Site5 sent me an email a while back saying that my website would be moved to a new server because, of course, this one had problems (down once or twice in a year? pfft.). Anyway. They specifically said in the email ‘YOU. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. DO. A. THING.’ so I didnt. I know I know, I shoulda backed up my databases. But I been so busy.

Anyway. I came here yesterday after the move to a new server and found, oh dear, database error. When I looked in my control panel, I found my database had gone. Great going, Site5. You make my day a whole lot funner. Not only that, but my FTP login details had been changed, and I didnt have a clue what to. So I was stuck without my beloved. Angry post on twitter, ticket straight to Site5, cry in corner.

It’s all fixed now though. I can log in to FTP, and my databases are back, fully restored. What Gods.

Just goes to show that please, Aimee, back up your stuff, even if they say that ‘YOU. REALLY. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. WORRY.’ and that ‘YOU. MAY. NOT. EVEN. NOTICE. THE. MOVE.’

Manda got me thinking of my past life the other day, from before I joined the Q*Bee, before I got this domain. As I may have mentioned sometime before (or not), back when I was 12/13/14 I went on Habbo Hotel a lot, and met some of the most amazing people there who I remained best friends with for ages – and when I say best friends, I mean I-know-almost-everything-about-you best friends; I told them my personal problems, my feelings when I was going through depression, and even some of them got to know my address and phone number. Eventually, though, due to stress, annoyances, and want of a new ‘life’, I quit, ditched MSN Messenger/Skype etc, and left the internet. When I came back, I began doing other things, like TCGs, webdesign, pixelling and, eventually, blogging.

I do regret leaving them all. Blogging, no offense, just doesn’t have the same feel to it as running around in that virtual hotel and holding parties did. Although I love to just write a load of drabble and post it, hoping for some comments, instant messaging really was awesome for making some great friends. For getting so close to people that, in the end, you like them better than those people you know in the flesh.

I quit the Quilting Bee. After a whole year and three months (or something), I’m finally a ‘retired bee’. That was a very, very weird and hard thing for me to do.

People said to me ‘oh, you may as well stay’. But, tbh, there was no point. It was beginning to annoy me, how I couldn’t be bothered to trade, or participate in any activities, or even post on the bbs. Joining was literally just a spur-of-the-moment thing, and although I don’t regret it (definitely do NOT regret it), after a year it just got too ridiculous. I wish I could’ve made myself enjoy it a lot more and stayed, because the community was just amazing. But I couldn’t. As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t. I’m thankful that I did join though, because I have met some amazing people, found some incredible blogs to follow, and I even improved slightly on my pixelling. I’m glad I can continue the whole social thing by just visiting blogs – if I couldn’t do that, then I would’ve definitely stayed.

Just thought I’d justify for anyone who wanted to know.

–> I feel surprisingly lost and empty now. =/ Woops.
