Angry Car Wont Start!!

So i go to the mall tonight with a lady friend, and we come out to my car after and i go to start it up and no dice. I turn the key to run, and no lights come on on the instrument cluster. I didn't notice at first so i just turned the key and nothing happened. No click nothing, i was like what the ****. So i turn on the head lights and they are bright. So i tried jumping it and nothing happened. So my friend calls AAA for me. So the guy towed my car back to my house. When i got it here i tried swapping the fan relay over to the ignition relay and nothing. I am thinking a fuse or something to do with my ignition. Oh ya and we tried to bump start it and it wouldn't turn on. Like it was not getting spark. So i have run out of ideas and need some advice. Thanks in advance.

Yea,.. I was gonna say,.. Start with the most obvious,.. check the fuses first.

Too bad you had to use one of your AAA tows for a ******* fuse! Believe it or not,.. thats why I carry a Ziplock bag in the spare tire well with a single extra of every fuse in the car.

Along with some JB-Weld, brake cleaner a flathead, fillips, an LED light, Tire Patch Kit, 8mm ratchet wrench, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm sockets and ratchet, mini wire brush and my programer to run quick diagnostics. .... I'M NOT JOKING!!!!
