Why Computers Hate Me?

[fullygoldy]

Seriously.  I had a file on my thumb drive.  I opened it and edited it earlier this evening.  Then I set my laptop aside, which shut down! totally long before the battery should have died.  So when I went to reopen the file, it's NOT THERE!  Not only is my edited file missing, which fine, I could deal with that, but the original file is no longer on my thumb drive!  Nor my hard drive.

And fine, it's not like it was the great american novel or what not.  It was actually me whining about the fact that all my adult life, everyone has assumed I'm totally straight and vanilla, and freakin PROPER, when I think maybe I'm not so much, but how am I ever going to test that hypothesis, when other people (in the past) took it upon themselves to warn off potential partners from any flavorful shenanigans?!?!  And in the here and now, I'm totally not going to be learning anything new about myself in any literal way, because my one-and-only partner is usually on the DL, and I can see that in the future, when I am no longer constrained by monogamy (which is so not my friend, nor my nature) it will be WAY TOO LATE to even bother.  AND FINE, it was way too TMI, but what the hell - all my online friends have raised TMI to an artform.  I was just gonna play along. ::glare::  It's totally a sign that I need to get over myself, I know.  but dayum.  I'm too young to be celibate.

Plus, there were a couple of humorous anecdotes about college!goldy's shenanigans, including a totally unselfconscious Halloween costume where I dressed like a gangster (with a penciled on mustache!) and the guy I was hitting on couldn't kiss me because of the 'stache.  I ask you, what red-blooded man is going to let a bit of eyeliner on the upper lip stop him from hitting a totally cute and willing chick?  I never did figure that one out.

Also, I have been sucked into watching the comm kradamadness and it is full of cracky goodness.  Yesterday I bought Lambert's first CD and played it in my car today.  I predict many more commutes with OTT Adam singing to me.  And damn, I totally have been trying to figure out that eye makeup technique for at least 2 years - he nailed it on the cover photo:. 

Eta: might as well add the pic!
