So, I finally FINALLY have a freaking laptop!!!! AHHHH!!!! It's a Gateway tablet PC, and I love it! There's so much new stuff on it, and I can't wait to learn it all!

And I'm writing this in my room, with the help of a surge protector, AC adapter, and two phone lines running all over my bed. It's kinda weird being able to access the internet in my room, but I'm loving it!

I won't be able to play with it that often though, cause I'm always at work. This week, I only have Tuesday off and a Friday half day. So, that's why I'm on it now at 1 in the morning, and will probably be on for much longer.

Also, this computer doesn't fit in the new bag I bought, which is huge. I guess I have to get an even bigger one, which might be a little awkward carrying around.

So, I'm going to figure out all there is to know about this laptop. :D

So, I created this journal cause I wanted to talk about some of the crazy thoughts I have, but none of them make it here. Instead, they're in my other journal, which is full of things that pretty much nobody knows about me. If you would read it, you'd be like, "This is not Whitney!" Very OOC (out of character, yes a fanfiction term. I can't help it that I'm a fanatic about fiction!). And no, this other journal is not online, but private. Nobody will ever find it!!

So, yeah, I don't really know what to talk about. I filled up plenty in the other journal, but none suitable for here. I can say that there is a terrible roach problem in the place I work. I want to spray the place down with roach killer, but I don't know if the fumes would harm anything. Dad suggested leaving this smoke bomb thing in the place overnight, but I can see it filling up with fumes and then not being able to work in there.

Well, I've got to go read that book. Slowly, I'm making progress, but not much. :(

It's really annoying me that I'm seeing these online degree ads on LJ for computer science. I mean, I'm paying a lot to go to college, and if anybody can get the same degree, it has lost some of it's value. Actually, this is why I'm leaning towards computer engineering. Ugh...

So, a lot of people at work are being promoted, like people my age. It's making me pretty happy to know that my friends are. It's not quite so weird anymore.

I best be off to read my book now.

Work has been pretty good recently. The change in atmosphere has been really good for me, and the promotion as well. I now work with boys, which is definitely better than an all girls environment (less drama). Also, my days go by faster, which is always good.

I'm now on day 3 of using Proactive! I'm so happy that I have it, and I can see a difference. I really want all my acne to be gone before I head off to college. And maybe, just maybe, I won't always have to wear make-up before people see me.

My favorite fic updated finally!! That last chapter was posted February 23, and I have been checking it ever since then. I'm sooooooo excited!!

Yesterday, I had somebody ask me if we sold frozen bananas where I work. :D And when I was thinking, I shifted my mouth like Gob is and the guy mimicked me. So, I doubt I'll be doing that anymore. :D

Lindsey, cause mom deleted your Llama Tuesday e-mails, I don't know what e-mail address you use, so I'm posting my schedule here! I work full days every day except Thursday (4-10) and I always work till 10 PM. And I have my birthday off Friday!!! I'm going college dorm shopping with mom in the morning, but I'll have the evening free for...something. :D And, I'm going to bring those laptop bags Friday so you can see them.

I enjoyed my Llama Tuesday yesterday, which also happened to be my day off! I spent it watching much TV and doing some serious thinking about my laptop, that I hope will ACTUALLY become a reality soon. I also ran a mile on the treadmill cause I was becoming a little too lazy.

So, I've got work this morning, but I really want to finish this Pheely story with a fucked up plot. It's kinda addicting cause I want to know what happens! I'll try to pry myself away, but I've got 4 chapters left!

That was what a guy on my crew told me today when I talked about me and my geeky glasses. Yeah, I was creeped out...especially cause he's 14 and it sounded like a proposition, but I'm sure it wasn't. Cause if it was, ekk, creepy.

So, after Whitney talking about how she loves Disney Channel shows, my love for Phil of the Future, and the need for me to have a current show that has a steady flow fanfiction (:D sounds funny), I have resorted to reading Pheely fiction (yes, Phil and Keely!) I've only read one, and it's cute!

I'm not making any progress on this book, and I'm wondering if I ever will. Hopefully it won't really be talked about that much.

This past week, I've been working a lot of late hours and I don't feel like getting on the computer (a real shocker, actually). I've just had enough energy to read my book that I'm no where near completing and falling asleep. It's been a pretty boring week.

I didn't go to see POTC2 with Whitney and Lindsey. After working all day in the heat, it did not sound appealing to watch a movie late. However, I do want to get together sometime. I always work nights *exaggerated eye roll*, but I'll have to make it work somehow.

Oh, goodness, I must be getting to bed. And reading that terrible book. It's terrible cause it's boring. I hope to write in here more often. I'll try.

I was PROMOTED TODAY!!! Yay!! I am now second in command in a different store than I work now, which is ok. I've been my old store for three years now, so it's going to be a little weird. Plus, I get more hours, which is always nice.

Well, today my new boss asked me what I like to do for fun, after telling me how she goes to parties and other interesting stuff. Seriously, I only watch TV and am on the internet. So, I just told her that I watch TV. Yeah, I guess I'm pretty boring, but I think it's exciting. Otherwise, I wouldn't be the happy character that I am today.

My laptop bags are coming in Monday. Monday! Can you believe that quickly?!

I've got to go read my book now.

So, I've been looking at laptop bags (I'm talking about laptop bags, not laptops!) lately on zappos.com, and they have two colors I'm interested in: pink and white. Now, I think I should get the white, cause if I go into an all boy class (what my classes will be) with a pink bag, I feel I will lose some credibility. But, the pink one is pretty, and I just found out that there's only one left in stock!! AHHH!! So, I'll probably buy one tomorrow. But, there's free shipping both ways, so maybe I'll buy both. :D

No, you know what, I'm going to be rebellious. I'm going to order them WITHOUT my parents' permission. AHAHAHAHA!! But, I also did that with my AD DVDs. It was very funny getting the package and seeing Mom's questioning face. But, I think I'll tell her about this.

Let me get my credit card!! *scurries away*

*holds up* Days of our Lives won't be on tomorrow or Friday due to Wimbledon. Now, I love tennis, but I am pretty upset about this. And EJ's gonna be on Monday after his like 2 week hiatus. I can't wait!!

*runs off and returns* So, I just asked my brother and Mom about it. I'm such a good little girl, but they both said, "I don't know. Go to bed." So, since there's no risk of return shipping charges, I will order both. Thank you for experiencing my indecisiveness with me.

Update: I just ordered them, but don't want to tell Mom. She'll be upset, I'm pretty sure, and I put it on my actual credit card, so she might get the urge to take it away from me. :( I'm not a compulsive shopper!! And you should realize this after reading this whole thing. :D And the pink bag doesn't come up as an option now since I bought it. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I had a lot of fun yesterday on my day off. I was on the internet practically all day, so I don't know why I didn't post. But then today, I had to work 12 hours again. There's not much going on in my life except work, thinking about my laptop, and the internet (which right now is fanfiction). This laptop thinking has become pretty hardcore, like I think about how awesome it will be, kinda like obsessing over a boyfriend. My laptop will be my boyfriend. I'll name him and always be with him. This should be a clue that I would like a boyfriend!!

Apparently David Radford (the Frank Sinatra like singer on American Idol) has an album out. I'm actually excited about it, cause I like Sinatra's songs. So, I might just have to get this CD. And the more I see pictures of David, the more attractive he is, so that definitely played a big part in wanting this CD! (and I have no David icons, and it makes me think of Will)

And to my fellow AI fanatic, Sarah: I was just at AI.com, and can you believe that Gedeon was 17 years old?! I don't believe that.
