My district is on a break. Not for a holiday. Not for a meeting. We're just on break. So I'm out visiting family and getting spoiled rotten.
...
Fun.
...
So, I agreed to sell my old laptop. It was sad. I had named it.
...
Yes, named it. It was THE TANK. You could not kill it without the right tools to take off the casing and a blowtorch. Their whole gimic was that they could run over it with an H1, pick it up, turn it on, and send an email by satelitte internet. But it was slower and the screen sucked. It was heavy and didn't have a disk drive. I still loved it. cry
...
But anyway, now I have a new one. It's a wide screen, light weight Toshiba with an LCD screen and a high memory. eek
It has only shown one problem, It boots me out of one video game my dad and I play together. Our family bonding time is me on maneuvers for a space ship and hijacking enemy vehicals on land while dad throws grenades and does a few kamikaze/divebomber runs. ninja
But appearently my computer and I have the same stand on Star Wars: "I'll put up with it for only so long."
...
I name almost every thing. My future car, currently my mom's is Sally, it's a mustang, figure it out. My home computer is Frankenstein, because my dad built it out of the remains of over ten different towers. My old laptop was The Tank. And my new laptop is officially, White Rabbit.
That can be taken as a tribute to the Matrix, but I see it more as the Alice in Wonderland version. It's a fast little thing and the White Rabbit is always shown in a rush. I think I'll have a Decemberunderground (AFI) sticker on it before too long. And I already have its screen saver saying "Down The Rabbit Hole". Everything just fits with that name. It almost makes my main email crashing and forcing me to my secondary account seem like fate. I had already made that account and it's yet another spin on Alice in Wonderland's White Rabbit.
This laptop will probably last me 5 to 10 years. I think it was worth it. But I have never had that much money at one time in my life. It really makes me appreciate my dad. I was going to get a cheaper model, on sale, I would've even have taken the floor model if it had an extra discount. I don't know how dad even got me to consider a higher priced one. But he did manage to get it under the max limit set in secret by my mom. And he got a 35% discount on top of that!
