rynneOMG AM HOME FOR A MONTH NOW!
Also, my parents are awesome. Two different conversations:
(In the airport, waiting for my bags to come)
MOM: I want to go see movies soon. Are there any you want to see?
ME: Narnia!
MOM: I want to see that too!
ME: Oh, and Memoirs of a Geisha!
MOM: Me too! I love that book.
ME: I also want to see Brokeback Mountain.
MOM: So do I. I've heard good things about it.
So sometime soon, I will be seeing, among other things, a movie about gay cowboys with my mother. :D
(After dinner)
ME: *comes out to the living room, with my computer power cord that has the fraying protective coating* I think I need to get a new power cord.
MOM: Why don't we just get you a new laptop?
ME: Um, mine still works fine, even if it's a bit slow...
DAD: Well, it is four or five years old now. We can get you a new one.
MOM: Think about it.
So...I'm thinking about it. :p Do any of you have any particular recommendations for laptop models? I don't think I need anything in particular for college, save one that does the usual computer stuff like write documents, print, and go on the internet. *g*
I still feel a bit bemused that my parents had to convince me to let them buy me a new laptop--this isn't the first conversation we've had about it, 'cause my twin got a new one for graduation, and my parents offered to get me one then too.
Though still, my computer does work just fine, even if I should probably get a new power cord...
Anyway, am finally home again with all my 600+ books, as opposed to the fifty or so I had up there, and I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to read and go to bed (relatively) early. :)
