Have I blogged since Christmas? I'm sure I will figure that out AFTER I'm done with this post, but I got a Mac laptop. It was all dandy at first, the fact that it was used does not bother me one bit, but the keyboard is falling the fuck apart. My mom took this shit to the Apple Store in the bougie Fashion Mall about twenty minutes away from my house, the lady there was like "She needs a new keyboard!!!! It will be $90." Well, as it turns out, no one wants to spend 90 bucks on this computer I got not even two weeks ago. My step-dad said that if he could give me only one piece of advice and let the world and experience teach me the rest, it would be, "If you think something is wrong, check it out and try to fix it right away. Do not ignore it." That goes for both relationships, mental health, and the physical things. Good advice, I'd say. It might be what some consider "Common sense" but what is common sense if most people do not have it? It is not common anymore. Anyway, it feels like I'm going blatantly going against his advice by not getting this keyboard fixed. Who's going to pay for it? I'm sure it will have to be me and I'd kind of like time to maybe save up so I don't go completely broke for a week away from this thing and a new computer that works 40% better. Did I use that percentage right? Who knows.
I up by Chicago on Sunday with my dad to visit my aunt and grandma. I don't know how long of a car ride that is, but I think it might be 4 or 5 hours. I no longer have my iphone, so what did I do in the car? I looked out the window and talked to my dad about life. My dad likes to lecture, but talking to him about theories on life is something I very much enjoy. He can talk too much, and he even might give you a lecture on a topic that had nothing to do with what you asked or said. I feel bad for kids who can't sit down and talk to their parents about a thought or opinion they may have. My dad and I spent a good amount of time talking about the death penalty. (My opinions on that will come in a later post.) As we were riding, I frequently desired to have my camera so that I could take pictures of the scenery we were passing. I sorted through problems I'm going through in my head. All in all (is that even a phrase), I enjoyed not having my iPhone in front of my face for me to be checking the whole car ride there. I would've missed out on nice conversation on complicated topics for people tweeting things I will have forget in a few months. I'm beginning to think that the reason me and my friends all get annoyed with each other so often is because we spend so much time together (well not me anymore) virtually and physically. When our bodies are not in the same vicinity, our conversations and thoughts continue through group message. Sometimes we'd communicate through technology, even when we were all together. It's just a little disappointing how much we all miss out by doing this. It's also sad to know that more people than just my friends do stuff like this.
Guess what came for me in the mail yesterday!!! My creepers! also my Serpentina lipstick!! My Creepers came FOUR days after they were scheduled to arrive. They even checked into my town's mail thing at 2:10 am on saturday, but didn't get delivered to my house until Monday. I think that's what upset me the most. You can't expect the mail to bring you happiness as soon as you think, and not even a little past that.
