[Quick Update] - 12/27/12

So I've got some FANTASTIC news, and some 'okay' news... So if you don't like long reading, odds are you won't like this entry.

First thing first; The fantastic news. I don't know how he done it...but he did it...One of my friends is really into technical things, so I had him come down and take a look at my computer. After he deconstructed the tower, and re-hooked a crapload of wires, I finally seen a screen that wasn't Blue!....It was black. (Eh, but it wasn't frozen anymore! I seen that as a good sign) Like expected, nothing was there. I tried to explain to him that I had over 1,000 drawings on there that weren't on a back-up disk, and he said there was pretty much nothing he could do...UNTIL he started looking into the tower. Turns out, I didn't have a virus on the computer, my hard-drive died; that's the reason why it crashed...which in other words means the computer locked up and shut itself down because it overloaded....why do I feel like the main cause of that was due to my large number of drawings. XD...Anyway, He soon told me if a computer "Shuts itself down", it's no better than a crash...so I was screwed either way. About 2 hours of plugging, de-plugging, removing and fixing followed, and it finally brought up a Red screen (So many colors. ._.) He changed a bunch of settings and put a USB into one of the ports...Then I was amazed. EVERY single picture I drew was actually found!! He tried loading the pictures on the USB and they were on there, so he took it out and handed it to me (My new back-up drive. ^-^)..But then, something happened. The computer shut down again. Perfect. Long story short: I got my pictures on a jump-drive...But my computer's fried.

...Didn't say this in the last entry, but, a couple years ago my computer crashed for the first time (this time makes it's second) and I lost a bunch of drawings THEN too. Turns out they were recovered as well....I didn't really want them though...I mean don't get me wrong, they were nice to see and everything...but they were like the drawings I uploaded when I first came to Fanpop...but ah, I left them on the drive. Just to keep up with improvisation over the years. xD To see what I've fixed...and what I'm still working on.

But I still don't have MS Paint or Gimp...Honestly, I don't know when I'll get them. Like I said, my computer's dead. So...drawing is still put to the side. In the meantime, I could probably upload the pictures (that were completed) on here, like I originally planned. ...I'll have to use my dad's laptop because the only internet access I have now is on my iPod..which obviously doesn't have a USB port. I'll either upload them later tonight, or tomorrow (Maybe. Don't quote me.) I don't know how many I'll upload, though...I know one is a definite...the rest; not so much...

But don't worry, as soon as I get the programs back and I'm finally able to draw again; I'll update on here asap.

I think that's about it...I might come back online later tonight...right now, my eyes are killing me and looking at a screen isn't making it any better. Just wanted to come on here and post a quick update to let you guys know my butt was saved. xD

OH!! And before I forget, I better say this. I was on Facebook a couple days ago and I seen an image that looked familiar...then I realized it was one of my drawings!! D: I thought nothing of it until I read what the person who posted said: "Look at this!! I drew it!"...After reading that, I commented on it, saying it was mine and a couple people believed me (The person who posted didn't comment. Of course. -_-)...but still, they didn't need to steal it. :/ Especially since they didn't even ask permission.....Soooo, if you see anything that looks like it would be mine...tell me. I'm getting sick of these art thefts...and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
