WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN
Okay, so the news is out. I’m making somewhat of a comeback. At the moment I’m working on two mods: Complete Cosmetix and my unnamed shop mod that will essentially be all of my existing armour, clothing and weapon mods put together in a nice, pretty building and sold by NPC’s instead of being littered around Cyrodiil in chests like they were originally, and I’ll be throwing in the vast majority of my newest, previously unreleased mods (all three of them) as well, so it makes it easier for me to release stuff.
Here’s a sneak peek at a set of armour I made a while ago (it’s just another shitty mashup…) that I never got around to releasing because I CBF’d making different colour schemes.
…oh God damn you, Linux.
Linux pulled through for me!!! Everything’s currently being copied to my boyfriend’s computer. I could cry. I really could.
FFFFFFFFFUUUU–

I’ve heard of men having epiphanies on tall, majestic mountains, and women having epiphanies in the form of near-death experiences.
Mine came to me in the shower (as they usually do).
The original reason I pulled my mods off the internet was because of Exnem and StormRaven, and the very illegal things they did. I was disgusted that they’d jeopardised an entire community over a mod. A fucking mod. And even then the arsehat dangled the fucking thing before people’s eyes for over a year with clearly no intention of releasing it.
Well, guess what, Exnem? Nobody wants your shitfest of a mod anyway. Kindly jam it up your arse (if you can squeeze it past your head, that is).
So, my epiphany was this: By pulling my mods, I was essentially cutting off my nose to spite my face, as it were. People genuinely enjoyed my work and I received a tonne of emails and PM’s on both Nexus and the Eye Candy forums thanking me. The kindness and gratitude I was shown warmed my heart so much that I finally came to a conclusion.
I decided I’d repackage my work and re-release it in new, better forms. Clothing and armour mods would be worked on, new colour variations would be added, errors in my very, very bad rigging would be rectified and everything (including my weapons) would be repackaged into a shop mod, along with a whole bunch of new outfits I’ve made over the last couple of months. My race mods would have new hair and MAYBE new eyes added, and I’d pack the files into BSA archives for easier storage. And I’d FINALLY get around to finishing Complete Cosmetix.
I was psyched about all of this. I really was. Instead of going to sleep after coming home from SupaNova (Pop culture festival) at five in the afternoon, I got to work on my mods.
At about 8:30 that evening, my computer flashed an error message along the lines of ‘Windows has encountered a serious error. Your computer will shut down in one minute. Please save your open work.’ So I rushed to save everything, and closed all the programmes I had open to aid the shutdown process. I figure, it’s okay, I’ll just reboot.
Windows wouldn’t start up.
…BUT I’ve got a few friends coming over tomorrow night to see if I can salvage anything. I genuinely DO want to put my work back up. I figure, I WAS a massive bitch about the whole thing, and as an apology, I’ll make my existing work BETTER. It won’t count for much, but it’s all I can think of.
…here’s hoping we can get some of my stuff back. Fingers crossed.
Also, I hate Linux, but the reality of it is… I have to rely on it for the time being.
At least it’s not Mac OS.
Dammit.
I’m in the middle of working on an outfit for myself when my computer flashes an error message that says something along the lines of “Windows is really fucked up, you have a minute to save your shit before we shut down kthnx”. So I hurry to save everything and figure, okay, it’s safe, I’ll just reboot and get beck to work.
So I reboot.
And Windows won’t start up.
Apparently the computer can’t connect to my HDD anymore.
So essentially, I’ve lost everything. All my mods, my screenshots, my photos, my music, a LOT of anime and J-dorama… everything.
And the really shitty thing is that I only reinstalled Windows last month. So what the fuck?!
…in other news, Supanova (pop culture festival) was fun. I now have a custom Pullip doll, made to look like Chii from Chobits. It’s as close to a Dollfie as I’ll ever get, and she’s really gorgeous. I should start making her some new outfits.
I managed to photobomb a few people (and boobbomb one person, hurf durf). Pics when a certain someone gets off his arse and processes all the photos he took. There’s an awesome shot of me with my head peeking out from beneath my friends dress (she was cosplaying as Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast). CBF going for both days (apparently abducting Eliza Dushku is illegal so I won’t bother, and I’m not really interested in Vic Micderpaderfnogna). I like having money to get to work next week. Ah, well.
I’m bored. I think I’ll go make a coffee and clean my room a bit.
