Thanks everyone, I always feel better after coming on here and having people being so supportive! I actually got my friend (okay, ex-boyfriend) to look at my computer. He took it home with him and worked on it all night. He's fixed my family's computers for us for the past 3 years, and he loves working on them. Unfortunately, he told me he can't even get the computer to recognize there's even a hard drive there, and it's making weird noises. He was going to see if his friend could take it to work (computer store) to look at it, but I haven't heard from him in a couple of days. If I can get my pictures off it for not too much money that would be great since I wanted to get a new computer in a couple months anyway. And I should be glad that it died now instead of 2 months ago when I was still in school and didn't have my 50-page final project report backed up anywhere
I'm still kind of upset about my car, but these things happen. At least the accident wasn't my fault, and nobody was hurt. The other woman was so apologetic and the first thing she said was "This was my fault" so I'm glad that if I had to T-bone anyone, it was someone like her!
My boyfriend is on his way home now. He's probably 2 hours away right now. He said he would pick me up and take me to his house and give me a ride to work tomorrow. My car is still driveable, but a big chunk of bumper is hanging down and dragging on the road so I don't want to drive it for now. My brother is going to break that off for me when he has time.
Thanks again for listening to me vent!
