Can you hear the violins?
SO. .I actually don't know how to explain this without going into a long winded rant and loosing my cool all over again. But. .Yesterday, i took pity on my younger brother and let him use my laptop to surf the net for an hour. .
I warned him not to mess with things and stick to his online stuff and not to mess with my folders. But little brothers think they know everything and what they say goes. Or at least mine does, this is a big part of my reign of violence this morning. But i'll get to that.
So i go to an appointment, come back an hour later, and my brothers off the laptop and holed up in his room with the Xbox, so i just leave him and decided 'right, i'll get on finishing that icon post i promised', only to plug in my thumb drive and find my entire icon folder gone.
G O N E !!!
I couldn't understand it and spent the better part of 2 hours going through every single file on a 256gb kingston memory stick, before i finally realized what had gone down.
See, my little brother has a penchant for deleting things and royally messing up computers, that i usually have to attempt to reboot etc. Hence, why he didn't have a laptop of his own anymore. My rents refuse to let him use there's, and i did, up till he swore down that he would do nothing but look some stuff up on the net, then just turn it off.
It's been a fortnight since he begged and i finally caved as he needed to do research for a college paper. So i warned him till i was blue in the face, before finally caving. .Then i find my icons folder gone, the trash can empty and my brother with the lock on his bedroom door and refusing to answer me AT ALL.
I flipped. COMPLETELY.
40 minutes of me screaming my head off at his bedroom door, ripping his posters and pictures off it, threatening every bodily harm i could think of, it hit me and i rushed downstairs and raided his space under the stairs.
The Puma king SL is worth around $70 US, and being one of the most expensive footballs my brother has EVER owned, he only uses it for games that are important. .Or at least he DID. Because when i got my hands on it, i went into the back garden and shouted 'Hey John! Watch this!'.
Then i stabbed it with a pen knife.
So yeah. I'm so sorry about not being able to post you guys, but EVERYTHING is gone. My icon posts from the last 3/4 years, all my saved caps/cuts/bases. .EVERYTHING. I'm seriously trying to find anything that's on old backups, and i've got a few pieces that i've re-downloaded, but i honestly don't know when my next post will be now. Maybe not for a while.
Just blame my brother. I certainly do!
