The world hates me.

My computer died. DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIED, I tell you! Obviously, it's not dead at the moment, so I'm probably being melodramatic, but anyway. My dad made me install this virus scanner a while back. It destroyed my computer- it took ages to fix, and to fix it, I had to delete the registry. That meant I got to keep most of my files, but heaps of stuff got killed, not exactly at random. For example, I had to re-install Windows and Microsoft office. I didn't have the cds, cause I'd basically pirated them from my dad's workplace. ^ ^; Anyway, he brought spare cds home, so I got most things back. However, it took a long time and some stuff like shortcuts and internet history died. *pout*.
Now today, dad made me attempt to install the craptacular virus scanner again, DESPITE my protests. This time, I managed to fix it with relatively little pain, thanks to my brother in Sydney. However, he told me to prevent such future horror, I really should re-format my entire hard drive. That means deleting EVERYTHING. Basically, now I have to choose what to save by burning onto CD and what to obliviate, and it'll take ages to re-install everything. *whimper* Why? WHY? Thank god for Canberra day, otherwise I may have just curled up in a corner and cried.

Ahhh, think of it this way, Siorina. You won't have any crap you don't want on your computer, you can install all the latest and greatest software AND you can reorganise it to make everything neat and pretty and easy to access.

You can also play with your permissions so your brother doesn't check out your slashy/yaoi stuff. Keekee :3

Well... I really don't need to WORRY about my brother. He lives in Sydney now, and besides, he has known and paid me out about the slash thing for over a year now. O_o; But you're right. Look on the bright side! *grin*
