This is why I now use Linux. Unless you mess around in the terminal using sudo commands, you can't mess it up. (Well, with Ubuntu anyway. I'm not sure about other distributions.) ((And I don't play games so not being able to play them isn't a big deal))

Unless it is your hard drive. I believe your computer isn't that old though, correct? I'm not sure the average life of a mechanical hard drive, but I'm sure it shouldn't be failing (on a mechanical level at least).

The corrupted Windows files were because of my hard drive. XD Every single mechanical hard drive out there has small "bad sectors" due to physical limitations of the material itself. I just happened to get a bad sector on a System32 file and that was throwing my computer out of whack. I had 12 bad sectors last year, and 52 fourteen months later. It's ~200 Kb of bad data, no big deal.

Joy: I fixed it.

Joy : I beat Wolfenstein The New Order. It feels like a pretty short game though, maybe 7 or so hours of game time and whatnot.

Sorrow: For some reason, I woke up really drowsy and I don't wanna go back to sleep but I feel like I am going to pass out.

You might have overslept or you could be sick.

I've been having that feeling too lately when waking up. It could just be the fatigue of a long long year.

Joy: one more day of work before a week of rest. Looking forward to celebrating the holidays at my place with family and friends.

Could be the weather. Has it been unusually wet or humid?

Actually, I did figure out what it was. Despite the fact that it is supposedly only for a stuffy nose and not for sleep, the NyQuil pills I took must have made me pass out. And I did pass out for 4 hours. Curse you dishonest advertising!

Sorrow: I got hit by a car a couple of hours ago. It wasn't going too fast, but I guess it ran a red light and I didn't react fast enough. I don't remember it too well, but I was told I went on top of the car and rolled off the back. I didn't break anything, but I am really sore and I have a few cuts and bruises from hitting the asphalt and a small gash where a piece of glass went into my thigh. The paramedics told me I need to stay in bed to let my body heal, so I guess I'll be stuck at home for a few days

Oh wow that sucks. But I'm glad that you are OK bandits nothing too serious.

Ouch, sorry that had to happen to you. I know the feeling well enough. Ahh, well, it's good that nothing serious happened. Get well soon.

Good to hear you're alright. I'm guessing they'll be paying your medical costs - or was it a hit-and-run?

It may have been a hit and run, but I could be wrong. I was out for about 15 minutes, and I didn't see the car that hit me when the paramedics woke me up.

I'm sorry to hear that happen to you Sergei. Glad you're alright.

Coincidentally, I was out with my parents tonight when I saw someone run a red light, making an illegal left turn, and slamming into the bumper of another car. The other car (the one that was minding its own business) spun across three lanes and smashed into a telephone pole, knocking it right to the ground. Then I swear to glub the guy that ran the red light was about to "hit and run" but changed his mind and stopped when he saw five people jump out their cars and start running over, calling the police, etc. This guy ran that red light going at least 40 mph.

Joy: Although the front ends of both cars were completely demolished, both people were able to walk out of both cars.

Literally sent me into a panic attack: If my dad hadn't slammed the breaks and halted before the intersection, that would have been us hitting that telephone pole.

Gosh Sergei I am so glad you are okay. Car accidents are terrifying, and one moron on the road can really, really hurt someone. Seriously I am so sorry you and the person in the accident I witnessed today have to deal with this two days before Christmas. Please get some rest and take it easy. *hugs*

Did someone hit you while you were walking or do you drive a motorcycle?

If you were out for that long of a time there's a good chance the person had already finished their business with the police by the time you had woken up. Or they could have left and you now get to hunt them down Liam Neeson style for revenge.

Sorrow: Allergies or something.

I feel your pain. x_x

Ouch! Glad to hear you're relatively alright.

I realize I haven't posted the original feeling of the hour that I meant to. Got too caught up in wishing Sergei well x3

World-Smashing Anger: JOFFREY. WHY. Re-watching Game of Thrones Seasons 1-4 that little tool.
Yes I know:
He dies, blah blah blah, IT'S NOT SOON ENOUGH

Beagle wrote:Did someone hit you while you were walking or do you drive a motorcycle?

I was walking. I'm bit too young to drive a motorcycle on a public road.

sorrow: apperently last week someone broke into a salvation army store and stole everything
Joy: two days later the entire community replaced everything and then some
Sorrow #2, a lot of temps at work will be let go after Christmas. on a bitter sweet note; I was not let go (I feel bad because some of the temps have families).
Joy: I was hired for a permanent position in the connection center at work, part time. But very good for me.

Connection Center associate's one of the best hourly WM jobs. Congratulations!

Joy : Gas is below $2

Sorrow: I think I have the flu. Going to the doctor's after dinner, I can't get anything to stay down.
Sorrow: Mom had her first day of chemo today so we're both laying around like zombies. This is why I'm not waiting to go to the doctor.
Sorrow; Merry freaking Christmas, bah humbug.

