Choklit Blog #4: I FINALLY got a new computer!

hey y'all, i know it's been more than a week, but i haven't had time for blogging lately. so, last weekend was tax free weekend. well my mom decided to buy me and my bros new clothes, so she took us to the mall for 5 hours and bought us a bunch of clothes and shoes and what not. of course, i couldn't find a single pair of jeans that fit the whole time we were there. so we decided to go shopping again the next day for jeans. up until this point, everything was making sense to me. i mean, that seems like a pretty normal thing to do, right? well i should know my mom a little better than that. the next day, we left to "go buy jeans"... at the apple store? i had asked my mom like 3 times what we needed at the apple store and she said "computers." well i had no clue what she was talking about, because i didn't figure someone would just go buy 3 computers out of nowhere. i guess i've never met my mom. she bought 3 macbooks that day (one for me and one for each of my bros), and each one came with a free iPod touch. so basically, i woke up in the morning expecting to buy new jeans, and i went to bed that night with a brand new macbook and iPod touch. oh yeah... that's my definition of a VERY good day.

so after all of these strange random occurrences, i got to thinking. it's a good thing i didn't get a new computer when i wanted one before. i mean, when i was about 6, my best friend and her 2 older brothers all got computers for Christmas. of course, i decided i wanted my own computer. did i get one? no way! i was 6... and i hardly even knew how to use a computer. by now, those computers are all dead, and mine would have been too. so i waited many long years until, lo and behold, we bought a laptop. a few years later, my mom needed a new computer and my brother came up with a brilliant idea. give the old laptop to whichever one of us got the best grades that year in school. i got that computer and had it for about a year, but it's basically a paperweight now. it runs slower than a 500 lb asthmatic, it probably weighs as much as one, and it's bigger than my mom's hair was in the 90s. when it first started to get really slow and overheat a lot, i, of course, wanted a new one. well again, i didn't get one. if i had, my brothers would now have macbooks and iPod touches and i would have a $500 PC. good thing i was patient... well... sort of... almost patient... ish. ok wow i just ruined that whole thing... basically, the point was that sometimes it's better to wait for something... notice the keyword here... SOMETIMES. don't wait until tax free weekend is over to buy new clothes! (but it's already over, so i guess now you have to wait until next year, which comes right back to the original lesson. why yes, i would love to shut up now).

OTHER RANDOM THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: i made a facebook quiz called "do you REALLY know me?" if you're my friend on facebook, look for that quiz on my profile and take it! / i didn't get to buy a new cd / um... i ate a chick-fil-a / i cut my bangs / i bought some awesome shoes / i had a fairly boring week / KEEP ROCKIN AND NEVER STOP --MC
