Today was an exercise in nostalgia for me, and to finish it off I guess I'll write in my blog.


Lately I've had too much time to think because I've been stuck at home on this "split operations" thing that the company has rolled out. While working from home is more relaxing, it's also boring because I don't get to talk to my colleagues. There's only me and my mother, and while our relationship has improved to the point where I actually chat with her it's not quite the same. She doesn't understand my workplace stuff, and half of the time when I mention people she's doesn't know who they are! So it is a bit irritating.


Since I've had so much time, I'd thought I'd make some headway on the backlog of "things that I lost in the hard drive crash (goddammit)". One of these is saving fanart. I LOVE FANART. And I've been told I have pretty good tastes in fanart! =DDD One of the 'staples' of my collection was this site called Lovedrop. Aside from the pictures on their website, I also found a lot of lovely doodles on their blog. I hit it up again... only to find that they had deleted all of their old posts!


Luckily or unluckily, this was one of the sites where I had backed up SOME of the pictures but I'm not sure if this is better or worse because I keep looking at what I do have and marvelling at how awesome some of these were and I completely forgot about them. What if there were more? What if I had missed out on something great?


It's only a bunch of pictures! you'd protest. Which is true, but it was more of an attitude thing... I could've saved all my data, if I had backed it up. Or if I had been less stubborn in trying to restart my computer. By the time I got around to it, it was too late. Am I going to sit around and let it happen another time?


This is why I've decided to start writing in this blog again. It is more important that I write down what I am at this point in time for me. You could consider it a form of backing up my life.