Dissension wrote:Connection Center associate's one of the best hourly WM jobs. Congratulations!

Thanks diss, I am excited to be moving up.

Wow I'm sorry that your mother has to have chemo. I hope everything works out.

Sorrow: My allergy symptoms turned out to be a flu. I woke up for work and couldn't even get out of bed.
Sorrow: Apparently, even with a doctors notice, I can't avoid a write up from my job...
Joy: The doctor said that I'm healthy enough to where I could get over it by sleeping for the next two days. Should be good after that.
Joy: Unexpectedly, two days of lounging around. AWESOME!

Sorrow: Worse start to Christmas Day for me ever...Waking up at 1:30am in pain due to being all blocked up inside is horrible. Even worse than the year I wasn't allowed to eat anything that was possible to be easily allergic of due to a nasty reaction to some exotic food additive that was never discovered. Partially my fault of course, I've been eating too much fast food (in particular McDonalds which can cause no end to grief to my digestive system). I just want the sun to come up faster so I can go for a nice long walk and hopefully help things flow better.
Sorrow: My brother has become very distant from most folks lately. Its got folks in my family worried.
Joy: At least January has some potential for real fun.
Sorrow: Said fun gonna hit my pockets hard.

*Hugs Therolyn* Don't worry bud, we're here for ya. I hope that your Christmas turns for the better.

Joy: I got my mate to come with me to my family Christmas Party
Joy: We've just got done wrapping all of the gifts
Sorrow: I'm not sure if my mate will like the gifts I got...
Sorrow/Joy: It's raining, but it means that there might be snow tomorrow if it continues!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. ^w^

Oh man that sounds bad, I know how a messed up digestive system can feel. Hope things get better!

Joy: I get to spend tomorrow with my parents! A roof on my head! Heating! Good coffee! Being alive!

Sorrow: This is a time for joy and stuff, so nothing here.

Joy: Going to see The Interview tonight. Kimmy boy can't stop me now!

Edit: Joyish Sorrow: Or not. The drive to the theatre is long. Seeing it later though.

Joy: I'm feeling a lot better since my accident

Joy: Tomorrow, the band is getting together and we are going to play music a majority of the day just for fun. It has been a while since we covered anything, so tomorrow is our cover day basically. We are going to cover songs from our major music inspirations such as Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, Aborted, Massakren, Lamb Of God, Gorgoroth, etc. (I am not going to list the songs due to heavy Satanic influence in some of their titles and I do not wish to offend any users here).

Sorrow: The last time I did a Gorgoroth cover, the brutal vocal style it requires caused me to damage my throat to the point that I was coughing up blood for two days and I'm worried that it will happen again. I have trained my voice a lot more since then, so hopefully I can make it through the three songs we are doing by them (three may not sound like a lot, but when it comes to Gorgoroth, it is like a vocal marathon),

Joy: Rick drew all us mods for Openermas!

Funny: Rick gave me a new tail for Openermas. x3

Joy: I got a new 27" 1080p monitor for Christmas from my parents.

Joy: I got lottery tickets in my stocking, hit "Win All" on two of them, and won $125!

Merry Christmas and Happy Openermas, everyone! Hopefully everybody has a great one. :3

Joy: Yay for the Mods being drawn by Rick! I'd be willing to color them if you guys want. =3

Joy: Got a brake drum forge for Christmas! (Now I can make horseshoes, daggers, wall hooks, and the like).

Joy: I got $355 for Christmas from various people and new socks and pants.

Joy: Christmas is over. But I'm going to learn from Peanut. Today is second Christmas
Wait no the 26th is boxing day but that doesn't sound as cool. Second Christmas it is.

Sorry to hear about your accident Sergei, but I'm glad you're feeling better. Last-second Holiday drivers: they would run over their own grandmothers.

Joy: Got a much needed addition to my wardrobe for Christmas.

Sorrow: Feeling a bit bloated after feasting.

Joy : Finally listed my jacket on Craigslist. Now to ignore the anxiousness of waiting.

Joy: Yes! Things did get better for Christmas, It still wasn't the greatest (it was a bit later than usual this year) but it was still fun. And the nice long walk I took in the morning really helped.
Sorrow/Joy: Still not fully over it but at least I'm not in pain.
Joy: A relative that I like to talk to that lives far off has finally got an internet connection. Now I don't just have to use the phone to talk with him.
Sorrow: Not much giving or receiving this year in the family. I think I need to begin giving more at the season however. Got a single present this year.
Gripe: I wish brandy custard was thicker, I love my custard thick but the supermarket sells it too thin for my liking...

Joy: I forgot to mention this when I found out (we've known for about a month ), but my sister and brother-in-law are expecting their second child.

Congrats to your sister, Kitch.

Joy: I'm over the worst of this flu.
Sorrow: Christmas pretty much went un-celebrated.
