So I went to Target today and bought myself a flash drive so I could be all organizational and productive and stuff.
Tonight, after moving all my work documents, I decided to take a step towards greater computerized organization and move all my photos into the flash drive. So I took all the .jpg files from my personal folder and copied them into a new folder named "Pics" that was then going to get moved to my flash drive. Then I deleted all said .jpg files from my personal folder to the trash. And then I emptied my trash.
But then I opened up my new "Pics" folder and IT WAS EMPTY.
All gone.
ALL.
GONE.
*poof* Off into the unreachable interwebs ether.

WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
...I'm summoning up all the optimism I can possibly muster with every ounce of my being to tell myself that - if the pictures were really all that important to me, they would already be in my blog, or Flickr account, or Facebook, or iPhoto. Right? RIGHT?!?!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
.
BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
...Ugh. At least my laptop feels lighter already.
UPDATE:
Well. I found one folder of pictures that miraculously managed to evade The Great Idiotic Photo Purge of 2011. So at least I still have about twenty photos of BB from 2009 and photos of my mom's visit to Texas two years ago. Hahaha...
