Computer Issues and what-have-you
I know I’ve been pretty absent for awhile (not just from here but from a lot of blogs), partly this is due to the computer crash I had a few months ago (didn’t have access to sims and I felt kinda gloomy looking at what everyone else was doing), as well as starting uni agan, and getting my first job and trying to figure out how to structure it all (still working on that) so I won’t fail or get fired etc.
Yeah, I really do like biting over more than I can chew it seems. Still, I should be able to work things out.
Harrington however, is gone. I got my computer back, but with a whole new hard-drive so none of my old content is there anymore. I could’ve asked them to try and get it back, but it would’ve been 100+$ which I didn’t really have at the time (poor student, that is me).
So yeah… Second time in a pretty short timespan that it’s happened. Beginning to wonder if perhaps this is a sign and that I should stop blogging about sims 
I’d have preferred less… Bothering ways of getting hints, like the game disk not working compared to having to get a whole new hard-drive (even if it was for free).
I haven’t started the big re-install-a-thon (anyone who’s ever re-installed sims 2 knows it’s a pain in the neck, I have 8 EPs and 8 SPs to install… I suppose I’ll be getting my uni-reading done in-between at least) just yet, but I’ll get to it later this evening and hopefully get it done before tomorrow (which is my big read-a-thon-so-we-can-get-back-on-track-with-studies day) and then we’ll see.
I do have an idea, or two, but I’ll have to look at schedule/studies etc. and see how I can work around it all without driving myself up the wall. An idea Laura offered back when Vivienne went bottoms up popped into my head, albeit somewhat differently, so I’m going to attempt to work that out and hopefully that’ll be my new project.
Until then this blog will likely remain as quiet until I decide where to go from here.
That said, I have sim-blogs to catch up on and eventually a whole lot (not just sims) stuff to re-install. Oh joy.
Aw, I’m sorry to hear about Harrington – what a shame!
I hope whatever the idea you have works out for you and good luck with the installation! I know what a pain that is, seeing I had to do it twice in one day when I got my current computer!

I’m a bit miffed, but at the same time part of me is sort of relieved and happy to attempt another project. Hopefully it’ll have a bit more backstory this time around and such, but we’ll see. I only work on it between lectures, reading and work so it’s slooow. Oh well, better slow and working than fast and burning I guess.
Luckily the re-install went fine! Phew, I would’ve cried if it hadn’t xD
