ZOMG HD Failure!

I just got home from Hawaii on Sunday. Go to turn on my beloved computer, and it's very sluggish and freezes. I hard booted it only to have the hd fail and now it doesn't work at all.

I seriously want to cry and go hide in a corner forever. Not really but I am desperate to figure out how to retrieve my data. I've tried everything and currently have the drive in a bag in my freezer. Hopefully that works. If not I'll be sending it off to a place and spending several hundred to get my data back.

There isn't that much on there that I am too worried about except the last known pictures of my parents together this past Christmas. Considering my dad has now left my mom it's very important to me to get those back.

I also have some work files I'd like to save. Lots of photoshop templates that I have spent too many hours working on to just have disappear into the nether.

I also have to reinstall everything on this new hd which really sucks ass. On the up side, this new drive is 500GB and my last was only 160GB, so I have plenty of room now!

Why Did We Leave?

So B and I have returned to Oahu and it makes me miss it even more. I'm devastated knowing that in a few days we have to return to boring TR with nothing but redneck haoles. Don't get me wrong, we know some wonderful people there, but there's no diversity (I don't want to hear oh but he's German, and she's Norwegian they're all Haole!)

We miss the awesome food here, musubi, fresh ahi, any kind of plate lunch...

I miss the perfect weather every day!

Mostly I miss the wonderful people, our friends, plus others that you just meet when you're here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. One big Ohana. I miss that lifestyle.
