leia131Ok.
So who wants to hear the computer story? I know you all do. It's funny.
My laptop was supposed to arrive yesterday. It was being shipped from Taiwan, or somewhere near there. The Far East anyways. It was being shipped by FedEx, and it is a Gateway computer. It did not arrive yesterday.
There's this thing online where you can track your packages. So my mother went on last night to see where my computer was, because it was not at our house. The site said my computer was in Tennessee. Why Tennessee? No one knows.
My mom couldn't call the Gateway people last night, so she called them this morning. They informed her that the computer had been mislabled with the wrong address and was being shipped back to Gateway. There it would be dismantled, because that's what Gateway does with computers that go to the wrong places. Why do they do this? No one knows.
So Gateway told Mom that they'd order us a new computer, but it would take another two weeks to get here. By that time, I will already be in college. NOT COOL.
Now, my mom told me all this around Noon today. Then we got in a huge fight (because that's what my family does when we are stressed) about something that I don't even remember what it was now, but it involved my mom not speaking to me, and me being glad about that.
However, I am never one to let things like that lie. So after I calmed down a bit, Mom and I hashed out our issues and made up the way famalies who are really fighting because the world is full of IDIOTS WHO LOSE COMPUTERS AND THEN TAKE THE A-FUCKING-PART do.
I went back upstairs, to resume cleaning my bookshelf. I was up there maybe ten minutes, (that's ten minutes after we finish fighting and discussing how stupid FedEx and Gateway are, and maybe four hours after Mom was told the computer was nowhere to be found) when I heard the dog barking.
In our driveway was a FedEx truck. In the truck was my laptop, which is now sitting quite peacefully in the other room, all in one piece, unharmed, and nowhere near Tenessee.
Why does Gateway think the computer is lost? What will happen to the second computer Gateway ordered, at no charge to us? No one knows.
What's the moral of the story? Hewlett Packard.
P.S. I told Mom we should sue Gateway for emotional distress, and she didn't seem to think that was such a bad idea.

I have no problem making fun of myself or things I love. Obviously. (There was that time last week when my grandma said that Bush was going to some seminar or convention and I told her that IQ camp must be next on the list.) <-- She lacks the ability to laugh stuff like I can (aka, I hate Bush to the moon and back but people should learn to laugh at themselves more. Mhmm. That's my lesson for the day. Tomorrow: SEX! I thought every day was sex...
Okay, I'm leaving now.
MUAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
