You Know That Feeling You Get When Your Laptop Explodes and All You're Left With Is Scorch Marks

Just as the title suggests, my laptop exploded (not in the Ka-BOOM kind of way) and left me without Internet and all the HUNDREDS of documents I had on it.

That includes five editorials for a class that I have to rewrite.

All the research I did for AP art.

All the pictures I ever found from any website.

All the music I ever uploaded.

And My Life.

After the malware sat back satisfied with it's delicious meal of scandals involving Justin Bieber's baby and entertainment via Memecenter, I called tech support in hopes of logically perfect way to kick the ugly thing off my computer and get back to my life and delete my facebook as it was the source of all my troubles.

If you didn't know, in November Facebook got hacked. Bad. And the hackers were giggling while they posted porn (yes, porn) all over the website, thus naming it "Porn"book. I wasn't aware of this. But when I logged on and my account told me that the password I had was compromised, I was quick to change my password to something completely unrelated. Unfortunately not quick enough. Within minutes my Internet was down, my security system disabled and I was robbed of my digital home.

Now, when I mentioned calling tech support, I was given a number of a generic company, not calling the company of my computer because, well, they ask for a receipt, which was long forgotten because our family tries to stay neat, but when we do we throw away papers we need. But anyway, tech support.

Now this tech support is probably the one we've all encountered: The outsourced Indian person, which has  really no clue but suppose that they could help us somehow. After twenty minutes of explaining what happened to the laptop, which did NOTHING, we started out on our over the phone adventure to screw up my laptop beyond repair. First we turned it back on. I had taken the battery out, hoping to salvage something on my computer unfortunately we had to try everything include open my files so the malware could get second helpings of my precious work. Then after about an hour of digging around the confines of my laptop, trying to open Internet Explorer (I prefer FireFox) and realizing that indeed my laptop was screwed.

Well, that was two hours wasted.

I decided that from that point on I was going to let the ugly little malware monster eat my files until it exploded.

I've yet to get that computer fixed, so I'm using my school computer to vent into this blog. But that's not all!

I'm going to put in some entertaining videos here, but do mind I'm showing you videos from my friends and family this time.
