Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

THEY SHIPPED MY COMPUTER!

*does happy dance*

This means that I'll have my pretty little laptop back in 2-3 business days, which is good because I HATE THIS FUCKING COMPUTER!

And it hates me back.

But that's ok because THEY SHIPPED MY COMPUTER!

Somebody stepped on my laptop, and now the screen is broken, and so until it gets fixed I have to use the big computer which HATES ME and whenever I go on livejournal tells me I've performed an illegal operation and shuts it down, so the moral of the story is I hate this computer back and I'll try my best to read people's journals.

In other news, I love Anna, Kristen, and Kelli today. We went to lunch.

And now, dinner!

Attention everyone! (But mostly Chad)

My brother did something to the computer and now all the icons and the mouse and all the screens and everything are all really big and we can't make them smaller. HELP!

It's possible that we're in Safe mode, because it looked like this before, but I don't know how to get out of Safe mode if we are in it, so if anyone knows how to do that...

Thank you!

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.
