Internet, Personal Life
Wow, I can't believe it, three posts in the same week?! It just doesn't seem like me, does it? And the really good thing is that I'm not forcing myself to blog for the sake of updating. It's funny because I don't blog when I have a layout that I absolutely hate, and I blog a lot more when I love my layout (hint hint).
I'll try to schedule some posts for later in the week/over the weekend because my cousins from North Carolina are coming up here so I'll be spending A LOT of time with them. They're the only cousins that I have that are closest to me in age; the older of the two is only three months younger than me.
We'll be going to my uncle's surprise 60th birthday party at some park thing. The family reunion I went to on Saturday was okay. I spent a lot of the time in the house because of all the mosquitoes. It wasn't as fun as I was hoping it was going to be, but I did end up getting my tablet. The surprise party is going to be so much better because my cousins will be there and we always have fun with them.
Let's see how long this blogging streak is going to go for. Like Clem said she would, I'll try to post three entries a week. I give myself another week or two then I'll slowly creep back down to my one post a week. :P
Personal Life
Let me give you some background info: my brother's going to college this fall and he obviously needs a laptop. He isn't a stupid kid so he knows that he's going to get one from someone between the end of the school year and September something-another. I have known that he's going to get a 13" MacBook Pro. My two uncles gave him the gift yesterday, because it was their graduation gift to him. If you know me, you can tell I'm jealous.
I've decided that instead of buying my D40x and 50mm lens, I'm going to say that money and put it towards a 17" MBP. Now, this isn't that last that I'll ever be talking about my Nikon. I'm hoping that after I get my mac that I'll be willing to spend the extra $400 to get it. It's something that I wouldn't just toss aside, it'll still be wanted. :P
Why did I change my mind? The first reason I already told you, I'm jealous. How can you not be jealous of someone who has something that you want? The second reason is because I sometimes can't get on the computer but have to do something my iPod can't. Now, I'm not saying that my iPod is a piece of crap and I'm going to stop using it. I would never. It's just that it can't do some things that I need (ie code). The final reason is because it's portable. That means that if I go on vacation or over to someone's house for a long amount of time, I can bring the laptop with me. Even if I don't have internet, I'll still be able to use my local server or draw something on Photoshop/Illustrator.
There you have it. My money goal for the next year/two years. I already have about $430 that I made, not received as a gift. That's another thing I'm going to do. Whatever money I can make/get, that isn't a gift for my birthday or Christmas, will be put towards the MBP. If I'm lucky I might be able to get it by sometime this winter, but otherwise I'll have it by the end of next summer for sure. :)
