LAPTOPS

So I've mostly been trying to find a good laptop. My aunt took me to a few places like Best Buy, OfficeMax, etc., but sadly all the good ones are like 600-800 dollars, and I only have 300 or so. So pfft. But I did notice that EVERYTHING comes with Windows 7, a DVD drive, wireless Internet and most have built-in webcams. That's pretty much all the stuff I want, so cool. But Thom says I'm supposed to get an i5 Core and 4 GB DDR3 memory or something. There were a few with the memory but I haven't seen an i5 yet. Everything's i2 or i3. So then I was considering looking on eBay for one I could afford, 'cause Dad said I can use his bank account, but I don't wanna go through all that verification crap. I wish you could just mail checks or money orders or whatever. ;_;

Also I've been baking a lot. First I made chocolate chip cookies, then I made cherry pudding (which, as it turns out, is not pudding but rather a cake with chunks of cherry in it), then cherry pie (which I ruined by making the filling too liquid-y), then sugar cookies, then more chocolate chip. As you can tell, we have more cherries than we know what to do with, 'cause we have a cherry tree in our yard.

PIE!

Hm.

So... even though I love Anna, sometimes I also develop side-crushes on other people, too. It's probably a bad idea to go out with someone while Anna's the only thing on my mind, but I can't really help it. Plus it's not like anyone would want to go out with me anyway. But yeah.

It's just... it really sucks being alone like this, especially when I'm constantly forced to watch/listen to other couples' happiness, and sometimes I wish I could have, like, a temporary girlfriend. Just until Anna loves me. But then I quickly realize that that would be really cruel to the other girl. I mean, I know there's a such thing as friends with benefits, but that's not really what I'm talking aboot. I don't really care all that much aboot sex (surprise!), I just... wish I had someone to do little romantic things with, like cuddling or just talking or whatever.

I dunno. Whatever. I guess my patience will pay off? Maybe? Except I'm really, really impatient. So yeah.

EDIT: Unrelated, I just realized that maybe Anna SHOULDN'T know aboot this, lest she have it shut down like the Facebook group. Hm. :s

So yeah. Just got back from two weeks at home. It was a fairly action-packed two weeks, even as soon as I got back from my last stay at Dad's. Like, literally, as soon as I got home, my damn half-sister informed me that one of my cats died. Nice way to greet me.

From there, though, things started to look up. Sort of. If you recall, I've been working on my aunt's apartments. Well, I worked on them even more. Joyce and Wendy decided to go on vacation, leaving me, Mom and Steve to finish up the last apartment and also take care of their sick dog. At one point Mom locked her keys in their hoose and I had to break into their window to retrieve them. It was actually pretty fun.

In return for my services, I made $353.13, but so far I was only actually paid $200. Also I was SUPPOSED to have made another hundred bucks, but Joyce Americaned me out of that by giving me a McDonald's gift card and a savings bond in lieu of payment. I was hoping to buy a laptop, but now I can't afford one. The gift card did get a lot of use, though. Mmm, frappés.

Once Joyce and Wendy got back, we started fixing their pool. And we completed it. So when I go home again I'll probably go swimming. Or, well, wading, since I can't swim. But yeah. That was my two weeks.
