FIRE; My kitchen just caught on fire.

[Daddy]

I was sitting here all depressed because someone hates me for no reason (  ) when i heard something explode.

I went into the kitchen and see the counter next to the sink ablaze.  I just went "Oh FUCK" and saw that the paper towels were starting to burn too, so I grabbed those and threw them to prevent them from making the fire worse.

I grabbed the water squirty thing from the sink and sprayed it on the fire: bad idea; it got worse.  I think there was some olive oil or some shit that was on the strainer that was burning.  The fire shot up the wall and was inches from setting the curtain on fire ;-;.

I searched for a fire extinguisher and found one.  I then removed the pin and pulled the trigger...nothing happened.
I ran down stairs and into the basement looking for another, which I could not find.  This was a bad idea since when I came back the fire had gotten worse.

I then just grabbed a huge pot and put it over the candle and sprayed water over the rest.  Luckily that worked or I would have been fucked.

Here is a pic of what was left.

tis why you make sure your fire extinguishers work, though
