Lost: Green Composte Notebook

I lost my green composite notebook today.  Like a dummy, I left it on the roof of my jeep when bringing my brother to school.  I saw it fly off, and I debated on if I should stop and get it. 
'Nah', I thought.  'I'll pick it up on my return trip.'  On my return trip, I couldn't find it anywhere.  It was like trying to find Waldo in an I Spy book(Hint: he isn't in one). I eventually gave up because it either moved to a spot I couldn't see as I don't have my glasses or someone picked it up. 
So, just in case someone did pick it up, I posted a lost ad in the newspaper.  90 fricken dollars, but my notebook is worth it.  Its almost my life and I also posted a reward if it is still in one piece.  I still have my blue composite but... It still saddens me.  I have three stories in it.  Two finished, rough drafts but finished and my Deus Ex TF2 story.  Which isn't- WASN'T finish but nearly there. Well, I can still work on my other two short stories I had queued up as side stories of the Deus Ex TF2 story.  And I still have to work out my *ahem* Meme story I was inspired by awhile ago.  I'm still writing so the notebook wasn't an entire loss and I start my new job tomorrow!  :D Today was a rough day, maybe tomorrow will be a bit more smoother.

Have no Fear! Steam Cloud is here! And his sidekick YT!

So.  It wasn't all I feared.  I didn't loose everything per say like I thought.  I had enabled my 'Sync with Steam Cloud' option on.  So every save I had, that was compatible with Steam Cloud was saved.  :D  Like my 30 hour Deus Ex: HR game saves?  Still there.  Thank goodness. 

And I'm getting inspiration for my TF2 story, which ties with Deus Ex.  Thanks to ThePianoGuys on YT.  They re-done a song by Adele called Rolling in the Deep.  Fricken beautiful song.


I'm thinking of using this inspiration for a prelude to the Deus Ex story.  Makes me all giddy thinking about it.  Love getting inspired.  Welp, that's all for now.  Off to write.  :D

Steam Died. Basically lost everything.

So.  Downloaded the Tf2 Beta from 2007 to try out the Source Filmmaker.  Neat little device, not going to lie.  But it killed Steam. 

Corrupted everything.  Lost all my screenshots that I hadn't uploaded to Steam Cloud.  All my saves.  Data of games so I have to re-download everything.  Everything.  I haven't felt this numb since my house burned down a few years ago. Haven't felt this angry since my little brother erased my 360 hard drive. 

It makes me wonder why I bother sometimes.  What's the point of trying to get things when some little fucking bug comes along and erases everything?  Everything I've accomplished, just disappears like dust in the wind.  Like it didn't even exist. 

But at least it didn't corrupt my entire hard drive.  If I'd have lost my writings...

Hell I don't know.  I'm upset, but I know I'd sure be depressed if I lost those.
