SNARL HISS

[jhameia]

SO my computer has this problem where the battery doesn't last much longer than an hour. Which thus far hasn't been a problem while I write on my couch, because frankly, there is something about this table, and something about this setup, that aggravates me a great deal. I've not been able to get any writing done in this fucking apartment, and I feel like the energy isn't flowing very well. Part of it has to do with the apartment setup, with narrow corridors and awkward corners and shit. I do believe in chi (although not necessarily feng shui) and I feel like there is something with the way the apartment is set up that is preventing energy from flowing as smoothly as it could.

BUT ANYWAY, I've been getting good results typing on my laptop while on the couch, so I was doing that this evening. And usually when I hit a critical level, my laptop warns me. IT WARNS ME!

BUT TONIGHT?

NO IT DIDN'T.

That's about 3000 words, writing on NotePad because that's the software I'm most comfortable with, because it doesn't have a distracting UI, GONE. GONE. GONE! WONDERFUL WORLDBUILDING SCENES, GONE. WONDERFUL EXPOSITION ON MY CHARACTER'S FAMILY LIFE, GONE. WONDERFUL GENDER-NEUTRAL SEX SCENE, GONE.

I AM SO PISSED I am literally HISSING and SNARLING while I pace my hallway (can't pace my living room because it makes too much noise, which adds to my crankiness).

I sympathize -- I've lost a couple really not half-bad poems in much the same way, over the years...

But it is my firm belief that these things do return, when it is their time to be born...

Yeah but I was feeling SO GOOD about those words D: (granted, they could have gone nowhere afterward but still)

Oh, how very frustrating!

I once spent about five hours on a journal entry (before LJ had autosave) and lost it all, and then spent three hours retyping it, thus consuming my entire Saturday.

I've lost a few very lengthy emails that way, too (my email does not have autosave).

And I know people who have lost much more!

It is SO SAD T_T

OMG snarl-hiss! I would do exactly the same. T_T

(Why didn't you connect the power cord?)

(Because I didn't think the battery would die on me so fast D: Also, it did not warn me! Usually there's a little warning that comes up in the corner which it did not this time...)

*patpat* I guess you'll never write on this without making sure it's already connected to power? ^_^;

[fantasyecho.livejournal.com]

Yeah. BUT I STILL WON'T GET BACK THOSE WORDS!

.... I feel like bursting into a chorus of MacArthur Park for some reason.

The reference went over my head, but I can sympathize with the sentiment. ^_^;

It's a hilarious song and the chorus goes something like, "... and I left the cake out in the rain! Oh it took so long to bake it, and I don't think my heart could take it, and I'll never have that recipe again!" I've... never really figured out what the song was about...
