Does this mean I get sandwiches whenever I want?
Yes, but I only know how to make PB&J.
What's your favorite that you've found? What were you looking for that you didn't find?
I was looking for more pictures of the Mardi Gras bead dress that I made and of the time that Emma visited and we pretended to be twins and took lots of pictures in World Market. They’ve disappeared, though. =\ I did find lots of pictures from high school, like pictures from my room from when I still lived with my parents when I was like 15, some pictures of people I forgot I was ever friends with. Prom pictures. Pictures of exes. Lots of things that I forgot I wrote. Part of a novel that I wrote 3 chapters of and forgot about. I found one short story that I wrote for an ex, but I’m still missing others that we wrote back and forth, and I know I saved them, but I don’t know where. It’s not like they’re very good, just a sentimental thing, I guess. =\ Also, I had a Word doc of little poems and things a friend sent me, but that’s also disappeared.
“…in that moment, as he saw and smelled how irresistible its effect was and how with lightning speed it spread and made captives of the people all around him—in that moment his whole disgust for humankind rose up again within him and completely soured his triumph, so that he felt not only no joy, but not even the least bit of satisfaction. What he had always longed for—that other people should love him—became at the moment of his achievement unbearable, because he did not love them himself, he hated them. And suddenly he knew that he had never found gratification in love, but always only in hatred—in hating and in being hated.”

New computer's are exciting. It's like reviewing an impromptu journal. You get to see all the stuff you thought was important enough to save. Have you come across anything particularly good?
Definitely, they are! I’ve sorted through lots of things. Most aren’t great. I’ve been posting old stories and poems on my blogger page just so they’re preserved there, and I don’t have to worry about transferring them. Most of them are mediocre things that I’m hoping I’ll revisit some day. I’ve also found lots and lots of old pictures. Some are cooler than others and some are missing that I’d hoped I still had saved. =\ C’est la vie.
New computer!!
Setting up my new MacBook Pro. =]
Trying to transfer everything, but it seems like I’m still going to lose tabs and playlists and things… Clearly I don’t know what I’m doing with this. Somehow my photos transferred 4 times.
“His discerning nose unraveled the knot of vapor and stench into single stran of unitary odors that could not be unthreaded further. Unwinding and spinning out these threads gave him unspeakable joy.”
