h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Have you ever had something that had everything in it, such as a journal or a disc with every important thing you’ve ever really needed being on that disc? Now, have you ever lost that disc? I have, and I’m going through a great realization of how lost I am without it. I’m sure most people have gone through something like this (and if you haven’t yet, you will.) It’s a feeling almost like an overwhelming sense of emptiness. A vast universe where all this knowledge was contained is now oblivion, and you feel like you’re going to collapse into nothing.
Ok, I know this is over exaggerated. Nevertheless, you know the feeling. There is no way to get whatever you lost back, and it's just become one of those days.

You HAVE lost it.

LOL, Yeh. I just lost 3 very important things within the same month. I lost my little notebook that had all those ideas of mine (you know the one), I lost my assignment notebook that had a collection all these documents (poems, quotes, research, ect.) that I found last year during school, and then I went to the library to see what I had on the schools computer and ALL the files I backed up had been erased. That's Years of work that I had done... GONE! And for most of the things I've lost, I don't have a single copy of them. I printed off most of my reports when they were finnished, but anything else is gone. (sigh) Not Good.

Wow...WAY not good! All the genius to waste! That's really depressing. I remember the one time I had my story (you know the one) all typed up...completely...and backed up nicely. Then my computer needed a good cleaning out, then the disk it was on didn't work, then Alyssa's computer (my hird and final backup) died, never to see the light of day again. I had to start from scratch and never finished. Of course, I had a hard copy. You, now, do not. It's alright though. I'm sure your genius will not suffer much loss, you can always write newer and better stuff.
