AH! A lack of internet is SAD.

My computer is a cool shiny thing that will sure make me happy. Unfortunately, I can't even go on the internet with it, because I'm still living in the old school days of dial up. Damn you dial up. Fortunately, I can buy this thing that will LET me use my dial up with it. As for now, I'm just loading it up with some music and learning to use it in general.

Exciting, exciting.

I did go on the internet briefly this afternoon, when I was waiting for my sister. SWEET BLISS! It was fast and it was nice. I downloaded yahoo messenger. Unfortunately, my sister came to the door halfway through... Not exactly enough time to do anything.

Tomorrow I'll use some wifi signals at the mall or even Starbucks. Yeah, I'll shell out a few dollahs for some good internet time. It's come to that.

Anyway, I'm looking for the thing I need, and a name that I will name my computer. YEAH. (Names are nice.)

Findings!

I was flipping through my library books this morning, trying to figure out what one to read. You know, what book will be the FIRST one that I complete? Well, I picked Intensely Alice by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Not just because it seems interesting, but because I've been reading about Alice for SO LONG! I don't even think I was in high school when I ventured into her world... And I LOVE IT! So of course I want to see what's a-happening now! So I am going to go START IT as soon as I finish writing this.

Yeah.

But something ELSE happened when I was flipping through the books! I found a gift certificate! For the movies. 10 dollars (I checked). Now, I don't know what to do. I mean... Do I return it? Or do I just keep it? Because if I keep it, this can pay for my movie adventure in November when I go see Harry Potter. PLUS I don't know if the people will even GET the card back... You know? (I obviously made my decision and just trying to justify it at this point.) Yeah. So that was exciting enough, I'd say. You never know what you find in books... Especially library books! I actually once forgot my passport in a book, and my mom and I had to go on the shelf to look for it... We found it, don't worry.

But now my mom makes me check every book before I return it.. IT WAS JUST ONE TIME! (ha.)

Yeah. Not good.

Anyway, my computer is HERE in my city! I just have to sweet talk my mom into taking me to pick it up. Like I suspected, I won't be able to just get it in the mail. Too bad, but meh. Another exciting thing in the mail was that I got some money from a scholarship thing! Now I can REALLY pay for my own books! Well, not me per say, but STILL! IT'S EXCITING! Also: I'm going to follow my teacher's advice when he says if you get scholarship money, USE IT FOR SCHOOL. So... As tempting as it is, I'm not going to use it for LeakyCon. I'll keep that for my paycheque.

Idea! I wonder if I should TAKE IT AND DO IT. no.

I get random ideas for fanfictions in my head. Like, after reading Wintergirls a few days ago, I had an idea of writing a story about a certain girl who has an eating disorder. I think all the clues are already there in the story, and I just have to add more DETAILS! Except I don't want to get into that whole "genre" of fanfiction again, so I won't. Well, I might, but I don't know.

It's sad, because a lot of my fanfiction ideas still go straight to Twilight. I blame this on being my first MAJOR forray into writing some... Shameful, but yes.

Ooh, my computer is in Louisville right now! While it's a bit creepy I can TRACK that stupid thing, I wish it was closer right now. It's true, I do.

Anyway, I didn't do much today. I didn't work, so I slept. And I slept. I also had some breakfast for supper--that didn't involve pancakes--so I was quite happy about that. I'm very sick and tired of pancakes right now. Ahg.

I am also planning on going to the library and movies tomorrow afternoon! That is, if work doesn't call me in. Which it won't. =) YEAH. I'm cool.

AH! MY COMPUTER WON'T BE HERE FOR A WEEK! (legasp.)

I worked again today. I was not pleased.

I can't work three days in a row. It's just TOO MUCH FOR ME. Although tomorrow I'm on call, so I probably won't be called in. They already have enough workers for the day and such. It's just if someone calls in sick, doesn't want to come in, etc. etc. That's when I'm like "!" As I'll be MAD at them for LACKING THE WORK ETHIC!

There was just too much to do today! Although near the end of the day, I had people helping me. That was nice of them, that's for sure. Although in my last room, the two people helping me (and doing all the work...) leave work together, and one of them was the room checker, so they just wanted to go home. I can see that. I wanted to go home, too.

AHALACK! My computer is being mailed through UPS! UPS DOESN'T COME TO MY HOUSE!! That means I'll get a call, and it'll be all, "come get your package". Unlike Canada Post, my mail lady would've BROUGHT IT TO MY HOUSE! Stupid stupid Apple. Plus it said it'll get here by August 20th. While that's a week (fairly good), my dad and brother might be home before that! My dad doesnt' know of the computer I got! (And when he phoned this morning, he was all excited about the computer he got fixed and put LOADS more of memory on it... For cheap.) And I'll be all, shuffling my feet when he asks how much it is.

My mom and I made the decision on the computer. CLEARLY. Yeah. Silly silly... hopefully it'll come beforehand.

Anyway! Yeah. I'm gonna go read LIAR.

I'm excited!

I had to work today! Although I got there at 8:30 (I had first pick at the towels, practically) and it was kind of nice. I would've been out of there at 3PM, but I helped (on my own terms) someone. She was the one I helped last time, and it was good. She got lucky, as her last two rooms wanted very little to NO service. I love when that happens. In the end, I just stayed there for a half-hour more. Not much of a big deal, as everyone was waiting in the hall to sign out. At least I'm getting good karma points!

Unfortunately, I also have to work tomorrow and the day after. This makes me kind of sad, but I won't be complaining too much when my paycheque comes in! (Next friday, by the way.)

Another thing I'm looking forward to coming in?

MY COMPUTER.

It's exciting!

Although I hope it comes in soon... They still haven't shipped it yet, so I'm waiting. Yeah! I'm just like WHOAH! COMPUTER!! It's exciting.

Yes.

Ha.

Weird!

I moved my computer into my room! So now I can stay up as late as I want, without bothering anyone. Because right now, my parents are redoing their room, so their room is located in the area where my computer WAS. And I'm all "hey! you! You're really hindering my online life!" so I did it!

While my parents were out. But my mom didn't mind! She actually helped me fix up my computer area. So now I'm sitting in my room, with a new view. Although my back IS towards my bed, so I can't even look at it.

Oh man. I can't wait until I have my laptop, where I can just ... Not have to sit around THIS thing. *Looks at computer*

Anyway!

I've been going on goodreads a bit more, and it's INTENSE. No. I'm actually rating books I've read. Before I was only doing a select few books, because I'm weird. Even though I LOVE the internet, and half my life is on there, it's like... I don't like random people knowing information about me. I'd rather these people ASK ME, specifically. You know? So... Yes. A little weird thing there.

>.<

Today I just spent the day on the computer, puttering around. It was fun. I love summer break.
