Re: what lies in lost files
yeah i did that a while ago and found a small army of uncompleted stories, half written poems and unnused novel ideas, as well as little snippets of ideas for cd titles and covers, band names, and sick versions of old sayings or jokes.
if only i had the drive to follow up on any of my ideas :)
Re: what lies in lost files
i've been working on trying to get my old packard bell circa 1993 to boot up. i have all my teen angst journals from high school in there.
and i love finding old p0rn that i used to hold near and dear but had long forgotten about.
Re: what lies in lost files
I only write stuff like that on paper

Who said anything about pron? srsly do you ppls think i'm that kind of perv that only searches for old pron on my hard drive? O.o (..so yeah thats what i was looking for but what does that say about me that ppl i don't even know think thats what i was looking for?)
Paper- the only down side to this medium is that ink fades and a few years later reading your own hand writing (like with a pen) is almost impossible. i've also noticed that time, bugs, mice, etc like to EAT paper. and cats like to claw it to ribbons and then chase it around the house. whe i get home i plan on spending alot of time transferring all my paper files to the puter.

Re: what lies in lost files
Sometimes I will find an old notebook or something and sometimes there will be some really cool lyrics or ideas in there and sometimes old work is really cringeworthy.
Re: what lies in lost files
the nice thing about paper is it's easy to destroy stuff that should never have been recorded....and know that it's really gone
