Update and bad news
17 years ago
General
so i took my computer into staples against my better judgment to get it fixed, i told them to back up my files on my desktop and repair windows which was corrupt.
after many days i get my PC back and the files i had requested had not been backed up, and in addition the computer had been reformatted, all that survived was my received items folder and a folder of downloaded torrents... 22gb of barely useful data out of over 100.
I've asked them to see at all whether the data can be recovered but it looks like the process with be neither easy nor inexpensive... 10 years of writing and artwork not to mention many many memories of my friends are now gone...
i won't be using the old hard drive i have in that computer for fear of overwriting any of my old data which i would desperately like to have back. i think i may try and purchase a new hard drive (seeing as i can get one for $100, just down the street) and try to rebuild
to make the matter more difficult i will be moving in less than a week, i will have no contact with friends except for the computer, which may not be recoverable. i'm trying to make the most of the time i have left with my closest friend
RisuMurasaki before i'm forced to leave
i'll try and get on here for another update or to check my messages but this may be the final journal for a long while from me. if so, best of luck to all of you and it's been a fun year.

May you enjoy all the time you have with Risu and all your other friends before the move. As one who has moved over 500 miles away from friends and family, I can agree in it not being easy. However, I'm certain distance won't forever pose an issue for good times and that you all will figure a great way around it to keep things fun and exciting.
Good luck, Aden. I wish you all the best!
