new gadgets and such

So yeah....I think my mother's trying to buy my love.

And I'm LOVING IT!!!!

Anyway, so on Wednesday, we went to Ft. Wayne (the big city; how sad is that) to order my graduation party invitations, because my sister works at Kinko's-FedEx whatever it's called, and can get us a 30% discount. Pretty flippin sweet.

So then after we did that, we went to Best Buy and I'm all like, "What are we doing here?" And she said, "Well you need a laptop for college, right?" Well we had discussed this earlier, and she had seemed pretty set on getting me a desktop, if anything, so it wouldn't "grow legs." Which seemed reasonable, but I really wanted a laptop. So I was all happy and surprised and I'm like, "Okay." So we go in and talk to this salesguy in the computer area who's a real ass, and after a little bit he went off somewhere else, and she was like, "This is ridiculous, I'm not buying ANYTHING from him. Let's go to Circuit City."

So I figured we were leaving, but no, she walks over to the MP3 players instead and starts checking them out, and I asked her what she was doing, and she's like, "Well you've been talking about one of those e-Pod-things for forever; d'you wanna get one?" And I was like, "Well SURE." (C'mon, d'ya really think I'm gonna turn that down?) So we got one; not an iPod, I really have no desire for one; it's a nifty little Phillips doohickey, 30 gigs, and it's got this sweet touch-screen thing instead of just buttons---looks like a James Bond gadget or something.

So THEN we go to Circuit City, and there's a really nice salesguy there, so we bought me a lovely HP laptop with all the wireless-ness and CD/DVD playing/burning/awesome-ness and every other totally awesome thing you can think of (well, enough for me anyway) and a nifty backpack to carry it around in so I don't kill it in my bookbag like we all know I would, me being the super-klutz that I am.

So yeah. It was sweet. And then this evening I had to work, and I had to work with Candace, which I was NOT looking forward to because she has a tendency to be a....well....lazy bitch, that's really the only way to put it. But yeah, she was actually nice, and we got most everything done, which was surprising, considering how goddamned busy it was. DAMN YOU, ROANOKE TOWN-WIDE GARAGE SALE DAY!!!

anyhoo.....

So yeah I've been playing with my new gadgets the past few days---I got just about all of my gazillion CDs' worth of music put on there so I can carry around one sweet little gadget instead of my discman and my huge honking CD case.....Oh I'm so happy! :D

.....hold on a second.....

Dude there was just a huge car wreck outside my house---there's like, six police cars and an ambulance out there blocking half the highway....glad I'm already here.

Alrighty well I gots ta run now, play some more with my new stuff.

Later peeps!
