The not happy thread

Very unhappy at the moment.

I can't find my USB with my story on it.

Now i have my story on about 10 different things, but not the last months, not that exta 100k words.

What made it worse was i had the washing machine on, and i had stuck things in there when i got up this morning...(headphones and the likes) but i have them here with me, but no usb.


When the washing machine stopped i slowly and dreadfully looked for a USB. It was not in the load, which means its somewhere

OR the Washing machine stole it, like it doe my socks.

I hate loseing things, it doesnt happen often, but when it does...

(I had done writing in the bedroom, a place i hardly use for such things, but i wanted to, thusethe USB moved from its usual spiot.) Off i go looking again.

 

you've lost 100k's worth of work?

sh!t.....

hope you find it speedy. That's awful

 

I have been experiencing abdominal pain for the past few weeks. I have kept quiet about it because I am very scared of the doctor's office, even though my general practitioner is awesome. It's just this irrational fear, I guess, but I'm afraid because I fear A) for my life and dream up worst-case scenarios and B) that I'm going to get sicker because of all the sick people germs.

And I'm also afraid because this region of abdominal pain suggests there is a problem with the treatment I am receiving for a condition in that particular region...

I've been trying to ignore it, but it has brought me to my knees several times in the past few days, and that's not normal.

*inner battle*

Edit: Sorry about your loss of writing, Speedy... That sucks, possibly more than my pain sucks.

 

I'm unhappy because I have a prick for a boyfriend, but at the same time I feel like I don't have the right to be unhappy because I should have seen this coming and put myself in this situation.

Speedy: I couldn't even imagine. All that work gone out the window. I sincerely hope you find it.

Mercurial: I know you just said that you are afraid of the doctor's office, but I really think you need to go. It sounds really serious. Pain that bad should never be ignored.

 

I have no idea where it is, and im feeling a bit light headed.

It has to be somewhere, it just cant be gone (like socks do).

The thing is im ((% certain in was in the bedroom, but 1% it was down stairs


I had the internet all last night and the girl didnt because well she was sulking and i said screw that (well i never said one word to her). I'm starting to wonder if it was taken. I doubt it. BUT if i cant find it, it'll make me wonder.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what did he do?

 

What hasn't he done?

The main thing right now though; he put conditions on our relationship recently and now he thinks he can enforce them every two minutes and use it against me as a threat. I'm tired of it and I'm reaching my breaking point.

 

Honestly, at this point I think you should just dump him. You deserve better than that. And, at least in my experience, a-holes only become bigger a-holes over time.

 

Well, in his defense it isn't so cut and dry. I was more ranting than anything. I do see where you're coming from, though. I dunno, it just gets so frustrating sometimes.

it doesn't help that i'm lazy, worthless and an embarrassment.

 

Did you check in the couch cushions? I lost my USB and was convinced the maid had hidden it, but then that's where I finally found it.

I hope you find it soon. It's such a gut-wrenching feeling, losing something you've worked so hard on writing.

Merc, go to the doctor! I totally get the not wanting to go to doctors, because if Joel didn't make me, I would never go, but this could be something serious, and if you ignore it, it will only get worse.

First off, you are not worthless or an embarrassment. And those are two things that your significant other should never make you feel like you are.

Second, I'm inclined to agree with Shadow on this one, but if you don't think you should (or just don't want to) that's your choice. I hope things get better for you.

 

Ha, i don't actually have a couch for it to slip between.

But if it could slep between something (meaning if if grew electronic legs and walked itself behind something) i have looked and found nothing.

Closest i can was in the upstairs bathroom, i saw something small and silver and was upset when it was the tag on the toilet matt! Darn.

What else is kinda got me on edge is the misses girl isnt home yet. Usually (every day) she'd be home to drop her grear off. Nothing major.

 

I get like that when Joel takes longer than normal to get home, too. I hope she comes home soon! And maybe the two of you will be able to find your USB.

 

Oh she wont help me, unless i let you look at her mysepace crap for 8 hours

I just want her to come hoe so i can ask

Shes not home cause she never had the net last night, so tyou must be out "playing" outside in the real world somewhere which is pretty good (As long as shes home by 630. Thats her must be home time.

 

Well, she came home, said no she hasent seen it and stormed upstairs never to be seen again.

I think im just going to bite the bullet and start typing them up again. Even though its 100,000 words i remember every scene and most of the dialogue in my head.

Funny enough the section i wrote 1 day ago is where im stuffed up - It was "ddep" conversation that really doesnt flow through me too often. Shame.

I'll give it another 24 hours, lus i need to buy another USB


I'm pretty certain i had the USB in my vlothes that went through the Washing Machine. I swear to go every washing machie has a wormhole that steals your socks and takes them to sock woeld. Maybe my USB got mistaen

Tomorrow is a new day, will worry about it then.

 

Get TWO thumb drives. Use one for a backup. Although I think I'd set up a more robust backup plan, actually, and not just for stories.

 

Cog - i got lazy, i was doing it daily for like every 1k words, then i got on a roll and ...got STUPID.

Lets say, when you are on the verge of lossing a lot, and you get it back (Read happy thread) you learn mega time.

SOme reason the usb wouldnt do a multi save like my others (HD, US, other usb if connected (External HD).

But yes.

 

Nothing makes me feel more professional than being called "Kiddo" by a church volunteer while I am on the job. Sigh.

 

Did you call him or her "Sir" or "Ma'am" in return? May have gotten the point across (or may fly straight over the pointy head).

 

So much for my family's mormon connections meaning I could get stuff taken care of for my wedding for cheaper than other places...

Just got a quote from the woman who offered to do my flowers...it's like twice as much as it would be at the other place I was looking at.

My sister talked to the woman she goes to church with who offered to do my cake...it's the same as it would be anywhere else...

*cries*

Joel keeps saying we should just make our own cake, and I'm starting to seriously think about it. There's got to be some kind of a "making a wedding cake for dummies" book out there...

 

^ If you're good at baking and learn how to apply proper icing then I don't see why not, Hidden. I bet you could make something really pretty.

You and Joel could make it together, and that way it'd be so much more special than having it made by someone else. Atleast you'd have a fonder memeory to go with it than just 'This cake cost me $500.'

Personally I think that's a great idea!

 

Thanks, sweetchaos and Heather. I figured out what the problem was this morning. I will not be going to the doctor. It's not as serious as I thought it was, and the pain should go away on its own, although it still really, really hurts. *whine*

It's coming from my medication that I'm on right now. I dont have to take it after eight more days, so... I'll suffer through with some Advil.

 

I'm not happy because i accidentally left my phone outside in the hot sun and now it's burning to the touch. Thank god it still works, but one of these times it's gonna stop working. I hope it's okay.

 

Aw, not nice Gigi! I hope it doesn't break.

 

It's working just fine now, but that is the LAST time I ever do anything like that. I accidentally did it once or twice before, and I need to keep it in my pocket at all times or else not bring it outside. That's my new mantra.

It's nice and cool now, too. I laid it down in the freezer with the door shut for a few seconds, and it cooled it down but didn't damage it. Sweet!

 

That's a great idea!! I would love doing that. Unfortunately, TLC has planted in my head the insane desire to get a wedding dress from Kleinfeld's (Say Yes to the Dress) in NYC, and get a cake from Carlos' Bakery in New Jersey (Cake Boss). I'm seriously considering doing that.
