is basically self explanatory but before I get to introducing our newest family member, there's something I have to blog about because this is epic!
Okay, so usually I write any story; one-shot or chaptered fics, at night because
(according to Jong Hyun) The creative side of your brain activates at that time.
So in this case, I ALWAYS write at night. A few paragraphs in the afternoon sure, but most of my writing is done after 10pm.
So basically last night was just like any other and I was really happy because I was on a roll! I finished two pages and 8 paragraphs and I was already to my 8th page! So hurrah for me!
But you know, I'm not really one to stay up as late as 1am. So just as the clock struck 12am I concluded my nightly writing session and told myself to hit the hay. Of course, I cannot do any of that without saving the one-shot first right? So I click on save and guess what the computer tells me?
"The system can no longer retrieve the said file. Please reconnect the drive in order to fully save"
And then I check and see because I KNOW my USB is connected and there is no way that it can magically disconnect. So I attempt to save it again but the same box pops up. It tells me that it can no longer recognize what file I'm editing and tells me to encode the whole manuscript into a diferent computer language. So I click on French because it's probably the only other language I know. (and Korean is not yet installed in my Laptop) So I choose that.
But then guess what? It tells me that it's FRIGGIN UNAVAILABLE! So it decides to shut down EVERYTHING and 'delete' my file. (yes, delete; the dreaded term in which a particular object is thrown off or completly erased from memory)
I was PANICKING! at first I though, NAW~ I just have to open my USB and it'll be there again! but when I did it was friggin gone! So imagine what I went through? I cursed up a storm and cried myself to half-sleep. (I was trying to forget it but then I couldn't)
My dad heard me from the other rooom and came over to check on me. I told him about losing 8 pages worth of writing over a span of three days and he didn't really know what to say. My parents have never seen me cry over ANY of my writings so I guess this was a first for them.
He told me that God has a reason why the computer deleted it, maybe because I could have done better than what I was writing and I wouldn't try again unless it deletes itself.
I was still in a state of remorse but I decided that maybe dad was right. God wouldn't let anything bad happen to me. so I closed my eyes and told myself to work on it the whole day tomorrow (which is today)
But then I hear my door open yet again and my mom is squatting in front of me with a smile on her face. It glows brightly and it makes me feel happy ^ ^ (I love my mom :D)
She tells me to try it out on the other computer because this one is more advanced than mine. I agreed and followed her to their room and plugged in my USB; all this while still sniffing from the aftermath of my sobbing.
And guess what?! HELLO! it was right tharr! YAAAY! in a completely different encoding but I found it! I recovered it! wheee! I copy pasted it on a new Document and saved it! Then I told myself I am NEVER writing on my laptop again!
So basically. I cried last night for the first time in months and because of a Document I thought I lost. My dad laughed at me this morning before they headed to work. Told me that
"You were crying last night when all you needed to do was plug your USB into our computer"
He was friggin laughing at my laptop! I know it can be wonky at times but hello? that's my baby! Don't laugh at my baby~ and then I kissed my mom and dad good bye and they left for work!
Now I'm writing this epically LOOOOOOOOOONG story just so you can all read how much I love writing. XD
