Crashing Not Like Hips Or Cars

Well I had quite the scare today.
For one, the power went out for a total for two and a half seconds. It was funny, we all kind of froze and waited for it to come back on. After I turned my computer back on though, it loaded it like I was a brand new Windows XP user. And I realized after I took the time to think about it that this meant all my stuff was gone. ALL of my school work, ALL of my pictures. My pictures! I almost cried. Seriously.

But before I realized all 4598237458923742 of my pictures could possibly be floating out in a black hole with no hope of return, I had the great idea to turn on a movie for my brother and my cousin. They're both two or so and my aunt is over helping out since my mom had surgery today. Only... to my dismay I saw something on the tv screen. First you need to know we have a huge tv. Like 53" and it probably cost a lot too. So I about died when I figured out it was juice. And I freaked out and went into hyperspeed as I ran upstairs to ask on yahoo answers how to clean it off. I used a damp baby washcloth with hot soapy water and gently washed it off. Its a little smudged but not sticky anymore. Then I discovered the juice all over the place. So I had to clean it up. I turned off the power strip to wash it off. Then i turned it on. Nothing. On. Off. ON. OFF. Onoffonoffonoffonoffonoff. Nothing. So freaking out again, I ran upstairs and got another power strip and replugged all the crap in. Turned it on. Nothing. Freaking out even more... So Jacob plugged in the extension chord to a different outlet and that worked. So we apparently beat the crap out of our outlet.

Anyways. After I cleaned up all the juice, plugged all the chords back in and thought I could relax I sat down and realized I had no documents on my computer. No documents means no pictures. So, getting ready to cry my eyes out, I restarted my computer. Luckily it worked and all my stuff is back.

So now I'm really tired. I was running around and freaking out, plus I didn't sleep too well and was awake a lot earlier than normal. So yeah.
