I do too. I'm just sick.

They're trying, but I'm told "it doesn't look or smell good". In other words--fried.

I don't know either. I just don't know where to start. I just need my vids and my pictures and art and fiction.

Sorry, I'm a mess right now.

That *was* my backup. That's the kicker. I have a 6 year old pc and had been backing up/moving thing over to the less than 2 years old external in case the pc went. Fat lot of good that did me. I don't have a dvd burner so I can't back up 120 gig of data without using a shitload of cd's.

You still have allt he Eric pics I sent you? I still have those on the pc. I can re-send. And I have smaller ones I didn't send. I still have my Troy folder on here so I have all my Eric stuff intact. I'll give you what I have if you want. I'll have to burn it and mail it though. It's quite a bit.

You got any vids/avi's/movies from dl's of Orli and Vig? I lost *everything. If you could send me that stuff, I'd be forever grateful. Write me at Ara@kixxster.org and I'll give you my addy and we can figure out how much money I'd need to send you.

Thanks honey--I have those still. Just none of mmy personal art, pics or fic. I've been writing for years in other fandoms and I've lost all my pics in those as well. All my downloaded vids, all my zine work--all gone.

But thanks for trying.

I have all the LotR, Pirates and Troy stuff still on my pc. All my personal art, pics and Lotr/Vig/Orli vids are gone. I want those back!

Sorry. I'm just a mess right now. But I do appreciate you trying. *hugs*

This is the second time more me.

I take care of my stuff. I'm very careful because I don't have the money to fix or replace. But two times now, the power supply has fried my hd and I've lost everything. I'm sick of electricity.

11 gig's of my life--gone. Ten years of art and fiction--gone. All my vid clips and music gone. All my personal pics and pics from other fandoms--gone

I think I'm going to be sick.

You have any vids of Orli and Vig you could send me on a cd? Like clips from premiers, e-town clips, HoV clips--all of it. Any of it? Any vids of any kind. I had them all. Now they're gone.

I 'm sorry, I just can't see for the tears.

*hugs*

Oh that would be wonderful!!!!!!!! I'll love you forever!!!! I lost all of that.

Got any lyrics? I've been collecting lyrics for years and use them for my art.

Write me at Ara@kixxster.org and I'll give you all my info.

*hugs* You are really the best!!

Thanks honey. I just feel ill.

*hugs* THis is the second time I've lost everything. I'm just not equipped for this kind of loss. And *I'm* the one who takes care of stuff and gets laughed at because I tend to be anal. I asked for another HD for Christmas and didn't get it--just in case something like this happened. I don't have a dvd burner so I couldn't back stuff up that way either. It just makes me sick. What I'd retained from the last loss was all on this external hd. So it's all gone. It's like losing it all over again.

I still have all my PS stuff, so I'm good there. I'm jsut missing all my vids, personal pics, art and fiction and all my pics I use for art in other fandoms. I need my lyrics too.

I need a good cry.

I still have all my LotR, PotC and Troy stuff on this actual pc along with all my brushes, textures, lights and stuff. So if there's anything I can do to help you--let me know.

*hugs*

Thanks honey. I need all the shoulders to cry on that I can get.

I've got my tech working on it, but from what he says, it doesn't look good.

	From: araestel	Date: December 27th, 2005 09:13 am (UTC)		(Link)

I'm just sick over it.

	From: araestel	Date: December 27th, 2005 09:14 am (UTC)		(Link)

Can you send me any LotR vids you might have? I lost all those.

	From: araestel	Date: December 27th, 2005 09:17 am (UTC)		(Link)

YES!!!!!! Yes, please!!!

My addy might be easier, so write me at Ara@kixxster.org and I'll give you my addy. *hugs* You'd be a lifesave!
