To everyone who suggested I get an external hard drive:
Duh, I already thought of that. I have a cheap external that won't mount properly (frustrating), but my main issue is that i can't really live without the files i have on my machine. I've already tried backing up and clearing what I can, but I need at least some of my music (after all, what's the use of having it if i can't listen to it?) as well as my last month's worth of photos, all of my in-progress PSD files, and so on and so forth. My applications, as well, I'm not about to clear off my computer.

Sadly, the solution is not that simple, but thank you all for wanting to help.

I guess I got a little annoyed there that everyone thought I was so stupid that I couldn't have somehow come up with the idea of using an external storage device, so I'm sorry if I was snappy responding to anyone's comments.

I get really defensive about stuff like that.
I AM NOT A DUMB GIRL.
Did you know... that I am a professional computer-user? Yep, I make a living on knowing how to use these machines. So please, please, please give me some credit.

*sigh*

Really, I'm good.
Don't know why my line is so short these days.
Sometimes these things just happen. Weather's changing. Brain's expanding into the vacuum of space and it's oppressive, and cold. Which makes me think of tumbling lifeless from the airlock.

Someone come over and watch hours upon hours upon hours of Battlestar Galactica with me. Now! I'll make my nummy popcorn and we can drink iced tea. And maybe cuddle.
