angry

i am very, very angry.
this is the SECOND time that somehow my pictures have been lost/deleted. 792 photos. LOST. i hate my computer. hate it hate it hate it!
i seriously want to cry. these photographs are my life. 792! seven hundred and freaking ninety two pictures. and they are all gone. i dont understand how this can keep happening to me.
i am really upset.
all i do is put the card into the computer and then for some reason they wont open up and so i put it back into the camera and it says that i have no photos. none. it does not make sense and it should not happen. i put the card in the computer all the time. and then for some reason today [and that one time before] it does this stupid stuff and ruins my life. i dont even do anything. i really really am going to go cry.
some of those photos were SO good. this sucks, it really really sucks. i hate losing moments that i actually was able to capture. i feel like i have instantly lost and forgotten huge parts of my living in france. i hate this. i hate this. i hate this. i hate this. i hate this!!!!

it sucks that you lost all of your photos but i think it's important to remember that you remember all those memories. sure, photos are nice and all to share with everyone, but as long as you can remember and are able to tell the stories behind it all then i think it is still good. then again, photos are great pieces of art that can remind you of the littlest (but still greatest) moments of your life. So I guess I'm stuck at a crossroads.

I'm sorry - what a pain! Maybe someone else on your program took some of those same shots.

But also, Emma, you didn't really lose those memories. The pictures are nice, surely, but the memories can never be taken away!

(I do truly feel for you - we lost all our family pictures from the time Ben was 2 months old until he was 10 months, because our computer crashed and I never had backed them up. Now I have no photos of him learning to walk or sit up.... but my mom/Mindy had some and, also, I do still have the memories - all the same, it DOES suck!"

Keep a diary while you're on study abroad! You won't regret it (this blog can serve that purpose! Enjoy Paris! Damn the technology, full speed ahead!)

So sorry about the photos. Somehow when things are gone they seem even more important than when you have them. You just have to put it behind you but I'd be lying if I said you would forget it. The first three times I went to Europe I never even took a camera. It is hard to remember things but I don't think a picture is worth a thousand words. I think writing things down is irreplaceable.

Love,
Aunt Karen

i need to talk to you, i'm so sorry that i'm not using facebook or livejournal or something, i meant to respond back to you a million times, but i figured this would be more personal since i don't have your e-mail address. ugh, i almost don't want to get started with all the things i want to tell you. i might just wait until i can sort out my thoughts a bit more, actually i just remembered i can get your e-mail off of facebook.
