   Newsa Laptops!
Shut up, Jar-jar! *force choked*

I got a new laptop today! This means I can stay in touch while on the trip. Everybody cheer! :D

*cricket cricket* =_=

Well, anyhow, now I don't have to deal with Daniel having it the majority of the time. That's good. It's actually the primary reason it was bought. It's the current bottom of the line (have you seen the prices on the Air!? Holy crap...) but I really don't need more than that. The new ones come with Leopard though, and that takes a bit of exploring. And the trackpad stinks. But again, no problem.

Going to get it was really interesting. While picking out a protective case, an old classmate of mine walked in with his parents. They'd come to look at the Air's (they're freakin' rich). Kinda talked for a bit-- he looked really awkward-- before the mother of another former classmate from the same school walked in. *insert some confused line about fate/Universe/God here*

My mom and the other mom ended up talking about going professional in the art world (the other lady's daughter is one of those people who, when you look at their art, you look back down at your own, then hers again, and scream "WHY?!" in despair) and I meandered over to Hot Topic (Kiss me--I'm emo! :D) and stared at paraphanelia for about 15 minutes before they were done.

Robotic was fun today. I got to write algorithms! Meaning I got to be useful! Despite the team needing a logo and all, it's nice to actually be involved in the actual process.

Now, I know I said I was gonna leave for Colorado today (and some of you are probably wondering why I haven't said anything about it yet), but after calculating the amount of money gas plus motels would cost on the way up, Mom and I decided it would be cheaper to take a plane on friday instead. So we're flying out early tomarrow morning. Really early. As in wake-up-at-a-completely-incomprehensable-hour early. To catch our flight, we have to get up at four. D: Not fun. Thus, after I respond to y'alls comments, I'll be going to bed.

timechaser: Hey, don't worry about it. The whole wimp thing is just my ego going "Ahg! But I could do it before!" No depression is coming out of this. But thank you. It's not often I find people who actually care that much.^_^ And I could PM you a list of what I've seen/read. Cool?

DaFeather: I started reading Death Note before it exploded, actually. Saw an add in Shonen Jump, went "Huh. That looks kinda neat." and read. It's probably the only series a fandom has spoiled for me, though. I can hardly look at it straight now. D:

Allamorph: So because you're an eldest you think you have the advantage, hm? Well, I happen to be one too, albeit of three instead of four, but at that point it really doesn't make any difference, now does it? So this I say unto you: Bring it on! In the end, I promise it will be you who has died of laughter!

And by popular demand, no one is any longer a tater.

You are now all chips instead! XP

Fishin', Chips! (oh, gak...)

Oh, and happy belated Valentine's/Single Awareness Day-- whichever you prefer.
