So I guess I should start with the MOST important one...
I KILLED MY COMPUTER!!! (Cries)
What happened is that I was working on some kits for the scrap booking thing, and it suddenly froze. It has been having problems with freezing lately, and programs not opening like it should, and so I thought it was just nothing. I thought I needed to restart it.
Well.... I held down the power button, and it went off. I pushed it again, thinking I had taken care of the problem to have a big, blue screen come up saying that Windows had an error and was stopped from running to protect my computer. I thought, hey no big deal. I had run a virus scan that same day, and nothing came up. SO I did what it said, and tried to run it in safe mode. Same problem. So I tried again, and tried again, and again, and again. Every time doing something different, trying to get it to come back up. And nothing worked!!!! I was so sad.
I called my dad, and he said to unplug it, and let it sit for a bit. So I did just that. And still, no dice. So I did everything that I could think of, and nothing. I called my uncle, couldn't get him on the phone. Called my dad again, and nothing.
So my brother got me in touch with a friend in Oregon whom is a computer genius. He heard the error, and knew EXACTLY what had happened. What happened is I CRASHED WINDOWS!!!
I crashed the OPERATING SYSTEM!!! The hard drive should be fine, but the operating system is scrapped. I have to get the recovery disk from my father to get it re-installed, and PRAY that everything is still on my computer. If anything else, I won't wipe the drive. I will take it out, and send it to my brother's friend to get everything off of it.
And it turns out, it wasn't my fault. It was something that can take 6 months or more to happen, and I got it from my family about 3 months ago. So that's not my fault! Laughs. But it is still something that happened to me, and still I don't have the portable hard drive that I need to back up all my files. My music is mostly off of it, but my pictures, that's what I want more than anything. And my videos. That would be nice to have on there too. Gosh, I just have the best of luck don't I?
SO this is my weekend. Besides being an EMOTIONAL WREAK and crying A LOT, having my computer die, and work not being as busy as I would like, it has been pretty uneventful!
I am typing this on my sister's computer, and so VERY grateful that she is letting me use it.
And my best friend from Utah is coming to visit me, I am so very excited! 1 week and 3 days until she is here!!! YAY!!!
