Alphonse is alive

[cornerofmadness]

IT handed my computer back to me today claiming it works. I did not have time to check it before leaving for PA. Supposedly it had 120 viruses on it. WTF? I mean I mostly only go to twitter, FB, here, goodreads and yahoo. Betting FB is to blame for many of them. BUT I have an anti-viral program (Dad started in with the cheapskate, using a freebie thing. I told him for the half dozen time mine IS NOT free and is one of the top rated anti virals which apparently means shit all).

So to counterbalance the return of Alphonse I may have lost the flash drive i put everything I've done for the last month on including a short story I have to get mailed out in just a few days where i had just made major changes to it. I have the unchanged copy naturally. I'm almost 100% sure I got it before I left work. I'm praying it fell out of my purse when I had to slam on my brakes on I-70 and the purse went flying (leading to Mom going you're such a slob why wasn't it locked up. BECAUSE you insist I call you when I hit a certain point and both things were in the same zippered area and I didn't want to try rezippering at 70 mph). I couldn't find it using a really bright flash light. Now I'm terrified it fell out when i pulled the phone out in Krogers to call mom to double check the stuff she wanted me to buy. Thank god I put the lectures on my R-drive at work today or I would have lost them again.

I did make it back to PA alive. I-70 is getting to be insane to drive with all the damned 18 wheelers. I miss the days when we used trains to transport stuff.

May or may not have a snippet. I got nothing written in my head on the trip.It was full of two new story ideas. whines. AND Roy chattering about nothing I can possibly use for Big Bang. He wants to go dancing.I blame this on dancing with the stars. I don't like reality shows. I do love dancing and since I've been watching it the last 4 weeks it's in my brain. Dancing on paper is tedious to read so STFU Roy.

Good luck finding the drive and I HOPE that Alphonse is fixed!

Roy, choreography is fun to watch, but a PITA to describe. Lay off!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. Me too to all of it.

you are so right. Listen to her Roy.

I too hope you find that drive! I lost two of my flashdrives before and wasn't able to find them. D:

Haha now you know how I feel when writing Like a Radio Drama and That Girl With the Blue Dress On. Roy asked for dancing in both of those stories. *_* He asked that AGAIN for FMA Big Bang, but then Riza had a better idea, sex on the couch, and Roy instantly asks for that instead. XD;

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I still have ANOTHER flash missing too. gah. they need to have better ways of linking them to things

Sex on the couch trumps dancing, Roy definitely agrees. Roy likes to dance in my stories too.I've SENT him dancing before.

Dancing, oh, Roy. :D

I hope you find your flash drive. I'd call Krogers if you can to see if they have it ASAP.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'll check the car in the light of day first and I don't think they're even open tomottow

Roy wants to dance dammit

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he does want to dance!

Good luck with your search.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he really does. He says he Mera, Miao-Yin and the Elrics are teaching Dev how to dance

thanks

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Winry's excited, that means she gets to dance with two cute Elrics. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and for that matter probably roy and Dev too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, them, too!

Good luck with finding the drive! Was the story you altered Vacation in Victoria? If you find the new version then if you like, I can do a merge which would add my beta changes (all in track changes so very visible and reversible) to the new one, and then look it over.

No joy in flash drive world. Yep that's the story. Thanks but that's okay, I have the original story. You and ELD did edits. I had just spent an hour using hers and that's what lost

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. Good luck with it! Was your Nano on that flash? D:

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

naturally but both were also on my netbook since i had that issue with my flash burning out earlier this year

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness you backed up! *nags you annoyingly*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

indeed. I would have been ape shit if I hadn't. Losing a novel is gutwrenching.

and now I'm being silly with Alphonse and Roy(for fma fic con)

Well, congrats on Alphonse, but I hope that flash drive turns up. The only thing I don't like about super-convenient flash drives is how freaking easy they are to LOSE. I sometimes think I should get the ones with the loops so I can keep them on my keys.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

no luck on that flash drive. I DID have one with a key chain and it died in 2 weeks earlier this year.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Great news about your compputer!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

indeed. crossing fingers that it works good because i passed on the Black Friday sales
