Hey!

Ok.

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 really love all my friends.



I don't know what's just come over me, but I need you all to know that.

God I really do just love you all.

And sometimes you annoy me, and sometimes I annoy you, but I love you all and I miss you all when you're not around.

And I want always to stay in touch. No matter if it's seeing you every day or only a card at Christmas. I'll treasure it always because that's what I do.

Someday, if we aren't connected anymore, you can all look back and think that once, many years ago, you were loved, truly and wholly by a girl named Megan. And that she probably still loves you.

And if we are still connected, you can rest easy knowing that you are loved by at least one person in the world.

I think I'm going to cry.

Remember this post. Please.




I shouldn't be allowed to stay up this late and think.

I have some unpleasant news.

I discovered tonight that the reason my head has been itching for the last week and a half is that I do in fact have lice.

So if you have seen me since basically the very end of July/beginning of August, just letting you know that I had lice. (They are all gone now, the house is clean and my head has been insecticided.)

However, I researched this, and basically what it comes down to is lice have existed since mankind has existed, and they get passed from one person to another. You cannot get them from pets. So somebody somewhere that I came into contact with had lice and gave them to me. To this person, I say thank you. NOT!

So anyways, just letting you all know.

P.S. Janeea, I realize I may have sounded earlier like I was accusing you. I wasn't.

Love you all, and especially love my parents for being so calm through all this nonsense.
