Holy Crap I Almost Burned the Apartment Down.
Seriously, I could have started a fire. I'm peeing my pants right now. Was sitting here and suddenly smelled something burning. Then my monitor went dark - well, went dim. My laptop was plugged in... Something must have happened to my power source. Started to freak out because the power cord was plugged in behind the sofa. Looked behind the sofa and saw no fire. My power cord for my computer was under a blanket beside the sofa. Didn't realize it. Moved the blanket and smelled the burnt electronics smell. Went to grab the power thingy and it burned my hand. SOOOOOO freaking scary. What if I fell asleep?! Maybe it woulnd't have actually started a fire... The thing is just fried, now. Which totally blows. My battery is half gone... SUCK. Now I'm going to have to buy a new one. Crap. Actually, should probably shut the computer down right about NOW.
(Of course, this means that I still can't start my Christmas shopping... Was going to start shopping online tonight - yeah... waiting till the last minute... crap crap crap crap crap.)
(Oh, and the thingy is still freaking HOT!)
