So today I woke up to a computer that threw pop-up messages at me, claiming that one of my .dll files had disappeared. Couldn't get anything running besides the internet, and I told my Dad about this for help as I am just NOT a computer person. He started going on about something called ".dll hell". He said apparently as soon as you start messing with those files you can really screw up your computer. I was informed that if my computer crashes, which it might've, I might have to wipe my computer; loose all my stories and documents .

I wasn't looking forward to that, and after mumbling to myself how great it would be to have my ex-boyfriend still around so he could help me fix my computer, I went searching on the internet for the missing file. I found it, downloaded it, found out where to place it and after restarting the computer I fixed it in about 5 minutes.

I informed my Dad about my achievement and he just looked at me in disbelief. He told me I was lucky, and he wasn't joking. He said I was lucky that I fluked it off before my computer crashed and to never do it again (though I'm not even sure what I did the night before). All I could think was either, he was a huge over exagurator (and so were his friends once I told him the story afterward) or I just had luck leaking out of my ears .

Whatever the reason, makes me feel a little smug about the whole thing I fixed my computer! Me! A 15 year old who doesn't know jack **** 'bout computers at all!
